After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 16 Wife and Concubine

In the Dudu Mansion, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

A sneaky little figure crept out of the basket and snuck into the small kitchen.

When no one was prepared, he grabbed a big chicken leg!

However, when Baoshu climbed back into her house carrying the big chicken legs, she was horrified to find that her basket was missing!

The cheap daddy is gone too!

"Whoa!"

Baoshu is going crazy!

…

Since Baoshu is not here, there is no need for Governor Lu to stay in Haitang Courtyard.

He threw most of the storybook he had read back on the bedside table and stood up calmly.

His tall and slender body blocked the dim candlelight behind him. His angular and handsome face was shrouded in the darkness, and his pair of narrow phoenix eyes were piercing in the dark night.

Meng Qianqian asked calmly: "Will you come back in a while?"

If she doesn't come, she's asleep.

Governor Lu sneered and looked at her condescendingly: "It's daybreak now and then, how do you find it easy to be the governor?"

Meng Qianqian looked at the storybook he had thumbed through and blinked calmly.

Governor Lu bent his noble waist, and a strong sense of oppression and masculine aura hit his face.

He pinched her chin with his bone-cold fingers and smiled playfully: "Or do you want everyone to see me come out of your room? I don't care, I don't know if you will How about being killed by the Lu family?”

Meng Qianqian looked calmly at the most ruthless and merciless minister in the dynasty: "Wealth is sought in danger. If we can get the protection of the governor, why not offend the Lu family?"

Lu Yuan raised her lips and smiled, with a smile full of fierce killing intent: "I will not protect any woman. No matter how great your contribution is, your life or death has nothing to do with this governor."

"You should remember this, I am never a good person."

It wasn't until he left that Meng Qianqian let go of the silver needle she held tightly in her hand.

Her whole back was soaked with cold sweat.

I had long heard that this traitorous minister was moody and ruthless. It was because of Xiao Zhaozhao's presence in the past few days that he had gathered a murderous aura, giving himself the illusion that he might not be as scary as the rumors said.

In addition, he readily agreed to this transaction, which also exacerbated this illusion.

She was too hasty.

How could she, a small businesswoman, reach the sky in one step and reach such a high branch that even the Lu family could not climb?

He brought Baoshu to find her because he was happy to coax Baoshu, not because he was really manipulated by a little baby.

This feared governor has no weaknesses, no fetters, and no feelings.

When Meng Qianqian woke up, everything in the room was restored to its original state. She didn't know how Jin Yiwei moved such large items around. Anyway, it was not something she should worry about.

Nanny Li brought hot water into the room, hung up the curtain, looked at Meng Qianqian's slightly pale face and asked, "Miss, are you having another nightmare?"

Meng Qianqian said without changing her expression: "No, I was late to check the account and didn't sleep well."

Grandma Li said earnestly: "It rained a few days ago, and the wind and cold are just right. Be careful and tired."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "I understand, mama."

Aunt Li brought the clothes over and said, "Miss, I didn't like to listen to slaves talking about me."

Meng Qianqian said: "In the past, Qianqian was young and ignorant, but in her heart she knew that grandma was doing it for my own good."

Grandma Li smiled and said, "This is natural."

The young lady was sensible since she was a child, and she was not spoiled by being held in the palm of her hand until she grew up. However, her temper became much clearer after she fell into the water.

"Miss!" Ban Xia came in carrying a food box, "This servant just came from the kitchen of the palace. They said that the old lady was very angry!"

The old lady got angry, which was expected by Meng Qianqian. However, she thought that the old lady could hold her temper for at least a few days, but she didn't expect that she couldn't calm down at all.

Speaking of which, it was Meng Qianqian who had raised the old lady so well in the past few years in the house, and she got used to it. Suddenly there was no one to pay for it, and she couldn't sit still.

Early in the morning, she actually asked someone to **** the gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse, but the jewelry was of poor quality and old style, and was not worth much.

The old lady then wanted her second husband to cough up some money, but the second lady excused herself and quickly pretended to be sick.

The old lady was so angry that she heard that several dishes were thrown.

"Deserve it!"

Banxia said angrily. Grandma Li hurriedly said: "Keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard!"

Banxia said playfully: "I can save it, mama!"

Meng Qianqian took a sip of tea: "I just vomited out two shops, and I'm so angry. If I take more back in the future, wouldn't it cost my grandmother's life?"

Banxia didn't understand, but Grandma Li's eyes lit up: "Miss..."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Mommy, there's no rush to settle this account. Let's settle it slowly."

After breakfast, Meng Qianqian took Banxia out.

It was known to everyone in the Lu family that the old lady liked obedient books and looked down upon others who bought them. So Meng Qianqian went out to select them in person every one or two months.

Exactly one and a half months have passed since the last time I went to the study.

"Miss, why are the streets full of officers and soldiers?"

"Probably it's almost New Year's Eve, so I'm on patrol."

In this formation, it should be that the two Beiliang spies who escaped from Wanhua Tower have not yet been arrested.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Being able to escape from Jin Yiwei's hands shows his ability.

"Mrs. Lu, are you here to pick up stories for the old lady again?"

The book boy welcomed Meng Qianqian in with a smile.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Do you have any new story books?"

The book boy said with a smile: "Yes! Next spring, many candidates will go to Beijing to take the exam. We have so many books!"

Ban Xia wondered: "These candidates are not busy preparing for the Spring Festival, but they are leisurely writing storybooks? The two young masters of the Lu family are studying in the Imperial College and have no time to go home!"

The book boy said politely: "Miss Banxia doesn't know something. Some candidates are from poor families and have to make a living to earn some food and travel expenses."

Banxia understood: "Oh."

Meng Qianqian selected five books and asked Banxia to pay for them.

"Miss, are we going back to the Lu family?"

"Go to East Street."

She was going to close two shops on East Street.

It's not far from East Street, just walk through an alley and turn a corner.

Meng Qianqian and Banxia walked there.

In order to avoid being recognized, Meng Qianqian and Banxia both wore veils.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the first shop, Banxia hugged his lady's arm and pointed inside: "Miss, look, it's Miss Lin!"

This shop sells spices and rouge gouache.

Lin Wan'er was picking through several boxes of fine rouge with her green radish. Lin Wan'er also wore a veil, but people who were familiar with her could still recognize her at a glance.

Ban Xia hummed: "You still put on rouge when you are pregnant, you are a vixen! Miss, are we still going in?"

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "Why don't you come in? I am the principal wife, and if she wants to hide, she will hide as well."

Banxia puffed up her chest: "That's right!"

The two entered the shop.

"Mrs. Lu?"

An excited female voice came from behind.

Meng Qianqian paused for a moment, and was about to see who it was and whether it was calling her, when she saw a lady in her early thirties, luxuriously dressed and bejeweled, walking past her and patting Lin Wan'er on the shoulder.

Lin Wan'er turned around.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I said it was you. I met you at the banquet of the Governor's Mansion last time. I am from the Wang Yushi family. Do you still remember me?"

At this time, several ladies who were traveling with her also entered the shop.

One of them looked at Lin Wan'er and asked: "Mrs. Wang, this is -"

Mrs. Wang took Lin Wan'er's hand and said to the ladies, "She is the wife of General Zhenbei, Mrs. Lu!"
