Chapter 82: Good Things Are Near
Chapter 82: Good Things Are Near
A myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she forced herself to calm down, signing, "Who told you it was an assassination order? Did you use it?"
Lu Lingxiao, feeling irritated, said, "No, someone took it from me."
Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered how Meng Qianqian had come to Fengyuan and interrogated her. She quickly asked, "Was it the Meng family?"
Hearing the name 'Meng family' made Lu Lingxiao feel uncomfortable. The last time she mentioned Meng Qianqian, she had referred to her as the eldest young mistress.
The speaker may have been unintentional, but the listener read into it. The humiliation of Meng Qianqian divorcing him was like a form of psychological torture, playing over and over in his mind.
Seeing that he tacitly agreed, Lin Wan'er quickly signed, "Not long after you left for the battle, she came looking for me and started a fight with me and Lu Luo. She forced me to tell her what I gave you. Did she go to the border to find you? The two of you..."
Lin Wan'er was on the verge of tears, looking utterly wronged.
Lu Lingxiao, both soft-hearted and annoyed, said, "I have nothing to do with her!"
Lin Wan'er, on the verge of tears, signed, "Is that really true? Then why did she go to the border to find you? Why did she turn the rescue order into an assassination order and use it to drive a wedge between us? Do you believe her and think I want to harm you?"
"I don't believe..."
Lin Wan'er continued, "You didn't believe me, but as soon as you came home, you started questioning me?"
Lu Lingxiao countered, "Didn't you ask me first?"
Wait, how did they even start arguing? He couldn't remember at all.
Lin Wan'er continued her interrogation, "While you were at the border for so many days, where did she stay? Was she staying in a tent like yours? Was she still by your side, acting as if she was the general's wife?"
As she spoke, her accusations became more and more outrageous, and Lu Lingxiao couldn't bear to listen anymore. "She's Lu Yuan's bodyguard! She doesn't need to act like she's my wife!"
Just the name 'Meng Xiaojiu' was enough to make the entire army respect her.
Lin Wan'er didn't pay attention to the second sentence at all. Her attention was completely captured by the words 'Lu Yuan'.
As for the word 'bodyguard', she felt that Lu Lingxiao had misspoken, and what he meant to say was 'maid'.
Lin Wan'er was taken aback and signed, "She left Lu Lang not long ago, and now she's gone to rely on Lu Yuan? As a woman, how could she..."
"Lin jiejie (older sister Lin)."
A voice as clear as an oriole interrupted Lin Wan'er. Xiao Die approached them and said, "I know I shouldn't be interrupting you, but there's something I want to say, and I'm not sure if I should."
"Speak!" Lu Lingxiao urged.
Lin Wan'er was taken aback.
Xiao Die said, "Lu gege (older brother Lu), I've learned quite a bit about the affairs of the court on our journey here. That person called Lu Yuan must be the Grand Marshal who holds sway over the empire, right? And the Meng family that Lin jiejie mentioned must be the former eldest young mistress. Am I right?"
Lin Wan'er signed, "You understand sign language?"
Xiao Die replied, "Lu gege has been teaching me on our way back to the capital. What I want to say is, Lin jiejie, you come from a military family and have powerful and influential father and brothers to support you. Later, you met Lu gege, who is a reliable and upright man. You can't understand how difficult it is for a woman with no one to rely on to survive in this world. Perhaps, the eldest young mistress was coerced by the Grand Marshal. I believe that someone who can become Lu gege's wife must have a good nature."
These words struck a chord with Lu Lingxiao.
His constant quarrels with Meng Qianqian were always because of her playful nature, her jealousy towards Lin Wan'er, and her lack of consideration for him as her husband.
However, these were just personality flaws at worst and not signs of bad character.
Furthermore, compared to Meng Qianqian actively seeking out Lu Yuan, it was easier for Lu Lingxiao's pride to accept that she was coerced by Lu Yuan.
Xiao Die continued, "Lu gege, Lin jiejie is pregnant. My mother said that pregnant women tend to have a lot of wild thoughts, and men should be more understanding."
These words were no different from Lin Wan'er's attempt at persuading Lu Lingxiao: "The young mistress is still young, so please bear with her."
Lin Wan'er's chest tightened with distress.
Lu Lingxiao glanced at her slightly protruding belly and realized that he had indeed lost his temper too much tonight and shouldn't have spoken to her like that.
He sighed, "You go back and rest first. I'll come and see you tomorrow."
All he wanted tonight was to be alone with his thoughts.
Xiao Die chased after him into the courtyard. "Brother Lu, wait for me! Don't go to sleep yet. You haven't eaten dinner, so I'll make a couple of pancakes for you. Eat them before you sleep! Do you want chili with them?"
"No chili."
"Okay!"
Listening to the voices of the two, Lin Wan'er felt as if she had been abandoned on the street, and a deep sense of grievance and annoyance welled up in her heart.
Lu Luo was furious and cursed angrily, "Who can't see through her little tricks? She's a vixen who only knows how to seduce men! Yuck!"
With a complicated expression, Lin Wan'er returned to Feng Yuan.
Lu Luo, thinking that she was upset because of Lu Lingxiao and that little vixen, consoled her, "Miss, she's just a wild girl. We drove away the young mistress, so what do we have to be afraid of?"
Lin Wan'er didn't respond.
She was indeed very angry that Lu Lingxiao had brought a woman back, but at this moment, she was more concerned about the matter of the token.
She hadn't told Lu Lingxiao the details of that night. When Meng Qianqian came to see her, she seemed convinced that Lin Wan'er hadn't given Lu Lingxiao anything valuable. After she drew the token and the firework signal, Meng Qianqian even slapped her and called her a "stupid fool."
Combined with Lu Lingxiao's words tonight, it seemed that at that time, Meng Qianqian had already recognized the token as the Hundred-Mile Assassination Order.
Why would she recognize the Black Armor Guard's token?
What is her relationship with the Black Armor Guard?
No, it was clearly a rescue order... How did it become an assassination order?
Lin Wan'er bit her finger.
Wind and Water Hutong.
After a day of struggling to protect Baoshu from Tan'er's hands, she fell asleep in her chair during dinner.
It was truly rare for the energetic Baoshu to be this exhausted.
"I won! Baozhu Piggy, your delicious big chicken leg is mine now!"
Tan Er picked up the large chicken leg from Baoshu's bowl and took a triumphant bite. But soon, she frowned, "Why does it taste so bad?"
Meng Qianqian smiled, "Baoshu's food doesn't have much flavor."
Tan Er was about to throw the chicken leg away.
Meng Qianqian stopped her, "No wasting food."
Tan Er pouted unhappily.
Fine, she would have to eat the chicken leg she had fought for, even if it meant crying while eating it!
That night, Qing Shuang came over.
"Miss Meng, I'm here to pick up Miss Baoshu. Oh, Miss Baoshu has fallen asleep so early."
According to Yan Niangzi, Miss Baoshu often played until midnight, driving everyone crazy.
Meng Qianqian replied, "Perhaps she's tired from playing."
Qing Shuang said strangely, "Your family is really something."
Meng Qianqian looked puzzled, "Hmm?"
"Never mind." Qing Shuang hugged the little one, who was sleeping with her fists clenched above her head, and said, "Miss Meng, I'll take my leave now."
Qing Shuang brought Baoshu back to the Governor's Mansion and looked at Cen Guanshi, who was waiting at the door. She asked curiously, "Cen Guanshi, since Miss Meng has already moved out of the Lu family, why must we bring Miss Baoshu back? Are you afraid that place is haunted?"
Cen Guanshi glanced at Baoshu, "What ghost can be more fierce than this little master? Besides, that place isn't haunted. It's the old residence of a deceased friend, and the first Black Armor Guard walked out from that very mansion."
Qing Shuang: You guys are speaking in riddles again.
Cen Guanshi smiled, "Just bring her back every night. Perhaps, good things are near for our Governor's Mansion."
