Immediately, an old man dressed as a butler came forward, "I am the old butler of the Lu Family. What orders do you have for me, Thirteenth Madam?"
"Let me make it clear first. I will not enter this door."
Tong Meng smiled faintly. Her words immediately caused an uproar!
The Lu Family's wedding had caused a huge uproar. At the last moment, the bride was unwilling to enter the door. This scene made everyone feel that it was against the heavens.
"Meng 'er, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Madam Tong was really shocked. She was already in front of the door, yet she didn't enter. Wasn't she deliberately looking for trouble? The Lu Family was the real local tyrant in this small town. They could cover the sky with one hand. Tong Meng was courting death!
Tong Meng didn't speak. She just patted the back of her adoptive mother's hand. Her crystal-like eyes stared at the old butler without saying a word.
The old butler's expression changed abruptly, "Little Tong, do you know what you are saying? This marriage was personally arranged by your mother. This marriage has already been signed, the contract has been signed, and the marriage has been reported to the government. How can you refuse? "
"The reason I've come here today is to settle this grudge." Tong Meng's expression was normal, "I am already a disciple of Biquan Xianzong. I am a disciple of a sect and am not bound by the secular world's laws. I know that when my mother signed the contract with you, she was indebted to the Lu Family. I will definitely not marry this person. I will compensate you a hundred times the amount of silver. "
Once Tong Meng's voice fell, everyone was shocked. No one thought that she actually had this idea. She wanted to redeem herself personally!
This kind of situation was not uncommon in the past. Some servants and maidservants were forced to sell themselves to the Lu Family because they lived in poverty. If they had some fortuitous encounter in the future, they could also redeem themselves. The Lu Family generally agreed to this kind of situation. After all, this family was big and had a lot of businesses. A few more servants and a few fewer servants were not a big deal at all.
However, today's matter was no small matter. The Lu Family's Second Master was determined to get this girl. Just as the old butler said, it was not up to Tong Meng to make the decision.
The old butler's face was as cold as ice. He reprimanded sternly, "How dare you! The Thirteenth Mistress of the Lu Family is an honorable and honorable title. You, a lowly commoner, have obtained such a great opportunity and yet you don't know how to cherish it. You still want to redeem yourself? Come in now, or you will be punished according to the family rules! "
When she saw this scene, her adoptive mother instantly burst into tears. She had lived for most of her life, so how could she not see through Tong Meng's thoughts? If she had no other choice, how could a girl in her prime be willing to marry a hedonistic son of a wealthy family?
The title of the thirteenth wife of the second master of the Lu family sounded very impressive, but in fact, she had no status at all. She was just a plaything.
But now that things had come to this, it was too late to say anything. The Lu family was powerful and had military power in their hands. How could a commoner resist?
When the old man thought of this, he felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart. He was so sad that tears flowed down his face.
"Mother, don't cry and don't be afraid. I will solve it."
Tong Meng sighed and hugged her adoptive mother. Looking at the old housekeeper's aggressive face, her face gradually turned cold. "I personally want to solve this matter. It seems that the Lu family can't be reasoned with."
"The one who can't be reasoned with is you!"
A shrill voice came from the Lu family's front door. In the next moment, a slightly plump man in purple clothes walked out.
This man looked to be in his thirties. His face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and his gaze was unfocused. With one look, one could tell that he had indulged too much in wine and women and had been hollowed out. When he saw Tong Meng, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of lust.
"Little girl, since you're sitting in my sedan, you can't resist."
"Second master!"
Seeing the man appear, the old housekeeper hurriedly bowed and retreated to the side.
The corner of Tong Meng's mouth slightly furrowed. This person's actions made her very uncomfortable. She took out a perfectly round spirit stone from her bosom. "This is a spirit stone from an immortal dao sect. One spirit stone is worth a total of 28 gold taels. When Mother signed the contract with you, she took a total of three taels and nine silver pieces and seventy-six copper coins from you. Now, I'll give you 28 taels of gold and this matter will end here. "
"I want the money, I also want you. Since you're already mine, your money is naturally mine." Second young master Lu chuckled.
"Impudent!" Tong Meng's eyes flashed with a trace of anger.
"Wait a moment, I'll get you on the bed and be even more impudent." Second young master Lu's expression darkened. "Guards! Capture this mother and daughter who don't know what's good for them! You refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. There is a contract here, yet you still want to break the engagement. Moreover, you even stole my precious spirit stones to redeem yourself. Take them all down. I want to properly taste the difference between this fairy who cultivates the Dao of Immortality and the women of the secular world! "
When Second young master Lu spoke, Madam Tong immediately became anxious. Redeeming themselves was a small matter, but framing them was a big matter. If her daughter stole the Lu family's spirit stones, even after the marriage, she and her daughter would still be sent to the officials.
Immediately, pairs of armored soldiers continuously walked out of the mansion. They held iron spears in their hands and surrounded Tong Meng. Seeing this scene, the adoptive mother's legs went soft and nearly collapsed on the ground in fright.
Tong Meng hurriedly lowered her body and helped her adoptive mother up. She sighed lightly. At this stage, she still had to make a move.
But in the next moment, when she wanted to circulate her spirit energy, her expression suddenly changed and instantly became as pale as snow. Only to see that the originally vast and mighty spirit energy current in her dantian's Qi Sea was now like pieces of hard divine iron condensed together. There was simply no way to circulate it!
She couldn't even unleash the slightest bit of her cultivation!
How could it be like this?
Tong Meng's calm face finally had a hint of shock. At this moment, all her reliance came from her cultivation at the ninth level of the Spirit Water Level. But at this critical juncture, her tyrannical spirit energy actually completely froze and she could not move at all. How could she not be shocked?!
"Hahaha... Have you experienced it? How's the taste of this' Spirit Scattering Mystic Incense 'that I spent a high price to get?"
Looking at Tong Meng's pale face, Second Young Master Lu instantly burst into laughter with a smug look.
Ever since he knew that Tong Meng had returned from cultivation, he specially made preparations to guard against this little fairy making things difficult at the critical juncture. This time, he finally received a miraculous effect.
"Spirit Scattering Mystic Incense!"
Hearing this name, Tong Meng's expression instantly changed.
