Based on her understanding of men, Mrs. Qian felt that no man could withstand such a test.
Especially Lu Baichuan, whose wife had been pregnant for so long without a maidservant by her side, made Madam Qian very confident.
She had considered all sorts of possibilities, but she never expected that Lu Baichuan would vomit upon seeing her in such a seductive state.
He was very polite; he turned away to vomit.
Mrs. Qian stared wide-eyed as he finished vomiting.
It wasn't until Lu Baichuan finished vomiting, wrapped her in the bed curtains, and carried her out that Madam Qian realized something was wrong.
"Let me go! What are you going to do!"
Madam Qian was terrified. If this man saw a woman vomiting like that, he might just throw her away somewhere.
She is the wife of a prefect, if someone sees this, how can she live?
"Put me down, and I'll give you anything you want, okay?"
Mrs. Qian began to feel afraid. She had carefully arranged everything, but she hadn't expected the man to be uncooperative.
She had even sent away her most trusted maid, so now she had no one to help her.
Lu Baichuan ignored her completely and picked her up and walked forward.
After walking for a while, they could see people. When they saw Lu Baichuan carrying the prefect's wife like that, they were terrified and tried to run away, but Lu Baichuan grabbed them.
"Go and fetch your master, quickly."
Lu Baichuan's voice was very low, and it was clear that he was suppressing his emotions. The servant was quite frightened and ran away after responding.
Lu Baichuan carried Madam Qian to the main hall to wait for Prefect Qian Xiao to arrive. The servants wanted to hide, but Lu Baichuan ordered them to stand guard not far away so that everyone could be a witness and prove that there was nothing improper between him and this woman.
Then, he sent a maid to find Jiang Jiuniang outside and tell her to come back. After all, his wife had seen the whole thing, otherwise he would never be able to clear his name.
When Madam Qian learned of Lu Baichuan's intentions, she was terrified. He actually wanted to tell her master and even let so many servants laugh at her.
That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!
"You might as well just kill me. What's the point of humiliating me like this?"
Madam Qian roared, her carotid artery bulging, her face turning as red as black, clearly indicating that she was extremely angry.
Even though she yelled like that, Lu Baichuan ignored her. When he discovered that she wanted to bite her tongue and commit suicide, he even stuffed a smelly rag into her hand, eliminating any chance for her to understand herself.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Baichuan wouldn't be so cruel to a woman. After all, he was often influenced by his wife and knew that women in this era had a hard time. He would help her as much as he could, considering it as accumulating good karma for his family.
But Madam Qian should never have attacked him.
They've come to bully us right in front of us, and they even sleep in the bed his wife used to sleep in. It's disgusting!
This matter must be handled strictly so that his wife can see his attitude and firmly believe in his character, that he will not be seduced by a woman on the street.
Qian Xiao had been resting in bed for the past few days. Today, he had to go to the government office because of some business, so he took a large group of people with him. Now, he was called back by Lu Baichuan. He was so busy that he felt weak. If the servants hadn't carried him in a sedan chair, he probably would have fainted on the way.
The servant who went to deliver the message didn't know how to tell him what had happened at home, so he only said that Lu Baichuan was looking for him, that it was urgent, and that he should go back immediately.
He thought Jiang Jiuniang had found a way to quickly cure his illness, and returned home happily, only to find his wife wrapped in a bed curtain like a silkworm cocoon and thrown on the ground.
Qian Xiao was stunned, completely unaware of what was going on. He looked at Lu Baichuan with a face full of questions.
"What...what's going on?"
Madam Qian on the ground was struggling, tears streaming down her face, and sobbing. If Lu Baichuan hadn't gagged her beforehand, she might have tried to bite back.
Lu Baichuan suppressed his disgust and told Qian Xiao what had happened. The servants nearby wished they could just disappear on the spot, because if they heard about their master's shameful secrets, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"We came to stay in your mansion to help you with your illness. Your wife has done something so disgraceful, which not only damages your dignity but also threatens our marriage. My wife is pregnant, and I don't know how heartbroken she will be to see this. Please, sir, do us justice. When my wife returns, we hope you will give us an explanation."
Lu Baichuan spoke with righteous indignation, not even glancing at the silkworm cocoons on the ground, his face ashen, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Qian Xiao didn't know what to say. Wasn't he the biggest victim in this whole affair?
Unable to vent his anger, Qian Xiao had someone help him over and kicked Madam Qian on the ground twice.
"You bitch! What haven't I given you all these years? Is this how you treat me?"
Madam Qian's face was covered in tears, and she kept sobbing. Qian Xiao had the smelly rag removed from her mouth, and she immediately said, "Master! I'm innocent! He tried to take advantage of me, waaaah!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Baichuan remained silent, leaving it to Qian Xiao to decide how to handle the situation.
Madam Qian originally thought that if she said that, Qian Xiao would at least suspect Lu Baichuan a little, but he didn't. Qian Xiao was even angrier and personally stepped forward to slap her.
"You're still lying to this day, you really disappoint me!"
"I was wondering why you were so attentive this morning, saying you were worried about me and even sending me your most capable people. Turns out you were just looking for a convenient excuse to get rid of them while you secretly did this despicable thing behind my back!"
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want a child, right? I've told you this so many times: just find a newborn to raise on your own, but you won't listen and you have to do something so shameful!"
"I don't want a woman as disgraceful as you anymore. I'm divorcing you today! From now on, you can have children with whomever you want!"
During his illness, Qian Xiao was feeling unwell both physically and mentally. This morning, he was still thinking about how good his wife was. At times like this, his wife cared about him the most and even wanted to arrange his affairs before he died so that those covetous people in the clan wouldn't bully him.
But in the blink of an eye, she did something to hurt him. His emotions exploded in an instant. Even though he knew she hadn't done anything to Lu Baichuan, he still hated her to death and wouldn't forgive her easily.
Madam Qian hadn't expected him to know so much, so she stopped pretending and started laughing.
"Why is it shameful for me to find a man? You keep so many sluts in your backyard, don't you feel ashamed? Look at yourself now, isn't this karma? Hahahaha..."
Jiang Jiuniang heard Madam Qian's laughter from outside and hurriedly quickened her pace: "Let me see what's so funny?"
