Chapter 244: Married the Right Man
Chapter 244: Married the Right Man
"Oh, so your man is missing, and you're asking me where he is? How would I know?"
Meng Qianqian found the situation absurd and comical.
She and Lu Lingxiao had severed ties with each other eight hundred years ago, yet Lin Wan'er had the audacity to come looking for her with a pregnant belly, ready to give birth at any moment, and put on a show as if she were catching an adulterer.
"Do you really think you're important? If you can't keep your man, you go around accusing other women. Was it because you were once a concubine and were despised by everyone that you now want to play the role of a wife catching an adulterer when your man goes missing? Do you imagine me as some secret concubine you can't bear to see?"
Lin Wan'er's deepest secret was exposed, and she was stunned.
She began to gesture in sign language.
Meng Qianqian completely ignored her, staring straight into her eyes without any courtesy, and said, "Don't think for a moment that our positions will ever be reversed. I'm telling you, it's never going to happen. I don't want that trash, you took him, and now you expect me to go back and fight you for him? Did you get rained on and forget your umbrella, letting the water seep into your brain?"
Lin Wan'er's chest heaved with anger.
It had to be admitted that Meng Qianqian had changed a lot after getting married.
Back in the Lu family, Meng Qianqian often couldn't be bothered to argue with her. She had thought today would be the same.
After all, she was heavily pregnant, and she didn't believe Meng Qianqian would dare to lay a hand on her.
But she never expected Meng Qianqian to tear apart all her pretenses and curse her with such scathing words.
Lu Luo angrily said, "How dare you speak of my lady like that? My lady is about to give birth, and you're deliberately provoking her! You have such a malicious heart!"
Ban Xia stepped down from the carriage, "Pfft! Knowing she's about to give birth and still causing a scene at someone else's door, and when she can't win, she calls my young miss malicious. Truly shameless and stupid!"
"Well said!"
Taner also jumped down from the carriage, hands on her waist, "If you have no skills, just stay at home. Stop embarrassing yourself in public! We're not interested in your jokes, so scram!"
"You... you..." Lu Luo was furious, "My General was taken away by that vixen!"
Taner slapped Lu Luo across the face, "Who are you calling a vixen?!"
Lin Wan'er coldly gestured, signing, "Last night, the General saw you at the Imperial Banquet and became distracted. Soon after, he left and didn't return all night. How dare you say he didn't go looking for you?"
Meng Qianqian replied indifferently, "If you're sick, go get treated."
"What's happening?"
Lu Yuan emerged with a cold expression and stood beside Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian held onto his arm, "Husband, Lu Lingxiao is missing. She insists that he came to find me and wants me to return him to her. Where am I supposed to find a man to give her?"
Lu Yuan asked Meng Qianqian, "Weren't you with me all last night?"
Meng Qianqian nodded, "Yes, so it's so unfair to me!"
Lin Wan'er was stunned again.
The couple before her was truly Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan? They were so different from her impressions.
She had thought that even if Meng Qianqian had remarried, even if she had the luck to marry Lu Yuan, she would still live a life of extreme humility in the Governor's Mansion, walking on thin ice.
But she never imagined that their relationship would be so natural and loving.
Even in a situation like this, Meng Qianqian spoke without any hesitation, completely unafraid that Lu Yuan would misunderstand.
And indeed, Lu Yuan did not misunderstand.
Meng Qianqian glanced at Lin Wan'er, "She seems to think you should suspect me."
Lu Yuan scoffed, "What's there to doubt? You're not blind, are you?"
Lin Wan'er felt extremely embarrassed.
"That's right!" Taner nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic, and said to Lin Wan'er, "The Grand Marshal is not only handsome and wealthy but also holds a high official position and comes from a good family. Most importantly, he would never look for pleasure outside the home!"
Lin Wan'er's face turned from pale to red in embarrassment.
She had the courage to question Meng Qianqian because deep down, she looked down on women. No matter how great Meng Qianqian's achievements were, she would only see her as a lowly merchant woman who couldn't hold her head high.
But Lu Yuan was different.
She dared not shout at him.
Lu Yuan was in a good mood today, and instead of punishing Lin Wan'er for her loud argument, he even tried to comfort her, "I understand how you feel, but you can think positively. The fact that he hasn't returned all night doesn't necessarily mean he's out seeking pleasure. He might just be dead."
Lin Wan'er: "..."
"Okay, okay! Lu Lingxiao is dead!"
Taner clapped her hands in agreement, but in the next moment, her expression turned dark, "Unfortunately, it wasn't me who killed him!"
Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian entered the mansion.
As soon as they crossed the threshold, Meng Qianqian turned back to Lin Wan'er and said, "Instead of worrying about Lu Lingxiao, you should worry about yourself. I don't know if anything will happen to him, but you'll find out soon enough."
Lin Wan'er gestured in sign language, asking, "What do you mean?"
Meng Qianqian replied calmly, "Be careful of your father-in-law."
Lin Wan'er gestured fiercely, "Don't try to drive a wedge between us!"
Unfortunately, Meng Qianqian didn't even look back as she held Lu Yuan's arm and walked in, completely ignoring Lin Wan'er's sign language.
"Something interesting happened in the palace today."
"Did you beat someone up?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"What do you think?"
Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan's voices gradually faded away, leaving only Lin Wan'er standing there in a daze.
She knew that Lu Yuan had given Meng Qianqian a grand wedding, but it was only to save face for the entire Governor's Mansion, not because he truly liked Meng Qianqian.
Yet, Meng Qianqian was living so well.
A servant approached Lin Wan'er and said, "Madam, please leave. General Lu never came to our Governor's Mansion."
Lin Wan'er snapped out of her daze and finished gesturing, then Lu Luo spoke on her behalf, "Who is in charge of your mansion? My lady has no other intentions. She apologizes for her rudeness today and will come to apologize in person another day."
The servant said, "Young Madam."
Lin Wan'er was surprised, and Lu Luo asked, "Isn't she the Grand Marshal's mother?"
The servant shook his head.
Lu Luo asked, "In that case, won't your lady be unhappy?"
"Our lady is too happy to care."
With the young madam managing the household, the lady can sleep until noon.
Lu Luo asked, "If today's incident reaches your lady's ears, will it cause trouble for your young madam?"
Lu Yuan was bewitched by Meng Qianqian, but Liu Qingyun certainly wasn't.
After all, who would want a second-hand abandoned woman for their son?
The servant's expression was hard to read, "I think it's you who will be in trouble. Take advantage of my lady's ignorance and leave quickly. If she comes out to settle accounts with you later, you'll be in deep trouble. My lady is very fond of the young madam!"
Lu Luo asked, "What about the King of Miaojiang?"
"The King of Miaojiang loves the young madam even more."
Lin Wan'er clenched her fists. Why was she living so well?
Why? Why!
Taner bounced over and asked, "Sister, why did you just tell Lin to be careful of Lu Xingzhou?"
Meng Qianqian said, "I suspect that Lu Lingxiao was hidden by Lu Xingzhou."
