I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

There was a fire and everyone was very anxious and came to help spontaneously. If Lu Mao had spoken nicely, they could have mobilized other people to come and put out the fire.

But not only did he not care about the fire, he even spoke ill of him, and everyone's impression of him immediately dropped to freezing point.

"Master, I'm not feeling well. Let's go."

Bai Ruyun noticed that Lu Mao's face looked strange, and was worried that he would waste time by getting into conflict with these people, so he immediately gave him a way out.

Lu Mao snorted, "Madam, let's go!"

The two were about to leave, but at this moment a cold voice came, "Leave? Where are you going?"

Lu Mao froze, his pupils dilated, and he looked straight ahead. Bai Ruyun couldn't help but shrink her body and tried hard to shrink into Lu Mao's arms.

I don’t know if it’s because of the aura, but most of the mistresses and concubines always lower their heads unconsciously when facing the original wife.

Even though Bai Ruyun had rehearsed the scene of meeting Lu Yuan countless times in her mind, the moment she saw Lu Yuan, her heart was filled with fear!

The scene that she had imagined in her mind before, where Lu Yuan was old and ugly while she was as beautiful as a flower and crushed Lu Yuan in all aspects, did not appear. The scene where she showed off in front of Lu Yuan and mocked her for being a woman that no one loved, did not appear either.

She was like a poor person who had made a mistake and was caught on the spot, and she couldn't even raise her head.

Lu Yuan was not alone, he brought a dozen servants and five or six burly old women with him.

Ning Zhiyi wanted to go forward to watch the fun, but Lu Yuan asked her to watch secretly from behind the crowd. It was not because Lu Yuan was afraid that Ning Zhiyi would see him in such an embarrassing state after catching his partner cheating.

But he was afraid that if she stayed with him, Lu Mao would secretly hate her.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t know about the feud between Lu Mao, Bai Yaoyao and Ning Zhiyi. If she knew, she would definitely not have this idea.

The unique atmosphere between the three people immediately attracted the attention of others. They even forgot about putting out the fire and looked over here from time to time.

There is strength in numbers, and thinking that there would be something exciting to watch, everyone put in all their efforts to put out the fire. After a short while, the fire was under control, and the rest of the fire was left to the servants in the mansion. Everyone else ran out to watch the fun.

Lu Mao wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he sadly found that he couldn't make any sound.

He was so frightened that he lost his voice!

No matter how beautiful his thoughts were, or how much he despised Lu Yuan, at this moment, Lu Mao had to admit that he was scared the moment he saw Lu Yuan.

To be precise, it's extremely scary!

It took him a while to find his voice again.

"Lu Yuan, let's talk about it when we get back. My two children and I still have to continue to gain a foothold in the officialdom. You have to consider the overall situation!"

Lu Yuan was so angry that he laughed. He wanted to take apart Lu Mao's skull to see if his brain was full of water. He had done something shameful, but she still had the nerve to ask her to consider the overall situation.

She doesn't!

"Lu Mao, listen to what you said and see if it's ridiculous! What did you call her just now, Madam? A concubine is just a thing that is not presentable. Since when did a concubine qualify to be called Madam?"

Everyone stared with wide eyes and huddled together whispering.

Lu Mao rushed forward and tried to pull Lu Yuan away, but was pushed away by several old women.

"You guys!" Lu Mao's hands were shaking with anxiety. He glared at Lu Yuan angrily and said through gritted teeth:

"What on earth do you want to do? You have to destroy me to satisfy me!"

"That's right!"

Lu Mao was stunned. "What did you say?"

Lu Yuan smiled, and that smile made Lu Mao feel creepy.

"Just wait and see, I guarantee you'll remember it for the rest of your life!"

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he took out the marriage certificate between himself and Lu Mao and said loudly:

"Everyone, this is my husband Lu Mao, and I am his legally married wife. As for this pregnant woman, I don't know what she is, but one thing is certain, she is definitely not his legal wife!"

"This lady is right. She is just a concubine. How can she be called a lady?"

There were also women among the onlookers. Women did not like mistresses, especially concubines. In the eyes of these people, mistresses were more hateful than concubines, and they all spoke up to support Lu Yuan.

Listening to the scolding and condemnation from the crowd, Bai Ruyun's face turned pale, his body was shaky, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.

He knelt on the ground with a plop, crying and begging:

"Sister, please help me and the master get together. We really love each other. I'm pregnant with the master's child. Please help us get together for the sake of the child."

Lu Yuan didn't even look at Bai Ruyun who was begging on the ground. He looked at Lu Mao and said word by word:

"Are you still a man? You made your woman, no, a pregnant woman, kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, while you want to reap the benefits. Lu Mao, you are even more despicable than I thought."

Lu Mao still didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter. He wanted to make a big thing small and force a smile.

"Madam, please don't be angry. Isn't she just a concubine in the mansion? It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought her out without telling you. As your husband, I apologize to you. Will you forgive me?"

He is trying to change the concept. Being caught secretly keeping a mistress and being caught taking a concubine out are completely different concepts.

Seeing that Lu Yuan was unmoved, Lu Mao lowered his voice and continued to threaten:

"Lu Yuan! The eldest son needs a good reputation in the officialdom, and the second son has reached the age of marriage. You must know how bad the impact of this incident is. Think about it carefully. If something like this happens, which good family would dare to marry their daughter to you? Don't do anything stupid!"

"I had this child because I was drunk and had sex. I wanted to tell you in a few days that I was wrong. I apologize to you. Can we solve this problem behind closed doors when we return home?"

Lu Yuan sneered. If she was afraid of this, she wouldn't have done such a fuss.

This man really didn't care about his two sons at all. The eldest son had already established a firm foothold in officialdom, and fame was just icing on the cake.

As for the youngest son's marriage, a suitable candidate has been found. The future father-in-law and mother-in-law are sensible people. Even if they know about this, they will not have any objections.

"Where is your sincerity? You did something like this. Where can I put my face? It's too embarrassing. Why don't you slap me a few times to make me happy?"

Looking at Lu Yuan's playful smile, Lu Mao secretly hated him, but he didn't dare to give up any chance, and slapped him without hesitation.

It hit Bai Ruyun's face accurately, causing blood to appear at the corner of her lips.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't react, he slapped Bai Ruyun again with his backhand, but Lu Yuan still didn't react.

Lu Mao gritted his teeth, thinking that if he slapped his face, it wouldn't affect his stomach, so he slapped him a few more times.

After a while, Bai Ruyun was beaten to the ground and dared not raise his head. Lu Mao said:

"Madam, you are satisfied. If you have calmed down, let's go back home first."

Lu Yuan originally thought that she was completely disappointed with Lu Mao, but she didn't expect to find out today that it was too early for her to be disappointed. A man like Lu Mao is really disgusting.

Ning Zhiyi couldn't bear it any longer and spoke directly from behind the crowd:

"You, don't just hit me, you are such a heartless man. You called me your sweetheart when nothing happened, but now you are hitting me again after getting caught."

"She's not the only one who made a mistake. You're so shameless, hit yourself! Let's listen to what it sounds like when a shameless person gets slapped. Isn't the sound crisper and louder?"

"Hahaha!" someone laughed loudly.

Lu Mao didn't care about anything else. He just looked at Lu Yuan hopefully and asked:

"Ma'am, if I slap myself, will you calm down? Since you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Lu Yuan looked at him with a smile but still refused to speak.

She could remain silent, but Lu Mao couldn't afford to delay. The longer he delayed, the worse his fate would be!

He closed his eyes, raised his hand and hit himself hard in the face.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

There was a round of slaps on the field. After a dozen slaps, Lu Mao asked hopefully:

"Has the lady calmed down?"

Fortunately, Lu Yuan finally spoke, and Lu Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whether you calm down or not is another matter. Lu Mao, have you forgotten one thing? You are married into the Lu family. You were drunk and forcibly took possession of the maid, which was already an overstep. Now you have a mistress. How do you think I should punish you?"

"Madam, what do you want? Think about our son. I promise that I will stay by your side wholeheartedly and will never have second thoughts again!"

Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously and looked behind him, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he had thought of something particularly interesting.

"Since women who have unfaithful thoughts should be thrown into a pig cage, there is no reason why men who have unfaithful thoughts can escape. Since you have to attend court tomorrow, I will not throw you into the river. Instead, I will put you in a pig cage and drive you around the capital."

Lu Mao was so frightened that he almost jumped up. Thinking of the terrible consequences of being locked in a pig cage and marching around the capital, his legs couldn't help but tremble.

If this happens, how can I keep my official position?

"Madam, you absolutely cannot do that!"

Lu Yuan had no interest in listening to his nonsense anymore, so he ordered his men to cover their mouths and stuff them into the pig cage together.

Seeing the two pig cages prepared by his men, he said:

"The bond between the two is stronger than gold. How can we separate them? Just use a pig cage, which can better reflect the friendship between the two."

"Yes, ma'am!"

The old women showed no mercy at all, they grabbed Bai Ruyu's hair and stuffed her into the pig cage. They pinched Bai Ruyu several times without any concealment. They had done hard labor all their lives and their hands were very strong. After a while, Bai Ruyu's body was covered with bruises.

“No, ma’am, please spare us, spare us…mmmm!”

Lu Mao realized that Lu Yuan was serious, and he panicked and said anxiously:

"Lu Yuan, are you crazy? I am an official appointed by the imperial court, how dare you do this to me!"

Lu Yuan didn't want to look at him, and smiled: "Don't be naive, you think you can still be an official after something like this, don't worry, you won't be one soon."

"Lu Yuan, what do you mean? A husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Don't be impulsive. I can explain. Think about the two children and our future. Do you really want to ruin me?"

Lu Mao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. When he saw Bai Ruyu being stuffed into the pig cage, he suddenly felt a great sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He clearly understood that if he was really stuffed into a pig cage and paraded through the streets, what would be waiting for him would be a devastating blow!

"Lu Mao, do you have such courage? When you were plotting to poison me, why didn't you think about the grace between husband and wife? When you wanted to kill me and seize the wealth of the Lu family, why didn't you think about our two children and our future?"

Lu Mao's face changed drastically, and he blurted out, "Impossible, how did you know!"
