Chapter 99 Do you regret having a replacement marriage?
It is impossible to split the family.
The Qin family had many descendants, but Duke Qin only had two sons.
Although the Duke of Qin favored his younger son more, the facts were clear and it was the younger son who was wrong.
Duke Qin felt very guilty when he saw his eldest son, a seven-foot-tall man who was supposed to be a military commander on the battlefield, feeling so wronged.
"Jingyu, your mother and I are still young, and Hangzhi is still young and ignorant, so let's not separate the family for now. However, Hangzhi was wrong in this matter after all, and I will definitely talk to him!"
Lu Jingyu didn't say anything.
Duke Qin gritted his teeth and said, "I will make him kneel down in front of the ancestors in the ancestral hall and swear that if he covets Qing Ning again, I will drive him out! How do you think about this?"
Lu Jingyu: "Then I will listen to my father again."
When Lu Jingyu left his father's study, the sad look on his face disappeared.
Kawatani was shocked, "Master, I didn't expect you can act, too?"
Lu Jingyu said calmly: "It's not acting, but my father just likes this."
He knew that his father had favored Hangzhi more since he was a child, but he didn't care too much because he was much better than Hangzhi.
As an older brother, he would be more humble and caring towards his younger brother.
But brotherly love and respect does not include giving up one's wife!
Duke Qin went to Feng's yard to rest at night, which made Feng very happy.
Late in the evening, she took a bath with incense and changed into a newly made lotus-colored undershirt.
But all her preparations were shown to the blind man, and Duke Qin was not moved at all, just frowning.
Feng: "My Lord, what difficult situation have you encountered?"
Duke Qin told what happened just now, frowned and said:
"Tomorrow, I will have to give Hangzhi a lecture. How can this be allowed? He was the one who insisted on marrying Shen Ruoying in the first place. Why is he obsessed with Gu Qingning now?"
Feng: "Gu Qingning is really a beauty who brings disaster upon herself. She caused discord among the brothers!"
Duke Qin stared.
Feng quickly changed the subject, "But speaking of it, it's more that Shen Ruoying who should be blamed. If she hadn't caused trouble, how could Hangzhi be disappointed in her?"
In short, it is definitely not her son Hangzhi’s fault, it is all the fault of those two women!
Duke Qin did not glare at him this time. After all, he also thought that Shen was restless.
But at the moment, the daughter of the Shen family is able to enter the palace to be a concubine, but it is still unknown whether she will be favored, so we cannot do anything too extreme.
Feng looked at his expression and softened her voice:
"No matter what, Hangzhi was wrong in this matter, Duke. Why don't you not talk about him for now? I will talk to him in private and ask him to be more careful in the future."
"After all, it would not look good if this matter became a big deal. Hangzhi just finished his exams. If he becomes the top scorer in the high school, he cannot leave this stain behind."
Duke Qin was convinced and nodded.
"You should also give Shen a warning. If she continues to make trouble, even if she is protected by the Guangping Marquisate, our Duke's Mansion will no longer recognize her as our daughter-in-law!"
"That's right!"
In fact, Feng was also dissatisfied with Shen Ruoying. She was waiting for her son to become the top scholar in the imperial examination so that she could find a docile, virtuous and capable wife for her son.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Feng called her own son Lu Hangzhi over.
"Hangzhi, stay away from Gu Qingning from now on, and don't look at her too much, remember?"
Lu Hang was stunned, "Mother, why do you suddenly say that?"
Feng: "Don't ask so many questions. Gu Qingning is your sister-in-law now. You must never cross the line in the future."
"As for Chen Ruoying, wait and see what happens to her sister. If her sister can enter the palace and gain favor, that's fine. If not, I'll help you choose another good girl to be your legal wife, better than Chen Ruoying and Gu Qingning!"
"Hangzhi, you are my only son. You want to be the top scholar and a high-ranking official in the future. You must not let me down over such a small matter."
Looking at his mother with tears in her eyes, Lu Hangzhi had to swallow all the words of explanation and nodded.
"Don't worry, mother. I will be more careful in the future."
Feng nodded with relief, "That's right. However, you should also remind Shen Ruoying later that she was the one who brought the sachet from Gu Qingning not long ago. She even questioned why Gu Qingning gave you the sachet. It was I who reacted quickly and suppressed the matter."
Lu Hangzhi didn't hear clearly what his mother said, only two words echoed in his mind: "sachet".
He finally understood why his father suddenly became angry with him, and his mother came to remind him.
Turns out it was because of the sachet!
Lu Hangzhi returned to Cuiwei Pavilion, and seeing Shen Ruoying coming towards him, he could no longer hold back.
"You took the sachet?"
The smile on Shen Ruoying's face faded, "Hangzhi, what sachet are you talking about? Oh, do you want me to embroider one for you?"
Lu Hangzhi: "Chen Ruoying, I'm talking about the sachet I was wearing before! I clearly asked you, but you said you didn't know, and then you turned around and took the sachet to your mother and Qing Ning?"
The smile on Shen Ruoying's face could no longer be maintained, and she looked at Lu Hangzhi angrily.
"You call her Qingning, and call me by my full name? Lu Hangzhi, have you forgotten that I am your legal wife now! She, Gu Qingning, has already married the young master and is now your sister-in-law!"
"But the reason why it became like this is all because of you!"
After Lu Hangzhi said this, both of them were stunned.
He felt a little regretful, but didn't know how to express it.
And Shen Ruoying's eyes were red, and she was shaking with anger.
"Lu Hangzhi, you regret having your marriage changed, don't you?"
Lu Hangzhi gritted his teeth, his mind in turmoil, and muttered, "This is simply unreasonable!"
He left this sentence behind and turned to the front yard.
Shen Ruoying was so angry that she wanted to chase him out, but Aunt Li next to her immediately reached out to stop her:
"Miss, calm down, you have finally managed to ease the relationship with the Second Young Master, if you continue to argue, I am afraid there will be no way to end it!"
"But you also saw what Lu Hangzhi said just now?"
Shen Ruoying was so angry that she was shaking all over, tears falling down, "I should obviously be the young master's wife, I haven't regretted it yet, how dare he regret it?"
Aunt Li helped her sit down and comforted her:
"Miss, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Just think about it, if the Second Young Master passes the imperial examination and Miss Yanran becomes a favorite concubine in the harem, you will definitely go further than Gu Qingning in the future!"
"So, just be patient with everything that is going on right now. A little impatience can ruin a big plan."
Shen Ruoying finally listened to Aunt Li's words and gradually calmed down.
She gnashed her teeth and said, "You're right. I can't turn back now. The key is to secure my position as the legal wife and give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible! Aunt Li, go find a reliable gynecologist tomorrow and take good care of yourself for me."
Having suffered a miscarriage before, Shen Ruoying’s body has never fully recovered.
Her current situation is unstable, so it is most important for her to give birth to a legitimate eldest son as soon as possible.
Aunt Li nodded and said, "I will go find her tomorrow."
Shen Ruoying leaned on the chaise longue, a cold light flashed in her eyes, “But, I am unwilling to let Gu Qingning go just like this!”
After hearing this, Aunt Li's eyes turned and she said, "Miss, you don't have to worry about this matter. Someone will take care of Gu Qingning soon."
"What?"
