After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight
Chapter 26 Return My Money
Night falls.
Lu Yuan sat quietly in the pavilion, drinking tea leisurely.
Baoshu sat on the soft carpet, pulling his clothes with her two little hands, making her grimace.
A Jinyiwei came outside the curtain and said with a bow, "Sir, the Lu family has left."
Lu Yuan asked: "How many battles can you survive?"
The Jinyiwei replied, "Two hundred and ten fights."
Lu Yuan said very fairly: "Remember the remaining ninety battles, and continue fighting after your injuries have healed."
Jinyiwei clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
Lu Yuan shook the teacup in his hand nonchalantly: "Humph, it's only been 210 battles, and the Lu family has produced such a coward!"
Uh... that's not how you use it.
The Jinyiwei said awkwardly: "In the army, there are not many people who can survive a hundred battles. Two hundred battles are rare. The only one who can survive three hundred battles is..."
Having said that, he glanced at Lu Yuan through the curtain, swallowed the rest of the words, and changed the subject, "With General Lu's strength, he can barely kill Prince Rong of Beiliang. His military achievements should be true."
Lu Yuan said coldly: "Have I ever doubted whether his military achievements were fake?"
The Imperial Guards were stunned.
Since he did not question Lu Lingxiao's military achievements, why did he change the original twenty sticks to three hundred sticks? If it was not to test Lu Lingxiao's strength, could there be another reason?
Lu Yuan waved his hand calmly: "Alright, those who deserve punishment have been punished, and those who deserve reward should also be rewarded. Our emperor...rewards and punishes clearly, and governs the country in a proper way."
The Jinyiwei knelt on one knee and saluted: "Yes! Sir!"
The news about Lu Lingxiao quickly spread throughout the capital. Some people saw him being carried out on a stretcher, covered in blood and half dead.
Ever since Lu Yuan came to power, the Governor's Mansion has become a purgatory-like existence. How many people who enter can come out intact?
Lu Yuan suffered another wave of curses from the people.
But Lu Yuan didn't care. Isn't it better to be a terrifying living devil than a loyal and brave person?
However, there were also people who scolded Lu Lingxiao, saying that he brought back a concubine from the border and pretended to be Mrs. Lu to attend the one-year-old celebration banquet held in the Governor's Mansion.
This shows that he totally does not take the Grand Commander seriously. It would be strange if the Grand Commander did not teach him a lesson.
In addition, the fact that Lu Lingxiao abandoned his wife and rescued his mistress from the Beiliang people had long been spread among the people. Some people did not believe it at first, but now with this commotion, Lu Lingxiao's reputation of favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife has been confirmed.
"If I were Madam Lu, I would not beg for mercy on behalf of this unfaithful man!"
In the teahouse, a young woman stood up for Meng Qianqian.
Most women in Beijing support Meng Qianqian. After all, no one wants to marry the wrong person.
A young man asked curiously, "Mrs. Lu pleaded for him?"
The young woman asked, "Do you think the Grand Commander will let him go so easily?"
The young man at the side came over and said, "Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes that day. Old Lady Lu and Madam Lu went to the Governor's Mansion in the evening and took the person away in the middle of the night!"
Another person said, "I heard that Madam Lu knelt in the Governor's Mansion for half a night before she persuaded the Grand Governor."
A middle-aged man in his forties sighed, "Mrs. Lu is virtuous and kind, and has a good character. If I could have a wife like her, what else could I ask for?"
"Bah! What virtuous woman?"
In Fengyuan, Luluo was so angry that she wanted to tear the handkerchief in her hand into pieces. "She didn't even kneel! If she had, the general would have received less punishment... She is such a vicious woman!"
Lin Wan'er waved to the little maid who reported the news.
The little maid retreated tremblingly.
Luoluo gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, it was you who saved the general, but now the credit falls on the head of the eldest young lady! Everyone in the capital is praising her!"
Lin Wan'er lowered her eyes and gestured: Go see Lu Lang.
Green Radish suppressed her grievances and said, "Yes."
As soon as they arrived at Lu Lingxiao's door, the master and servant ran into Lu Xingzhou and Lu's mother.
The two men stepped aside and bowed.
Mother Lu ignored Lin Wan'er and went into the house with the help of her maid.
Lu Lingxiao was seriously injured. The doctor was cleaning his wounds. Basins of blood were brought out. The strong smell of blood made Lu's mother dizzy.
The maid hurriedly supported her: "Madam!"
Lu Xingzhou's expression changed slightly, and he said to Lin Wan'er: "You..."
"What are you doing here!"
The old lady's voice interrupted Lu Xingzhou's words.
Lin Wan'er turned around, glanced at the old lady and Meng Qianqian beside her, and her fingertips clenched instantly.
Green Rose spoke for her young lady, "Old Lady, my young lady saved the general and came to see how the general is doing."
The old lady said to Luluo fiercely: "Are you blind? It was clearly Qianqian and I who rescued the person! What the hell does it have to do with her!"
Green ivy shuddered at the fierceness and muttered unwillingly: "It was my daughter who acted first..."
Lu Xingzhou said: "Your daughter is pregnant, it is not suitable for her to see blood, help your daughter back first."
Green Radish whispered, “Yes.”
The old lady shook her head and pulled Meng Qianqian in.
Meng Qianqian is the mistress, so she doesn't need to ask for permission to go anywhere, even to Lu Lingxiao's Songyuan. She didn't come before because she didn't want to, not because she was not qualified.
Lin Wan'er is different.
Lu Lingxiao could give her the privilege of entering and leaving Songyuan, but any master of the Lu family could easily take it away.
Lu Xingzhou said nothing and followed the old lady into the house.
Luoluo was furious: "Miss, the Minister knew that it was your contribution, why didn't he explain a few words for you? If you hadn't handed over the token of the Black Armor Guard, would His Majesty have ordered the release of the young master?"
Lin Wan'er clenched her fingers.
To Lu Xingzhou, it didn’t matter who saved his son, as long as his son was back.
What's more, it had been two days since he went to look for the emperor, and it was only after the old lady and Meng Qianqian came in person that he brought the person back from the Governor's Mansion.
Of course, Lu Xingzhou didn’t think Meng Qianqian had such a great reputation, but the old lady did.
His grandfather followed the retired emperor in his battles and made great contributions to the country. The old lady still enjoys the salary, ice tribute and charcoal tribute from the court. Other ladies with royal titles do not have such treatment.
Lu Lingxiao was unconscious for three whole days. When he woke up, he saw a beautiful girl, dressed in rosy clouds and with a beautiful jade hairpin, sitting gracefully in front of him.
He looked a little dazed.
"woke up?"
Meng Qianqian put down the half-read script.
Lu Lingxiao came back to his senses in an instant, and felt a sharp pain in the affected area, causing him to gasp.
He remembered that Lu Yuan ordered him to be beaten with a stick three hundred times.
Did this treacherous minister know that three hundred military sticks could kill people? He didn't know martial arts, so did his subordinates?
Meng Qianqian came over, squatted down and supported him: "Don't move, be careful with your wound."
This was the first time Lu Lingxiao was treated so calmly by her since he returned home.
He looked at her face which was so close to him that even the hair on her face was clearly visible. Suddenly, he had the illusion that they were a young couple.
She lifted the quilt: "There is no blood seeping out, so it should not be torn."
After saying that, she gently covered the quilt back, covered her face and yawned.
Lu Lingxiao's eyes swept across her slightly haggard face, and he asked blankly, "You... have been guarding me these past few days?"
"Ah."
Meng Qianqian nodded and looked at him tenderly, "I hope that when my husband opens his eyes, the first person he sees is me."
Lu Lingxiao's heart moved.
Meng Qianqian smiled and handed him a booklet, saying affectionately: "Your reward has arrived. Here, this is the account book. Excuse me, can my husband return my money?"
