The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

After the city lord hurriedly took the important thing away, he wanted to go and question his wife about the situation immediately, but at this moment, the coachman outside the door came with an anxious voice urging: "Lord City Lord, the situation is urgent and there is no time to lose! We have to set off quickly!"

Hearing the urgent call, the city lord couldn't help but frown. He looked down at the letter in his arms that he had not yet destroyed, and had no choice but to carry it with him.

Then he turned and walked quickly to the door, jumped on his horse, and gradually drove away as the sound of horse hooves echoed through the street.

Meng Jinyao, who stayed where she was, looked at her elder brother's departing back and felt confused.

However, she did not think too much about it, and quickly adjusted her mood and walked straight towards where the city lord's wife was.

After seeing the city lord's wife, Meng Jinyao couldn't wait to say, "Sister-in-law, now that my brother has left, we have plenty of time and opportunity to deal with that ignorant bitch!"

However, the city lord's wife shook her head slightly and replied softly: "This is inappropriate."

When Meng Jinyao heard this, her eyes widened and she asked in confusion, "Why, sister-in-law? Are you afraid of her? Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I will take all the responsibility, and the relationship between you and your brother will not be affected at all!"

After saying that, Meng Jinyao clenched her teeth tightly and clenched her hands into fists unconsciously. It was obvious that she was still brooding over what happened to Xue Jinhua that day, and the anger in her heart was growing stronger and stronger.

The city lord's wife shook her head slightly and said softly, "That's not the case. It's just that the city lord specifically told me to take good care of Madam Xue before he left."

"So if my sister has nothing urgent to do, it's better not to bother her in the near future."

Meng Jinyao frowned, looking dissatisfied, and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you speaking to that woman now? Have you forgotten what happened to the child in your belly?"

The city lord's wife responded with a firm look: "Little sister, I believe that Madam Xue would never do such a shameful thing."

At this moment, the city lord's wife was extremely confident.

After all, if what Xue Jinhua said was true and she was the Queen of Jin, why would she bother to compete with me for her favor?

However, when I think of the city lord...

The city lord knew that she was pregnant, and he also knew that if he failed to arrive in time, the fetus in her belly would be in danger, but in the end he still did not show up.

What does this mean? It simply means that deep in his heart, I am insignificant at all, and he has no love for me at all! Whenever she thinks of this, the lady of the city lord feels as if her heart is being torn by a knife, and she feels unbearable pain and almost suffocates.

Meng Jinyao's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Sister-in-law, are these things you said... all true? Do you really think so?"

The city lord's wife nodded slightly to show her affirmation. Her dignified and beautiful face looked very solemn at the moment. She said slowly: "Little sister, many things in this world are not as simple as what we see with our naked eyes. I have said everything I should say to you. As for how things will develop in the future, you should not say too much."

Meng Jinyao looked at her sister-in-law, who had always been gentle, virtuous and considerate, and the anger in her heart became increasingly difficult to control.

Especially when she saw that she had reached such a point and was still protecting that hateful Madam Xue, Meng Jinyao felt a tightness in her chest and anger instantly surged in her heart.

"Sister-in-law! How could you do this? You are too cowardly!" Meng Jinyao finally couldn't hold back the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart and shouted out loudly.

Before she finished her words, she turned around and ran towards the door, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment through running.

The city lord's wife was originally standing quietly in place. After hearing Meng Jinyao's words, her body shook violently, as if she was hit by an invisible force.

If it weren't for the maid Tracy beside her who quickly caught her, she would have fallen to the ground in a mess.

Tracy looked at her wife with a worried look on her face, and gently advised: "Madam, Miss Jinyao... why are you making things difficult for yourself?"

The city lord's wife slowly stood up, shook her head gently, and sighed: "Alas, you are not hungry and don't understand. Even sister Jin Yao can't understand my difficulties."

After saying that, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her slightly trembling hands betrayed her uneasy state of mind.

Seeing this, Tracy knew that it was useless to persuade her further, so she could only stand by silently and said nothing.

However, only the city lord's wife herself knew that she had very little time left to deal with this complicated situation.

She stood up slowly, her movements gentle and slow, as if she was carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders.

She raised her head slightly, looked at Tracy with firm eyes, and said softly, "Come on, take me to Mrs. Xue." Although her voice was soft, the determination contained in it was unquestionable.

Tracy had been paying attention to her facial expressions and naturally noticed that she was in a very low mood at the moment.

Looking at the face that had lost its former radiance, Tracy couldn't help but feel a surge of pity in her heart, and asked cautiously, "Madam, do you really want to go over now? Or... should we wait a little longer?"

However, she did not hesitate at all. She nodded without hesitation and answered firmly: "Yes, I'll go right away." Her resolute attitude made Tracy not know how to dissuade her for a moment.

Tracy sighed secretly, muttering in her heart: Madam, Madam, you are just humiliating yourself! She knew that nothing good would come out of meeting Madam Xue, but she was still so persistent. Although she was unwilling in her heart, since the Madam had made up her mind, what could a servant do?

In this way, the city lord's wife walked with heavy steps towards the courtyard where Xue Jinhua was.

Along the way, her mood became increasingly heavy, and various thoughts kept emerging in her mind.

At the same time, Xue Jinhua was sitting leisurely on a stone bench in the courtyard, gently fiddling with a beautiful flower in her hand.

When she heard Ximei coming to report that the city lord's wife was about to visit, she did not show much surprise on her face, as if she had expected it.

However, since Ximei was still present, it was not convenient to speak out some of my thoughts.

Therefore, when the city lord's wife stepped into the courtyard, Xue Jinhua waved her hand without hesitation, signaling Ximei to leave first.

Even though Ximei was extremely reluctant to leave, she had no choice but to obey orders at this moment.

After Ximei left, only the city lord's wife and Xue Jinhua were left in the courtyard.

The city lord's wife stared at Xue Jinhua in front of her, her eyes revealing an indescribable complex emotion.

She regarded Xue Jinhua as her mortal rival, and even thought that it was this woman who caused her to lose her love and suffer such misfortune.

However, today, she is shocked to find that Xue Jinhua's status and position are so high and beyond the reach of others.

This huge contrast made the city lord's wife feel uneasy and mixed.

Xue Jinhua stood there calmly with a faint smile on her face, not showing any embarrassment or anxiety at being looked at from head to toe.

On the contrary, she just stood there quietly, like a lotus blooming in the wind, noble and elegant.

After a long while, Xue Jinhua slowly spoke: "Madam, you are looking at me so carefully. Does this mean that you trust me?"

Hearing this, the city lord's wife was slightly startled, but soon returned to normal.

She just nodded slightly, indicating that she did believe it.

However, she did not stop there. Instead, she continued with a hint of hesitation: "Although I believe you, I still have some doubts in my heart..."

The city lord's wife originally wanted to address the person in front of her as "Empress", but then she changed her mind and realized that it would be inappropriate to address her like that in the current situation. So, after a brief pause, she changed her words and said, "Madam Xue, what do you want me to do for you?"

Xue Jinhua smiled slightly, with a barely perceptible light flashing in her eyes.

She reached into her bosom and carefully took out a letter that had been prepared long ago. She then handed it to the city lord's wife and said softly, "I hope the city lord's wife can deliver this letter to Jin State for me. If this can be accomplished smoothly, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

The city lord's wife looked at the letter, her eyes wandered on the envelope for a moment, and then she reached out and took it without hesitation.

However, the moment she took the letter, she suddenly bit her lips, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Seeing this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Madam, since you are willing to help me, I think you must have something to ask for. Why don't you just tell me what you want?"

"Madam Xue, the things that the city lord did might have been simply because he was confused and impulsive at the time..."

"Even though Madam Xue is very angry about this matter, I beg you to show some mercy and spare the people of Southern Xinjiang! They are completely innocent!"

Xue Jinhua couldn't help but show surprise. At first, she thought that the city lord's wife would find ways to plead for the city lord, but that was not the case.

Xue Jinhua paused for a moment, then said slowly, "Madam, please relax. I have always been a person who clearly distinguishes between love and hate. Even if the city lord did make some mistakes, he saved my life anyway. Therefore, no matter what, I will never implicate those innocent people who have nothing to do with this matter."

Hearing this, the city lord's wife breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

She once again lowered her head and stared at the letter tightly held in her hand, and said softly: "Mrs. Xue, please rest assured, I will definitely try my best to deliver this letter intact."

At this point, the City Lord's wife hesitated for a moment, then raised her head again, looked at Xue Jinhua earnestly, and said cautiously: "It's just... I have one more request."

Xue Jinhua frowned slightly and responded simply, "You can say whatever you want."

The city lord's wife hesitated for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Madam Xue may not know that the city lord is very suspicious. He cannot even fully trust the people close to me. So this... is indeed too few in number."

Xue Jinhua naturally knew that the City Lord's wife wanted to send the letter out in several batches.

However, it is difficult to predict which ones can be successfully delivered to their destination.

But at the same time, Xue Jinhua knew very well that if the number of letters was too large, the chances of being discovered and exposed would undoubtedly increase greatly.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look worried, and asked softly: "Based on the situation, when the matter is exposed, the city lord's wife will inevitably be implicated. Don't you worry about your own safety?"

In any case, in Xue Jinhua's eyes, this way of doing things is not safe or reliable.

When the city lord's wife heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a bitter smile, and she slowly said: "As long as I can help Madam Xue get rid of the current troubles and avoid disasters for the people of southern Xinjiang, what does my personal small sacrifice mean?" After she finished speaking, her eyes revealed a determination and resoluteness.

"Besides, whether it can be discovered is still unknown, so Madam Xue, please don't worry about it!"

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xue Jinhua stopped trying to persuade her.

Shortly after the city lord's wife left, Ximei walked into the house to greet her.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua's expression was still as calm as usual, as if everything that had happened before had not had any impact on her.

Ximei hesitated for a while, but couldn't suppress her curiosity. She asked cautiously, "Madam, what did you say to the city lord's wife just now? When I saw the city lord's wife leave, her face didn't look very good."

However, in response to Ximei's question, Xue Jinhua remained silent and just sat there quietly.

Seeing this, Ximei felt a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to give up, so she had to quickly explain: "If Madam doesn't want to say it, then don't say it. In fact, I asked Madam this just because I care about you."

"After all, Madam also knows that the City Lord's wife has always been prejudiced against you and has always targeted you. I am really worried that you will suffer because of this!"
