As soon as Lu Chongyuan and Lu Zhao arrived outside the Xiao Mansion, they were stopped by Cang Lang who hurried out.
"Lu Zhongshu."
Canglang stood in front of the steps and said to Lu Chongyuan, who was being helped by Lu Zhao to get into the carriage: "My girl forgot to mention just now that it is difficult for her to choose the book collection. In a few days, I will find Mr. Cao and Mr. Wen." Marquis Xin and the others will go to the Lu family together, and I hope Lu Zhongshu will not take offense at that."
"Furthermore, the Queen has agreed to terminate the engagement between the girl and the Lu family. Please Lu Zhongshu prepare the girl's posthumous certificate as soon as possible and write the divorce document so that it can be sent to Mr. Lu Sanlang as soon as possible after he is released from prison, so as to avoid further misunderstandings."
He was full of sincerity: "Lu Zhongshu, the Lu family has been a century-old family and sincerity is the most important thing. Don't forget to ask Mr. Lu Sanlang to come to Tang Mansion to plead guilty. You can't miss a day for three days."
"You!!!" Lu Zhao was furious.
"okay."
Lu Chongyuan grabbed the eldest son's hand with force, blocking the angry words on his lips. He only raised his head and said calmly: "Tell Miss Song that the Lu family knows about it, and reassure her that the Lu family will never go back on its word."
Cang Lang cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Lu Zhongshu is still very generous. Lu Zhongshu walks slowly, so I won't see you off."
Lu Chongyuan got on the carriage with a sweet taste in his throat, expressionless.
As soon as Lu Zhao lifted the curtain and got in, he slammed it down and couldn't help but cursed angrily: "This Song Tangning is so bullying, and that Xiao Yan is so shameless!! Father, how could you allow them to do this? Ridiculous conditions, my Lu family’s hundreds of years of savings are going to go to waste for that ignorant girl?!”
"Then what do you want? Don't you know what it means for her to build an academy?"
"I……"
Lu Zhao was furious, and he became angrier just because he knew.
Song Tangning took advantage of the Lu family's shortcomings and forced them to take out half of the book collection. When the academy is completed, the book collection will become the academy's biggest gimmick.
Everyone will praise Song Tangning for her righteousness and selflessness, but no one will remember that those books are from the Lu family. So Song Tangning is clearly stepping on the Lu family to gain fame!
Lu Zhao was so angry that he wished he could kill Song Tangning: "The Song girl is so shameless, no wonder she has the same affinity with Xiao Yan. How could the Lu family have made a marriage contract with such a person in the first place!"
When Lu Zhao mentioned this, he thought of Empress Lu. If she hadn't been involved, how could Lu Zhinian have settled for Song Tangning, and how could he have caused today's disaster?
He covered the bruise on his forehead caused by the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, and gritted his teeth and said, "Father, the Queen went too far this time. She knew clearly that showing weakness to Song Tangning would make Xiao Yan take advantage of her, but she actually dared to act behind the Lu family's back. He even betrayed the Lu family and took Sanlang to sell it to Song Tangning and Xiao Yan in order to protect himself. We must not let it go easily this time!"
"Then what do you want? Destroy the Queen?!"
"Father……"
There was something wrong with Lu Chongyuan's tone, and he clutched the edge of the car wall with a pale face.
When Lu Zhao realized something was wrong, he was about to say something when he saw that Lu Chongyuan seemed to be unable to hold it back. His throat suddenly rolled and he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, covering his head and face.
"Father!!!"
Lu Zhao used all his strength to support Lu Chongyuan who had fallen down. His face turned pale with fear. With anxious eyes, he supported Lu Chongyuan against the wall of the carriage, stretched out his hand and knocked on the carriage and said angrily:
"Go home, go back home quickly!!!"
Please doctor! !
…
Lu Chongyuan went to Jiuyun Lane and was carried back to the Lu Mansion overnight. Even though the Lu family had not invited anyone from the Imperial Medical Office, and they had sealed the mouths of the servants in the manor and tried their best to hide it, the news still spread. go out.
The next morning, Xiao Yan was injured in the assassination and did not go to court. Lu Chongyuan also took leave because he occasionally felt cold.
The courtiers in the court were used to the two of them tit-for-tat from time to time. Looking at the suddenly strange and quiet morning court, they felt an indescribable discomfort.
It wasn't until Emperor An mentioned that the flesh and blood of the Rong family, that is, the little girl in Jiuyun Lane who brought down the Duke of Song Dynasty, wanted to build an academy in the name of the late Grand Tutor Rong, did things explode again.
In particular, Emperor An had promised to give gifts from the royal family and build a monument to literary virtues, and the Lu family "strongly supported" and was willing to give half of the books in the palace as a gift, which made all the courtiers look at each other.
"The court has been in need of more capable people for a long time. If this academy can cultivate useful people for the court, Miss Song will do you a great kindness. Now, she will be given the title of Lord of Yiyang County, with a settlement of 300 households. As a reward for her good deeds, I would like to encourage you..."
Emperor An threw Jing Lei away and went back to practice immortality and alchemy, but the people in the court were in chaos.
Putting aside the erection of the Wende Monument and the preparations for the establishment of the academy, it was shocking that Song Tangning suddenly gained the position of county head and was granted the title of a city, not to mention the "book gift" from the Lu family.
"Mr. Lu, is he crazy?"
The aristocratic family monopolizes the court precisely because people from poor families have no way out, and the aristocratic families above the court are more powerful than others. But now, as the head of the aristocratic family, Lu Chongyuan actually fully supported the Song daughter's plan to build an academy and even donated her collection of books.
If in the future, the children from poor families in the academy will succeed, all the interests that will be cut off will be the interests of their family. By then, their family will still have a place to stand!
The courtiers who came from aristocratic families were furious.
"What happened to the Lu family? How could they agree to such a ridiculous request?!"
"Where's Mr. Lu? Is Mr. Lu really suffering from the cold, or did he do such a ridiculous thing to show his face?"
"This is absolutely ridiculous, the Lu family is crazy!"
"No, I'm going to ask Lu Chongyuan to see what they want to do. They are cutting off the path of our family!!"
A group of courtiers from aristocratic families were full of anger and rushed to the Lu family to question them. Unlike these people, Cao Dejiang and Qingliu were full of surprise.
"Is Lu Chongyuan out of his mind to do such a good thing?"
"Yes, he actually gave up the Lu family's book collection and gave it to Miss Song?"
Those collections of books were extremely coveted even by courtiers like them.
If we really have this collection of books and plan to build an academy to recruit students, the blood in the court will be completely renewed, and they will not be suppressed by aristocratic families.
Qian Baokun stood aside and listened to the discussions around him. Although he was also from a noble family, the Qian family's ancestral home was Lingnan. Although they were a wealthy family, they did not have much relationship with the noble families in Beijing.
He stuffed his hands into the sleeves of his official robe and said leisurely: "Those books may not have been given willingly by the Lu family. I heard that Lu Zhongshu went to Jiuyun Lane last night and was later carried back to the Lu family. .”
hiss--
The people around him suddenly took a breath of air, and some people reflexively said, "Is it Xiao Yan's coercion and inducement?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Cao Dejiang glared at the man angrily: "Is Xiao Yan so stupid that he dares to attack Lu Chongyuan directly in Jiuyun Lane?"
Lu Chongyuan was not the old lady from the Song family who Xiao Yan beat up. If he really dared to touch Lu Chongyuan, he would be carried back to the Lu family.
Then the Lu family's house would have exploded early in the morning, so what other books could be given away? Do you really think they are soft persimmons, so easy to handle?
