"You bastard, do you know what your stupidity has cost the Lu family?!"
Lu Zhao originally thought that Lu Zhinian went to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion for business, and that he took the risk because he found something that could be manipulated against the Song family's daughter, or because he had something that could be used against Xiao Yan.
But he actually said that he was temporarily confused.
He was actually confused for a moment!
Thinking of the feud they had with the Queen after Lu Zhinian was imprisoned, thinking of how they had to give in and were manipulated by Song Tangning and Xiao Yan, and how they were forced to go to Jiuyun Lane and were humiliated. They even thought of the books that had been moved away from the Lu family today. Due to the rumors outside, Lu Zhao was so angry that he wished he could just beat Lu Zhinian to death.
"You traitor!!" Lu Zhao cursed and became angry, and couldn't help but slap him again: "If I had known this, why would your grandfather and I have to go to all the trouble to save you!!"
Lu Zhinian was already injured, and two consecutive slaps caused him to stagger and hit the wall of the car. Lu Rong next to him saw that his face was red and swollen, and quickly stepped forward to block Lu Zhao: "Master, please calm down, Mr. Sanlang. It wasn’t intentional…”
"He didn't mean to harm the Lu family to this point. If he had meant it, would the Lu family have to be buried with him?!"
Lu Zhao shouted angrily, looking at Lu Zhinian lying on the mat without any kindness at all.
"Go home!!"
The carriage sped towards the Lu family. Lu Zhinian looked embarrassed, holding the slap marks on his face, feeling a little helpless and uneasy looking at his extremely angry father.
He knew that he would cause some trouble if he was captured by Heijia and thrown into prison. His grandfather and the others would definitely be threatened by Xiao Yan if they rescued him, but Lu Zhao's attitude was not just that he was angry because he was imprisoned.
Lu Zhinian couldn't help but look at Lu Rong who was standing aside: "Uncle Rong..."
He wanted to ask him what happened.
But Lu Rong just shook his head and whispered: "Mr. Sanlang, you really got into big trouble this time."
"What happened?" Lu Zhinian's face turned pale.
Lu Rong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. He just sighed softly: "You will know after you return home."
Lu Zhinian grabbed the cushions under his body, looked at Lu Zhao who was speechless, and then looked at Lu Rong who lowered his eyes and sighed, and felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the three-day period and thought that Song Tangning had really sued the Lu family to Jingzhao Mansion. However, less than half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the alley of the Lu family.
Looking at the endless stream of carriages that were almost forming a long queue, looking at the boxes piled on the carriages, and the dark crowd surrounding the Lu family's door.
Lu Zhinian vaguely noticed something was wrong: "Uncle Rong, those are..."
"That is the flesh and blood of our Lu family!"
Before Lu Rong could speak, Lu Zhao pointed at the carriages outside and said coldly: "Those are the confidence accumulated by the Lu family for generations and are the foundation of the family, but now they are ruined all because of you at the hands of an ignorant little girl. inside."
"After you were imprisoned, Song Tangning sued the Lu family to the Holy See. In order to protect the Lu family and you, your grandfather promised to exchange half of the Lu family's collection of books for Song Tangning's things. Those are the flesh and blood that Song Tangning cut out from the bones of our Lu family."
"Lu Zhinian, please open your eyes and see clearly what your confusion has done to the Lu family!"
Lu Zhinian's eyes widened suddenly, and he gripped the car curtain so hard that he almost tore it to pieces: "Impossible...how is it possible..."
How could my grandfather agree to such a ridiculous request? !
The Lu family owed Song Tangning something, and they were indeed in the wrong, but even if she sued the emperor and went to court with Tang Ning, her grandfather would not give up half of the Lu family's book collection to settle the matter. .
Lu Zhinian's voice trembled: "Father, please stop joking. Even if Tang Ning sues the Lu family before the Holy See and fights with us to ask for those things, it is just a private matter between the Lu family and her. The Holy See cannot really favor her."
"What's more, there are the fourth princes and the court officials. They took Tang Ning's things. How could they just watch her make the matter bigger? They are not afraid of being implicated and ruining their official reputation..."
Lu Zhaohan said: "Song Tangning never investigated the whereabouts of those things."
Lu Zhinian's eyes widened as he heard Lu Zhao's voice as if it had been tempered by ice.
"Although Song Tangning accused the Lu family of embezzling Mo Rong's relics, she did not intend for the Lu family to return all the things, and she did not ask for them for selfish reasons at all."
"She planned to build an academy in the name of Rong Qian'an, and took out all the relics left by the Rong family, except the gold and silver, for students all over the world to borrow, and everything she asked for from the Lu family would also be given to the academy. What the Lu family took away was not from her. The things belong to those poor students, and the old grudge between the Lu family and her has long been no longer just a matter of one person, but a matter of all the scholars in the world."
"If your grandfather didn't agree to give the book, do you know what would happen to the Lu family?"
If you seize something from someone, you will not be afraid of going to court with the power of your family.
Even if Song Tangning breaks the news and the Lu family loses some face at most, they will not be afraid of that little girl.
But to seize the world's possessions and cut off the advancement of students all over the world, even the Lu family cannot withstand the public opinion and the criticism of scholars all over the world.
Public anger is hard to offend, Song Tangning gathered all the people's hearts on her.
Besides giving in and giving up half of their book collection, what else could the Lu family do?
Lu Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at the pale Lu Zhinian: "Your grandfather was humiliated, and the Lu family was trampled down to shame. Song Tangning trampled on the Lu family and was named the head of Yiyang County. People all over the world praised his righteousness. But even if the Lu family cuts out flesh and extracts blood, they still become the most despicable and shameless existence in the eyes of everyone."
"Listen to the words of those people outside, listen to how they disparage the Lu family, and how they praise the Song family's righteousness. How has the Lu family, a century-old family, ever suffered such humiliation!"
Lu Zhinian's face turned pale at Lu Zhao's words. He had never thought that he had only been in jail for three days and the outside world would turn out like this.
He originally thought that the prison was already an extremely difficult place for him, but he did not expect that leaving the prison would be the beginning of the real purgatory.
Lu Zhinian looked at the lively onlookers outside the car curtain, and vaguely listened to them praising the Lord of Yiyang County.
He looked at the boxes of books that were being loaded onto the carriage, and at the black-armored guards and people from the Beijing patrol who were standing by. He felt that his eyes were getting dark, and the curtains were shaky.
"Tang Ning, why..."
Why did she force the Lu family to come here.
He had betrayed her, and if she wanted to take revenge, she could just come against him alone, but the Lu family had never harmed her, so how could she be so cruel that she wanted to destroy the Lu family's century-old reputation and the foundation of their family?
