Chapter 5: Get pregnant as soon as possible
Chen Fenfang stubbornly left all her things behind, and when she left, there was still a mysterious smile on her face.
After she left, the master and his servants in the room looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
Banxia shuddered, "Aunt Chen looks better with a serious face. I feel like she looks a little scary when she smiles."
Granny Liao checked the account books and nodded to Gu Qingning, "Miss, these account books are all real."
In other words, they only met once and Gu Qingning was just being slightly polite.
As a result, Chen Fenfang actually gave her the management of the young master's assets?
Gu Qingning's eyes swept through the account books one by one.
She understood and said, "Aunt Chen probably doesn't want the first branch to fall into decline, and she also wants to stand on my side. Let me manage Songtao Garden first, and then help me fight for the right to manage the Duke's Mansion from Feng's side. The next step is to adopt a child and register it under the name of the young master."
As a result, the struggle over the eldest wife's side officially began.
And Gu Qingning also firmly established herself in the Duke's Mansion.
Granny Liao breathed a sigh of relief. "If that's the case, that's great! But young lady, are you really planning to adopt a child from the Second Young Master?"
"No, wait until they are born, which will take at least ten months. If you want to adopt them, you can go to the side branch and choose a suitable child. I said this on purpose for Shen Ruoying to hear just now at the Feng family."
Her cousin is a deep-minded person and she thinks a lot about everything.
The fact that they were going to adopt a child from them was enough to make the other party uneasy, and they would try their best to get pregnant as soon as possible so that Lu Hangzhi could inherit the title.
Before Shen Ruoying, she was indeed Lu Hangzhi's white moonlight.
But if Bai Yueguang suddenly became very proactive and stuck to Lu Hangzhi all day long, she would gradually no longer be so precious and rare.
And once they have children, it will be a testing period for their relationship.
Shen Ruoying and the others have been making things difficult for me everywhere, so how could I not give them back?
As Gu Qingning expected, at this moment in Cuiwei Pavilion, Shen Ruoying absentmindedly looked through her dowry list.
What he was thinking about was the meaning of what Gu Qingning said in front of Feng today.
Want to adopt a child?
What? Even if Lu Jingyu is dead, Gu Qingning still plans to help him keep his title?
Shen Ruoying's hand gently stroked her belly and she bit her teeth lightly.
No, she must get pregnant quickly and help Lu Hangzhi win the title, so that she can become the mistress of the Duke's Mansion in the future!
Lu Hangzhi was scolded by his father for a long time, and when he returned to Cuiwei Pavilion, he was still a little depressed.
He and Ruoying are newlyweds and are very much in love. What's wrong with that?
His father actually scolded him, saying that he should not indulge in women and should also consider his widowed sister-in-law Gu Qingning.
Lu Hang was unhappy.
Gu Qingning left him without caring about their long-term engagement, so why should he care about her feelings!
Feeling angry, Lu Hangzhi came back but saw no one in the front room. He asked the maid, "Where is the Madam?"
Maid: "Madam is a little sleepy and is taking a nap in the back."
Lu Hangzhi was a little worried, so he hurried to the backyard dormitory to check, but he saw Shen Ruoying wearing only a thin gauze, sleeping on a soft couch, with a graceful back.
He couldn't help it any longer, so he dismissed the maid and walked towards the bed...
Songtao Pavilion is also bustling with activity.
Gu Qingning quickly cleared out the people in the yard and found excuses to get rid of the unreliable ones.
Among the remaining people, the specific situations of each person were also quickly memorized.
She sorted out the shops and farms that were part of her dowry.
Gu Qingning's dowry was far less generous than Shen Ruoying's, but this was understandable, as there was a gap in their identities after all.
Over the years, she also asked Grandma Liao to find reliable people to manage some private properties and plant many medicinal herbs.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. If you want revenge and find out the truth, money is essential to bribe people.
This is the good thing about getting married. She can now manage some of her private property with a legitimate reason, which is much more convenient than when she was a girl.
Gu Qingning was also thinking that it was time to open a clinic and pharmacy in the capital.
However, when she saw the number of shops, farms, and land owned by the young master, she was stunned!
Banxia widened her eyes and counted for a long time, but still couldn't get it right.
"The young master is so rich!"
Gu Qingning was also amazed, but then she felt sorry for the young master.
The young master is an extremely outstanding person, with great martial arts skills and extraordinary strategy. He is highly regarded by the emperor at a young age.
During the previous wars, he had made many contributions and naturally received countless rewards.
In addition, the young master's mother, Su, is the only legitimate granddaughter of the old tutor Su, a veteran of three dynasties. Her dowry was so rich that it stretched for ten miles.
As a result, he passed away at a young age. It is really a pity that such a talented person was so talented.
In front of Chen Fenfang, Gu Qingning said, "Aunt Chen, the young master has been dead for more than half a year. I want to take some time to personally check on these properties under his name to prevent some of the managers from being lazy and slacking off."
Chen Fenfang smiled.
"Of course it should be done. I will accompany you then, right?"
Gu Qingning: "No need. There are many shops and farms, and it will be very busy. You still have to be in charge of Songtao Pavilion in the mansion. I will bring more servants when the time comes."
Chen Fenfang nodded. "Alright, the guards of Songtao Pavilion are all good at martial arts, so take them with you to protect your safety. I will send a letter to Manager Su and ask him to take care of you."
Gu Qingning: "Okay."
Since she was going out, Gu Qingning naturally had to report to her mistress Feng.
When she went to look for Feng, Shen Ruoying happened to be there.
Gu Qingning bowed and explained the purpose of her visit. After hearing this, Feng was so shocked that the handkerchief in her hand fell down.
"What? Chen Fenfang actually handed over all of the young master's assets to you to manage?"
Although Feng has always been wary of Lu Jingyu, she is even more envious of Lu Jingyu's property.
After Lu Jingyu inherited the title, Duke Qin had already given him some property, in addition to the generous dowry left by the deceased Su.
The most important thing is that His Majesty has bestowed countless rewards in the past few years, and there are many imperial treasures in the storehouse!
It can be said that Lu Jingyu is actually richer than the entire Qin Mansion!
After the news of Lu Jingyu's death came back, Feng had tried to test Duke Qin, saying that now that Jingyu was gone, it would not be good for his properties to be in the hands of outsiders.
This outsider refers to Chen Fenfang and Manager Su Ziyuan.
Duke Qin did not say anything definite at the time, he just said that Jing Yu had just passed away, so it would be better to wait and see.
Feng had an idea in her mind, and thought that she would bring up this matter after the anniversary of Lu Jingyu's death.
But who would have thought that it would be snatched away by that little bitch Gu Qingning?
