Chapter 178 Why don’t you get on the bed?
Lu Changhui sneered, "Why? Now that you have power and are favored by His Majesty, you have grown wings. You no longer take me, your father, seriously!"
Lu Jingyu: "Father, from childhood to adulthood, although you have always favored Hangzhi, I ask myself that I have never done anything unfilial."
"Moreover, he went into battle to kill the enemy when he was a teenager, and won the favor of His Majesty, also for the sake of our Duke's Mansion, to carry forward its glory."
"You let me inherit the title because I am better than Hangzhi. Now Qing Ning is in charge of the household affairs of the Duke's Mansion because she is better at managing the household than my mother and the Shen family, isn't it?"
Lu Changhui listened to his words and slowly calmed down.
He also knew that this was true.
Lu Changhui softened his tone, "No matter what, a harmonious family is the key to success. Never mention the separation of the family again."
"Also, go and deal with that house quickly. If outsiders find out, they will think that there is discord in our Duke's Mansion."
Lu Jingyu: "I won't sell that house."
Lu Changhui: "What?"
Lu Jingyu looked at Duke Qin, whose face turned red because of his anger, and sighed.
"Father, Qing Ning and I both like that house very much. Let's just treat it as our private property."
"Besides, why did I want to split up the family in the first place? It was because of Hang Zhi. Oh, forget it. I won't say more."
When it came to the key point, Lu Jingyu suddenly stopped, making Lu Changhui feel as if he was scratched by a cat.
He couldn't help but ask, "What mistake did Hangzhi make again?"
He used the word 'again'.
After all, Lu Changhui knew that his youngest son had been making mistakes frequently over the past year or so, and he really couldn't let it go.
This is also why Lu Changhui clearly loves his younger son more in his heart.
But he rationally knew that his eldest son was better than his younger son and was more capable of taking on the responsibility of running the Duke's Mansion.
Lu Jingyu whispered: "He hasn't given up on Qing Ning yet."
Lu Changhui was shocked: "Impossible! Hangzhi is not an emotional person, and he will not indulge in women..."
Lu Jingyu said quietly, "Father, now Hang has more wives and concubines in the backyard than you do. Do you still say that he is not emotional?"
Lu Changhui choked suddenly, but he was still struggling.
"That Qing Ning is Hangzhi's sister-in-law. Hangzhi has read so many books of sages, so he must know the etiquette of honor and shame."
Lu Jingyu: "Maybe he just discovered the lemon now."
Lu Changhui thought about his eldest daughter-in-law, then his second daughter-in-law, and finally understood.
Hangzhi regretted it.
Just this conversation of less than a quarter of an hour made Lu Changhui look much older.
He really couldn't imagine that if Hangzhi really caused a scandal between uncle and sister-in-law, the reputation of the Duke's Mansion would be completely ruined.
But even so, we still cannot separate.
He is not dead yet!
While Lu Changhui was struggling, Lu Jingyu left his study and returned to the front yard of Songtao Pavilion.
Call Chen Fenfang.
"What is ma'am doing in the backyard?"
Chen Fenfang smiled and said, "Madam is teaching Mo Yu to read."
Lu Jingyu knew that Qing Ning cared a lot about Mrs. Lin, so she was very nice to Mo Yu, so nice to him that he even felt a little jealous.
I wanted to go to the backyard to see how they learned to read, but I saw Su Ziyuan coming here anxiously.
"Master, I have something important to report to you."
"What is it?"
"A silver-haired man entered the Ninth Prince's residence. Later, I learned from the people in the palace that he was a doctor. It is said that he was the apprentice of the Divine Doctor Bai from Medicine Valley, and he came to treat the Ninth Prince."
Lu Jingyu raised his eyebrows, "Dr. Bai's apprentice?"
Su Ziyuan nodded, "That's what they said, but the other party has never made a public appearance."
Lu Jingyu: "Go to the clinic and ask Doctor Wei whether Doctor Bai has such a disciple and confirm the authenticity of his identity."
"Yes." Su Ziyuan thought for a moment and mentioned another matter, "By the way, Master, some time ago Wang Weishan confessed something else. I wonder if it will be useful."
"What's up?"
"Wang Weishan said that the Lin family seemed to have another daughter, but she had a strange disease and could not live in the dry and cold capital. So she was sent to the warm and humid south when she was five or six years old."
"That child should have escaped the Lin family's massacre. But his whereabouts are unknown now, and we don't know whether he is alive or dead."
Wang Weishan confessed to Sun Jiufeng, and Lu Jingyu had him and the previous housekeeper Su put under guard together.
Also tell him that if he is released at this time, he will definitely be killed by the person behind the scenes.
Of course, if he could remember any useful information, he could make amends for his crime.
This led to what Su Ziyuan said above.
Lu Jingyu raised his eyebrows.
A girl?
According to the time calculation, the girl should be about sixteen or seventeen years old now.
Lu Jingyu suddenly remembered that he saw Qing Ning looking for the scroll about the Lin family tragedy in the study.
Later, she even asked someone to investigate Wang Weishan.
Also, her excitement when she saw Mo Yu...
How could someone who is usually so calm and composed suddenly become so out of control and excited?
Su Ziyuan was watching his master's expression and asked tentatively, "Master, is this useful to you?"
If it is useful, then I will really have to reward Wang Weishan later.
Lu Jingyu said decisively:
"She's just a little girl. She's so young, what can she remember? Maybe she's already married."
"Noble Concubine Su ignored it, so it's of no use. Go back and ask Wang Weishan to think of something useful. There's no need to pursue this matter any further."
Su Ziyuan: "Yes, I will beat him up myself when I get back, and make him think of something useful!"
"Um."
Only by not pursuing the matter can the girl be safe.
After Lu Jingyu had dealt with everything, he went to the backyard.
In the backyard, Gu Qingning was sitting on a round chair, with Banxia fanning her beside her, and looking at Mo Yu's words from time to time.
Mo Yu was very depressed and looked stubborn.
The brush was almost broken by him.
But even so, he did not lose his temper, but continued to obediently complete the task assigned to him by Gu Qingning.
Write a hundred big characters.
Lu Jingyu looked curious, "I asked you to learn martial arts before, but you were never so obedient."
Mo Yu was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Qingning, "Tired!"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Okay, I'll stop here today. You can go play first."
Mo Yu still had a tense face, but his eyes brightened. He nodded vigorously, turned around and jumped out of the window.
This child really doesn't like writing.
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then she felt very worried.
You have to know that my eldest brother and his wife were both people who loved reading.
When the two of you are together, you often play the piano and I play the flute, and we sound in harmony.
It's a pity that their children now only know martial arts and can't even write a few words...
When Lu Jingyu saw the sadness in her eyes and considered his previous guess, he felt extremely distressed.
"Qing Ning, teaching Mo Yu to read is too tiring. Send him to Bei Mo Academy tomorrow."
Before Gu Qingning could speak, Mo Yu leaned over the window and said stubbornly, "No!"
Lu Jingyu: "You can't read."
Mo Yu felt wronged and depressed, and repeated: "No, I won't go."
But then, thinking that he really didn't know many words, he looked at Gu Qingning eagerly and said, "Learn from Madam!"
Gu Qingning's heart melted when he looked at her, and she quickly said, "Okay, I'll teach you when I have time."
Mo Yu was finally satisfied, and a smile appeared on his cool little face.
He raised his chin to Lu Jingyu, then jumped out of the window again.
Coming and going without a trace.
Lu Jingyu: “…”
Gu Qingning was worried that Lu Jingyu was irritated by Mo Yu, so she quickly said:
"Jing Yu, don't argue with Mo Yu. He is still a child."
There was uncontrollable fondness in these words.
Lu Jingyu is no longer jealous of Mo Yu at all.
He nodded and took the initiative to bring up another topic.
"Recently, I had someone keep an eye on the Ninth Prince and discovered that a silver-haired man who claimed to be the disciple of the Medicine Valley's divine doctor went to the palace."
Gu Qingning's attention was indeed diverted.
"Silver hair? But I remember there was indeed a man with silver hair in Medicine Valley, in his twenties. He was the only child of Doctor Bai's deceased brother, and his name was Bai Lansheng."
Lu Jingyu: "Dr. Bai accepted him as his apprentice?"
Gu Qingning shook her head and said, "No, because this person's ambition is not to cure diseases and save lives. He usually likes to study some strange things, such as some hidden weapons."
Lu Jingyu: "What is this person's character like?"
Gu Qingning: "He's a smiling tiger, but he has his bottom line. He's not afraid of anything, but he listens to Doctor Bai very much."
Lu Jingyu frowned, "So it seems that the Ninth Prince didn't come to him to treat his illness?"
In fact, Lu Jingyu suspected that the Ninth Prince had been pretending to be sick.
If I’m really motivated one day, maybe I can jump out of my wheelchair.
He kind of wanted to try it.
Gu Qingning looked solemn, "If Bai Lansheng chooses to help the Ninth Prince, it will be troublesome. Not only does he know many strange hidden weapons, but he also has some underworld forces."
Lu Jingyu: "Divine Doctor Bai has done me a favor, but if Bai Lansheng really helps the Ninth Prince, he will be standing against us."
Gu Qingning thought of the man with peach blossom eyes when he smiled. Although he had a sharp tongue and liked to bully people, he was not a bad person.
She said seriously: "Jing Yu, can you think of a way for Shu He and I to meet Bai Lansheng?"
Lu Jingyu: "Although the Ninth Prince is hiding him very well now, there is still a way to meet him. I will arrange it."
Gu Qingning: “Yeah.”
Lu Jingyu originally wanted to tell Gu Qingning that his father knew about the matter of the house.
But seeing that there was fatigue between her brows, he did not mention it again.
But tonight he stayed in the backyard and didn't leave until he finished washing up.
Gu Qingning looked at him and suddenly remembered that she had been pregnant for three months. Could it be that Jingyu wanted to have sex with her?
It’s not impossible.
But Gu Qingning wanted to take care of her body a little longer.
But Jing Yu has been single for a long time, and she is the only one with him. He is also a military commander, so it must be very difficult for him to endure.
How could she reject it politely so as not to hurt their relationship...
Lu Jingyu habitually leaned on the soft pillow facing outwards and casually flipped through a book on the cabinet next to him.
The long legs were propped up so that Gu Qingning could lie down in it after she got on the bed.
The two of them developed this habit since they slept on the same bed.
Men outside and women inside.
Especially now that Gu Qingning is pregnant, if she needs to drink water at night or has any other requests, it will be more convenient for Lu Jingyu to take care of her.
But now, Lu Jingyu found that Gu Qingning had been standing in front of the couch for a long time.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important?
Lu Jingyu: "Qing Ning, what are you thinking about? Why don't you get on the bed?"
