Chapter 55 Young Master, Let’s Go Home
Gu Qingning: "Don't ask, nothing happened. I came here just to tell you. I'm going back first."
Lu Jingyu frowned, "Banxia, what happened?"
Banxia glanced at the people in the Marquis' Mansion angrily, "They all bullied Madam, saying that Madam should be secretly happy that the young master is back, and that Madam is an ungrateful person, and also saying..."
Gu Qingning: "Banxia, shut up!"
Although he didn't finish his words, everyone present understood what was going on.
Lord Shen immediately tried to smooth things over, "There must be some misunderstanding here. We are all family. It would be fine if the misunderstanding was resolved. There is no need to make a fuss and go back. Qing Ning, don't be angry. I will ask them to apologize to you later."
If the young master and Gu Qingning were really allowed to go back today, Lord Shen could almost imagine what his colleagues in the court would say about him!
It must be a matter of marriage exchange, which has completely offended the young master!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Jingyu suddenly reached out and held Gu Qingning's hand, looking at her:
"You really want to go home?"
Gu Qingning nodded with red eyes.
Lu Jingyu: "Okay, let's go home."
The two of them walked out hand in hand. Lord Shen was so anxious that he turned to Lu Hangzhi and said, "Hangzhi, please help and talk to them. We can't let Jingyu and the others leave today no matter what."
Lu Hangzhi hesitated for a moment, but still chased after him.
However, his eyes fell on the two people's clasped hands, and he moved away with difficulty.
Lu Hangzhi: "Brother, if you leave like this today, I'm afraid the outside world will misunderstand the Marquis' Mansion."
Lu Jingyu came back after a near-death experience, but he had a conflict with the Chen Hou Mansion as soon as he came back. Outsiders would definitely speculate whether Lu Jingyu's near-death experience was related to the Chen Hou Mansion?
In addition, Lord Shen wanted to establish a relationship with Concubine Su, and he didn't want to offend Lu Jingyu.
Concubine Su is a relative of Duke Qin's Mansion!
Lu Jingyu looked at his younger brother, his eyebrows slightly raised:
"You are only thinking about outsiders now, but I am different. Qing Ning is my wife. If she is bullied and I don't stand up for her, am I still worthy of being a husband?"
After hearing this, Lu Hangzhi's face turned red and white.
Because of the marriage exchange, he was afraid that he would never be able to raise his head in front of his brother for the rest of his life.
Seeing that his brother couldn't win the argument, Lu Hangzhi looked at Gu Qingning for help, "Sister-in-law, you have always been the most considerate, and the Marquis' Mansion has done you a favor..."
Gu Qingning interrupted him, "So the Second Young Master is also like the people in the Marquis' Mansion, trying to repay me with a favor, just like the marriage exchange incident half a year ago?"
Lu Hangzhi: “…”
Gu Qingning squeezed Lu Jingyu's hand and frowned, "Young Master, let's go home."
Lu Jingyu felt his palms itchy, but the expression on his face remained calm.
"Um."
The two men got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive, without paying any attention to the people from the Guangping Marquis' Mansion who were chasing after them.
When they were gradually getting away from the Guangping Marquis Mansion, Gu Qingning said, "Young Master, I just heard from Old Madam Shen that Concubine Su intends to let Shen Yanran marry the Third Prince as his second wife, and also said that the Third Prince's wife Chen Ya is seriously ill and has only a few months to live."
"But I clearly remember that the Third Prince's wife was in good health and also knew martial arts. How could she suddenly become so ill?"
Lu Jingyu suddenly realized, "So you deliberately quarreled with the people from Guangping Marquis Mansion just now?"
Gu Qingning half-lowered her eyes, "They have been making things difficult for me, and I have endured it. But now, I feel that there is something fishy about this matter. The Guangping Marquis's Mansion wants to get involved. Will the Qin Guogong Mansion also be involved?"
Chen Ya's grandfather died in the war while trying to save the late emperor. Her father and brother are still stationed in Mobei with their troops.
Before, Concubine Su had taken a fancy to the Chen family army behind Chen Ya, which was why she went against all odds and tried to find a way to let the third prince marry Chen Ya.
But who could have thought that in just a few years, he would be gone?
Also, why is the Guangping Marquis Mansion moving forward eagerly?
Gu Qingning talked for a long time and found that Lu Jingyu didn't say anything. She raised her head and found that he was staring at her intently.
She subconsciously adjusted the red hairpin in her hair and asked, "Why is the young master looking at me like this? Is my appearance not in good shape?"
Lu Jingyu: "You actually already regard the Duke's Mansion as your home?"
Gu Qingning corrected him, "Young Master, I consider Songtao Pavilion my home."
Of course, when Lu Jingyu completely inherits the Duke's Mansion in the future, she will become the Duke's wife. Well, she can be said to regard the Duke's Mansion as her home.
Lu Jingyu looked into her bright eyes, his Adam's apple became dry, and he inexplicably thought of that night when they almost consummated their marriage.
He turned his face away and coughed lightly, "You are very perceptive and did a good job on this matter. If the Third Prince's wife really had a sudden illness, it would be fine. If there is really some conspiracy, I'm afraid something will happen."
The Chen army is still in the northern frontier, working hard to protect the Great Chu, and yet you are trying to murder their noble lady?
If the situation gets out of hand, there will probably be a mutiny!
Lu Jingyu realized the seriousness of the matter. Even though it was just after the New Year and he was still on vacation, he had to go to the palace to report to the emperor.
Lu Jingyu: "Would you please go back home first?"
Gu Qingning nodded, "You can go and take care of your business first, I will go back by myself."
Lu Jingyu: "When you go back, stay indoors and don't see anyone. Just say you were wronged and had a conflict at the Marquis' Mansion. Wait for me to come back and make the final decision."
Gu Qingning: "Okay."
She knew that if there was something fishy about the Third Prince's wife's illness and the Guangping Marquis's Mansion was involved, then the Duke's Mansion would have to think carefully about it.
Who knows what the people behind the scenes are going to do?
Also, Lu Jingyu’s own problems have not been completely resolved.
As soon as Gu Qingning returned to the Duke's Mansion, a servant came to report that the second young master and his wife were at the door and wanted to see her.
Gu Qingning: "No. Granny Liao, go out and send them away."
"yes."
When Granny Liao walked to the door, she bowed to Lu Hangzhi and Shen Ruoying first, "Second Young Master and Second Young Master's Wife, please go back first. My wife is not feeling well and has already rested."
Lu Hangzhi: "What happened to Qing Ning? Have you asked the court doctor to come and take a look?"
Shen Ruoying glared at Lu Hangzhi with a secret and depressed look.
Granny Liao said calmly, "I was just angry and too sad. I need to rest, so please go back first."
Shen Ruoying almost laughed out of anger.
"How could that be? Qing Ning and I grew up together. She has the best temper. How could she be so angry?"
"Besides, even if I wronged her before and asked her to marry someone else, she is now the wife of a young master. She shouldn't be angry, right?"
Granny Liao: "Second Young Master, if someone pushed you off the bridge and wanted to drown you, but you didn't drown because you could swim, and instead found a gold ingot, would you be grateful to the person who wanted to kill you?"
