Chapter 141 Jealousy of Women

Furthermore, Lu Qingxiao was kind, quiet, and hardworking, which Lu Qingxiao noticed. He felt that, apart from being born out of wedlock, the two were quite similar.

So hearing this made me feel a little sad.

Lu Wuji thought about it and decided to ask his second uncle, but as soon as he took a step forward, his sleeve was pulled.

He turned around in surprise, only to meet a pair of moist eyes.

Lu Wushuang whispered, "Big brother, don't meddle in other people's business! Whether Lu Qingxiao comes or not doesn't matter much, and besides, the last time my little brother got lost, he was definitely involved!"

Lu Wuji didn't expect his younger sister to advise him. Actually, he was quite hesitant, but when he thought about how good Lu Qingxiao had been to him in the past, he felt a little uneasy.

"Well, that's... alright then!"

On second thought, Lu Wuji realized that his younger sister was right. After all, the last time Lu Qingxiao took Lu Qingjia out, he neglected his duties and caused his younger brother to be kidnapped.

Seeing that his elder brother had agreed, Lu Wushuang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, my eldest brother listened to advice. After all, Lu Qingxiao had nothing to do with them. If my eldest brother had gotten involved in this mess, I don't know how much my father would have scolded him.

Lu Chong didn't notice Lu Wuji and Lu Wushuang's subtle movements; he was still waiting for Lu Jingnian to speak.

Looking at the azure sky, Lu Jingnian sighed and said resignedly, "Jiajia is the most talented child in our Zhenguo General's Mansion. She is the hope for our General's Mansion and the entire Dongyue to pacify the southern and northern barbarians in the future. Tomorrow, I will use this Howling Eagle Token to spread the news."

Although Lu Xiu and Lu Chong knew of the existence of the Howling Eagle Token, they had never actually seen it. Upon hearing this, a look of anticipation flashed in their eyes.

The group discussed the matter for a while longer before returning to their respective rooms.

Pei Fuqu didn't dare to breathe loudly in front of Lu Jingnian, but now that she was back in the courtyard with only Lu Chong by her side, she immediately became pitiful again.

"Brother Chong, do you think this Howling Eagle Token is really useful? Can Dad really use it to find Jiajia?"

Lu Chong didn't quite understand the function of the Howling Eagle Token. He just watched his beloved shed tears and wished he could rip his heart out for her.

"Fuqu, don't worry. This Howling Eagle Token was passed down from our Lu family ancestors, so it shouldn't be wrong."

“But, but…” Pei Fuqu’s expression was still very hesitant.

Lu Chong, however, felt that she was worrying too much. "Fuqu, you should know that the things that our Lu family has been able to pass down from our ancestors are all extraordinary. Don't worry about it!"

"Why don't we wait until Father issues the Howling Eagle Token tomorrow and see how it goes? If it doesn't work out, then you can worry."

Hearing this, Pei Fuqu became a little anxious. "I'm just worried about Jiajia. You know I'm physically weak and have difficulty conceiving. We've been married for so many years, and this is the only time I've managed to get pregnant with him."

"I'm telling you, Brother Chong! If anything happens to Jiajia, I won't live either!"

"Hey, no!"

Hearing Pei Fuqu say such foolish things, Lu Chong felt a headache coming on, but there was nothing else he could do at the moment.

He could only patiently coax her, "Fuqu'er, how could I not know that Jiajia is our only child? But you see, we don't have any other options right now, so let's wait until tomorrow to talk about it."

These words had a different meaning in Pei Fuqu's ears, and she reached out and grabbed Lu Chong's ear.

"You, Lu Chong, you speak so sweetly, but you're not still thinking about that dead aunt, are you?!"

"You should know that if Jiajia dies, your illegitimate son will be your only son. If you let that illegitimate son inherit your position, then I will divorce you!"

Lu Chong was taken aback when he heard Pei Fuqu say that.

The pain that followed in his ear made him feel even more uncomfortable.

However, he liked Pei Fuqu, and he was a rough man who doted on his wife, so he patiently explained, "Although Lu Qingxiao is indeed my illegitimate son, didn't you see it back then? The year Jiajia was born, I didn't care about his mother's life or death, but let her die on her bed."

"Doesn't this prove that my heart is as clear as day and night?!"

Pei Fuqu felt a little relieved after hearing this, but she still said angrily, "Then quickly send other people to look for Jiajia. After all, Jiajia is exceptionally talented, and no one knows who is hiding behind him to harm him."

As if remembering something, Pei Fuqu added, "Why haven't I seen that illegitimate son these past few days?"

Ever since Lu Qingjia's accident, Pei Fuqu has disliked Lu Qingxiao even more. At home, she constantly acts spoiled and tantrums, telling Lu Chong that she wants to kick him out.

But that was, after all, his own son. Even if he was born to a concubine, his blood still flowed in his veins.

Therefore, Lu Chong couldn't bear it and didn't budge, only superficially punishing Lu Qingxiao.

After all, Lu Qingxiao has a deep grasp of martial arts and is a very patient, hardworking, and steady child.

Lu Chong had no objections to him; after all, he was still his own son, and he was very pleased that his son had become successful.

But to Pei Fuqu, Lu Qingxiao was just a concubine's son, so it's no wonder she felt resentful.

Lu Chong said, "Qingxiao recently asked me for permission to go to the training ground alone for training."

Pei Fuqu was somewhat dissatisfied, "Jiajia encountered such a thing and this brat still hasn't come back. Maybe Jiajia's disappearance this time is related to him."

Lu Chong found Pei Fuqu's words utterly absurd and frowned.

"The most urgent task is to find Jiajia. When Jiajia disappeared, Lu Qingxiao was not even in the General's Mansion. In addition, he was already punished for doing this last time. I don't believe he will not learn his lesson this time."

"But……"

Pei Fuqu was about to say something when Lu Chong interrupted her.

"This matter definitely has nothing to do with Lu Qingxiao, Fuqu, just forget about it!"

Pei Fuqu and Lu Chong had been married for many years, and she had rarely been yelled at or treated like this by Lu Chong. This was the first time she had been treated this way, and she couldn't help but feel a little upset.

“Chong-ge, you’ve changed,” Pei Fuqu said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Lu Chong frowned, feeling a pang of sadness upon hearing this, but he still couldn't understand why Pei Fuqu, who was so wonderful, couldn't accept Lu Qingxiao's existence.

That makes sense, though. Lu Chong is just a rough man; he has no idea what jealousy in a woman's heart is.
