The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 135 Fighting
Lu Wan was preparing to sleep when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Hearing Shuyu's surprised voice: "Xi Yan? Why are you back? Didn't you stay at home for one night on your mother's birthday?"

"Something happened, something happened in the house."

Xi Yan said anxiously as she walked in and saw Lu Wan sitting on the bed looking at her.

"what happened?"

"Girl, Yu Xiuyan has disappeared. It is said that someone in collaboration with the people in the house kidnapped him."

Lu Wan suddenly sat up straight: "Missed in the house?"

"Aunt Meng said this. Now she is crying and kneeling at the door of the Yishou Hall, kowtowing hard, and begging the old lady to find a way to find her. My mother came to tell me, and I rushed over to take a look. Her forehead was bleeding from the knock. It looks very miserable.”

Lu Wan's starry eyes narrowed slightly: "What a coincidence?"

She deliberately planted a seed of doubt for Mrs. Lu today. It stands to reason that Mrs. Lu would try to find a way to prove it, but by such a coincidence, Yu Xiuyan disappeared?
"Miss, do you want to go over and take a look?" Zhiruo put down the man in his hand.

"Where are Xia Jianglian and her father?"

"The Marquis has not come back, Xia has already gone to the Yishou Hall."

"Since the mistress has come forward, let them make trouble. I'm going to sleep." Lu Wan got into the quilt.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Two stoves were lit in the house, and the windows could only be opened partially to let in a little bit of wind.

The matter of Yu Huanshui has not yet been found out, so he will let Meng Ruyi struggle for a few days.

The Yishoutang turned into a mess.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she stomped on the ground with her cane, but she couldn't say a word.

It was supposed that Lu Shanyuan would be called tomorrow morning to confess his kinship with Yu Xiuyan, but unexpectedly he was missing.

Meng Ruyi came here specially to serve her dinner today and coaxed Yu Xiuyan to play for a while, but Yu Xiuyan pestered her and said that he would sleep with his mother tonight.

Meng Ruyi knelt down and begged her to allow her to sleep with Yu Xiuyan for one night, and she agreed as soon as her heart softened.

Yu Xiuyan's room is in an independent courtyard on the east side of Yishou Hall. It is usually served by two nannies and a maid.

That night, Meng Ruyi said that she wanted to be alone with her son. With the old lady's acquiescence, the three of them went to bed obediently.

This is obviously what Meng Ruyi did!
But she couldn't say anything.

"Mother, madam, I was negligent. I felt someone entering the room while I was sleeping. As soon as I opened my eyes, I was drugged and knocked unconscious. Wuwuwu. My Yan'er was kidnapped like this. ah."

Meng Ruyi cried miserably, holding a white silk handkerchief in both hands, with a pungent smell lingering on it.

Xia Jianglian frowned: "Why don't you report it to the official? If you dare to kidnap people, you are not an ordinary thief."

"No! The Lu family has been busy lately and can no longer bear the trouble." Mrs. Lu immediately refused.

Report to the official?

Are you afraid that people don’t know why?
Xia Jianglian hurriedly admitted her mistake: "Why don't you let the people in the mansion go and look for it quietly? By the way, my father is familiar with an official from the patrol camp. Let him check the city gate to see if there is any possibility of the child getting out?"

Mrs. Lu frowned.

Did Meng Ruyi do this because she knew she would shed blood to recognize her relatives tomorrow?
Therefore, Yu Xiuyan was not of Lu Shanyuan's bloodline, so he simply sent him out of the house.

In this case, why are you looking for it? Wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of trouble alone?
Meng Ruyi cried and said: "Mother, you know that Yan'er is actually the child of the Marquis. I am not exempt from the blame. Please punish me."

Xia Jianglian's eyebrows were beating, knowing that it was one thing, but calling out was another.

Mrs. Lu's face sank: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

There are still a bunch of servants here!

Now Yu Huanshui's matter may not be over yet. I don't know if the Yu family will cause trouble. If it is made public that Yu Xiuyan is Lu Shanyuan's son, then he will be found guilty of adultery!
Xia Jianglian didn't know the little Jiujiu in Mrs. Lu's heart. She observed Mrs. Lu's expression.

Could it be that the old lady didn't want to publicly acknowledge Yu Xiuyan's identity, but just wanted to find an excuse to include it in the family tree to prevent the Lu family's bloodline from being lost?
"Old Madam, Madam, the Marquis is back."

When the servant came to report, he saw Lu Shanyuan's hurried figure not far away.

Xia Jianglian hurriedly stepped forward and took Meng Ruyi's hand: "Good sister, get up quickly, we will send people to find her. You can't solve the problem even if you kneel down."

Meng Ruyi hugged her leg with her backhand and cried: "Madam, please, Brother Yan is just a concubine's bastard with a low status. Please give him a way to live?"

Xia Jianglian froze and immediately understood what she wanted to do.

Lu Shanyuan had already reached the door and heard Meng Ruyi's words.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Brother Yan?" Lu Shanyuan asked anxiously.

When he entered the house, someone told him that Yu Xiuyan had been stolen by thieves.

"Master Hou..." Xia Jianglian was about to explain.

Meng Ruyi leaned over and grabbed the corner of Lu Shanyuan's robe, crying so hard that he couldn't breathe: "Master Hou... Master Hou, please tell your wife, Brother Yan will no longer be included in the Lu family tree. He will not be included in the family tree." Just take my concubine's surname. I don't dare to force it. I just want to keep him alive. Master Hou, he is only five years old."

Lu Shanyuan's heart softened, and he bent down to help her up: "Don't talk nonsense. Madam never said she disowned him."

Meng Ruyi lay delicately in Lu Shanyuan's arms, with blood flowing out of her forehead and intertwined with tears, which made people look pitiful and miserable.

"The thief knows Madam. He said that I will never see Brother Yan again until Madam has a legitimate son."

"Meng Ruyi! What are you talking about?" Xia Jianglian was furious. She didn't expect that Meng Ruyi was so shameless that she dared to frame her in public.

Meng Ruyi hugged Lu Shanyuan's waist: "Master Hou, Brother Yan was born with dystocia. He was born like a kitten and was about to die. It was you who held him and said that he must be saved. He suffered a lot. It’s painful, Lord Marquis, please love him.”

"You!!" Xia Jianglian was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Mrs. Lu was also angry and scolded: "Meng Ruyi, what nonsense are you talking about? When did the Xia family stop letting Brother Yan live!"

Meng Ruyi hurriedly let go of Lu Shanyuan's waist, and kowtowed to Mrs. Lu again: "Old madam, I have nothing left, please..."

Before he finished speaking, his body softened and fell to the ground.

"Ruyi, Ruyi..." Lu Shanyuan was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and picked her up, "Go to the doctor quickly, quickly."

Madam Lu was so angry that her face was livid.

Xia Jianglian clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth with hatred.

Lu Wan huddled under the quilt, listening to Xi Yan lying on the bed and reciting to her everything her own mother had just written to her.

Zhiruo also lay on the side, listening with wide eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your acting skills are getting better and better." Lu Wan smiled.

"No, my mother was stunned."

Lu Wan: "Xia's eyes have been opened."

"Yeah, Xia is so angry that she can't even speak."

Zhiruo was curious: "Xia seems to be quite smart. She has only been in the house for two days, and everyone is praising her."

"You don't understand this. Mrs. Xia relies on money to win the praise of her servants. But no matter how smart she is, she is just a boudoir lady who was born in a merchant family. Before Meng Ruyi entered the Jiaofang Division, she was considered a lady of a wealthy family. I must have seen a lot of overt and covert fighting. Jiaofangsi has been involved in it for so many years, and I don’t know how many tricks he has.”

Zhiruo and Xiyan nodded repeatedly.

"It's okay, let's just watch the fire fight from the other side. Go to bed." Lu Wan pushed her two heads away.
