Chapter 56 Follow Me

Lu Qiniang stared at Zhang Heyao blankly, unable to believe her ears.

Daya came over to support her, looking at Zhang Heyao, her eyes filled with tears and a murderous look.

She felt so sorry for Lu Qiniang.

She gritted her teeth, looked at Zhang Heyao, and said word by word: "You might as well die outside!"

They were doing just fine without him.

Isn't he living a good life?

Why did you have to come back, disrupt your family's life, and make your mother so heartbroken!

"Daya," Lu Qiniang found her voice again, and even moved the corners of her mouth. Her smile was ugly, and her voice was difficult. "Don't talk like that. It's not good."

"Mom!" Daya shouted, tears streaming down her face.

She would rather see Lu Qiniang cry and scream than see her compromise like this.

"You kid, it's okay, it's not a big deal." Lu Qiniang said, "Well, brother, you got married again outside? To a princess? So you are a prince now? That's great."

She was incoherent, but still trying to find something to say, as if that could cover up her gaffe.

"Brother, come in and sit down?" she said. "Oh, no, this is the Zhang family, not yours. I shouldn't have said that. You're getting married, and to a princess, you two are quite a match... Well, give me two days. I'll pack my things, take the three maids, and leave the house for you. You can clean it up and make it your new home, or rent it out."

"Mom!" Daya hugged Lu Qin's mother's arm, tears streaming down her face.

She felt it, felt the unbearable pain that Lu Qinniang was feeling at the moment, with blood flowing all over her heart.

But her mother is really too stupid.

Even after all this happened, she didn't even curse Zhang Heyao, this unfaithful and ungrateful man!

Zhang Heyao said expressionlessly, "You really can't live here anymore. When the princess arrives in a few days, she'll come here with me to pay respects to our ancestors. You can stay here temporarily. I'll have someone find you another place to live. You can bring...your people there. As long as you behave yourself, someone will send you food and silver every month."

"Behave yourself? You're out there looking for other women, divorcing your wife and remarrying. And you think my mother, who has been taking care of the tablets of your family of three for ten years, is behave yourself?" Daya was furious.

It was the first time in her life that she was so hysterical.

Because if she didn't do this, she would be blown away by the unexpressed resentment in her chest.

"What's going on?" Erya came in with a piece of meat in her hand.

She got her wages today and was very happy, but when she came back, she saw a lot of people gathered at her door.

As smart as Erya is, she already had some guesses in her mind.

When she saw that everyone was surrounding a horse, she became even more certain.

It must be someone her father sent.

Soon she heard Daya's roar again.

Oh my God, it’s incredible that someone could make Meng Guanzi so angry.

So Erya pushed through the crowd and hurried in carrying the meat.

She looked at Lu Qiniang, the angry Daya and the confused Sanya, and then at the unfamiliar Zhang Heyao, "What, what is this for?"

"Erya is back." Lu Qiniang said, "It's nothing, your...uncle is back."

"Uncle? Mother, where do I find an uncle?"

"Zhang Heyao, he is Zhang Heyao!" Daya's voice trembled.

"Ah? Dad!" Arya was very excited. "Dad, you're back. I just thought it was impossible, that you couldn't come back alone... Uh, what happened?"

Seeing Zhang Heyao's unhappy expression and his cold indifference, she couldn't help but pause and looked at Lu Qiniang for help.

"He is not our father. He is trying to marry someone richer than us and doesn't want our mother anymore!" Daya cried bitterly.

Lu Qiniang kept wiping her tears. "Why are you crying, child? Don't cry. Be obedient, Hadaya. Don't cry. It's nothing."

She thought that she and Zhang Heyao were not a good match to begin with.

Erya's eyes widened with anger when she heard that. She rushed forward and was about to hit Zhang Heyao with the piece of meat.

Zhang Heyao was caught off guard and was hit by her. A long greasy mark appeared on the chest of the round-necked red robe he had specially changed into.

He suddenly became angry and slapped Erya hard in the face with his backhand.

Arya staggered and fell down—

A warm embrace.

Amid the roaring in her ears, she saw Xiao Yan's familiar face. She felt wronged and burst into tears, "Dad, Dad, he hit me!"

"Erya, Erya, what's wrong? Let me see you." Lu Qin's mother ran over and took Erya from Xiao Yan's hands.

"Mom," Erya touched her face, tears falling heavily, "Mom, my face hurts so much, is it disfigured?"

Her voice lowered, and with great grievance, she said, "Mom, you've never been willing to hit me in the face."

Lu Qiniang held her tightly in her arms.

The door was open, and the people outside probably saw Xiao Yan come in, so they followed him in. Now there were a lot of people outside.

"Who are you?" Zhang Heyao looked at Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yan was dressed in coarse cloth, he had an extraordinary demeanor.

Moreover, Zhang Heyao clearly heard Erya calling him "Dad".

"Xiao Yan."

"Xiao Yan? Are you the former General Po Lu, Xiao Yan?"

"yes."

"What are you doing in my house?" Zhang Heyao looked at him with fear.

"He came to see me." Lu Qiniang let go of Erya and walked over, saying, "I know him."

"How do you know him?"

"It can't be explained in a few words, and there's no need to say more." Lu Qiniang said.

At this time, perhaps because there were so many people at the door, the aggrieved Erya suddenly shouted, "Zhang Heyao is shameless. He divorced his wife and remarried, and he doesn't want my mother anymore. Is there any justice in this world? God, why don't you open your eyes and strike that ungrateful bastard to death!"

Everyone was stunned and whispered to each other.

But when Zhang Heyao gave them a cold look, everyone fell silent, and no one stood up to speak for Lu Qiniang.

Except for - Mrs. Sun who came trembling.

"Zhang Heyao, you can't lose your conscience!" She was supported by Sun Shun, tears still on her face. "How can you marry someone else? Even if you marry someone else, you can't ignore Qi Niang. Qi Niang sent your parents away and stayed with you for so many years. You can't do that!"

Sun Shun looked helpless.

Lu Qiniang went forward to help her: "Don't get excited, it's not a big deal. We can live together if we can, and we can live without each other if we can't. I've been thinking about going out to find a house and moving out in the next few days."

"Why are you looking for a house? Come live with me! Others are afraid of offending Zhang Heyao, but I'm not. A person should have a conscience!"

Lu Qiniang shook her head.

She could see that Sun Shun was also wearing official uniform and was an official of some kind.

Moreover, Sun Shun couldn't help but look at Zhang Heyao with fear in his eyes.

The two should have come back together, and Sun Shun followed Zhang Heyao.

Why involve others?

It was clearly a matter between her and Zhang Heyao.

"Come with me." Xiao Yan said.
