Chapter 216: Push harder, the baby is coming out!
In the end, Lu Hangzhi didn't even look at her.
He seemed to have lost his soul.
His eyes were only on the table next to him. The water in the white jade teacup had turned cold, with only a piece of brown tea leaves floating on it.
Shen Ruoying's heart kept sinking, and her whole body was extremely cold.
Why didn't Lu Hangzhi save her?
He obviously loves her the most!
He was even willing to be ridiculed and scolded by the whole capital for coveting a widowed sister-in-law just to marry her.
Shen Ruoying was angry and sad, "Lu Hangzhi, you are so ungrateful and indecisive. I made a mistake in giving you this!"
Seeing the two break up, Aunt Li next to them was also heartbroken.
It's all over.
But Shen Ruoying didn't want to admit defeat.
She was once a model of noble ladies in the capital, admired by many people. She shouldn't have ended up like this.
Shen Ruoying's eyes swept over the people present one by one.
Finally, it stopped on Lu Jingyu.
Lu Jingyu is much taller than Lu Hangzhi, doesn't like to laugh, and usually looks a bit fierce.
Even though Shen Ruoying was engaged to Lu Jingyu at the beginning, she didn't like him, thinking that he was a careless military commander who would definitely not be kind to others.
But who could have thought that he would protect Gu Qingning so much and take care of her in every way?
If I had married Lu Jingyu successfully, would I not have ended up in this situation today?
"Young Master, considering that we were engaged, can you let them give me some respect?"
"I know you are the most fair and you can't bear to see the weak being bullied."
"You won't stand by and watch me being humiliated, right?"
She looked at Lu Jingyu expectantly.
Even Lu Hangzhi's gaze finally shifted from the teacup, his eyes were filled with complexity.
Feng Yuaner and Feng Shi and the others suddenly became anxious.
If Lu Jingyu had come forward today, then Shen Ruoying might have been spared this time!
Because in the Duke's Mansion, even the Duke has to give Lu Jingyu some respect.
Now everyone is waiting for Lu Jingyu to speak.
Lu Jingyu immediately stood up and straightened his cuffs.
"Originally, this is Cuiwei Pavilion's business, but if you insist on bringing up the engagement, then I will investigate. You couldn't wait to marry my brother even though I was still 'dead'!"
"You were the one who didn't want to be a widow in the first place, and now you've done something wrong and you don't want to admit it either? What? Does this world belong to you?"
"Since you are a woman, I will not do anything to you, but this is only once."
"My wife will be unhappy to hear such words."
Lu Jingyu walked out and stopped halfway.
He turned around and said, "I don't beat women, but I have men who beat women."
These light words seemed like a sharp blade, piercing Shen Ruoying's heart.
She looked at Lu Jingyu in surprise, "You actually want someone to beat me up just for Gu Qingning? Why?"
Lu Jingyu: "Because Qing Ning is my wife."
After he said this, he no longer cared about this trivial matter. He stood up, nodded to Duke Qin, turned around and left.
Shen Ruoying looked at Lu Jingyu's back stupidly and let herself be pulled to the back by the old woman without any resistance.
Her heart was overwhelmed with regret.
Lu Jingyu, who protects his wife so much, and Lu Hangzhi, who doesn't care about his wife at all.
Comparing the two, she finally realized what she had missed.
The fake belly was exposed.
In order to raise money for his gambling son, Doctor Li accepted Shen Ruoying's bribe.
Duke Qin: "Considering that you haven't made a big mistake yet, this mansion can no longer keep you. You should leave now."
Doctor Li left in disgrace.
After this incident, it would be difficult for him to work as a court physician in the mansions of high-ranking officials.
Then it was Shen Ruoying's turn to be dealt with.
Duke Qin looked at Lu Hangzhi and said, "Hangzhi, how do you think we should deal with the Shen family?"
Lu Hangzhi was silent for a long time, and finally said softly:
"Let's get a divorce."
Shen Ruoying was originally disheartened, but after hearing these words, she still looked at Lu Hangzhi in horror.
However, Lu Hangzhi didn't even look at her. He stood up, said goodbye to Duke Qin and Feng, and walked out.
It was dark and the night was slightly cool.
But it was not as cold as Lu Hangzhi's heart.
But in the end, Lu Hangzhi still gave Shen Ruoying a last bit of dignity.
That means divorce by peace, not divorcing her.
Regardless of whether Shen Ruoying was willing or not, Lu Hangzhi wrote the divorce letter that night and planned to send Shen Ruoying back to Guangping Marquis Mansion early the next morning.
The matter at Cuiwei Pavilion has come to an end for the time being.
But on the other side, something happened again.
Zhao Jing received news that several young men who were on good terms with her son said that her son was missing.
Zhao Jing fainted on the spot!
Duke Qin was also extremely worried.
It was Lu Jingyu who said, "If there is still no news tomorrow, then go report to the police."
This is all we can do for now, after all, it's curfew.
By the time Lu Jingyu returned to Songtao Pavilion, Gu Qingning was already sleepy.
She had just bathed and was wearing a lotus-colored middle-length dress with her long hair loose. She was not wearing any makeup, but she was still extraordinarily beautiful.
Lu Jingyu looked at it a few more times.
Gu Qingning asked with concern: "If we really report it to the police, will we be able to find out the whereabouts of Sun Cheng?"
Lu Jingyu: "No, Su Ziyuan and the others shouldn't be useless to this extent. As for the Dali Temple, since Ouyang Rui is not here, there is nothing serious and they can't find him."
Seeing that he had arranged everything, Gu Qingning did not mention the matter again.
As for whether Zhao Jing can fall asleep tonight, that is her own business.
Zhao Jing did not sleep all night.
When she went to the academy in person the next day and learned that her son Sun Cheng still hadn't returned, she felt dizzy.
He managed to hold on and not faint, and quickly went to report to the authorities.
But Zhao Jing couldn't sit still after waiting for only an hour.
She thought that Jingzhao Yin would not find someone properly, so she immediately grabbed Duke Qin's sleeve and begged:
"My Lord, can you ask the people from the Dali Temple to help me find Ah Cheng?"
Duke Qin was also helpless. "Now that the Dali Temple is under the control of Ouyang Rui, I can't intervene. But don't worry, I'll ask the servants and guards in the mansion to go out and look for someone."
"Ah Cheng wouldn't offend anyone. He must have gone somewhere to have fun. He will be back soon."
Zhao Jing had no choice but to nod and pray that nothing happened to her son.
But her heart was not at peace at all, so she had no time to care whether Song Tao Pavilion had a child or not.
At the same time, the atmosphere in Cuiwei Pavilion was also very depressing.
Lu Hangzhi threw the divorce letter on the table and said, "Pack your things and go back to Guangping Marquis' Mansion."
Shen Ruoying, with her hair loose and her eyes red and swollen, sneered after hearing this.
"Go back to Guangping Marquis' Mansion? Have you forgotten that I have been drifting away from my family because of you?"
"Besides, what should I pack? During the time I was married to you, not only did I lose my child and hurt myself, but I also have very little dowry left!"
When talking about this matter, Lu Hangzhi's expression was a little unnatural.
"I will compensate you for the money."
"How do you compensate? Ha, are you going to get the money from Feng Yuaner and give it back to me?" Shen Ruoying's mouth was full of sneers, but her eyes were full of tears.
Lu Hangzhi fell silent.
He didn't want to say anything.
Just as he turned to leave, Shen Ruoying's questioning voice came from behind him:
"Lu Hangzhi, do you regret swapping your marriage? Do you regret marrying me?"
Lu Hangzhi raised his head and looked at the huge sun, his eyes were dazzled by the sunlight and tears came out.
"Well, I regret it."
“…”
He took a day off today so he didn't have to go to the government office, but he didn't want to stay in Cuiwei Pavilion either.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the entrance of Songtao Pavilion.
When the servants at the door saw him, they immediately stood on full alert.
"Second Master, is there something wrong? The young master is not here."
Lu Hangzhi said embarrassedly. He couldn't say that he especially wanted to come and see Qing Ning now?
However, when Lu Hangzhi thought that Qing Ning was about to give birth to a child for his eldest brother, he felt a dull pain in his heart again.
He waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm just passing by."
After Lu Hangzhi left, the disciple immediately reported the matter to Gu Qingning.
Wei Shuhe was supporting Gu Qingning and walking in the yard.
After hearing this, Wei Shuhe asked in a low voice: "Qing Ning, do you think Lu Hangzhi regrets the marriage swap?"
Gu Qingning: "What are you regretting? They chose it on their own initiative. They don't even have this much responsibility. Shen Ruoying is hateful, but Lu Hangzhi is even more hateful."
Forced her to be a concubine, or broke off the engagement. No matter which choice was made, it would actually force Gu Qingning into the dust.
At that time, Lu Hangzhi was only concerned with embracing his sweetheart and didn’t care about his choice, which might drive Gu Qingning to death.
The same is true now.
"He divorced Shen Ruoying directly, and Shen Ruoying had already broken off relations with Guangping Marquis's Mansion. He is now pushing Shen Ruoying to a dead end."
But he, Lu Hangzhi, disappeared beautifully?
Wei Shuhe hurriedly said, "Qing Ning, don't get angry over that kind of person. The women in his yard are not easy to deal with. There will be a lot of trouble in the future."
Gu Qingning frowned and nodded.
Suddenly I felt a cramp in my stomach.
"Shu He, my stomach seems to be hurting again, and this time it hurts more severely than before."
"Then can you still walk?"
"able."
Wei Shuhe quickly helped Gu Qingning to the delivery room and asked Banxia to call for help.
Granny Liao immediately began to give orders in an orderly manner, arranging the midwives and maids to perform their respective duties.
Chen Fenfang asked Chuan Gu to take people to guard Songtao Pavilion and not let anyone in!
In addition, she said to Mo Yu: "Mo Yu, you are fast and can enter the palace freely. Go and send a letter to the young master immediately, saying that the lady is about to give birth!"
Mo Yu nodded seriously, turned around, jumped on the horse's back, and galloped towards the direction of the palace.
In the delivery room, the midwife said in surprise: "Madam, you are really going to give birth this time. Don't push too hard yet, save your strength first, and wait until the period is about to begin, then push all the way together."
Gu Qingning nodded.
It was very painful, but she was able to endure it and her body was in good health, so she could still bear it.
Granny Liao brought her a bowl of noodles so that she could eat it and have some strength.
Wei Shuhe was standing beside her, holding her hand, ready for action.
But Lu Jingyu hasn't come back yet...
Soon, the midwife's voice was heard again.
"Madam, push harder, the baby is coming out!"
