My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Mengyi, you need to leave the house right now and ask Doctor Chi to come and take my pulse... Go through the small door at the back and try to avoid being seen by others. If he asks... just say I have caught a cold and I'm not feeling well."

Meng Yi is the most cautious among the maids. She is a maid born in the Wen family, so naturally she is loyal to him.

"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."

Miss Meng Yi covered her chest with her hands in disgust and was also shocked.

But she just thought that the young lady had a stomachache and didn't think about anything else.

After a while, Wen Qiqi's husband Lu Zhanyao walked in angrily.

Aunt Mei cried and told him how Xingcheng risked his life to save her today but was slapped in the face, and also said that Qiqi no longer wanted Xingcheng to be her adopted son.

As soon as Lu Zhanyao came in, the temperature in the whole room dropped sharply.

"Qiqi."

He seemed to have reached the limit of his patience.

"As my principal wife, how can you be so unreasonable? Xingcheng risked his life to save you today, but not only did you not appreciate his filial piety, you beat him so hard that his cheek became swollen..."

Lu Zhanyao clenched his fists and tried his best to calm himself down.

If there is a problem, solve it. No matter what, don't let Wen Qiqi do anything rash!

Xingcheng is a concubine's son!

Only by adopting him to Wen Qiqi can he become a legitimate child.

Besides, what is the status of the Wen family?

With a little support, Xingcheng's career will be bright!

"Who are you targeting? If you have any anger, just come to me. Why make things difficult for Mei'er and her son?"

Wen Qiqi was lying on the bed, listening to his words, and couldn't help but sneer.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think Mei'er is complaining to me? You underestimate her! She is not the kind of person who would hold grudges. Qiqi, Mei'er is different from you. Although she is already my concubine, she always treats herself as a servant..."

Lu Zhanyao had calmed down by now and walked over to Wen Qiqi and sat down.

"You see, she didn't tell Mom, she just told me."

Wen Qiqi looked at Lu Zhanyao, this man was the one she once wanted to entrust her life to!

He is the husband she loves and fulfills with all her heart!

She once naively thought that as long as she was tolerant and generous enough, she could win his true heart.

It seems that Qiqi was wrong.

Big mistake!

In Lu Zhanyao's heart, Wen Qiqi is an outsider.

She could never be as pitiful, considerate and obedient as Mei'er...

Even though Wen Qiqi had almost given her whole heart to him!

He still felt it was not enough!

I still feel that she is not doing her best and is always acting like the daughter of the Wen family!

"What do you see me doing?"

Today, Wen Qiqi's eyes made Lu Zhanyao feel indescribably uncomfortable. She seemed to have seen into the depths of her soul.

"I treat you and Mei'er the same."

"Is it?"

Wen Qiqi sat up and hugged a gold-thread pillow to her chest.

"Yes."

Husband Lu Zhanyao said in a decisive tone.

How ridiculous!

A man won't even blink when he lies.

"You are wrong, husband! I am your legal wife, the one you married with a generous dowry from my mother's family. What about her? She is a maid, and now she is just your concubine. How dare you say that you treat her and me the same? Don't say such things in the future. If others hear it, they will laugh at you!"

After hearing what Qiqi said, Lu Zhanyao widened his eyes in shock!

Ever since she got married, she has always envied the feelings I have for Mei'er. She has been trying her best to please me, please her mother, and serve the mansion. Isn't it just to share my favor?

Besides, since she couldn't have children, she didn't dare to expect me to treat her the same way as Mei'er...

"What? What I said is wrong?"

Wen Qiqi asked.

Lu Zhanyao avoided her eyes and said, "That's not what you said before."

"You never treated me like this before."

Wen Qiqi smiled coldly.

Mei'er didn't go to her mother-in-law to complain because her mother-in-law had always been warned by Lu Zhanyao not to make things too difficult for Wen Qiqi.

If I tell my mother-in-law, wouldn't that be giving myself an easy deal?

When her husband comes back and cries, she looks so pitiful, which will not only make Lu Zhanyao furious, but also deepen his sympathy for them mother and son. How could anyone miss such a good thing?

Besides, today is a good opportunity for me to have some meat.

Of course we have to target her separately.

Seeing that Qiqi was difficult to deal with today, Lu Zhanyao's tone softened.

"Qiqi, I admit that I have cared less about you in the past few years, but isn't that because I am busy with my official career and many official duties? Besides, the matter of having an heir cannot be delayed."

Heir?

The pain was brought up again.

Doesn’t he know that he cries every time he mentions it?

But this time, Wen Qiqi didn't shed a single tear.

"Offspring are important, so we must be careful. Xingcheng and I have a weak mother-son relationship, and I don't like him. I can't let him be my son anymore."

Wen Qiqi's straightforward words put an end to Lu Zhanyao's thoughts.

Lu Zhanyao frowned: "How can you say that? Xingcheng risked his life to save you today, and you slapped him..."

"Yes."

Wen Qiqi raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhanyao: "He was in the ancestral hall copying scriptures for my father and brother, but he appeared in the back garden. This shows that he is not loyal to my Wen family at all. Why should I accept such a son as my child and why should I help him?"

"..."

Lu Zhanyao didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Wen Qiqi added: "My father and brother died on the battlefield, sacrificing their lives for the country. Even if Xingcheng doesn't care that he is my son, he should be filial and dedicated to the country... Isn't he lacking some patriotism by doing this! With such a son, you still want to speak for him? Shouldn't I slap him in the face? "

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhanyao couldn't help but shudder.

All the adult men in the Wen family died for the country.

Now only Wen Qiqi's mother, her female relatives and Wen Qiqi's youngest brother Wen Xiaoliang are left to look after the family business.

The emperor was extremely sad and grateful, so he specially ordered to copy the scriptures in the Lu family ancestral hall for 49 days, and noon every day without interruption. This is an imperial decree. Wen Qiqi arranged Lu Xingcheng to do this, which is a promotion and appreciation for him. "

If the emperor knew that he went to the back garden, the consequences would be no different from disobeying the imperial edict...

It might even implicate yourself.

"Qiqi, I'm sorry. Look, I was confused for a moment. It turned out that... it's all my fault."

Lu Zhanyao quickly apologized: "I don't blame you for not wanting Xingcheng. But he is still a minor after all, so he can be forgiven for doing something wrong, right? Besides, no one else knows about this. You are a mother, so you should be more magnanimous."

Wen Qiqi felt nauseous again, but forced herself to suppress it.

"You can tell an old man's appearance at the age of three. Besides, he was copying scriptures for my father and brother, and he went to the back garden halfway. As the daughter of the Wen family, should I accommodate him? Am I also unfilial? Lu Zhanyao, I really don't understand how you can say these words."

She frowned and looked out the door: "Go away. You haven't come here for a few years anyway. I'm used to going to bed early."

Lu Zhanyao was ordered to leave and felt lost for a moment.

"Then you should go to bed early. I heard from Meng Yi that you have caught a cold and you don't look well. Wait for the doctor to come and take a good look."

Only then did you remember to care about your own body?

Wen Qiqi turned her head away and gave him a cold back.

Lu Zhanyao sighed, then walked away with a puzzled look in his eyes.

What happened to her?

I heard that you didn’t pray for your mother to eat vegetarian food today, and you and Sheng Shi directly asked for someone!

This strong momentum is completely different from usual!
