The Lu family in Qiantang is a wealthy local family with businesses in all walks of life. This year, they took advantage of the turmoil to become the richest man in the local area, and they were in the limelight for a while.
The head of the family, Lu Zhang, was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. He not only built this industry from scratch, but the legitimate sons in the family were also very advanced. Especially the youngest son Lu Langchen, who was selected as a scholar at the age of only twelve and has a bright future.
The eldest son Lu Shengming is also a good businessman and manages the family business in an orderly manner. The only drawback is that he is over thirty years old and his deceased wife did not leave a single heir.
In short, Lu Zhang was very popular in Qiantang. The only person who repeatedly humiliated him was his sixth son, Lu Mingyu. This is a well-known dandy in Qiantang. He plays prostitutes, gambles, drinks and has fun. This is what happens every day.
No, today Lu Mingyu spent a lot of money in Yunxiaofang again. He wanted to gamble with the lady Yunxi, and lost three thousand taels of silver, which caused a sigh of relief.
Madam Yun Xi looked across the table at Lu Mingyu, who was scratching his head and looking very regretful, and smiled: "Sixth Young Master, do you want to continue? All the chips on the table are mine. If the Young Master still loses the next game, but I’m going to walk out of my Yunxiaofang gate naked!”
With bright eyes, white teeth, and charming eyes, even if this beauty just touches a hair, it is enough to make the men watching in the audience swallow their saliva.
Lu Mingyu, on the other hand, completely ignored the ogling beauty across from him and stared at the cards on the table. Even though he had lost so far, he was not convinced at all, and he put all his energy into opening the cards.
Seeing that her amorous feelings could not disturb Lu Mingyu, Madam Yunxi just stiffened her lips and then returned to her original state.
Lu Mingyu breathed heavily and pressed the sign with both hands: "One decision determines the outcome, open!"
The wooden sign was raised high and slapped down hard. Before it settled down, Lu Mingyu was heard shouting: "Big! I won!"
Only then did Madam Yun Xi react. She stared blankly at the handsome man in front of her. She came back to her senses in a moment and stood tall: "Congratulations, Young Master Six."
God knows how much pressure Lu Mingyu was under. If he lost again, he would have to give away a full ten thousand taels, which would be his expenses for two months! He doesn't want to live eating dirt.
Fortunately, fortunately, it seems that good things have happened one after another recently!
Being flattered by the compliments from the people around him, Lu Mingyu was in high spirits and greedily took the chips on the table into his arms.
"Young Master is very happy today. Everyone here will drink a pot of Yun Chun Zui!" Lu Mingyu didn't care how much money he had to spend, he only knew that he got back what he wanted today!
The audience was filled with words of thanks and praise, which made him feel relaxed and proud.
Suddenly a boy came out from the corner and whispered something all the way, which made Lu Mingyu's smile freeze in place.
"Shitou, did you hear that right? The old man found me a concubine?" Lu Mingyu dug his ears and couldn't believe it. You must know that he already had seven or eight concubines in his backyard. The old man had even fought with him because of this matter. We had an argument, but you are so kind today?
He doesn't believe it!
"It's true. Master, please go back quickly!" Shitou, a big piece of wood, rarely showed a nervous look, and he lowered his voice specially.
Lu Mingyu narrowed his eyes. Although he still couldn't believe it, he realized in his heart that it might be true. That bad old man has changed his gender? This is really going to change!
At this time, in a private room in the Tomorrow Courtyard of the Sixth Young Master of the Lu Mansion, Lin Wanyu, wearing white clothes and a white skirt, was sitting dully in the middle of the room.
Her face was pale, her eyes were half-closed, her lips were dry and peeling, and she hung on the chair like a soulless rag doll.
The sun shone through the screened window with a ray of light, but it could not warm her heart that was so cold that it turned to ice.
She couldn't understand, since she had already wiped out her entire Lin family and could easily let her die on the road to exile, why would she save her life now? Now that she was saved, why did she have to be humiliated like this and let her marry a dandy as a concubine?
Obviously all the Lin family's tragedies were caused by the Zhao family, and the unreasonable disaster was Zhao Changsu's last resort to escape and save his life. And she, a woman with no power to tie a chicken, was like a duckweed in this world, so it was better to let her Just go with the wind.
However, Jiangnan is too far away from Shengjing. If she dies, can her soul float back to see her father and brother?
If not, then wouldn’t she be a lonely ghost with nowhere to live after her death? Thinking of this, a sense of sadness surged into her heart again. Lin Wanyu trembled slightly with her hands, and her stiff eyes slowly turned to observe the surrounding environment.
All the sharp things had been taken away by Yu Yan, and there was nothing that could be taken advantage of. Now everything in this house looked depressed and simple, which was very different from the warm and exquisite boudoir she once had.
Is this where she will be for the rest of her life?
No!
Along the way south, Lin Wanyu not only wanted to die, but also stabbed Yuyan with sharp weapons many times in an attempt to escape, but failed. In the end, she was punished by Yuyan and refused to eat.
Without food, there is no strength. Without strength, not to mention stabbing Yuyan, even running is impossible. In such a situation, what is the point of living?
After a few days of drinking less and eating less, and feeling disheartened, by the time she arrived at the Lu family in Qiantang, Lin Yunyu had lost a lot of weight, and now she looked like a ghost.
Therefore, when Lu Mingyu pushed open the door with a strong palm, the first thing he saw was Lin Wanyu's majestic appearance, and he immediately turned around and ran away with a scream.
"Ghost!"
"Damn old man, I knew you wouldn't be so kind to me, yet you brought a ghost lady to scare me!"
Lu Mingyu rushed into Lu Zhang's Luming Garden, swearing all the way, kicked open the door, and overturned the table where his stepmother Lin Jinlan and Lu Zhang were eating in front of them!
Lu Zhang was so angry that he called him "a treasonous son, a treasonous son", while Lin Jinlan squatted aside to help Lu Zhang calm down, and said: "Xiao Liu is like this. He is used to being arrogant. Don't you know better? Calm down. calm down."
After hearing this, Lu Zhang struggled to stand up with the support of Lin Jinlan and Manager Li. Looking at the domineering son in front of him, his beard was so angry that it almost blew to the sky!
"Rebellious son"......
Just as Lu Zhang started to start, Lu Mingyu interrupted and struck preemptively: "Old man, you sent me a female ghost as a concubine. Do you want to curse me to die early? So that you can go down to see your mother as soon as possible? If so, why don't you do it right now? I'm so glad I came!"
Female ghost? ?
Lu Zhang was about to refute, but then he remembered that this was indeed the case.
The girl was sent by the Lu family in Shengjing, and she was named as a concubine to the Sixth Young Master. When he thought about it, the traitor had countless concubines in the backyard, so there was no harm in inserting one into her.
It’s just that I don’t know the origin of this woman. I wonder if she will offend someone in the capital? After all, when there is a change of dynasty, we cannot let down our guard against any small disturbances.
At least Xiaoliu couldn't be disgusted with her right now.
"Haha." Lu Zhang secretly calmed down his mind, then stood up with Lin Jinlan's help and sat firmly on the chair.
Seeing that the master did not quarrel with Xiao Liu as usual, Lin Jinlan looked confused and couldn't help but remind her: "Master, Xiao Liu definitely didn't mean it..."
Normally, when Lu Zhang heard this, he would immediately retort, "He did it on purpose, to make me angry to death!"
But today Lu Zhang only remained silent for a moment, suppressing his emotions, and said in a calm tone: "Well, I did give that woman to you. Seeing her beauty, I think you will like her, but she has a rough life and is ill, so it seems It's relatively weak, just take it back and take care of it."
? ?
"Master..." Lin Jinlan didn't believe in evil. In her impression, Lu Zhang had never spoken so kindly to Xiaoliu. Could it be because of that woman?
Lu Mingyu also discovered this. He glanced at Lu Zhang quietly, and then confirmed again: "That female ghost... did the woman really give it to me?"
"Of course." Lu Zhang complied and added, "If you really don't like her, don't treat her badly. Just keep her in the backyard."
dislike?
Don't treat me poorly?
Keep it?
Lu Mingyu sneered: "Are you still so kind-hearted? Huh, whoever wants that female ghost wants it, I'll go back and drive her out right away!" He turned around and left.
"Stop!" Lu Zhang thought that Xiao Liu would not like his arrangement, and he also knew that he would not be so obedient, but he did not expect that this traitor would be so mean to him?
"What are you doing!" Not to be outdone, Lu Mingyu shouted louder than Lu Zhang.
Lu Zhang's head was buzzing with anger, but when he thought of the current changes in Shengjing, his Lu family was just a mere businessman, and he had just taken the position of the richest man in Qiantang. He must not make mistakes and offend the people he shouldn't offend, but this little Six is really naughty...
"That woman, you can do whatever you want. If you don't kick her out, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Hmph, you bad old man, if you have any tricks, just use them!"
"You!" Lu Zhang knew how angry this kid Lu Mingyu was. For so many years, nothing could suppress him, except...
"If you don't drive that woman out, I will also remove your mother's tablet from the ancestral hall!"
Lu Zhang knew that Xiao Liu had been miserable for several years and didn't care about anything. Only his wife Lin Haitang, Xiao Liu's biological mother, who had passed away for several years, was Xiao Liu's only weakness.
Sure enough, when Lu Mingyu heard this, his eyes widened, his fists were clenched tightly, and he gritted his teeth: "This is what you said!" After saying that, he punched the beam next to him and looked at Lu Zhang and him fiercely. Lin Jinlan, who was frail beside her, then walked away.
Everyone knew that Lu Mingyu had a master who taught Kung Fu in recent years, but they only thought it was about embroidering the legs with fists. Unexpectedly, the punch caused a crack in the pillar!
"Oh, this beam is cracked, go find a craftsman to repair it!" Lin Jinlan treasured every plant and tree in Luming Garden. This was the first thing she did as soon as her sister died and she was taken to the head wife. Just renovated the Luming Garden from the inside out!
On the other side, Lu Mingyu returned to Tomorrow Garden angrily. His clenched fists and heaving chest revealed his anger. He directly picked up the spear and started swinging it in the yard. Each move was as cold as the wind and as powerful as a rainbow.
Yuyan has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she admires people with superb martial arts. She originally thought that the sixth son of the Lu family was a playboy, but she didn't expect that his martial arts skills were so high. Unknowingly, he stood at the door and stared at him for a long time.
After a long time, the stone couldn't stand anymore, so he grabbed the loose stones on the ground and threw them towards Yu Yan's face with his internal strength.
