The Xue family collapsed.
With the prefect's thorough investigation and strong witnesses and evidence, the Xue family's crime of trying to kill a total of thirty-seven people who had fled from the north was clearly revealed!
The prefect has sorted out all the evidence and testimonies and sent them to the capital. The Xue family has confiscated all their property, the men have been exiled for three thousand miles, and the women have been sent to the Jiaofang Division.
Suddenly, all the merchants related to the Xue family in Qiantang City felt insecure and did not dare to come forward for fear of being caught in the wrong place.
And the Lu family, who had just danced the hardest with Xue Dingmao, didn't even dare to fart.
If the Xue family is gone, will the Lu family be far behind?
Lu Zhang suddenly ran out of ideas and wanted to go to the Qian family for help, but the always friendly Qian family also closed the door behind closed doors, saying they wanted to avoid the limelight.
When I got home, my eldest son was in jail, Xiao Qi was still lying down, and Lin Jinlan, who had always been a troublemaker, was going crazy again. He really didn't even have anyone to talk to and give advice.
When Lu Zhang was sitting alone in the front hall, the butler brought a bowl of ginseng soup: "Sir, this is what the fifth young master has prepared for you. You must be exhausted when you come back, so drink a bowl of ginseng soup to warm your body. "
Fifth Young Master, Lu Mianting?
Lu Zhang rolled his dry eyes. Yes, he still has a son!
But the newly raised hope was fleeting, but Lu Mianting was a cripple! What can a person who is disabled and has not been taught since childhood accomplish?
He, Lu Zhang, really has no one to use!
It would be great if he had a grandson. He would teach him well and there would be hope of reviving his Lu family in the future!
With this thought, Lu Zhang followed the devil and came to Chaolu Garden to meet Chu Yao for the first time.
Chu Yao was really surprised that her father-in-law wanted to see her. Originally, this person was living a good life, so why bother her again?
But there is still work to be done on the surface.
Chu Yao personally made tea for Lu Zhang and served it respectfully: "Father, please use it."
"Well, good boy." Lu Zhang was also embarrassed, but Lin Jinlan was crazy and he didn't have a concubine, so he could only come here shamelessly.
After drinking two bowls, Lu Zhang finally smiled and said, "Can you send me a letter from your mother's family?"
The Lu family was in shaky state, and the things originally promised to the Chu family might not be fulfilled. Lu Zhang was also afraid that the Chu family would cause trouble, so he asked first.
"No, my mother came to visit me last time when I was sick, but there has been no letter from her since." This was also a thorn in Chu Yao's heart.
Lu Zhang nodded with a dry smile and spoke again: "Brother Sheng has gone in. I'm afraid there is no way to survive. If you have the idea to return to your parents' home, I can make the decision and give you a wife's letter."
Oh, what a wish!
But Chu Yao doesn't want to go back to the impersonal Chu family. If she goes back, she is afraid that she will still be used as a tool to plan the next deal that is beneficial to the Chu family.
So she showed three emotions of surprise, sadness and rejection within three seconds, trying to move Lu Zhang.
"Father, since I have married into the Lu family, I am the wife of the Lu family. If my husband really cannot come back, I should fulfill my filial piety to the Lu family on his behalf."
"Good boy, good boy." Lu Zhang didn't expect Chu Yao to have such a heart, and his eyes turned red with emotion. "Our Lu family married you. It's a blessing we cultivated in our previous life."
Chu Yao also shed a few tears. Just as she was about to propose her previously thought-out excuse of going to Jing'an Temple to pray, Lu Zhang spoke again:
"Our Lu family in Qiantang is a family business that I built by myself. The business has been going through ups and downs, with losses and wins. I don't blame anyone for getting to where we are now, only myself for my own bad luck. The Lu family may have to walk a very difficult path in the future. Lu, I don’t want a good boy like you to suffer, but what you said today really comes to my heart.”
As he spoke, Lu Zhang choked up twice and looked at Chu Yao for a moment, feeling that the old man had no good intentions.
Sure enough, Lu Zhang continued: "Since we are all from the Lu family, I, as a father, will not beat around the bush. I have a plan and I would like to ask for your approval?"
this……
Chu Yao's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling: "Father, please tell me."
"I hope that you can be with Xiaowu..." Lu Zhang looked really embarrassed and stumbled for a long time before he finished speaking: "Leave a queen for the Lu family..."
Boom——
Chu Yao's pupils suddenly trembled, and there was a buzzing in her ears.
She couldn't believe that this was something a father-in-law could say, and she couldn't believe that such a ridiculous thing would happen to her.
Seeing that Chu Yao was frightened, Lu Zhang hurriedly tried to make amends: "Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. It's just that there are so many children in the Lu family and there is no heir. I don't know how to go to the underworld in the future." Go and see the ancestors."
? ? ?
Do you have any ancestors in your family?
Chu Yao wanted to throw all the tea sets in front of her onto Lu Zhang's face, which was thicker than the city wall, and cursed, "Is your old immortal head full of shit?"
But when her rationality returned, she couldn't do this even for the sake of her own reputation.
No matter how wronged you are, you can't insult your father-in-law!
However, even if she suppressed the raging anger in her heart, Chu Yao could not force out a smile: "Father, what did you say?"
Since you can't object, just pretend to be stupid.
"Father, are you blaming me for not giving birth to a son for the Lu family? But my husband originally had a child, but my mother aborted it myself. I didn't want to..."
Chu Yao directly used a woman's unique trump card - cry!
Seeing Chu Yao crying so hard that she was out of breath, Lu Zhang became increasingly irritated. Finally, he left the words "Have a good life" and ran away.
As soon as Lu Zhang left, Chu Yao immediately jumped up and danced towards the door.
What an old fool, he only came up with such a bad idea after his brain was gnawed by a donkey!
Let the boss's wife have a baby with Xiao Wu?
Why don’t you have a baby with the widow Wang next door?
Chu Yao was so angry that she couldn't bear to smash things in her yard, so she took advantage of the opportunity to deliver soup to Lin Jinlan and ran to Jinlanyuan to vent her anger. Lin Jinlan was scared to death, but she didn't dare to say a word, so she stuffed her head in Finished under the quilt.
After venting her anger, Chu Yao continued to help Lin Jinlan fall asleep as usual.
Then I went to Chen Xiyuan and asked about Xiao Qi's situation. He was still hanging on for his life. He was really desperate. He couldn't even die.
Forget it, Lu Mingyu said that he would not let Lu Langchen die so easily. He would die after watching Lu Zhang fall and everything he was proud of collapse.
Just because Lu Zhang could have such a ridiculous idea, does it mean that he is really desperate?
Does Lu Mingyu know?
You should know.
But to be on the safe side, Chu Yao still wrote down the incident and sent it to Lu Mingyu.
In the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Wanyu has been practicing concealed weapons for more than a month. After using many silver needles, she finally achieved the probability of shooting 9 out of 10 times.
I was a novice last time, but now I can be considered a semi-experienced player.
Bai Lu also went out early and returned late to practice in the mountains outside the city. She said that only real difficulties can truly train people, and the harder the better.
But later Lin Wanyu also started to smell something, and once she squatted at the door, waiting for Bai Lu, who was covered in dust, to come home, and blocked her from the door.
"Be honest, who is training you?"
Lin Wanyu had noticed it a long time ago, saying that Wangchuan Wangquan was training her, but she clearly saw the two of them in the east courtyard a few times, so who was Bailu over there?
Bai Lu also knew that she couldn't keep it secret for long, so she confessed directly and was lenient: "Shishan."
"Ah?" Lin Yunyu pulled Bai Lu into the house and said as he walked: "Wasn't he punished? He was..."
Bai Lu nodded: "Young Master will also punish him and teach me my skills."
What kind of punishment is this? If Gao Tong knew that there was such a method of punishment, he could not wait to be punished next to Shen Ningxin year after year, doing whatever he wanted.
Lin Wanyu finally saw that Lu Mingyu not only saved people everywhere, but also helped people everywhere.
But just don’t let yourself go!
After having a heart-to-heart talk with Mrs. Yun Xi, she learned how Lu Mingyu got to where he is today step by step.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there was a narrow escape from death.
The former owners of Yunxiaofang and Yunxiang Tower were evil businessmen who dominated Qiantang City. Even Li Hui did not dare to confront him head-on. Hearing that the son of the evil businessman had a fight with Lu Mingyu, Lu Mingyu almost killed him. He was beaten to death and two of his leg bones were broken!
Lu Mingyu was recorded by the evil businessman, who threatened to throw him into the mountains to feed the tigers!
Indeed, he did so. Lu Mingyu stayed alone in the deep mountains and forests for seven days and seven nights. Finally, he walked out with a bloody tiger bone, walked to the evil merchant's mansion step by step, and said in front of everyone: " I came back alive, and according to the agreement, this broken leg matter has been written off!"
The evil businessman didn't expect anyone to escape, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
In the end, Lu Mingyu also left the tiger bone, saying it was good for the recovery of a broken leg.
Less than half a year later, for some reason, the evil businessman moved his family out of Qiantang, and Yunxiaofang and Yunxiang Building changed owners.
Because after half a year, no one thought about Lu Mingyu. They just thought it was the evil businessman who moved out on his own, and they also thought it was Yunxiaofang and Yunxiang Tower owned by a certain wealthy businessman.
But in fact, it was Lu Mingyu who later signed a gambling agreement with an evil businessman. To put it bluntly, it was a game. Whoever could make ten thousand taels with ten taels of silver the fastest would win.
If Lu Mingyu wins, Yunxiaofang and Yunxiang Tower will change owners. Otherwise, Lu Mingyu will be a thug for evil businessmen for the rest of his life.
Yes, the evil businessman was notorious. He took a fancy to Lu Mingyu's skill and evil spirit that could fight a tiger. He thought that with more training, he could become a warrior.
It's a pity that the evil businessman lost, only for a quarter of an hour.
So he lost the most profitable restaurant and gambling house in Qiantang City.
At the same time, the content of the contract must be abided by. This gambling agreement is confidential. If one party violates it, the whole family will be killed!
The evil businessman is scared. Lu Mingyu can even kill a tiger. Isn’t killing a human just like playing for fun?
He had thought about asking Lu Zhang to discipline Lu Mingyu, but Lu Mingyu only used a set of sword skills to make an evil businessman who had been arrogant for half his life become timid.
The dog's life is at stake!
Finally, I left Qiantang with my tail between my legs and heard that I was heading north.
In the following years, with the help of Gao Tong and Di Wuji, Lu Mingyu expanded his business and invested a lot of money in other people's business. He only wanted to receive regular dividends.
But in the eyes of Lu Zhang and the people in Qiantang City, he, Lu Mingyu, was still a dandy who could only skip classes, fight, walk in the streets, and hang out in the houses.
Madam Yunxi had only heard about these things, so she was very reserved when speaking about them, but Lin Wanyu could still feel how much pain Lu Mingyu had endured to get to where he is today.
But he can still maintain this sincere heart and be so considerate to the people around him.
Lin Wanyu had to admit that Lu Mingyu was the best man she had ever seen and knew.
And this man belongs to her?
Oh no, there is Qiuxiang at home who is watching her...
