Chapter 109 If We Hadn't Changed Marriages
Lu Jingyu remembered that the Lin family was a family of imperial physicians. They were kind to others and had excellent medical skills.
Such a good family will not offend anyone easily.
Unless they are getting in someone's way?
Lu Jingyu suddenly remembered that from what he had read before, Imperial Physician Lin was best at gynecology...
His heart sank: "Could it be that it has something to do with the harem?"
**
A guard died in Songtao Pavilion, but not many people in the Duke's Mansion cared about it.
Now, what Feng cares most about is to find a wife for her son who can help him in his official career.
Lu Hangzhi was absent-minded. He said irritably, "Mother, let's talk about this later."
Feng glared, "Why talk about it later? Didn't you say you agreed to divorce Shen? Or, you can't bear to leave her again?"
Lu Hangzhi didn't say anything.
His face was full of pain and confusion.
He was clearly disappointed with Ruoying, but for some reason, he felt very sad after saying the word "divorce".
He obviously likes Ruoying, and has liked her for so many years.
Now that I have achieved what I wanted, why is my life so chaotic?
Lu Hangzhi covered his face with his hands, "Mom, do you think I was wrong?"
Seeing her son so depressed, Feng felt very distressed and said with emotion:
"This is not your fault, it's all Shen Ruoying's fault. She deceived you and caused unrest in our family. Forget it, let's wait for the matter of marrying a wife. We have to choose carefully anyway."
"If you're in a bad mood, go out and have a drink with your friends, listen to some music, and relax. You're about to take office, so you need to make friends with your colleagues."
Lu Hangzhi had exactly the same idea.
At this moment, the maid came to report: "Madam, the eldest young master's wife is here."
Feng frowned, "What is she doing here at this time?"
Maid: "The eldest young lady's wife said she wanted to report to you about the monthly surplus of your shops."
Feng suddenly remembered that she had seen the Duke's Mansion's business before. After it was managed by Gu Qingning, its income doubled.
She also handed over some of her private property to Gu Qingning to manage.
Feng: "Go and let her in."
"yes."
In fact, if Gu Qingning came, Lu Hangzhi should have avoided her.
But Lu Hangzhi didn't want to leave. He lowered his eyes, drank hot tea, ate snacks, and looked like he was worried about something.
Feng had always spoiled her son, and she would not drive him away even though it was against reason.
When Gu Qingning came in, she saw Lu Hangzhi.
She bowed slightly to Feng and said, "Since mother is busy, I will come back later."
Feng was eager to know the income of her private property, and hurriedly said, "It's okay. I've already finished talking to Hangzhi about this."
Lu Hangzhi also nodded.
But he didn't mean to leave.
Gu Qingning frowned slightly and had to pretend that Lu Hangzhi didn't exist. She asked Banxia to deliver the account book to Feng.
"Mother, this is the monthly harvest from the shops you handed over to me. Because I just took over and am still learning about it, the harvest growth is not much."
When Feng saw it, she found that the growth that Gu Qingning mentioned was not much, but it was still a full 30% increase!
She immediately smiled and said, "Qing Ning is really capable. Oh, you are amazing! Well, I have five other shops. You can help me manage them."
Gu Qingning raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Okay."
Gu Qingning talked about some household matters, handed over the account books, and left with Banxia.
After leaving Feng's yard, Banxia complained quietly:
"The Duke's wife is really something. Doesn't she know how hard you work? She even handed over the shop to you."
Gu Qingning smiled faintly.
On the surface, she wanted to make money for Feng, but in reality, she wanted to find out some things and do some tricks.
Also, she wanted Feng to become dependent on her.
After the Duke retires and Lu Jingyu becomes the Duke of Qin, it will be time to divide the family.
At that time, Feng was on the verge of collapse.
After all, she had not forgotten how Feng had plotted against her.
The master and servant were walking out slowly, when suddenly they heard footsteps behind them. Gu Qingning did not look back, but walked faster with Banxia.
Lu Hangzhi had no choice but to take a few quick steps to catch up and block the two of them.
He bowed to Gu Qingning and said, "Sister-in-law, I misunderstood you that time and thought you hit Ruoying. I'm sorry."
"fine."
Seeing Gu Qingning's calm expression, a trace of pain flashed in Lu Hangzhi's eyes.
"Sister-in-law, if I had known today would turn out like this, I would not have agreed to the marriage exchange."
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
Banxia suddenly became nervous and ready to fight.
Fortunately, Lu Hangzhi still had his wits about him and didn't get too close to Gu Qingning, so he stopped.
There was a deep and unremovable sadness in his eyes.
Gu Qingning said calmly: "It's all over. If the Second Young Master is okay, I'll leave first."
Lu Hangzhi: "Qing Ning, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that there was no exchange of marriages. You and I got married. After I passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, I separated from my elder brother. We lived in harmony and lived a very comfortable life."
Gu Qingning: "If the dream is the opposite, it may indicate that Jingyu and I will live a very comfortable and harmonious life. Hangzhi, thank you for your blessing."
Seeing Lu Hangzhi's expression change, Gu Qingning turned around and left without any reluctance.
After they walked away, Banxia said gloatingly, "The Second Young Master must have regretted it. Master, do you think the Second Young Master will divorce the Second Young Master's wife?"
Gu Qingning: "I hope they don't get divorced."
Two such selfish people should be tied together for the rest of their lives, torturing each other and not harming others.
In fact, Shen Ruoying, who had returned to Guangping Marquis Mansion, had calmed down.
"I will not part with Hangzhi."
She was very determined.
When she saw the young master coming back alive, Shen Ruoying actually regretted it.
But at that time she already had Hangzhi's child, and it was a fact. No matter what, there was no way back.
Now, Hangzhi is about to take up the post in the Ministry of Rites and has a bright future. Why should she give up on him and let other women enjoy the fruits of his labor?
Lady Guangping frowned and asked, "But now, what should we do?"
They also didn't want the daughter of the Shen family to be sent back to her parents' home. For one thing, they couldn't lose the support of the Duke's Mansion as their in-laws.
On the other hand, it will be difficult for the daughter of the Shen family to get married in the future.
Old Madam Shen asked calmly, "Ruoying, have you asked Qingning for help?"
When Gu Qingning was mentioned, Shen Ruoying scratched her palms with her nails, her eyes gloomy.
"I went to ask her for help, but not only was she unwilling to help me, she even added insult to injury!"
But what bothered Shen Ruoying the most was that the young master actually defended Gu Qingning in that way!
Why?
Obviously, the young master was her fiancé before!
If she hadn't given up the position of the young master's wife, how would Gu Qingning have had a role?
