"This is just a small matter."
Mrs. Tang was wary of her sudden humiliation and sarcastically said, "A trivial matter? Murder and arson are trivial matters in your eyes, General's wife. What is this trivial matter?"
"Do you have to be so sarcastic when you talk?!" Lu Xiaoxiao was anxious. This woman was not like this before. She was so obedient before. She would do whatever he told her to do if he had a hold over her. But now, she is difficult to control.
"Is this the attitude of the general's wife when asking for help?" Mrs. Tang gently blew the tea in her hand to cool it down and looked up at Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao was deflated. She was no longer the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Lu family. Now that she was no longer favored by General Jin, she had no power in Funing.
You can only lower your posture and beg for help humbly.
But she was not willing to let the mean woman in the seat look at her so proudly and arrogantly, staring at her with the same disgust as before.
"Tang Cuiyan, don't forget that I still have something on you!" Lu Xiaoxiao had already fallen out with him. At worst, she would just expose what happened back then and let Tang Cuiyan be buried with her!
"What are you talking about, you crazy woman?!" Mrs. Tang was also anxious. Lu Xiaoxiao was indeed crazy. "You still have something on me? Go ahead and tell everyone. Who will believe you?"
"Heh," Lu Xiaoxiao's messy hair stuck to her face, making her look like a ghost seeking revenge. "I don't know if others believe this, but Prime Minister Tang, I'm afraid you'll believe it without a doubt, right? How many people did you kill to get to where you are today? How many corpses did you step on to climb to the top? Tang Cuiyan, you know this clearly, right?"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Tang slapped Lu Xiaoxiao in the face. The tea on the table next to her spilled onto the ground due to the sudden vibration. The fragments of the precious teacup hit the ground with a sharp sound. Lu Xiaoxiao covered her face and giggled.
"Is the Prime Minister's wife afraid?"
In the past, Prime Minister Tang had always been very suspicious of Madam Tang. When his favorite concubine was murdered, he suspected Madam Tang.
"Mom, what happened?" Tang Hai came back from outside and heard the sound of something breaking in the front hall. He bowed to Lu Xiaoxiao before noticing the broken teacups on the floor. He asked, "What happened?"
"It's okay." Madam Tang adjusted her hair. "You can go back first. The General's wife and I have something to discuss."
"yes."
Tang Hai bowed and was about to leave, but Mrs. Tang stopped him again and told him, "Don't tell your father about what happened today."
"Son understands."
Lu Xiaoxiao watched all this coldly. Tang Cuiyan was really cautious.
"Tell me," Mrs. Tang said, after confirming that Tang Hai had left, she calmed down her out-of-control emotions and sat back in the main seat. "What do you want me to help you with?"
Lu Xiaoxiao said: "I want to find a husband for Wen'er."
Mrs. Tang stared at her in disbelief. She had heard about Yu Jingfeng's death, and the unsolved case remained unsolved to this day.
But she also heard that Jin Xiwen lost her unborn baby because of this incident, and she went crazy due to the excessive mental pressure and such a great blow.
Although she is pitiful, how could any decent man want a woman like this?
"I can't help you." She said decisively, "Even if your crazy daughter finds a husband, he won't be a good man. I guess only butchers who deal in blood all day long, or widows with families to support, would want him."
Her words irritated Lu Xiaoxiao. Even if she didn't want to help, then that was fine. She was also humiliated. How could she have thought of asking this arrogant guy for help?
"If you don't want to help, then don't help. I won't do anything to you." Lu Xiaoxiao suppressed her anger. She only had this one daughter. She held her in her hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in her mouth for fear of her melting. How could she tolerate being humiliated in front of her like this? "Wen'er is also your niece. Tang Cuiyan, you really are heartless. I should have listened to my father and not brought you home!"
Lu Xiaoxiao spoke with righteous indignation, and Mrs. Tang, or Tang Cuiyan as she called her, laughed.
Laughing in anger, she approached the Lu family and said word by word, "If Miss Lu hadn't 'rescued' me that day, I wouldn't have been separated from my father, and I wouldn't have ended up serving as a servant in a filthy family like yours! If I hadn't married the Prime Minister based on my own abilities, would you, the Lu family, have suppressed me for the rest of my life?"
Twenty-five years ago, the ten-year-old Mrs. Tang, also known as Tang Cuiyan, accompanied her general, General Tang, who was still a general at the time, to the battlefield.
When passing through a village, they encountered robbers and she was separated from her father and fainted on the roadside. Lu's father, who was transporting goods, saw her and took the ten-year-old Tang Cuiyan into a carriage and went to the city for treatment.
As luck would have it, when General Tang went back to look for Tang Cuiyan, he couldn't find her. Tang Cuiyan was unconscious due to a high fever caused by an infected wound, and Lu's father and his group had to hurry on their journey, so they had to take her with them, planning to slowly look for her family later.
But tragically, the Lu family was in Jiangnan at that time, and General Tang's destination was the northwest, so he kept sending people to look for Tang Cuiyan on the road from the northwest to Funing, but he could never find her.
Later, Tang Cuiyan woke up and remembered that she was from Funing, but because she discovered the secret of the Lu family, she was forced to stay and live as a servant, and was assigned to be Lu Xiaoxiao's personal maid.
Before the age of sixteen, Lu Xiaoxiao felt superior to Tang Cuiyan.
Tang Cuiyan is prettier than her, can play more musical instruments than her, and knows more ancient poems than her.
Although her father never said it since she was a child, Lu Xiaoxiao always felt that her father liked Tang Cuiyan more.
