Chapter 39 Let her go and beg Gu Qingning?
Gu Qingning was wearing a lake blue dress, and her eyes were calmer than the lake.
Shen Ruoying felt a little uneasy when she was looked at by her and showed a very aggrieved expression.
"Why, sister-in-law, are you still holding a grudge against our previous misunderstanding, so you don't want to let the doctor come and see me?"
She was already pregnant and hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. Coupled with her aggrieved expression, Shen Ruoying looked pitiful.
And Gu Qingning seemed to be born with something wrong.
Gu Qingning recalled that during the ten years she had lived in Guangping Marquis' Mansion, Shen Ruoying relied on this ability to make everyone in the mansion like her and favor her.
Oh, and even more so, a few months ago, Shen Ruoying used this ability to make Lu Hangzhi marry her.
But now...
When Gu Qingning thought that the young master was still alive, she was actually grateful from the bottom of her heart to this scheming cousin.
"Ruoying, if I still hold a grudge about what happened, I won't let the doctor from the clinic come to treat you."
"If you don't hold a grudge, for the sake of your health, you can't change doctors at will, so you won't let doctors from the clinic treat you, right?"
For some reason, Shen Ruoying felt uneasy when she saw Gu Qingning smiling.
She laughed dryly, "But didn't you say that the doctor was very skilled?"
Gu Qingning: "Oh, I just said it casually, just listen to it, don't believe it."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving Shen Ruoying standing there, deep in thought.
Aunt Li came over and held her arm. "Madam, what's wrong with you? The eldest young lady must be worried that something might happen to your unborn child and that it would implicate her, so she is unwilling to recommend a doctor, right?"
Shen Ruoying frowned and said, "Gu Qingning smiled at me just now, and it was a grateful smile, but what was she grateful to me for?"
Aunt Li: "She must be smiling perfunctorily, ma'am, please don't think too much about it."
Shen Ruoying thought about it and realized that it was true. She and Gu Qingning could only maintain superficial peace from now on.
Even if Gu Qingning didn't know that the incident at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was caused by Tao Ye, the two of them would not be able to be sisters like before.
And when she gives birth to the Duke's eldest son, Hangzhi, who will inherit the title, she will completely trample Gu Qingning under her feet!
Thinking of this, Shen Ruoying felt relieved again.
However, Gu Qingning was reminded by Shen Ruoying and immediately told Banxia to send a letter to Wei Shuhe in the clinic, asking her not to treat Shen Ruoying.
Any medicine that may cause pregnancy in women must be registered before it can be sold.
Some of the shady methods used by women in the harem will be used on pregnant women and children. Gu Qingning opened such a clinic not to be used by those evil-hearted people.
Gu Qingning then became busy. The two major events at the end of the year were enough to keep her busy for a while.
As for Feng, although she was unwilling, she thought that after the New Year, when Hangzhi inherited the title, she could take the opportunity to take back some jobs from Gu Qingning.
This New Year, let Gu Qingning run errands and work like a slave.
Feng called some good ladies to come over and play mahjong, and they were very relaxed.
Madam Li asked curiously, "Madam Guogong, you are still young, why did you give all the power to your eldest daughter-in-law?"
Feng touched the cards and smiled, "It would be boring for her to stay in the yard as a widow, so I'll find something for her to do."
Madam Li: "You are a soft-hearted mother-in-law."
The other Madam Du asked curiously, "Didn't your eldest daughter-in-law open a clinic? I heard that the whitening pills there are very effective. Princess Jiamin's skin has become as white and tender as egg white."
Madam Qi: "Yes, yes, I have heard of it too. I heard there is a kind of slimming pill. Princess Jiamin gave the handkerchief to Madam Chen Xiao and took it. After taking it, she became slim in a month. That small waist is really enviable. It's just a pity that no matter what kind of pill it is, it's not easy to buy."
At this point, the ladies all looked at Feng eagerly.
Feng: "What's wrong?"
Madam Du smiled and said, "Madam, we have known each other for many years. Can you ask your eldest daughter-in-law to do us a favor and let us buy some beauty pills first?"
"Yes, yes, Madam, my daughter is really fat and is about to reach the age of marriage, but she hasn't been promised yet. I want her to try the slimming pills, but I can never buy them."
Everyone was talking at once, and the smile on Feng's face was about to collapse.
Does she have to let her, the mother-in-law, go and beg Gu Qingning?
But Feng was very pleased with the compliments from these noble ladies. She smiled and responded directly, "It's not a big deal. I'll ask Qing Ning to deliver the beauty pills you need to your house."
After hearing this, the ladies were delighted.
"I'm sorry to give you too much. You still have to spend money."
"No, those pills are only so cheap, don't refuse. If you refuse again, I will be angry."
"Sister Feng, you are so generous and cheerful! You are such a lucky person to have such a good daughter-in-law."
Feng was flattered by the praises of the ladies and her mood naturally improved a lot.
After the ladies left, she calmed down, looked at the ladies' needs on the list, and decided to discuss the matter during the family dinner.
She wanted to talk about this in front of Duke Qin, so that Gu Qingning would be embarrassed to refuse!
Unless there are special circumstances, the Duke of Qin's family will have dinner together on the first and fifteenth days of the month. The Duke of Qin attaches great importance to these etiquettes, and all the relatives and friends from each room must come.
Gu Qingning's position was closest to Duke Qin and Feng, but she was alone.
Sitting opposite were Lu Hangzhi, Chen Ruoying, and Aunt Biyue.
Sitting farthest from the main seat were Duke Qin's two concubines, Aunt Mei and Aunt Zhao.
Mrs. Feng was the first to speak. "Qing Ning, you must have been very busy recently. Look at how thin you are, and your chin is almost pointed."
Shen Ruoying, who was sitting next to him, paused.
She has gained a lot of weight, and her face has become rounder. She can't stand hearing this the most.
After hearing what his mother said, Lu Hangzhi dared to look at Gu Qingning opposite him.
Compared to the increasingly bloated Shen Ruoying, Gu Qingning became even more beautiful.
The little cousin who used to be beautiful in the Guangping Marquis' Mansion is now like a graceful peony, extremely beautiful, yet gentle and dignified.
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, mother. I haven't lost weight since I'm not busy."
Mrs. Feng: "Oh, so you didn't lose weight through hard work. Did you lose weight by taking the slimming pills from your clinic? By the way, I know a few ladies who really appreciate the beauty pills from your clinic. Ask the clinic to send some to each of them later."
Gu Qingning: "..."
