Chapter 85 Isn’t it inappropriate for the younger uncle to be with the older sister-in-law?
Gu Qingning felt a little sleepy and her legs were sore, but she still had to force herself to explain things to Butler Lu.
After all, it's after the fifteenth, and some matters concerning the Duke's Mansion have to be explained.
She is now officially in charge of the household chores, so naturally she cannot be negligent.
However, what puzzled Gu Qingning was that although Butler Lu was talking to her, he subconsciously looked at Mo Yu who was squatting on a tree not far away.
Butler Lu really cares too much about Mo Yu.
For some reason, Gu Qingning always subconsciously cares about this matter.
Although Chen Fenfang had said before that she had informed the young master and had someone investigate, Steward Lu had no connection with Mo Yu.
At this moment, an indigo figure suddenly flashed before Gu Qingning's eyes.
Looking up, she saw Lu Hangyi walking towards her with a depressed look on his face.
Lu Hangzhi: "Butler Lu, please leave first. I have something to tell my sister-in-law."
Lu Yun looked at Gu Qingning, then bowed and retreated.
But before he left, he glanced at Mo Yu on the tree branch inconspicuously.
Gu Qingning withdrew her gaze and smelled a familiar medicinal scent when Lu Hangzhi approached.
She frowned and looked at Lu Hangzhi, "Second Young Master, is there anything wrong?"
Lu Hangzhi didn't utter the words that were about to come out of his mouth, but said:
"My father asked me to live in the academy for the next month so that I can concentrate on my studies. But since there is no mistress in charge of Cuiwei Pavilion now, could you help me make some arrangements and pack my bags?"
Gu Qingning frowned, "I remember Biyue should be able to do such a small thing. After all, she used to be the head maid beside my mother."
Lu Hangzhi: "But I just want you to help me clean up."
Gu Qingning couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Lu Hangzhi with disdain:
"Second Young Master, now you are the younger uncle and I am the older sister-in-law. Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Besides, you're just going to the academy to study for a month. You're not not coming back. Those things won't be difficult to pack."
"If you don't believe Bi Yue, then let Butler Lu take care of it for you."
She was in charge of the Duke's Mansion's household expenses, but that did not include the food, clothing, housing and transportation of her married brother-in-law!
Gu Qingning yawned lazily. She was too busy last night and didn't get enough sleep.
His eyes were misty and filled with water vapor.
Only then did Lu Hangzhi realize that she seemed even more beautiful and charming than before. She was dignified and elegant before, but now her every smile and frown added a different kind of charm.
But that kind of style is so grand that people can't help but take a few more glances.
So, is it because she has already consummated her marriage with the eldest brother?
Lu Hangzhi could no longer be rational.
"Gu Qingning, have you ever really liked me before?"
Gu Qingning looked at Lu Hangzhi in surprise.
It's already this hour, why would he ask such a stupid question?
Looking at the other person, his eyes were wandering, there were dark shadows under his eyes, his face was pale, and his lips were blue.
Gu Qingning understood.
He is not living a good life himself, so he can't bear to see others living a good life.
If I still can't love him, maybe it will make him feel better?
Gu Qingning shook her head and said, "Second Young Master, the current situation is actually your choice, so let's not talk about the past anymore."
"If you bring it up again, I, as your sister-in-law, will have no choice but to let Jing Yu come forward if I want to avoid suspicion."
Lu Hangzhi shook himself. "You call me the Second Young Master, but you call me Big Brother Jingyu?"
Gu Qingning: "This was also your original choice, wasn't it? It's getting late, someone, send the Second Young Master to the academy."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Lu Hangzhi watched her slowly walk away, and suddenly laughed at himself:
"I understand. Now that you are with Big Brother and have become the real wife of a young master, you no longer care about me, right?"
"Gu Qingning, just wait, I will definitely pass the exam and come out on top!"
Gu Qingning was supported by Banxia and walked away.
Banxia murmured softly: "Why does it feel like the Second Young Master is becoming more and more abnormal? How did you become the wife of the Young Master? Doesn't he have any idea in his mind?"
"Besides, whether he passes the exam or not has nothing to do with you, right? I don't know what he is so excited about."
Gu Qingning: "Don't pay attention to him."
The more Lu Hangzhi did this, the more it proved that he regretted it.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world. You have to walk on the path you have chosen even if you have to kneel.
Gu Qingning had no feelings for him in the first place, and now she won't think too much about it. If she has the time, she might as well look at the account book.
The general affairs of the Duke's Mansion are very huge. Fortunately, Gu Qingning had followed Feng before and already knew most of it.
It's very easy to get started.
At this time, Cuiwei Pavilion, which was once the most lively place, has become the loneliest courtyard in the entire Duke's Mansion.
Now that the man had left, Biyue and Linlang naturally had no more energy to fight.
When the news reached Shen Ruoying who was in solitary confinement, Shen Ruoying was relieved.
"It's better for Hangzhi to go to the academy now. It's better than having those two bitches by his side all the time."
Whether it was Biyue or Linlang, Shen Ruoying didn't take them seriously, they were just toys.
She wouldn't let the illegitimate child be born.
Shen Ruoying was indeed hysterical when she was first put in solitary confinement, but then Aunt Li brought back news from the Marquis' Mansion.
Parents asked Shen Ruoying to be patient for the time being, and after Yanran became the third prince's consort, they could put pressure on the Duke's Mansion.
Completely restore Shen Ruoying's freedom, and let the Duke's Mansion forgive Shen Ruoying for her past mistakes.
You can even use this opportunity to gain some management rights.
All she had to do now was keep calm.
Shen Ruoying leaned back on the soft pillow, "Is there anything else going on in the mansion?"
Aunt Li nodded, "The eldest young master's wife has officially started to take charge of the household affairs. And..."
Shen Ruoying: “And what?”
Aunt Li: "I heard from Songtao Pavilion that the young master and the eldest young lady have consummated their marriage."
Shen Ruoying sat up straight suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise, as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets.
"How is it possible? The young master has never been interested in women, and Gu Qingning was Hangzhi's fiancée before. How could the young master be willing to touch her..."
Shen Ruoying suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and said angrily:
"Gu Qingning is an orphan girl who has brought bad luck to her parents. Why is she so lucky? Why?"
The reaction of other people in the mansion to the news that Gu Qingning and Lu Jingyu consummated their marriage was quite strong.
But the couple still had dinner together very calmly.
Although Gu Qingning really wanted to give birth to the other party's child, there was no rush and she also had to take care of her own body.
As a military general and the god of war of the Great Chu, Lu Jingyu's health is really too good.
Before he even used any strength, Gu Qingning was worried that her waist would be broken.
Especially after being stimulated by the question "Do you have any hidden illness?", he probably performed beyond his normal level.
I really didn't realize it was his first time.
Because Lu Jingyu still doesn’t have a concubine.
As a stepmother, Feng once mentioned in front of Duke Qin that she wanted to arrange a concubine for him, but Lu Jingyu refused and she never mentioned it again.
Anyway, Feng also hopes that Lu Jingyu will not have any descendants.
Gu Qingning was considering how to start the conversation and wanted to persuade Lu Jingyu to go to the front yard to rest, but Lu Jingyu spoke first.
"Qing Ning, it will be dark soon, come with me to a place."
Gu Qingning: “???”
