After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 3: Provoking a traitor

"Madam, Manager Liu has something to ask you."

The maid's call came from outside the house.

The Lu family values ​​rules and will not easily disturb the masters' meals unless there is an urgent matter.

Mother Lu said to the two of them, "Qianqian, you and Ling Xiao eat first, and I'll go do some errands."

After Mother Lu took Chuntao away, only Meng Qianqian and Lu Lingxiao were left at the dinner table.

Neither of them spoke, and the room was eerily silent.

"What if I care?"

Meng Qianqian suddenly spoke.

Lu Lingxiao realized that she was answering his question just now.

He frowned and said, "You are the eldest young lady of the Lu family. You live a prosperous and charming life in your house. Do you want to eat as much sweet-scented osmanthus cake? Wan'er grew up in the border area. Do you know how much hardship she has suffered over the years?"

Meng Qianqian looked at him and asked in confusion: "Am I the cause of her suffering? If not, why should I let her go?"

Lu Lingxiao's face darkened, he put down his chopsticks and said, "It's just a portion of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. If you eat it, then let the kitchen make another one. Why bother?"

Meng Qianqian said: "She can steal my sweet-scented osmanthus cake today, and she can steal my water chestnut cake tomorrow. If this happens every day, will I have to pick up her leftovers for whatever I want to eat from now on?"

Lu Lingxiao said: "I have given up my position as the head wife to you. Wan'er just wants to eat a piece of osmanthus cake. Is it possible that I have to look at your face?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Thank you husband for remembering that I am the principal wife. Since ancient times, concubines have lived under the authority of the principal wife. Who shouldn't look at the principal wife's face?"

Lu Lingxiao's brows furrowed even more tightly: "Don't speak so harshly..."

Meng Qianqian looked at him seriously: "Which sentence is ugly? Is she a concubine, or does she have to make a living under me?"

"Wan'er is not a concubine!"

"Then what is she? Outer room? Tongfang?"

Lu Lingxiao placed the chopsticks heavily on the table: "Meng!"

Chuntao suddenly opened the curtain and came in, saying in a panic: "Young Master! Young Madam! Stop arguing! Madam fell down!"

The two of them hurriedly went to the outer hall where Mother Lu usually handled general affairs.

Mother Lu was helped to a chair by a servant.

Lu Lingxiao asked worriedly: "Mom, what happened?"

Mother Lu held back the pain and said, "Didn't your grandma, your grandmother, and your second uncle's family go to the temple to offer incense? We were supposed to stay for a few days, so I asked Manager Liu to go to the temple and tell you the news. I missed them. They were rushing home early in the morning, but your wife got sick on the way. I was in a hurry to pick her up and tripped."

Meng Qianqian knelt down and squeezed Mother Lu's foot: "It's sprained. The bones are fine."

Lu Lingxiao also pressed it, and it was indeed the case.

"Mom, what's wrong with great-grandmother?"

Mother Lu said to him: "You have been gone for five years, and you still don't know. You didn't recognize people very much three years ago."

Lu Lingxiao understood and said to Mother Lu, "Mom, I'm going to pick up my great-grandmother."

Mother Lu looked at her painful foot and sighed: "This is the only way. Wait, you bring Qianqian."

Lu Lingxiao glanced at Meng Qianqian, hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

After leaving the courtyard, Meng Qianqian said to Lu Lingxiao: "You go to the door and wait for me. I will go back to Haitang Courtyard to get something."

Lu Lingxiao was a little dissatisfied: "Great-grandmother is ill, and you are still in the mood to get things?"

Meng Qianqian took a baggage.

Lu Lingxiao didn't bother to ask what was in the baggage and ordered the driver to hurry up.

Less than half an hour later, the carriage stopped on the long street with endless traffic.

Lu Lingxiao opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, thought for a moment, and reached out to help Meng Qianqian, but saw Meng Qianqian grabbing the bundle and jumping off the other side.

Meng Qianqian went upstairs like a shooting star.

The second lady was wandering in the corridor in a state of embarrassment. When she saw Meng Qianqian coming over, she immediately felt like she was being pardoned. She folded her right arm and complained: "Why are you here? Look at how your **** tickled me! What a crazy bitch!" "

Meng Qianqian glanced at her coldly: "Second aunt, where is my great-grandmother?"

The second lady pointed to the east and said impatiently: "That wing with the door closed! Ouch - it hurts me so much! Did you come alone? Where is my sister-in-law? Where is Ling Xiao? Doesn't it mean that he has returned to Beijing? ?”

"Second aunt."

Lu Lingxiao also went upstairs.

"Ling Xiao!"

"Second aunt, what happened to your great-grandmother?" "Your great-grandmother suddenly asked to eat Zhou Ji's sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the way. Your grandfather and second uncle were afraid that she would get sick, so they brought her here. There was only the last kilogram left, and they didn't even have money. It’s all paid, you’re so naughty He was stupid and didn't understand the truth. He robbed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and beat him up! If it were an ordinary family... even a noble family would be able to sell me a piece of noodles, but that person is the steward of the Governor's Mansion! We, the Lu family, can’t afford to offend the governor’s people!”

Upon hearing about the Governor's Mansion, Lu Lingxiao's expression became serious.

He had been at the border for five years, but he had never heard of the governor of the capital.

This is a great sycophant that everyone wants to punish. He has been controlling the government, excluding dissidents, causing harm to the country and the people. He has committed countless crimes that are too numerous to list!

Although they both share the surname Lu, the two families are actually not related.

If it were him, it wouldn't be a question of whether he could afford it or not.

This person is ruthless and ruthless, and the people under his command are all domineering and lawless.

…Now there’s some trouble.

"Ling Xiao, think of a solution quickly!"

"Second aunt, don't worry, I'm going to see my great-grandmother first."

After Lu Lingxiao said that, he quickly caught up with Meng Qianqian.

The two came to the door.

Lu Lingxiao raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Great-grandmother, it's me, Ling Xiao, your Xiao'er is back, please open the door!"

"Great-grandmother, please open the door."

"It's me, I'm really back."

No matter how Lu Lingxiao knocked on the door and shouted, there was no movement at the door.

"Did something happen?"

Lu Lingxiao frowned and was about to break in.

Meng Qianqian spoke softly: "Great-grandmother."

The door creaked and opened a small crack.

The old lady was lying on the crack of the door, peeking out furtively.

After seeing Meng Qianqian, she dragged Meng Qianqian in and slammed the door unceremoniously!

Lu Lingxiao: "..."

The old lady drooped her head like a child who had done something wrong: "Qianqian, I wet my pants again."

Meng Qianqian opened the bag and said, "I'll change it for you."

After a while, the old lady came out refreshed.

Lu Lingxiao looked at the old lady who had changed her clothes, and then at Meng Qianqian who was calmly packing her bags, and realized that he had wrongly blamed her just now.

"Who is this kid?"

The old lady frowned and looked at Lu Lingxiao with her gray eyebrows.

Lu Lingxiao said hurriedly: "Great-grandmother, I am your great-grandson, Ling Xiao."

The old lady said: "Aren't you dead?"

Lu Lingxiao was very happy that her great-grandmother still remembered her: "It's a long story."

The old lady made a gesture of rejection: "Then stop talking! Qianqian, let's go!"

The old lady took Meng Qianqian's hand and walked forward.

Just as Lu Lingxiao was about to catch up, the old lady, accompanied by Mr. Lu, came out of a wing at the farthest west end.

The old lady didn't even look at the old lady and Meng Qianqian who passed her by. She hurriedly walked towards Lu Lingxiao, hugged Lu Lingxiao, and started crying:

"Brother Xiao - my grandson - you are back -"

The old lady trembled, stuck out her tongue, and retched: "Ouch—"

After getting on the carriage, the old lady took out the crumpled snacks that had been hidden all morning and handed them to Meng Qianqian, her eyes as clear as a child's.

Manager Liu said that that brat brought a bad woman back.

"Eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake will make Qianqian not sad."

Just take a chance and let me know you're here, okay?
