Chapter 10 Shen Ruoying is pregnant
Lu Jingyu glared at him.
Su Ziyuan touched the tip of his nose and said awkwardly, "Master, when I accompanied the Madam to inspect various shops and farms, the managers all admired her very much. They even said in private that such a powerful Madam is a good match for you!"
Lu Jingyu: "Gu is indeed a good family, but she was forced to marry me. So many people bully her, how can I still bully her?"
Su Ziyuan: "How can this be called bullying? You are her husband, you can support her and protect her."
Lu Jingyu frowned.
He will still give Gu a choice.
If she wanted freedom, he would let her leave with dignity.
If she chooses to stay, then as her husband, he will indeed protect her for the rest of her life!
Chen Fenfang returned home and was a little absent-minded.
Why wouldn’t the young master want such a good wife?
Could it be that the young master is concerned about the lady’s background?
Indeed, the lady’s status is not worthy of the young master, but Chen Fenfang has a very good impression of the lady.
Forget it. The young master has never had a concubine and is not keen on matters between men and women. She should say a few good words for the young master in front of the lady in the future, so that the lady will not want to leave in the future!
In the next few days, Gu Qingning discovered that Chen Fenfang would often tell her about the young master's past.
It’s fine if you say it during the day, but why say it at night?
Although Gu Qingning was very brave, she didn't want to listen any more, so she interrupted Chen Fenfang.
"Aunt Chen, I know you care about the young master the most and you still can't accept his accidental death. But we who are still alive have to look forward, and the young master doesn't want you to dwell on the past."
Chen Fenfang: "Ah, Madam, that's not what I meant."
Gu Qingning said patiently, "I understand. You already treat the young master as a relative, so you can't bear to see our courtyard fall into decline. Don't worry, I will work hard to protect Songtao Pavilion for the young master."
Chen Fenfang: “…”
Gu Qingning didn't want Chen Fenfang to dwell on the past, so she changed the subject, "Aunt Chen, is there any progress on the adoption of a child?"
Chen Fenfang: "Madam, I think this matter cannot be rushed. The earliest we can do it is after the anniversary of the young master's death. There is still half a year left, so we can observe those children more."
Gu Qingning calculated the time and agreed with Chen Fenfang's suggestion as long as they could do it before Lu Hangzhi and his child was born.
It just so happened that during this period, Su Ziyuan helped Gu Qingning select a few shops and needed to determine whether they were suitable for opening a clinic.
As a result, when she went out, she happened to see Lu Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying who were also going out.
The young couple has a very sweet relationship and spends the whole day together.
Shen Ruoying immediately said happily: "Sister-in-law, Hangzhi and I are going to Kaifu Temple. I heard that the trumpet creepers there are very beautiful. Do you want to go with us?"
Gu Qingning: "No, I have something else to do in the shop, you guys go and explore on your own."
Shen Ruoying: "Oh, that's such a pity, we can only be together next time."
She took Lu Hangzhi's hand and got into the carriage.
Lu Hangzhi said unhappily: "Why did you call her? Didn't you see that she didn't appreciate it?"
Shen Ruoying: "I feel bad for Qing Ning's hard work every day. She can refuse us without gratitude, but we can't help but care about her. No matter what, I always feel guilty towards her."
Lu Hangzhi sighed: "It would be great if she was as gentle and sensible as you."
The carriage drove away, and their words fell into Gu Qingning's ears.
Gu Qingning sneered.
These two people are really interesting. Even now, they still think that everything is her fault for not knowing what is good for her?
Then one of you shouldn’t have gotten engaged to me, and the other one shouldn’t have come to steal my cousin’s fiancé!
In addition, the trumpet creepers in Kaifu Temple are indeed beautiful. But more importantly, the goddess Guanyin of Kaifu Temple in Dachu is the most effective in praying for children.
These two people went to pray for a child, and they wanted to take her with them on the trip?
It's really murderous and heartbreaking.
Fortunately, she doesn't care.
With the help of Su Ziyuan, Gu Qingning finally selected two shops next to each other that could be converted into a clinic.
Su Ziyuan has a wide network of contacts. He asked Gu Qingning in detail how to make the arrangements, and he asked someone to help with the reconstruction.
Gu Qingning: "Then I'll let Liao Qi trouble you with all the follow-up matters."
Su Ziyuan smiled and nodded, "Whatever trouble you are talking about, it is what I should do, madam, you don't have to be polite."
Su Ziyuan sent Gu Qingning away with a smile, then turned around and investigated Liao Qi.
Liao Qi is Granny Liao's adopted son. He is taciturn and has been managing various household businesses for Gu Qingning over the years. He is Gu Qingning's confidant.
The point is, this guy is not married yet and is only in his twenties.
Su Ziyuan silently recorded all of this in a small notebook. He believed that the young master would definitely want to know about this in the future.
Gu Qingning was also very happy to see that the clinic was about to open.
Next, she would increase the popularity of this clinic among the noble ladies in the capital, and it would be best if she could spread the word to the palace...
Her grandfather and father were both imperial doctors in the palace and had treated many nobles in the palace.
Her father is an expert in gynecology.
The entire Lin family died tragically overnight. Why did the nobles in the palace do nothing about it?
Maybe there is some secret in it.
In the following days, Gu Qingning worked with housekeeper Feng while keeping an eye on the affairs of the clinic.
Two months later, the clinic was completed, and Gu Qingning also brought her good friends Wei Shuhe and Wei Qingxu, brother and sister.
Wei Shuhe is a disciple of the great master Shen Yao of Yao Valley. She became good friends with Gu Qingning by chance. It happened that the rule of Yao Valley required students to see patients and receive treatment outside to gain experience, so Gu Qingning invited her.
With Wei Shuhe around, Gu Qingning can rest assured about the clinic.
She was in a good mood, but when she returned to the Duke's Mansion, she saw that everyone in the mansion was in high spirits.
Feng even sent someone to call Gu Qingning over. In front of everyone, she said happily:
"We have a very happy event in the Duke's Mansion today."
Gu Qingning had been busy all day and was a little tired. After hearing these words, she subconsciously looked at Shen Ruoying.
The latter looked shy.
Sure enough, the next moment, Feng happily announced: "Ruoying is pregnant!"
Gu Qingning was not surprised at all. After all, Cuiwei Pavilion had been partying every night for three or four months, so it was time for good news to come out.
If there was no more good news, she wanted to suggest that Lu Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying go see a doctor.
Moreover, Gu Qingning also knew that if Shen Ruoying gave birth to a boy this time, Feng would definitely ask the Duke to ask for the title of successor to Lu Hangzhi!
Before that, she had to adopt the child from the eldest wife's family.
The next day, when Gu Qingning went to pay her respects to Mrs. Feng, she happened to meet Lu Hangzhi.
Lu Hangzhi looked at her with high spirits, "Early this morning, my father went to the palace to ask for the title of successor for me. From now on, I will be the young master of the Duke's Mansion. Qing Ning, do you regret it? If you regret it, it's not too late. I can go and ask my father and mother to take you as my concubine."
