Chapter 214 Is she faking her pregnancy?
Sun Jiufeng shook his head, "It should be that the baby hasn't been born yet. Lu Jingyu came to court today."
Concubine Su said viciously: "If she can't give birth, it's a good thing, and we don't have to make plans. I don't know if the Ninth Prince's men will be able to help."
Sun Jiufeng whispered, "My Lady, there is someone who is also suitable for taking action."
Concubine Su: "Who?"
Sun Jiufeng: "The concubine Zhao Jing, the new concubine of Duke Qin. Zhao Jing is a smart person. She probably wouldn't be content to be just a concubine. Most importantly, she has a useless son."
Concubine Su: "Then send someone to capture her son immediately and make her do it when Gu Qingning gives birth."
"This way, even if the truth is revealed in the future, we can still put the blame on the Ninth Prince!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Sun Jiufeng carefully massaged Concubine Su's legs, puzzled and asked:
"But Madam, I don't understand why you have been so upset about Lu Jingyu?"
"His identity hasn't been exposed yet. Isn't it better for us to stay away from him?"
Concubine Su narrowed her eyes and looked listless, "What do you know? His personality is exactly the same as when Your Majesty was young."
"And most importantly, he still has her blood in his body!"
Sun Jiufeng asked, "The former queen?"
Concubine Su nodded dejectedly.
She murmured, "Whether it's me or Concubine Rou, we are both her substitutes. But Concubine Rou is her biological sister, so Lu Jingyu's body is equivalent to her and Your Majesty's blood flowing."
Not to mention, Lu Jingyu is so outstanding, both civil and military.
If the day comes when the truth is revealed, Your Majesty will undoubtedly choose Lu Jingyu as the crown prince!
What a pity.
At the beginning, they lost the initiative and failed to kill Lu Jingyu completely during the battle.
Sun Jiufeng couldn't bear to see her so depressed, and said quickly:
"Don't worry, Madam. Lu Jingyu is not easy to deal with, but his family is. Since he cares so much about his wife and children, let them get into trouble. Lu Jingyu will definitely go crazy!"
Concubine Su thought about that scene and immediately felt better.
Sun Jiufeng immediately sent someone to look for Zhao Jing's son.
But it was too late.
At this time, Sun Cheng had just lost all his money and staggered out of the casino.
Just after turning a corner, he was covered by a sack that fell from the sky and knocked unconscious.
Su Ziyuan went to report to Lu Jingyu, "Master, how should we deal with this man?"
Lu Jingyu: "Beat him up and lock him up in the cellar. Remember to give him food so he doesn't starve to death. Let him out after Qing Ning has given birth."
Su Ziyuan: “Yes!”
No matter how ambitious Zhao Jing is, as long as her son is missing, she will definitely be at a loss and look for him everywhere.
He should have no time to cause trouble in the mansion.
After Lu Jingyu returned home, he told Gu Qingning about this matter.
Gu Qingning: "This Sun Cheng is a good handle. If we don't use it well, it may be used by others."
"Since he likes gambling, where does the money come from?"
Lu Jingyu understood, "You mean, Zhao Jing took my father's money?"
Gu Qingning: "When Zhao Jing went to the Duke's Mansion, her clothes were covered with patches, which showed that she was not living a good life."
"Now there are actually a lot of money for my son to gamble, and there are only a few places where I can make money."
After all, Duke Qin has been the Duke and the Minister of the Dali Temple for so many years, so he must have a lot of private property.
Now he and Zhao Jing, their cousin, have a good relationship.
It was easy for Zhao Jing to get some money from him.
Lu Jingyu rubbed his brows helplessly, "I thought she would be my father's confidant, how come she turned out like this?"
Judging from Zhao Jing's personality, this person might be eyeing the entire Duke's Mansion!
Gu Qingning smiled faintly, "Everyone is selfish."
"So, after I give birth to the baby and you release Sun Cheng, find a way to lend him some money."
"Let him lose all his money in the casino, and then go collect the debt."
Having been imprisoned before and being chased for debts, Sun Cheng, who was left with nowhere else to go, could only turn to his mother, who always asked him for whatever he wanted.
At that time, it will depend on how Zhao Jing responds!
Lu Jingyu held her hand and said, "I'm sorry to make you worry about these things again."
Gu Qingning smiled and shook her head. "It's not really a worry. I feel more at ease knowing that everything is under control."
She asked Lu Jingyu to deal with Sun Cheng's matter.
But at the same time, Cuiwei Pavilion will not be spared.
Gu Qingning called Chen Fenfang and whispered to her.
Chen Fenfang's eyes lit up, "Master, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter!"
Cuiwei Pavilion.
What happened at Songtao Pavilion yesterday really made everyone feel troubled.
It’s okay for people with ulterior motives, but I feel a little regretful that my plan didn’t succeed.
Feng Yuaner was just feeling a little unhappy about the trouble she had been going through.
"I think Shen Ruoying is just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. She has no good intentions. She must be extremely afraid that Gu Qingning will give birth to a son!"
The maidservant beside her said suspiciously, "Speaking of which, I suddenly feel that Madam's pregnancy state is a bit strange."
Feng Yuaner pricked up her ears immediately, "What do you mean?"
The maid said, "Madam didn't have morning sickness, but now that I think about it, her belly seems to be getting bigger and smaller."
Feng Yuaner immediately sat up, “You mean, Shen Ruoying might be faking her pregnancy?”
The nanny said quickly: "I dare not say this, it's all just speculation, or maybe every woman is in a different state when she's pregnant."
At this moment, Shen Ruoying's voice came from the yard.
Feng Yuaner immediately walked to the window and saw Shen Ruoying squatting there, teasing the cat slave she brought from the Feng family.
But she had just squatted down for a short while before Aunt Li next to her persuaded her to stand up again. She looked around and pretended to support her waist.
Feng Yuaner's eyes suddenly lit up.
She had suspected Shen Ruoying before, and now it seems that there is definitely a big problem with Shen Ruoying's stomach!
The maid next to her asked suspiciously, "Master, how come the raccoon you brought is so close to Madam?"
Feng Yuaner sneered, "Since it's something that you're not going to take, then there's no need to take it!"
She thought of a way to try and see if Shen Ruoying was pregnant!
Shen Ruoying here didn't know that she was being targeted by Feng Yuaner.
She played with the cat for a while, and then was helped into the house by Aunt Li.
She frowned slightly. "I'm so bored every day. Why don't you let me play with the cat for a while?"
Aunt Li: "Master, there are ears on the other side of the wall. The ladies in Cuiwei Pavilion are not quiet people. You'd better keep a low profile to avoid being discovered."
Shen Ruoying disagreed, "What kind of ladies are they? They are just things that are not presentable!"
"After I finish dealing with Gu Qingning, I'll have time to deal with the others!"
Aunt Li advised earnestly, "Master, no matter what, it is more important than anything else that you give birth to a legitimate son."
"At this critical moment, how about you not go to Songtao Pavilion?"
Now that Gu Qingning is about to give birth to a child, the entire Duke's Mansion is on high alert.
Not to mention, everyone at Songtao Pavilion is on high alert.
Aunt Li's heart was beating so fast, and she always felt that something big was going to happen.
And her master shouldn't get involved in this.
Shen Ruoying said very depressedly: "Aunt Li, I really can't accept it."
"Gu Qingning took away everything that should have belonged to me. I just want her to lose a child. What's wrong with that?"
"Besides, I didn't even give birth to my first child, so why should she be able to do it?"
When she mentioned the exchange of marriages, Shen Ruoying couldn't help crying.
Aunt Li's heart softened and she hugged her uncomfortably, patting her back gently.
"Forget about it this time. As for this matter, you must keep a low profile and don't get involved in any other matters of the Duke's Mansion."
"I know."
As long as she sees that Gu Qingning is not doing well, her mood will improve.
After the 'legitimate baby' in her belly is born, she will definitely feel better!
But that night, Shen Ruoying was in a bad mood.
Because when Lu Hangzhi came back, he didn't even look at her and went straight to Feng Yuaner's yard.
Shen Ruoying was so angry that her chest hurt.
"Is Lu Hangzhi no longer pretending? Has he forgotten that I am his legal wife?"
Aunt Li: "Master, please don't get excited. Let me go to the yard over there to see what's going on."
Shen Ruoying: "Let Lu Hangzhi come over to me!"
Aunt Li responded with a sad face.
I don't know why, but the master's temper is getting worse and worse.
After all, the second young master is the male owner of this courtyard, how could he be so obedient?
Even after Aunt Li left, Shen Ruoying still couldn't calm down for a long time.
Even when she was engaged to Lu Jingyu, Lu Hangzhi still followed her lead.
Let her come when she is called and go when she is dismissed.
But what happened now? She has become his legal wife, but he doesn’t care about her anymore?
“Meow!”
Just at this moment, the white cat jumped in from the window and looked around for food.
During this period of time, because Shen Ruoying often fed it, the white cat immediately found its target when it was extremely hungry.
Come and ask Shen Ruoying for food.
But Shen Ruoying is in a very depressed mood now, so how can she have the time to play with the cat?
She said angrily, "Get lost! I don't have time for you!"
Shen Ruoying pushed the cat suddenly and threw it to the side.
The cat was nimble and didn't get hurt, but it was too hungry and was stressed out by being pushed away like that.
“Meow!”
The white cat rushed forward and scratched the back of Shen Ruoying's hand.
And Shen Ruoying, whose emotions were already on the verge of becoming irritable, exploded instantly.
"You little beast, you're looking for death!"
Shen Ruoying was about to kick the cat, but the cat reacted quickly and ran away immediately.
"You all bully me, even a little beast like you bullies me, I will kill you all!"
She angrily chased the cat into the yard.
