Chapter 239 Pregnancy Announcement
After Lu Shuyi came closer, everyone bowed again.
"Cousin..."
Lu Wenxue came over, looking obedient.
Lu Shuyi looked at her behavior and was actually a little annoyed, but she still said, "Why are you causing trouble again?"
"No, it was just a small misunderstanding with the Chaoyang County Master. It has been resolved."
Lu Shuyi frowned slightly, obviously not quite believing what Lu Wenxue said.
She turned to Gu Ruanci and said, "Princess Chaoyang, do you need me to help you get justice?"
Gu Ruanci smiled calmly and replied, "I appreciate the kindness of the Grand Princess. However, County Master Mingyue did not distort justice just now, so there is no need to trouble the Grand Princess."
When Lu Shuyi heard this, a hint of irony flashed in her eyes. She understood the meaning of Gu Ruan's words, and also understood that the Princess of Chaoyang County was no ordinary person.
She patted Lu Wenxue's shoulder gently and said earnestly, "Wenxue, as the county lord, you should pay more attention to your words and actions and not always cause trouble for Uncle Duan."
Lu Wenxue lowered her head. Although she was unwilling, she did not dare to refute.
She knew that although Lu Shuyi was now divorced and she was living in the mansion, she had tried to force her to marry someone else several times but failed, and her mind had long been perverted.
She glanced at Wu Yixuan, with whom she had always had a bad relationship, and suddenly had an idea.
"Cousin, I haven't seen Miss Wu for a while. He just got married when General Gu went to the border. It must be very hard for a newlywed couple to live in different places..."
Lu Shuyi frowned slightly when she heard this. She looked at Wu Yixuan with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
If it were someone else, she could help for the sake of her own reputation.
But Wu Yixuan married Gu Yutang, the person she had always wanted to marry, and this was enough to make her jealous.
In order to ruin this marriage, she also tried to destroy Wu Yixuan's reputation, but failed.
If it weren't for her special identity, she probably wouldn't have the chance to stand in front of these people at this time.
But her hatred for Wu Yixuan did not dissipate, but became even stronger.
After hearing this, instead of wanting to help, he wanted to add fuel to the fire.
"Oh? Really?" Lu Shuyi looked at Wu Yixuan with a half-smile, her tone hinting at a hint of provocation. "There's no fighting at the border anymore. After all, the Gu family army has been stationed there for years, intimidating Dashun. They won't act rashly. General Gu didn't need to return so soon. I imagine Miss Wu must be feeling bad about being separated from her husband so young."
When Wu Yixuan heard this, her expression changed slightly. She didn't expect Lu Shuyi to suddenly point the finger at her.
But she didn't panic, after all, she had enough confidence.
She glanced at Gu Ruanci, indicating that she could handle it herself, and then said to Lu Shuyi, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. As a military commander, it is my duty to protect my family and country. Although I am concerned, I also know that I should put the overall situation first."
Lu Shuyi sneered, obviously not satisfied with Wu Yixuan's answer.
She changed the subject and said, "But then again, Miss Wu was able to marry General Gu, which was a blessing she had accumulated for eight lifetimes. I remember that General Gu was the dream lover of many young ladies back then."
The noble ladies nearby thought Lu Shuyi had gone crazy again.
When Gu Yutang was mentioned, she seemed to lose control.
When Wu Yixuan heard this, he found it ridiculous.
She understood that Lu Shuyi was mocking her, but it was also because she envied her, or even jealous.
Seeing that Wu Yixuan did not refute immediately, Lu Shuyi felt proud and thought that it was enough.
She then said to Lu Wenxue, "Ms. Wu is newly married and has her own blessings. Wenxue, instead of worrying about others, you should think more about yourself. As the county lady, your words and actions represent the face of Prince Duan's Mansion. You must not act so willfully anymore."
It's really laughable that the person who was full of sarcasm just now suddenly became so majestic.
"Now she is no longer the daughter of the Wu family, but the young lady of the Gu family." Gu Ruanci helped to emphasize.
This identity has always been what Lu Shuyi longed for, but Wu Yixuan got it first, which once again shocked her.
The Queen Mother noticed that the situation here seemed a little unusual. After all, Lu Shuyi and Lu Wenxue had both come before the Gu family, so she was afraid that something bad was going on, so she hurried over.
"What are you talking about?" The Queen asked with a kind look.
Lu Shuyi was a little nervous, afraid that Gu Ruanci and the others would say bad things about her.
She was also trying to recall whether she had actually said anything excessive just now.
The arrival of the Queen made the already subtle atmosphere even more interesting.
Gu Ruanci smiled softly, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps the eldest princess and Mingyue County Master are concerned about my sister-in-law and are asking her how she, the newlywed wife, has been doing since my eldest brother left."
Upon hearing this, the Queen looked at Lu Shuyi and Lu Wenxue and indeed she was not very happy.
Lu Shuyi was still thankful that her mother would definitely understand her feelings.
After all, I didn't say anything excessive.
Instead, it was Lu Wenxue whose expression changed.
Concubine Wen was even more panicked. Before leaving, she had clearly told Lu Wenxue not to get close to Gu Ruanci, so as not to be caught by the other party.
It seemed that she didn't take what she said to heart.
"General Gu was a brave young man who put his country first and led his troops by example. He is naturally a role model for the younger generation. Madam Gu is a lady from a family of scholars. They are both worthy of admiration for being able to form such a marriage and help General Gu protect his family. When Wen Xue gets married in the future, she should also have such magnanimity."
The Queen Mother did not directly accuse Lu Wenxue, but the word "temperament" was already a mockery of Lu Wenxue.
As for Lu Shuyi, the Empress added, "Shuyi is an experienced person after all. She knows that love is at its peak after marriage. Madam Gu is separated from General Gu right after their wedding, so it's inevitable that she'll miss him. You shouldn't tease her like that."
"Yes, my daughter was inconsiderate..." Lu Shuyi quickly apologized.
Lu Wenxue immediately said, "Your Highness also..."
In the eyes of Wu Yixuan's people, the behavior of the two of them was not an admission of fault, but rather they were forced to bow their heads under pressure.
They were not unaware of the irony in their questions just now.
At this time, Wu Yixian said, "The concern of the Grand Princess and the County Lady is naturally felt by our Gu family. Now that my husband knows that I am pregnant, he has hope in his heart. Although we are in different places, we can love this child together. It is already my fortune."
After Wu Yixuan finished speaking, Lu Shuyi was the first to react.
She has a child?
Why?
