Chapter 140 There's no such thing as being born out of wedlock or not.

"Dad, I know you're right, but the most important thing right now is to find Jiajia."

"Sigh!" Even if Lu Jingnian had a lot of temper, he was forced to swallow it back by Lu Chong's words.

Yes, the most urgent task is to find Lu Qingjia!

“Chong’er, come with me to your older brother’s house and tell him about this.”

A hint of difficulty flashed across Lu Chong's face. "You mean we should tell our older brothers about this? But even if they find out, they might not be able to help us."

Lu Jingnian had killed countless people on the battlefield, and these family values ​​were deeply ingrained in him. Seeing that Lu Chong seemed somewhat unwilling, he frowned slightly.

In his opinion, Lu Chong shouldn't have said such a thing. They were both his children, and they should have worked together.

He raised his cane and scolded, "Chong'er, what are you saying? You and Xiu'er are both your father and mother's children. Shouldn't you talk to him about this kind of thing?"

"Father, I know all that you're saying, but the fewer people who know about Jiajia's accident, the better. Nobody knows who's behind this!"

"You, you..." Lu Jingnian's face turned red with anger. He couldn't believe that his two sons were not united at all.

The two were talking so loudly that Lu Xiu, who was taking a nap in the next courtyard, had already heard them. When he heard what his second brother said, there was no surprise on his face, only understanding.

Their relationship is indeed strained, but so what?

He pushed open the gate to the courtyard and walked over with his wife, Wang Lanfeng.

Upon seeing Lu Chong, Lu Jingnian, and Pei Fuqu, he said in a deep voice, "Father, Second Brother, Sister-in-law."

Lu Wuji and Lu Wushuang followed Lu Xiu out of the courtyard. Lu Wushuang, who was following behind, was obviously still half asleep. When she saw Lu Chong's angry appearance, she yawned in a daze.

"Second Uncle, what happened? Why is your face so red?"

Lu Wushuang is the youngest daughter of Lu Xiu and Wang Lanfeng. She has a round, chubby face, especially her almond-shaped eyes, which are now staring at Lu Chong's face, making her look very cute.

Although Lu Chong had some issues with Lu Xiu, he still doted on Lu Xiu's two children.

In addition, Lu Wushuang had a likable personality, so when Lu Wushuang asked him a question, Lu Chong's tone immediately calmed down, "Wushuang, something did happen, but it has nothing to do with you."

Lu Wuji, who had been standing silently to the side, spoke up, "Second Uncle, Wuji knows that you usually don't tell us when something happens, but you should know that in our hearts, our little brother is like our own brother. We are very worried when he goes missing."

Lu Wuji was not unaware of what Lu Chong had just said to his grandfather.

Lu Chong was stunned, and instantly realized that his conversation with Lu Jingnian had been overheard. He could only sigh helplessly.

"Jiajia is missing. Now that you all know, what do you think we should do next?"

Lu Xiu wasn't in a hurry to answer his younger brother's question. He first walked over to his father, raised his hand in a gesture of respect, and said, "Father."

Lu Jingnian had always valued his steady and mature eldest son. When he saw that his son seemed indifferent to Lu Chong's words and remained calm and composed, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Don't stand on ceremony with me. You must have heard my conversation with your brother. In your opinion, what should we do next?"

It's truly unexpected that the Zhenguo General's Mansion, which is renowned throughout the north and south, would be at a loss when faced with such a trivial matter, with the entire family having to rely on a male member.

However, this is not their fault, since they are all rough men who are not familiar with managing a household or the situation in the capital.

Lu Xiu paused for a moment, then said directly, "In my opinion, Father and Second Brother should use the power of the Howling Eagle Token to search for them."

"Howl, the Howling Eagle Order?"

Lu Jingnian's wrinkled face trembled slightly upon hearing these words, as if he could not believe it.

Lu Xiu nodded calmly, "Father, there's only one way now."

Even Lu Chong, who was standing next to him, paused when he heard these words, his angry face stopping as if he was thinking about something.

Although the General of the State's Mansion is loyal to the Emperor, they are not fools. They know that the Emperor is suspicious by nature, and moreover, they hold a large army, making them even more of a target of suspicion.

The Howling Eagle Tokens they held were from a group of people scattered among the common people, passed down from their ancestors. This organization only obeyed the person who held the Howling Eagle Token.

This matter has always been known only to members of the Lu family. Anyone who tries to betray the Lu family and reveals that the Lu family possesses the Howling Eagle Token will suddenly experience a brief period of dizziness.

Because before this, their whole family had already formed a contract with the Howling Eagle Token, which would cause them to feel an inexplicable fear of the holder of the Howling Eagle Token.

The reason why Lu Chong and Lu Xiu felt a deep sense of fear towards Lu Jingnian upon meeting him is this:

It wasn't just from his father's authority, but also from the influence of the Howling Eagle Order.

Not to mention Pei Fuqu and Wang Lanfeng, both of whom had undergone the baptism of the Howling Eagle Order before marrying into the Zhenguo General's Mansion, so they kept this matter a complete secret.

However, Lu Qingjia seems unaware of this matter, partly because he is too young. Secondly, Lu Jingnian intends to pass the Howling Eagle Token to Lu Qingjia.

Lu Jingnian would not use the Howling Eagle Token unless absolutely necessary. After hearing Lu Xiu's words, he began to ponder the matter.

He gritted his teeth, his cane striking the bluestone slab with a crisp sound. "In that case, let's use the Howling Eagle Token to send someone to investigate what exactly happened to Jiajia."

Lu Jingnian spoke up, and since the idea was originally proposed by Lu Xiu, the others couldn't think of any other good solutions, so they all nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Lu Wuji noticed that someone was missing and asked with some confusion, "Father, why didn't Second Brother come?"

"You mean Lu Qingxiao?" Lu Xiu asked in a deep voice.

Lu Wuji nodded in a daze. Everyone should be present at this time; his absence was simply unreasonable.

Lu Xiu snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter whether he's here or not. He's just an illegitimate son. Besides... he's not an illegitimate son on my side. He's an illegitimate son from your second uncle's family. You should ask your second uncle about that."

"this……"

In Lu Wuji's eyes, there was no such thing as being born out of wedlock or not; everyone was the same.
