After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 21 Beat up Lu Lingxiao

The storybook in Meng Qianqian's hand fell on the footstep in front of the bed.

Lu Lingxiao stepped forward, knelt on Meng Qianqian's side with one knee, clasped Meng Qianqian's wrists with both hands, pressed her weakly under him, and looked at her with burning eyes.

Meng Qianqian lay calmly under him, looking at him calmly without any rejection or struggle.

Lu Lingxiao said coldly: "You are really...submissive!"

Her clothes were thick in winter, and she always wore a cloak when going out. At first glance, she didn't look as delicate as Wan'er, but at this moment, Lu Lingxiao held her slender wrist, and felt that it could break if she wasn't careful.

When she first came to the Lu family, he actually looked at her from a distance.

She was a plump little greedy girl. Five years later, she has become so thin...

Lu Lingxiao's big palm held her wrist tightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his drunken red eyes.

But when he thought of her resorting to such unscrupulous means to consummate his marriage, the trace of unbearable feeling in his heart disappeared in an instant!

Even if he treats her rudely, she is asking for it!

Just as Lu Lingxiao raised his hand to tear her clothes off, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

He stopped and slowly raised his head, only to see a man sitting cross-legged on the inside of the bed, holding his arms and staring directly at him.

His tiger body trembled, and he suddenly woke up from the wine: "Great-grandmother?"

It's terrible!

Why is great-grandmother here?

The old lady narrowed her eyes: "Are you bullying Qianqian?"

Lu Lingxiao said hurriedly: "I didn't..."

The old lady aimed at his head, and a big-eared melon called out: "You think I'm blind? I saw it all!"

Lu Lingxiao was beaten until his head buzzed.

"How dare you throw Qianqian down, you brat? I'll let you throw it! I'll let you throw it!"

The old lady fired her bow from left to right, and her ears were beating loudly.

Lu Lingxiao quickly let go of Meng Qianqian, hugged her head and hid from the bed: "Great-grandmother! It's not what you think...you misunderstood..."

"How dare you quibble!"

The old lady also jumped out of bed. She couldn't get enough of slapping her ears. She picked up the laundry stick on the table and beat Lu Lingxiao hard!

Lu Lingxiao didn't dare to fight back and fled all over the house after being beaten. But the house was so small, where could he escape?

"Don't dirty the table!"

Okay, I can't go to the table.

"Get down here!"

You can't hide on the rafters!

"Running so fast, I want to tire myself to death!"

Not faster? !

In the blink of an eye, Lu Lingxiao received several sticks from the old lady.

Great-grandmother's body is much stronger than it was five years ago, and the beating really hurt.

He is a military commander and has experienced greater pain, but being injured on the battlefield is different from being beaten by his great-grandmother. It is very embarrassing!

He clutched his head and ran away, while gritting his teeth and looking at Meng Qianqian who was standing on the bed.

Meng Qianqian had already sat up, eating fried fruit, and tilted her head to watch him being beaten.

Lu Lingxiao gritted his teeth: "This woman..."

In a moment of distraction, the old lady caught him and knocked him down with a sap!

"Bah!"

Lu Lingxiao: "...!"

A quarter of an hour later, the old lady took Lu Lingxiao, who had been beaten all over his head, to Lu Xingzhou's study.

When Lu Xingzhou saw the two of them, his face was filled with astonishment: "Grandma, this is..."

The old lady said fiercely: "Take care of your son! If a son doesn't teach you, it's the father's fault. If this kid dares to attack Qianqian again, I'll beat you up too!"

After the old lady left, Lu Xingzhou looked at his son coldly.

His face was flushed and he smelled of alcohol. It looked like he had drunk too much.

Lu Xingzhou said angrily: "I asked you to move to Qianqian's yard, not to let you go drunk and go crazy!" Lu Lingxiao couldn't tell the difference.

He was... indeed a bit rude just now, but if she hadn't been scheming, why would he be so angry?

Lu Xingzhou said irritably: "Go back to your own yard and reflect!"

Lu Lingxiao left.

Lu Xingzhou looked at his back and flicked his sleeves: "Ignorant!"

The young man asked politely: "Are you saying that the young master is ignorant, or that the young lady is ignorant?"

Lu Xingzhou said: "Both of them are ignorant!"

After a pause, Lu Xingzhou went to Mother Lu's house.

Mother Lu sprained her foot last time and was asked by the old lady to work all morning. It has not recovered yet.

Lu Xingzhou told her about his son: "You should also advise Qianqian not to be petty. Brother Xiao is her husband after all. How can there be any reason to push her husband out?"

What happened today was indeed inappropriate for the son, but it was also inappropriate for the daughter-in-law to always use the old lady as a reinforcement.

The young couple should close the door and settle the matter slowly by themselves. Even if it doesn't work, the parents-in-law will be involved. Now that everyone in the house is aware of the trouble, how could anyone be so embarrassed by her husband?

"knew."

Mother Lu lowered her eyes and responded.

Lu Xingzhou heard her perfunctory and reluctance: "I know you love Qianqian, but Brother Xiao is your biological child after all. You don't want the news of unrest at home and discord between husband and wife to spread and affect his career, right?"

After saying that, Lu Xingzhou stood up and said, "You have someone prepare dinner, and I'll stay here tonight."

Mother Lu's body froze.

The incident of Beiliang spies committing murder on the street caused quite a stir in the capital. At the same time, the story of General Zhenbei's wife sacrificing her life to save others was also widely spread.

Everyone praised the general for having no weaklings, and Lu Lingxiao's reputation among the people also increased.

However, just when the Lu family was complacent, Wang Yushi impeached Lu Lingxiao in a memorial.

It is said that he dotes on concubines and destroys his wife, goes against the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles, is capable but not virtuous, has deficient moral character, and is not worthy of being a third-grade Zhenbei general. Moreover, he knows the law and violates the law. His crime is serious and he should be severely punished!

When asked about the evidence, Wang Yushi straightened his back: "Humph, I saw it with my own eyes! Lu Lingxiao took his wife to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet, and called her Mrs. Lu. On the day he was captured by the assassin, In order to save his wife, he risked his wife’s life! Such a corrupt person, I beg your Majesty to remove him from his official position!”

The young emperor turned his head, glanced at the empty seats behind the curtain, and said to Wang Yushi: "I understand."

After leaving the court, Lu Xingzhou caught up with Wang Yushi and said, "Master Wang, there are many misunderstandings about this matter. Quan Zi..."

"snort!"

Wang Yushi turned his nostrils to the sky and walked away with a puff of his sleeves!

"Father!"

At the entrance of the palace, Lu Lingxiao hurriedly greeted him. He still had a few big bumps on his head, so he wore a bamboo hat to cover it up.

He had already heard about his being admitted from the mouth of the official who came out first.

"Look at the good things you did!" Lu Xingzhou whispered.

"Father…"

Lu Xingzhou said: "Fortunately, the Governor did not come to court today, and His Majesty has not made a decision for the time being. Follow me to the Governor's Mansion immediately."

Lu Lingxiao clenched his fist: "Father, did you ask me to beg that sycophant?"

Lu Xingzhou said: "There is no other way now."

Lu Lingxiao frowned: "Can he stop Wang Yushi?"

Wang Censor was a cool man who refused to accept soft or hard advice. Half of the people in the court were influenced by him, including the governor.

Lu Xingzhou said: "It doesn't matter if he can't stop you. Don't forget, he is also a witness. As long as he insists that the people who went to the Governor's Mansion for the banquet were you and Qianqian, Mrs. Wang's testimony will be self-defeating."

After all, this world favors men, especially a man with high authority.
