Chapter 256: Putting on a show for you?
Emperor Minghe looked at Concubine Rou's anxious back and couldn't help laughing.
Concubine Rou has always cared very much about her children.
Mingyue broke her heart.
I hope that this time, Jing Yu can mend her broken heart.
**
When Concubine Rou returned to Qiulu Palace, she naturally came back empty-handed.
Even though Qiyi told her that the young master had left a message and would come in a few days.
Concubine Rou was still in a very depressed mood.
In fact, Lu Jingyu, who did not meet his biological mother, Concubine Rou, alone, breathed a sigh of relief.
When he returned home after a busy day, he specifically told Gu Qingning about this matter.
Gu Qingning: "You don't need to be so nervous. Although Concubine Rou has a gentle personality, she is very considerate."
"The fact that you are her biological son is enough to make her happy."
"So when you meet, no matter what you say, she will love to listen."
Lu Jingyu: "I'm not very good at dealing with women, and I never knew how to deal with female elders since I was a child."
He even confronted Feng.
Gu Qingning said patiently: "It's nothing, you are mother and son, you will just let things take their course."
"If you are really worried about making mistakes, I will accompany you to see Concubine Rou next time."
Lu Jingyu held her hand and nodded.
"I feel relieved to have you go with me. Fortunately, Concubine Rou went to the Queen Mother today, so I came to nothing."
Speaking of the Queen Mother...
Gu Qingning suddenly remembered that when she was watching the dragon boat race, the Queen Mother looked at her meaningfully more than once.
"Jing Yu, do you think the Queen Mother has any opinion about me?"
Gu Qingning remembered that she had never offended the Queen Mother.
In fact, she had never dealt directly with the Queen Mother.
Lu Jingyu: "That shouldn't be the case. You haven't even met each other before. Why would she have a problem with you?"
Gu Qingning: "My intuition tells me that this is the case. Could it be that it's because Qin Mingyue and I don't get along, and then Qin Mingyue told the Queen Mother something about me?"
Lu Jingyu: "Then you don't have to worry about it. When Qin Mingyue returns to the Duke's Mansion, we will have nothing to do with it anymore."
"The Queen Mother will not blame you for this matter."
The same reason applies to the fact that we moved out of the Duke's Mansion a long time ago.
Gu Qingning's attention was immediately diverted, "When does your Majesty plan to restore your status?"
Lu Jingyu: "When the case of the Third Prince's treason is concluded, the Lin family will be cleared of all charges. At that time, my identity will be announced to the public."
The Lin family will finally be vindicated.
Gu Qingning hummed, her eyes glistening with tears.
In fact, when she was young and decided to find out the truth about the Lin family tragedy, no one thought she could succeed.
Granny Liao saw how much she had to endure along the way and asked her to give up more than once with tears in her eyes.
However, when I think of the Lin family, that warm courtyard, blood flowed like a river.
How could she give up?
Fortunately, I didn’t give up, and fortunately, I met Lu Jingyu.
But speaking of Lu Jingyu and Qin Mingyue, Gu Qingning said:
"During this time, I will collect all the household accounts of the Duke's Mansion."
"Give it back to father when the time comes. As for who will be the steward in the future, let him decide."
Lu Jingyu nodded, "Well, I've asked you to help run the Duke's Mansion for a while now, and it's really hard for you."
Gu Qingning smiled lightly, "It's not hard at all. Once things are on the right track, it's actually very simple."
In fact, Gu Qingning also gained a lot of experience through the housekeeping of Duke Guan's Mansion.
When Lu Jingyu regains his status as a prince, she will probably have to face more things in the future.
It is also good to exercise early in the morning.
Lu Jingyu had to deal with the third prince's case of treason, and he went out early and came back late every day.
Gu Qingning began to sort out the accounts of the Duke's Mansion, striving to make every record in the account book clear.
Moreover, now, whether it is the managers of the Duke's Mansion or the managers of the shops and farms under the name of the Duke's Mansion.
They were all very respectful to Gu Qingning.
They all regarded her as the next Duke's wife.
Feng was very depressed about this.
When someone came to ask Feng how much inside information she knew about the third prince's treason, Feng became excited again.
She decided to come to Gu Qingning to test the waters.
Know some details so that you can brag to those ladies when you go back.
result……
Gu Qingning: "Mother, I know nothing about what happened in the court. If you want to know, go ask Jing Yu."
The corner of Feng's mouth twitched.
How dare she?
Little Xiyao happened to be nearby, and was being amused by Mo Yu and was laughing out loud. The little girl was very lively and cute.
Feng looked over, and a hint of tenderness emerged in her eyes.
This little girl is so cute. I wish she was her granddaughter.
When people get older, they tend to show more love and care to their younger children.
Mrs. Feng: "Little Xiyao is really pretty, fair and tender. She is about three months younger than Ming, but she looks better than Ming."
The A Ming that Feng mentioned was Lu Ming, the illegitimate son of Lu Hangzhi, the child born to Linlang.
Gu Qingning thought, "Is A Ming's child still being raised by Ruoying?"
Feng: "Who said it wasn't? I wanted to bring the baby home to raise, but Hangzhi disagreed."
“I don’t know what kind of magic potion that little bitch Shen Ruoying gave him.”
Gu Qingning ignored her words.
Feng also realized that he had spoken out of turn, and asked again:
"By the way, did Doctor Bai say when he will come to Beijing to treat Hangzhi?"
The current situation of Lu Hang is getting worse and worse.
I no longer go to the government office and have simply taken a long vacation.
When a man gets this disease, his self-esteem is damaged.
In addition, he didn't want to go out now, so he looked even paler and sicker.
Gu Qingning shook her head. "I don't know anything about Doctor Bai. But if there is any news, Jing Yu will tell you."
Feng frowned.
How come Gu Qingning knows nothing about anything?
What a tight mouth!
She finally left angrily and returned empty-handed.
Granny Liao said from the side: "This Duke's wife is really not good enough."
"When you hand over the stewardship of the Duke's Mansion back to her, if it falls into her hands, it will definitely not be good."
When Feng was the housekeeper, the children were still young and she was cautious at first, so nothing serious happened.
Now that she has lost all her private money, there is no guarantee that she will not try to take money from the public account.
The most important thing is that there is no shortage of problems with the sick Lu Hangzhi and his chaotic backyard.
Everything costs money.
However, at that time, no matter how the Duke's Mansion was ruined by the Feng family, it would have nothing to do with Gu Qingning and the others.
In fact, the troubles of the Duke's Mansion have not decreased, but have continued to increase.
A few days later, Gu Qingning heard the steward who came to report the matter, telling the story in vivid detail:
"Zhao Jing is back."
"Zhao Jing's son was a gambler and was beaten to death."
"Zhao Jing fainted from crying, and the Duke happened to run into her and brought her back."
Gu Qingning: "...What does mother think about this?"
Steward: "The Duke's wife blocked the door at that time and did not let Zhao Jing in."
"As the crowd pushed and shoved, the Duke pushed the Duchess down, and her head hit the door frame."
"The doctor checked it out and said it was nothing serious, but there was a big lump."
"Madam cried for a long time and scolded for a long time."
After hearing this, Gu Qingning's expression was indescribable.
But I have to say that the Duke's attitude towards women is very similar to Lu Hangzhi's.
These two are biological father and son.
This was something that happened in the elders' backyard, so Gu Qingning didn't bother with it.
Duke Qin was too embarrassed to come to his eldest daughter-in-law about this matter.
As for Zhao Jing, she finally stayed there temporarily as the distant cousin of Duke Qin.
In the evening, Lu Jingyu came back tired, and Gu Qingning told him about this.
She lamented:
"One Feng, one Zhao Jing. One Feng Yuan'er, one Shen Ruoying, and one Bi Yue..."
"Oh, and Qin Mingyue will be back soon."
"What a mess the Duke's Mansion will be in in the future."
Lu Jingyu: "The chaos is their own fault. It has nothing to do with us."
"By the way, has anyone come to ask you about the Third Prince these days?"
Gu Qingning shook her head. "Even if Su Yue was arrested, Shu He didn't come to ask me."
"Jia Min and Nalan Zhu'er didn't come to me at this sensitive time."
They are all smart people.
Knowing this, even if Gu Qingning knew a lot of things, she couldn't ask her.
But there are still some stupid people.
Gu Qingning said unhappily, "Feng wanted to show off among the noble ladies and asked me for inside information, but I refused them all by saying I didn't know."
Lu Jingyu was also very speechless, "If she is really allowed to manage the Duke's Mansion in the future, I guess the Duke's Mansion won't last for a few years."
Gu Qingning: "By the way, you said before that all the Third Prince's people have confessed. Do you know how His Majesty plans to punish them?"
The most important thing is how to punish the third prince and Su Tanxin.
Lu Jingyu: "The punishment for the Third Prince will not be light, but Your Majesty will spare his life."
After all, he is the son I watched grow up.
Gu Qingning: "Didn't you say before that the Third Prince was the son of Su Tanxin and Sun Jiufeng when His Majesty performed a blood test to certify his kinship?"
Lu Jingyu shook his head. "Your Majesty is a man of deep thoughts. The fact that he was able to sit firmly on the throne among so many contenders proves that he is no ordinary person."
"If the Third Prince is really the son of Su Tanxin and Sun Jiufeng, there is no need for a big blood test to prove his kinship. Just chop him up directly."
"Your Majesty is protecting this son."
Gu Qingning was shocked, "Your Majesty, is this a show for you?"
Lu Jingyu nodded.
He could sense that His Majesty was planning to make him the crown prince.
At the same time, it will not leave any hidden dangers for him, the future crown prince.
However, His Majesty wanted to protect his few sons, so he found a way to save the life of the Third Prince.
This will also allow the Third Prince to completely let go of everything and no longer have the ambition to seize the throne...
Gu Qingning recalled that every time she saw him, His Majesty was always elegant and gentle.
In fact, the emperor's heart is unfathomable.
Lu Jingyu: "As for how His Majesty will punish Su Tanxin, we will know soon."
Because at this time, Emperor Minghe was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and slowly walked into the cold palace.
Su Tanxin, with disheveled hair, raised her head and said in surprise:
"Your Majesty, you are finally willing to come and see me!"
"I know I was wrong."
"Please forgive me, okay?"
