Several people had gotten off the carriage, and the voices of those watching from a distance became clearer.
Cui Lin was not afraid of the gloomy look on Lu Chongyuan's face. The Lu family suffered setbacks one after another, and their vitality was severely damaged. He originally wanted to destroy the Lu family in one go and let the Cui family take their place, but who could have imagined that Lu Chongyuan would fall. In such a situation, there is still a way to bring the dead back to life.
He didn't know what method Lu Chongyuan used to actually force Emperor An to give in. He remembered that that day, he thought that the Lu family would also die without a burial place, but unexpectedly, after Lu Chongyuan entered the palace to plead guilty, he was able to return to the court. The news made him feel so angry that he felt pain in his heart.
After planning for a long time in vain, Cui Lin naturally disliked everything about Lu Chongyuan: "If it weren't for Lu Zhongshu's gift, this Rongsheng Academy would not be what it is today."
Lu Chongyuan took a deep breath: "The Lu family is also being plotted by others. I have no choice but to come here today. Mr. Cui, the family is in the same spirit..."
"Don't!"
Cui Lin interrupted him coldly before he could finish his explanation: "We in the Cui family don't dare to join in the scandal caused by your Lu family. There are so many girls in the Cui family who still want to be famous. "
"It's okay for the Lu family to hide the matter of the grain supply before. I didn't expect that it would get involved with King Cheng. Even the Hou Rui Lu family of the Ministry of War hid it so deeply. If someone hadn't happened to find out this time, they would have been involved. I don’t know what your Lu family will do in the future.”
"It's not easy to inherit the Cui family. I don't dare to entrust my ancestors' family fortune to Lu Zhongshu. Otherwise, I don't know if I will be sold one day in the future..."
"Cui Lin!" Lu Qin could not help but suppress his voice and said angrily when he heard his constant anger: "You know clearly that the Lu family has been framed, and my father has tried his best to save it. What's more, if you hadn't secretly approached the second prince, how could you have done it?" There will be those things behind..."
"Do you have the shame to blame me?"
Cui Lin looked at Lu Qin with a frosty look on his face: "Did I make the heirs in your house misbehave? Or did I force you to live with Prince Cheng? You devoted all your family's efforts to assist the fourth prince, but what's the result? You raised an ignorant and extremely stupid person. White-eyed wolf, if I hadn’t chosen a retreat early, the Cui family would be as embarrassed as your Lu family!"
"you!"
"What are you doing? Lu Qin, the Cui family is not a vassal of your Lu family. I can also be regarded as your elder. When I am talking to your father, when will it be your turn to interrupt?"
Cui Lin looked at Lu Qin who was glaring at him, then turned to look at Lu Chongyuan: "Is this the upbringing of your Lu family?"
Lu Chongyuan didn't want to fall out with Cui Lin. The Lu family was in trouble one after another, and the family suffered too much. Although he forced Emperor An to retreat temporarily, the eldest son's lineage was ruined, and the second son could not hold a big responsibility. In order to protect the family's grain, Lu Chongyuan was involved in the case. The family is also bleeding heavily, and their vitality has been severely damaged. It is not a good thing to fall out with the Cui family.
However, Cui Lin is aggressive and his words are extremely harsh. If he gives in now, he will no longer be able to hold the family's heart firmly.
Lu Chongyuan stretched out his hand to block Lu Qin, and turned to Cui Lin with a cold face: "The Cui family does not need to take care of the upbringing of the Lu family. As for the fourth prince, he is stupid, but he lives dependent on the family. If someone hadn't secretly instigated him, he would never do it. It won’t come back to bite the family.”
"Mr. Cui has a lofty ideal. I will never stop you from taking the Cui family to the future you want. However, the aristocratic family has long been in the same interest. A single move can affect the whole body. The Lu family has never thought about implicating other families and has tried its best to preserve it. The interests of the family, but Cui Gong is still dissatisfied, but you want me to call several other people together to talk about why the Caoliang case has ended up where it is now?"
Cui Lin looked at Lu Chongyuan with cold eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
Lu Chongyuan, does he know?
That account book thing...
Feng Qiuli, who had been following him without saying a word, suddenly stepped forward: "Mr. Cui, what Mr. Lu said makes sense. The family is one, and it is of no use to us if any one of us is frustrated. So many people came to Rongsheng Academy today, and we are fighting among ourselves. It will only make people laugh."
He looked at Lu Chongyuan again: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Cui just said something in anger. The fourth prince is now divorced from the aristocratic family, and the queen is different from before. I'm afraid the aristocratic family can't rely on them anymore. Mr. Cui just wants to help us." I want to find another way out, and I have no intention of abandoning others and pursuing their own future."
"Knowing that Rongsheng Academy is opening today and that the Lord of Yiyang County intends to embarrass Mr. Lu, Mr. Cui and I will come here. I hope Mr. Lu will not misunderstand."
Feng Qiuli's words were particularly beautiful. Lu Chongyuan took a deep look at him and saw another carriage coming not far away. He lowered his eyes and said darkly: "Of course I won't misunderstand. I just hope that there will be no infighting among the aristocratic families. Just take advantage of nothing." Outsiders."
Feng Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief: "That's what Lu Gong taught you."
Someone came over in front of the academy door and saluted several people.
"Lu Zhongshu, Cui Shangshu, and a few other adults. My county chief asks you to come and invite us."
Cui Lin frowned, feeling that Song Tangning didn't know the etiquette. They came in person, but Song Tangning didn't greet him respectfully. Instead, he only sent a servant over. He snorted coldly, greeted Feng Qiuli and strode towards the academy. As he walked, the two officials from the aristocratic family followed behind him.
Lu Chongyuan and Lu Qin waited for them to leave before raising their feet and walking inside.
Lu Qin looked at their backs and gritted his teeth: "Father, that Cui Lin is really hateful..."
Lu Chongyuan waved his hand and lowered his voice when he saw that the person leading the way was far ahead: "Cui Lin is ambitious, but in fact he is extremely arrogant. He has coveted the head of the family for a long time. It is not difficult to deal with him. That Feng Qiuli is the one who doesn't scream. dog."
They say dogs that bite don't bark, but Cui Lin's barking is so powerful that it's not something to be afraid of at all. He longs to support the second prince to ascend the throne just like the Lu family supported Emperor An, and wants to devour the Lu family, but he doesn't have the ability at all. , but it was that Feng Qiuli.
In the past, the Cui family was invisible, and the Cui family was like a vassal. However, if you think about the growing discord between the Cui and Lu families, the Feng family can be seen everywhere.
He had underestimated the boy named Feng too much before.
A lot of people had gathered in the academy, and almost all of them were familiar faces. When the Lu family and his son arrived in front of the academy hall, they saw Cao Dejiang, who had always been unsmiling, talking to Song Tangning from a distance, his face full of warmth. There were other courtiers standing beside him, and the atmosphere was very lively.
When Lu Chongyuan and the others arrived, it suddenly became quiet inside.
Tang Ning apologized to the person next to him and walked towards them.
"I've met Lu Zhongshu and Cui Shangshu."
Cui Lin hated the Lu family, but he didn't like Song Tangning much either. The woman did not stay at home, but instead went out to build some academy and tried to compete with the aristocratic family. He spoke with sarcasm.
"Yiyang County Lord, this academy was built in a hurry and opened early. I thought it was very comprehensive, but I don't want to see it so crude."
