Lou Chong's attitude is acceptable, Qin Jian silently affirmed in his heart.
The servant was startled and led the way with a mournful face.
He Jiuniang was helping Lu Baichuan get out of bed to walk around and stretch his muscles when they heard a cacophony of footsteps approaching, along with the pleading voice of his servant: "My lords, please calm down! It's a misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Hey, no, no, let me report first... Ah!"
A servant let out a scream, and the door was kicked open, revealing Qin Jian's furious voice.
"Lu Baichuan! You heartless bastard! Your sister-in-law is still worried about you in Jingzhou, and you've already found a new lover! You even have the servants address her as 'Madam,' does she deserve it? Let me see what that vixen looks like, I'll tear her face to shreds today for your sister-in-law!"
Qin Jian came in and saw the two of them walking together, supporting each other. Since they were facing away from him, he didn't even think about He Jiu Niang and reached out to grab the back of her collar.
He Jiuniang reacted quickly, turning her head to dodge and then turning her face back.
Qin Jian and the people behind him were stunned. How come this woman looks exactly like his sister-in-law?
Could it be that Lu Baichuan missed his younger brother/sister-in-law so much that she fell ill, and therefore found a substitute?
That shouldn't be! You managed to endure so many years in Nantai, but you can't even handle it after only a few days in Jinzhou?
Is this reasonable?
That's definitely unreasonable!
Therefore, Lu Baichuan must have had someone set a trap for him; this woman is definitely a spy sent by Lin Yiping!
"Hehe, Brother Qin!"
He Jiuniang had always had a good impression of Qin Jian, and now that she saw him speak up for her as soon as he came in, she was overjoyed.
"Get out of here! Who are you calling Brother Qin? Who is your Brother Qin? Don't try to claim kinship with me! Don't think that just because you have my sister-in-law's face, I'll be polite to you!"
Qin Jian spoke with absolute confidence. His sister-in-law was still on her way, and he had to get rid of this little vixen so that his sister-in-law wouldn't be saddened by her presence.
As long as neither of them tells anyone, the younger brother and sister-in-law will never know that they have been cheated on, and therefore will not be sad.
He Jiuniang never expected Qin Jian to react this way. She wanted to laugh, but before she could explain, Qin Jian stopped her: "Don't talk. I don't want to hear you talk at all!"
He Jiuniang: ...
Lu Baichuan: ...
"she……"
He wanted to say a few words in defense of his wife, since she had special abilities and the situation had escalated to this point, and an explanation was needed.
"Shut up too! You're physically injured, not mentally. How can you be so stupid? Just because someone looks like you doesn't mean they're your sister-in-law. Let me tell you, she left even later than me and won't arrive until this afternoon. Let's see how you explain this to her!"
Lu Baichuan was fine when he didn't speak, but the moment he opened his mouth, he immediately drew Qin Jian's anger to himself, and Qin Jian launched into a tirade of abuse at him.
He Jiuniang stood aside, feeling guilty but also very touched. She was so unreliable, yet Qin Jian and the others still helped her like this. She was truly moved.
Lu Baichuan didn't want to struggle anymore; he just waited for them to scold him, feeling utterly hopeless.
Yes, it's them.
At first, only Qin Jian was cursing, but soon Lou Chong joined in, and then the other brothers also joined in, cursing more and more enthusiastically.
It could be simply because Jiu Niang spoke out, or it could be to join in the fun, or it could be because they felt this was a rare opportunity to criticize their boss, and they figured they might as well do it while they could.
It's unclear how long they cursed, but He Jiuniang had already silently drunk two cups of tea before they gradually stopped.
Qin Jian cursed the most fiercely, his mouth dry. He turned his head and saw He Jiuniang leisurely drinking water. He was instantly displeased and pointed at He Jiuniang: "You, bring me a cup of tea!"
Lu Baichuan couldn't hold back any longer and frowned, saying, "Don't go too far!"
He Jiuniang didn't think anything of it. She took a clean cup, poured a cup for Qin Jian, and handed it to him. Qin Jian snorted and drank it down in one gulp.
After finishing his drink, he continued to scold, "What, I only asked you to do this once, and you're already feeling sorry for me? When your sister-in-law comes, let's see how you explain this!"
"Have you forgotten how hard it was for her to raise the dog alone at home all these years since you left home? And all those businesses in your family were built up by your brother and sister-in-law. Even if you have no conscience, you can't marry a fake like this!"
"Also, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu really like their younger brother and sister-in-law. I'd like to see how you're going to explain this to them! Humph!"
Qin Jian grew angrier the more he thought about it. He had already decided to shut up, but he started babbling on and on.
Lu Baichuan rolled his eyes, looking utterly helpless.
Can you please explain this to me?
Lu Baichuan finally found a chance to speak, his face filled with utter despair.
"An explanation? What good explanation can you come up with? Are you saying you couldn't control yourself for a moment? Or that you were lonely here and wanted someone to keep you company? Do you think I'd listen to your nonsense?"
Qin Jian no longer felt any of the worries he had for Lu Baichuan; he was just filled with rage. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have rushed over!
Heaven knows they hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and had to change horses countless times to get here, only to witness such an unfortunate scene.
No one knows how he feels, and no one can understand!
He was unhappy, and he wanted to make Lu Baichuan unhappy too!
"What nonsense are you spouting? This is my wife!"
Lu Baichuan spoke loudly, wanting to make his point clear.
But Qin Jian didn't see it that way. Hearing this, he became even more furious and roared, "How many times have I told you? Your sister-in-law is still on her way! You've been fooled! This isn't your sister-in-law, it's a fake! A fake! What's wrong with your brain?!"
Qin Jian got very close, and his spittle landed on Lu Baichuan's face. If it weren't for Lu Baichuan's injury, he would have hit him.
He Jiuniang felt that it was useless to say anything now. Qin Jian would never believe that she was the real He Jiuniang. If she spoke now, she might even be scolded. So she stood aside and watched them, planning to wait until they finished arguing before speaking.
Lu Baichuan looked at He Jiuniang speechlessly. He felt that if Qin Jian continued to scold him, he would really start to doubt whether the woman in front of him was really his wife...
It's toxic and brainwashing.
He Jiuniang didn't argue with them. After a while, she came back with a large pot of milk tea. She poured a cup for everyone present and asked considerately, "You've been cursing for so long, are you thirsty? Come on, have a cup of milk tea to soothe your throat."
Before anyone could react, a cup of milk tea was shoved into their hands. The aroma of milk and tea mixed together left everyone somewhat shocked.
"You shameless imposter! You even stole my sister-in-law's milk tea recipe, you're so shameless..."
Qin Jian took a bite, then cursed loudly. Before he could finish speaking, a silver needle flew over and pierced his speech acupoint, rendering him speechless instantly.
