Chapter 100: Stepmother No. 38 (14)
Xiao Huaiqi obediently answered "yes" and retreated, thinking: "Ye Mengze, Ye Mengze, when you meet this woman, what kind of miracle will happen?" ”
He had always felt that since he finally returned to the city from Wuwengou in embarrassment early that morning, and saw the woman in military uniform in front of the hall of the Xiao Mansion, his life had fallen into a never-ending misfortune.
However, when he heard Ye Xinlu mention that he and Ye Mengze were equals, Xiao Huaiqi felt very happy inexplicably, as if he had seen his rival in love, and Ye Mengze, whom he hated so much, was bewitched like him, or hung there to be tortured.
Ever since he met Ye Mengze, he has always lost to Ye Mengze in all aspects. Now he really wants to see if this Ye Mengze can be stronger than him so that even this woman can be suppressed.
A few days later, Ye Xinlu wore a heroic military uniform, took his son, Xiao Huaiqi, who was also heroic, and went to the Ye Mansion with a few intimate entourages.
Under the gaze of Ye Xinlu with a "kind" smile, Xiao Huaiqi got out of the car very aggrievedly, helped Ye Xinlu to get out of the car, and under the gaze of everyone a little petrified, carefully served the stepmother, who was once ranked thirty-eighth, and arrived in front of the Ye Mansion.
Ye Mengze and Yue Ke were greeting guests at the door.
As soon as Yue Ke's gaze fell on Ye Xinlu, a trace of resentment immediately flashed in his eyes.
Ye Xinlu was amused in his heart. According to the memory of the original owner, in fact, Yue Ke was trapped in the Xiao Mansion by Xiao Huaiqi because she wanted to collect information about the Xiao family army for Ye Mengze and deliberately fell into Xiao Huaiqi's hands.
After she got the information, she didn't have a chance to escape, but she happened to run into the original owner Hua Miyue and Xiaoyu to escape from the Xiao Mansion. She had an idea at that time, not only stole the map that Hua Miyue was carrying on her body with her fast hands, but also told Xiao Huaiqi about it as soon as possible.
If the map hadn't been found, it would have been unlikely that Hua Miyue and his party would have gotten lost and turned into the area where the fifteen-ditch bandits were active.
If Xiao Huaiqi hadn't gotten the news in time and given Hua Miyue a few more days, Hua Miyue would have a great hope of escaping with the help of the map.
In order to let himself escape, this Yue Ke did not hesitate to push Hua Miyue, Xiaoyu and the coachman who drove the car out as cannon fodder, which shows that he is not a kind-hearted person. In the end, all three of them died tragically at the hands of Xiao Huaiqi, but she successfully escaped from the Xiao Mansion.
Therefore, before leaving the Xiao Mansion that day, Yue Ke said, "Mrs. Xiao, I have written down today's hatred, and I will definitely ask you for it in the future." When she said this, Ye Xinlu replied to her, "If there is revenge, we will take revenge, let's give each other!" ”
It's just that the scene of encountering Yue Ke in the memory of the original owner does not appear in the plot. In other words, Yue Ke has always been a kind, generous, never harmful girl, and a very likable personality in front of people.
On that day, Ye Xinlu returned to the Xiao Mansion half a day earlier after Xiao Huai prayed to kill the fifteen-ditch bandits in the plot, and just blocked Yue Ke, who had found an opportunity to escape, in the Xiao Mansion.
Yue Ke was tricked by her and tortured, so he naturally hated her and gritted his teeth.
But Ye Xinlu didn't care, but said to Xiao Huai leisurely: "Son, this is probably your playmate who has known him since he was a child, and now he is the young marshal Ye Mengze, who is now in command of the Ye family's army, is really handsome!" Later, there was a bit of ridicule in his voice.
"Yes, mother," Xiao Huaiqi smiled peacefully with a rare face, "Brother Ye, come, let me introduce you, I think you have also heard of it, this is Hua Miyue, the wife of my father's remarriage." Although she is a stepmother, she takes care of me quite a lot, and I hope that Brother Ye will look at my face and respect my mother. ”
Ye Mengze raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Young Marshal Xiao, I really didn't expect that you would have this day." The mockery and disdain in his expression were palpable.
A haze flashed in Xiao Huai's eyes, but when he thought of Ye Mengze's pride at this time, but when he met the woman he was supporting now, he was probably going to be suffocated, so he just sneered softly.
Yue Ke smiled lightly: "Mrs. Xiao, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”
In fact, Yue Ke really hated Ye Xinlu for torturing her, but what she hated even more was the special confidence and look in the eyes of Mrs. Xiao in front of her, as well as the flamboyant, wanton and rampant on her face, and even the smile on the corner of her lips always had a special evil charm, which people couldn't forget at a glance.
Although Yue Ke is from a poor family, she has known what advantages she has since she was a child. She has an incomparably innocent face, although it is not particularly beautiful, but this innocence is very appetizing to many men.
She also began to take advantage of this advantage at a very young age, and she had already practiced to make perfect, so that she could get Ye Mengze's love and win Ye Mengze's true protection.
But because she wants to maintain this pure impression of her in people's hearts, she never dares to act in front of others, does not dare to be casual, and always tries to suppress her own heart.
That day, when she saw the burning look on this Mrs. Xiao's face, she was envious and jealous, and she felt very sorry that she couldn't act as openly as this woman, and this woman's flamboyance and wanton jealousy were to death.
In fact, Ye Mengze had no intention of inviting the Xiao family to attend his engagement banquet, after all, Xiao Huaiqi had a ghost in his heart for Yue Ke, and he knew this very well. He's a little nervous.
However, Yue Ke said that she was "taken care of" by Mrs. Xiao when she was in the Xiao Mansion, so Ye Mengze agreed to send an invitation to the Xiao family. It's just that he doesn't know the deep meaning of "special care" that Yue Ke said.
Yue Ke didn't dare to mention the matter of being tricked by Ye Mengze, for fear that he would track it down and find out about Mrs. Xiao's head, in case it was found out that she had used Mrs. Xiao to lure away Xiao Huaiqi, it would most likely affect her beautiful image of kindness and purity in Ye Mengze's mind.
Because Ye Mengze didn't know the details, Yue Ke didn't show any hatred for Ye Xinlu, but greeted him with a friendly greeting.
Ye Xinlu smiled lightly and nodded at her.
Ye Mengze didn't know the original owner, but in the past, I heard that she was born in an opera, but in fact, she didn't look down on Hua Miyue in her bones, but thinking that Yue Ke had said that this woman had taken care of her, she said politely: "Mrs. Xiao, please come in, the banquet is about to start." ”
Ye Xinlu nodded slightly, and then walked into the Ye Mansion with Xiao Huaiqi, and was led into the luxurious and spacious hall by a special guide girl.
The banquet began soon, and Ye Xinlu, the female ruler of the Xiao Mansion, would naturally attract the attention of many wealthy guests, but she seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of attention, and from time to time she called her cheap son, or took wine or supported or used this cheap son as a dance partner, and entered the dance floor to dance together.
