Chapter 17: Exposing Lin Wan'er
Lu Lingxiao had made great contributions at the border and was in the emperor's favor. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with his wife?
Several ladies immediately surrounded him with smiles on their faces.
Some of them had been to the Governor's Mansion for the banquet but were unable to speak to Lin Wan'er, while others had not been able to attend the one-year-old celebration banquet and had been looking for an opportunity to get close to Lu Lingxiao's wife.
Seeing this, Luluo hurriedly said to Madam Wang, "Madam Wang, my wife remembers you. She has been thinking about you a lot since we parted at the Governor's Mansion!"
Mrs. Wang was flattered!
Although her husband held a high position and was an old official, he was no match for the popular General Lu.
"Mrs. Lu, thank you for your concern. I have wanted to visit you at the Lu family for a long time!"
Banxia was very angry.
Her daughter is the legitimate wife of a general. How can a bunch of ladies surround a vixen and call her Madam Lu? Is this fair?
Lu Lingxiao kept the fact that he took Lin Wan'er to the banquet a secret. Only Meng Qianqian and Li Ma knew about it in Haitang Courtyard. Even Banxia was kept in the dark.
"Miss!"
Banxia looked at Meng Qianqian in great shock.
Meng Qianqian nodded calmly.
Banxia was confident. She took her young lady's arm and said loudly, "Ladies, you have the wrong person. The real general's wife is here!"
Everyone looked over here at the same time.
Lin Wan'er and Luoluo's expressions changed.
The ladies had never met Meng Qianqian before, and only met Lin Wan'er and her servant once at a banquet.
Madam Wang looked at Luoluo, then at Lin Wan'er's hand, which she was holding. "I'm not mistaken. She is Luoluo, the maidservant of the general's wife. There is an arrow wound on the base of the general's left hand. She was injured by a stray arrow while trying to save General Lu. You...whose general's wife are you?"
Banxia said confidently: "My lady is naturally General Zhenbei, Lu Lingxiao's wife!"
Two Madam Lu?
Everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but look back and forth between Meng Qianqian and Lin Wan'er.
Both wore veils.
Meng Qianqian is wearing a light pink fur coat, with picturesque features and the youthful spirit of a girl like the morning sun in early spring, yet she is calm and composed, with a tranquil temperament.
Lin Wan'er was dressed in plain clothes, with a slender figure and a delicate appearance like a chrysanthemum.
Originally, she was also extremely beautiful, but somehow, after looking at Meng Qianqian and then looking at her, she seemed a little dull.
Madam Wang said to Meng Qianqian, "You said you were Madam Lu, but it was clearly her that General Lu took to the Governor's Mansion for the banquet last time."
Meng Qianqian did not rush to refute, but walked slowly to Lin Wan'er and said calmly: "Miss Lin, do you dare to admit in front of everyone that you are my husband's wife who was married with three letters and six ceremonies?"
Lin Wan'er tightened her grip on the handkerchief.
Meng Qianqian said in a dignified manner: "If you admit it, I will give you this identity."
Madam Wang frowned strangely. "Last time... I seemed to hear someone calling Miss Lin in the Governor's Mansion... Later, that person said he called her the wrong name..."
The ladies exchanged glances.
A general suddenly has two wives. This is going to be a good show.
Someone looked at Lin Wan'er and muttered, "Speak up, are you mute?"
Luoluo hurriedly explained: "My wife... hurt her throat and can't speak anymore!"
Banxia put her hands on her hips and sneered, "She can't speak, so how did she talk about Madam Wang in the mansion? Did she talk with her feet?"
Green ivy blushed.
"Also, my young lady didn't even drink her concubine's tea. You are not even qualified to be called Aunt, yet you dare to call her Madam! I will teach you the rules today!"
Banxia is not a soft persimmon. In the past, the young lady gave in to them, but now the relationship has fallen out. What else can she tolerate?
Banxia raised her hand and slapped Luoluo!
Seeing this, Lin Wan'er raised her hand and slapped Banxia.
Meng Qianqian slapped Lin Wan'er backhanded and forehanded, knocking her unconscious on the spot!
The crowd gasped one after another.
Oh my god, this is so intense!
Everyone looked at Meng Qianqian. This is the principal wife, right?
Luluo covered her face and said in a cowardly and annoyed manner: "You, if you treat my young lady like this, the general will not let you go!"
Everyone looked at Lin Wan'er again. Could this be the real reason?
Just when everyone was confused about what was real and what was fake, there was a commotion on the street, the sound of horse hooves, roars, and screams...
Then, two masked strong men rushed into the shop with knives, one of them had a crying and struggling child under his armpit.
"Close the door! Otherwise I'll kill him! And you too!"
He held the knife and shouted at the waiter.
The waiter was so scared that he closed the shop door.
"Close the back door too!" the masked man who caught the child shouted.
The other waiter did so in horror.
The ladies were terrified.
The burly man who caught the child shouted angrily, "Don't shout! I'll kill anyone who asks me to do so!"
The ladies covered their mouths tightly.
Meng Qianqian's eyes swept over the two burly men.
Two of them were injured. The one who caught the child was slightly injured, and the other one was stabbed in the right arm. Judging from the exposed knife wound, it seemed that he was injured by the Embroidered Spring Knife of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Combined with the man's accent, Meng Qianqian almost guessed the identities of the two.
"Ah ...
The child kept crying.
The slightly injured strong man was very annoyed: "Cry again! I will pull out your tongue, believe it or not?"
Meng Qianqian said calmly: "His arm is dislocated, of course he will cry. If you don't let him go, he will die of pain."
The slightly wounded man shouted, "Even if I die, we still have you guys. Can't we just catch a few more?"
A lady who was closest to Lin Wan'er whispered, "Hey, aren't you the general's wife? You should think of a solution!"
The slightly injured man had excellent hearing and heard it immediately. He hurriedly asked in a stern voice, "Who is the general's wife?"
The lady pointed at Lin Wan'er and said, "She!"
"My lady is not! She is!"
Luoluo pointed at Meng Qianqian without hesitation.
The slightly injured strong man gritted his teeth: "Damn it! Which one is it?"
"I am."
Meng Qianqian stood up calmly, "My husband, Lu Lingxiao, cut off the head of your Beiliang Prince and killed 100,000 of your Beiliang soldiers. If you capture me back, I will definitely be more valuable than capturing anyone here."
Madam Wang's face turned pale: "People from Beiliang? Are they from Beiliang?"
"Brother." The slightly injured strong man looked at the other man.
The other man glanced at Meng Qianqian and Lin Waner with a sinister look: "Capture both of them! One of them must be the real one!"
The slightly injured strong man: "This child..."
"Kill him!"
"Ah——" everyone screamed.
Just at this moment, the door was kicked down with a bang.
Lu Lingxiao, dressed in silver armor, stepped in like a god with a powerful aura.
The two Beiliang spies paused.
Lin Wan'er flew towards Lu Lingxiao.
Meng Qianqian pounced on the Beiliang spy, snatched the child from his hands, and raised her palm upwards to take the child's arm back.
The Beiliang spy lost his hostage and turned around and put the knife to Meng Qianqian's neck.
At the same time, Lin Wan'er was whipped back by another spy.
Lu Lingxiao can only save one.
He gritted his teeth and cut off the nine-section whip with one knife!
Lin Wan'er fell into his arms. He hugged the woman tightly in his arms, but his eyes were looking at his wife who was captured by the Beiliang spies.
Meng Qianqian was quiet, neither calling for help nor screaming.
Lu Lingxiao's eyes focused and he clenched the hilt of the knife.
