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

Chapter 182 You really protect her

Mengru saw that Lu Shanyuan and Xia Jianglian came to her together. Their faces were not good-looking, and their soft waist was bent and they were about to salute when Lu Shanyuan grabbed her arm and lifted them up.

"Did you poison the Qin family?"

Meng Ruyi was startled, tears welled up to cover up the panic in her eyes, and she threw herself into Lu Shanyuan's arms: "Master Hou, you are so kind to me, mother and son, why would I harm my mistress? Besides, you have promised to do it when she dies. "Fuzheng concubine, why should I take this risk?"

Xia Jianglian was extremely angry.

How shameless!

Lu Shanyuan was a little embarrassed, after all, in front of Xia Jianglian.

He quickly pushed her away: "Mo nonsense, when did I say I would straighten you up?"

If she had been living as the Miss Zhao family, she might become a stepmother, but if it was revealed that the second wife was an official slave, how could she still be the first wife?
According to Dali law, a concubine can never be raised as a bride.

What's more, he has already married the most satisfactory step-in-law, so how can he make the family uneasy again?

Lu Shanyuan was still awake at this point.

Xia Jianglian felt more comfortable and was too lazy to watch her act anymore.

"Meng, Lu Wan has made it known to the public that you killed your mother, and now she is beating the drum to ask His Majesty to allow Qin to reconcile with the Marquis. If the matter is true, the Marquis will lose his face, and even the Marquis will I’m afraid there’s no guarantee! You must tell the truth so that Mr. Hou can be prepared.”

Meng Ruyi was seducing Lu Shanyuan with all her strength, and when she heard this, she was stunned.

Turning to look at Xia Jianglian: "Is she going to play the Dengwen drum? Isn't she getting married today?"

"Hmph, she hated the person who killed her mother so much that she specially chose the day of Yuci's wedding to beat the drum. Now, thousands of people are watching in front of Xuande Gate, and the whole capital knows about the scandal of our Lu family!"

Xia Jianglian was speechless and glanced at Lu Shanyuan. Why did he fall in love with such an unworthy bitch?

Lu Shanyuan's face was gloomy. He was just angry when he heard it at first, but now he calmed down and realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Honestly!" Lu Shanyuan grabbed Meng Ruyi's collar with a cannibalistic look in his eyes: "Are you killing Qin? How?"

Meng Ruyi stared intently at the man in front of her who once doted on him, but now his face looked extremely cruel to her.

Tears of sadness and grievance fell down: "I didn't."

Lu Shanyuan frowned.

Xia Jianglian knew that she would not tell the truth, so she pulled Lu Shanyuan's sleeve: "Master Hou, after all, she is the daughter of the Lu family, why don't we go and take a look. Even if she asks for peace and divorce, we have to act like a loving father and mother. Enough is done.”

Lu Shanyuan nodded: "You are absolutely right. We will leave immediately."

He threw away the dream in his hand and walked away.

Xia Jianglian glanced coldly at the woman who collapsed on the ground and stared at her viciously: "Lock the door!"

Meng Ruyi watched helplessly as the door was locked and she sat naked on the ground.

He murmured: "Bang the drum? Make peace? That bitch of the Qin family wants to make peace?"

Xia Jianglian grabbed Lu Shanyuan and whispered: "Master Hou, let's change into casual clothes. This girl Lu Wan is crazy. If she makes trouble with us in public, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. We just need to find out who she is. Is there any evidence and a way to deal with it?”

"You are still thoughtful." Lu Shanyuan was very pleased and took Xia Jianglian's hand, "Let's go change together."

……

Xie Huaiyu was shocked when he heard the news outside his grandmother's door.

He quickly left the house quietly and ran all the way to Xuandemen. He squeezed to the edge of the stage and stared at the strong back.

He remembered a lot.

The first time he met Lu Wan was because his grandmother asked him to get close to Lu Wan, and for the Xie family and his Xijue to find a way to win her heart, marry her, and gain the support of Duke Qin.

But the first time he saw her, he was stunned and even moved. He didn't even remember what Yu Churong said beside him at that time. He only remembered that she looked back at him after seeing the poem Bichan handed her. A smile.

At that moment, his heart seemed to have stopped. He remembered that after receiving Bichan's letter, he went to the snack shop early in the morning to buy her favorite snacks. When he stopped her carriage with a hot oil paper bag and handed it to her, his apricot eyes as bright as stars were full of surprise. He looked at him with a shy smile.

At that moment, he was happy in his heart.

He remembered that after she fell in love with him, she took the initiative to ask him to meet. Listening to her unrestrained and free words made him feel that the girl in front of him was different, and the two had a great time chatting.

At that moment, he was willing to marry her.

He remembered that one time Yu Churong cried and complained that he was bullied by Lu Wan and his arm was bruised. He was filled with anger and wanted to talk to her, but Yu Churong held him back and said that he did not want to embarrass his cousin.

At that moment, he was not angry because of Yu Churong, but because the perfect Lu Wan seemed to have a hole in his heart, and he was eager to repair it.

Later, for some unknown reason, gradually, the gap between the perfect Lu Wan in my mind became wider and wider. Maybe it was because Yu Churong was crying more and more.

He began to give Yu Churong good words and even took her to buy beautiful jewelry, all because he wanted to make amends for Lu Wan. I don't know when he started to feel confused about himself. He didn't know whether he really liked Lu Wan, or whether he wanted to express his love for Lu Wan because he had to marry her.

Ever since Lu Wan broke off all grudges with him, he discovered that the flawless Lu Wan of the past was back.

But it became increasingly clear to him that he was truly moved.

He didn't understand until today.

Yu Churong is a dodder flower, while Lu Wan is a dazzling and strong camellia.

……

Xie Zhiyan entered the palace and saw Emperor Heng lying on the imperial concubine's chair while the palace maid massaged his temples.

Emperor Heng heard the sound of footsteps and opened his eyes slightly. When he saw it was him, he immediately became angry: "Aren't you on behalf of Xie Zhiyan to welcome the bride? Why do you let her come here and cause such mischief?"

Xie Zhiyan lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee: "The humble minister is here to receive his punishment."

"There's no point in punishing you!" Emperor Heng grabbed a tea cup and smashed it over. The scalding water splashed in the air. With a bang, the tea cup shattered into pieces in front of Xie Zhiyan's feet.

The chamberlains and maids did not dare to say a word.

Xie Zhiyan's expression remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, Weichen's massage skills are excellent. Are you willing to give it a try?"

Emperor Heng glanced at him sideways and snorted.

Xie Zhiyan stood up and walked over, and the chamberlain quickly got out of the way.

His slender and powerful fingers pressed Hengdi's temple accurately, and the strong but gentle force made Hengdi very satisfied.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty has set an example for all loving fathers in the world by allowing the eldest princess to reconcile. Lu Wan's deceased mother was the only daughter of the Duke of Qin. If this is true, and the Lu Mansion has been in decline for a long time and is of little use to your Majesty, why not just go with the flow and comply with the voice of the people? , to bring order to the chaos.”

Emperor Heng narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"Your Majesty has taken this position by virtue of his own strength, but you still worship the late emperor. Therefore, Qin Lao Taijun's son was given by the late emperor. If you turn a blind eye, does anyone think that your majesty is doing it in a positive way and in a negative way?"

Emperor Heng glared angrily and sat up: "You are so presumptuous!"

Xie Zhiyan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am a very loyal minister, and I only want to share your worries."

"Hmph! If you want to share my worries, you should send Xie Zhiyan's daughter-in-law to the Xie Mansion for worship!"

Xie Zhiyan did not accept Emperor Heng's objection: "Why don't you order the Kaifeng Mansion to review the case to show fairness? If the evidence is conclusive, Your Majesty does not need to be embarrassed, and the Kaifeng Mansion will deal with the murderer directly. The reconciliation will naturally be agreed to comfort the spirit of Duke Qin in heaven."

Emperor Heng glanced at him: "Bang the drum and stick thirty sticks according to the law. Do you want me to bend the law for personal gain?"

"My lord, take the rest for her."

Emperor Heng stared at the black hat on his head and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You really protect her. If I hadn't known that you were an eunuch, I would have suspected that you liked her."

"Your Majesty made fun of Wei Chen again. Wei Chen does not want to harm women."

"Okay. Order the Kaifeng Mansion to review the case. As for you, just finish the unfinished punishment she has received in front of this door."

"Wei Chen obeys your orders."
