Lu Lingxiao was stunned.

Lu Xingzhou, who was standing by, was overwhelmed.

Why would this kid do anything else but bring this woman to the banquet at the Governor's Mansion?

Now it’s not right to admit it, nor is it right to deny it.

If you don't admit it, how can your son bring his concubine to the banquet?

It is recognized that—

Before Lu Xingzhou could think of a foolproof plan, Lu Yuan changed the subject and smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, Beiliang has always been a major concern for my Great Zhou. General Lu played a great role in our victory over Beiliang this time, and this governor also appreciates General Lu very much."

"Thank you for the honor, Grand Commander." Lu Xingzhou's expression relaxed and he winked at his son.

Lu Lingxiao reluctantly cupped his hands and said calmly: "This is the credit of all the soldiers at the border. Lingxiao just did his duty and dare not take credit for it."

Lu Yuan smiled meaningfully: "Lord Lu, you gave birth to a good son."

After Lu Yuan left, Lu Xingzhou said to his son, "Come out with me!"

The father and son came to the yard. At this time, everyone was at the table and no one paid attention to this side.

Lu Xingzhou asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? I'm asking you about Qianqian?"

Lu Lingxiao said, "Who knows where she went? I asked her to wait in the carriage for a while, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye. I looked for her for a long time, thinking that she was angry with me and came to the banquet first. As for Wan'er, she just bought some fabric for clothes on the way. No one expected it to rain suddenly, and it rained so hard. I was worried about leaving her alone outside."

Lu Xingzhou glared at his son in dismay: "Do you feel relieved to leave your wife outside? If anything happens to Qianqian, everyone will know that you brought a mistress to the Grand Commander's banquet today!"

Lu Lingxiao said seriously: "Father, Wan'er is not a concubine."

Lu Xingzhou said coldly: "Shut up!"

Lu Lingxiao suppressed his rebuttal and said, "Maybe...she is already on her way. She is the wife of the eldest young master of the Lu family. No one in the capital dares to touch her."

"It better be this way!"

After Lu Xingzhou finished speaking in a cold voice, he called his long-time attendant and asked him to go find Meng Qianqian quickly.

"You go too."

Lu Xingzhou said to his son, "I will tell the Grand Commander that you should go back and take care of your mother."

Lu Lingxiao knew he was in the wrong and nodded.

The two returned to their seats.

In just a moment's time, Lin Wan'er was surrounded by a group of female relatives, who called her Madam Lu one after another.

And the name of Green Ivy also changed from "My Miss" to "My Madam".

A lady took Lin Wan'er's hand and asked about her well-being.

Suddenly, she stroked the scar on Lin Wan'er's left hand and asked, "Mrs. Lu, what happened to your hand?"

Green Rose said, "My wife was shot by a stray arrow while trying to save the young master. You don't know how dangerous it was. If it was half an inch off, my wife's hand would have been broken!"

"Did you encounter an assassin?"

"What assassin in the capital city would use stray arrows? They are used in border battles."

Lin Wan'er quickly pulled her hand back.

Green Radish covered her mouth.

Lu Lingxiao hurried over and said, "Madams, my mother is not feeling well. We will leave first."

After saying that, he quickly got up and left with Lin Wan'er and Luoluo.

But as soon as he reached the door, he bumped into a soldier returning from the border.

"General Lu! Eh? Green ivy? You're here too!"

"I……"

"Is this Miss Lin? I almost didn't recognize you with the veil on! Uh ...

The ladies all pricked up their ears.

Miss Lin?

The young lady of the Lu family...her surname is Meng!

On the carriage back.

Lu Lingxiao looked solemn.

Lin Wan'er pulled Lu Lingxiao's sleeve and gestured in sign language: I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Did I cause you any trouble?

Lu Lingxiao held Lin Wan'er's hand and said gently, "Wan'er, don't worry. I will take care of it."

Lin Wan'er was silent.

Lu Lingxiao asked, "Does Wan'er feel wronged?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head and gestured: I'm worried about the eldest young master's wife, will something happen to her?

Luoluo snorted, "Miss, nothing will happen to the eldest young master's wife. Who knows, she might have already returned to the Lu family, leaving us worried!"

Lin Wan'er pushed Lu Lingxiao.

Lu Lingxiao said: "Okay, okay, I'll go find you. I'll take you back to the Lu family first."

However, Lu Lingxiao felt that Luoluo's words made sense. Maybe Meng Qianqian really went back.

Where else could she go?

After getting off the carriage, Lu Lingxiao escorted Lin Wan'er up the stairs. Just as they were about to knock on the door, it opened from the inside.

Banxia looked at the uncle and the vixen hugging each other in astonishment, and her blood boiled: "Uncle!"

"Where's my lady?"

"Where's your lady?"

They both spoke at the same time.

Banxia stamped her feet: "I just wanted to ask you, uncle! Where is my young lady?"

Banxia couldn't find Lu Lingxiao, so she went back to the cloth shop with Wu Ge'er. The owner of the cloth shop said that the young lady had borrowed an umbrella and left.

It is very far from the Governor's Mansion, and the young lady doesn't have a carriage, so I don't think she will go to the banquet alone.

They hurried back to the Lu family to see if the young lady had returned. If not, they would ask more people from the mansion to go out and look for her.

"Isn't your young lady with you?"

Now Lu Lingxiao was really worried.

Although he didn't love Meng Qianqian, she was his wife after all and an innocent life, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

Just then, a thin figure, holding a broken oil-paper umbrella, came staggering out of the heavy rain.

The heavy rain continued to beat on her thin shoulders. She was soaked all over, and even the joints between her bones seemed to be soaked by the cold.

Wu Ge'er yelled, "Young Madam!"

Banxia's expression changed: "Miss!"

The two rushed out.

Lu Lingxiao had a gloomy face. He walked up to Meng Qianqian holding an umbrella and asked, "Didn't I tell you to wait in the carriage? You disappeared when you came back. Where did you go?"

Meng Qianqian's whole body was frozen, even her cheeks, lips and tongue were numb.

She looked at him coldly.

Lu Lingxiao discovered that she was not wearing the same clothes she wore when she went out. Looking at the bag that had fallen to the ground, his expression became even colder.

"You went shopping for clothes? Wan'er bought some, so you bought some too... Do you have to argue with Wan'er about everything? It's ok that you're not sensible on ordinary days, but do you have to lose your temper on such an important occasion?"
