Chapter 28 Tearing off the mask of disguise

"What?" Lu Qingyue screamed and almost sprained her foot. Fortunately, Wang Xiuwan supported her in time.

Lu Yong frowned and glanced at the three of them. Just as he was about to say a few words of frustration, he saw a servant running over in a hurry, as if he had something to report.

"Can't you see that I'm having a great chat with the Prime Minister?" Lu Yong wondered what was wrong with everyone today. Their faces looked as if they had eaten too much dirt.

Shen Yuheng caught the slightly upturned corners of Lu Qiaoxiao's lips, and his fingers under the table tightened slightly.

What happened to Prince Ding'an at Guanglin Temple today has been spread out. Concubine Li was furious and smashed the nine-treasure exquisite vase given to her by the emperor.

Prince Ding'an was furious and wanted to find out who leaked the news. However, there were so many people present, could he really throw them all into jail?

He had to help her.

Lu Yong only listened to a few words that the servant whispered in his ear, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Prime Minister Shen, there's something urgent at home. I'll go take care of it first. Excuse me, Xiao'er, take good care of the adults."

If you look closely, you will find that Lu Yong's hands are shaking slightly and his lips are pale, as if he is sick.

When passing by Wang Xiuwan and the other two, Lu Yong glanced sideways and said, "Follow me!"

Lu Qiaoxiao looked at the backs of those departing figures, and his hands hidden under the table tightened unconsciously.

"Don't hold it in."

Lu Qiaoxiao seemed to hear a very light sneer.

But when she turned around, Shen Yuheng was just drinking tea as usual.

——

Xiuyue Tower:

Wang Xiuwan felt Lu Yong's low mood. She reached out to hold his arm, but was pushed away.

"I never thought that such a scandal would happen to my Lu family! Wang Xiuwan! Look at the good daughter you have raised!" Lu Yong was shaking with anger, but he still kept his tone as low as possible.

He is most concerned about face.

"Sir, Xiuzhu and Qingyue - they just want to find a good marriage." Wang Xiuwan's face was stiff. She really couldn't think of any way to save the situation, so she had to tell the truth.

"How foolish! After such a scandal happened in the Buddhist temple, do you think Concubine Li will let our family go? Can the emperor happily accept such a shameful daughter-in-law?" Lu Yong was heartbroken. He had always placed high hopes on the second girl in his family.

But she was so out of control today that she and Lu Xiuzhu slapped each other in front of outsiders, making others laugh.

Wang Xiuwan's face froze. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Lu Xiuzhu at the side spoke first: "Dad, even if His Majesty and Concubine Li are displeased, His Royal Highness Prince Ding'an said that he is not indifferent to me and is willing to marry me."

"Shut up!" Lu Yong raised his hand high and slapped Lu Xiuzhu in the face.

"Do you think you'll be safe from torture once you get married? Do you think everything will be fine once you enter Prince Ding'an's mansion?"

Lu Yong was shaking like a sieve. How could he give birth to such a stupid and evil daughter?

It was also because he was too indulgent and indulged her ignorant character!

Wang Xiuwan saw Lu Yong raise his hand again and hurried over to drag him away.

Lu Qingyue's eyes were red as she yelled, "Mom, just ask Dad to beat this shameless bitch to death. She's not my sister!"

Wang Xiuwan's eyes widened: "Prince Ding'an is just a man after all. You actually want to kill your sister for a man."

Lu Qingyue's face was ferocious, contrary to her usual gentle and quiet demeanor: "When she took the initiative to seduce Prince Ding'an, did she ever consider that I was her biological sister?"

The atmosphere was tense, as if a long-disguised mask was about to be torn off, and the air was also very gloomy.

Just then, a blue-green figure walked over slowly. It was Lu Qiaoxiao.

Lu Yong looked somewhat sorrowful, his voice filled with sorrow: "Qiao Xiao, did Prime Minister Shen know anything?"

This kind of family scandal will have an impact on the three daughters in the family. As the head of the family, he naturally understands the principle of sacrificing the car to save the driver.

The prime minister's son-in-law who has just been delivered to your doorstep should not be scared away by such a scandal.

Lu Qiaoxiao glared at the few people with cold eyes, his voice cold: "Dad, such a big commotion has been made. What kind of person is Chen Xiang? It would be difficult not to know."

Lu Yong looked dejected, staggered back two steps, and pointed at Wang Xiuwan and the others tremblingly.

"It's all your fault!"

Lu Qingyue stared at Lu Qiaoxiao with resentment in her eyes. Her smug look made people want to tear her face off.

Lu Xiuzhu has acted like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. Her goal has been achieved.

What does it have to do with her whether Lu Qiaoxiao marries the Prime Minister or not?

"Xiao'er, the Prime Minister likes you so much, why don't you talk to him again?" Lu Yong grabbed Lu Qiaoxiao's sleeve as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Lu Qiaoxiao glanced at Wang Xiuwan meaningfully, and she said slowly, "It's not that there is no way. Before coming to Xiuyue Tower, Prime Minister Chen did tell me a few things."

"What?" Even if it meant taking half of the wealth of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, he was willing to do so at this moment.

"Dad, I told you long ago that Shen Yuheng values ​​rules the most."

"The Yong'an Marquisate prospered for a hundred years, but now it has fallen to this state. This has a lot to do with my father."

Lu Qiaoxiao's words were cold, as if he was about to tear off the last mask of a loving father and a filial son.

"As I just said at the dinner table, Dad personally went to Qingcheng Mountain to bring Mom home in grand style. According to the rules of a legitimate daughter, marrying me into the Shen family will not be considered a loss to the Lu family's century-long glory."

Lu Yong's face was stiff, but under pressure from Prime Minister Chen, he could only nod his head repeatedly.

"As for my two sisters?" Lu Qiaoxiao walked slowly and came to Lu Xiuzhu first.

"I'll have to trouble Father and Concubine Wang to arrange for my third sister to marry into the Ding'an Palace."

"Dad, this matter cannot be delayed."

"Prime Minister Chen said that if it drags on, the daughter's reputation will be bad after all. He will help persuade Prince Ding'an to persuade Concubine Li not to embarrass her too much."

What Lu Qiaoxiao meant was that Lu Yong should shamelessly go to Prince Ding'an's mansion to ask for marriage.

Lu Qiaoxiao saw the distraught look in the eyes of the person in front of him, and felt refreshed in his heart.

He, Lu Yong, allowed his concubines to bully his mistress, causing his mother and children to be looked down upon by outsiders.

Where is he, the husband and the father?

"Qiao Xiao, your father is a descendant of a royal family, and you want him to go to Prince Ding'an and beg him to marry Xiuzhu?" Wang Xiuwan's eyes were red, and she pointed at Lu Qiaoxiao's nose and scolded him.

"If you do this, where will your father's reputation be? Where will the Lu family's reputation be?"

Wang Xiuwan's eyes were red and her tone seemed extremely heartbroken.

Lu Qiaoxiao pursed her lips and sneered: "Auntie, do you think there is a more appropriate solution than this?"

"The unmediated affair between Xiuzhu and Prince Ding'an is a fact. Do you have a way to make those who witnessed this scandal disappear, or do you have a way to silence them?"

"If this incident ruins our family's reputation and affects my marriage with Prime Minister Shen."

"Can you bear this responsibility?"
