Chapter 50: Comforting the Young Master
Lu Jingyu shook his head.
"No need. Father, you know that I was a spy in the army and was almost killed! I am so feared by others. If I marry a woman with a strong family background, the person behind the scenes will probably be even more uneasy."
Duke Qin became nervous when he heard this. "What? Someone in the court wants to harm you?"
Lu Jingyu: "Father, please don't make this public. I'm still investigating. I don't know yet whether the other party is coming for me or for our Lu family."
Duke Qin nodded carefully, "I understand. I'll ask someone to check it out too."
Lu Jingyu: "No need, father. Too many people might alert the enemy. However, if anyone is unhappy that I came back alive, you can also keep an eye on it."
Duke Qin seemed to be thinking about something.
It seems that Feng Shi has been unhappy since Jing Yu came back?
When Lu Jingyu left the study, Chuan Gu beside him whispered, "Master, didn't you say that you have ruled out the possibility that she is not the Duke's wife?"
Lu Jingyu: "Find her something to do so that she won't always embarrass Madam."
Kawaguchi's eyes lit up, "Master, you are so kind to my wife!"
Lu Jingyu frowned and was about to say something when a woman walked over leisurely from a distance.
The woman was extremely delicate and was supported by a maid. Her belly was slightly bulging, so she walked very slowly.
When Shen Ruoying heard that Lu Jingyu had come here, she had been waiting near the study. When she finally saw him, she immediately came over.
When I approached him, he already looked apologetic.
She bowed slightly and said, "Meet the young master."
Lu Jingyu: "What's the matter?"
The other party was as cold and indifferent as always. Shen Ruoying also knew that the other party's temperament was like this. She was not angry, but said with a guilty look:
"Young Master, you didn't take your anger out on Qing Ning when you went back yesterday, did you? She is the most innocent in this matter, so please don't be angry with her."
She spoke softly, and after her pregnancy, she looked even more delicate and graceful.
Shen Ruoying knew that men could not resist herself like this.
But who would have thought...
Lu Jingyu asked back: "Shouldn't I be even more angry with you?"
Shen Ruoying choked, then raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Young Master really blames me, but I don't want this to happen. If I had known that you were not dead, I would not have remarried. I was also forced to do so. Does Young Master think that I am the kind of person who climbs up the social ladder and forgets my principles when I see profit?"
Lu Jingyu asked doubtfully: "Aren't you?"
Shen Ruoying: “…”
Her abdomen began to ache again, her face turned pale, and she said aggrievedly:
"Young Master, I, my stomach hurts..."
"If you have a stomachache, go call the palace doctor!" Lu Jingyu looked disgusted and immediately took two steps back, and ordered the servant next to him, "Help your wife return to Cuiwei Pavilion quickly, don't let anything happen and blame others."
After saying this, he turned and left without any reluctance.
Shen Ruoying was so angry that she almost bit her back teeth to pieces!
Aunt Li supported her and said, "Miss, let's go back to the courtyard first. How is your stomach? Do you need to call the palace doctor?"
Shen Ruoying took a deep breath, her face sad, "Young Master really blames me!"
Aunt Li sighed: "How can I not blame him? But who knows if he will come back alive?"
Now that the young master is back, the second young master's plan to inherit the title has completely fallen through.
Even if Shen Ruoying gave birth to a legitimate son now, what would be the use?
Shen Ruoying suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.
"Miss?"
"Madam Second Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
The news that Shen Ruoying had a miscarriage and even invited the imperial physician from the palace alarmed the entire Duke's Mansion.
It is said that Shen Ruoying had a miscarriage after being scolded by the young master, and she might not be able to keep the baby.
Lu Hangzhi looked at Lu Jingyu with red eyes, "Brother, I know you are angry about the wife swap, but Ruoying had no other choice at that time. If you are angry, just come to me, why do you have to scold Ruoying?"
Lu Jingyu: "Which ear did you hear me scolding her? Also, should I beat you up now to be considered as coming at you?"
Lu Hangzhi: “…”
Gu Qingning had already learned what had happened from the people below.
To be fair, Lu Jingyu was really polite to Shen Ruoying. Not only did he not scold her, he just said a few words, which were not too harsh.
Shen Ruoying is really good at this. She knows that after the young master comes back, many people will laugh at her and condemn her.
After this incident, no matter what, the young master can never say a word against her again.
It also shut up the outsiders.
Seeing Lu Jingyu frowning, Gu Qingning came over and straightened his clothes:
"Young Master, didn't you say you were going to the Dali Temple to investigate the matter of spices? Go ahead, my mother is here with me."
Listening to her gentle words, the hostility in Lu Jingyu's eyes dissipated a little.
She just smoothed the corner of his clothes, but it seemed to smooth his heart as well.
Lu Hangzhi frowned after hearing this, "Qing Ning, it's already this time, why are you still checking for spices? Isn't Ruoying's stomach more important?"
Shen Ruoying, who was lying inside, heard what they said about checking the spices and immediately cried out in pain.
Gu Qingning: "The young master only said two words, it's not enough to make Ruoying have a miscarriage. It's mainly because she was worried and overthinking during this period, and she didn't get enough rest. If you don't believe me, you can ask Doctor Jiang."
Doctor Jiang Wang nodded after hearing this, "Second Young Master's wife's condition is indeed like this. If she can stay calm, take medicine on time, and take care of the baby, she can still keep the baby."
After hearing this, Feng and Lu Hangzhi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Hangzhi looked at Shen Ruoying tenderly, "Ruoying, don't let your imagination run wild in the future, just focus on your pregnancy, okay?"
Shen Ruoying: “…”
Gu Qingning reminded him in a friendly way, "Second Young Master, after all, Ruoying has become what she is now because of you."
Lu Hangzhi's expression changed. "Absolutely not! I treat Ruoying sincerely, how could I bear to hurt her? Or maybe Big Brother is too fierce and scared her!"
Gu Qingning: "You mean, when Ruoying was pregnant, you took a concubine and went to the brothel at the same time, and Ruoying was not angry. But the young master only said two words, and Ruoying got pregnant? Could it be that in Ruoying's heart, you, her husband, are not as important as the young master?"
Lu Hangzhi was speechless, and suddenly he remembered Ruoying's lost look when he saw that his elder brother was still alive yesterday, and he couldn't help but be shaken.
So she cares more about her elder brother?
Shen Ruoying didn't bother to pretend to be in pain, and immediately said hesitantly: "Qing Ning, you, you are now the wife of the young master, why do you still want to sow discord between me and Hangzhi?"
Gu Qingning looked bewildered. "I didn't mean to sow discord between you two. I just don't understand why you went to the study room so early this morning. Ah, I didn't say you went there on purpose to wait for the young master."
Shen Ruoying: “…”
Now, Shen Ruoying has no time to take care of her stomach anymore. She should probably go and comfort Lu Hangzhi.
And Feng glared at Gu Qingning several times.
Gu Qingning didn't care at all, "Since this matter has nothing to do with the young master, we will go back."
She turned around, hugged Lu Jingyu's arm and left.
When the two of them returned to Songtao Pavilion together, Gu Qingning found that the person next to him stiffened for a moment.
She immediately let go.
