Chapter 33 Are you still not giving up on Hangzhi?
Shen Ruoying's face turned pale, but she still pretended to be calm, "I am the legal wife, and I will be a mother myself, why should I harm a concubine's child?"
Lu Hangzhi: "I hope it's not you! But I will find out who did it!"
He left after saying this.
Shen Ruoying's body softened and she fell onto the armchair.
Tao Ye was beaten to death, and no one could find the source of the fragrance. How did Gu Qingning find the clues?
At the same time, in Songtao Pavilion, Granny Liao frowned and said:
"Miss, that Bi Yue is not a good person. It was she who told the Second Young Master that you knew about the poisoning, and that's why the Second Young Master came to you and made a scene."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Second Young Master's wife will also know about this. After all, the Second Young Master has a good relationship with her."
Gu Qingning: "I know, I just wanted her to know on purpose."
From the very beginning, she wanted to make the water in Cuiwei Pavilion more muddy.
It didn't make sense that Shen Ruoying wanted to destroy her, but she remained indifferent. She was not made of clay and didn't have any temper.
It was not the right time to not deal with Shen Ruoying thoroughly. But I had to give her some troubles to make her overwhelmed.
Seeing that she knew what was going on, Granny Liao breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Qingning: "Go and arrange for the embroiderers to go to the masters of each courtyard to measure the sizes. Remember to be polite to Biyue and tell them that it was my order."
Granny Liao: "Miss, do you think Bi Yue is still useful?"
Gu Qingning: "Disobedient chess pieces sometimes actually work better."
Granny Liao nodded and immediately went downstairs to take the embroiderer to each courtyard for measurements. When they arrived at Cuiwei Pavilion, the embroiderer was indeed very polite to Biyue.
Biyue was a little nervous at first.
In order to win Lu Hangzhi's favor, she specifically told him that the eldest young lady knew who had poisoned him, which later caused Lu Hangzhi to go to Songtao Pavilion and make a scene.
Biyue was worried about the eldest young lady's revenge.
"May I ask if it was the order of the Duke's wife to prepare winter clothes this time?"
The embroiderer smiled and said, "The Duke's wife has asked the eldest young lady to do this. Madam Yue, don't worry, I will help you measure the size. If you have any requirements, just tell me."
Bi Yue was flattered, but after the embroiderer left, she felt a little confused.
What does Gu Qingning mean?
Is she so stupid that she doesn't know the purpose of what she did before, or is there some other reason?
The fact that Xiu Niang was very polite to Bi Yue and always responded to her requests soon reached Shen Ruoying's ears.
Shen Ruoying's face darkened and she threw the teacup beside her!
"Could it be that the little bitch Bi Yue has already defected to Gu Qingning's side?"
"Miss, you have to be patient. Your health is more important than anything else right now."
The person who spoke was Aunt Li.
She was the dowry of Lady Guangping Marquis. Before that, Taoye and Taozhi had met with accidents one after another, so Lady Guangping Marquis specially transferred her trusted confidant Aunt Li to help her pregnant daughter.
Shen Ruoying was willing to listen to her, but she said aggrievedly:
"Aunt Li, how can I not be angry? Gu Qingning has even extended her hand to Cuiwei Pavilion. Do you think she is still unwilling to give up on Hangzhi?"
Aunt Li: "Miss, no matter whether it is the eldest young master's wife or Bi Yue, they will never surpass you. You are the second young master's legal wife, and you are pregnant with his eldest son, so you will always be superior to them."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoying calmed down a little. She was silent for a while, and then suddenly she understood.
"I was too impatient before and shouldn't have attacked Gu Qingning. Aunt Li, you are right. Wait until I give birth to a legitimate son and wait until Hangzhi succeeds to the title. Then I can properly deal with that bitch Gu Qingning!"
"Yes, that's the truth."
When they met again the next day, Shen Ruoying had returned to normal. When she saw Gu Qingning, she still greeted her with a gentle smile, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Qingning had always known that her cousin was no ordinary person, and she had not expected that such a small matter would make Shen Ruoying so confused.
She also smiled slightly and walked in to pay her respects to Feng.
Today, when Mrs. Feng saw the two sisters getting along so well, she looked happy on the surface, but she was not happy in her heart.
She doesn't want the two daughters-in-law to get along with each other. Only when the two of them dislike each other and compete with each other, will she, as a mother-in-law, feel a sense of accomplishment.
Only then can we control the two of them.
Mrs. Feng suddenly asked, "By the way, Qing Ning, I heard that you opened a clinic that sells some beauty pills. Did Princess Jiamin buy some?"
Gu Qingning: "I mentioned this at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet before, and Princess Jiamin bought some for me out of respect."
Feng: "The beauty pills are effective, right? You are such a fool. Why don't you let us use them? Do you think it's unnecessary at my age, or do you hate Ruoying so much that you don't let her use them?"
Just a few words dug three holes!
You dare to say that beauty pills have no effect? Then how can you sell them to the princess!
Do you dare to dislike her because she is old?
Dare to hold a grudge against Shen Ruoying, which means that the conflict between the two has not been resolved?
Shen Ruoying also heard it clearly. She was gloating a little and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Sister-in-law, the last time I was pregnant, my emotions were out of control, so that's why I acted like that. Please don't bother with a pregnant woman like me, okay?"
Gu Qingning: "You are right. If you are pregnant, try to use less rouge and powder. As for the beauty pills sold in my clinic, they are not suitable for pregnant women. Although you will gradually gain weight, have spots on your face, and your complexion will become worse and worse after you become pregnant...but I believe that the Second Young Master will not dislike you."
Shen Ruoying: “…”
Feng curled her lips and was about to speak when Gu Qingning looked at her again.
"Mother, I mentioned to Biyun who is beside you that there is a whitening ointment in the clinic. Is it needed? But Biyun said that you only use special rouge and powder, and you don't put other things on your face. That's why I didn't mention it again."
Feng choked and turned to look at Biyun beside her. Biyun nodded with a complicated expression, "The eldest young lady's wife did mention it, but she didn't say too much. I thought it was something from her rouge shop..."
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Look, this is just a misunderstanding. Mother, if you need it, I'll have someone send some over later."
Feng glared at Biyun and forced a smile on her face, "Okay."
Seeing that Gu Qingning easily resolved the crisis, Shen Ruoying's eyes turned and suddenly asked with concern:
"But sister-in-law, Princess Jiamin used to be very fond of the young master. Now she suddenly takes the initiative to help you. It's not very common. You have to be more careful and don't let anyone do anything with the pills."
Gu Qingning smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Princess Jiamin is not such a narrow-minded person."
Shen Ruoying said embarrassedly: "I didn't say that to Princess Jiamin, sister-in-law, we are a family. I just want to remind you that you must be on guard against others."
Feng also frowned, "That's right, Qing Ning, we can't offend Princess Jiamin, otherwise the Duke will not be able to protect you."
One by one, they said they cared about her, but one was gloating while the other was distancing himself from her.
Gu Qingning smiled calmly, "I believe Princess Jiamin, she won't harm me, because she said that the young master appeared in her dream."
"What?!"
