After Jiaojiao got pregnant, her husband who died in the war came back

With just one sentence, Meng Nianrui's self-deception was exposed.

She looked embarrassed and lowered her eyes, looking at the scar on her wrist. Horror spread throughout her body, and she felt sad and heartbroken.

Although I didn't want to show my weakness in front of others, tears fell uncontrollably.

But how could she not understand this truth that everyone else understood?

When Lu Beixiao saw her crying, he paused, a trace of panic appeared on his resolute face, and he said in a rough voice:

"Why are you crying? I didn't bully you. Did that inhuman Xie Xun abandon you again?"

Although she was crying, Meng Nianrui instinctively protected her husband and sobbed, "Don't say that about my husband. He definitely didn't mean it."

Lu Beixiao rolled his eyes almost to the sky, and said speechlessly:

"It's really hard to persuade that damn ghost with good words. What's so good about Xie Xun? He pretends to be gifted and intelligent, and he has a group of aides to assist him behind the scenes. He is just like a boiled chicken. If he is put on the battlefield, he will not survive for more than a cup of tea."

It wasn't the first time Meng Nianrui had seen this man's vulgarity, but she was still not used to it. She couldn't help but glare at him, and her tone was not very nice. "I know you don't get along with him, but there's no need to slander him like this."

Seeing Meng Nianrui defending Xie Xun like this, Lu Beixiao felt that he was wasting his breath. He chuckled in anger and slapped the seat next to him, "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

His movement caused the entire carriage to shake.

Meng Nianrui felt regretful for a moment, thinking that he was emotionally unstable and might hit her.

But the next second, Lu Beixiao actually walked away, lifted the car curtain and sat in the front.

Meng Nianrui looked down at the gauze on her wrist, an unknown emotion flashing in her eyes.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the same place where it had stopped last time.

Meng Nianrui got out of the car and saw Lu Beixiao turning his head away and deliberately not looking at her. He ignored her and seemed angry. She still thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Beixiao still didn't look at him. He waved his hand at her indifferently and said in a casual tone: "Let's go."

In fact, after Meng Nianrui turned around, his eyes were fixed on her.

Only after Meng Nianrui's figure completely disappeared did he let the coachman drive away.

When Meng Nianrui returned to Xie's house, she was afraid that others would notice something unusual, so she went straight back to the yard.

When she passed by Yuzhuxuan, she saw people moving things inside. She was startled and walked over immediately.

Meng Nianrui raised her voice and asked, "Who told you to touch the things here?"

Ever since Meng Nianrui married into the Xie family, she has never been so anxious, attracting the attention of everyone around her.

The maids who were close to her looked at each other and said honestly, "It was the young master's order."

Meng Nianrui's pupils trembled, and she said in disbelief: "Impossible!"

"It was indeed my cousin's order," Fang Yirou walked over slowly and stopped half a step away from Meng Nianrui.

She said softly, "My cousin said that this courtyard has good sunlight and is close to him, so he wants me to live here. Don't you want me to live here?"

Meng Nianrui thought it was ridiculous and immediately replied, "Of course not. My parents' things are kept in this yard. You can live anywhere except here."

Fang Yirou exclaimed, "Oh!" as if she had suddenly realized something. "So that's why there are so many things in there. But don't worry, I have made all the arrangements."

As she spoke, she took another half step forward and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's just that a box of jewelry was accidentally dropped by a maid while she was carrying it. I hope you won't mind, sister."

After saying that, Fang Yirou opened her palm, revealing a jade bracelet that was broken into two pieces.
