Chapter 168 Want to make love again?
Feng was in a bad mood.
Since the culprit, Shen Ruoying, did not come back, all her anger fell on Gu Qingning.
Although Gu Qingning knew that Feng would not dare to poison her, she still thought it was better to be safe than sorry.
Not to mention, if she remembered correctly, her subordinates said that during this period, Feng asked Aunt Yue to mix chronic poison into Shen Ruoying's food.
Gu Qingning said calmly, "Mom, there was such a mess at home today. I am in a bad mood and can't eat."
Feng choked.
She actually didn't have much of an appetite. Since she woke up, she couldn't eat anything except half a bowl of calming soup.
I couldn't refute Gu Qingning's words.
When did I get to the point where I couldn't even gain any verbal advantage in front of my eldest daughter-in-law?
Just at this time, Biyun came in from outside with Shen Ruoying.
Feng's attention was instantly diverted from Gu Qingning.
Not only that, Feng Yuaner, who had been leaning against Feng Shi with red eyes from crying, also looked at Shen Ruoying with resentment.
Gu Qingning's eyes were calm, and she watched them fight each other calmly and calmly.
As expected, Feng started to make trouble.
"Shen, kneel down!"
Shen Ruoying paused, bit her lips lightly, and then slowly knelt down.
"My daughter-in-law is just in a bad mood. She wants to go out and relax. She will stay in the country farm for a while and then come back. I never thought that Hangzhi would come to look for me, causing the Duke's Mansion to lose face today."
"Although it was an unintentional mistake, it was ultimately caused by me."
"Please mother admonish and punish me!"
Feng: “…”
She had said everything she could, what else could she say?
How come all of them are so eloquent and eloquent?
If it were usual, Feng might have stopped doing it.
But today, no matter what, she had to vent her anger for her niece.
Feng snorted coldly, "Since you know you deserve to be punished, then go to the ancestral hall and kneel down immediately. You are not allowed to eat or drink, and you can only come out tomorrow morning!"
Shen Ruoying said obediently: “Yes.”
Gu Qingning was a little surprised. She didn't expect Shen Ruoying to not resist at all?
You have to know that today is the first day that the concubine is married into the family, and she, the legal wife, is punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.
It was a complete slap in her face.
Seeing Chen Ruoying resigned herself to following Biyun out, both Feng and Feng Yuaner showed happy expressions on their faces.
But Gu Qingning always felt something was wrong.
Does Shen Ruoying hope that Lu Hangzhi will go to the ancestral hall and take her away?
No, this would make Feng hate her even more.
Gu Qingning watched Shen Ruoying walk away slowly with half-closed eyes. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and understood Shen Ruoying's original plan.
Chen Ruoying originally planned to "give birth to a child through surrogacy". Now that she is back, the plan of "giving birth to a legitimate son" is probably still going on.
Gu Qingning chuckled.
Looks like there's some fun to be had.
She looked at the aunt and niece who were talking privately since Shen Ruoying left, and bowed, "Mother, please talk to Yuan'er. I'm tired, so I'll leave first."
Feng felt it was a bit of a pity.
She also wanted Gu Qingning to kneel in the ancestral hall.
But firstly, there was no reason, secondly, the other party was pregnant, and most importantly... she was worried that Lu Jingyu would cause trouble for her.
In the end, I just decided to out of sight and out of mind.
"Okay, go back and rest!" Feng waved her hands irritably.
Gu Qingning nodded slightly, turned and walked out.
At this time, Lu Jingyu was the only one standing in the pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw Gu Qingning, and immediately strode over.
The other person was tall and had long legs. In just a few breaths, he arrived in front of Gu Qingning.
Lu Jingyu: "Did your mother give you a hard time?"
Gu Qingning shook her head, "No. However, she asked Shen Ruoying to kneel in the ancestral hall."
Lu Jingyu: "Hangzhi was here just now, but he has already chased to the ancestral hall. He tried to persuade Shen Ruoying not to kneel, but Shen Ruoying was very persistent."
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "She needs a scene to turn the tables and slap her mother in the face."
Lu Jingyu frowned.
He didn't quite understand these women and why they were so calculating.
Fortunately, this matter would not affect his Qing Ning. It was Cuiwei Pavilion's business, so he ignored it.
The couple went back to the inner room of Songtao Pavilion together.
Lu Jingyu said calmly: "It has been confirmed that Concubine Rou is my biological mother."
With Lu Jingyu's skills and Gu Qingning's special needle, it would be very easy to obtain Concubine Rou's blood.
But he did not take any action until yesterday, when he performed the blood test to identify his relatives.
Although Lu Jingyu did not explain, Gu Qingning also understood that it was somewhat a feeling of "homesickness".
Gu Qingning held his hand and said, "This way, you won't have to blame yourself for the early death of the former Duke's wife."
He is not even the biological child of the former Duke's wife, Mrs. Su!
But Su Shi was also pitiful. She didn't even know that she actually gave birth to a daughter, and such an unpromising daughter...
Gu Qingning suddenly started, and she reached out and held Lu Jingyu's hand.
"Jing Yu, do you think the former Duke's wife knew that her child was replaced?"
"If she knew, would she agree?"
If she disagrees, how will the mother, who has just given birth, feel when she cannot change the fact?
Lu Jingyu understood immediately, "You mean, there might be some hidden reason behind her early death?"
Gu Qingning: "If it was someone else, I'm not sure. But Concubine Su is so cruel and ruthless. Even if the other party is her cousin, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Lu Jingyu fell silent. "Since I was a child, I have blamed myself for causing my mother's early death. Because of this incident, my father taught me strictly but did not show any father-son affection. I accepted it all."
But now we tell him that the tragedy might have been planned by Concubine Su?
There was ruthlessness in Lu Jingyu's eyes.
Gu Qingning: "We still need to keep an eye on Kaifu Temple. But the most important thing right now is the arrival of the envoys from Southern Xinjiang."
If Imperial Concubine Su really had collusion with Southern Xinjiang, then the crime of treason, coupled with everything Imperial Concubine Su had done before, would be enough to completely crush her and the Third Prince!
Lu Jingyu nodded.
Both husband and wife are patient people. After reviewing some things over and over again, everything was just like usual.
In fact, Gu Qingning admired Lu Jingyu even more, because he could remain so calm and composed even after knowing that he was a prince.
While eating, Lu Jingyu noticed that his wife had been looking at him, and he raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Qingning's lips curved slightly, "My husband's mood seems to be very stable."
Lu Jingyu: "Is this also an advantage? In fact, no matter what the matter is, being anxious will not solve the problem. The only way is to proceed step by step and stay calm."
Gu Qingning nodded and picked up a piece of meat for him with the serving chopsticks, "My husband is right!"
Lu Jingyu felt that her gentle words were like a cat's claws, scratching his heart.
A soft light gradually filled his eyes.
Come to think of it, the two of them haven't been intimate for a long time...
