Chapter 98 Coveting my sister-in-law? How shameless!
Waiting here.
I just don’t know, is it Shen Ruoying’s cleverness or Lu Hangzhi’s conspiracy?
Gu Qingning took the sachet and looked at it carefully.
The medicinal fragrance on it was already very faint, and it was tainted with a smell that Gu Qingning didn't like, so she casually threw it on the table.
Feng frowned: "Qing Ning, did you really sew this thing yourself and give it to Hangzhi? No, I mean, did you give it to Hangzhi before you got married?"
If that is the case, then there is nothing wrong with it.
After all, Qingning and Hangzhi were engaged.
Shen Ruoying, who was standing beside her, widened her eyes, very puzzled, not understanding why Feng was speaking for Gu Qingning?
In fact, it wasn't that Feng suddenly fell in love with Gu Qingning. It was because she had recently inquired from housekeeper Lu about the current performance of the shops in the mansion.
In less than two months, the harvest is already as much as the harvest of the previous six months!
Feng suddenly thought that Gu Qingning came from a merchant family, so she must be good at making money and managing a shop... She was so tempted that she wanted to let Gu Qingning help manage part of her private property.
In this way, the income will at least quadruple in a year!
Who would complain about having too much money in their hands?
So, for the sake of the money, Feng's eyes were full of kindness when she looked at Gu Qingning.
Faced with their doubts, Gu Qingning nodded and then shook her head.
"I did sew this sachet, but it's not for the Second Young Master, but for the Young Master."
"Some time ago, the young master was drinking with the second young master, and this sachet was lost. Now it seems that the second young master picked it up."
Gu Qingning looked at their expressions and added, "If you mothers don't believe me, you can wait for the young master to come back from his shift and ask him."
Feng: "How can I not believe it? It's just that Jingyu lost something and Hangzhi picked it up."
Feng hoped that big things would be reduced to small things and small things would be eliminated.
The matter passed without any incident.
When Gu Qingning and Shen Ruoying walked out side by side, Shen Ruoying whispered:
"Gu Qingning, you already have a young master, why are you still trying to provoke Hangzhi?"
Gu Qingning turned to look at her.
My cousin Shen Ruoying, who used to be dignified and elegant, and a model of noble ladies in the capital, has lost a lot of weight. She speaks in a gloomy voice, with eyes like a jackal.
Gu Qingning: "It was Lu Hangzhi who picked up the sachet and didn't return it, and he even carried it with him. He is coveting me as his eldest sister-in-law, so shouldn't you question him?"
"You don't question him, because you don't dare, right? You don't dare to destroy the relationship that you have managed to repair with great difficulty."
"However, I still suggest that you go back and persuade Lu Hangzhi. It's enough to covet your sister-in-law once. If you covet her a second time, it would be too shameless!"
Shen Ruoying's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth, "You hid it really well, we were all wrong at first!"
What a poor little thing living under someone else's roof, you are obviously a wild beast with claws!
Gu Qingning looked at her gently, "Cousin, we are no longer on the same battlefield. Don't worry, I don't think highly of Lu Hangzhi."
"If I were you, I would focus on how to keep my position as the legal wife at this moment."
"After all, cousin Yanran may not necessarily enter the palace and be favored. It's not that I look down on her, but the harem is treacherous and unpredictable, and she is not as smart as you."
Gu Qingning saw Shen Ruoying's face change and turned away.
The Guangping Marquis Mansion was a bunch of idiots, actually still counting on Chen Yanran to be favored.
Shen Yanran is spoiled and arrogant, but she doesn't have any scheming intentions.
Although Gu Qingning didn't like Shen Ruoying, she knew that people like Shen Ruoying were more suitable to enter the palace.
As for Shen Yanran, entering the palace was destined to be cannon fodder.
After Gu Qingning left, Shen Ruoying looked at her back, also feeling troubled.
She also thought that Gu Qingning was right. If she had not been married, how could Yanran have anything to do with her entering the palace as a concubine?
She shouldn't have married Hangzhi in the first place!
Man proposes, God disposes. Now, she can only seek the highest position for herself within the greatest possible scope.
Now, her goal is to secure her position as Lu Hangzhi's legal wife.
When Shen Ruoying thought of the child in Linlang's belly, her face didn't look good.
She returned to Cuiwei Pavilion and was about to speak when she saw Lu Hangzhi's anxious face, "Ruoying, have you seen a sachet?"
Shen Ruoying: “…”
She almost scratched her palm and whispered, "No."
Lu Hangzhi looked at her expression and didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and looked somewhere else.
Shen Ruoying took a deep breath.
She now had no choice but to wait for Lu Hangzhi to become a high-ranking official, so that she could secure her position as the legal wife and give birth to another son.
From now on, I will educate my son well!
That night, after Lu Jingyu got off duty, Gu Qingning still mentioned the matter of the sachet.
"Sure enough, the Second Young Master picked it up. Ruoying brought it to Mother today. I explained everything to her, but because it was already dirty, she simply didn't want it and asked the servants to destroy it."
"Um."
Seeing that Lu Jingyu didn't say anything, Gu Qingning didn't say anything more.
After dinner, Lu Jingyu went out and went directly to Duke Qin’s study.
Duke Qin is still looking at files so late at night because he has been busy with many cases recently.
He had to sort out all these cases before the successor to the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was chosen.
"Jing Yu, what's the matter with you coming to see me? Could it be that there is some clue about the conspiracy against you before?"
Lu Jingyu shook his head. "There is still no progress on that matter. The few people who were watching are dead."
Duke Qin: "Ah, what should we do then?"
Lu Jingyu: "I will continue to investigate, father. I came to you for another matter."
Duke Qin: "What's the matter?"
Lu Jingyu looked angry and said, "Father, I almost died before, so I was told that I was killed in battle. At that time, Hangzhi wanted to marry Shen Ruoying, and I don't blame him."
"After all, at that time, I didn't know if I could survive."
The old matter was brought up again, and Duke Qin also said hurriedly:
"That's true. This matter is really too ridiculous, but fortunately you are brothers and sisters, and you don't hold any grudges against each other. You both agreed to make the best of the situation and live in peace."
Lu Jingyu pursed his lips and frowned, "Yes, we have already talked about the marriage exchange. Let's make the best of it. From now on, both of our families will live a good life. But Hangzhi actually secretly hid the sachet embroidered by Qing Ning, and even called her name in his dream!"
Duke Qin's eyes suddenly widened. "Is this true?"
Lu Jingyu nodded sadly, his tone firm and resolute.
"Father, I have already given up my fiancée once. No matter what, I will never give up my wife again this time! If Hangzhi still covets Qingning, then let's split up, right?"
