Chapter 114 Madam was too tired last night and did not get up
Gu Qingning really wanted to say that it was for health preservation rather than nourishing!
However, a certain young master turned over and kissed her again...
By the next morning, Gu Qingning was too tired to get up, but Lu Jingyu came back full of energy after boxing for a while.
He changed into court robes and took the health recipe book that Gu Qingning had written earlier.
"I will present this to His Majesty today and ask for a favor for you."
Gu Qingning responded perfunctorily without hearing clearly.
After Lu Jingyu placed a kiss on her forehead, she turned over and fell asleep again.
When Gu Qingning woke up again, it was already noon.
Granny Liao asked worriedly, "Master, you didn't go to pay your respects to the Duke's wife. Will she be angry?"
Gu Qingning: "It's okay, I'll go over later and say I was busy settling accounts and slept late last night."
That was helping the Feng family make money. If she dared to blame herself, Gu Qingning could just say that she would no longer care about all the shops she owned.
When Gu Qingning arrived at Feng's yard and explained the reason, Feng was indeed not very happy.
She wanted to blame him, thinking that Gu Qingning was neglecting her, but then she remembered that he was still making money for her, so she swallowed the blame.
Feng changed the subject and said, "I heard that Mrs. Shen from the Marquis' Mansion came yesterday? Was she here because of the divorce between Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying?"
Gu Qingning nodded, "That's true, but the young master and I appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, saying that those things were all done by Ruoying herself and that she was not worthy of the second young master. In the end, we persuaded her to leave."
Feng was happy to hear this.
"That's right. Apart from being the legitimate daughter of a marquis, Shen Ruoying is useless. How can she be worthy of Hangzhi?"
Feng looked at Gu Qingning and said with a smile on her face: "It seems that you are lucky, otherwise why did Jing Yu come back after you married him, and now our Duke's Mansion is getting better and better."
Gu Qingning smiled slightly, said some polite words, said that she had to go back to take care of the account books, and then left.
After she left, Biyun poured tea for Feng and said with emotion: "The eldest young master's wife is really blessed. If she had been able to marry the second young master, wouldn't the second young master have won the top spot in the imperial examination?"
If Jing Yu was completely defeated by Shen Ruoying, and Hang Zhi inherited the title and became the top scorer in the imperial examination...
When thinking of that scene, Feng couldn't help but sigh.
It’s all that damn Shen Ruoying’s fault!
Now that the matter is done, the marriage cannot be changed back.
Feng waved her hands and said, "Forget it. Gu Qingning's family background is too low. I will help Hangzhi find a wife with a high family background and good fortune."
After all, she has always looked down on Gu Qingning's background.
Gu Qingning led Banxia out, and Banxia said, "The Duke's wife is treating you better and better now."
Gu Qingning smiled indifferently, "She has always looked down on me. In the final analysis, she is just using me as a tool to make money."
Although she has never been treated sincerely by her elders since she was a child.
But he would not take the goodwill shown by the Feng family seriously.
Not to mention her, just look at how Feng treats her stepson Lu Jingyu, she seems to be very nice to him on the surface.
But in reality, how sincere is it?
When Gu Qingning was returning to Songtao Pavilion, she happened to see the butler Lu Yun.
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and then she gradually walked away. However, Lu Yun raised his head, turned around and went back to his room.
Although he saw that the young guard beside the eldest young lady was gone, Lu Yun always felt uneasy for some reason.
"It seems that there are some things that I can't do too much. It's better to retire and return home early."
Lu Yun didn't want to continue working as a steward in the Duke's Mansion. It just so happened that the Duke's Mansion had manors in some places outside the capital, and he could find a reason to manage those places.
Now that the Third Prince is in trouble, Concubine Su's chances of winning are getting slimmer and slimmer. It looks like she has to persuade her younger brother.
In the evening, in an inconspicuous house in the west of the city, Lu Yun paced back and forth anxiously.
Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw the person coming. He immediately said excitedly: "Brother, you are finally here!"
The other person was wearing a mask, had a shrill voice, and the skin on his neck was very white.
"Didn't I tell you not to contact me recently?"
Lu Yun felt that A-di's voice was a little strange today, but he was too anxious to pay attention to it.
"Although that young guard is dead, I've been feeling uneasy lately. The young master is not hurt at all despite such a strong poison... Brother, shall we stop?"
"The Third Prince has been imprisoned, and His Majesty has now ignored Concubine Su. How far are you going to help her?"
"I know you care about her the most, but you are already a eunuch and she is a concubine. There is no way you two can have a future!"
"Brother, why don't you speak?"
Lu Yun suddenly felt something was wrong. If it were usual, when he mentioned Concubine Su, his younger brother would have exploded at the slightest provocation and would have lost his temper long ago.
But why is the person in front of me so indifferent?
"No, you're not a brother!"
He turned around and was about to run, but two people suddenly jumped out and stopped him with swords drawn.
The masked man behind him slowly took off his mask, revealing Su Ziyuan's face. He wiped the white frost on his neck with a handkerchief in disgust.
"I don't know why those damn eunuchs put so much makeup on their bodies. Women don't have as much makeup as they do!"
There's no way. Among the few people, he has fair skin and a less burly build, making him the closest to Sun Jiufeng.
Lu Yun naturally knew Su Ziyuan. His face changed and he took two steps back.
A sword was pressed against his back.
The blood drained from Lu Yun's face in an instant.
Lu Jingyu walked in and sat on the armchair brought by his subordinates.
"Sun Jiufeng is really cautious. After receiving your secret letter, he didn't want to meet you. Instead, he warned you not to act rashly during this period and pretend that nothing happened. But you, it seems that you can't hold back anymore?"
Zhufeng kicked Lu Yun, causing him to kneel down suddenly.
Lu Yun: "Young Master, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know any Sun Jiufeng."
Lu Jingyu: "Yeah, I was also surprised that you are actually Sun Jiufeng's brother. You two don't look alike at all. And your parents are obviously both sons of the Duke's Mansion, so how could they give birth to a son who became the eunuch in charge of the palace?"
Lu Yun said nothing and sat down on the ground with a dead heart.
Lu Jingyu: "You have watched me grow up since I was a child, but you are so cruel as to poison me just for your brother?"
The corners of Lu Yun's mouth twitched, his face full of sorrow.
"I owed him. I had no choice. I'm sorry, young master. I'm sorry..."
He kowtowed violently, then suddenly pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed himself in the heart!
