Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 105 The concubine, abusing her power, gets beaten.

Subsequently,

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan then bid farewell to the county magistrate.

Lu Qingqing bowed slightly and said:

"Your Excellency, we'll head back now."

I won't disturb you while you're handling your business.

Lin Yunlan also cupped his hands in greeting:

"My lord, farewell."

The magistrate said with a smile

"Wait a moment, Mrs. Lu."

Then someone was sent to fetch a document and hand it to Lu Qingqing:

"Mrs. Lu,"

This is the document confirming Lin Feng's promotion to manager.

Please take this back for me.

Lu Qingqing accepted the document with both hands:

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely bring it."

"Okay, take care on your journey."

"That's what the magistrate said."

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan turned and left the county government office.

They drove away in an oxcart.

Lu Qingqing sat on the oxcart,

He happily took the token given to him by the prefect and looked at it.

Lin Yunlan reminded him:

"Qingqing, put the token away first."

We'll look at it slowly when we get home.

Now that we're in town, there are too many people and too much attention.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing immediately put the token into her spatial storage.

He said to Lin Yunlan:

"Yunlan, let's go buy some new quilts."

Lin Yunlan replied:

"Okay, whatever you say."

So the two of them drove the oxcart toward the shop that sold quilts.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan arrived at the shop selling quilts.

The shop was filled with a dazzling array of quilts of all colors.

Lu Qingqing carefully selected them.

Feel the fabric of this quilt.

Look at the pattern on that quilt.

She picked up a pink quilt embroidered with flowers.

He said to Lin Yunlan:

"Yunlan, what do you think of this bed?"

"The color looks nice, and the fabric feels comfortable."

Lin Yunlan stepped forward, took a look, and nodded:

"As long as you like it, Qingqing."

At this moment, a richly dressed noblewoman walked in.

At a glance, one could spot the handsome and dashing Lin Yunlan.

She glanced at Lu Qingqing beside her.

He said with a look of disgust:

"Oh, where did this country bumpkin come from?"

They don't even deserve to be here picking and choosing.

Lu Qingqing frowned and ignored her.

She continued choosing a quilt.

The noblewoman, however, persisted, saying:

"Look at your poor, shabby appearance."

What nice things can I afford?

"Put it down quickly, don't get the blankets in this shop dirty."

Lin Yunlan watched as Lu Qingqing was bullied.

He glared at the noblewoman and said:

You'd better watch your mouth!

The noblewoman never expected that the handsome young man would speak ill of her for the sake of this village woman.

They became even more arrogant:

"Young master, you appear to be quite handsome."

Handsome and dashing

Why are you siding with this country bumpkin?

Look at her poor, shabby appearance.

"Does he look like someone who can afford such a nice quilt?"

Lu Qingqing could no longer hold back.

He rushed up and slapped her twice.

The noblewoman screamed as she was hit.

"You...do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?"

Aren't you afraid I'll make you regret it?

Lu Qingqing said nonchalantly:

You deserved to be hit.

Who told you to keep your mouth shut?

"Slap yourself"

The wealthy woman covered her face and said fiercely:

"You little bitch, you just wait and see."

I'll have someone deal with you right now!

Lu Qingqing was fearless:

"Come and try if you dare!"

The noblewoman immediately sent her maid out.

It seems they really did go to call someone over.

People gathered around.

Someone whispered:

"This is terrible, she is Master Wang's concubine."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing

My heart skipped a beat, but I maintained a tough exterior:

Even if she was one of Master Wang's concubines

You can't be so unreasonable and bully people like this!

As she spoke, Lu Qingqing looked at a few more quilts:

"Yunlan, I think these beds are quite nice too."

"How about we buy a few more beds?"

Lin Yunlan smiled and said to Lu Qingqing:

"I'll do whatever you say. If you think it's good, we'll buy it."

The shopkeeper watched as Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan calmly selected quilts.

She kindly reminded him in a low voice:

"Young lady, why don't you leave first?"

You can buy a quilt anytime.

That concubine was no pushover.

She takes advantage of her favored status and frequently causes trouble for others.

Lu Qingqing raised her head.

He smiled gratefully at the shopkeeper.

Thank you for your kindness, shop owner.

But I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I leave?

Lin Yunlan also said:

"Yes, we are upright and honest, and we are not afraid of her."

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"You are still young and impetuous."

I didn't realize how serious this was.

Lu Qingqing held the quilt in her hand, her expression resolute:

"Shopkeeper, don't worry, if she really tries anything funny..."

Even Heaven cannot tolerate her.

Lin Yunlan echoed:

"that is,

We must not allow such people to become arrogant and conceited.

Seeing their determination, the shopkeeper said no more.

I was just silently worried for them.

In just a short while

Master Wang then arrived at the shop in a menacing manner with a group of servants.

Upon seeing this, the concubine immediately ran over, sobbing.

Concubine:

"Master, you've finally arrived!"

"Look at my face, that wicked woman beat me like this."

Wang Yuanwai:

"Stop crying and sobbing, what happened?"

Concubine:

"My lord, I've only come to buy quilts."

This woman then subjected me to all sorts of insults and abuse.

She even hit me! You must stand up for me!

Lu Qingqing snorted coldly:

"You're talking nonsense!"

It was clearly you who started the argument by speaking hurtfully and making things difficult for me in every way.

Lin Yunlan also said:

"We've been speaking politely all along, but you've gone too far."

Upon hearing the voices, Master Wang immediately looked to the side.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Qingqing, his expression faltered slightly.

He immediately stepped forward, his face beaming with smiles:

"Mrs. Lu, what are you doing here?"

Lu Qingqing:

"Master Wang,"

Today's events are not as you, my concubine, have described."

The concubine saw that her husband didn't immediately stand up for her.

She immediately started to act coquettishly, adding fuel to the fire by saying bad things about Lu Qingqing:

"My lord, you must do me justice!"

This country woman is extremely rude.

How dare you beat me in public without any reason!

Those around couldn't stand it anymore and began to speak up:

"This concubine is really good at talking nonsense and twisting the truth."

I was the one who bullied them first.

That's why he got beaten.

She even turned around and said that others were deliberately bullying her.

"That's right, it's clearly this concubine who's abusing her power."

They did nothing wrong.

"This concubine is usually arrogant and domineering."

This is something she brought on herself.

The concubine stomped her foot in anger:

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Sir, you mustn't listen to them."

Master Wang frowned, then turned and scolded his concubine:

"Shut up!"

I've always spoiled you.

"You're always causing me trouble."

The concubine stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Tears welled up in my eyes:

"Master, how dare you be so harsh on me!"

Master Wang ignored her.

Turning to Lu Qingqing, he said with a fawning smile:

"Mrs. Lu, I'm so sorry."

It's my fault for not managing this ignorant child properly.

Lu Qingqing:

"Master Wang, since it's all a misunderstanding..."

"Then so be it."

Wang Yuanwai:

"Thank you for your generosity, Madam Lu."

As he spoke, he turned to the shopkeeper and said:

"The cost of the quilt that Madam Lu bought is on my tab."

Lu Qingqing quickly said:

“Master Wang, this is not necessary. You need not spend any money.”

Master Wang insisted:

"Mrs. Lu, please consider this a small token of my apology."

Please don't refuse.

After saying this, he instructed his servant to pay the shopkeeper.

After paying, Master Wang instructed his servants:

"Come, move Madam Lu's quilt onto the oxcart."

Be careful.

The people around nodded in agreement.

Praising Master Wang for being reasonable,

The concubine saw this scene.

He was so angry he was practically fuming, yet he dared not utter a word of it.

He could only grit his teeth in frustration.

Lu Qingqing thanked Master Wang again.

Then he and Lin Yunlan drove the oxcart loaded with quilts home.

The concubine saw Lu Qingqing's back.

Full of resentment, he asked:

"master,

Why don't you hit them and instead buy them blankets?

Master Wang glared angrily and reprimanded:

"Of all people to mess with, you had to pick on her!"

She saved my son's life.

She also saved the life of the county magistrate's son.

Aren't you afraid of getting a beating?

The concubine's eyes widened, her face filled with terror:

"My lord, I had no idea!"

"What...what should we do?"

Master Wang snorted coldly:

"You'd better behave yourself from now on."

Stop causing trouble everywhere!

The concubine nodded meekly.

"I understand, my lord, I will never dare to do it again."

Master Wang flicked his sleeves, turned and left.

The concubine was left behind, still shaken.
