Chapter 11 A slap in the face, stuns the scumbag
“Bang!”
Gu Qingning slapped Lu Hangzhi in the face with her backhand, stunning him.
He covered his face in surprise and said, "Gu Qingning, you, you actually hit me?"
Gu Qingning: "My elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You said those dirty words to humiliate me, so a beating is the least I can do! This is just a small punishment, but if you dare to do it again, I will ask my father and mother to take charge of the matter for me!"
After saying this, she took her maid and walked towards Feng's yard.
Banxia was a little worried: "Master, the second young master will soon become a young master. If you beat him, will it cause you any trouble?"
Gu Qingning: "No matter what he does, I am his eldest sister-in-law. Even if Lu Hangzhi doesn't care about insulting his widowed sister-in-law, the Duke will not let it happen."
After marrying into the Duke's Mansion for several months, Gu Qingning discovered that the Duke still cared about the deceased Young Master.
However, it is unknown how long we will care about it.
Especially now, Lu Hangzhi is about to inherit the title again...
When they arrived at the main hall, Feng was talking to Shen Ruoying, and the latter said happily, "Great, then Hangzhi will be the young master from now on?"
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have just noticed Gu Qingning, and said apologetically, "Sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean it."
Gu Qingning: "It's okay, this is the truth."
Seeing that she was still calm, Feng and Shen Ruoying felt as if they had punched cotton.
After the routine greetings, Gu Qingning bowed and left.
As soon as she walked out, she heard Feng snorting behind her, "I think she must be so angry that she's about to die, but she's still holding on!"
Shen Ruoying: "Mother, it's normal for Qing Ning to be angry. After all, the position of the young master's wife was originally hers."
Feng: "What do you mean it was originally hers? Now that Jingyu is gone, it is only natural for Hangzhi to inherit the title! Besides, the position of the young master's wife should have been yours."
Gu Qingning didn't care much about what they were saying now, but was thinking about countermeasures.
No one expected that they would be able to convince the Duke so quickly to ask for the title of successor to Lu Hangzhi.
Once the request for the title is successful, when Duke Qin retires, Lu Hangzhi will be the master of the Duke's Mansion.
Gu Qingning didn't think that Lu Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying would treat her well.
And she never gambles her future on others.
It seems that we have to adopt a child to the eldest house as soon as possible. If Lu Hangzhi and the others really set their sights on the young master's assets, then there is only one way.
Split up!
Of course, this is a difficult thing to do, but it is within our reach.
Gu Qingning returned to Songtao Pavilion and immediately asked someone to call Granny Liao and Aunt Chen to tell them about Duke Qin's visit to the emperor to ask for a title.
Granny Liao looked worried, "Will His Majesty agree?"
Gu Qingning: "The title of Duke Qin is hereditary. Now that the young master is gone, it is irreversible to let Lu Hangzhi inherit the title."
She looked at Chen Fenfang, "Aunt Chen, we need to hurry up and adopt a child."
Chen Fenfang felt bitter, so she had to bite the bullet and nodded, "Then I will go again today and try to finalize this matter as soon as possible."
"Um."
After Chen Fenfang left, Granny Liao asked suspiciously, "Why does it seem like Chen Fenfang doesn't want to adopt a child for the young master? But that shouldn't be the case. She should want to protect the young master's property and Songtao Pavilion more than you do."
Gu Qingning: "Maybe Aunt Chen has her own considerations and thinks there may be other options, but right now, we don't have much time to consider."
But even so, Gu Qingning still became suspicious and asked someone to keep an eye on Chen Fenfang.
After Chen Fenfang left the mansion, the servant driving the carriage whispered, "Aunt Chen, there are two groups of people following us."
Chen Fenfang was stunned. There are two groups of people?
She guessed something, and her eyes became more complicated. "Go to the west street market and go back."
"Okay."
Chen Fenfang guessed that among the two groups of people, one must be Feng's people, and the other should be those sent by the lady... It seems that her abnormal behavior has finally made the lady suspicious!
Chen Fenfang felt bitter. She didn't want to create a rift between her and the lady, but the matter with the young master was still unsettled.
Gu Qingning, who was in Songtao Pavilion, was slightly surprised to see Chen Fenfang coming back so soon.
"Aunt Chen, why are you back so soon?"
Chen Fenfang: "Madam, when I went out, I found someone following me. It turned out that person was a close confidant of the Duke's wife. I was worried that it would affect your important matters, so I went to the market to buy some things and came back. Don't worry, I will leave this matter to Chuan Gu."
Gu Qingning's eyes paused.
She guessed it, and Chen Fenfang knew that she also sent people to follow her.
Gu Qingning nodded slightly, "Well, for now, don't alarm my mother-in-law and the others. You did the right thing."
She did not pursue the matter further.
Chen Fenfang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a maid came in and reported: "Madam, the second young master's wife is here."
Gu Qingning: "..."
Is Shen Ruoying here to show off?
Granny Liao said worriedly, "The Second Young Master's wife is pregnant now. She is the most precious person in the mansion. Why is she coming here instead of going back to her own courtyard to take care of the pregnancy?"
Gu Qingning knew that Shen Ruoying definitely had bad intentions, but they all lived in the same mansion and couldn’t hide forever.
"When the enemy comes, we will stop him with soldiers and when the water comes, we will cover it with earth. You all need to be smarter later."
"yes."
Chen Ruoying was originally being supported by someone and was leisurely admiring the Songtao Pavilion.
Songtao Pavilion is larger than Cuiwei Pavilion and has a better location. There are also many exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard. There is a scene every three steps, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.
She almost became the hostess here!
But it doesn’t matter. She is going to be the future mistress of the Duke’s Mansion, and she no longer takes Songtao Pavilion seriously.
Moreover, when Hangzhi inherits the title in the future, she can use her belly to forcibly take over Songtao Pavilion.
At that time, even if Gu Qingning was unhappy, she couldn't do anything to her!
Shen Ruoying, who was in a good mood, was surrounded by maids and entered the flower hall. When she saw Gu Qingning looking at the account book, a dark light flashed in her eyes, and then the expression on her face became very panic-stricken and pitiful.
"Sister-in-law, I came here suddenly. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "No need to bother you. What can I do for you?"
Shen Ruoying caressed her belly unintentionally, her eyebrows slightly furrowed:
"I'm a little uneasy about getting pregnant suddenly. I also had some morning sickness and feel uncomfortable. I don't dare to complain to my mother-in-law about this, and I can't go back to tell my mother and the others, so I thought of coming here to talk to you. After all, you and I grew up together, and you are my relative from my mother's side."
