Chapter 390: Chapter 382: Adding Fuel to the Fire

Gu Er just felt he was laughable, he was like a joke, indeed, what right did he have to blame his mother? Now she wasn’t his mother anymore.

This Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was also not a place he could enter, yet he still came here to blame, the humiliation he just suffered was brought upon himself.

Mrs. Dong had originally already rested, but upon hearing that Second Young Master had rushed to the Old Madam’s courtyard, she thought for a moment, then got up again, continuously having people pay attention to the movements in Shi’an Garden, and heard that Second Young Master had already come out from Shi’an Garden, looking dazed as if he had suffered some great blow.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dong stepped out of her courtyard, and in the passage, she encountered Gu Er who was walking out.

Gu Er simply didn’t see Mrs. Dong, or rather, at this moment, he couldn’t see anything. Mrs. Dong went to stop him in his tracks.

“What’s wrong, Little Uncle? Today, the Old Madam over there is not happy, if she said anything unpleasant, don’t take it to heart. If there are any things that can’t be reasoned with the Old Madam, Little Uncle can go to the East Mansion and talk with Sister Ning, now whatever Sister Ning says, the Old Madam will agree to, even the Marquis has broken many instances for Sister Ning,” Mrs. Dong called Gu Er to stop, seeing Gu Er looking at her, she then smiled and continued, “After all, she was raised by the Marquis, although at the beginning, the Marquis did not approve of her taking responsibility, but now they are together, Sister Ning is pregnant, which can be considered as bitterness turning to sweetness, finally the two have opened their hearts.”

“What bitterness turning to sweetness? The two of them had been secretly scheming for a long time! You don’t need to incite me here, I think the most pitiful one is you, really think my elder brother has no feelings for Sister Ning? Let me tell you, my elder brother and your sister have liked each other for a long time, they got to where they are today because my elder brother has always been scheming secretly, otherwise, who can force him to do what he doesn’t want to do? Foolish woman, trying to use me here, really think I’m as stupid as you?” Gu Er coldly glanced at Mrs. Dong, taking large steps away.

In the moment Gu Er regained his senses, he resolutely held onto one thought, he must make these two regret.

How dare they treat him like this, such betrayal? Absolutely unforgivable.

Mrs. Dong watched Gu Er leave swiftly, didn’t expect to refute like this, instead, after slowly understanding Gu Er’s words, Mrs. Dong turned around to coldly watch Jingfu beside her.

Jingfu only felt a chill all over, hurriedly bowed her head, then heard Madam’s voice above her head, “What did Second Eldest Young Master just say, repeat it again?”

Jingfu didn’t understand Madam’s meaning, but still obediently repeated a bit.

Mrs. Dong dazedly said, “Second Eldest Young Master said they have been together from before, is that so? No wonder, their feelings are so good now, originally they liked each other early on, I am truly stupid, how did I understand this just now? Originally, not only Second Eldest Young Master was calculating, but also me, how could the Marquis do this to me?”

“Madam, this is also Second Eldest Young Master saying it, whether or not it’s true is still unclear, Madam must not believe these words, no matter how you say it, now Madam already has a young son, everything should prioritize him, and in the future, this mansion depends on the young son to inherit.” Jingfu now finally understood why Madam had her repeat what the Second Eldest Young Master said.

So Madam was under this blow.

Thinking anxiously, Second Eldest Young Master was obviously embarrassed and ashamed, could it be that Madam would also be embarrassed and ashamed at this time?

Just during the day, she had argued with the Old Madam, yet she didn’t know what actions the Marquis might take, Madam didn’t know restraint. If things continue this way, even with the young son, Madam won’t have a good ending.

“Madam, young son needs breastfeeding at night, we should return, anyhow today is Mid-Autumn Festival, there’s nothing urgent.”

“Return, of course, we need to return, if we don’t return where else can we go? You think we could return to Dong Mansion? I am this age now, if we go back to Dong Mansion, what about Sister Hui? Moreover, like you said, now I still have Brother Zong, if I leave, who knows who will control the Marquis Mansion? Now she dares at that time to covet the Marquis, maybe still watching that seat in the mansion, I can’t let her get her wish, think she truly presumed I couldn’t give birth to a son? Now I have Brother Zong, definitely disrupted her plan, let’s see what else she can do.” Mrs. Dong walked back into the courtyard with a cold smile.

Seeing the master like this, Jingfu finally let out a sigh of relief, and the conversation between Mrs. Dong and Gu Er in the courtyard, as well as what the two people said to each other, spread to Lin Youning’s ears the next day.

Shanmoi and Hailan were also furious, feeling it was an insult to the lady, “Fortunately, this happened at night, and no one went to control it, otherwise, how could we have known.”

Shanmoi angrily retorted on the side.

Lin Youning didn’t care, didn’t want to mention Gu Er, “Alright, such things need not be mentioned in the future, let him say whatever he wants, we are not such people.”

Hailan and Shanmoi exchanged a glance, both bowed and complied.

By noon, however, Lin Qining came to the mansion.

This was surely an unexpected guest, Mr. Lin just came to the mansion, and Lin Qining arrived.

After Lin Qining arrived, she saw Lin Youning who didn’t get up on the stepping, Lin Qining frowned, but looking at how Lin Youning looked better, jealousy flashed in Lin Qining’s eyes.

Lin Youning merely glanced at her, “What brought you here today? There has never been any affection between the two.”

“It’s for father, before when he was a County Magistrate, he knew those local people who sent special products over. Father let me bring some over to you, hearing that you are pregnant, eating walnuts is better, for the child in your stomach as well.” Lin Qining spoke flatly.

Father?

Now admit you are not married with those two people?

Or was it trying to use this to bridge the relationship between the two?

Lin Youning faintly smiled, feeling Lin Qining changed a lot, “Then thank you very much.”

Lin Youning didn’t feel like saying more, after all the person came with a smile and brought things, she couldn’t say anything offensive and then drive the person out.

“The Marquis has already talked to Young Master, you may thank Marquis for me.” Lin Qining came also wanting to express gratitude.

“Alright, you came at the wrong time today, the Marquis went to court, otherwise you could thank him personally, if you’re not in a hurry, you can wait in the mansion for the Marquis to return.”

Once Lin Youning’s words fell, Lin Qining replied, “Just returned to the Capital, there’s something to handle, so I won’t wait in the mansion.”

The person barely stayed longer, got up to bid farewell, and left just like that.
