Chapter 44 Gu Qingning is having an affair?
The man who came in was called Lu Xunye. He was the son of Duke Qin’s cousin and the fifth child in the Lu family.
Although he is handsome, he is a well-known playboy in the capital.
He has not yet married a wife, but he already has five concubines in the family.
Although he loved eating, drinking and having fun and had never made any big mistakes, the Lu family did not have many male descendants, so Duke Qin turned a blind eye to his nephew.
Lu Xunye's mother, Chen, had a very good relationship with the Duke's wife, Feng, and they were cousins.
So after hearing Feng's crying complaints that her housekeeper power was about to be taken away by her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen decided to help Feng.
What Chen said to her son was: Just close the door and create the fact that a single man and a single woman are in the same room. This will tarnish Gu Qingning's reputation, but it won't make a big deal out of it.
After all, it's New Year's Day today, so it's the Lu family's business to close the door.
Since I didn't really do anything, it would be easier to explain to Duke Qin.
But Lu Xunye had different ideas.
He had known for a long time that Gu Qingning was very beautiful, but he didn't dare to have any thoughts about her before because she was engaged to his second cousin Lu Hangzhi.
Who could have thought that the second cousin would turn around and marry Shen Ruoying, while Gu Qingning would suddenly turn around and marry the deceased eldest cousin and become a widow?
Now that such a good opportunity to get close to her is right in front of him, how could he let it go?
Anyway, when other people rush in later, he will push everything onto Gu Qingning, saying that she, a widow, couldn't stand the loneliness and seduced him.
He is innocent.
Thinking of this, Lu Xunye's eyes lit up. He walked slowly inside while tearing off his clothes.
The maid who was locked outside the door by Lu Xunye rolled her eyes and immediately turned out to look for someone.
Soon Feng, Shen Ruoying, and the Lu family's relatives all arrived.
Lu Hangzhi looked at this group of people, puzzled, "Mother, what's going on?"
Feng's eyes were filled with pride, but her face revealed an extremely angry expression, "It's a misfortune for our family, it's really a misfortune for our family! They said Qing Ning and Xun Ye were in there..."
She couldn't go on.
Lu Xunye's mother, Chen, was also shocked and said, "How is it possible? Although my Xunye likes to play around, the eldest young lady is his cousin. He would never do such a shameful thing!"
Someone else also said, "Could it be that Gu Qingning, a widow, can't stand the loneliness? After all, the Fifth Young Master is very handsome..."
Lu Hangzhi's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. He turned his head angrily and glared at the speaker, "Stop talking nonsense!"
The man was embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything.
After all, the young master was gone, and Lu Hangzhi was the next heir to the Duke's Mansion. They dared to play tricks on Qing Ning, but they didn't dare to say anything to Lu Hangzhi.
But Shen Ruoying was watching the show, gloating, but when she saw Lu Hangzhi getting angry, her face suddenly darkened.
"Hangzhi, how can you speak to your aunt like this?"
Lu Hangzhi wanted to say more, but seeing Shen Ruoying's expression, he softened his tone, "The person inside may not be the sister-in-law."
The maid from before: "But I saw with my own eyes that the eldest young lady went in, and then the fifth young master's clothes were wet, and he wanted to find a place to change clothes, but he didn't come out."
Lu Hangzhi glared, "You just stood there and watched? Don't you know how to stop them?"
The little maid cried, "They are the masters, and I dare not stop them."
Shen Ruoying patted Lu Hangzhi's arm and spoke like a peacemaker:
"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. Let's ask Butler Lu to open the door and see who is inside. Then the truth will be revealed, right?"
"That's right, Butler Lu, please open the door quickly so that everyone can see who is throwing dirty water on me."
Gu Qingning walked out, with Banxia and Mo Yu standing on her left and right.
Everyone subconsciously gave way.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Feng: "Qing Ning, aren't you in there?"
Gu Qingning: "Mother, who told you I was in there? He said that, just like he was trying to humiliate our family!"
The maid's face turned pale immediately and she knelt on the ground.
Even Chen felt embarrassed.
Only Lu Hangzhi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately kicked the maid to the ground.
"You are a traitor. Who told you to slander the eldest young master's wife? Come on, sell this maid to the lowest place!"
The maid was dumbfounded, and she immediately looked at Feng.
Feng turned her head away.
Gu Qingning: "Wait a minute, a maid wouldn't dare to slander me like this, there must be someone behind her instigating her. Open the door first and see what's going on inside."
Lu Yun walked forward and opened the door, from inside came a man's blushing and heart-pounding growl.
When the screen was pushed down, Lu Xunye was seen alone, hugging the quilt, his clothes were disheveled, his cheeks were red, and he looked unbearable to look at...
Chen immediately rushed forward and slapped her son on both sides, "Aye, what are you doing?"
Feng's face was grim, but Gu Qingning looked at the maid, "Who told you to say that I was inside?"
Maid: "Yes, I was mistaken."
Gu Qingning: "Say it again, did you see it wrong, or someone instructed you to do so? Think it over before you speak. For slandering a third-rank imperial lady, your life alone is not enough to pay for it. You have to pay for it with the lives of your entire family!"
The maid's face turned pale immediately. She was about to speak while crying, but Feng, who was standing next to her, slapped her in the face.
"That little bitch is trying to destroy our Duke's Mansion! Come, beat her whole family to death!"
"Ma'am... woooooooo!"
Lu Yun immediately stepped forward and took people to drag the maid away.
Chen's crying and Lu Xunye's struggling could still be heard from inside the house. Feng raised her head, looked at Gu Qingning awkwardly, and said earnestly:
"Qing Ning, today is New Year's Day, don't dwell on it anymore. Luckily nothing happened to you, and the Duke will be back soon, don't make him unhappy."
Gu Qingning looked at Feng, who looked guilty, and asked, "Does mother want something to happen to me?"
Feng: "No, no, no, it's all a misunderstanding. It's all the fault of the maid. Why would mother want you to get into trouble?"
Gu Qingning: "That maid certainly did something wrong, but there were a few people who were trying to take advantage of her misfortune. I remember everything."
Her eyes swept sharply over the others.
Those people subconsciously took half a step back.
Lu Hangzhi said, "Sister-in-law, luckily nothing happened. Don't keep caring about it. Today is New Year's Day. Don't be unhappy."
Gu Qingning looked at him, "Thank you, Second Young Master, for trusting me and knowing that I am not someone who is restless."
Lu Hangzhi's eyes softened.
How long has it been since Qing Ning spoke to me in such a nice way?
But the next moment, his arm was pinched by Shen Ruoying, and Shen Ruoying's voice came from beside him.
"Hangzhi, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Can you accompany me back to rest?"
"good."
The crowd finally dispersed.
Gu Qingning returned to Songtaoyuan, and Chen Fenfang hurried to greet her after hearing the news.
"Ma'am, what's going on?"
