In her previous life, Lu Qiaoxiao was the esteemed eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate. Yet, on the day she married into the Pei family, her husband married two women at once, confiscatin...
Chapter 41 Punishing the Delicate White Lotus
In her previous life, Wang Xiuwan came to the Lu family holding two children in her hands and with a big belly. Not only did she come to the Lu family, she also came to Qingcheng Mountain to question the Qiao family.
At that time, Mrs. Qiao was not at home, so she was received by Qiao Yu. Although he did not beat or scold her because Wang Xiuwan was pregnant, he did speak coldly to her.
In the end, Wang Xiuwan had a miscarriage in the Qiao family, which caused Lu Yong to curse the Qiao family as a group of unreasonable barbarians.
In the end, Wang returned to the capital with tears in her eyes, and spread bad things about the Qiao family of Qingcheng Mountain.
This incident completely made Lu Yong's heart lean towards Wang Xiuwan, and from then on he ignored his mother without any scruples.
In this life, how could she make Wang happy?
——
Led by Old Madam Qiao, they walked in the front. Qiao Shan and Qiao Xiao each held the old madam's left and right hands and walked out with solemn steps.
Wang Xiuwan was stunned when she saw the calm faces of the people from afar.
Even the hot-tempered second daughter of the Qiao family just frowned and didn't look like she was about to throw a tantrum or go crazy.
"I pay my respects to Madam Qiao." Wang Xiuwan lowered her eyebrows, but a gleam of light flashed in her eyes from time to time.
She came here to put an end to the arrogance of that bitch Qiao Lin.
Humph, so what if I have a good mother’s family?
Isn't it true that she is not favored by her husband and can only retreat back to her parents' home in disgrace?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiuwan felt happy again.
Qiao Dongjun said in a gentle voice, "Auntie Wang, I know you are weak, so you don't have to be polite. Please stand up and come in and sit down."
Wang Xiuwan frowned. It seemed as if these words were meant to imply something about her, but there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Now, there are many people gathered outside the Qiao family. They heard that the most favored youngest daughter of the Qiao family has returned to her parents' home, and the concubine taken by the youngest daughter's husband has also come with her. Everyone thinks it is a strange thing.
"Madam Qiao, I dare not enter the house. The people in the house are all from your Qiao family. I am a concubine, and my husband is locked in there by the Qiao family. Why don't you let your husband come out first, and then I will go in with you?"
Wang Xiuwan's eyes and eyebrows were timid, and she looked like she had suffered a grievance.
Qiao Dongjun quietly pinched Lu Qiaoxiao's palm. She wanted to see how her granddaughter would deal with this situation.
Lu Qiaoxiao glanced at the whispering crowd around him, and those who were originally chattering and watching the show immediately fell silent.
Everyone secretly sighed that the granddaughter of the Qiao family was very smart. Her eyes were like a cold knife.
Wang Xiuwan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and she met the little hoof's eyes.
This person is obviously of a different generation from her, but for no reason he makes her feel afraid.
"What are you talking about, Auntie? Daddy won't be here until around noon, and you're following him after noon. I wonder if it's because you miss him too much?"
Before Wang Xiuwan could respond, Lu Qiaoxiao said quietly, "On weekdays, Auntie always likes to stick to Daddy when she's at home, and now she's even stuck to Daddy's wife's family."
"If it gets out, people who know you will say you love your husband. People who don't know you will think you like to seduce men and can't leave them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Xiuwan's face turned red. This little bitch was very sharp-tongued and hit the nail on the head.
She had a good mental state after all, and she maintained a calm tone, saying softly: "Xiaoxiao, you can't say that. After all, I am your elder."
Lu Qiaoxiao sneered, "Elder? If you mean elder, have you ever considered my grandmother an elder? Even a noble family needs a visiting card."
"Although the Qiao family isn't a wealthy one, they are at least a respectable one. You came here without saying a word or even saying hello. Do you want people to say that our Yong'an Marquis Mansion has no rules?"
"Besides, when you said you didn't dare to enter the house, didn't you mean that the Qiao family's house was full of wolves, tigers and leopards?"
There were already some clever people outside the door who had understood what Lu Qiaoxiao meant. Someone shouted first, "How could the Qiao family be full of wolves and tigers? They are all kind-hearted people."
"Yes, Madam Wang, what do you mean? The Qiao family are all good people!"
Wang Xiuwan's face turned pale and blue, she was a little confused, and stammered: "I didn't mean that -"
Lu Qiaoxiao snorted again, swaying his steps as he walked up to her and met her eyes. "Auntie Wang, everyone is here today. I am both a daughter of the Lu family and a daughter of the Qiao family. I have to be fair in what I say. Please listen to what a junior has to say."
"Just now you kept calling me husband. Were you referring to my father Lu Yong? But my father Lu Yong's wife is Mrs. Qiao."
"If not—you are the daughter of the Qiao family? Or do you not want to be surnamed Wang and want to be a daughter of the Qiao family?"
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes were like a poisonous snake, clutching Wang Xiuwan.
The usually gentle face of the beauty was now covered with a layer of sweat, and her skin was a guilty pink.
Wang Xiuwan only felt that there were countless eyes staring at her from behind. Her legs felt a little weak and her vision was getting dark.
At this time, two tall figures walked out of the house. The scene of the father-in-law and son-in-law walking side by side was even more rare and strange.
Mu Qi's face was filled with anger. He had just managed to calm down in the house, but when he heard that the bastard concubine had come to him on her own initiative, he almost fainted from anger.
It was the nanny who had served the old lady for many years who came over to calm him down and told him not to be impulsive.
Lu Yong wanted to speak up, but because of the authority of his father-in-law next to him, he could only suppress his manly heart that wanted to protect the woman.
Qiao Lin was so angry that she was shaking like a sieve. It was okay for this bitch to be a little rampant in the Lu family on weekdays.
Now he dares to come to her parents' home to show off his power. Isn't he deliberately trying to piss off her parents?
Lu Qiaoxiao thought to himself: Now that we are all here, let’s go.
She decided to provoke Wang Xiuwan again, so she glanced at her leisurely, her voice full of momentum: "Auntie, now that my father and mother are here, can you see clearly who is the husband and who is the wife?"
Wang Xiuwan's shoulders trembled slightly, and there was a hint of grievance between her brows, which made Lu Yong's heart soften. He was about to speak when he was frightened back by his father-in-law's cold eyes.
Three, two, one
Lu Qiaoxiao counted silently in his heart until it reached one.
The person who was acting tenderly and aggrieved just a moment ago, fainted on the ground like a willow catkin without being affected by the wind.
"Wan'er!" Lu Yong finally broke through the crowd and hugged the person with closed eyes on the ground with one hand, his eyes full of heartache.
Lu Qiaoxiao held Qiao Lin's shoulders and said softly, "Mom, do you see now? The only one he cares about is Wang Xiuwan, even if she is pretending."
After saying that, Lu Qiaoxiao clearly felt the person next to him tremble suddenly.
"Someone come! Get a doctor to take a look!" Qiao Dongjun gave the order, his voice filled with joy.
She was quite satisfied with what her granddaughter had said just now. She used both kindness and force to slap the bitch in the face and enhance the prestige of her Qiao family.
The process was exhilarating.
Glancing at Qiao Lin's somewhat distracted look, Qiao Dongjun felt a faint hope in his heart:
I hope, I hope this good-for-nothing little daughter of hers can wake up.
The doctor quickly arrived with a medicine box. Just as he was about to give Wang Xiuwan medicine for heatstroke, Lu Qiaoxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Young Master, I heard that acupuncture is quite effective in treating heatstroke. Why not use the fastest method to solve it?"
"First, give me acupuncture, then the ginseng tonic soup. Give them all to me. Don't neglect them!"
