Chapter 82: Clearly Provoking Trouble
Thinking back to a few days ago, after Ye Zhonglin had forced the poison out of the man, he left a meaningful message: "Although Mr. Huo's meridians are weak, his foundation is excellent. Now that he can open his eyes, he can also perform sexual activities with his wife."
It's not that he can't do it, but he would rather say this than let her be blamed.
Liang Weiyuan couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart. Recalling the ruthless man in her previous life, she felt relieved that he probably had no such thoughts.
They were husband and wife in name only, but they had no feelings for each other. Moreover, she was bent on revenge, and Huo Jin could only benefit her by acting like a gentleman.
"I'll do as my husband says." Liang Weiyuan agreed with a smile, and took the man's hand to massage him as usual.
But seeing that she agreed so quickly, Huo Jin was stunned.
He turned his head away, avoiding her gaze, and a small, hoarse sigh escaped from his throat.
The Qingzhu Courtyard lived in peace and tranquility, but the West Wing Courtyard had been in turmoil since the concubine was accepted.
In the past two days, Lu'e was very pampered and stayed in Huo Siyuan's house all day and all night, but she never saw him.
I finally caught him today.
Liang Shanyu was half lying on a carved soft chair, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Lvye who was watering the flowers in the yard, her eyes filled with resentment.
"Humph, the little bitch has some free time."
She gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath. The discomfort of pregnancy made her temper even worse, and Lu'e's pampered and cared-for appearance was like a thorn, making it difficult for her to sleep or eat.
At this moment, Lu'e happened to look up and saw Liang Shanyu at the second-floor window.
She hurriedly bowed, her crimson gauze dress accentuating her slender figure. A timid smile played on her face as she said, "Madam, how are you?"
This gentle voice was like adding fuel to the fire. Liang Shanyu stood up suddenly, held her waist and walked down the stairs quickly. Her heavy footsteps made a harsh friction sound.
Liang Shanyu rushed to Lu'e, glanced at the lush green flowers, and angrily scolded her using the excuse she had prepared when she came downstairs, "Who allowed you to use the good water in the mansion to water the flowers?"
She snatched the copper pot from Lu'e and threw it to the ground.
"Don't you know that it's the dry season now and water is in short supply in the mansion? Are you so extravagant and wasteful?!"
dry season?
There was indeed a drought in the north a few months ago, but it has long since eased. What does it have to do with her watering the flowers?
It's obvious that he is being mean to her.
Lu'e cursed in her heart, but her small and charming face turned pale. She quickly knelt down and said:
"Madam, please forgive me. I come from a humble background and never leave the house, so I'm unaware of these things going on. It was the Second Young Master who asked me to find something to do. I saw the beautiful flower garden and just now I had the idea of watering the flowers..."
Liang Shanyu became angry when she mentioned Huo Siyuan.
He actually doted on this lowly maid so much and even let her find some fun on her own. Doesn't that mean the entire Second House can let her run wild?
Then where would her status as the second wife be?!
"I don't know?" Liang Shanyu sneered and stared at her condescendingly.
"This lady sees that you did this intentionally. You've become arrogant and lawless because of your seductive beauty. As the wife of the head of the family, I must teach you a lesson!"
"Someone, come here! Beat this bitch with twenty lashes!"
Several maids looked at each other and didn't dare to step forward.
Seeing that no one took action, Liang Shanyu screamed in rage, "What? You don't even listen to me?"
"Madam is pregnant, please don't be angry." Lu'e's eyes turned red in an instant. She threw herself straight to Liang Shanyu's feet, tilted her head back and tears filled her eyes.
"This is all my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment, but I only ask that Madam, for the sake of the unborn child, please don't get too angry and harm yourself."
These words were spoken with sincerity, but they made Liang Shanyu even more disgusted.
A bastard is a bastard. He always looks so disgusting.
Looking at Lu'e's delicate and fair face, a strong jealousy surged in her heart, and she immediately slapped her without hesitation -
The sound of the slap startled the birds in the corridor and flew away.
Lu'e was beaten to the ground, five finger marks instantly appeared on her cheek, her hair was messy and stuck to her pale face, making her look even more weak and pitiful.
"stop!"
Just as Lu'e was trembling, Huo Siyuan's roar suddenly came from behind.
He took two steps at a time and quickly stepped forward, looking at Liang Shanyu with a gloomy face.
Liang Shanyu stumbled and bumped into the corridor pillar, causing pain in her lower back. The fetus in her womb stirred slightly, making her face turn pale with fright.
"Are you crazy?!"
Huo Siyuan squatted down to protect Lu'e, looking at the bleeding corner of her mouth, his eyes instantly filled with worry.
Lu'e was held in his arms, and her red eyes, like those of a fawn, looked at Liang Shanyu in panic, "Sir, it was my fault. I shouldn't have taken the initiative to water the flowers and plants! Sir, please don't blame Madam. It's all my fault!"
