Chapter 41 Kneeling in front of the bed and begging for forgiveness
Before Lu Hangzhi could stop him, he heard the servant say these words in a clear and sweet voice.
Everyone was silent, and Lu Hangzhi was extremely ashamed and angry.
Lu Hangzhi and Xu Daoan were originally brothers. Since Xu Daoan was one year older than him, he naturally called him brother.
The girl Linlang was the first one Xu Daoan fell in love with, but she also fell in love with Lu Hangzhi and was willing to serve him.
In Xu Daoan's opinion, Lu Hangzhi was trying to steal his sister-in-law.
And Lu Hangzhi’s current wife, Shen Ruoying, was originally his future sister-in-law.
And later, Lu Hangzhi always had a special feeling for his current sister-in-law Gu Qingning...
In addition, Lu Hangzhi had drunk a lot of alcohol at the time, and he immediately got drunk and hit Xu Daoan.
Duke Qin's face turned livid, and he finally said angrily: "If you don't admit your mistake, just kneel here!"
Duke Qin left in a huff. Feng quickly whispered to Lu Hangzhi, "Don't worry, Hangzhi. Mother will help you plead with your father!"
Feng also left.
Gu Qingning raised her head and looked at the tablet facing Lu Hangzhi, which happened to be Lu Jingyu's.
Her eyes paused, then she turned and left.
Shen Ruoying's choked voice came from behind, "Hangzhi, you, you clearly said that I was the only one in your heart, but why did you provoke that fireworks girl?"
Lu Hangzhi: "Ruoying, you misunderstood. Nothing happened between me and Miss Linlang. Every time I went to Yixianglou, I just listened to her playing the piano. I don't know why she likes me!"
Shen Ruoying: "What are you doing at Yixianglou! Didn't you promise me that you would study hard and pass the imperial examination next year?"
"I……"
Their voices fell behind.
Banxia whispered, "Miss, it's a good thing you didn't marry the second young master. Before that, there was a concubine named Yue, and now there's another Miss Linlang. Tsk tsk, Cuiwei Pavilion will be even more lively in the future."
Gu Qingning sighed, "Yes, fortunately I didn't marry him."
Otherwise, there would always be something going on in the backyard and she would have no time to do her own things.
Facts have proved that even though Shen Ruoying had a very strong mentality, these consecutive events still made her so angry that she had a miscarriage.
In the middle of the night, the court doctor was called to Cuiwei Pavilion.
Lu Hangzhi was allowed to return to Cuiwei Pavilion to accompany Shen Ruoying. He knelt in front of the bed and begged for forgiveness:
"Ruoying, I was wrong. I will never drink wine again. From now on, I will concentrate on my studies. I will definitely pass the imperial examination next year, and I will also fight for a royal consort for you!"
Shen Ruoying lay there with her eyes closed.
Hearing this, Madam felt even more uncomfortable.
Because Gu Qingning is already a noble lady.
No, although Gu Qingning is a noble lady, she doesn’t have a husband, but I do!
Thinking of this, Shen Ruoying regained some strength, opened her eyes, and looked at Lu Hangzhi softly:
"Hangzhi, you know how much pressure I endured to marry you, and I even have your child. You can't let me down."
Lu Hangzhi quickly held her hand and put it on his face, "Ruoying, I will go apologize to Xu Daoan tomorrow. I swear I will never go to Yixianglou again, and I will never meet Miss Linlang again!"
Shen Ruoying nodded, "My husband, my father has a very good relationship with Minister Xu. You will inherit the title in the future, and you must inherit these relationships. You must not destroy these relationships willfully."
"Yes, I know. I will listen to you."
After hearing these words, Biyue, who was hiding outside the window, her eyes dimmed.
If these two people continue to have such a good relationship, then she will never have a chance to succeed.
**
The next day, Lu Hangzhi actually took the initiative to go to the Xu family to apologize, and Bi Yue found an excuse to come to Songtao Pavilion to ask to see Gu Qingning.
When Banxia came in to report, she was still mumbling depressedly, "She is so shameless. She betrayed you last time, but today she even has the nerve to come to your house and ask for an audience."
Gu Qingning put down the account book and said, "Let her in."
"yes."
After a while, Bi Yue walked in. She had lost a lot of weight due to her accidental miscarriage last time and she didn't recover well afterwards. Her eyes looked particularly big and conspicuous.
As soon as she came in, she fell to her knees.
Banxia, who was standing next to her, was almost scared to jump up.
Gu Qingning calmly picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip without her brows moving.
Bi Yue gritted her teeth and said sadly, "Madam, please save me!"
Gu Qingning: "Banxia, help her up. She is not my concubine in Songtao Pavilion. There is no need for her to kneel to me."
Banxia: “Okay.”
Bi Yue has been with Feng for a long time and has become quite scheming. She even knows how to use the strategy of inflicting pain on one's self, but Gu Qingning doesn't want to be schemed against or threatened at all.
Biyue didn't want to get up, but Banxia was so strong that he easily lifted her up.
Gu Qingning: "If someone wants to harm you, you should go to your mother, not me."
Bi Yue: "Madam, you took away the ashes from the incense burner in my room last time, so you must have evidence. The poisonous incense was put there by Madam, right? As long as you testify for me and bring out the evidence, then I can..."
Gu Qingning suddenly laughed, "What can I do? Let the Second Young Master divorce Shen Ruoying? Biyue, you have been with the Duke's wife for so long, how can you be so naive?"
"First of all, I don't have any evidence. Even if I had evidence, the Second Young Master is not stupid. How could he not know who most likely did it?"
"But think about it, why didn't he continue investigating?"
Bi Yue's face became paler and paler.
She said dejectedly, "They have such a good relationship, and now the Second Young Master won't even come into my room. Is this what I'm going to be like in the future?"
But I'm not willing to give up.
She was the most beautiful and intelligent maid in the Duke's Mansion. She thought she would be able to rise to the top and become a phoenix in the future, but who would have thought that she would end up in her current situation.
Bi Yue cried in despair.
Gu Qingning picked up an account book and said without looking up, "If their relationship would always be good, there would be no you, no child in your belly, and no Miss Linlang from Yixianglou."
Bi Yue suddenly raised her head, "Madam, you mean..."
Gu Qingning: "He vowed to marry me before, but what happened? Biyue, you are the smartest, you should know what I mean."
Bi Yue's eyes lit up instantly.
She knelt down solemnly again, kowtowed to Gu Qingning several times, then turned and left.
Banxia said blankly, "Miss, why do I feel like you didn't say anything, but Biyue seemed to have heard something?"
Gu Qingning smiled: "Learn from this. Sometimes you should pretend that you have said nothing, but in fact you have said a lot."
Banxia: "...I still don't understand. Never mind. Anyway, I always listen to and do whatever you say."
Gu Qingning put down the account book in her hand and said, "Go find Butler Lu and ask him if he is free this afternoon. I want to borrow some books from the study."
Banxia: “Okay.”
Gu Qingning was still unwilling to give up and wanted to go to the study again.
But when I went out, I found that Mo Yu followed me with a stubborn look on his face.
