Chapter 217 Congratulations, young master, your wife is giving birth!
Gu Qingning's body was numb from the pain, but she still endured it and tried hard.
Beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
Granny Liao's eyes were red as she used a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat off her face, feeling extremely distressed.
"Miss, if it hurts, just scream out."
Her daughter was also a pampered child who grew up in a very loved place.
But ever since the Lin family incident, she never cried out in pain no matter how wronged or injured she was.
But she is not even twenty years old yet.
Gu Qingning shook her head weakly.
It's not the right time yet, she can still bear it.
Songtao Pavilion suddenly took full precautions and did not allow outsiders to enter.
Even though no one said it explicitly, someone immediately realized, could it be that the eldest young lady was about to give birth?
The main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.
Ever since she dealt with Shen Ruoying and learned that Zhao Jing's son was missing, Feng suddenly felt very happy and her illness was almost half healed.
When she heard that Gu Qingning was about to give birth, she was very emotional:
"Gu Qingning is so lucky. Jing Yu protects her like that. But it's a pity that I can't do anything now."
Biyun, who was serving beside her, was shocked. "Madam, you should conserve your energy for the time being and not go through all this trouble."
The main thing is that you are no match for the eldest young lady.
Although Biyun did not say the second half of the sentence, Feng knew it herself.
She is now just an elder in name only. The main thing is that people don't respect elders if they want to.
Without money, he has no power to manage the household.
She really couldn't do anything she wanted to do.
Suddenly remembering something, Feng said, "Biyun, help me go to the small Buddhist temple next door!"
There was one more thing she could do.
That is, she wanted to pray to Buddha to bless Gu Qingning to give birth to a daughter!
As long as Gu Qingning gave birth to a daughter, there would be no incense in their first house for the time being.
Plus, Lu Jingyu doesn't want to take a concubine...
Maybe, from now on, the Duke's Mansion will be inherited by Hangzhi's son?
As for Zhao Jing in the side yard, she was at a loss at the moment, and was indifferent when she heard the news that Gu Qingning was about to give birth.
She also prayed to the Buddha for blessings, hoping that her son Acheng would return safely.
Until the news reached Cuiwei Pavilion.
Now that Chen Ruoying was disabled, Biyue went to ask Feng Yuaner whether they should go to Songtao Pavilion.
Feng Yuaner leaned on the soft cushion with her eyes half closed.
In fact, she simply disliked Shen Ruoying because she was blocking her way.
But she was even more jealous of Gu Qingning, who actually became the young master's wife.
If it was someone who was better than me in every way, that would be fine.
But she, Gu Qingning, was just an orphan, who was only prettier than her and had some brains and means.
Why does the young master protect me like this?
Thinking of how the young master defended Gu Qingning in the main courtyard yesterday, Feng Yuaner felt jealous and envious.
But even so, Feng Yuaner knew clearly that she couldn't do anything to Gu Qingning at the moment.
Gu Qingning now holds the power of housekeeper, and Songtao Pavilion still has so many people guarding it...
Unless she can get the power to head the family in the future!
Now I hope Gu Qingning will be unlucky and can’t give birth to this child!
Feng Yuaner looked at Bi Yue lazily, "If you want to go and have a look, go by yourself. I am not feeling well, so I will not go."
"If my sister doesn't go, I won't go either."
Biyue didn't want to provoke Gu Qingning in the first place, so she came to ask Feng Yuaner for advice as a gesture of goodwill.
After all, Shen Ruoying is already useless, and Feng Yuaner will have the final say in Cuiwei Pavilion from now on.
However, Linlang learned that no one else in Cuiwei Pavilion had any intention of going to Songtao Pavilion, and she frowned and thought.
Cuiying whispered beside him: "Although our people have brought a baby boy, who is at the corner gate. But how to enter Songtao Pavilion is the most important thing."
"I don't know what method Gu Qingning used, but it seems that no one else wants to go to Songtao Pavilion at this time, so we have no legitimate reason to do so."
Linlang also frowned.
At this moment, the son on the bed started crying again.
She was even more irritated.
Cuiying looked at her face and said cautiously, "How about we just give up, girl?"
Linlang: "No! Even if I die, I will complete my sister's request! If it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago."
She stood up, walked up to the crying child, and said coldly:
"If it doesn't work, we'll just have to force our way in."
Cuiying: "Miss, you absolutely cannot do that! How can our limited martial arts defeat so many guards from Songtao Pavilion?"
Linlang reached out and gently stroked the child's face. The child stopped crying because of the mother's proximity and just looked at her eagerly.
Linlang said softly: "Then let's set fire to Songtao Pavilion to create chaos, and we can sneak in during the chaos."
Cuiying looked at her in shock.
Linlang did not leave herself any way out.
She risked everything to fulfill her sister's request and repay her for saving her life.
Cuiying saw that persuasion was useless, so she whispered, "Girl, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
It was Linlang who pulled her out of the land of fireworks and saved her from becoming a pillow for thousands of people.
She also remembers this kindness.
Linlang whispered, "Go to the corner gate and bring the child over. When the fire breaks out in Songtao Pavilion, there will definitely be chaos inside. We can take advantage of the chaos to replace Gu Qingning's child!"
Cuiying: "But, if Gu Qingning gives birth to a daughter, do we still need to change it?"
Linlang curled her lips, "What she needs most now is a son. If it was a daughter, and it turned out to be a son, she would definitely be secretly happy, and at most she would look for a daughter privately, and she would definitely not make a big fuss about it."
"In this way, we have completed my sister's request, and we have also 'helped' Gu Qingning."
There is no time to lose. They don’t know how long it will take Gu Qingning to give birth to the child, so they must act before Lu Jingyu comes back!
Meanwhile, Mo Yu had already rushed all the way into the palace and successfully found Lu Jingyu.
His little face was very serious, "Yes, it's born!"
Lu Jingyu was planning to go to the imperial study to see His Majesty and discuss some serious matters just now, but now he couldn't care about anything else.
He stood up and walked out.
But he was stopped by the Ninth Prince on the way.
Ninth Prince: "Lu Jingyu, I heard that it was you who suggested His Majesty to send the Sixth Prince to Jiangnan with Ouyang Rui?"
Lu Jingyu: “…”
The Imperial Study cannot be so leaky, so, did His Majesty reveal this matter to the Ninth Prince on purpose?
He remained calm and said, "No."
The Ninth Prince was sitting in a wheelchair and needed to raise his head to look up at the tall Lu Jingyu, and his neck felt a little sore.
This made him a little unhappy, but he continued:
"Don't be nervous. I know you also suggested that Cen Jue go with them to Jiangnan. You helped each of them, but this makes me confused."
Lu Jingyu: "There are many things that the prince doesn't understand, and this one is not the worst. If you are all right, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Ninth Prince: "Lu Jingyu, I have something to tell you that is related to your life experience. Do you want to hear it?"
Lu Jingyu paused.
The corners of the Ninth Prince's mouth slowly curled up.
Ever since he found out that his spies on Concubine Su's side had gotten into trouble, the Ninth Prince knew that the other party must have noticed something.
The two of them have conspired to do a lot of things together over the years.
If the other party turned against him at this time, and the Sixth Prince was eyeing him covetously, he would be put in a passive position.
So it’s better to give Concubine Su a warning.
The incident of Concubine Su exchanging children back then is the biggest handle.
Of course, the Ninth Prince was not going to tell the truth right away, but he wanted to keep Lu Jingyu in suspense so that he could use him to his advantage.
At the same time, it can also intimidate Concubine Su.
I thought it was a sure thing, but in the end...
Lu Jingyu: "There is no problem with my background, so please don't worry about it, Your Highness. Goodbye!"
After saying this, he strode away, turned around and left.
The Ninth Prince was left alone sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes wide open!
This Lu Jingyu is indeed a brainless general. There is obviously some hidden secret behind this matter, but he doesn't care at all?
In fact, Lu Jingyu also knew that the Ninth Prince’s willingness to give in was a good opportunity.
Maybe, the fact that Concubine Su "stole the dragon and switched the phoenix" could be made public.
But he already knew the truth, and most importantly, now he has the most important thing to do!
Lu Jingyu even reasonably suspected that the Ninth Prince deliberately said this here to block his way home?
Lu Jingyu took Mo Yu and rode at full speed towards the Duke's Mansion.
The strong wind along the way made his cheeks hurt.
But even so, he didn't care at all, and devoted himself to the journey, eager to go home!
When Lu Jingyu ran back to the gate of the Duke's Mansion, threw the reins to the servant, and walked quickly towards Songtao Pavilion.
But suddenly, a thick smoke was seen rising in the sky towards Songtao Pavilion!
"Lime!"
Lu Jingyu's heart was about to jump out of his throat, and he ran away quickly, and Mo Yu immediately followed.
When they arrived at Songtao Pavilion, they found that the fire had been extinguished.
Although the servants were in a mess, they were still in good order.
When Chuan Gu saw him, he immediately said excitedly: "You are finally back! Congratulations, Master, your wife is giving birth!"
Lu Jingyu walked in and asked, "What happened? How is Madam?"
Kawatani: "Someone set the fire, but they've been caught. Madam is fine, mother and daughter are safe, but she just gave birth, so she's a little weak. I heard from Aunt Chen and the others that she's already asleep."
Even though Lu Jingyu heard that the mother and daughter were safe, he still walked inside quickly.
Lu Jingyu would always feel uneasy unless he saw her safe and sound.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingning had been moved back to the dormitory, and the child, wrapped in swaddling clothes, was placed next to her.
What happened just now really left her with lingering fears.
As soon as the child's crying was heard, a fire broke out outside.
Fortunately, only the bamboo forest on the periphery was burned, and the houses on the edge of Songtao Pavilion were also affected, but the impact was not significant.
Moreover, the arsonist Linlang and her maid who was holding the child.
And the people who helped them send the children were caught as soon as possible.
Gu Qingning half-closed her eyes, feeling sleepy and uncomfortable, but she wanted to turn her head to look at the child.
At this moment, there were suddenly footsteps coming closer and closer, and they were about to reach the bed.
Someone asked softly:
"Ma'am, are you asleep?"
