After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian helped the old lady repair the roof. It was almost lunch time, but Tan'er was still sleeping soundly, so Meng Qianqian took her pulse.

"Are you okay?"

Nanny Li asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Meng Qianqian said with a smile.

Nanny Li felt relieved, folded Tan'er's clothes, and said, "This girl eats a lot, but she doesn't grow taller."

Meng Qianqian covered Tan'er with the quilt that she had kicked off: "Maybe it's not time for you to grow up yet."

After dinner, Meng Qianqian went to the library.

The first floor has been tidied up and it’s time to go to the second floor.

In the past, she just focused on tidying up and never went upstairs. Today, she decided to visit all seven floors of the attic first.

Lu Yuan held great power and was in charge of the Jinyiwei. He kept copies of many case files or made rubbings of them.

She wanted to find out if there were any files related to Marshal Chu and the Black Armor Guards.

The second floor is similar to the first floor, with a large number of bookshelves and books. Starting from the third floor, there are fewer paper books, and all you can see are bamboo slips.

I can't go any higher, it's locked.

Meng Qianqian asked the servant who was guarding the pavilion today, his name was Afu.

Ah Fu said respectfully, "Miss Meng, the key is held by Steward Cen. We don't have it. If you want to go in, just ask Steward Cen for it."

Now that I have just finished tidying up the first floor, if I am in such a hurry to get the keys, it would seem like I have other purposes. Although that is the truth, I can't make it too obvious.

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "No hurry, wait until I get to the fourth floor and then go find Manager Cen to get the key."

The condition that Lu Yuan agreed to pay off one percent of her interest was that she finish renovating the seven-story pavilion. Then, she should be able to get the key.

She stayed in the study for nearly two hours and it was dusk when she came out.

She walked through the Governor's Mansion and out the front door.

As soon as he turned a corner, he ran into Lu Lingxiao, who had a complicated expression.

Lu Lingxiao came here specially to wait for her. He saw her coming out of the Governor's Mansion with his own eyes, and his face became even colder.

"I went to Fengshui Hutong, but you weren't there. Nanny Li and Banxia refused to tell me where you went, so I guessed you came here, and sure enough!"

"What are you here for?"

Meng Qianqian asked calmly.

Lu Lingxiao clenched his fists: "I should be the one asking you this. What are you doing in the Governor's Mansion? What is your relationship with Lu Yuan? At the border, didn't you already..."

He found it difficult to say what came after that.

Meng Qianqian looked at him with amusement: "What do you think?"

In Lu Lingxiao's eyes, these words undoubtedly meant consent.

Lu Lingxiao felt extremely humiliated: "Meng Qianqian! Do you still have any sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame?"

Meng Qianqian asked back: "What does it have to do with you whether I have moral integrity or not? Who are you to me? Father? Brother? Husband? You are none of them, so get out of here as soon as you can!"

Lu Lingxiao was so angry that he fell backwards: "Do you know who Lu Yuan is? How dare you get involved with him? He has done many evil things and has a bad reputation. Even if you want to piss me off, you don't have to get involved with Lu Yuan!"

Meng Qianqian was so angry that she laughed: "You have so much face, is it worth me to be angry with you?"

Lu Lingxiao thought of the night when she was drunk and unconscious, pulling Lu Yuan's sleeve and saying that she was the Grand Commander. That scene lingered in his mind. He was like a possessed person, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"Then tell me why you treat yourself like this?"

"The five years I spent in your Lu family bullying me was the time I was humiliating myself!"

Lu Lingxiao was so angry that his blood boiled.

He stared at Meng Qianqian's back without turning back, and gritted his teeth and said, "You watched Linglong die without saving her, and I didn't say anything. Do you really want to—"

Meng Qianqian took a deep breath and turned around: "I, watched someone die without rescuing him? Ah, you mean she pushed Miss Zhou but failed and ended up falling into the lake? Half a year ago, she pushed me into the water and caused me to have a cold. Now you expect me to use this cold body to save someone who tried to murder me? Lu Lingxiao, you are such a good brother!"

Lu Lingxiao choked violently.

He didn't mean to say that originally, but sometimes when emotions get aroused, many words come out of his mouth insincerely.

Meng Qianqian returned to Fengshui Hutong, and Nanny Li told her that Lu Lingxiao had been there.

Meng Qianqian took a sip of tea and suppressed her anger: "I just ran into him."

"He's here to deliver a letter," said Nanny Li.

Meng Qianqian was stunned. She had not expected this to happen.

Nanny Li put a letter on the table: "It's from Youzhou, it should be a letter from the Meng family."

The Meng family didn't know that the young lady had broken off relations with Lu Lingxiao, so they sent the letter to the Lu family.

Meng Qianqian opened the letter and found it was indeed a letter from home: "It was written by my second uncle, saying that everything was fine at home and my grandfather was still recovering from illness. He asked about the Lu family's situation and asked if Lu Lingxiao really came back alive."

Nanny Li was at a loss: "The Meng family doesn't know about the young lady and the Lu family for the time being. Should we write a letter to inform the Meng family?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head: "If the Meng family finds out, they will definitely send someone to take me back to Youzhou. I can't leave the capital for the time being."

In fact, Nanny Li also wanted to ask her why she didn't return to Youzhou and what unfinished business she had in the capital.

But many times, when she met those calm eyes, Nanny Li was unable to ask.

Nanny Li said, "It's not a good idea to keep hiding it like this."

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "We'll keep it a secret for as long as we can. I'll tell Madam Lu about this and ask her to help me keep an eye out for letters from the Meng family."

Nanny Li hesitated: "Lu Lingxiao..."

Meng Qianqian said: "He won't take the initiative to say it, he can't afford to lose face."

Lu family, Fengyuan.

After Lu Linglong got into trouble, Lin Wan'er was scolded by the second wife, who pointed at her nose and said that she was a vixen and was restless even with a big belly. Lu Lingxiao was accompanying his sister to visit the lanterns, so why did she go to join in the fun? As a result, Lu Lingxiao was only concerned with accompanying her, and Lu Linglong fell into the water.

When Meng Qianqian went to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet, Lin Wan'er snatched Lu Lingxiao away in the same way. At that time, the Second Lady only accused Meng Qianqian of making a fuss.

As expected, you will never know how much pain a brick hurts unless it hits your foot.

"The Second Madam is going too far. What does she have to do with the young lady? It was obviously the eldest lady who ran around on her own!"

Luluo stood up for Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er didn't answer, but asked: "Where is the general?"

If someone else was here, they would be very surprised, because Lin Wan'er started talking.

Luluo whispered, "The general... went to find Meng Qianqian."

Lin Wan'er clenched her hands.

Luoluo said, "The Meng family sent a letter home, and the general delivered it personally."

Lin Wan'er slowly picked up a hairpin and said, "Meng Qianqian is Mr. Meng's favorite granddaughter. When she got married, Mr. Meng gave her most of his fortune. If the Meng family knew that Meng Qianqian had severed ties with the Lu family, do you think they would take her back to Youzhou? Write a letter to the Meng family and say that Meng Qianqian has divorced Lu Lingxiao."
