Chapter 80 How can you be so reckless?
When Lu Jingyu came back, he saw that the candles had been extinguished, and he felt a little regretful.
Come back so late, don’t wake up Gu Qingning.
But now that everyone is back, it wouldn’t be good to go out again.
Lu Jingyu tried his best to make his movements as light as possible, without any sound. He took off his outer robe and lay down with his clothes on.
The person next to him began to breathe steadily, and Lu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn't wake her.
In fact, his mood has been disrupted by Wei Kang's incident tonight, and he will not do anything else.
But for some reason, he felt at peace while lying next to Gu Qingning.
In fact, whether they are in the same room or not, he is really not in a hurry.
As long as she doesn't misunderstand it or let others look down on her...
Suddenly, the person who was sleeping next to him turned over, and his fair little hand was placed on Lu Jingyu's waist.
Lu Jingyu's whole body tensed up immediately.
Gu Qingning felt that the other person's waist suddenly became harder than stone.
In fact, she had not slept the whole time, just waiting for the young master to come back, thinking that if he wanted to consummate the marriage, then she would go along with it.
If she had the young master's child, then her position in the Duke's Mansion would be completely secure.
She also didn't dislike the young master.
So, when the person came back, Gu Qingning took the initiative and stretched out her hand, but when she felt the hardness that felt like stone, she felt a little confused.
The next moment, Gu Qingning was even more confused.
Because Lu Jingyu actually pushed her hand away, suddenly got up from the bed, put on his clothes and left.
Gone?
Gu Qingning's face changed.
Could it be that she misunderstood just now?
As Lu Jingyu was walking out with his clothes on, he met the night guard on the way and almost scared the boy to death.
"Young Master, why is it you? I thought it was a thief!"
Lu Jingyu's handsome face darkened, "Go and ask someone to send the bath water to the front yard."
The servant said: "Yes, I will ask someone to boil some water right away."
Lu Jingyu: "No need for hot ones, cold ones will do."
Servants: “…Yes.”
After taking a cold shower, Lu Jingyu calmed down a little, and he frowned fiercely.
He has always had good self-control, so why was it that when the other person was just sleeping and put his hand over him, he actually wanted to pin the person down and kiss him hard at that moment?
If that happened, Gu Qingning would definitely be scared to tears!
Lu Jingyu drank another pot of herbal tea and finally calmed down.
Forget it, I'll just continue looking at the official correspondence and think about how to find the big fish behind the scenes!
Although Gu Qingning didn't understand Lu Jingyu's behavior, she didn't suffer from insomnia and fell asleep after a while.
If she misunderstood, she misunderstood. Anyway, she could just pretend that she was asleep and knew nothing.
The next morning, the servants said that the young master had gone out because of something, and Gu Qingning didn't think much about it.
Because Liao Qi brought in a letter.
"What, the night watchman died?"
Granny Liao nodded grimly, "Three years after the Lin family's accident, the night watchman died of an acute illness. Not long after that, Wang Weishan's family moved to Jiangnan. I've asked Ah Qi to find someone to go to Jiangnan to investigate."
Gu Qingning: "We can't put all our hopes on Wang Weishan. Maybe everyone who handled this case should be investigated. But we need to keep a low profile when investigating those people. I just want to know that their recent situation is abnormal."
"yes."
Although Gu Qingning did not give up, she was still affected by the news.
When Lu Jingyu came back in the afternoon, he saw that she looked a little lonely.
Lu Jingyu: "Is there trouble at Cuiwei Pavilion again?"
Gu Qingning shook her head. "It was quiet over there all day, and Aunt Li went back to deliver the letter, but no one came from Guangping Marquis's Mansion."
Lu Jingyu: "What Shen Ruoying did must have been instructed by them. They are not taking action now. They are probably just waiting and watching, waiting for the Third Prince to marry Shen Yan, and then they will start to attack the Duke's Mansion."
Gu Qingning was shocked: "Is the Third Prince's wife really not doing well?"
Lu Jingyu: "It is said that he is seriously ill and can no longer see anyone, but the Third Prince suppressed the matter and did not send any news to the Chen family in Mobei."
Gu Qingning recalled the scene when she saw the third prince in the palace that day, and her face was filled with disgust.
"The Third Prince is obviously a hypocritical person who only cares about beauty. The Third Prince's wife is obviously the daughter of a general. They must have been plotting against her!"
Lu Jingyu: "Have you met the Third Prince?"
Gu Qingning nodded and without hiding anything, told the whole story of how Concubine Su met the Third Prince at the Hongmen Banquet.
"Fortunately, Princess Jiamin came to my rescue."
After saying this, Gu Qingning fell silent again.
I guess the little peacock won’t help her out next time?
Lu Jingyu narrowed his eyes, his eyes were cold, "Looking at the Third Prince's appearance, he will never be able to become the Crown Prince in this life."
Gu Qingning widened her beautiful eyes.
Is this a secret she can hear?
However, Gu Qingning didn't want to think too much about whether the third prince could become the crown prince. After all, that was not something she could consider.
Gu Qingning sighed, "It's just a pity for the Third Prince's wife."
Lu Jingyu: "The Chen family cannot move for the time being. After all, they still have to resist the Mobei army. But your majesty will not watch the third prince's wife die."
Gu Qingning felt relieved when she heard that.
Since His Majesty already knows everything, he must not hurt the hearts of loyal ministers. The Third Prince's behavior, to some extent, has made His Majesty even more disappointed.
Gu Qingning thought about the current princes and couldn't help but sigh again.
She felt sad for His Majesty. None of his sons lived up to his expectations. He probably didn't know who to pass the throne to.
Seeing Gu Qingning frowning slightly, Lu Jingyu couldn't help but reach out to help her smooth out her frown.
In fact, he did so.
But at the moment when their fingertips touched their eyebrows, both of them were stunned and looked at each other.
"Young Master?"
"Since it's not because of Cuiwei Pavilion, then what are you unhappy about?"
Gu Qingning's eyebrows twitched, and she looked at Lu Jingyu and calmly withdrew his hand.
You can't say it was because of the incident between the night watchman and Wang Weishan.
Gu Qingning's eyes flashed with sadness, "Young Master, do you dislike me?"
"I don't dislike you, who said that?"
Gu Qingning: "You didn't come back last night, so I thought you were disgusted with me."
Lu Jingyu had a hard time expressing his grievances. How could he directly tell her that he actually wanted to go to the bridal chamber while she was asleep last night?
He was almost a little ashamed of himself. How could he be so reckless!
Lu Jingyu: "I don't dislike you, I'm just busy too late, I thought you must be asleep, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"So are you going to rest in the backyard tonight?"
"Um."
Gu Qingning breathed a sigh of relief. What happened last night should be over.
She became happy, and her features became lively. "Young Master, I have sewn the sachet you mentioned last time. Can I help you put it on?"
"good."
The sachet has an ordinary bamboo leaf pattern, but it has a faint medicinal fragrance.
Gu Qingning: "You are usually too busy with official duties, so I put some spiritual nourishing spices in this sachet. Oh, and the knee pads will be available later."
"Well, I'm going to the study first."
When Lu Jingyu turned around and walked out, his steps were much lighter than usual.
The sachet would bump into her clothes from time to time, becoming faintly visible.
His good mood came to an abrupt end when he saw his disappointing younger brother.
Lu Hangzhi looked extremely depressed and pitiful. He said in a calm voice:
"Brother, can we two brothers go have a drink?"
