Meng Qianqian returned to the Lu family.

She went to see the old lady, and when she passed by the old lady's yard, the old lady came out on crutches to scold her.

"The Lu family was really blind at the beginning. They didn't see that you are such a heartless person! For the past five years, the Lu family has treated you well and you are not grateful, but you actually embarrassed Xiao'er in public! How are you worthy of Xiao'er? When Xiao'er returns from the border after making great contributions, the first thing he will do is to let the world know that it is Xiao'er who doesn't want a vicious woman like you!"

Meng Qianqian was too lazy to pay attention to her.

The old lady punched the cotton with her fist, and she felt even more upset. She cursed with spit flying, "How dare you stay in the Lu family? Pack your bags and get out now!"

Meng Qianqian paused and sneered, "Madam Lu, you may have forgotten that the Lu family's house was bought by me with my dowry. You are the one who should pack up and leave."

The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards!

Meng Qianqian left.

Tan Er chased after her and said, "Sister! Do you really want this house?"

Meng Qianqian said without hesitation: "No."

Tan Er clenched his fist: "Yes! If you want the house where the Lu family lived, you'd better pay back the money!"

The two of them continued walking forward.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Is the matter done?"

Tan Er ran to the front, turned around, and walked backwards while saying to Meng Qianqian proudly: "It's done! The 20,000 taels of silver notes and 8,000 taels of silver are all given to Mother Chun! Madam Li has taken the title deed and the house, and Madam Wan has taken people to clean up!"

Meng Qianqian asked: "Did you encounter any trouble?"

Tan Er shook her index finger: "Not really! They were just a few blind hooligans, and they were beaten away with just one punch!"

The Lu family would not let her take the silver so easily, so before going to the temple, she specially left Tan'er behind.

Meng Qianqian nodded with satisfaction.

Tan Er jumped in front of her, held her cheek with her little fist, and laughed: "Sister, I'm going to give up the braised pork today!"

Meng Qianqian said: "Okay."

Tan'er opened her arms contentedly and turned around: "Oh, by the way, sister, the young man named Liu Changsheng is here, and Nanny Li has given the things to him! He looks so weak, can he subdue those monsters in the Zhao family? Do you want me to help?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Let's see what he is capable of. If he can't even do this, then he is not the person I need."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Tan Er nodded wildly!

Meng Qianqian added: "Also, you are so young, you are not allowed to call me youngster."

Tan'er has a resentful face.

"Go away. The old lady doesn't want to see you."

It was the voice of Xi Que, the old lady's personal maid.

The two of them turned the corner and ran into Lin Wan'er and her servant who had been chased away.

Today was such a strange day. First I met the old lady, and now I met Lin Wan'er. It seems I have to move out as soon as possible to avoid being an eyesore.

Tan Er laughed: "Oh, isn't this the bitch Lin who stole someone else's husband, got pregnant, and still calls herself a girl?"

Green Radish asked angrily, "How do you talk like that?"

Tan Er folded her arms and said, "You said it with your mouth, but are you using your butt? No wonder you say all bullshit!"

Green ivy was so angry that she couldn't win no matter how she talked or how she fought!

Lin Wan'er said to Meng Qianqian in sign language: The general promised me that he would marry me when he returns to Beijing in triumph.

In fact, it was the old lady who agreed, but the result is the same.

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Congratulations, it's not something I want anyway, if you like it, just pick it up."

Lin Wan'er pinched her fingers and gestured: Since it's broken, don't regret it in the future. When the general returns after making merit, you will be entangled with him again.

Meng Qianqian smiled: "First of all, no, I never pestered him, it was you who pestered him. Besides, speaking of pestering, you should be worried. Maybe after the war, he will bring back a beloved girl from the border. Take care of yourself."

Meng Qianqian brought Tan'er into the yard.

"Girl! You're here! The old lady is waiting for you!"

The magpie's cheerful voice and Meng Qianqian's carefree back deeply hurt Lin Wan'er's eyes.

Lin Wan'er gestured fiercely: He won't! He promised me!

Meng Qianqian didn't even bother to look back.

In the next few days, Meng Qianqian accompanied the old lady for meals in the morning, and then went to the Governor's Mansion to tidy up the library, and occasionally went to see Lu's mother.

With her son going to the war, Lu's mother could not sleep or eat.

Compared with Lu's mother, the old lady was surprisingly calm.

Meng Qianqian remembered that when Lu Lingxiao went on his first expedition, the old lady's worry was no less than that of Lu's mother. She took the whole family to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and also provided porridge to the poor people to accumulate blessings.

But now, the old lady could do nothing but curse her in the house.

"Miss Meng, are you still tidying up the library?"

A familiar voice interrupted Meng Qianqian's thoughts.

Meng Qianqian turned around and saluted: "Sir Shangguan."

Shangguan Ling smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. The Grand Commander is not here, so you don't have to be so honest. It's okay to rest at home for a few days."

Meng Qianqian said softly: "I want to finish sorting it out as soon as possible."

"He's so stubborn, just like Yu Zichuan." Shangguan Ling muttered softly.

Meng Qianqian paused and asked tentatively, "Sir Shangguan, may I ask why there is another war at the border?"

Shangguan Ling did not hide too much from her and told her about the disappearance of the Beiliang delegation and 100,000 taels of gold in Fengxian County, as well as the capture of the Yinhu Guards.

"Actually, ever since the Chu family was wiped out, Beiliang has been harboring evil intentions!"

Meng Qianqian pondered and said, "There is a serious internal struggle in Beiliang. The reason why Lu Lingxiao was able to kill King Rong En is probably because of the internal struggle. If someone uses him to get rid of King Rong En, it can save a lot of trouble."

Shangguan Ling was surprised: "Ms. Meng, you are quite insightful! And you even know about the internal fighting in Beiliang?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "Oh, I was tidying up the library these days and took a look at some files. Can't I read them? I'll pay attention to it in the future."

Shangguan Ling waved his hands: "No, no, no, the Grand Commander didn't say no, you can look at it as you like!"

Meng Qianqian blinked. "However, I saw in the files that the twelve leaders of the Black Armor Guards were mysterious and few people had ever seen their true faces. I wonder how they determined that the captives were from the Tiger Guards?"

Shangguan Ling said, "The insider sent back the portrait, and it was confirmed by Lin Wan'er."

Because I talked with Shangguan Ling for a while, it was already dark when I arrived at Lu's house.

Tan'er was lingering at the door, apparently waiting for her.

"Tan'er."

"elder sister!"

Tan Er flashed over and helped Meng Qianqian off the carriage. "Ni Guess, what did you hear in Fengyuan?"

Fengyuan is Lin Wan'er's courtyard.

Meng Qianqian met her excited eyes, smiled, and asked, "Looking at you like this, have you heard some great secret?"

Tan Er puffed out her chest and said vividly, "Lu Lingxiao went to the border to fight, and the old lady was not worried at all. This is not normal! So, I went to Fengyuan secretly and heard Luluo ask her master, 'Miss, can the things you gave to the general really help the general to achieve great merit?'"

Meng Qianqian frowned: "Then what?"

Tan Er spread her hands: "Then I'm not sure, I don't understand sign language."

There was a sharp gleam in Meng Qianqian's eyes, and she quickly went to Fengyuan.

Lin Wan'er had just finished taking a shower and was about to rest when the door was kicked open with a bang!

Tan'er shook her feet that were suspended in mid-air.

Green Radish: "What are you doing——"

Meng Qianqian slapped the man to the ground and walked coldly to Lin Wan'er: "What did you give Lu Lingxiao?"
