Chapter 112 I'm afraid I'll have to pledge myself to you
As Lu Jingyu spoke, he checked Gu Qingning's wrist.
As expected, a hint of purple appeared on that fair wrist.
Lu Jingyu frowned suddenly, feeling both distressed and self-blaming.
Gu Qingning did not explain what happened on her wrist, but just said nonchalantly:
"It's okay. Just apply some blood-activating and stasis-removing plaster when you get home."
"Um."
Lu Jingyu hugged the person in his arms tightly, thinking in his heart: My wife is too delicate, I have to be gentler in the future, especially at night.
However, Lu Jingyu was still in a good mood when he thought about his wife coming to him for help when she encountered trouble.
"The people in Guangping Marquis' Mansion are used to repaying favors. You were right to send someone to find me." He also encouraged.
Gu Qingning leaned against his warm chest, "Old Madam Shen must be here to ask me to help Shen Ruoying. I am not afraid of her using her power to repay a favor, but I am worried that this will have a bad impact on you. Will those ministers impeach you?"
Lu Jingyu pulled the reins and the horse started moving. Due to inertia, Gu Qingning's back hit Lu Jingyu's chest again and again.
"Qing Ning, you don't have to care about me. Do whatever you want. I'm behind you."
"If they are rejected and get angry and dare to smear your reputation, or even ask the people in the court to impeach me, I will definitely make them regret it!"
Who said that Young Master Lu Jingyu is a careless military commander who doesn’t understand tenderness?
If other women heard what he said, they would probably pledge themselves to him on the spot!
No wonder Princess Jiamin has always been obsessed with him.
In fact, Gu Qingning was also a little touched.
But she was too rational and just hummed.
Although he didn't say anything else, he leaned closer to Lu Jingyu.
Feeling his wife's dependence, Lu Jingyu's mouth corners slowly rose.
It took less than two quarters of an hour to get from the clinic to the Duke's Mansion. Lu Jingyu inexplicably felt that the journey was a bit short.
When Lu Jingyu accompanied Gu Qingning back to Songtao Pavilion, Old Madam Shen was sitting on the armchair in the flower hall, with sadness in her eyes.
"Qing Ning really hates me so much, otherwise she wouldn't have left me here alone without paying any attention to me."
"She is trying to intimidate me!"
"If I hadn't taken her in, would Ruoying's marriage not have become so difficult now?"
After hearing this, Granny Liao and Chen Fenfang looked at each other in silence and rolled their eyes.
None of the opera singers can speak as well as this old lady.
Isn't it my duty to leave you alone?
Also, the second young master’s wife is about to get a divorce. That’s all her own fault. What does it have to do with their wife?
It's really like walking without shoes and blaming the cold road for hurting your feet!
When Granny Liao accompanied Gu Qingning in the Marquis' Mansion, she was used to the old lady's harshness.
But Chen Fenfang couldn't listen any more.
You know, in the Duke's Mansion, even Feng didn't dare to say so many unpleasant words to her.
Just as Chen Fenfang was about to speak, she saw Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu walking in together.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Old Lady Shen who was sitting on the armchair:
"Madam, you can't say that. The Second Young Master's wife and the Second Young Master are getting divorced, and it has nothing to do with our First Young Master's wife!"
"Why is it okay? If they hadn't exchanged their marriage, Ruoying would be the mistress of your Songtao Pavilion now!"
When Gu Qingning heard this, she burst into laughter.
"Grand aunt, have you forgotten that I didn't want to remarry in the first place, but it was cousin Ruoying who insisted on marrying the second young master. She insisted on remarrying, and all of you indulged her, which led to today's outcome."
"Could it be that you are getting old and have started to forget things? This is serious, you must see a doctor immediately and not be afraid to see a doctor!"
When Mrs. Shen heard what Gu Qingning said, she became so angry that her face turned blue.
She was just about to use her status as an elder to pressure Gu Qingning, but she saw Lu Jingyu standing next to Gu Qingning.
Lu Jingyu is tall and dignified, with a sturdy build, and he usually has a serious face. Every time Mrs. Shen sees him, she feels scared.
She choked suddenly, and the harsh and powerful words were stuck in her throat, unable to move up or down.
Gu Qingning kindly added, "Our Duke's Mansion's doctor is here. Would you like me to take your pulse?"
Old Mrs. Shen: “…”
She didn't know why, but seeing Gu Qingning still being as well-behaved as before, she felt inexplicably unhappy.
But Lu Jingyu was standing next to her, so she didn't dare to say anything harsh.
At this time, Lu Jingyu bowed to Old Madam Shen:
"Speaking of the marriage exchange, I would like to thank the Marquis' Mansion. Thank you for giving me such a good wife like Qing Ning."
Old Madam Shen: “…”
This is even more murderous than asking her to see a doctor just now!
Old Madam Shen's heart really began to ache.
Unfortunately, the person who said this was the young master, so she didn't dare to confront him directly and had to tactfully act like an elder.
She started off modestly, "Actually, it's because Ruoying in our family is not blessed, but Qingning..."
Lu Jingyu: "It is true that Shen Ruoying is unlucky. I almost died on the battlefield. Maybe I was really defeated by her."
Old Mrs. Shen was dumbfounded, "Ah?"
Lu Jingyu also helped her analyze seriously, "You see, I almost got into trouble before, but after the marriage exchange, I was out of danger. Later, Hang was not smooth everywhere, and as soon as he wanted to divorce Shen Ruoying, he passed the exam and became the third place."
"Madam Shen, your mansion has been going downhill in recent years. The men's careers are not going well, and the women are not marrying well. Could it be related to her?"
Old Madam Shen covered her chest with her hands and shook her body.
Lu Jingyu added, "Oh, maybe your sudden poor health has something to do with it. Maybe you in Guangping Marquis Mansion don't believe it, but my mother does believe it."
Feng Shi now indeed has this idea, and believes that after the marriage exchange, Shen Ruoying has affected Lu Hangzhi's fortune.
Old Madam Shen's face was already pale. Whether she believed it or not, all her plans today had failed. How could she stay here any longer?
"I, I do feel a little dizzy, so I'll go back today."
After she finished speaking, she asked the servant to support her and walked out quickly.
Gu Qingning looked at Lu Jingyu in surprise.
Although she was not afraid of Madam Shen, she would definitely have to waste more time talking to her.
But who could have thought that Lu Jingyu could send the person away in just a few moves?
Even... when Old Madam Shen returns, she might really blame all the Shen family's misfortunes on Shen Ruoying!
Gu Qingning's guess was correct. Old Madam Shen returned to the Guangping Marquis' Mansion with a gloomy face, and everyone in the mansion surrounded her.
The Lady of Guangping Marquis also asked earnestly: "Mother, what did Gu Qingning say? Did she say that she would find a way for Ruoying to prevent them from getting divorced?"
Shen Yanran said beside him: "Oh my God, could it be that Gu Qingning is still cold-blooded and heartless, relying on her high status now, and even neglecting you, my grandmother?"
Shen Ruoying didn't say anything, but she was gloating in her heart.
Gu Qingning, Gu Qingning, just wait, tomorrow I will let everyone in the capital tell you how treacherous, heartless, and ungrateful you are!
But at this moment, Shen Ruoying raised her head, only to find that her grandmother was looking at her with gloomy eyes?
