Chapter 36 Thirteenth Concubine 4
Chapter 4
Lu Bingcheng finally came back.
Mr. Lu's health was getting worse day by day. After two years of holding on, he was already at the end of his strength.
In two years, Qi Qi has become more handsome, with a handsome appearance and a slim figure. Although he is only fifteen years old, he already has some charm.
The first time Lu Bingcheng saw Qi Qi, he was completely attracted to him. He didn't even hear his fiancée Chen Xiuwan calling him from behind.
Chen Xiuwan looked at Qi Qi warily. She was a slightly childish girl wearing a figure-hugging cheongsam. Her eyes, which should have been clearly black and white, instead had the experience of an adult.
She subconsciously began to hate Qi Qi.
Qi Qi walked over and greeted Lu Bingcheng, "Bingcheng, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Qi Qi turned to look at Chen Xiuwan and said in an elder's tone, "This is Xiuwan, right? Master was just saying that it's time for you two to get married. Has Master Chen said what date you want to set?"
Chen Xiuwan took a step back, avoiding Qi Qi's enthusiastic hand-holding. She blamed herself and thought that she shouldn't have treated Qi Qi as a bad person. She really shouldn't have brought her own emotions into this sincere approach.
Chen Xiuwan was forced to stop retreating and stretched out her hand. Before she could say sorry, her hand was immediately grabbed by Qi Qi.
"Follow me!" Qi Qi took Chen Xiuwan's hand and put Lu Bingcheng behind him.
Soon, they arrived at Mr. Lu's room.
Mr. Lu's health is getting worse day by day. The eldest wife has been taking care of him personally recently, and her condition is not good either.
Although Mr. Lu is in poor health, he is still very eloquent.
When the eldest wife saw Chen Xiuwan come in, her eyes lit up.
After being punished by Mr. Lu two years ago, she realized that her letters could not leave the Lu family.
Although she refused to accept her fate, she just endured it. When Master Lu died and her son became the head of the Lu family, her good days returned.
Waited for two years.
Finally, the son came back.
The eldest wife threw away the sackcloth and reached out to grab Chen Xiuwan, but unfortunately Qi Qi was quick-witted and took Chen Xiuwan aside.
When the eldest wife saw Qi Qi, a look of fear flashed across her eyes.
She had suffered too much at the hands of Qi Qi, and her attitude towards him had changed from arrogance to unwillingness to deal with him.
"Bingcheng is outside." Qi Qi saw what the eldest wife wanted. She pulled Chen Xiuwan and walked to Master Lu's bedside and introduced her, "Master, this is Xiuwan, the one you arranged for the eldest young master to marry. Look, she's grown into a beautiful girl now."
Mr. Lu raised his cloudy eyes and looked Chen Xiuwan up and down.
She was a lady from a noble family, well-looking, and was destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.
only……
Qi Qi helped Mr. Lu sit up, and the eldest wife led Lu Bingcheng in.
Qi Qi leaned close to Master Lu's ear and whispered, "Master, the eldest young master looks nothing like you. Look, he has cut his hair short, and he looks more energetic!"
Mr. Lu reached out, grabbed the diaper, and threw it in the direction of Lu Bingcheng.
The joy of seeing his son disappeared in an instant.
The first wife cheated on him, and his son looks different from himself. Is he his own child?
This is also the reason why he hesitated for two years before letting Lu Bingcheng come back.
After hearing Qi Qi's words, he became even more angry.
It was just a suspicion at first, but the fact that Lu Bingcheng didn't look like him almost confirmed that Lu Bingcheng was not his child.
It's a pity that he doesn't even have a child, and his huge family business will be handed over to this pair of jackals and tigers.
As Mr. Lu thought about it, tears began to fall uncontrollably.
He covered his eyes and cried breathlessly.
Qi Qi said, "Madam, please come and take care of the master. He is crying."
Qi Qi stood up and gave up his seat.
The eldest wife said: "My son just came back, I have to take care of him!"
"Mom!" Lu Bingcheng said, "Dad is sick, you should take care of him. I'm fine, I can take care of myself."
The eldest wife's breath was stuck in her throat. She smiled stiffly, walked to Mr. Lu, and put the diaper into the basin to wash with disgust.
Seeing the eldest wife's aggrieved expression, Master Lu felt much better and instructed Qi Qi, "You'd better make good arrangements for Bingcheng."
Qi Qi nodded, walked to the door, and waved to Lu Bingcheng, "Bingcheng, I'll take you to your room."
Lu Bingcheng followed him.
Chen Xiuwan is still behind!
Chen Xiuwan looked at the angry eldest wife and Mr. Lu, who was unable to move but had a comfortable expression.
Looking at Lu Bingcheng, whose soul had been seduced by Qi Qi, he stomped his feet in anger.
What is going on?
Qi Qi arranged Lu Bingcheng to a courtyard not far from Master Lu.
"Master, I now live in your former courtyard. I'll have your collection of books delivered to you later." Qi Qi sighed. "I've been hoping that you could take charge of the situation. After all, you're an international student, well-educated, and definitely better than a little girl like me."
Lu Bingcheng raised his chin arrogantly, glancing at Qi Qi from the corner of his eyes. "This is as it should be. After all, I will inherit the Lu family in the future."
"But..." Qi Qi sighed and said worriedly, "It seems that Miss Chen doesn't want to marry you, young master. This... the master has always hoped that you can get married and start a family!"
Lu Bingcheng snorted, “How could she not want to marry me? She is thinking about it!”
He said disdainfully, "She could have chased me to study abroad. If not, I would have only seen the Chen family's good background and her constant pursuit of me. Otherwise, how could I have fallen for her?"
Qi Qi said doubtfully, "But just now when I mentioned the young master and her marriage, she seemed..."
Lu Bingcheng sneered, "She's waiting for me to propose to her!"
Qi Qi was puzzled, "You proposed to her?"
"After two years of schooling, she's already forgotten the rules of our ancestors. She's delusional and wants me to propose to her like a new generation of young people. What a joke! If I propose to her, where will my face be, and where will the face of our Lu family be!"
Qi Qi nodded, "That's right. If the young master wants to get married, many women will chase after him. How could he chase after just one woman?"
Lu Bingcheng looked at Qi Qi, opened his mouth, and then closed it again. After a long moment, he hesitantly asked, "What about you? Do you want to marry me too?"
Qi Qi's face immediately turned red.
She did not answer Lu Bingcheng's words. "Master, you are very talented. I live in your yard and often see the poems you write. I have never seen them before! Master, you can also go abroad to study and must have seen a wider world, but I..."
Qi Qi sighed, "Master, you should have a good rest. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Qi Qi left without waiting for Lu Bingcheng's reaction.
Lu Bingcheng laughed out loud.
Qi Qi's evasive remarks have already explained everything; the Thirteenth Concubine also likes him.
When Lu Bingcheng thought that such a woman liked him, his heart softened.
Qi Qi walked out of the archway and turned the corner. Chen Xiuwan was standing there with a pale face.
Qi Qi said: "I'm sorry!"
Chen Xiuwan smiled bitterly, "What have you done to me? It's my fault. I thought my sincerity could be exchanged for his sincerity, but I didn't expect that he would actually see me like this."
"In this world, sincerity won't always be reciprocated with sincerity." Qi Qi raised the corner of his mouth and walked towards Master Lu's yard.
Chen Xiuwan said: "Do you want to leave here?"
She was ashamed of her initial hostility towards Qi Qi.
To make up for it, she wanted to take Qi Qi away.
The Lu family is a cage. She is so young and shouldn't be trapped here for the rest of her life.
Chen Xiuwan said, "I have two tickets to go abroad. I originally wanted to... wait until Lu Bingcheng and I get married, then take him to see a new world and find a way to save our country. But... he probably doesn't want to go. His family and his property are here."
Chen Xiuwan smiled bitterly and clenched her ticket. "Nowadays, warlords are separatist and wars are breaking out all over the country. The Qingguo government has no way to resolve the chaos. I want to go far away and find a way to save the country!"
Qi Qi was stunned for a long time, then she smiled and nodded, "Okay, can you come pick me up in three days?"
"Three days?"
Qi Qi hummed, "I still have some things to deal with. Once I'm done, let's go together, okay!"
Chen Xiuwan nodded, turned around and left without any hesitation.
She thought Lu Bingcheng was her soul mate, so she kept pursuing him. Even when she realized something was wrong, she was unwilling to let go.
But after seeing Lu Bingcheng's true character, she no longer had any reason to hesitate.
Since he was ready to leave, Qi Qi couldn't leave empty-handed.
During the past two years of war, almost all of the Lu family's property was converted into gold.
Qi Qi took the key, collected all the gold bars, and paid a year's wages to the maids and servants.
Those who sold their indentures were set free.
The eldest wife didn't know that things were about to change in the mansion.
When her son came back, she was determined to kill Mr. Lu and let her son inherit the family business.
Lu Bingcheng was 90 percent sure about inheriting the family business and was not in a hurry at all.
What he is anxious about now is how to win the heart of Thirteenth Concubine.
"Master, I know you are sincere to me, but Master..."
Lu Bingcheng finally found an opportunity to be alone with Qi Qi. It had only been two days, but he was already anxious and couldn't help wanting to be intimate with Qi Qi.
Qi Qi refused, of course. "Master, please don't do this. The old man is not in good health. Please don't make him angry!"
Lu Bingcheng waved his hand, "What are you afraid of? My mother has wanted my father to die for a long time. She has even prepared the drug."
Lu Bingcheng looked indifferent. In his opinion, Mr. Lu was already so ill that it made no difference whether he died or not.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Master? How could the eldest wife possibly want to kill the master?"
"It's all because of you, little bitch. You wanted to harm me and my son, you wanted to seize our property, and you tricked the master into leaving nothing for Bingcheng."
"Mom, why are you here?"
Lu Bingcheng turned around to look at the first wife and quickly moved away from Qi Qi.
Qi Qi looked at the master who was struggling on the bed, "What are you doing? Has the master been good to you? How dare you treat him like this?"
The eldest wife laughed out loud, "When he doesn't want to leave the family property to Bingcheng, he is no longer my husband!"
Qi Qi said bitterly, "But the reason why the master doesn't like you is because you have a secret meeting with an actor!"
Qi Qi looked at Lu Bingcheng, "Besides, the young master is not the master's child!"
"You're talking nonsense!" the eldest wife shouted, "How is that possible? Bingcheng is the master's child!"
Lu Bingcheng was shocked.
The eldest wife didn't care about anything else and stepped forward to strangle Qi Qi's neck, but just as she stretched out her hand, a group of soldiers with guns rushed in from outside.
They quickly pushed the eldest wife to the ground and then held Lu Bingcheng down.
Qi Qi cried and said, "Everyone, you are finally here. The eldest wife and the young master want to murder the master. You must stand up for the master."
The leading adjutant laughed and said, "Don't worry, we all know Thirteenth Concubine's patriotism. She will definitely not let anyone bully the Lu family."
A group of people came in a mighty procession and left in a mighty procession.
Mr. Lu lay on the bed, gasping for breath and cursing. He waited for a long time, but no one came to serve him.
I don’t know how long it took, but more soldiers came and brought the first wife and Lu Bingcheng with them.
Lu Bingcheng was beaten until his body was covered in blood and flesh. The first wife was better off, but her face was also swollen.
She lay on the edge of the bed and cursed, "You old fool, you gave all your family fortune to that little bitch Sister Hua, and she donated it to the warlord. Now she and Chen Xiuwan have gone abroad, and we have nothing!"
Lu Bingcheng was shocked and his eyes were dull.
A few days ago, he was the young master of the Lu family who had a fiancée and admirers, but today he has become a prisoner and has to take care of his paralyzed father.
Mr. Lu's eyes went dark, his chest churned, and he grunted and spat out a pool of blood on the bedside.
Just as Lu Bingcheng was about to call for a doctor, his arm was immediately held down by the first wife, "Let him die. If he lives, he will only bring trouble to us!"
Lu Bingcheng stared blankly at Master Lu's hideous body twisting, and soon he was dead.
Before Lu Bingcheng and the first wife could breathe a sigh of relief, someone kicked open the door, took a look at the bed, and said, "Master Lu is dead, these two are buried with him!"
The eldest wife and Lu Bingcheng were so frightened that they fell to the ground and peed their pants.
The soldiers did not hesitate at all.
This was what Sister Hua had agreed on before she donated the money. As long as Mr. Lu is alive, these two people will live one more day. When Mr. Lu dies, these two will be buried with him.
