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

Meng Jincheng walked over slowly with steady and powerful steps. His sculptured and stern face looked particularly serious at the moment, as if covered by a layer of frost.

As he approached, the atmosphere of the entire scene suddenly dropped to freezing point as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Just then, Tracy walked into the room with a pot of steaming tea.

When she saw the scene, she couldn't help but gasp, secretly exclaiming in her heart that something was wrong.

She moved her feet carefully, not daring to make any sound, for fear of attracting Meng Jincheng's attention.

However, although she tried her best to control herself, her breathing became rapid and disordered due to excessive tension, and even the breath she exhaled seemed to turn into white mist.

But when the city lord's wife noticed the strange atmosphere around her and Meng Jincheng's unhappy expression, her heart couldn't help but tighten, and an ominous premonition arose.

She stood up subconsciously and said with some stammering: "City... City Lord." Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner fear and uneasiness.

Meng Jincheng's eyes, as deep as the sea, were fixed on the city lord's wife, his gaze so sharp that it seemed to be able to penetrate a person's soul.

After a moment of silence, he finally broke the suffocating silence and asked coldly: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Hearing this, Tracy's breathing suddenly became more nervous, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

The city lord's wife was even more panicked, her eyes wandering around, not daring to look at Meng Jincheng.

For a moment, her mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, all kinds of ideas came one after another like a tangled mess.

Could it be that the city lord discovered something? But that shouldn't be the case! I have always been careful and cautious in doing things, and I have handled every detail perfectly.

Moreover, the city lord is far away in Jin State at this time, how could he know what is happening here?

Thinking of this, the city lord's wife calmed herself down a little and tried to calm herself down.

Then, she took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the uneasiness and grievances in her heart into her lungs.

After a short pause, she finally mustered up the courage and responded softly with a slightly aggrieved tone: "Lord City Lord, I have never done anything wrong. Do you... do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

At this moment, Meng Jincheng still stood there expressionlessly like a sculpture, staring straight at the beautiful face in front of him that once made his heart beat fast and haunted his dreams.

However, what is surprising is that his deep eyes no longer have the tenderness and affection of the past, but are replaced by full of disappointment and unspeakable heartache.

Then, under the extremely nervous gaze of the city lord's wife, Meng Jincheng reached out without hesitation, took out a thick stack of letters from his arms, and threw them heavily on the table.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the letters scattered like startled butterflies.

"Madam, I believe you must have seen all these things before, right?" Meng Jincheng's voice was as cold as frost and snow in a cold night, without a trace of warmth.

When the city lord's wife's eyes fell on those familiar letters, her already snow-white face instantly turned bloodless and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

"City... City Lord!" At this moment, she was already flustered and at a loss, and had no idea how to deal with such a sudden situation.

However, despite this, the city lord's inner anger did not diminish in the slightest.

On the contrary, his expression became increasingly gloomy and ugly, and even his words revealed a hint of complaint: "Madam, don't you intend to explain these things to me?"

Faced with the city lord's aggressive questioning, the city lord's wife was speechless and could only repeat that simple syllable over and over again - "I... I..."

However, no matter how hard she tried, she was still unable to utter a complete sentence that would justify herself.

"I always thought that you would stick by me through thick and thin and share the good and bad times with me! But now that things have come to this, why would you betray me like this?" Meng Jincheng roared in anger, his voice echoing throughout the room.

He opened his eyes wide, staring at the woman in front of him who had once made a vow of eternal love to him, his heart filled with disappointment and anger.

"You are my wife! At this critical moment, instead of standing firmly by my side to support me, you turned against me. What exactly do you want to do?" Meng Jincheng took a step forward, clenched his hands into fists, and trembled slightly due to excessive force.

His originally handsome face now seemed a little distorted due to extreme anger, making people feel intimidated.

The city lord's wife was obviously frightened by his crazy appearance, and she stepped back involuntarily.

However, thinking of the difficult situation she was in, she forced herself to remain calm and said in a trembling voice: "Lord City Lord, please calm down... Can you calm down first? Things are really not what you imagined. We can sit down and talk it out..."

“Talk nicely? Hahahaha…” Meng Jincheng laughed wildly towards the sky as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

After laughing, he suddenly stopped laughing, glared at the city lord's wife fiercely, and said with gritted teeth: "Do you think I can still talk to you calmly now? You shameless bitch, how dare you betray me!"

Before he finished his words, there was a crisp "pa" sound. Meng Jincheng raised his hand almost without thinking and slapped the city lord's wife hard on the delicate and fair cheek.

The sudden attack was so powerful that the city lord's wife staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Five clearly visible finger marks instantly appeared on her face, and a trace of blood even flowed from the corner of her mouth.

The city lord's wife covered her injured face in horror, tears streaming from her eyes like a dam breaking.

She looked at the man in front of her who had become so strange in disbelief, her heart aching.

Tracy, who was standing nearby, was so shocked by the scene that her face turned pale. The teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a bang and shattered into pieces.

The tea splashed on her skirt, but she had no time to care about it at this time. She just stared blankly at everything happening in front of her, and was completely terrified.

She hurried forward with a panicked look, stretched out her hands and carefully supported the shaky City Lord's wife, then turned her head and stared at Meng Jincheng with extremely sad and resentful eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord City Lord, you really misunderstood my wife! My wife didn't do this voluntarily at all. It was all coercion and inducement from that hateful Madam Xue that forced her to do this."

Hearing this, the city lord's wife shouted angrily: "Tracy, shut up! Stop talking nonsense!" At this moment, the city lord's wife was filled with fear and anxiety, because she did not want to see her own affairs exposed.

However, Tracy did not take the city lord's wife's warning to heart.

On the contrary, she continued with a look of indignation: "Madam, Madam Xue is not related to you at all, why are you helping her like this? Now, you and the Lord City Lord are husband and wife, so you are a family. There is no need to create a rift and dispute with the Lord City Lord for an unrelated outsider."

Meng Jincheng pursed his lips slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Madam, even the little maid beside you can think so clearly, why are you so stubborn?"

Facing Meng Jincheng's questioning, the City Lord's wife couldn't help but frown and asked with a face full of grievance: "Husband, does your action today really mean that everything Madam Xue said is true?"

Meng Jincheng didn't expect her to ask this, and his face immediately tightened, "So what? I told you, don't worry about my business."

This time, the city lord's wife finally figured out all the truth. It turned out that everything Mrs. Xue said was true. What shocked her even more was that even her husband, the city lord, was hiding a secret that was unknown to others!

When she thought about the long-standing peace and tranquility in the southern Xinjiang region being broken, the city lord's wife became extremely excited. She hurried to Meng Jincheng and said anxiously: "Husband, there are some things you must not do! Absolutely not!"

“You must know that Madam Xue is the extremely noble Queen of the State of Jin. If the people of Jin get to know about this, our Southern Xinjiang will probably be doomed to failure and there will never be peace again!” The City Lord’s wife said as she tightly held Meng Jincheng’s hand, her eyes full of worry and fear.

In short, whenever the City Lord's wife thought of what Meng Jincheng had done, her heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making her feel so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.

However, faced with such a critical situation, how could she sit idly by?

Meng Jincheng looked at his wife with a gloomy face. He knew very well that since she already knew Xue Jinhua's true identity, it was impossible for her to continue hiding it.

So he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Madam, if you can be obedient and stop interfering in this matter, I can still treat you as my wife; but if you insist on having your own way and insist on helping Madam Xue... then don't blame me for not considering the years of love between husband and wife!"

In short, Meng Jincheng was already furious at this moment, but when he thought about what would happen tomorrow, the rage burning in his heart was finally forcibly suppressed.

He stared at Madam Xue in front of him with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Put away your annoying expression! I will spare you today, not because I am soft-hearted, but because the emperor of Jin will be here tomorrow. You should be alert and prepare for the reception!"

Meng Jincheng's words were like a thunderclap, instantly making the city lord's wife pale with fright.

She opened her eyes wide, her face full of astonishment and disbelief, and stammered, "What...what did you just say? The emperor of Jin...is coming? How...is this possible?" Obviously, this sudden news caught her off guard.

However, facing the shocked reaction of the city lord's wife, Meng Jincheng just frowned slightly and interrupted impatiently: "Humph, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I have my own ideas about this matter, and you don't need to worry about it. In addition, remember not to reveal any news to Madam Xue, understand?"

The City Lord's wife calmed down a little after hearing this, took a deep breath and responded: "But it may not be so easy to hide such a serious matter from Madam Xue. Besides, what exactly is the purpose of the Emperor of Jin coming here this time?"

At this point, she couldn't help but speculate secretly, and her heart became more and more uneasy. Could it be that the secret letter she had sent before had worked?

Although the city lord's wife was full of curiosity, she still forced herself not to speak out her questions.

After all, the Emperor of Jin was about to arrive, and it would be inappropriate for her, as the city lord's wife, not to go out to greet him in person.

However, what is the most appropriate way to handle this matter?

If there is any mistake in the process, given the city lord's temper, he will definitely not let her off easily.

Thinking of this, the city lord's wife couldn't help but feel a little scared.

After some careful consideration, the city lord's wife finally sorted out her thoughts.

She took a deep breath and said to the city lord calmly, "My dear husband, please rest assured. I already know what to do."

Hearing his wife's answer, Meng Jincheng knew that she had always been cautious and careful, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Moreover, he knew very well that with her courage, she would never dare to do anything out of line on her own.

At this time, Meng Jincheng once again solemnly reminded: "You are a descendant of the royal family of Nanjiang City. The Emperor of Jin will come in person tomorrow, and we must come out to greet him no matter what." Hearing this, the city lord's wife's face turned pale in an instant.

Obviously, she felt a lot of pressure about this task.

Seeing her panic-stricken look, Meng Jincheng couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. He frowned and asked sternly, "What? Don't you even listen to me?"

Facing her husband's questioning, the city lord's wife hurriedly shook her head and replied in fear: "I dare not, I already know the interests involved, please don't be angry, my husband."

Seeing his wife's sincere attitude, Meng Jincheng felt relieved.

In fact, he had always known in his heart that the contest with Ling Yan would come sooner or later, and the visit of the Emperor of Jin this time might be an opportunity...

After Meng Jincheng left, Tracy breathed a sigh of relief and said to the city lord's wife in a low voice: "Madam, the city lord treats you like this, you really shouldn't have kept these things from him! In my opinion, that Madam Xue is not trustworthy at all. If you continue to trust her, who knows how big a mess you will get into!"

Upon hearing this, the city lord's wife couldn't help but frown and sighed worriedly: "Alas, the reasons behind this are very complicated. In fact, I have long guessed that the Jin emperor's visit here must be related to Madam Xue. If the city lord insists on his own way and refuses to change his mind... the consequences will be disastrous!"

Just as the city lord's wife was thinking secretly, Meng Jinyao suddenly rushed in and shouted excitedly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, have you heard? The emperor of Jin will be coming to southern Xinjiang soon!"

The City Lord's wife was interrupted from her thoughts. She came back to her senses somewhat unhappily, looked at the cheerful Meng Jinyao in front of her, and said, "What if he comes?"

Meng Jinyao came up to the city lord's wife and explained with great excitement: "Sister-in-law, you don't know that this Jin emperor is not a simple person. He is the youngest and most promising monarch since the founding of Jin! Not only that, since he ascended the throne, he has not yet appointed a queen. The huge harem has always been empty."
