Chapter 418 She Didn't Intend to Let Him Leave the Capital Alive
Yuan Wanru walked out of Rongshou Hall leisurely. Zhou Fang and Wang Min beside her whispered, "Lu Yuxiu has been married for so many years, but she is still so annoying."
Wang Min smiled but said nothing.
Zhou Fang used to bully her together with Lu Yuxiu, but now she goes with the flow and is very obedient.
She would not bring up the past with Zhou Fang.
Madam Lu is an ungrateful person who is impossible to tame. Now that Zhou Fang has turned from evil to good, she can have less worries in managing the rear house.
Even if the old woman wanted to make trouble again, she couldn't do it alone without any allies.
"She is a married daughter after all. She dared to get angry at us two sisters-in-law when she came back. Does she really think she is the one who calls the shots in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion?"
"Sister-in-law, you are finally tough today."
Yuan Wanru listened and felt that Second Aunt was so considerate, which made her mother less worried.
"Mother, Second Aunt, don't worry about them. Yun'er's wedding is coming soon. Just take care of this matter. I don't think they dare to do anything wrong."
Zhou Fang met her smiling eyes, and for some reason, she could see a murderous intent in them.
Thinking of Zhou Jianming's restless look just now, Zhou Fang was secretly frightened. Could this girl have come up with some bad ideas?
However, if Zhou Jianming really dared to provoke her, he deserved to die.
-
After separating from the two elders, the smile on Yuan Wanru's face disappeared, replaced by a cold look.
Zhou Jianming's sticky and greedy eyes, which seemed to be able to peel off people's clothes, made her stomach churn.
No wonder Liang Yusong in the book chose to use Zhou Jianming to murder the original owner.
People like this are like dogs that can never change their ways and will never be content.
"Xuan Qing."
She called out in a low voice, her voice as cold as a spring.
Xuan Qing stood in the corridor waiting for orders.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Zhou Jianming for twelve hours."
Yuan Wanru's eyes were sharp. "Where did he go, who did he meet, what did he do, especially where he was near the women in the backyard, report everything to me immediately."
There are many young girls in the mansion now, and we can't let him bring harm to them.
"If he dares to raise a finger that shouldn't be raised..."
She paused, a trace of cruelty flashed across her eyes, "Tie him up for me immediately."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xuan Qing felt a little puzzled. How could Zhou Jianming be so blind as to offend his own wife on the first day?
However, he would never have any objection to his wife's orders.
-
After all, they are guests who have come from afar. Even though there were some unpleasant things, we still have to have a welcoming banquet.
Old Madam Lu was very "kind" tonight, not as sharp and mean as usual, and everyone was having a great time at the banquet.
Several girls in the family also showed up. Lu Yun, Lu Rong and others were all grown-up girls with good looks. After seeing them, Zhou Jianming felt very itchy.
However, he was not stupid and did not dare to be too presumptuous. He seemed quite polite.
Zhou Jianming was very attentive and fawning. Lu Jiangnian had nothing to say to him, and he was also a little afraid of Lu Jiangnian.
So he started chatting with Lu Bai and Lu Jiangxun.
After the banquet, Lu Jiangnian returned to Lingshuiju and asked, "Did your aunt make you unhappy today?"
Lu Jiangnian didn't ask deliberately, but he knew that his wife would never lose her sense of propriety in her actions, and she obviously didn't want to pay attention to her aunt tonight.
Aunt Bai Ri must have provoked her, which is why she is so cold.
Yuan Wanru nodded and explained the matter concisely.
"You also said that my aunt and the old lady have similar personalities. I just can't get along with her anyway."
Lu Jiangnian said calmly, "She has always been short-sighted and can't see the situation clearly. It doesn't matter if we don't get along. After all, we are just relatives who don't get along very often."
After saying that, he stood behind Yuan Wanru and helped her take off her jewelry.
Yuan Wanru looked at him in the mirror and said with a smile, "There is one thing you may not know. Today, your cousin's eyes almost grew on me. Tonight, when you are at home, his eyes have become more restrained."
Lu Jiangnian suddenly looked at her in the mirror, murderous intent surging in his eyes: "How dare he!"
Yuan Wanru sneered: "Why would he be afraid? I think he is just used to being a playboy. He thinks any woman would be charmed by him."
“It’s disgusting.”
Lu Jiangnian paused and was about to turn around, but Yuan Wanru immediately pulled him aside and asked, "Where are you going?"
His voice was filled with hostility: "I'm going to break his legs right now! Throw him out of the house!"
Yuan Wanru stopped him clearly: "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not fair for us to take action now, so why bother?"
"There are other people's eyes in the mansion now, so we should be cautious in everything we do."
Lu Jiangnian looked at him disapprovingly: "There's no need to wait to deal with this kind of person."
"Even if it's a cover-up, I can still destroy him."
Yuan Wanru knew that Zhou Jianming had touched his sore spot.
She stood up and hugged his waist from behind: "You, I have already made arrangements. Someone is watching him. If he really has evil thoughts, just throw him and his aunt out together."
"Someone from Rongshou Hall said that my aunt wants to find a marriage for Zhou Bitch in the capital. It seems that she plans to stay here for a long time."
"I don't like either of these mother and son, so I always have to find a reasonable excuse to get rid of them."
"besides,"
She dragged him over, pulled him to sit down, and then threw herself into his arms.
"Sister Yun's wedding is coming up soon. This is the most important happy event in the mansion. If we let a scum like Zhou Jianming cause unrest in the family and even make outsiders laugh at us, it will ruin Sister Yun's happiness and the reputation of the mansion. It will not be worth it."
More importantly, she didn't say it.
That is, no matter what, she would not let Zhou Jianming leave the capital alive.
But he has to make the mistake first, doesn't he?
She has always been a good person. Is killing people just to eliminate evil and punish criminals?
That's right.
After thinking it over, Lu Jiangnian agreed.
"As soon as Lu Yun's marriage is over, he will be dealt with."
If you dare to offend his wife, you think your life is too long.
-
It turned out to be just as Yuan Wanru had expected.
Zhou Jianming stayed in the Marquis' Mansion for two days. Relying on the favoritism of the old lady and Lu Yuxiu, he regarded himself as half the master.
He was smart and didn't dare to provoke Yuan Wanru again - the coldness and warning in her eyes that day made him instinctively feel dangerous.
But Zhou Jianming was born restless, and his pair of shifty eyes had already begun to prowl around other corners of the backyard.
That afternoon, Xuan Qing's trusted guard who was sent to follow came to report in a hurry: "Madam, Zhou Jianming wandered around the garden for a long time under the pretext of being 'familiar with the mansion', and later... he found his way to the courtyard where Miss Liang lived."
Because of Lu Jiangnian's attitude towards Liang Yuhua, these confidants never called Liang Yuhua "aunt".
Yuan Wanru's eyes narrowed.
Zhou Jianming is quite smart.
He had probably found out that Liang Yuhua was out of favor and had an awkward position in the mansion, so this filthy bastard had his eyes on her!
"What did he do?"
Yuan Wanru's voice sank.
"He didn't do anything, just walked around outside and saw Miss Liang. Miss Liang ignored him. Zhou Jianming looked at Miss Liang with a rather... vulgar expression."
