Chapter 257: Tell the Truth
Liu Meibao looked at the woman kneeling down right now, and only felt uncomfortable.
Since marrying Lu Yan, there have been countless people kneeling in front of her, as a person who has crossed over, she is always a little uncomfortable with kneeling, but she has never been as uncomfortable as today.
"What kind of person is this, how can he make such a big gift?" She heard herself laughing and asking the valet of the General Soldier's Mansion, perhaps because she was laughing, and her voice trembled a little.
"It's just a summoner, don't be polite, wife." The manservant smiled nonchalantly.
You're welcome... Liu Meibao was stunned, and couldn't bear to blurt out this sentence.
"Don't bother my wife." The manservant and nobleman had a lot of errands, so he gave a salute and said goodbye.
The carriage soon departed, and there was an eerie silence in front of the General's Palace.
Those who kneel still kneel, and those who stand still stand.
"Ma'am." The servant woman couldn't help but whisper a reminder, looking at the people passing by with curious glances.
Liu Meibao came back to her senses and looked at the woman kneeling on the ground.
She trembled more and more, as if her spirit, which had been frightened by the silence, was about to collapse.
"Get up." Liu Meibao took a deep breath and said.
"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am." The woman kowtowed excitedly, and her voice was already choked.
Liu Meibao raised her feet and walked towards the door, and the servant woman behind her hurriedly followed.
The woman hesitated for a moment, then stood up cautiously, and followed the burden in her arms tightly.
"Mother, mother." Lu Fang, who had already run into the house first, didn't see his mother come in for a long time, and ran out to look for it, "Come and see, my little turtle is gone..."
Liu Meibao smiled and took his hand.
"You've found it all, under the table, in the yard, the little turtle loves to run around." She said.
The mother and son walked towards the inner courtyard as they spoke, and when they were about to turn into the second gate, Liu Meibao stopped.
"Butler." She called faintly.
The butler, who was quietly turning around and walking out the door, immediately stopped.
"Madam, what are your orders?" He asked, turning respectfully.
"Don't be in a hurry to disturb the adults just yet. When I get to that, I'll ask him. Liu Meibao didn't look at him, holding her son in her hand, and said lightly with a smile on her face.
"Yes." The butler bowed in response, and fine sweat was dense on his forehead.
Liu Meibao first accompanied her son to find a little turtle, went back to the house and ate a whole pot of tea, before calling the woman, and Lu Yan came back.
Although the housekeeper is obedient. But there are guards at the door who don't listen to her, Liu Meibao is not surprised that Lu Yan came over so quickly.
"Mei Bao," Lu Yan looked at the woman who was sitting on the big kang as always, her face nervous and her voice astringent.
"I'm back." Liu Meibao glanced up at him and put down the teacup in his hand, "It's just right to come back, so let's talk about it together." ”
She seemed to be smiling, but that smile made Lu Yan feel cold in her heart.
"Mabel, I'll tell you. Don't worry. He hurried a few steps, wanting to sit down and take his wife in his arms as usual.
But Liu Meibao glanced at him. The look in his eyes was like a knife, and he stopped his steps.
"I'm not in a hurry, you speak slowly." Liu Meibao said with a wink.
The servants in the house immediately withdrew.
"Get this guy out first." Lu Yan said.
Since entering the door, he didn't look at the woman standing in the middle of the room, even when he was talking, he didn't take his eyes off Liu Meibao, but the people in the room understood who he was referring to.
Then the woman fell to her knees, prostrated herself and wept.
Two of the servants came to pull her up.
"What are you doing?" Liu Meibao said. There was no joy or anger in her voice, but the speed of her speech was noticeably faster than before, indicating that her mood was unstable. "I haven't said it yet."
"Mabel, what do you want to know, I say, just ask me." Lu Yan sat in front of her, held her hand, and said word by word, "You know that I never lie to you, I will say whatever you ask." ”
Liu Meibao's gaze turned to him.
"Okay." She spoke, "Then I ask you, why did you expel the three guards with you when I came back from Salt Pond a month ago?" ”
Everyone in the room was stunned, even the crying woman stopped, why did Mrs. suddenly ask this question?
Lu Yan was stiff.
He knew that his wife was a smart man, a very smart man......
"I.." He opened his mouth.
Liu Meibao looked at him.
The hands of the two were still clenched, but they both began to exert force, one to withdraw, and the other to hold on.
The kneeling woman was weeping lowly.
"Didn't you hear me? Throw people out of here! Lu Yan shouted angrily.
The people in the family had never seen him so angry, and the servants subconsciously weakened their legs, and the woman was also frightened, trembling, and unable to make a sound at all.
The servants finally went up and pulled the woman without hesitation, and as soon as their hands touched the woman, the hostess also spoke.
"What about throwing it?" Liu Meibao withdrew her hand from Lu Yan's hand, slapped it heavily on the kang table, raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily, "People throw it out, kill it, and if it's gone, doesn't the matter exist?" ”
This time, not only the servants were stupid, but even Lu Yan was stunned.
It is not uncommon to say that Lu Yan is angry, after all, he is famous for his murder, but it is the first time that Liu Meibao has seen him angry.
This woman is hearty and uninhibited, does not like to talk but loves to laugh, is peaceful and approachable, and has never spoken anything serious to anyone.
"Get out of here." Liu Meibao shouted again.
The servants went out at once, hula and closed the door, and soon heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and everyone withdrew.
"Don't cry to me, don't talk to me if I don't ask you." Liu Meibao raised her eyebrows and shouted at the woman.
The woman covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, but she didn't stop kowtowing.
"Alright, let's talk." Liu Meibao exhaled, straightened her body and looked at Lu Yandao, "I don't listen to others, I only listen to you, what you say, what I believe." ”
Lu Yan looked at her.
"On that day, the chief soldier had a banquet, I drank too much, and the chief soldier asked her to serve me, and there were official prostitutes serving at the banquet, and everyone had it." He spoke slowly, only feeling that every word he said weighed a thousand pounds, he didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to recall it. But I have to say.
Liu Meibao looked at him, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips.
This smile was full of ridicule, which made Lu Yan's heart ache.
"No, Mabel, no, not before, I never let it. It's just pouring wine on the side...", his emotions that were supposed to calm down became chaotic again, and he reached out to take the woman's hand, "Never, really, I don't lie to you." ”
Liu Meibao removed her hand and avoided him.
"Then you met someone who is lovely this time?" She said lightly, her gaze falling on the woman.
The woman's body, who had been bowing her head to the ground, trembled even more.
"No, no." Lu Yan said, he took a few deep breaths to stabilize his trembling voice. To put it more precisely, "I drank too much." I didn't drink so much at other times, and the chief soldier was very kind, and when I talked about the brothers who died, I was sad and lost my temper, and then I didn't know what was going on, these guards didn't strictly follow the order to let this woman into the house, so they expelled them for punishment....."
His words were reversed. Fortunately, Liu Meibao's thinking was quite clear and understood.
She didn't speak, as if she was in a trance.
"Mabel, Mabel." Lu Yan was anxious and sad when he saw her like this. Sit down and shake her arm carefully, "You believe me, I really..."
"Did you sleep?" Liu Meibao suddenly burst out with a sentence.
Lu Yan's hand shaking her arm stopped, and the woman on the ground didn't dare to make a sound except for trembling, everything that happened here was completely beyond what she knew and thought, and she didn't know what to do or what to do.
"I believe you, you tell me." Liu Meibao looked at Lu Yan and asked.
Lu Yan was a little suffocated by her dark eyes.
"I.." He opened his mouth, and his voice hoarsely squeezed out one word after another, "I don't know..."
He doesn't say no, he says he doesn't know, what an honest kid....
When he woke up, did he see the delicate person in his arms, only to know that the spring dream was not a dream...
When he dreamed, he didn't know if it was a dream......
There are tears that slide uncontrollably from the corners of the eyes.
"Mei Bao, Mei Bao, I didn't let them send people over, I didn't, I'll let people go, drive them away..."Lu Yan saw Liu Meibao with such a look for the first time, and his sanity and calmness were suddenly gone, he half-knelt on the bed, grabbed Liu Meibao's arm tightly and said hurriedly.
"It has nothing to do with people." Liu Meibao smiled and said, casually took the handkerchief on the side and wiped her tears.
"Alright, you guys go out first." She then said.
"Mabel.." Lu Yan didn't let go.
"Take away your dirty hands!" Liu Meibao suddenly shouted.
Lu Yan's hand was taken away violently, as if his hand was really dirty.
"Get out of here." Liu Meibao shouted again.
Lu Yan looked at her in a daze and didn't move.
"It's your house, isn't it? It's me who should get out, right? Liu Meibao got up with her hand clasped on the kang table and said.
Lu Yan immediately got off the kang.
"Don't move, I'll go out, I'll go out." He said in a trembling voice, "Don't worry, be careful of the child..."
Before his words fell, Liu Meibao's teacup smashed on the ground, his apricot eyes were round, his lips trembled, and his emotions were obviously on the verge of collapse.
Lu Yan didn't say a word, and immediately went out according to his words.
The woman kneeling on the ground looked left and right and met Liu Meibao's face.
"What, still waiting for me to treat you to tea?" Liu Meibao looked at her and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Mrs., Mrs., the slave and the maid have no delusions, the slave and the maid only want to be able to make cattle and horses for the wife..."
Liu Meibao trembled.
Lu Yan, who had already walked out, strode in, picked up the woman and threw it out.
The door was shut, and there was silence after a few women's lamentations outside, and the room fell silent.
The surroundings were quiet, Liu Meibao only felt that her ears were buzzing and her heart was beating hard, and she slowly sat down on the kang table.
"Mabel.." Lu Yan's voice came from outside the window.
"I don't want to listen to you now, don't talk to me, let me be quiet." Liu Meibao said quickly, reaching out and pressing her chest.
Outside the house fell silent.
