Meng Liu had nothing to do, so he used his status as Mrs. Hou to open up his own social circle in the capital. He would either go to the host's house to attend banquets or the west's house to have drinks.

After Lu Xiao left the next day, the more he thought about it when he got to the military camp, the more annoyed he became. He didn't accompany her when serving tea on the second day, and he didn't show up when she returned home on the third day. He thought she would beg him to save face when she returned to her parents' home, but Lu Xiao thought about it. He asked how to torment her, but the woman remained silent.

Following his hint, his mother's housekeeping rights were not handed over to her, but she was able to endure it. All day long, she dressed up beautifully and went out to attend banquets. When she had nothing to do, she would read and play the piano in her yard.

Seeing how happy she was, Lu Xiao was unhappy.

That night was nothing short of a nightmare for him. He never thought in his life that someone would dare to do this to him.

But Meng Liu was right. He could not abandon her. Only the emperor and his mother knew about her physical disability. If she really told her, the entire Weiyong Hou Mansion would be disgraced.

But he was unwilling to let her live a good life like this. He wanted to torture her, but Meng Liu's martial arts was superior to his.

He wanted to kill her to silence her, but the subordinates around Lu Xiao were all promoted from the military camp. He sent them to kill his married wife. He could only imagine what those subordinates would think of him once he gave such an order.

Even if he doesn't let go of the person next to him, will anyone follow him sincerely?

For a moment, he was in trouble. Lu Xiao never expected that a low-level official and a concubine could be in such trouble.

After much deliberation, he could only shame her in front of outsiders. He began to bring back one room after another of his concubines from outside, doing so with great fanfare and clearly slapping her in the face.

The relationship between the ladies in the capital was inherently more fragile than glass. Seeing this scene, none of them kept their mouths shut, laughing at jokes and sarcasm, but Meng Liu acted generous enough, which made them stand out. The little tripe chicken intestines died out soon after.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Lu Xiao vented his anger on those concubines, and soon another one died.

The matter was left to Meng Liulai to deal with the aftermath. She was so disgusted that she took her maid into the concubine's room. She saw that the woman was dead in a miserable state, with not a single piece of skin on her body, and various utensils scattered on the ground. , which shows how much pain he suffered before his death.

Meng Liu frowned almost the whole time while arranging the concubine's affairs.

Not all other concubines knew about what was going on in the backyard. Meng Liu silently called all the women and gave them a choice. Those who wanted to leave could now raise their concerns and she would make the decision to let them go.

If you don't want to leave, you will be responsible for your future life and death. Don't expect her to save you in trouble.

Everyone discussed in a low voice, but only two women were willing to leave. The others still had sweet dreams and expected to enjoy the glory and wealth in the Hou Mansion.

Except for Meng Liu, almost everyone here had been tortured by Lu Xiao inhumanely, but there were still women who didn't want to leave.

These people themselves didn't take themselves seriously, and Meng Liu naturally didn't want to meddle in other people's business. She made proper arrangements for the two women who were leaving, and waved her hand not to bother her in the future.

Walking into the night alone, he went to Lu Xiao's study.

"Get out."

The exact same words rang out, and it suddenly seemed like I was back to that wedding night.

Meng Liu locked the door and took out the tools found in the dead concubine's room. She didn't bother to talk nonsense to Lu Xiao, and directly sealed his meridians three or two times, making him unable to move.

What followed was a night that was even more memorable than the last time.

According to the injuries sustained by the concubine, Meng Liu returned all the original injuries to Lu Xiao's body, not even sparing the area where he had been injured. The whip made him extremely painful.

"I want to live a good life, but you are so disobedient that you torture women because you are physically disabled? What is the truth of this?"

Lu Xiao's face was red, and he was helpless and furious, but he couldn't stop her at all.

Meng Liu slapped him on the face insultingly: "I will only say some things once, please listen carefully.

First, it has nothing to do with me how many concubines you want to take, but you can't rob civilian girls, they must be willing to follow you. "

Lu Xiao gritted his teeth: "Do you think there are women who won't be willing to enter Weiyonghou's mansion?"

The naked discrimination in these words provoked Meng Liu to whip him twice.

"Don't take yourself too seriously. You don't even have the functions of a man. Do you think those women in the backyard would still be willing to follow you if they knew about your disability?"

Lu Xiao stopped talking and chattered his teeth with anger.

"Second, don't kill anyone again. I'm not interested in your perverted habits, but if you let me get involved in your muddy waters all the time, then don't blame me for being cruel.

I want to live in peace with you, but you must not touch my bottom line again and again, driving me crazy and even scaring me. "

Lu Xiao looked at her seriously, as if thinking about the truth or falsehood of her words.

After a while, he came to the conclusion that all the suggestions made by this woman coincided with his thoughts. He could not divorce his wife, nor could she lose her life. It was indeed the best choice for the two of them to live in harmony.

It's okay to play around, but if you rob a common girl, you will be sued to the Holy Emperor one day, and Weiyong Houfu will not be able to get a favor, and he, Lu Xiao, doesn't even bother to do such a thing.

As for not causing any loss of life, the sudden deaths of his three previous wives have probably attracted the attention of some people in the capital, so there really shouldn't be any further disturbances.

But what he cares about most is: "You can't tell anyone about me."

Meng Liu sneered: "Okay."

The deal was concluded, and Meng Liu restored his meridians.

"Remember what you promised. If there is a next time, don't blame me for slapping you in the face."

On the carriage.

Yuan Xiang sadly opened the curtain and took a look.

"Madam, looking at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily soon."

Meng Liu put down the book in his hand and frowned: "How long until we get to the Hou Mansion?"

"About one more stick of incense is needed."

"Tell the driver to hurry up."

She went to attend the birthday of the eldest princess today. Unexpectedly, after finishing the wine, lightning and thunder started on the way home. The group hurriedly and slowly arrived at the Hou Mansion when the heavy rain fell.

But as soon as it landed, dark clouds covered the sky and rain continued to fall.

There was still some distance from the gate to her yard, so Yuan Xiang held up a big umbrella to protect her.

Meng Liu quickened his pace, but when he passed by the front yard, he saw a familiar figure kneeling at the door of the study. The rain had already wet his body. His already pale face now looked even more pale, and his whole body was crumbling.

She didn't want to get involved in Lu Xiao's affairs, but seeing that the child was only fifteen years old, if he knelt down any longer, he might be at the root of his illness. After all, he was nominally her son.

Considering that a boy of this age has to save face, I'm afraid he doesn't want too many people to see his embarrassment.
