She closed the door, her face was indignant, and seeing that Lu Yuanze was embarrassed and speechless, she said angrily: "Big brother, why do you want to be threatened by her to return the pattern to her?

Lu Yuanze shook his head: "No, no, I just returned hers to the original manuscript, in fact, I was afraid that there would be changes, so I had someone draw a copy of the drawing, and it had already been sent to the Ministry of Industry......

Lu Yuansi turned his anger into joy: "That's good, it's still the eldest brother who is prescient." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Hmph, Gu Qingning really doesn't know what to do, what if her father is a scholar? It's not because of our Lu family that she has gotten mixed up to this day, she still dares to entangle, threatening pregnancy, even if a lowly person is really pregnant with the blood of our Lu family? Do you still want to squeeze out the county lord? She is not worthy of being my sister-in-law! I want my father to know......

Lu Yuanze raised his head and interrupted her: "No, Yuansi, eldest brother, please beg you, this matter must not be known to my father, and I must not! If my father knows that I have done this...... Shame, he will definitely not let me go, maybe what he thinks of me, then I'm finished!"

Lu Yuansi looked at his anxious appearance, was silent for a while, and said: "Big brother, you are not afraid that your father will not let you go, but that your father will not let her go, right? If her father knows that she is pregnant, she will inevitably die...... You still can't bear ......."

was broken by his sister's words, he hung his head and did not defend, only said: "You promise the eldest brother, don't say it." ”

Lu Yuansi nodded helplessly and promised: "Don't worry, big brother, I will never leak this matter." ”

Gu Qingning left Xiangguo's Mansion according to the original road, got into the carriage and sat in the canopy. Shen Lanxi saw that she was okay on the surface, and had some doubts, so she took Uncle Tang away on the pretext of buying something, and asked her daughter worriedly: "How is it? What is his attitude?"

Gu Qingning told her the truth about Lu Yuanze's decision, Shen Lanxi broke down, grabbed Gu Qingning's hand, couldn't help but be angry, and said: "How can he do this? Go, Qingning, my mother will go to his Lu family to explain the law! They will marry my daughter back without carrying a sedan chair, and I will never give up!"

Gu Qingning held her trembling hand and said, "Forget it." ”

"How can you forget it? You are pregnant! If you don't marry him, what will you do in the future?" Shen Lanxi's eyes were hazy with tears, and her heart was like a knife.

Gu Qingning said: "Mother, if Lu Xiangguo knew that I was pregnant at this time, do you think he would give up his marriage with the Jinxuan Royal Mansion and choose our Gu family?"

Shen Lanxi was stunned, in fact, she didn't expect this, she was just in a hurry, after all, she was also an ordinary mother.

"I'm afraid that he won't let go of the Gu family. This child will not be a lifesaver for us, but a disaster for us. So it's better to use Lu Yuanze's guilt towards me to seek temporary self-preservation, whether it's a threat or a compromise, it's the only way to do it now. ”

Shen Lanxi saw that her eyes were gloomy, and she seemed to have made a great determination, and asked in a panic, "Then what should you do in the future?"

Gu Qingning stroked his abdomen and said, "I heard that the Hong family in Luoyang has a medicine that can abort without harming your life, mother, you should have heard of it, right?"

Shen Lanxi looked at her, took a deep breath, stroked the side of her daughter's face with tears, and after choking for a long time, she nodded with difficulty: "Okay...... I went to Master Hong Hong for help. ”

Shen Lanxi met Hong Luotian before he left the cabinet, and he was a confidant, so she didn't have any worries about asking him for help because of this matter. Later that day, the mother and daughter went out in a carriage again and came to the inn where Hong Luotian was, this time Gu Qingning was waiting in the car, and Shen Lanxi wore a hat and went upstairs alone to meet Hong Luotian.

It wasn't until the evening that Shen Lanxi came out of the inn, her face was solemn, Gu Qingning asked, and she spoke: "I didn't explain the specific reason to him, he promised to help get that medicine, but he said ......"

Gu Qingning asked, "What did Master Hong say?"

Shen Lanxi looked up at her sadly, and said sadly: "He said...... Abortion with this medicine will not harm your life...... But I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant again for the rest of my life. ”

Gu Qingning was stunned, a layer of mist appeared in his eyes, his negligence dissipated, he regained his perseverance and determination, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, you can." ”

"How cruel it is to not be able to conceive again in your life, as a woman, you can't be a mother for the rest of your life...... Qingning, don't be like this, your mother is reluctant to let you suffer this kind of sin, no matter what, you give birth to the child, even if the Lu family doesn't want it, we will raise him ourselves, this is also the child of the Gu family......" Shen Lanxi was completely out of control and complained bitterly.

Seeing her like this, Gu Qingning added even more sadness, wiped away her tears for her, and shook her head: "Mother, I have made up my mind, whoever made me do something stupid, then I am destined to pay the price for my stupidity." ”

In the evening, the carriage they were riding in and Gu Qingxuan's official sedan chair stopped in front of the mansion almost at the same time, the mother and daughter packed up their emotions and manners, helped each other to get out of the car, and after seeing Gu Qingxuan, they glanced at each other and walked towards him.

Gu Qingxuan saw that Shen Lanxi's face was a little pale, worried that she was unwell, she only said that she was fine, and asked where their mother and daughter came from, Shen Lanxi only said: "Master Menghong taught Qingfeng, and our family has never reciprocated, today is just after the holiday, I bought some gifts and sent them with Qingning to express my gratitude." ”

He nodded thoughtfully, "Well, that's how it should be." So he brought his wife and daughter into the house.

Entering the tearoom in the main hall, Gu Qingning asked: "Just after Shangyuan, isn't today the day of rest?

Gu Qingxuan was a little relieved to see that his daughter was doing as usual, and a trace of gloom flashed on his face, and he shook his head and said: "Yes, in fact, the day after tomorrow will only open the dynasty, I am not going to the household department today, but to see Dong Shangshu. ”

"Does Qinghuan still need to submit a public paper to ask for a sponsor? With his talent, even if he directly enters the written exam, he can't be ......" said, she also felt naïve, so she smiled bitterly.

Gu Qingxuan said: "Qinghuan's talent is naturally not bad, but for the sake of comprehensiveness, it is good to have one more way." ”

Gu Qingning actually understands his intentions, Dong Yehong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is honest and honest, knowledgeable, and has a friendship with the Gu family, and their brothers and sisters have to call him uncle on weekdays, not to mention that when he was a bachelor, Gu Qinghuan was also taught by him, even if he was his protégé, it was understandable for Gu Qingxuan to entrust him as a sponsor for Gu Qinghuan at this time.

Shen Lanxi smiled lightly and asked, "Qing Xuan, does Qing Huan know about this matter?"

Gu Qingxuan said: "Well, I don't know yet, I understand, my son, although he has a peaceful and round temperament, but he is a literati in his bones, talented and proud, if he knows at this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it for a while, it's okay, when others are busy throwing public papers and investment bank papers to find a way, he should be in a hurry, and then give him a word, he will make a good roll and vote." ”

"My father was tired. Gu Qingning smiled and poured a cup of fragrant tea and served it.

Gu Qingxuan took the tea, looked at her, looked a little sad, and said: "Qingning, it was really forced by the helpless situation for my father to set a marriage for you when you were young, and it was my father's fault that I didn't want to mistake you like this." Now that this situation has become a situation, you are not sad, and your future is also very important to your father. You are also old, you can't delay, after a while, let your mother find a matchmaker, your father will definitely choose the best family for you, we don't ask for a family, after all, my daughter is so good, no matter how high the family background is not worthy, for the father only wants to choose a good son-in-law for you, of course, you have to be willing, and when you find a home, the father can feel at ease. ”

Gu Qingning was depressed, but he didn't want his father to be upset, so he didn't show it, but said: "Father is good and hardworking, and my daughter understands, but this matter doesn't need to be too urgent, let's wait until Qinghuan Chunyu enters the test, and then we can wait and see the situation." ”

"Well, that's fine. Gu Qingxuan agreed. Gu Qingning didn't say anything more, glanced at Shen Lanxi, then withdrew from the main hall and went to the workshop.

After a while, the Gu couple also came out of the tea room and entered the bedroom, and Shen Lanxi personally served him to take off his official clothes and change into regular clothes, ready for dinner.

While tying a jade belt for him, she bowed her head and said: "Qingxuan, the Lu family's breach of contract is the biggest blow to Qingning, it is inevitable that she will be sad, I want to take her out to relax, maybe leave Chang'an for the time being, our mother and daughter have a heart-to-heart relationship, can let her relieve her sorrows, what do you think?"

"Leave Chang'an temporarily?" Gu Qingxuan wondered: "Where to go?"

Shen Lanxi paused, as if thinking: "Let's go to Luoyang, the weather is warm this year, presumably the peony flowers bloom early, I will take her to live for two months, and after appreciating the peony, I will return to Chang'an, just in time for the Qinghuan Spring Entrance Examination." ”

"Luoyang?" Shen Lanxi turned his back to tidy up his official uniform, and he didn't see him look a little surprised, he looked at her, groaned, and said, "Okay, let's go to Luoyang, then you can accompany her well and enlighten her more." I'll send someone to arrange your mother and daughter's itinerary later......"

"Nope. Shen Lanxi turned his head and vetoed, and smiled gently: "Don't bother, I'll take care of it, we will live in my cousin's villa when we arrive in Luoyang, everything is arranged, as for what is needed on the road, I will also prepare it properly, no need to worry about my husband." ”

Gu Qingxuan bowed his head indifferently, thoughtfully, and replied: "Well, Madame has an arrangement......

Shen Lanxi said that he would leave tomorrow, but Gu Qingxuan didn't say much, just told him to be careful.

After talking about this, Shen Lanxi asked: "Did you really only see Dong Shangshu today? Didn't you go to the household department to check the accounts again? Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver disappeared, how could there be no trace? Can't you just let them frame them!"
