Chapter 171 Qing Ning, are you jealous?
Lu Jingyu: “…”
Looking at his wife's eyes shining and her seemingly peaceful expression, he suddenly thought that he should confess everything in time.
So as to avoid a rift between the couple.
So, he told the whole story about how he met Nalan Zhu'er, and how the other party whipped the Sixth Prince but hit him instead, and then how Nalan Zhu'er said she wanted to marry him.
No matter how small the matter is.
Lu Jingyu: "She threatened to marry me, she must want to kill me to avenge her soldiers who died in Southern Xinjiang."
Gu Qingning: "Oh."
Seeing her calm expression, Lu Jingyu looked over curiously, "Qing Ning, are you jealous?"
Gu Qingning did feel a little uncomfortable, after all, another woman threatened to force her husband to divorce her and marry someone else.
But on the one hand, Gu Qingning knew that Lu Jingyu didn't have that intention, so she was very confident in him.
Secondly, she must always stay sober and rational, and not let her emotions affect herself excessively, so as not to make wrong judgments.
Gu Qingning said softly: "Jing Yu, I believe you. I asked a few more questions because I am worried that something might happen to you that would be bad for you."
Lu Jingyu: “Really?”
Gu Qingning: "Really."
The couple talked about what happened during the day, and when it was late at night, Lu Jingyu suggested going back to the front yard to rest.
Gu Qingning thought he was busy with government affairs and didn't say much.
After Lu Jingyu left, Granny Liao helped Gu Qingning comb her hair. She looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Gu Qingning: "Granny Liao, just say whatever you want to say."
Granny Liao: "When I left just now, the young master didn't look very well. I heard from Chuan Gu, who serves in the front yard, that every time the young master rests in the front yard, he has to take a cold shower."
Gu Qingning looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes paused, and then relaxed.
"I have suggested to him to take a concubine before, but he refused."
"My lady, you still can't see that the young master only cares about you! And tonight, he told you about the Princess of Southern Xinjiang, probably to make you jealous."
Gu Qingning was stunned, "You want me to be jealous?"
Granny Liao nodded. "Although there were some misunderstandings about your marriage to the young master, he has always treated you sincerely since he came back. Now that you have children, he has also tried his best to give you the honors you can get as a woman. It seems that he truly respects and cares about you."
Gu Qingning recalled everything that had happened in the past two years.
It is undeniable that Lu Jingyu is really good to her.
Apart from anything else, he had specifically gone to His Majesty to ask for the title of Princess for her, which was not something an ordinary man would be willing to do.
An ordinary man, if he is good to his wife, will only want to tie her down to the same path as himself.
Not like Lu Jingyu.
Whether it was supporting her to open a clinic, develop private property, or ask for a title for herself, it was all for her own good!
At the same time, Lu Jingyu, who had just taken a shower, was soaking his feet.
Kawatani was waiting beside him with a kettle, "Master, is the water cold? Do you want some more hot water?"
Lu Jingyu frowned, and the expression on his handsome face was very serious.
He asked, "Chuan Gu, why don't you think the lady is jealous?"
Chuan Gu, who was carrying a kettle, asked, "Ah? Master, are you saying that the Princess of Nanjiang wants to marry you? Isn't the Madam jealous after hearing this?"
Lu Jingyu: "When I told her that, she was just a little surprised, but she didn't show any jealousy."
He felt a little lost at that time.
Look at Cuiwei Pavilion next door, a few women are jealous and fighting openly and secretly all day long, putting in a lot of effort.
After all, it’s because they all care about Hangzhi.
Although he didn't want to admit it, at this moment, Lu Jingyu felt a little envious of this adopted brother.
Kawatani: "Maybe the lady understands your personality and trusts you very much, so she is not jealous? Master, this proves that the lady cares about you and trusts you wholeheartedly."
Lu Jingyu's eyes lit up, "Go on."
Kawatani was sure that he was talking in the right direction, and he immediately started talking nonstop.
"Master, you are wise and brave. You never indulge in love affairs, and you will not allow women with ulterior motives outside to take advantage of you."
"Madam is of the same mind as you. She is also a kind-hearted person. Naturally, she knows that even if the Princess of Southern Xinjiang wants to marry you, you will definitely not marry her."
"You only have the lady in your heart, and the lady only has you in her heart."
"That's why our Songtao Pavilion is always like this, full of joy and harmony. Whether it's the master or the servants, they are in perfect harmony every day. It's nothing like Cuiwei Pavilion. So many things have happened in the past two years."
Chuan Gu spoke eloquently and said a lot, but Lu Jingyu only heard one sentence: You are the only one in the lady's heart.
The corners of his mouth slowly lifted up, and he felt extremely happy.
"Chuan Gu, I'll give you ten taels of silver. Go to Aunt Chen to collect it tomorrow."
Kawatani held the kettle and smiled brightly, showing his big white teeth, "Thank you, Master!"
Although he took a cold shower and spent another night alone in an empty room, after a night's sleep, Lu Jingyu was in a very good mood when he went to the yamen to report for duty the next day.
He smiled at his younger brother Lu Hangzhi who was passing by and even suggested that they take a carriage together to go on duty.
But Lu Hangzhi was shocked.
He nodded timidly, and then walked all the way in fear, wondering if he had made any mistake recently.
"Hangzhi, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?" Lu Jingyu took the initiative to show concern for his useless younger brother.
Lu Hangzhi almost jumped off the carriage out of nervousness.
He laughed dryly, "It's okay, but, maybe I was worried about Ruoying last night and didn't get enough rest."
Lu Jingyu: "She is your legal wife, you really have to treat her better."
Faced with his brother's sudden concern, Lu Hangzhi became even more anxious.
What does it mean when brother says this?
Could it be that brother is still thinking about Ruoying?
Once he had this thought, Lu Hangzhi suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Now Ruoying is his wife and has his child, how can her brother still miss her?
Besides, if my brother still cares about Ruoying, then where does he put Qingning?
Thinking of this, Lu Hangzhi looked at his brother with some resentment, as if he was looking at a scumbag.
Lu Jingyu had no idea that his adopted brother had already started to have wild thoughts.
However, he was thinking in his heart that the position of inheriting the title of Duke should have belonged to Hangzhi.
As long as the couple behave themselves and don't cause any trouble in the future, he will return the position to Hangzhi.
As for himself, he had no intention of getting involved in the disputes of the royal family. In the future, he could set up his own business and live with Qing Ning.
Songtao Pavilion.
After a night of reflection, Gu Qingning also felt that she might have been a little cold towards Lu Jingyu.
They are now husband and wife, and he treats her so well, she should care about him more.
So Gu Qingning called Chuan Gu early in the morning and asked how the young master felt today.
Kawatani: "The master is so happy today!"
Gu Qingning frowned, "Very happy?"
