Chapter 485 That's all he's capable of.
Shen Qihui raised his hand: "Aunt Yueying, I want the garlic flavor?"
"it is good!"
Zhao Pengyu also shouted, "Aunt Yueying, bring me a plate of braised prawns!"
Cang Yanchuan also shouted, "Me too, me too..."
"Know it!"
Cang Lingchen glanced at his sister's interaction with Lu Yunqing, then looked up at Gu Chenglin's dark face.
He glanced again at the noisy boys, then turned to look at Gu Chenglin, who was glaring fiercely at Lu Yunqing with an expression of frustration and helplessness.
He glanced at Changsun Lan, who was looking down and seemingly lost in thought, and Helian Shuo, who was drinking alone in silence.
He was speechless. What were they all doing?!
He nudged Gu Chenglin with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Gu Chenglin glanced at his brother-in-law, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "That's all he's capable of!"
Don't think he doesn't know what his brother-in-law is thinking. Watching the show? He won't fall for it.
And then there's Lu Yunqing, who's so annoying to him. What should he do about his itchy hands?
But if he actually takes action, wouldn't that confirm his actions?
No, for his wife's reputation, he would endure it!
Cang Lingchen suppressed a laugh, feigning confusion: "You're not angry?"
How could he tolerate his wife being treated gently by another man right under his nose?
Gu Chenglin, his face grim, continued, "That's all he's capable of!"
Changsun Lan...
Can't this guy say anything else?
That's true, Yu Xuan (Lu Yunqing's courtesy name) is only capable of this much.
From their first meeting, he noticed that the way this kid looked at Dongfang Jin was strange.
All his achievements during his years as magistrate of Ling'an County came from this girl.
Even the surrounding counties of Ling'an County have achieved their annual performance targets by following in his footsteps.
Guanglin Prefecture, in particular, was a tea-producing region last year.
Prefect Yao Wenlan was directly promoted to Governor of Yunmeng Prefecture.
Lu Yunqing could have returned to the capital to report on his duties three years ago, but he continued to stay in Ling'an County because of the flimsy excuse of not being able to find a suitable replacement.
Now, this girl was tricked back by His Majesty under the pretext of repairing the imperial vineyards.
Right after, Lu Yunqing returned to the capital to report on his duties. That's really something...
But... what about him?
He gave a bitter smile, looked up and met Helian Shuo's eyes, both understanding each other's thoughts.
He raised his hand to clink the glass, then took a sip, the spiciness stimulating his taste buds.
Cang Nanxi saw the expressions on their faces; it was his daughter.
Sometimes they are very clever, and sometimes they are very confused, and they don't pay attention to the occasion.
Knowing full well how much the Lu family's son loved her, she still did this right under his nose.
This isn't the first time the son-in-law and the Lu family's son have been secretly vying for power; it's really a headache.
Just as the son-in-law said, that's all the Lu family boy is capable of.
He didn't dare go any further; he admired how well the kid controlled his emotions.
But what's the deal with Changsun Lan and Helian Shuo?
It's understandable that Helian, an unmarried young man, would have designs on his daughter, but what about Changsun Lan...?
I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse, but I hope they don't lose their composure.
Seeing that Gu Chenglin and his cousin hadn't made a move, Hua Yunshu knew the excitement was over and quickly changed the subject.
So the group began to discuss in detail the content of the entrance examinations for the princes from foreign lands, as well as the details of their special management.
A strategy for dealing with foreign powers was thus formed.
……
Just then, An Ying rushed over and entered the restaurant without even bothering to greet everyone.
She rushed to Dongfang Jin's side and knelt down: "Master, you should go to the medicinal cuisine hall quickly, that Princess Anhua from the Ningguo Duke's mansion is causing trouble again..."
As soon as she said that, the restaurant seemed to press the pause button and remained silent for a moment.
Dongfang Jin frowned: "Get up, tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"
An Ying stood up, bowed to everyone present, and then recounted what had happened.
It turns out to be Xie Wenfeng from the Xie family, who brought a beautiful concubine to Mingyue Manor today.
Upon entering, the two men led their entourage directly to the medicinal cuisine hall.
Because this beautiful concubine discovered she was pregnant, she longed to eat the food at the Mingyue Manor's medicinal cuisine restaurant.
Moreover, this child was Xie Wenfeng's first child, so this beautiful concubine was naturally somewhat favored.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the hall, they saw Hua Lingshu having lunch with an old woman and two maids.
Most of the wives and daughters of officials who previously lived at Mingyue Villa returned to Beijing one after another because of this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Because Hua Lingshu married a merchant, she was no longer eligible to attend palace banquets.
Just as she was holding her breath with nowhere to vent, her husband swaggered in right under her nose with his concubine. And just like that, she walked right into the line of fire.
She had been fighting with the proper masters of the Xie family since childhood. The reason she agreed to marry into the Xie family was to put Xie Wenjing in a superior position.
That concubine also knew all this, and now she's completely oblivious to the situation; you could say she's become arrogant because she's favored.
Taking advantage of her pregnancy, she deliberately approached Hua Lingshu, touching her belly and showing off arrogantly.
She also made a lot of sarcastic remarks. Tell me, what kind of person is Hua Lingshu?
The young lady of the Duke of Ningguo's mansion has been pampered since childhood. Although she was married into a political alliance, she is still a princess.
How could she tolerate a concubine daring to act so arrogantly in front of her?
When Hua Lingshu heard that her concubine was pregnant and was showing off in front of her, the legal wife, she could no longer contain her anger.
Not only did he slap the concubine several times on the spot, but he also ordered her two maids to hold her down and beat her as hard as they could until she was satisfied.
And just like that, Hua Lingshu's maid not only knocked the concubine unconscious, but also caused her to miscarry.
When Xie Wenfeng finished ordering and came over, it was too late. That was his first child, and he was so angry that he hit Hua Lingshu.
Xie Wenfeng was in a fit of anger and didn't know his own strength.
Hua Lingshu had never been treated like this before, so she started fighting with Xie Wenfeng.
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, the concubine suddenly woke up, saw the blood beneath her, and knew that the child was gone.
He lunged at Hua Lingshu like a madman, pushing her far away.
Caught off guard, Hua Lingshu was pushed and bumped into a chair on the other side.
It wasn't until the nanny beside Hua Lingshu cried out in alarm, "Madam is bleeding!"
Before everyone could react, they saw a pool of blood flowing out from beneath Hua Lingshu.
When Granny Su arrived with her entourage, she saw this chaotic scene.
She quickly instructed two doctors from the medicinal cuisine hall to examine Hua Lingshu and the concubine.
The examination revealed that Hua Lingshu was more than two months pregnant.
She miscarried after being pushed by that concubine.
This incident resulted in two deaths. Although Granny Su was capable of handling the situation, she still sent someone to inform her master.
After all, this matter could be big or small. People in ancient times were superstitious, and Granny Su was also afraid that if word got out, it would be bad for the manor.
After all, the master of Mingyue Manor had just moved in when such an unlucky thing happened.
What Granny Su thought of, everyone present also thought of.
After all, the Hua family of the Ningguo Duke's Mansion was still Gu Chenglin's nominal maternal family.
Besides, there's Hua Yunshu; he's Hua Lingshu's cousin.
Hua Yunshu frowned. Although he didn't like his uncle's children.
But this is ultimately a matter for the Hua family: "How dare Xie Wenfeng? Ling Shu is his lawfully wedded wife, yet he is so inconsiderate."
Lu Yunqing glanced at her angry cousin and frowned: "Cousin Ling Shu was the Xie family's legal wife, whom they married with great ceremony. How can Xie Wenfeng protect his concubine and humiliate his first wife!"
Cang Nanxi looked at the group with a cold face: "Xiao Jin and Gu Chenglin shouldn't go."
"Chen'er, you, Ziyu (Hua Yunshu), and Yuxuan (Lu Yunqing) go and take a look."
Dongfang Jin lowered his eyes and stared at An Ying, who was kneeling again. His dark blue eyelashes cast a cold shadow on his eyelids.
He wiped his hands clean and gently stroked the gilded purse with its intertwined floral pattern at his waist with his fingertips.
Suddenly raising his eyes, his gaze swept over the other person like a drawn sword, but the curve of his lips was a half-smile: "If I remember correctly, the third one of Bright Moon Manor."
It's forbidden for men to bring women other than their wives into the resort, right?
