After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

When everyone saw her, it was as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The second wife asked in disbelief: "You...were you not arrested by the Governor's Office?"

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "So my family knew that I was imprisoned. Instead of thinking about how to rescue me, they racked their brains to distance themselves from me. This is the way a noble family behaves. It really opened my eyes as a small business girl."

The second wife choked and muttered awkwardly, "Who told you to get into trouble?"

Meng Qianqian greeted the Third and Fifth Elders: "Hello, two great uncles."

The expressions of the two were somewhat cold.

The second lady asked curiously, "How did you get out?"

The old lady snorted coldly, "Needless to say, it was Xiao Ge'er who rescued her! I wonder how much humiliation he endured this time in the Governor's Mansion!"

She felt so sorry for her grandson, how could he have such a troublesome daughter-in-law!

Meng Qianqian burst out laughing.

The old lady frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Meng Qianqian said, "I laugh at my grandmother for not being able to figure out the weight of her own grandson. Not to mention that he didn't go to the Governor's Mansion to suffer, even if he did, she wouldn't have the dignity to take me out of the Governor's Mansion."

"you--"

The old lady fell back in anger.

The Second Madam sneered, "If it wasn't Xiao Ge'er who saved you, who else could it be? It couldn't be that the Grand Commander was so soft-hearted that he let you go. Who do you think you are? Do you have the dignity to do that?"

The old lady also believed that the Governor's Mansion released the person only out of consideration for Xiao Ge'er's face. Thinking of this, she felt more and more that Meng Qianqian was not worthy of her precious grandson.

"You've been holding Xiao'er back all day long. Because of you, Xiao'er was demoted one rank and received hundreds of beatings. Not only do you not know how to restrain yourself, you've become even more rampant and even caused trouble in the palace! Today, I'm the one who makes the decision to divorce you, this unlucky star!"

Meng Qianqian straightened her back and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "He was demoted because he favored his concubine and neglected his wife, and attempted to deceive the emperor. What does it have to do with me? Besides, you have to be reasonable when divorcing your wife. You can't just divorce her just because you say so!"

The old lady was used to seeing Meng Qianqian being respectful and obedient, so she felt a little uncomfortable when she became tough.

The Second Madam stood up and pointed at Meng Qianqian's nose and said, "Unfilial, jealous, sick, and childless. You have committed four of the seven grounds for divorce. How can I not divorce you?"

Meng Qianqian smiled coldly: "Second Aunt, are you talking about the fact that I caught a cold a few days ago and couldn't go to take care of my grandmother? Then why not let the servants of the mansion come out and judge and see how I have been filial to my elders in the Lu family in the past few years! I paid for the money! I took care of the people! I raised the family! If this can be called unfilial, then what is filial piety?"

"My husband brought a concubine home without my consent. Have I ever treated her harshly? Her food, clothing and daily expenses are no different from those of my wife. My husband stayed in her courtyard every night, and I never stopped him! How can I be jealous?"

"As for the serious illness and infertility, Second Aunt, are you referring to the fact that your daughter pushed me into the water and caused me to catch a cold? My illness is caused by your daughter, and my inability to have children is also caused by your Lu family! How dare you blame me!"

The two elders were also a little shocked for a moment. What Meng girl said was completely opposite to what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said. They didn't know who to believe.

Meng Qianqian said righteously, "Since the two elders are here today, why not make it clear! Don't say that I haven't committed the seven grounds for divorce. Even if I did, there are still three things that cannot be divorced according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty - poverty before and wealth after, three years of mourning, and no place to go. When I married into the Lu family, the Lu family was heavily in debt, and even the house was used to pay off the debt. I used the money from the dowry to pay it off! My grandfather passed away, my husband's 'faked death', I observed mourning for three years and chastity for five years! Just based on these things, the Lu family wants to divorce me, but there is no way!"

The old lady was so angry that she trembled all over: "You...you..."

The Fifth Old Master said: "In this case, we really can't give up..."

The Second Madam said anxiously, "Fifth Uncle! She has offended the Imperial Concubine. If you don't divorce her, are you waiting to die with her?"

Fifth Old Master: "Hasn't this person been released?"

The Third Old Master: "Yes, maybe the Imperial Concubine will be magnanimous and not bother with Meng girl?"

The Second Madam was anxious: "What's the point of releasing them now? If the Imperial Concubine holds a grudge against us, how can the Lu family have a good life? What if the Imperial Concubine lets someone trip up Big Brother and Xiao'er, then their careers will be ruined!"

What she didn't say was that her daughter was of marriageable age. If they knew that the Lu family had offended the imperial concubine, who would dare to marry Linglong? Not to mention that she had two sons studying in the Imperial Academy.

The director of the Imperial College was the imperial concubine's brother.

The old lady didn't dare to gamble with the lives and property of her son, grandson and the entire family.

The old lady quickly suppressed her greedy thoughts and still decided to kick Meng Qianqian out of the house.

"You and Xiao Ge'er were married, and divorcing you would be a disgrace to you. Please leave the palace! Just say that you violated the palace rules and you don't want to bring trouble to your husband's family. When outsiders mention you in the future, they will praise you for being virtuous and understanding!"

The old lady spoke in a condescending tone, as if she had bestowed great grace on Meng Qianqian.

In fact, if you think about it, this method is indeed more clever than the Lu family divorcing her. Divorcing her would make the Lu family seem heartless and ungrateful, but if she asks to be divorced, it will have nothing to do with the Lu family.

Meng Qianqian laughed out of anger. How could she not know what the old lady was planning?

When it comes to shamelessness, this grandmother is unmatched.

"What about my dowry?"

The old lady frowned and said coldly: "You asked to leave the marriage, and you still want to get your dowry back?"

Meng Qianqian asked back, "You want me to leave the marriage if you don't return the dowry? Grandmother, my ancestors in the Meng family heard what she was thinking even in their coffins!"

"Enough!" Lu Lingxiao walked in with a grim face.

Meng Qianqian knew that he had been listening outside for a long time and only came in when he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Come out and speak."

Lu Lingxiao went to pull her wrist.

Meng Qianqian raised her arm and walked in front of him.

The two came to the yard.

Lu Lingxiao asked, "How can you speak to your grandmother like that?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Don't yell at me. If you have the time, why don't you go to the Governor's Mansion and get your punishment!"

Lu Lingxiao's face turned red from choking.

He clenched his fists and said, "I'm not here to quarrel with you. Follow me into the palace and kowtow to the Imperial Concubine and admit your fault!"

Meng Qianqian asked: "What did I do wrong?"

Lu Lingxiao frowned and said, "The Queen is just promoting an orphan girl. Do you have to disobey her?"

Meng Qianqian said coldly: "Since it is a favor, why not let her own son issue an order to grant the marriage? If she doesn't do so, it will be too unkind to be struck by lightning! You all want to take advantage of me, and I am the only one who has to bear the grievance!"

"The imperial concubine received the loyalty of her subjects, Lin Wan'er received the status of a concubine, you received the woman you love, and what did I receive?"

"You only remember that she became an orphan three years ago, but you forgot that I lost my parents when I was three years old! You are grateful to her, but do you know who raised the money for the northern expedition? Most of the Meng family's wealth was lost... Otherwise, how do you think you didn't starve to death at the border?"

Five years ago, there was a snowstorm at Yumen Pass, and the imperial court delayed the delivery of military pay. Later, a caravan of merchants came to deliver food and fodder...

Lu Lingxiao felt like he was hit hard!

"Why... didn't you say so earlier?"

"I told you that you won't let me down, right?"

Lu Lingxiao was speechless.

Meng Qianqian raised her eyes to the endless sky and said calmly: "Lu Lingxiao, let's get divorced."
