Chapter 574 Rumors
Lu Qiniang had no idea about the coming storm.
The next day she got up early and called Liu Jian and San Ya to pick out the piglets.
She should finish what she needs to do as soon as possible. By then, Xiaoman will probably be up, and she can find an excuse to go see the child.
But what she didn't expect was that when she came back with the eight little pigs, Zhang Heyao was waiting at her door holding Xiaoman's hand.
Lu Qiniang suddenly panicked.
There are other people around here!
If someone heard Xiaoman calling her "mother", wouldn't the matter be exposed?
What should I do?
However, unexpectedly, when Xiaoman saw her, he just smiled and did not call her, but kept calling San Ya.
"Sister, sister catches the pig, Xiaoman rides the pig."
Lu Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Heyao, but unexpectedly met his calm eyes with a smile.
Lu Qiniang immediately understood.
If she could think of this, how could Zhang Heyao not think of it?
He must have given instructions.
It's rare that Xiaoman is so sensible at such a young age.
He is really like Xiao Yan, always worry-free and rarely causes trouble for others.
Xiaoman is very interested in the piglet.
Lu Qin's mother rarely saw her son, so she spoiled him and didn't rush him into the pigpen. She just let him run around at the door.
Anyway, San Ya and she are here, so we can't let the pig run away.
Let Xiaoman go play.
It turns out that it is her child who likes pigs so much.
Whoever the child is, it belongs to him, there is no doubt about it.
Lu Qiniang accompanied Xiaoman in herding pigs for the whole morning.
Zhang Heyao almost always watched her and even helped her occasionally.
Alas, in the past, when he saw pigs, he was disgusted, as if he had seen something dirty.
It seems out of place that I come to help wearing an official uniform today.
Lu Qiniang really couldn't understand him.
Xiaoman's clothes were soaked from running, so Lu Qiniang drove the pigs into the pigsty and took Xiaoman in to wash her with hot water and change her clothes.
She is very familiar with taking care of children.
Xiaoman was at home and seeing that there was no one else around, she called her "Mom".
It's obvious that the little guy knows how to distinguish occasions.
This is probably related to Zhang Heyao's influence.
After a while, Li Feng, the general of the Northwest, sent someone to invite Zhang Heyao, saying that he heard that he was coming and wanted to hold a banquet to welcome him.
The person who delivered the invitation went to the post house, but found nothing, so he came to Lu Qiniang again.
Zhang Heyao declined politely, "Please go back and thank General Li for his kindness, but I'm here in the Northwest for personal reasons, not official business, so I won't bother you."
The person who delivered the invitation then left respectfully.
Lu Qiniang couldn't help but glance at Zhang Heyao.
Wow, you’re quite stylish.
The General of the Northwest, his rank is higher than his, so why doesn’t he go?
"What's wrong?" Zhang Heyao asked her with a smile, "What do you think is wrong with me?"
Lu Qiniang thought to herself, I not only feel that something is wrong, I also think you are being too pretentious.
"You said you came here for personal matters. Why personal matters?"
"Look at my sister, that's okay." Zhang Heyao took a step back unexpectedly.
Lu Qiniang grumbled, "Thank you, then. But since you're here for personal matters, please don't be so ostentatious in your official uniform."
"I wanted to support you." Zhang Heyao sighed, "I wanted to take you back to Beijing. But I'm really unsure about your stubborn temper. So I thought..."
"Are you thinking of bringing people to knock me out and take me away?" Lu Qiniang curled her lips.
"No, I was thinking, what if you just refuse to come with me? Then I also hope that the people in the northwest will know that you have someone behind you, so they won't dare to look down on you or bully you in the future."
"That's okay... I'm Xiao Yan's wife..."
"After all, it's my love for you." Zhang Heyao said lightly.
Lu Qin's mother didn't know what to say anymore.
In the following days, Zhang Heyao would bring Xiaoman home almost every day.
This made Liu Jian hide and not dare to show up at all.
San Ya accompanies her brother every day, which makes Liu Jian a little jealous.
But it can't be compared, it really can't be compared.
Perhaps it was the nature of mother and son, Xiaoman quickly became familiar with Lu Qin's mother.
He was willing to eat next to her, of course if Zhang Heyao was sitting on the other side; he could even take a nap at Lu Qiniang's place at noon; he was willing to tell her anything...
While Lu Qinniang was happy, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She knew very well that as the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Heyao could not stay here for long.
She and Xiaoman couldn't get along for long.
But now, she was reluctant to persuade Zhang Heyao to leave.
After a few days, something unexpected happened.
The "romantic legend" about Lu Qiniang was widely spread in Changzhou City.
When Lu Qiniang found out, the whole city was in uproar.
Not to mention, the rumors outside were so detailed that they turned her upside down.
They said that Lu Qinniang had bad character and was Zhang Heyao's child bride before. After learning of his death, she had an affair with another man.
This man is not Xiao Yan, but——
The fifth young master.
Yes, these people put a lot of thought into it and even brought out the Fifth Young Master.
It simply means that she had some unspeakable relationship with the fifth son of the Zhou family, and after being driven away by the Zhou family, she became entangled with Xiao Yan.
After Zhang Heyao came back, she broke off her relationship with him on the surface and married Xiao Yan, but before Xiao Yan's body was cold, she seduced Zhang Heyao again.
Look how complete it is.
Zhang Heyao is such a grown man, but he wears official uniform and parades around the city every day. Isn't this just right?
San Ya was filled with righteous indignation. "I want to find out who are the people spouting such filth. I'll catch a few of them and make an example of them, and then the others will behave themselves."
Liu Jian said, "That won't do. If this matter gets out of hand, it will only be bad for Auntie."
People outside don’t care about right or wrong or the truth at all.
As long as it involves relationships between men and women, there will be a collective climax.
Especially Lu Qiniang, who now bears the title of "Xiao Yan's widow", is more likely to be targeted.
All the care she received after coming to the Northwest will now become the target of jealousy and attacks.
San Ya thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she slammed her fist on the table in anger.
This incident made her feel powerless.
If you have the guts, come at me with real weapons. This ability to slander a woman's reputation is nothing.
Lu Qiniang thought about it seriously for a long time and felt that it was a bit of a coincidence that this incident happened at this time.
She had some petty suspicions, wondering if it was Zhang Heyao who had people spread the rumor?
He has a very despicable and shameless criminal record.
But she was also a little uncertain, suspecting that she had been mean-spirited and had wronged Zhang Heyao.
After all, this incident also damaged his own reputation.
If it wasn't Zhang Heyao, then who was it?
Xiao Yan is no longer with us. At most, she can cry a few times in the northwest, and then live her life peacefully and raise pigs. It won't bother anyone. Is it necessary to go to so much trouble to harm her?
I can’t figure it out, I really can’t figure it out.
At this time, Zhang Heyao appeared.
