Lord Meng returned first.
He didn't enter the house. After all, it was his daughter - in - law's residence, and he needed to avoid suspicion. So he stood at the door and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? Making such a racket. It's a disgrace!"
If his daughter - in - law weren't from the Lin family and he weren't worried that the mother - in - law and daughter - in - law relationship would affect the relationship between the two families, he wouldn't have come back at all.
Yi Qing thought to herself that he was really good at pretending. Now he was pretending to avoid suspicion.
Madam Meng suddenly rushed out of the door and shouted at Lord Meng, "It's all your fault!"
She was hysterical and didn't care that there were countless servants around.
Lord Meng had never been treated like this before. He wasn't a good - tempered man either. He raised his hand, wanting to hit Madam Meng, but managed to hold back. He roared, "All of you, get out!"
After all the servants in the yard had left, Lord Meng said in an angry voice, "Are you crazy? Fighting with your daughter - in - law. Do you think that when the news spreads, people will only blame her?"
These words were like a stab in the heart to Madam Meng.
New and old grudges welled up in her heart. Madam Meng rushed forward and scratched Lord Meng's face. "No one will live today. I'll fight you to the death!"
Her son had been seduced by that slut named Liu and had drifted away from her. Her husband doted on his concubine and humiliated his wife, and even did this immoral thing. What hope did she have left?
It was better for everyone to die together.
Actually, Madam Meng had vaguely sensed something before - mainly from Lin's attitude. But she didn't dare to think deeply about it. After all, this matter was really too shocking.
But today, Lin's fearless look and thoughtful tone made her almost confirm the truth.
Madam Meng cried and scolded, "Aren't you ashamed? I'm embarrassed for you!"
Lord Meng was so angry that he slapped Madam Meng hard, knocking her to the ground. He roared, "You're getting more and more unreasonable as you get older. This family should have stopped letting you manage it long ago!"
"Do you let me manage it now?" Madam Meng covered her face. The hatred in her eyes almost devoured Lord Meng. "Let that slut inside, your mistress, manage the family!"
Lord Meng was stunned when he heard this. He said in disbelief, "What, what did you say?"
Yi Qing was peeping out through the gap in the curtain. Seeing Lord Meng's expression, she was also stunned.
Lord Meng's current expression was one of indignation at being wronged. Had she guessed wrong? But from Lin's various reactions, including Madam Meng's out - of - control behavior, she couldn't think of any other explanation.
Madam Meng roared, "You dared to do such an immoral thing. Are you still afraid to admit it?"
Lord Meng was extremely angry. He pointed at her with a trembling finger and said, "Crazy, crazy. I'll write the divorce letter right now. Let your family come and take you away!"
Madam Meng was a natural at making a scene. She was also completely hopeless. So she rolled on the ground and howled, "Ancestors of the Meng family, open your eyes and take a look! Why don't you send down a thunderbolt to strike this immoral brute to death! He even had an affair with his own daughter - in - law!"
Lord Meng was so angry that he staggered and almost fainted.
Yi Qing frowned even tighter when she saw this situation.
She looked back at Lin lying on the bed. The latter looked calm and was not affected at all.
Yi Qing walked over quietly and whispered to her, "Are you sure it's Lord Meng? It seems to me that things are not as simple as they seem."
If things were really as Lin had implied, Lord Meng's first reaction after coming back should have been to cover it up, instead of making such a scene in the yard with Madam Meng.
Lin was stunned, then snorted, "Who do you think you are to question me?"
Yi Qing gave her a deep look and didn't say anything else.
Xue Miao'er pulled her and said, "Don't bother with her! Let her do whatever she wants. It has nothing to do with us."
Yi Qing sighed in her heart. You naive girl, how could it have nothing to do with us? I originally wanted to use Lin.
Now the situation was so complicated that she couldn't even figure out which way it was going to develop.
Just as the two people in the yard were in the middle of a fierce fight, Meng Qinghai rushed back in a hurry.
Seeing Madam Meng lying on the ground howling and Lord Meng with an ashen face, kicking at Madam Meng, he almost thought he was dreaming.
His parents were actually fighting physically?
Wasn't this something only the lowest - class and most vulgar couples would do?
He rushed forward quickly to stop Lord Meng and bent down to help Madam Meng up. He said, "Father, Mother, what on earth happened!"
Only then did he realize belatedly that this was his yard!
"Where's Lin?" Meng Qinghai roared, "Where is she?"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned this. As soon as he did, Madam Meng looked as if she wanted to eat someone. She pointed at Lord Meng and said, "Your father, that brute, did something immoral with the woman inside!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Lord Meng was so angry that he swore. "Your mother has gone crazy. Why don't you lock her up!"
Although Meng Qinghai was on Madam Meng's side, he thought that Madam Meng was being too paranoid when he heard this.
He frowned and advised, "Mother, you can't talk nonsense like this! We can discuss things slowly. Any misunderstandings can be cleared up."
Lin didn't know when she came out. She leaned against the door and looked at Lord Meng. "I'm pregnant. It's been more than a month."
Because of her calm demeanor and her direct gaze at Lord Meng, Meng Qinghai, who saw all this, was stunned. Then his eyes wavered between the two of them in disbelief.
Xue Miao'er was completely confused. She mumbled, "I don't understand. Yi Qing, tell me, what's going on?"
Yi Qing said, "Either Lord Meng is really good at acting, or someone is muddying the waters."
"Ah?"
"Just listen. Enjoy the show and don't interrupt."
Sure enough, Lord Meng was also very surprised. He met Lin's gaze and roared, "What, what do you mean! Are you trying to pour dirt on me and turn the family upside down?"
Who wouldn't be angry if they were suddenly splashed with such dirt?
If this got out, how could he be an official in the future?
Lin stroked her belly and said, "At this point, if you don't admit it, I have no choice but to die with the child in my belly."
Lord Meng roared, "You'd better explain it clearly today! Otherwise, I'll let Qinghai divorce you!"
Lin's smile was sad. "If you say so, don't blame me for turning against you."
After saying that, she went into the house, rummaged around. A moment later, she came out holding a pile of things and threw them directly into the yard.
Because she had used too much strength, she probably felt uncomfortable. She leaned against the door frame and gasped for breath.
"Look, look. Which of these things isn't yours?"
Lord Meng saw his personal clothes, handkerchiefs, and the antiques from his study. He stood there, stunned and speechless.
And Madam Meng, stimulated by this, was about to rush forward and tear him apart.
