Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 329: His wife bullied my wife today

Qian Xing also realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly corrected him: "I didn't say I wanted to divorce you. What I said was that I could marry an equal wife or reduce you to a concubine!"

Mrs. Qian's natal family's background is quite strong. When Qian Xing was just a seventh-grade county magistrate, his wife's natal family helped a lot, so even if she made a big mistake, Qian Xing would not dare to divorce his wife. However, if she is charged with a crime, it is absolutely fine for her to marry someone else and help manage the general affairs of the house.

He originally thought that his wife would accept it by saying this, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the face.

Mrs. Qian looked at him fiercely and cursed: "Qian Xing, you are a heartless and heartless man! You can sit in this position, but without the help of my mother-in-law, who are you! You actually want to demote me to a wife. Concubine, you are dreaming!"

Delegating her to a concubine would be more humiliating than divorcing her directly, which she never expected.

She knew that she had done something stupid today, but it was not a big deal. She could find a chance to sincerely apologize and that would be it. More importantly, Qian Xing and Lu Baichuan did not have much interaction. Even if there was a stalemate, they would have less contact in the future, but he actually took the opportunity to say that he wanted to marry an equal wife.

This was obviously planned in advance and was just revealed through this incident. In other words, he had even found the person to replace her, right?
"I'm telling you, you'd better deal with that vixen. If you don't let me, I will never make it easier for you! I can help you sit in this position, and I can also make you fall from this position! You can try it!"

After saying that, she turned around and left. The guilt in her heart was gone. Now that she couldn't even manage her marriage well, how could she have the time to care whether He Jiuniang was still angry or not?

Only then did Qian Xing realize that he had been a little hasty in saying this.

He has indeed fallen in love with a pretty girl recently. She has a good family background. The most important thing is that the girl is good-looking and gentle, which is his type.

I originally wanted to find an opportunity to mention it to my wife, but I didn't expect that I was too impulsive and said it out today, and the matter basically came to nothing.

Because at present, he is still bound by his father-in-law's family. If he forcibly marries an equal wife, the matter will be made big by his father-in-law's family, which will really make things ugly.

He is now the prefect, and if he wants to be promoted in the future, he cannot make too much trouble with the Yue family.

Thinking of this, he sighed quietly, feeling that he might have to give up love for his career.

On the other side, when Lu Baichuan arrived at Huoyunsi Yamen, the first thing he did was to go to Qin Jian and talk about the child kidnapping case.

"Didn't I say that this matter has been happening for so long? We have been helping the government handle it, haven't we? Why did you mention it all of a sudden?"

Qin Jian glared at him helplessly, feeling that it was pointless for this man to bring up old matters again.

Lu Baichuan looked at him calmly and said: "Qian Xing has always wanted us to help him completely take over this matter. Originally, I thought that we were already investigating the people behind this matter, so it would be okay if we took it over, but his wife He bullied my wife today, so he should handle this hot potato by himself."

"What? Did Mrs. Qian bully my sister-in-law...siblings?"

He was always sarcastic when he opened his mouth. He had been calling He Jiuniang sister-in-law before, but now that he knew He Jiuniang was his brother's wife, he changed his name to younger brother and sister-in-law.

"This is not okay. My sister-in-law brings us food every day. She is the living Bodhisattva of our Huoyun Division! No one can bully our living Bodhisattva, right? Then our Huoyun Division must not be looked down upon by others, saying that we can't even protect a woman. Can’t live?”

"What's going on with Mrs. Qian? Her younger siblings don't want her to mess with her, but she's so stuffed that she's causing trouble for her younger siblings?"

"No, we can't just let this matter go. I'm going to ask Qian Xing how he wants to handle this matter!"

Qin Jian was mumbling about going out, but Lu Baichuan grabbed him and said, "It's not necessary, just don't take over that case."

The prefect doesn't have much interaction with them, so even a warning would be of no use. This case is difficult enough. If he doesn't handle it well, his rating this year will be affected.

If he can't manage his own woman well, then let him pay the price in the officialdom. "Okay, it's up to you."

Qin Jian readily agreed, no matter what, it was fine, but bullying his younger siblings was really unacceptable!

Many people think that he is interested in He Jiuniang, and even the brothers around him are worried that he will be sad if he knows about the relationship between He Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan. In fact, there is no need at all.

He had always only had feelings for He Jiuniang as a life-saving favor and as an ordinary friend. Even knowing that she was his brother's wife, he was sincerely happy for her.

She is no longer a young widow who lost her husband at a young age, but has a husband, family and friends, and is living a better life than anyone else.

He is the person who most wants to see He Jiuniang live a good life. Not even a few days after these good days, someone is bullying his younger siblings. He will never allow such a thing to happen.

Lu Baichuan curled his lips, called one of his men, and ordered: "Go and call Li Yong to see me."

The men responded and left. Qin Jian grasped the information in his words and asked, "What are you looking for Li Yong for? Isn't it his wife who also bullied his younger siblings?"

Lu Baichuan nodded and said, "The one from the Li Yong family was the one who started the trouble."

"Oh, it seems that Li Yong is quite high-profile, otherwise his wife would not dare to be so arrogant."

"Ah."

Lu Baichuan sat down, raised the tea cup in his hand, blew on it, and took a sip.

Although his wife has repeatedly told him not to interfere in this matter, as a man, if he can't handle this kind of thing well and makes his wife suffer, then he has been working hard outside all these years. Climb up, for what?
Qin Jian also sat down seriously. Whatever he said today, he had to show off to his younger siblings.

After a while, Li Yong came over, saw Qin Jian and Lu Baichuan, saluted with a smile, and asked: "What important matters did the two adults call the general to come over?"

Lu Baichuan nodded, but asked leisurely: "Has General Li gone home for dinner?"

Li Yong couldn't figure out why Lu Baichuan suddenly asked this question. He thought his boss was concerned about his subordinate's life, so he answered honestly: "I came here after I went back."

Now that she has gone back, she can still smile like this when facing him, which means she doesn't know about today's banquet.

"Ah."

Lu Baichuan nodded and said nothing more.

Li Yong was a little confused about Lu Baichuan's attitude. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Jian next to him asked, "Is General Li a native of Jingzhou?"

"Yes, I went to the border to stay for a few years when I was young. Later, thanks to His Highness' concern, I allowed the general to stay in Jingzhou."

Li Yong continued to answer honestly, but still couldn't figure out the intentions of these two people.

Qin Jian nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder..."
