Chapter 61 He put his arm around her waist
Fortunately, she had said everything she needed to say to Wei Shuhe. Gu Qingning turned around to say goodbye to the brother and sister, then started to chase after Lu Jingyu.
So she didn't notice that Wei Qingxu was looking at her back with complicated and aggrieved eyes.
But Wei Shuhe saw it.
She wordlessly dragged her brother into the house, took out the medicine box, and applied medicine to him.
"Qing Xu, you are causing trouble for Qing Ning! Don't you know that she is already having a very difficult time in the Duke's Mansion?"
Wei Qingxu clenched his fists, "Sister Qing Ning doesn't like the young master!"
Wei Shuhe: "No matter what, Qing Ning has to stay in the Duke's Mansion, and she has to get along well with the young master! Didn't you promise me that you would never ruin Qing Ning's plans, nor make things difficult for her?"
"I don't!"
"You haven't got this yet? You deliberately went to provoke the young master today. Don't think I don't know! What if the young master takes his anger out on Qing Ning?"
When Wei Shuhe was bandaging his brother, he used force directly and watched him grimacing in pain.
Wei Qingxu's eyes were filled with worry, "Sister, do you think I really caused trouble for Sister Qing Ning?"
While packing up the medicine box, Wei Shuhe said calmly, "That depends on whether the young master cares about Qing Ning or not."

In the carriage, Gu Qingning held the hand warmer with her eyes lowered, still wondering why Lu Jingyu was angry.
Although Wei Qingxu is young and energetic, he is not a rash person.
And the young master is a man of great ambition, how could he get angry after a few exchanges with a young boy...
At this moment, the carriage suddenly jolted. Gu Qingning was holding the hand warmer in both hands and had no time to react. Her body was about to hit the crossbar next to her.
A big hand grabbed her waist in time, pulled her back, and then bumped her into a warm and broad embrace.
For some reason, Gu Qingning suddenly felt that this scene was familiar. She raised her head and saw Lu Jingyu's lowered eyes.
Under the deep silence, it seems as if something is being suppressed.
"Thank you, young master." Gu Qingning said as she tried to get out of his arms.
They were still in the carriage, and people coming and going were all pedestrians. It would be really inappropriate if someone saw what was happening in the carriage.
After hearing the words "Thank you, young master", Lu Jingyu frowned but did not let go of his hand.
Gu Qingning looked at him in surprise.
Lu Jingyu lowered his eyes and looked at her. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he suddenly felt that he was being a little pretentious.
Isn't it just a name?
The person is his, and now she is in his arms, so why should he care?
Lu Jingyu loosened his hand and returned to his normal self, "You and I are husband and wife, we share weal and woe, no need to be so polite."
Gu Qingning quickly sat up straight and hummed, but she was still confused and didn't understand why Lu Jingyu's anger came so quickly and went away even faster.
But at least I'm not angry anymore, which is a good thing.
However, their carriage had only traveled halfway when it suddenly stopped.
The previous bumps were due to the uneven road, why did it suddenly stop this time?
Wei Qingxu's anxious voice came from outside the carriage, "Sister Qingning, it's bad, Princess Jin'an is here with her people to smash the clinic!"
Gu Qingning suddenly lifted the curtain and looked back at Lu Jingyu.
Lu Jingyu ordered Chuan Gu in a deep voice, "Turn around and go back to the clinic!"
It turned out that not long after Gu Qingning and his companions' carriage left, another carriage stopped in front of the clinic.
The person sitting in the carriage was Princess Jin'an Qin Mingyue.
During the previous Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, her husband He Ming had a secret meeting with his cousin in a side room, and then made a big fuss about it.
Qin Mingyue cared too much about He Ming, and she firmly believed that He Ming was framed, so she not only forgave him quickly, but also agreed to bring He Ming's cousin into the princess's mansion and make her He Ming's concubine.
Although there was no explicit rule in the Great Chu that a prince consort could not take a concubine, almost no one ever did so.
After all, this is a slap in the face of the royal family.
But who made Qin Mingyue care so much about He Ming?
Qin Mingyue not only cares about He Ming, she is also very close to Concubine Su.
She happened to hear that Li Tao went to Concubine Su to complain, saying that the owner of the clinic actually instigated his wife to divorce him, which was very bullying.
Concubine Su looked embarrassed, and then Qin Mingyue volunteered to teach Gu Qingning a lesson.
Today she deliberately brought people to the clinic, and started to smash and destroy the clinic on the grounds that the other party could not produce the beauty pills they wanted to buy.
In fact, Qin Mingyue still blames Gu Qingning. After all, if Gu Qingning hadn't offended someone that time and someone hadn't plotted against her, how could He Ming be framed and become an innocent victim?
When Wei Shuhe saw the other party coming at him aggressively, he immediately felt something was wrong.
While asking the servants to stop them, he quickly asked his younger brother to chase Qing Ning and the others.
Qinglan, along with several other guards, stopped Li Tao, who was leading his men to smash the store.
Li Tao raised his chin and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me? Do you know who she is? She is the only daughter of His Majesty, Princess Jin'an!"
Qing Lan said calmly, "We are following the orders of the young master to protect the safety of the clinic. Please don't embarrass us, Princess."
Qin Mingyue naturally knew that Lu Jingyu had returned alive.
But she didn't think that the other party would stand up for Gu Qingning.
There shouldn't be any affection between these two people.
She snorted coldly, "You guys are really good at using big banners. You actually used Lu Jingyu to fool me. Your boss Gu Qingning is an orphan of a merchant family. She married Lu Jingyu by luck. Why would Lu Jingyu protect her? Stop bluffing and keep smashing for me!"
Seeing this, Li Tao was very proud and rushed forward with a group of people.
Qinglan had no choice but to let Wei Shuhe step back while he took his men to stop them.
The two groups fought each other.
Qin Mingyue was followed by a white-faced eunuch named Chen Shu. He glanced at Qinglan and the others, and a hint of worry flashed between his brows.
"Princess, I see that this person's Kung Fu style seems to be from the army. Could it be that they were really sent by the young master?"
Qin Mingyue: "It's impossible. Lu Jingyu doesn't care about Gu Qingning that much! The plot against the Prince Consort was all due to Gu Qingning. If I don't do something today, I will not be able to vent my anger!"
Li Tao had a complicated expression on his face and was about to try to persuade her again when suddenly a young man jumped out from the air and kicked him directly in the face.
This young man looked young, but he was very skilled. He kicked Li Tao and several others to the ground by himself.
He even turned around and looked at Qing Lan with disdain, "You've backed down, you!"
Qinglan smiled helplessly.
It's not that his martial arts skills have declined. After all, the other party is the princess's subordinate, and he can't use too much force. If the matter gets out of hand, it will cause trouble for his master.
When Qin Mingyue, who was sitting on the armchair, saw someone hitting him like this, he slammed the table and stood up.
"Where did you come from? How dare you attack my people?"
"He's my man."
Gu Qingning walked over and looked at the mess in the hall, the frightened Wei Shuhe, and Li Tao who was beaten black and blue.
She glanced at Qin Mingyue and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Your Highness, why did you come to smash my clinic for no apparent reason during the New Year?"
