Chapter 218 Qing Ning, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!
Gu Qingning was unfamiliar with this voice.
It’s not Banxia or Grandma Liao, and they’re not even from Songtao Pavilion.
Gu Qingning held her breath and placed her hand on the hidden weapon bracelet on her wrist.
When the man heard that Gu Qingning was motionless and her breathing was steady, he thought she was asleep and reached out to pick up the child.
Although the servants said that Gu Qingning gave birth to a daughter, she didn't believe it.
The master has given a strict order that Lu Jingyu must not have a son.
If this were a daughter, it would be fine.
If it's a son and there's no time to change the child, just strangle him to death!
Although the woman was wearing a maid's clothes, she exuded a cold aura from head to toe, and her outstretched fingers were covered with calluses.
Gu Qingning glanced at him and knew that this man was a martial artist.
If things go wrong, he might even become a dead soldier!
I don’t know why, but no one else came in. But the other party was coming for the child. Even though Gu Qingning was powerless at the moment, she had to do something.
Not only do you have to do something, but you also have to kill the enemy with one blow!
She tried her best to keep her breathing steady so as not to alarm the other person.
And the woman was also careless. On the one hand, Gu Qingning was just a woman in the inner house, and she had just given birth to a child, so she must be extremely weak.
So without any precaution, I reached into the swaddling clothes, the child's neck...
But just when her fingertips were about to touch the child, suddenly a silver needle pierced her throat!
"Well!"
She subconsciously covered her throat and staggered back.
Gu Qingning forced herself to sit up and used her body to protect the child behind her.
Her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and because of the sudden movement, she felt extreme pain somewhere in her body.
But Gu Qingning's eyes were extremely calm.
"Who are you? Why do you want to harm my child?"
"You, you weren't asleep..." Seeing that she was exposed, the woman pulled out the silver needle with one hand, and decided to go for broke. She took out a dagger from her arms and stabbed towards Gu Qingning!
They are indeed death warriors.
Even if I die, I must complete the task assigned by the master!
Gu Qingning's hidden weapon bracelet can only hold six needles in total.
Naturally, she no longer held back at this time and aimed at the woman.
Not only that, she also pushed the remaining teacups beside her to the ground, making noises.
The woman dodged three silver needles, but two of them still pierced her.
She knew that Gu Qingning made the noise to call for help.
Without further ado, she ignored her own injuries and stabbed Gu Qingning in the heart with the dagger!
Gu Qingning reached out and grabbed the dagger, but her palm was instantly cut by the dagger and blood gushed out.
But she had very little strength left, and she watched the sharp tip of the dagger getting closer and closer to her heart.
There was a hint of confusion in the woman's eyes.
"You just gave birth to a child and you are a weak woman, how can you have so much strength?"
"Actually, you shouldn't have woken up. My goal wasn't to kill you."
Gu Qingning had an imperial decree and was personally appointed as a princess by His Majesty. If she died, it would probably be quite troublesome.
The master didn't want to completely anger Lu Jingyu for the time being.
But the death of a newborn baby is nothing.
Children are fragile, aren't they?
Gu Qingning gritted her teeth and held the dagger. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She just held on with her last breath.
She has lost so many family members...
Even though the child was just born and is still so young, he is still a family member she cherishes very much!
Not to mention, mother and daughter are connected by heart!
The woman with an injured throat finally said hoarsely: "Since you care so much about your child, then go on the road with him...ah!"
Suddenly someone rushed in and kicked the killer away!
Lu Jingyu almost went crazy when he saw Gu Qingning covered in blood.
"Lime!"
Gu Qingning fell to the ground, but still spoke clearly: "She is a dead warrior, leave her alive!"
At this time Mo Yu also rushed in.
As for the other guards, they did not follow into Gu Qingning's bedroom because of concerns.
The assassin saw that the situation was hopeless and was about to bite the poison hidden between his teeth.
But because his throat was pierced by the silver needle, he was unable to use his strength for a while.
Mo Yu took advantage of this opportunity to remove the opponent's jaw and knocked him out cleanly and neatly!
Lu Jingyu had already rushed to the bed and hugged Gu Qingning tightly.
"Qing Ning, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
He was a tall and strong man, the mighty god of war of the Great Chu, but at this moment, he was as fragile as a child, his eyes were red, and his body was shaking.
Gu Qingning said weakly: "I, I'm fine, the blood is all from the wound on my hand. Jingyu, look, look at our child."
Lu Jingyu checked carefully and confirmed that she was only injured on her hand and had no injuries anywhere else on her body, but he was still worried.
Take out the gauze immediately and stop the bleeding on her palm.
And ask someone to call the doctor over.
Then he turned to look at the child.
The baby in the cradle was still sleeping, biting his fingers.
Although just born, the child has fair skin and delicate features. Except for the eyes that cannot be seen for the time being, the whole body is as delicate as a piece of jade and is very pleasing to the eye.
Lu Jingyu's heart suddenly softened.
"Qing Ning, is this our daughter?"
"Um."
Because of Lu Jingyu's arrival and because her daughter was fine, Gu Qingning finally felt relieved and fainted.
A lot of things happened in Duke Qin's Mansion on this day.
Linlang, the concubine of Cuiwei Pavilion, actually tried to set fire to Songtao Pavilion, but fortunately she was caught and stopped in time.
Gu Qingning had just given birth to a child when she encountered a killer and almost got into trouble.
No matter what, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were all heading for Songtao Pavilion.
Someone doesn't want Lu Jingyu to give birth to this child smoothly.
Duke Qin was already a little annoyed by Zhao Jing's crying before, and now so many things have happened at home. Mainly, everyone has been detained by Jing Yu, and he doesn't know what is going on.
He was in a bad mood, and when he looked up, he saw his wife Feng sitting next to him with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Feng was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling because she heard that Gu Qingning had given birth to a daughter.
It seems that all her wishes have come true!
She raised her head, before she could even retract her smile, she saw Duke Qin's ferocious face.
Feng said awkwardly, "Duke, it's no use glaring at me. I've been recuperating in the yard for a while, but I don't know anything."
Duke Qin: "I didn't expect you to be of any use!"
Feng: “…”
After a while, Lu Jingyu came with a handsome face.
"Father, Linlang must be a spy sent to the Duke's Mansion on purpose. It's possible that she is involved in treason!"
"She must have deliberately set up a trap to make Hangzhi fall in love with her and then enter the Duke's Mansion."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Qin was stunned and realized the seriousness of the problem!
Feng's face turned pale with fear, "Is this true?"
Lu Jingyu looked at her indifferently.
"If you don't believe me, you can go and read the interrogation record yourself. So, don't pamper Hangzhi in the future and send everyone to his backyard!"
"Fortunately, Qing Ning and the child were not in any danger this time, and the fire in Song Tao Pavilion was put out in time. Otherwise, I will never forgive Hang Zhi!"
Feng's legs went limp and she fell back into the chair.
Seeing her useless appearance, Duke Qin was furious.
He said in a cold voice: "If Hangzhi marries another wife or concubine in the future, let Qingning take a look. Don't worry about anything. Just keep her in the backyard!"
Feng was dumbfounded.
Hangzhi had just divorced Chen Ruoying, and she wanted to find a noble lady for Hangzhi to be his legal wife.
She said eagerly, "Duke, I am Hangzhi's mother! I am still alive. How can it be the turn of Gu Qingning, the eldest sister-in-law, to decide his marriage?"
The Duke frowned and hesitated for a moment.
Lu Jingyu said beside him, "You can continue to make the decision, then we can split up. Songtao Pavilion has also been burned down, and it is not safe for Qingning and my child to live here, so it is a good time to move out."
In the past, whenever Lu Jingyu proposed to divide the family, Duke Qin was always unwilling to do so.
But today, Qing Ning and her child almost got into trouble.
As the elders, they didn't help at all, so they felt embarrassed to ask for anything more at this time.
Lu Jingyu had mentioned the separation of the family many times before, which was to slowly break down Duke Qin’s psychological defenses.
This way, things that are difficult to achieve can become possible.
Feng listened nearby, her eyes rolled, and she immediately said:
"Speaking of which, Qing Ning and the child almost got into trouble this time. It was indeed our negligence. Why don't we separate?"
"Jing Yu must be very cautious when doing things for His Majesty, so we must not hold him back."
Why did Feng suddenly become so kind?
Duke Qin looked at her and asked, "Do you also think Jingyu and the others should move out?"
Mrs. Feng nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, we have to consider Qing Ning and the children as well."
"This incident is so scary. If it happens again, if it is not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Duke Qin turned his head and looked at Lu Jingyu.
"Jing Yu, then it's settled. We will live separately but not separate. You and Qing Ning will live in separate courtyards, but this Duke's Mansion will still be yours, and the finances of the Duke's Mansion will still be in the hands of Qing Ning."
"Then have the butler and the stewards of various places report to Qing Ning regularly."
Lu Jingyu nodded, "Okay, then I'll have people start packing up. Qing Ning still has to recuperate after the baby is born. We'll move in after she's done with the baby."
Feng was dumbfounded.
After Lu Jingyu stood up and left, she quickly said to Qin Guogong:
"My Lord, the eldest wife has moved out. Isn't it inappropriate for Qing Ning to continue to manage the household affairs of the Duke's Mansion?"
Duke Qin: "Then what do you think is appropriate?"
Feng asked tentatively, "How about I take charge of the household affairs again?"
Duke Qin sneered, "Why, then you will take the Duke's Mansion's money and lend it out at high interest? Qing Ning is better at managing it than you are, so let her manage it!"
"If you have any objections, then ask Hangzhi to move out of Cuiwei Pavilion."
"If you can't bear to leave your son, then just move out with him!"
Feng: “…”
