Of the three sons, the youngest son and his wife are the ones who cause them the least worry.
They also favored Ning Yue a bit more. Ning Yue was skilled in many things and had become a well-known capable wife in the surrounding villages. However, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow, and they were afraid that her success would attract unwanted attention and cause her to offend the wrong people.
Therefore, upon seeing Linghu Lan's imposing manner, he couldn't help but wonder whether this was a good or bad thing. Was he here to beg Ning Yue to buy things, like the previous times, or had Ning Yue offended someone and come looking for trouble?
Ning Yue's door opened.
Meng Zhuo first scolded his nephew in a bad mood, and Ning Yue then calmly walked out, her face blushing and her eyes full of charm.
She looked up and saw Linghu Lan, her delicate face slightly furrowed.
The person's face was covered by a white veil, preventing anyone from seeing their true appearance, and it was unclear what they wanted from him.
She stepped forward lightly and said softly, "I am Ning Yue. What do you need me for?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Linghu Lan's eyes.
It's clear that Ning Yue's original appearance was only average, but the future Ning Yue transmigrated and, after a few months of grooming, has now become a beautiful and refined woman.
Her face was lightly powdered, her eyebrows were carefully trimmed and drawn into a flat shape, giving her a soft and innocent look. Her eyelashes were permed and curled, and she wore eyeliner, making her eyes bright and alert. Her lips were also carefully drawn, giving her a charming yet resolute gaze.
She looked radiant; in a poor and remote place like Baihua Village, such a makeover was truly remarkable.
She and Meng Zhuo standing together were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "I've heard that Madam Ning is very knowledgeable and talented. I have a few things I'd like to ask you about. I wonder if you have the time to discuss them privately?"
Ning Yue glanced at Meng Zhuo, her eyes full of questions.
Meng Zhu frowned, pulled Ning Yue behind him, and said generously, "My wife is just a country bumpkin, not as learned as you. Just say what you want to say."
Linghu Lan's eyes sparkled. "Since that's the case, then I'll be frank. Lady Ning, you've been resurrected into Ning Yue's body. Are you used to this body?"
These words were spoken.
The Meng family was stunned.
Everyone looked at Ning Yue differently now. Considering the changes in Ning Yue over the past year, they were filled with doubt.
Meng Qingshan and Zhao Shi were the most superstitious people. Although they were terrified, they knew that family scandals should not be aired in public. They quickly scolded, "Are you out of your mind? Coming here to spout nonsense. Even if you are Master Wang's aunt, you can't slander people like this. Come on, Yue'er, come inside with your mother. Your father is outside. Let the men handle this."
Madam Gu hurriedly pulled the frail and seemingly frightened Ning Yue out of Meng Zhuo's arms and led her into the house.
Gu's daughter-in-law stopped the two of them. "Mother, aren't you afraid? That aunt said she's a ghost. You're just pulling her into the house like this. Aren't you afraid she'll harm you?"
Gu Shi unconsciously loosened her grip on Ning Yue's hand, then her eyes turned cold. This second son's wife has been jealous of the third son's wife's competence for a long time. It's one thing on ordinary days, but why is she siding with outsiders today?
She said coldly, "Second son's wife, don't believe everything you hear. I know you don't like the third son's family, but this family isn't your place to make the decisions. Get out of the way."
The second son quickly pulled his wife away and glared at her fiercely. "You want a beating, don't you! You're just hoping things go wrong with the third son's family, aren't you?"
