"How could something happen to someone who was perfectly fine in bed? What do you take your family for? Blood-sucking wolves or tigers that are about to tear apart bones?"
A cold, stern voice rang out in front of him. Qiao Lian'er stood up and walked towards him step by step.
Although she was much shorter than Da Meng, her imposing presence forced Da Meng to retreat continuously.
When Da Meng saw that it was Qiao Lian'er, he immediately felt guilty and became timid, and began to stammer.
"Lian'er, I... I didn't mean that. I didn't say anyone was bad. It's because... it's because—"
Da Meng couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"Come with me."
Qiao Lian'er walked out of the room, her face showing no sign of softening.
The girl was startled by the sight and tried to get out of bed, but Lingyin stopped her.
"It's all my fault," the girl said, feeling very guilty.
Because of her, the Qiao family members had unpleasant conflicts, and she was the sinner.
“You should lie in bed. Our Lian’er is the Princess Zhenguo. She has the right to discipline everyone in the family. Dameng is her subordinate. As a subordinate, he must obey orders from above,” said Madam Lü.
Actually, she knew she shouldn't blame the girl; it seemed that Da Meng acted on his own initiative. But because of Du Qinglan's example, she always felt uneasy.
She just couldn't understand why similar things kept happening to Da Meng.
Qiao Lian'er went straight to the hall.
Da Meng followed behind her, head down, looking like he had done something wrong.
However, his expression showed some resentment. The reason he felt he had done something wrong was simply because he had almost bumped into Qiao Lian'er.
What wrong has he done in other matters?
Qiao Lian'er sat down at the head of the table, while Da Meng sat down beside him.
"Lian'er, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in the room, I thought..."
"You thought the Qiao family was going to throw that girl out into the street, didn't you?" Qiao Lian'er chuckled.
"If they really want to throw it, can you stop them? You have those few soldiers, but no one else? They can't even stand up to you?"
Da Meng looked somewhat bewildered.
“But my grandparents all made me... not just them, but other people made the same demands of me.”
"Why do I have to ask this of you? Because you brought these people in, so you have to clean up the mess. It's your responsibility." Qiao Lian'er exhaled a breath of stale air.
She wondered if Da Meng was missing a screw in his head.
"What kind of family is the Qiao family now? They may not have much status, but they are upright and honest. They always respect the distinction between men and women. Now you bring a girl of unknown origin into the house. What kind of person is she? What is her family background? What is her origin? Do you know anything about her? Tell me about it."
Da Meng was speechless.
"The Qiao family has weathered so many storms, and every step they've taken has been done with utmost care. What if your carelessness brings trouble to the Qiao family? Yes, this girl doesn't seem like an outsider. What if she has other entanglements?"
