I don’t think duke liked mingzu that much before....he also didn’t spend that much time with her..so its his…
Yes, he is not close to the girl as he has always been away fighting the enemies. In the novel, he sent her back to her family when she was caught giving Shen Yun the direction to Yining's place.
However, this drama shows it was LJX who met up with Yining.
Did the duke and fl's mother love each other? Just want a yes/no answer
The novel hinted there were feelings developed between the Duke and Madam Gu.
But, Madam Gu had another daughter aged ten which explained she couldn't leave the Luo family easily.
In the novel, Concubine Qiao was a prostitute and uneducated unlike Madam Gu. MG was a kind woman who let her husband bring back the woman into her household and yet, she was accused of trying to harm CQ's newborn which is odd because it was a baby girl, not a baby boy!
Oh...here we go! Round One LYN & LSY: Yeah, they got all their ducks in a row for this Law-and-Order segment.…
Duke Ying is the bio Papa of LYN. He and his buddies were out hunting bandits one day but he was injured. His guard, a fierce one, went to snatch any woman to attend the poor guy.
Madam Gu was the poor lady. She was estranged from 2nd Master Luo at that time and was staying at the side villa. When she was 'kidnapped' by Duke Ying's men, she didn't mind to remain to take care of Duke Ying since she was told that they were soldiers hunting down the bandits and etc.
The novel didn't say much about Duke Ying and Madam Gu but from the side story, it hinted that Madam Gu developed feelings for him.
One day, the food supply ran out in the cave while Duke Ying's guard was out. He thought he had enough energy to go out hunting for food so off he went and hunted down a deer. He drank the deer blood to make himself better but too much consumption led to him feeling 'peekish' so LYN was conceived.
When he woke up, he realised what had happened and apologised for his action and wanted to marry Madam Gu. But, she turned him down even though he told her he wouldn't mind she was a married woman because he knew she was unhappily married.
A few days later, Madam Gu disappeared. Duke Ying tried searching for Madam Gu but failed since he didn't know her true identity.
Until LJX came back from his visit to the Luo mansion one day where he noticed LYN and the little mole on her face which resembled her real dad's feature.
Honestly, the novel is rather boring compared to the drama. I prefer the drama as it is more exciting.
If you read the chapter in the novel, you'll laugh until your stomach hurts on how he did the matchmaking.

I hope he won't die in the end.
In the novel, he was even cooler.

However, Duke Ying will marry Miss Yang, I bet!
