After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian's heart suddenly shook, and an indescribable throbbing spread across her heart.

He got it.

He already knew it.

Yes, as smart as he is, how could he not guess that her determination to seek revenge on Qianji Pavilion was not just because of the hatred for the Chu family?

Meng Qianqian looked at him in a daze, and saw desperate support and determination in his extremely gentle eyes.

At this moment, all words are pale.

She finally stopped denying that she was Shang Xiaojiu, nor did she ask him when he figured it out, or how he convinced herself to accept and believe that she was a reborn person.

Not important anymore.

It was enough that he was willing to accompany her unwaveringly on this thorny road of revenge.

She nodded steadily, as if they had reached some kind of agreement: "Okay."

She jumped.

Lu Yuan stood at the foot of the courtyard wall, looking at the wall where she had once been.

Suddenly, a clever head popped out.

Lu Yuan smiled softly: "Are you still not leaving?"

Meng Qianqian scratched her bangs and whispered, "I'm not used to you being so gentle all of a sudden..."

Lu Yuan: “Hmm?”

"No, I just suddenly want to do something."

Meng Qianqian blinked, leaned most of her body into the house, hesitated for a moment, and then retracted back to the top of the wall.

Lu Yuan curled his lips: "Do you want to do this?"

He raised his hand, held Meng Qianqian's head, and covered her red lips domineeringly yet gently.

……

Later in the night.

Meng Qianqian wore a nightgown, covered her face, and sneaked back to Yan Niangzi's courtyard.

As soon as I opened the door of my room, a majestic voice came from inside: "You still remember to come back?"

Meng Qianqian was terrified: "Master, what are you doing in my room?"

Lady Yan said calmly, "Light the lamp."

"Oh."

Meng Qianqian obediently took out the tinder and lit an oil lamp.

The dim light reflected on her delicate face, which was fair and rosy. Her eyes were moving and full of water, and her lips seemed to contain vermilion, which was red without any makeup, but a little too red.

After all, he has been the owner of Wanhua Tower for many years. It would be unreasonable if he couldn't see what this girl did.

"Are you going there to deliver a message or to meet your lover in private?"

Meng Qianqian pursed her lips: "Can't we be together?"

Madam Yan said unhappily, "Your head is about to move, and you still have the leisure to indulge in romance."

Meng Qianqian flattered him to the sky: "Don't we still have you, Master? You have great powers and will definitely help me out of danger!"

Madam Yan: "Stop flattering me!"

Meng Qianqian: “Oh.”

"I don't know who he followed."

Madam Yan glared at her with a look of disappointment. Suddenly, her senior sister's words flashed through her mind, "You admit your mistakes but don't correct them. You have led Xiaojiu astray."

She cleared her throat awkwardly and said calmly, "Did you go somewhere you shouldn't have gone today?"

"No."

Meng Qianqian answered without hesitation.

Madam Yan looked at her sharply: "Are you sure?"

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "Confirmed."

Madam Yan looked at her deeply and said, "If you are really her, you'd better make sure Qianji Pavilion doesn't discover your secret, otherwise, even I can't protect you."

This was not the first time that Madam Yan reminded her not to be discovered by Qianji Pavilion.

In the past, she would have just taken it as an ordinary warning.

But now, she doesn't think so.

Gongsun Liuying took away her life.

Recently, Gongsun Liuying has started making frequent mistakes.

Counting the dates, it happened not long after I entered Qianji Pavilion.

Does this mean that her appearance will affect Gongsun Liuying's fate?

It was as if the fate had sensed the call from the original owner and was trying to break free from the shackles and return to the owner.

This may sound a bit exaggerated, but if it is true, then it will be easier than you think to take back your own destiny.

Once Qianji Pavilion finds out about this, they will kill her at all costs.

Is this what Mr. Ziwu meant by “both a great disaster and a great fortune”?

Instead of being afraid, Meng Qianqian became a little excited.

"What messy ideas do you have in mind, girl?"

Noticing the gleam in Meng Qianqian's eyes, Madam Yan regretted reminding her.

She should have understood long ago that this girl was born rebellious, and her whole body was filled with courage. The more she was forbidden to do something, the more she would insist on doing it. She was not afraid of death at all.

Meng Qianqian's gaze fell back on Madam Yan's face.

Madam Yan must know about fate, but she doesn't seem to want to tell her.

Whatever.

It doesn’t matter whether she says it or not, she has almost guessed it anyway.

"Qianji Pavilion wiped out my entire merchant family, not even sparing innocent members of my clan. I want them to pay with blood, and I want to take back what belongs to me."

Madam Yan frowned slightly.

It is not surprising that Meng Qianqian wants to seek revenge on Qianji Pavilion.

But the last sentence, "I want to take back what belongs to me," seems to have another meaning.

"you--"

She hesitated, "I'm going to rest."

Meng Qianqian curled her lips and said, "Master, when you enter the palace tomorrow, remember to bring me with you."

Madam Yan paused, frowned slightly and said, "The Pavilion Master didn't say to take me into the palace."

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Master, take care."

At dawn the next day, news came from the palace—the queen was unwell and bedridden.

This was too much. The queen was the legitimate mother. Not to mention being bedridden, even if she sneezed, the princes would have to go to the palace to take care of her.

The young eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict said, "I heard that Prince Jian also went there."

Lu Qi has gone to the bedside to show his filial piety. Can Lu Yuan, who is also the emperor's grandson, just ignore it?

Lu Zhaoyan is not stupid.

He has spies in the palace, and what happened today was clearly aimed at his son.

Well, let those people see that his son, Lu Zhaoyan, is not so easy to bully.

"Son, I wasn't around before and couldn't protect you. From now on, I will never let you be bullied again."

Lu Zhaoyan had even thought of words to comfort his son, but as soon as he entered the yard, he was choked by his rebellious son.

"My mother won't go. Don't drag her into this manly business."

Lu Zhaoyan glared at his rebellious son.

I'm here to find you. Who wants to drag Xiaobai into this muddy water?

Lu Zhaoyan took a deep breath. How could he have such a bad son? He had been thinking of some sentimental words along the way, but he couldn't say a single word.

"I just want to see if your mother is awake, say a few words to her and then leave."

"Oh, my mother is willing to see you?"

The first sharp knife of the day was stabbed into my heart by my rebellious son.

Ever since Liu Qingyun found out that he had slept with his sworn brother, he felt so embarrassed that he avoided Lu Zhaoyan for several days.

Lu Zhaoyan said expressionlessly: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you don't want to pursue my mother."

Lu Zhaoyan's expression changed in an instant: "Speak."

Lu Yuan raised the corners of his lips and said, "To chase a woman, you have to cater to her preferences. Do you want to know what my mother likes?"

Lu Zhaoyan looked at his rebellious son.

Lu Yuan made a gesture as if giving money.

Lu Zhaoyan took out a thousand taels of silver with a gloomy face and handed it to him.

Lu Yuan accepted the banknote and said, "My mother likes to sleep."

Lu Zhaoyan: “……!!”

Lu Zhaoyan picked up the stick on the ground.

Lu Yuan ran away.

"Jifeng, hold him down!"

"Mom! Your man beats your son—"

Clang!

Liu Qingyun kicked the door open and rushed out with murderous intent.

In the courtyard, Lu Yuan was tidying up Lu Yuan's clothes, speaking softly and in a fatherly manner: "When you go into the palace later, remember to follow me."

Lu Yuan didn't move his lips: "Five thousand taels."

Lu Zhaoyan: “Three thousand.”

Lu Yuan opened his mouth: "Mom——"

Lu Zhaoyan: "Deal."
