Chapter 66: Qianqian's Fury

Meng Qianqian returned to the Lu family residence.

On her way to visit the elderly matriarch, Lady Lu, she was intercepted by the old lady herself, who hobbled out with her cane, specifically to berate her.

"The Lu family must have been blind to have married you into our household, never realizing you had the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog! For five years, the Lu family treated you well, and yet instead of gratitude, you humiliate Brother Xiao in public! What makes you worthy of him? Just wait until Brother Xiao returns from the border with great achievements. The first thing he'll do is let everyone know that it was he who rejected you, a venomous wife!"

Meng Qianqian couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind.

Lady Lu's fist landed only on air, and her frustration only grew. She continued her tirade, spittle flying from her mouth, "How dare you still have the face to linger in the Lu family home? Pack your bags and get out this instant!"

Meng Qianqian paused in her tracks and replied with a cold smile, "Lady Lu, it seems you've forgotten that this mansion was purchased with my dowry. If anyone should be packing their bags and leaving, it's you."

This sent Lady Lu into a fit of rage!

Meng Qianqian walked away.

Tan'er caught up with her, asking, "Sister! Do you really want this mansion?"

Without hesitation, Meng Qianqian replied, "No."

Tan'er clenched her fists. "Yes! Why would we want a house that the Lus have lived in? It's better to just take back our money!"

The two continued on their way.

Meng Qianqian asked, "Is everything settled?"

Tan'er ran ahead, then turned around, walking backward as she spoke proudly to Meng Qianqian, "All done! Two thousand taels in silver notes and eight thousand taels in silver bullion, all given to Mama Chun! Aunt Li received the deed and the mansion, and Aunt Wan has taken people to clean it up!"

"Did you encounter any trouble?" Meng Qianqian asked.

Tan'er shook her index finger, "Not really! There were a few hooligans who didn't know better, but a punch from me sent them flying!"

Knowing that the Lu family wouldn't let her take the silver so easily, she had left Tan'er behind before going to the temple.

Meng Qianqian nodded in satisfaction.

Tan'er bounced in front of her, resting her small fists on her cheeks, and grinned, "Sister, I want braised pork for dinner today!"

"Alright," Meng Qianqian agreed.

Tan'er, pleased, spread her small arms and spun in a circle where she stood, "Oh, and Sister, that guy called by Liu Changsheng came by. Aunt Li gave him the items. He looks so weak, do you think he can handle those devils and snakes from the Zhao family? Should I go help him out?"

Meng Qianqian calmly said, "Let's see what he's capable of first. If he can't even handle this, then he's not the person I need."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tan'er nodded vigorously.

Meng Qianqian added, "Also, you're too young to be calling people 'lad.' "

Tan'er pouted, looking aggrieved.

"You should leave now, the Old Mistress doesn't want to see you," came the voice of Lark, the Old Mistress's personal maid.

As they turned the corner, they ran into Lin Wan'er and her servant, who had just been chased out.

It seemed like they were seeing ghosts today, first encountering Lady Lu, and now Lin Wan'er. It seemed best to move out sooner rather than later to avoid such unpleasant encounters.

Tan'er laughed, "Well, well, if it isn't the lady who stole someone else's husband, got pregnant, and still calls herself a miss... Lin, the little despicable one?"

Lu Luo was furious. "How dare you speak to me like that?"

Tan'er folded her arms across her chest, "I'm speaking with my mouth, of course. Unless you speak with your backside? No wonder all you say are farts!"

Lu Luo was incensed, unable to win with words or a fight!

Lin Wan'er signed to Meng Qianqian, "The General promised me that when he triumphantly returns to the capital, he will marry me."

In truth, it was Lady Lu who had promised, but the result was the same.

Meng Qianqian replied indifferently, "Congratulations. Since I don't want him anyway, you're welcome to have him. Pick him up if you like."

Lin Wan'er pinched her fingers and signed, "Since it's broken, don't regret it later. When the General returns victorious, don't entangle yourself with him again."

Meng Qianqian smiled, "First of all, there won't be an 'again.' I've never entangled myself with him; it's you who has been doing that. Besides, when it comes to entanglement, you should be the one worried. Perhaps after the battle, he'll bring back a beloved woman from the border."

Tan'er waited by the entrance, pacing back and forth as she awaited Meng Qianqian's return.

"Tan'er." Meng Qianqian called out.

"Sister!" Tan'er scurried over and helped Meng Qianqian down from the carriage. "Guess what I overheard at Lin Wan'er's courtyard?"

Lin Wan'er's courtyard was known as the Maple Court.

Meng Qianqian smiled at Tan'er's excited expression and asked, "From the looks of it, you must have overheard some incredible secret?"

Tan'er puffed out her chest and recounted proudly, "General Lu has gone off to war, yet Old Madam Lu doesn't seem worried at all. Something's not right! So, I sneaked over to the Maple Court and heard Green Lotus asking her mistress, 'Miss, will the item you gave to the General really help him achieve great merit?'"

Meng Qianqian's eyebrows furrowed. "And then?"

Tan'er shrugged. "That's all I could gather. I don't understand sign language."

A sharp glint flashed in Meng Qianqian's eyes, and she quickly strode towards the Maple Court.

Lin Wan'er had just finished bathing and was about to rest when her door was kicked open with a loud bang! Tan'er hovered in mid-air, her feet still dangling.

"What are you doing—?" Green Lotus exclaimed.

Meng Qianqian slapped Lin Wan'er, sending her tumbling to the ground. With a cold gaze, Meng Qianqian demanded, "What did you give to Lu Lingxiao?"
