Chapter 293 Design
"Madam is right...I am indeed Lord Lu's cousin."
Ning Yuer held it in for a long time before finally uttering a word.
Leng Qingyu's smile widened when he heard this. "I knew that Ting En would never do such a treacherous thing. He just took care of you out of pity for you and your son. How could he have any feelings for you?"
Ning Yuer really had no idea what Leng Qingyu was up to, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.
Leng Qingyu continued, "I am actually a soft-hearted person. As long as there is nothing wrong between you and Ting En, I will not kill you."
Ning Yuer finally understood the key point. She looked up at Leng Qingyu and asked incredulously, "Is what you said true?"
Leng Qingyu: "Of course it's true! With your identities, do I have to lie to you?"
Ning Yuer was overjoyed.
She didn't know where Leng Qingyu got the information from.
But as long as she is willing to let them go, Ning Yuer can certainly admit that she has nothing to do with Lu Tingen!
"Madam, I was bewildered for a moment. I heard from Lord Song in the Ministry of Justice that my cousin left a letter when he was alive, intending to pass the mansion to Changning. So I had evil thoughts and insisted that Changning was my cousin's child.
In fact, we have nothing to do with each other!"
"Are all the things you said true? Then were the things you said before deliberately guided by Lord Song from the Ministry of Justice?"
Ning Yuer became alert when she heard this.
Leng Qingyu seemed to be trying to trick him.
But think about it, even if it's just a cliché, so what?
The people in the Ministry of Justice have long since stopped caring about the life and death of mother and son, so don't expect them to protect them now.
"Yes."
She gritted her teeth and answered.
"If it weren't for the deliberate guidance of the people from the Ministry of Justice, how could a weak woman like me have the guts to pretend to be the concubine of the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Okay! In that case, you sign and seal this paper. If the Ministry of Justice wants to bring you to trial, you will need to confront Lord Song in court!"
"This……"
Ning Yuer hesitated for a moment.
Confront the people from the Ministry of Justice in court?
So can she get any advantage?
Leng Qingyu seemed to be afraid that she would not agree, so he immediately said, "As long as you are willing to come to the court as a witness, I am willing to arrange a place for you to live in the back of the palace, and all your food and drink expenses will be the same as those of the girls in the palace."
This sentence has great appeal to Ning Yuer.
According to Leng Qingyu, she could not only stay in the capital, but also enjoy the same treatment as a noble.
"But why did Madam Lu do this? Doesn't Madam Lu hate me anymore?"
Ning Yuer asked.
Leng Qingyu snorted and said, "My hatred for you mainly stems from my feelings for Ting En. If you are really his mistress, I will never let you go no matter what.
But since you are not, there is no need for me to worry about it.
The most important thing now is to restore Tin's reputation. We cannot let Tin's back be stabbed after his death, saying that he is a hypocrite who abandoned his wife and children and a real villain.
One more thing,"
Leng Qingyu paused and said, "You are Ting En's relatives after all. He wanted to take care of you when he was alive, and I can't let you lie dead on the street after he dies."
Ning Yuer blinked.
She didn't believe Leng Qingyu would be so kind.
But she believed the first half of Leng Qingyu's words.
No matter what Lu Tingen is like, Leng Qingyu only hopes that Lu Tingen has a good reputation, so that Leng Qingyu will not be embarrassed in front of others, and it will not affect the reputation of the Lu family's children.
That's why she needs my cooperation.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuer suddenly straightened her back.
Since Leng Qingyu can be of use to me, there is no need for me to be so servile.
"Madam Lu, is your word real? If I confront Lord Song and prove that I am not the Marquis's concubine, will Madam Lu continue to support us?"
Leng Qingyu looked at Lu Changning and said, "Not only can I support you and your son, but I can also let your son go back to school!"
"That's a deal!"
As if afraid that Leng Qingyu would go back on his word, Ning Yuer agreed immediately.
"Okay, then you will live in the backyard until the matter of the Ministry of Justice is dealt with. Once the matter is resolved, you can move out!"
"it is good!"
Ning Yuer agreed.
Leng Qingyu arranged for the maid to take the mother and son to the room in the backyard where the old lady had lived.
He also sent seven or eight maids to serve her closely.
Not only were they provided with delicious food and drink, but they were also served very attentively.
They washed and massaged the feet, and even the bedding was warmed up by ten heaters before going to bed.
Lu Changning had never enjoyed such treatment before.
The next day, he asked Ning Yuer with a guilty conscience: "Mother, why did Madam Lu do this to us? Does she have some plan that we don't know about?"
Ning Yuer glanced at her son and praised him, "People who study have good brains. Look at you. You saw that this was not normal at once!"
After praising her, she continued, "Do you think Madam Lu will really help us? She is doing this now just to ask me to help her clarify your father's affairs!
Once things are settled, she will definitely turn against you!"
"What should I do?" Lu Changning looked embarrassed. "Do I really have to go to court with Lord Song and admit that you are not my father's mistress?"
Ning Yuer sighed and wanted to sit down, but her butt hurt so much that she had to continue standing and said, "What can we do if we don't admit it? Now we are like fish on someone else's chopping board. They can kill us at will.
Fortunately, she values her reputation and regards cousin Tin'en's feelings as more important than her life, otherwise, we wouldn't even have this chance."
"After that, won't I never have the chance to return to the Lu Mansion again?"
Speaking of this, Lu Changning still felt a little regretful.
Ning Yuer quickly comforted him, "Silly child, we have to look forward. Your sister will soon be the Third Prince's consort. With this relationship, what does the Lu Mansion count as?
As long as we can stay in the capital and wait for your sister to get married, that will be our day to turn things around.
There will be no need for her to chase us away. Even if she begs us to stay, I won’t even look at her.”
"But my sister told us to leave the capital yesterday."
Lu Changning was a little worried.
Ning Yuer said, "Don't be afraid, this place is not far from your sister's yard. When she knows that we are staying, she will definitely come to see us.
I will discuss future matters with your sister then."
……
The mother and son lived in the yard for two days.
But Lu Zhiyi never showed up.
It was not until the morning of the third day that Lu Zhiyi came to the yard angrily. The first thing he asked when he entered the door was: "Why are you living here? What did you do?"
