Chapter 217: Looking for a Husband
Not long after Lu Tingen finished speaking, Lu Tingsong actually walked out of the house.
"You shameless bastard, you still have the nerve to come out..."
The moment Gao Minglan saw her man, she completely broke down and was about to hit him.
Lu Tingsong held her hand that was about to hit someone: "Auntie, please give me some face."
Gao Minglan was not willing to give up. She reached out with her other hand and immediately scratched Lu Tingsong's face, leaving a bloody mark.
"You're a rebel!" Lu Tingsong was also angry and reached out to hit Gao Minglan.
But Leng Qingyu spoke to stop him.
"Tingsong, stop it!"
When Lu Tingsong heard Leng Qingyu's words, he didn't take it seriously.
They usually just treated Leng Qingyu as the family's cash box, and would just ask her for money when they were short of money.
It's really not respect.
At this time, Lu Tingen also said, "Why don't you stop it? How long are you going to make trouble?"
Lu Tingsong had no choice but to put his hand down in disappointment.
Gao Minglan felt that she had finally seen the true face of this man today.
"Okay, okay, you actually hit me for this woman. I can't live like this anymore. Go back and get a divorce."
Lu Tingsong also became anxious when he heard this, "What are you doing? It's not what you think, I'm not..."
"Ting Song!"
Just as Lu Tingsong was about to explain, Lu Tingen's majestic voice interrupted him: "You secretly kept a mistress outside, which was wrong in the first place. Why don't you admit your mistake to your sister-in-law!"
"Brother, I..."
Lu Tingsong looked at his elder brother in disbelief.
Lu Tingen looked serious and shook his head slightly at him.
Lu Tingsong immediately understood what was going on, and reluctantly said to Gao Minglan, "I am sorry for you about this matter, please stop making a fuss, and let's go home and talk about it."
"You are afraid of being embarrassed, but I am not. Tell me clearly now, when did you get together with this woman?
My son is so big now!
You are a student of Fengming Academy, you have invested a lot of money!
I was wondering where all the money in the family went, and it turns out you used it to support this bitch and this bastard!"
The people around heard this and were already discussing secretly:
"Isn't it said that Lu Changning is the best student in the academy? Will he take the top spot in the imperial examination next year?"
"Just listen to his mother's boasting! How can he be the top scholar? His mother is not virtuous, so even if he passes the exam, he is not worthy of being the top scholar."
Their voices were so loud that everyone present could hear them.
Lu Tingen's face turned pale.
Zhao Wanyi was secretly happy.
Lu Tingsong wanted to pull Gao Minglan away quickly, but Gao Minglan was so angry that she didn't care about her reputation at all. She kept pulling him and refused to leave.
The farce finally stopped after Madam Lu stepped forward.
Mrs. Lu had originally planned to rest after dinner.
Suddenly, a maid came to report that the Marquis and his wife had gone to Yongning Lane.
Madam Lu knew something was wrong, so she immediately got up, had her horses prepared, and hurried over.
When she arrived, she saw her beloved niece and eldest grandson kneeling in the crowd and being tortured.
It's heart-breaking to watch.
She roared angrily, scolding Gao Minglan for being ignorant of the overall situation, disregarding the overall situation, and bringing shame to the Lu family.
Then someone helped Ning Yuer and Lu Changning back into the house.
Then he ordered the Lu family to go back to the Marquis' Mansion with him.
After returning home, the old lady was still angry.
She cursed Gao Minglan for being incompetent and for allowing her man to have someone else outside.
As Lu Tingsong's wife, you should always put Lu Tingsong first and the reputation of the Marquisate first.
She, Gao Minglan, is not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family!
Gao Minglan was scolded severely.
She looked up and asked Zhao Wanyi for help, but Lu Wanyi immediately turned her head away, pretending not to see her.
Leng Qingyu helped her speak:
“Mother only thought about the reputation of the Marquisate, but didn’t think about our feelings.
As a woman, if my father had a mistress, would my mother have turned a blind eye to it?"
"So many things were lost in the mansion. Both my brothers and sisters said they had never seen them. Maybe they were all sent to that woman's house by the second son. Mother, don't you want to retrieve some of them?"
"I don't think she's from a respectable family. If she were, why wouldn't she be a concubine in the Second Master's mansion? Why must she be so secretive?"
Every time Leng Qingyu said something, the old lady's face turned paler.
After hearing the last sentence, she blurted out angrily:
"She is a girl from a good family, how can she be someone else's concubine?"
Leng Qingyu immediately asked: "A girl from a good family? Does your mother know her?
Or did your mother already know about this?"
The old lady kept silent.
Gao Minglan also asked: "Which girl from a good family would become someone's mistress? She's obviously a slut!"
"You two are rebelling!"
The old lady was so angry that she beat her chest.
Lu Tingen and Lu Tingsong remained silent.
Lu Tingen’s mind was still filled with the painful look of Yu’er being tortured just now. He had to find a chance to comfort her.
However, Lu Tingsong was thinking in his heart, since he had helped his elder brother so much this time, how much benefit would he have to give to express his gratitude to him?
Everyone has their own thoughts.
At this time, someone came to report that the Shangshu Mansion had heard about what happened tonight, and now Gao Minglan's younger brother, Lord Gao Wenqiao, was coming to take his sister back home.
Gao Wenqiao worked in the Ministry of Justice. Although he was only a vice minister, he was highly valued by his superiors.
He is also the person that Lu Tingen wants to win over.
Hearing that Gao Wenqiao was coming to pick someone up in person, Lu Tingen hurried out to greet him and said a lot of nice things. In the end, he let Gao Wenqiao take the person away.
The mansion didn't quiet down until midnight.
Ye Xinran and Leng Qingyu went back to their room to rest first.
I lay in bed and reviewed what happened today, and it still felt like a dream.
I always thought my mother was a very good-tempered person and a love-brained person.
I didn't expect that after his love-brain problem was cured, he would still be a master of house fighting.
You don't have to do anything yourself, just watch others fight among themselves.
"Mom, why didn't we go to that woman's house just now? She must have some of our things at home. We should have exposed her identity just now."
Leng Qingyu said: "It's useless. Lu Tingen will definitely not admit their relationship at this time. Hasn't he already found a scapegoat?
Besides, I don’t want the Lu family’s reputation to be ruined.
Lu Tingen is useless, but the title of the Marquisate is still useful."
"I didn't think enough." Ye Xinran said, "Mom, you are so good, please teach me later."
Leng Qingyu smiled, "What's so good about this? If you were by my side, I wouldn't let you go through this."
"Then I can't always be with my mother. There will always be a time when I have to be independent." Ye Xinran said smoothly.
Leng Qingyu turned to look at her after hearing this: "Why? Are you planning to remarry now?
If you let it go, I will find a suitable husband for you in the capital, and I will never let you suffer any injustice."
