Chapter 232: Her Husband Wants to See Her
September 22, 2024
Just as she touched it, Yan Niangzi suddenly withdrew her hand, casually wiping away the tears at the corner of her eye, and calmly sat back down on the meditation cushion.
"Meng Xiaojiu, if you're going to lie, at least come up with a plausible story. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Meng Qianqian thought, I'm not lying to you. These days, no one believes the truth anymore?
However, your reaction is a bit over the top.
Could it be that we know each other? And that our relationship is not ordinary?
Meng Qianqian's head started to hurt again.
Damn this incomplete memory!
Meng Qianqian calmed herself and spread her hands towards Yan Niangzi, "I've said all that I should. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Yan Niangzi clenched her fingers, and a hint of suppressed cold laughter glinted in her reddened eyes, "You're asking me to believe that after Chu Madam's death, she became a seventeen or eighteen-year-old merchant girl? This is too far-fetched. If you told a six-and-a-half-year-old child that she was reincarnated, that would be more believable than this story."
Meng Qianqian knew that Yan Niangzi wouldn't easily believe her, so she didn't explain further.
Hearing the whistle from the courtyard, Meng Qianqian curled her lips slightly.
Taner had given her the signal, and Bai Yuwei had been successfully found.
From the start, she hadn't expected Yan Niangzi to believe her. She only wanted to buy more time for Taner, allowing her to take down Yan Niangzi's expert.
But with an ordinary identity, she couldn't possibly hold Yan Niangzi off for long. After much consideration, she decided to gamble with the identity of Chu Madam.
It seemed that she had won this gamble.
"Then, Yan Niangzi, I bid you farewell."
Meng Qianqian stood up and nodded slightly towards Yan Niangzi, then left Wan Hua Tower without looking back.
A man in black stumbled into the room, "Madam, that little maid tricked us... We don't know what she did, but suddenly, we couldn't move..."
Yan Niangzi shot out a silver needle, piercing the man's neck and leaving a small insect-like mark, "You've been poisoned with a toad venom."
If Meng Qianqian were here, she would have recognized that Yan Niangzi was also using the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.
The man in black regained his inner strength and said with a grim face, "Madam, let me go and bring them back!"
Yan Niangzi education necessary, "No need."
The man in black hesitated, "Then..."
Yan Niangzi bit her finger, "Go outside first. I need some time alone to clear my thoughts. Don't let anyone disturb me."
The man in black had followed Yan Niangzi for a long time, and for the second time, he saw hesitation and anxiety on her face, even though she tried to hide it.
But the moment she bit her finger, it showed that she was already extremely flustered inside.
The last time she was in such a state was when news of the Chu family's extermination at the border reached them.
"Should I report this to the Chancellor...?"
"I said I need some time alone!"
Yan Niangzi's eyes turned bloodshot, and she stabbed a silver needle into the man's neck, just a little, causing a scarlet drop of blood to appear.
She withdrew the needle, straightened her collar, and said calmly, "Yan Shi, you go first."
Yan Shi bowed and said, "Yes."
...
Liu Qingyun and Bai Qingchen waited in the carriage, and although it hadn't been long, for Liu Qingyun, it felt like an eternity.
"I shouldn't have let her go with Taner!"
Liu Qingyun lifted the curtain and was about to look for Meng Qianqian. Just then, Meng Qianqian and Taner walked towards them.
Taner was carrying Bai Yuwei, who was fast asleep on her back.
Liu Qingyun's heart relaxed.
Bai Qingchen quickly jumped down from the carriage and took Bai Yuwei from Taner's back.
Meng Qianqian let Taner enter the carriage first before following.
Han Ci, who had been waiting nearby, finally felt relieved.
Meng Qianqian lifted the curtain and nodded gratefully at him.
Han Ci understood and urged, "Let's go back quickly. I'll head to the bazaar district."
He was going to the bazaar district to check if the Fourth Young Master had dealt with the pimp and to ensure that the news didn't spread.
Meng Qianqian sincerely said, "Thank you."
Han Ci acknowledged her gratitude without refusing and quickly left with the Golden Armor Guards towards the bazaar district.
Meng Qianqian and her group quickly returned to the Governor's Mansion.
Bai Qingchen carried her sister back to the courtyard, "I'll go and call a doctor."
Meng Qianqian said, "I am a doctor."
Bai Qingchen performed a Miaojiang greeting, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."
He waited outside while Meng Qianqian and Liu Qingyun stayed in the room.
Meng Qianqian had arrived just in time. When Taner found Bai Yuwei, the old nurses at Wan Hua Tower hadn't had a chance to torture her yet. They had only just forced half a bowl of medicine down her throat.
As for what kind of medicine it was, Taner wasn't sure.
Additionally, Bai Yuwei had a few scratches on her elbows and forehead, probably sustained before entering Wan Hua Tower. There was also a palm print on her face, most likely from being slapped by the pimp.
Meng Qianqian cleaned her wound and applied a golden wound ointment.
"How is it?"
Liu Qingyun asked.
Meng Qianqian replied truthfully, "The external injury isn't too serious, but your sister was forced to consume a significant amount of incapacitating poison and bone-weakening powder. It seems that Wan Hua Tower wanted her to wake up quickly, so they also made her ingest an emesis potion."
Liu Qingyun inquired, "Will she be fine once she vomits it out?"
Meng Qianqian shook her head. "It's hard for her to vomit it all out in her current state, and there's a risk of choking, which could lead to suffocation. I'll stay with her tonight."
Liu Qingyun glanced at Meng Qianqian's hand. "You're injured yourself."
Meng Qianqian smiled. "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Liu Qingyun glared at Bai Yuwei with frustration. "You stubborn girl, always causing trouble for others!"
Feeling unsatisfied, Liu Qingyun called for the brother outside.
"How did you let your sister leave the mansion? She's so impulsive, and now she's gone missing... If you dare let her cause more trouble, I'll send both of you back to Miaojiang!"
"Yes, I understand my mistake, Uncle."
"Hmph!"
Liu Qingyun stormed off.
Moments later, she returned with a stern expression. "You go and get some medicine for Qianqian!"
Bai Qingchen went to his courtyard and fetched some high-quality Miao medicine. Then, he bowed solemnly to Meng Qianqian. "Sister-in-law, I will forever remember your life-saving grace towards my sister."
Meng Qianqian said, "We're family, no need for formalities. I see you're all sweaty; go change your clothes, and I'll take care of things here."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
After Bai Qingchen left, Liu Qingyun also departed. She went to Tinglan Courtyard to accompany the grandmother.
Ban Xia entered with a set of dry clothes. "Miss, you should change too."
"Mm-hmm."
Meng Qianqian nodded.
Ban Xia fetched water and helped her wash her hands, saying with concern, "Miss, why did you go to such lengths to save Miss Bai? You even injured yourself. Miss Bai might not appreciate it. Don't you remember Lu Linglong?"
Lu Linglong was once Meng Qianqian's little sister-in-law, whom Meng Qianqian treated like her own sister. But how did Lu Linglong repay her sister-in-law? Most likely, Bai Yuwei would be the next Lu Linglong.
Meng Qianqian smiled. "Whether Bai Yuwei becomes the next Lu Linglong or not, I don't care at all."
Ban Xia was puzzled. "Why?"
Meng Qianqian calmly replied, "In the Governor's Mansion, my grandfather, mother-in-law, and husband all sided with me. When Bai Yuwei caused trouble, it was never me who was punished. As the saying goes, one cannot exhaust one's blessings, monopolize one's advantages, or be overly greedy for merit. I've already gained so much; there's no need to seek perfection in everything."
Ban Xia tilted her head. "True, as long as the husband treats you well, that's all that matters!"
Meng Qianqian: I said so much, and you only heard 'husband'...
Ban Xia turned her head. "Husband! You're here!"
"Mm-hmm."
Lu Yuan nodded, lifted the curtain, and entered without even glancing at Bai Yuwei. He sat down beside Meng Qianqian, his face cold as he stared at her left hand, which was wrapped in bandages.
Ban Xia tactfully left the room.
Meng Qianqian said, "About my sister..."
Lu Yuan: "I didn't ask about her."
Meng Qianqian looked at his furrowed brows and asked softly, "Then why are you like this?"
Lu Yuan spoke coldly. "Meng Xiaojiu, did I not tell you that after marrying me, everything about you belongs to me?"
"Hmm?"
Did he really say that?
Lu Yuan asked, "Who gave you permission to use the self-inflicted wound scheme?"
Meng Qianqian blinked. "Did Han Ci tell you? Let me explain... I actually..."
Before she could finish, Lu Yuan grabbed her wrist. His long fingers moved, attempting to remove her bandages.
Meng Qianqian held his hand. "Don't look."
Lu Yuan said, "I am your husband, and I will look if I want to."
"Mmm," Meng Qianqian shook her head in refusal.
"Let go."
Lu Yuan spoke sternly.
Meng Qianqian didn't let go.
Lu Yuan's voice turned cold. "Meng Xiaojiu, if you don't let go, I will look at more than just your hand."
Meng Qianqian spoke softly. "What if I don't?"
Lu Yuan's aura intensified as he stared at her. His phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, and a hint of aggression shone through. "Then I will look at more than just your hand!"
