She was beaten twenty times, which almost killed Yu Meng. The pain kept her awake at night. The injury was on her buttocks, so she could only lie on her stomach.
"Yu Meng, how are you? I brought you some white fungus soup." Xia Yuqiu pushed open the door and walked in, carrying the soup. "This was specially ordered by Miss to be made for you by the kitchen. Miss is so good to you."
“Miss and I grew up together since childhood, and our bond is something you can’t compare to.” Yu Meng’s tone revealed a hint of smugness.
"So, from now on, don't be disrespectful to Miss Xia, lest you make things difficult for her. Miss only has this one maternal uncle."
Although Miss Xia comes from a humble background, she must possess extraordinary abilities; otherwise, why would the general treat her with such special regard?
At this point, Xia Yuqiu secretly observed Yu Meng's expression, and sure enough, her face was extremely pale!
Xia Yuqiu was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it on her face and continued, "But Miss Xia is really petty. You didn't do anything today, and she still complained to the general."
Now that you've offended her, who knows how she'll retaliate after she marries into the family.
After saying that, Xia Yuqiu sighed, as if she was sympathizing with Yu Meng.
Upon hearing this, Yu Meng's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Yu Meng retorted coldly, "A country bumpkin like her, does she really think the general likes her? She's just playing around!"
"Yu Meng, you can't say things like that so casually. Be careful the general doesn't hear you," Xia Yuqiu warned in a low voice, looking frightened.
"Regardless of her background, she is undeniably the General's wife, and we can only treat her with respect. Even for the sake of Miss, we must respect her!"
"Whether she goes to the capital or Xiangzhou in the future, we must help her. We can't let her be bullied, otherwise it will be a disgrace to Miss. Miss has been so good to you, you can't let her lose face."
Upon hearing the names Xiangzhou City and the capital, Yu Meng suddenly felt enlightened!
If she can't do anything to Xia Chunmei, what about the Baili family in the capital? And Zhou Shumin from Xiangzhou?
Baili Xiao is a dignified second-rank general and a member of the Baili family. Even if he is born out of wedlock and even if the Baili family did not acknowledge him back then, the Baili family would never allow him to marry a country girl!
Yu Meng had heard Su Xuedan mention that the Baili family wanted to interfere in the general's marriage and tried to control this "illegitimate son" whom they had not recognized back then!
She also knew that there was a Miss Zhou in Xiangzhou City who admired the general!
If this gets back to Zhou Shumin, given Zhou Shumin's personality, well, Xia Chunmei will be finished!
It's too far from the capital, and Yu Meng doesn't know anyone there. After thinking it over, she decided it would be better to pass the message on to Zhou Shumin.
"Yuqiu, I'm injured and can't walk. I want to write a letter to my cousin. Could you help me deliver it to the post station?"
The post station was frequented by many merchants, and people usually had these merchants deliver their messages for them, paying only for a small amount of tea.
"Then hurry up and write it. I'll go to the post station first thing tomorrow morning."
Xia Yuqiu thoughtfully brought Yumeng a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Yu Meng thought Xia Yuqiu was very perceptive, gentle, and had a pleasant voice.
Little did she know, Yu Meng's actions were exactly what Xia Yu Qiu wanted!
Xia Yuqiu knew that Yumeng had been spoiled by Su Xuedan, knew that she actually cared about Baili Xiao, and knew that she was petty. That's why Xia Yuqiu said those things just now. At first glance, those words seemed insignificant, but in reality, she was hinting at something to Yumeng.
It was implying to her that Xia Chunmei was not good enough for Baili Xiao!
This is a subtle hint to her that Xia Chunmei will take revenge on her after she enters the house!
She was implying that she didn't need to deal with Xia Chunmei herself; all she had to do was leak the news of Xia Chunmei's marriage to Baili Xiao, and the Baili family and Zhou Shumin would take action on their own!
As expected, Yu Meng took the bait!
Xia Yuqiu was certain that the letter was not addressed to her cousin, but to Zhou Shumin!
Zhou Shumin is the niece of the Xiangzhou Tongpan. She is arrogant and domineering, and has repeatedly created opportunities to encounter Baili Xiao in Xiangzhou City.
However, Baili Xiao made his refusal very clear. If she knew that Baili Xiao had rejected her but was going to marry a country girl, she would definitely not let Xia Chunmei go!
