Chapter 304 Unruly

Lu Ji laughed at himself: "In the past, I have always been planning for you, but you were very annoyed and refused to believe me. If that's the case, why should I continue to be so sentimental?"

The resentment in a man's heart cannot be dissipated in a day or two.

Or maybe I hurt him so badly that he really no longer cares about me as much as before.

Qin Xiaoning sighed slightly, looked up at him, and asked, "Lu Ji, what do you want me to do to forgive me?"

"Give birth to the baby safely." The man said, "Before that, learn to be a good boy and don't cause me any more trouble."

Or just care about the kids.

Qin Xiaoning was helpless if the man didn't change his mind.

Things that cannot be rushed can only be planned slowly. There is still a long way to go.

She no longer pressed for an answer, but nodded meekly: "This is our child, I will naturally take good care of him."

Lu Ji was satisfied and said, "If you really think this way, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

After dinner, Lu Ji went out.

He didn't say where he was going, and didn't return until the moon was above the willows.

Qin Xiaoning had already washed up and went to bed. When she heard Lu Ji coming back, she opened her eyes slightly.

"Are you still awake?" he asked.

"I just slept for a while, but woke up again." She said, "This is what pregnancy is like. Sometimes I can't sleep well."

Lu Ji lay down beside her and took her into his arms.

This was the first time he took the initiative and hugged her naturally since he came here.

Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

A man's slightly hoarse voice came from above my head: "Go to sleep, I'm here, just sleep well."

A warm embrace, a calm and gentle voice, even the tone is full of pampering.

In a trance, it seemed as if they were back in the past, when they were in love, and Lu Ji would coax her to sleep like this every night.

The long-lost sense of security filled her heart, and the little woman fell asleep with her head tilted.

Qin Xiaoning slept very deeply that night, and only woke up when the pine branches shook and called her.

Lu Ji was no longer by her side, and Song Zhi whispered to her, "An Ning, the prince is going to deal with Shen Qingshu."

Qin Xiaoning was shocked when she heard this: "He beat Shen Qingshu?"

"That's not the case." Song Zhi lowered his voice and said, "Just now, I was in the side room and heard the prince telling an official outside that he wanted to dismiss Shen Qingshu. I didn't hear the details, but judging from the prince's attitude, he wants to harm Shen Qingshu."

This Lu Ji is really stubborn and unyielding!
Qin Xiaoning sighed heavily: "Okay, I understand."

After breakfast was served, Lu Ji walked into the house.

"Did you sleep well last night?" He said to Qin Xiaoning while washing his hands.

Qin Xiaoning didn't respond, but just sat in front of the desk sullenly. She didn't wait for him and started using it.

Lu Ji threw down the towel in his hand, waved away Hong'er and Qing'er who were serving him, then sat down opposite her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Qin Xiaoning lowered her eyes and didn't even look at Lu Ji.

Seeing this, Lu Ji frowned slightly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Qin Xiaoning put down the bamboo chopsticks in her hand, looked at the man opposite her and asked, "Are you going to deal with Shen Qingshu?"

Lu Ji asked back: "Who told you that?"

"Don't worry about that." Qin Xiaoning snorted: "Just answer me, is it true?"

"Yes."

The man answered frankly, not caring at all about upsetting her.

Qin Xiaoning was furious: "Why did you do this?"

She frowned: "Just because he has some affection for me, you want to retaliate against him, Lu Ji, you are the regent, representing the dignity of a country, how can you be so petty?"

"mean?"

Before Qin Xiaoning could finish her accusation, Lu Ji interrupted her coldly. He murmured and repeated what she had just said, and smiled coldly: "If I were stingy, I would have ten thousand ways to make sure that Shen died without a burial place."

There was a cruel tone in his words, which made Qin Xiaoning gasp slightly. She asked, "Why do you hate Shen Qingshu so much? How did he offend you?"

"What do you think?" Lu Ji asked back.

Lu Ji had come to find Shu Wang twice. Shen Qingshu knew that she was with Shu Wang, but she hid it from Lu Ji. She also deliberately set up a trap and pretended that she was going to get married in order to deceive Lu Ji's suspicion.

Lu Ji has always been domineering, so how could he tolerate being teased like this?

Qin Xiaoning was silent for a long time, then she said, "Can you spare Shen Qingshu's life for my sake?"

After saying this, seeing that Lu Ji's face became even uglier, she hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, he and I are just ordinary friends. Although he may have some feelings for me, I definitely only treat him as an ordinary friend. I don't want to hurt him because of me."

Seeing that Lu Ji remained silent and refused to agree, Qin Xiaoning continued, "You are the regent king, in charge of the power of the world. If you insist on taking Shen Qingshu's life, I know that I am powerless and cannot stop you, but I will blame you for it. After all, others lost their lives because of me, and I will feel guilty no matter what."

After saying this, she left Lu Ji and walked out of the house.

The weather is fine today, and the warm sun shines on this lush courtyard. The small peonies planted in the courtyard a few days ago have already bloomed with faint buds.

But Qin Xiaoning had no heart to appreciate it. She was sitting in the pavilion depressed when Brother Li, the gatekeeper, came in and reported that Mr. Cai from Jixian Pavilion had arrived.

"Please let him in." Qin Xiaoning said casually.

After a while, Boss Cai followed into the courtyard. Before he even got close, he shouted happily, "Madam Lu, I'm here to tell you the good news."

The old man walked with a happy face and said with a smile: "The lawsuit between me and Mr. Li from Lantingxuan has been decided. The government ordered Mr. Li to return all my calligraphy and painting buildings."

"The verdict was made so quickly." Qin Xiaoning greeted Boss Cai into the pavilion and said in surprise, "Didn't you say a while ago that the government was still dragging its feet?"

"Yes, after all, the new law has not been officially promulgated yet, and the government is saying that old matters should be handled in the old way. Oh, my, I thought I had no choice but to accept the defeat."

The old man drank two sips of tea in a row, then smiled and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that somehow, Mr. Li was suddenly sentenced to return all the calligraphy and painting buildings to me. I heard that Mr. Li will also be sentenced to jail."

"God damn it, this Li is the most sinister. Some time ago, some thief broke his leg, and now he's been sued and has to go to jail. It's really a case of evil getting evil, it's so refreshing!"

After listening to Boss Cai's rambling, Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but think more.

In order to vent her anger, Mr. Wei secretly ordered someone to break Mr. Li's legs. Then the government ruled that Mr. Li lost the case so quickly and sentenced him to jail.

Who could be the person behind this?
