Facing Zhu Zanxun's question, Zhu Izhi only whispered, "I didn't say you were not qualified to know this. If you want to know what happened, you can come to me directly!"
"But why are you fighting with your second brother?"
Facing Zhu Izhi's question, Zhu Zanxun simply said, "Father, I didn't mean to fight with him. You should ask him personally what he said!"
After saying this, Zhu Zanxun just stared at Zhu Yuewu angrily.
Although Zhu Izhi didn't understand what happened, he still turned to look at Zhu Yuewu, "Yuewu, tell me what's going on?"
Facing his own inquiry, Zhu Yuewu only whispered, "My son doesn't understand what he said. My son was just walking in front with his slaves. Who knew that the elder brother came up and punched me! I didn't even know." what happened!"
Seeing that Zhu Yuewu did not tell the truth, Zhu Zanxun said coldly, "Zhu Yuewu, you don't have to pretend to be innocent. You don't even have the guts to tell your father what you said." Last time?"
Facing Zhu Zanxun's questioning, Zhu Yuewu really didn't have the courage.
After a long time, Zhu Yuewu whispered, "Brother, I didn't say anything. Did you hear it wrong?"
Zhu Zanxun saw that Zhu Yuewu refused to tell the truth, so he repeated the sentence again, "You said that you used your father to frame me, so that Huiniang was arrested as a traitor. You also said that Lord Lu was also regarded as an enemy by you. You He also said it depends on how I respond this time! If you hadn't said such despicable words to your servants, how could I have done anything to you?"
Facing Zhu Zanxun's question, Zhu Yuewu became a little panicked, "Brother, I really never said such a thing. Did you hear it wrong?"
After speaking, he even only asked the servant beside him.
The servant was from Zhu Yuewu, so naturally he only cooperated and acted carelessly.
"Second Young Master has never said anything like this. Eldest Young Master, you really heard wrong!"
"Did I hear wrongly? What a joke! I don't even know where Huiniang is now! Let alone what happened to Huiniang. I only heard from people in my own courtyard that Huiniang was raped by Aunt Li in her father's courtyard in the afternoon. I was called away and didn’t come back until late. If not, I wouldn’t have come here to look for you! If I hadn’t met you, my second brother, I definitely wouldn’t have known what kind of disaster Hui Niang had suffered!”
In fact, when he heard Zhu Zanxun's clear words, Zhu Izhi knew that someone was lying.
Therefore, at the moment, he just turned his attention to Zhu Yuewu.
Zhu Yuewu still wanted to defend himself.
However, Zhu Izhi had already spoken first.
"Is what your elder brother said true?" Zhu Izhi seemed to be asking Zhu Yuewu, but the expression on his face at this moment clearly showed that he had taken the matter seriously.
Zhu Yuewu swallowed and said, "Father, how could I say such a thing? Brother is clearly wronging me!"
"I'm wronging you? If you hadn't said this yourself, how would I have known this? I was out all afternoon today. If the people from Huiniang's Courtyard hadn't come to see me in the evening, I wouldn't have known that Huiniang was not in the courtyard!" Zhu Zanxun just continued to ask questions.
Facing his elder brother's questioning, Zhu Yuewu was at a loss at the moment.
Firstly, he did say this, and secondly, it was purely an accident that Zhu Zanxun heard this. He was caught off guard by Zhu Zanxun, and most importantly, he had not thought about what to say at all. , and Zhu Zanxun’s reasoning with actions is obviously more convincing to others.
Therefore, the only thing he could do at the moment was to repeat over and over again, "Brother, why are you so aggressive? I never said these words at all. Even if you want Huiniang to come out, there is no need to frame me like this! Then Hui If mother is not a traitor, then why would her secret guard collude with Li Yunlan?"
However, after hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, Zhu Izhi said directly, "Shut up!"
After successfully shutting up Zhu Yuewu, Zhu Izhi just said to Zhu Yuewu, "It's impossible for your elder brother to frame you. He's not the type to hit people without any reason.
I know your character, so this must be your fault. Don't be dissatisfied. If I really want to pursue it, don't think that you will die without proof! "
"Okay, you can go back and think about it for a few days." After saying this, Zhu Yuezhi just added to Zhu Yuewu, "You can go back."
Zhu Yuewu was obviously not convinced, and he wanted to say more, but Zhu Iizhi directly told Zhu Yuewu to shut up. And he only let others take Zhu Yuewu away. ap.
Zhu Yuewu couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists again.
He was such a good father, but he never showed any mercy to himself in his words and deeds. He was like this before, and he is even more like this now.
Thinking of this, he felt very secretly resentful.
Even though it was his fault, he still put this hatred on his father's head. He only thought to himself that if he waits until the future, he will definitely make all those who bullied him pay. cost.
He only saw hatred, greed and sin in his eyes at this moment, so even though his father was already very partial to him, he still felt that his father was sorry for him.
Even if his eldest brother didn't say a word to wrong him, but he was caught, he would not look for the reason from himself, nor would he think that he had done something wrong. He just wanted to point out his mistake. The eldest brother who caught him was his enemy.
It was just bad luck that he was caught by him, and his father was not being kind to him if he didn't help him.
However, although he was thinking this in his mind, he did not dare to express any emotion on his lips.
Soon Zhu Yuewu was taken down.
Seeing that his father still believed in him, Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at his father and said, "Dad, you must have seen it too, right? Huiniang and I were framed. Dad, I don’t want to say anything else, I just ask you to release Huiniang so that our marriage can go ahead.”
However, when faced with his son's request, Zhu Iuzhi directly refused and said, "I can't possibly agree to this."
After hearing what his father said, Zhu Zanxun immediately asked, "Father, why is this happening? Don't you already know that this is just a misunderstanding?"
Faced with Zhu Zanxun's question, Zhu Izhi only said in a low voice, "You and your second brother may have some misunderstandings, but it is not necessarily a misunderstanding about the Lu family. I don't agree with your second brother either." You know his personality, but he just exaggerates a bit. You can’t listen to everything he says, but you can’t completely deny it either.”
"Besides, it's groundless. Lu Fanghui has already admitted the secret guard thing, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Don't worry, I will find another good marriage for you." Zhu Ibis only said lowly He said to Zhu Zanxun.
obviously. At this moment, he just wanted to send his son away with these few words.
However, how could Zhu Zanxun be so easily dismissed?
"Father, do you know my second brother? Then I can also say that I know Fang Hui. How could Hui Niang be against you? If she is against you, why would she come here? If Lord Lu is your enemy, Why does he need to come here? Is he just waiting to come here and throw himself into a trap?"
However, in the face of Zhu Zanxun's inquiry, this time, Zhu Izhi did not answer directly.
"Okay, don't ask so many questions. I will naturally have my own methods for your second brother's matter, and I will also investigate Huiniang's matter. So before that, I will tell the public about your relationship with Huiniang. The wedding will be postponed for a few days. As for your Hui Niang, don’t worry. I won’t let her go to the water prison immediately. I will let her live in a room. When the truth comes out, I will decide how to deal with her. "
After hearing his father's words, Zhu Zanxun felt that his whole heart sank to the ground.
He knew that his father had made up his mind when he said this, and no matter how many words he said at the moment, he could not change his attitude.
Zhu Zanxun could only do the next best thing. He continued to ask, "Father, you can investigate Huiniang. If she is innocent, she will no longer need to be slandered. It's just that my son wants to ask you for two things. I hope my father will do it." Promise, son."
Zhu Iuzhi originally counted on his son to cooperate with him, so now
Regarding Zhu Zanxun's proposal, he did not reject it directly. He just said in a calm voice, "Tell me what you want!"
Facing his father's words, Zhu Zanxun couldn't help but whisper, "When my son wants to ask his father to investigate Huiniang's matter, can he not let his second brother intervene in the investigation? Otherwise, I'm afraid he has selfish motives." , On the contrary, it is unfair to the investigation results and affects the investigation results."
Faced with Zhu Zanxun's plea, Zhu Izhi naturally just nodded, "Don't worry, even if you don't tell me about this matter, I won't use him to investigate anymore. He does have some prejudices against you. Maybe It does affect the results.”
Then Zhu Izhi only softened his tone and whispered to Zhu Zanxun, "Zanxun, my father is actually not that kind of heartless person. I know that you are affectionate and righteous to Huiniang. If she is really not an enemy, , I will naturally not make a move against her, and I will make your marriage come true, but if she is really our enemy, I hope that you will not get caught up in the affair of your children at this time."
When Zhu Zanxun heard this, he immediately replied, "If the result is fair and proves that Hui Niang is a traitor, then of course I will listen to my father in everything."
With Zhu Zanxun's words, Zhu Iizhi couldn't help but say "Okay."
Zhu Zanxun then said to his father, "Dad, who are you going to send to investigate this matter?"
Of course, Zhu Izhi already had the result in his mind. The investigation into this matter was just to eliminate hidden dangers, not to make enemies. Even Zhu Izhi actually hoped that Lu Zhizhang would not be his enemy.
Therefore, Crested Ibis is actually eager to get the truth more than anyone else.
Therefore, he actually thought carefully about the candidates to investigate this matter.
