Sima Hong waved his hands and looked at the trembling Lu Xu'er on the ground with disgust. He was just trying to scare her, but she became so cowardly. Every day he showed off in front of Mingyu that he had been on the battlefield, as if he was so arrogant. Didn't he know? If it was Mingyu, she would never be scared like that. On the contrary, she would try to find a way to get back on her feet.
Thinking of Mingyu and the baby in her belly, Sima Hong's heart softened immediately. "Send her back to where she lives. I'll tell her to get out tomorrow morning. I've said this many times..." Sima Hong stared at Lu Xuer, "But you took me for a joke. If I see you again after noon tomorrow, I'll have a horse drag you out of Tianshui!"
This time he didn't care about anyone's face. In the past, he was soft-hearted and always thought about the initial success of his great cause and took his colleagues' feelings into consideration. But now it seems that in dealing with Mingyu, if his mind is a little bit unsteady, he might do something under the instigation of these people with ulterior motives.
He didn't want Mingyu to suffer any injustice anymore.
Baihao called Mrs. Liu and asked her to release Lu Xuer's maid. The two frightened women supported each other and staggered out, almost as if they were escaping.
Everyone's mood for drinking must have been ruined by Lu Xuer's disturbance. Lin Hui and others could no longer sit down and drink. Although they didn't know what had happened, everyone knew the name Xu Mingyu. She was the Marquis's wife. Lu Xuer must have done something unkind and betrayed the wife. The new and old grudges combined caused the Marquis to explode tonight.
However, seeing that the Marquis had saved Lü Xuer's face for them, Lin Hui and the others were extremely grateful to Sima Hong in their hearts. If Lü Sheng hadn't been in charge, who would care about Lü Xuer, a willful and capricious daughter? If he had taken her to the battlefield, he could have killed her with a random trap. Yet, she was still complacent and self-righteous, thinking that she was an invincible heroine who killed enemies and served her country.
The invited guests persuaded Sima Hong for a few words and left one after another. Sima Hong and Bai Hao were the only ones left in the huge front hall. They sat in the hall filled with cold wind, one of them was worried and the other was obviously absent-minded.
Baihao couldn't sit still any longer. It couldn't go on like this. The Marquis had to let his wife know what he had done for her. When a couple quarreled, one of them had to bow first so that they could continue to live their lives.
"Master, it's getting late, you... don't want to go back to sleep?" Bai Hao asked tentatively.
Sima Hong was deep in thought, looking extremely anxious. When he heard Bai Hao's question, he subconsciously said, "No, I won't go. She is still angry and will definitely..." and will splash tea on his face again.
"Oh, my Lord!" Baihao said with a smile, "You still don't understand what Madam is. She has calmed down from that big anger, so why would she still care about these two verbal quarrels? Go and see Madam, she will surely calm down."
Sima Hong thought about it, shook his head and said, "Forget about it today. It's so late, she must have gone to bed. I'll go check on her after she falls asleep, so as to avoid..." She might get angry when she sees him, which would affect her health. Seeing Bai Hao's disapproval, Sima Hong's face flushed. Being taught by Bai Hao, he felt very embarrassed. He straightened his face and said to Bai Hao seriously, "Did you see Lu Xuer today? When you marry in the future, you must marry a virtuous woman. You must never bring a brazen and unreasonable shrew home. It will ruin the family's morals!"
Baihao's teeth began to ache again. We were clearly talking about the master and the mistress, so how did it turn to his marriage? I had gone off topic. No, I had to get back to the topic.
"Your Majesty is right!" Baihao nodded in agreement, "But not every woman is as virtuous, generous and easy to talk to as Madam."
Sima Hong was silent. He took a sip of wine from the wine pot that had already cooled down on the banquet table, but he felt nothing when it went down his throat. When Mingyu admitted that Qixi was indeed with the Prince of Qin, his heart fell to the bottom. He liked Mingyu, but he also had face and dignity. When she left in anger, he was sad and felt that he had been let down. He really could not tolerate any flaws in the jade that was at the tip of his heart.
But this matter has already happened. What else can he do if he continues to be fussy about it
Sima Hong put down the wine pot, not daring to look at Baihao, and waved his hand to Baihao and said, "Go find my wife and tell her that I need two sets of clothes to change into, and ask her to bring them over."
Baihao looked at him with a toothache. He clearly wanted to see his wife, but he had to act like a little wife. What was he trying to do
Mingyu hadn't fallen asleep yet. Baihao respectfully told her the purpose of his visit outside the window. Mingyu lay down on the bed and sneered. What, he was having a good time drinking with his mistress in the front yard, but when he needed someone to serve him, he thought of this yellow-faced woman? You wish!
"Come in." Mingyu said.
Baihao entered the room. Mingyu asked Sister Liu to open the closet, nodded with her chin, and said, "His clothes are all there. Pick up two pieces and send them to him."
Mingyu sat on the bed in the inner room, refusing to move at all. Baihao had no choice but to take two pieces of clothes and go back to report.
Sima Hong was looking forward to it, and waited for a long time with anxiety and excitement, thinking about how to talk to Mingyu. Even if this page of unpleasantness was over, he could still hug her, kiss her lips, touch her hands, etc. Although Mingyu couldn't do that during pregnancy, it was good to touch and kiss her to satisfy her craving! However, when he heard footsteps, he quickly restored his calm and indifferent expression. When he saw that only Baihao came over, he was unhappy and asked with a sour face: "Where is the wife? Didn't I tell her to send it over?"
Baihao had a terrible toothache. Looking at him, he felt that his life had always been dark. What were they fussing about? The quarrel between the couple was more childish than that of two children!
Seeing Baihao's bitter face and silent, Sima Hong tilted his head and squinted his eyes, walked forward and picked up the outer robe in Baihao's arms, looking at him with disgust, "Did the madam pick this?"
Baihao shook his head and answered honestly: "No, I picked it."
Sima Hong immediately threw the clothes back into Baihao's arms, clapped his hands calmly, and said, "I don't like these two pieces. They don't suit my taste. Look at you. You have been with me for so long and you don't know what kind of clothes I like to wear. Let the wife choose. Ask her to send them to me after she has chosen them."
Baihao resisted the urge to kill his master. If Madam found you a sack, I wonder if you dare to put it on! He complained in his heart, but he had done many unreliable things for Sima Hong, not just this one. When he returned to Mingyu's yard, he said with a bitter face, "Madam, please go there in person. The Marquis wants to see you, but he can't bring himself to do it."
Mingyu gnashed his teeth. How old is he? Does he act like a three-year-old kid, crying out for love? He's already married, but he's still jealous for no reason. What kind of boyish sentiment is this? He must not be spoiled by his bad temper!
"I'm going to sleep." Mingyu was still very polite to Baihao.
Baihao smiled and heard Mingyu's tone softened a lot, so he quickly said, "Madam, you should go over there. The Marquis is too picky about clothes. He was not satisfied with the clothes I sent him and scolded me!"
After a while, Mingyu's sneer came through the window, "Since you are so picky, then don't wear clothes, just go naked!"
Baihao stood there dumbfounded. After he came to his senses, he bowed and took his leave, and quietly returned to the front yard. Sima Hong had been waiting impatiently. When he saw Baihao coming in, he looked out the door eagerly, but there was no sign of the person he was worried about. He was completely scared, "Where is he? Why hasn't he come yet?" he roared.
Facing such an unreasonable Sima Hong, Bai Hao showed his toughness for once and said loudly: "My wife said, I won't come!"
Sima Hong turned around and felt so angry that he wanted to scratch the wall. He couldn't help but blame Mingyu in his heart. He had already taken a step back, but she refused to give him this little face.
Mingyu could guess Sima Hong's depressed expression in the front yard. She was in a good mood for a moment and slept especially soundly. However, on this night, some people were destined to have a good sleep, while others were destined to have difficulty falling asleep.
After Lu Xuer returned home, she started smashing everything in the house. After she had smashed everything, she used scissors to cut the curtains and hangers. While cutting, she cried with a hideous look on her face, as if she was cutting the fair and beautiful face of Lady Anxi Marquis.
The maidservants were so scared that they dared not come to persuade her. Just now, in her rage, Lu Xuer had already stabbed two or three of the maids who served her. The remaining one was too timid and dared not get close.
"Miss." The maid advised fearfully, "We will return to Xi'an Prefecture tomorrow morning. Don't do this. It will be bad if people find out." The people who sent them back told them clearly that they must leave Tianshui before noon tomorrow, otherwise don't blame them for disregarding Commander Lu's face and throwing Miss Lu out of Tianshui.
"I'm going back like this? I'm going back like this?" Lu Xuer's face twisted into a ball, "I'm so embarrassed! How could he treat me like that? I want him to regret it! I want him to kneel down and beg me!"
In the chaos, she saw her own distorted and horribly face in the mirror. She screamed in anger and panic, and threw the mirror to the ground. That was not her. She was still very pretty!
It's already this time, and you're still saying these cruel words
The maid was helpless and afraid, fearing that Lv Xuer would vent her anger on her, so she whispered, "Miss, why don't you go back to Xi'an Mansion? I think the wife of the Marquis' Mansion tonight is not a simple person." She was scolded in front of her, but she was still calm. This only shows that she didn't regard Lv Xuer as a threat at all. It's ridiculous that her young lady is still dreaming of replacing her. And that Anxi Marquis is really terrible. He wants to cut the flesh off people's legs at any time. What's good about that? Going back to Xi'an Mansion and marrying a decent family under the master's order is better than being a concubine of someone shamelessly? RS
