Chapter 169 His father is a piece of trash
Pei was extremely disappointed with her eldest son, but she didn't show it to her two granddaughters and just smiled to comfort them.
"Don't worry, your father won't do anything stupid. It's not his turn to interfere in your marriage."
Even the old man Lu Jinchuan would not let his son do anything reckless, as he still has to save his dignity.
Even with Pei's assurance, the two sisters still felt nervous.
Marriage, marriage.
It would be great if I could stay single...
They cannot accept blind marriages, and even if they do find someone they love, they will still worry about whether the other person will take a concubine in the future.
And if it really comes to this, will they make a big fuss for their own persistence, or will they just swallow their anger for the sake of keeping things peaceful?
As long as they take a step back, as long as they retreat step by step, what awaits them will be an abyss.
Both of them felt heavy in their hearts. Although they had gradually adapted to this time and space, they still could not adapt to the polygamous marriage system.
"What's the matter? Are you worried that grandma can't help you, or have you encountered something else?"
Seeing that the two sisters looked very solemn, the smile on Pei's face also faded.
Lu Xinran wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lu Xinlan with a sidelong glance.
Now is not a good time to say this.
"Grandma, we are just a little sad and sighing. The case has made great progress today. We don't have to go out of the house all the time in the future."
She changed the topic to the case, causing Pei, who was still confused, to turn his attention away.
Lu Xinran's system helped with this matter, and it took nearly half a month.
She was really curious about who this murderer was.
Pei was curious, and the entire capital was watching.
He was very quick-witted. After discovering that Shuntian Prefecture had detained Lu Gaorong and Sun Qihang, he guessed that the case might be related to them.
But they will have to wait for further progress for the details.
Of course, the main reason was that Song Junyan only let in the Lu sisters, Cui Shenglin and Zhang Shuier.
All of these people left Shuntian Prefecture and went back to their homes. No one was hanging around outside. Even Cui Sheng's neighbors kept their mouths shut, making it impossible for anyone to get any information out.
Lu Gaorong's mother, Tian, has been running around for her son since she found out that he was in trouble.
He didn't even care about the Lu family and moved back to his mother's house. Whenever he had the chance, he would pester his father and brother, hoping that they would help him think of a solution.
Originally, her father still felt guilty for not being able to choose a good husband for his daughter, and he had been trying to find a way to make amends over the years. He would step in to resolve all the messes that Lu Gaorong had done.
But this matter is completely different from those.
The emperor is watching this, especially with that kid Lu Xinran here.
All the details will be explained clearly in the inner voice, leaving them no room for maneuver.
So it’s not that he doesn’t want to help his grandson, but he really can’t do anything about it.
Tian sat paralyzed on the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly.
"Dad, I only have this one daughter. You know how I've been living in the Lu family these years. You can't just ignore Gao Rong.
"His father is a loser, he can't be relied upon for anything, you are his only grandfather to rely on.
"Dad, you can't just ignore him. Aren't you forcing your daughter to commit suicide? If Gao Rong gets into trouble, your daughter won't live either."
Tian Liben was given a headache by her crying, and his face, which had originally been reluctant, gradually turned cold.
"Are you forcing me? Are you going to ignore the nearly one hundred people in the Tian family and drag us to be buried with that useless guy?
"I've already told you that Gao Rong will definitely cause a disaster if he doesn't restrain himself. What did you promise me at that time?"
When Tian Liben thought of his daughter's little thoughts at that time, his expression became even colder.
"If you were stupid enough to compete with your mother-in-law, how could we have the current situation? When Gao Rong was taken away by her, you had us to rely on. You could have gotten Gao Rong back by any means, but how did you do it?"
Because of the man she had misjudged, she cried every day and quarreled with her mother-in-law every day.
In the end, the couple became estranged, he lost his reputation, and his son got into trouble.
As he scolded her, Tian's crying became quieter and quieter. She sobbed and tried to defend herself, but when she met her father's stern gaze, her crying stopped.
"Go back to the Lu Mansion. I told you that His Majesty is paying attention to this matter, and the Fourth Prince is in charge. It is difficult for others to interfere in this matter. No matter what the final result is, you can only accept it. Do you understand?"
Tian left crying, feeling very angry. She started quarreling with her mother-in-law when she returned home. She was concerned about the relationship between her son and his mother-in-law and could not completely sever the relationship.
But at this moment, she could no longer care about anything else. Lu Gaorong had not yet reached a final decision, but she had already made her mother-in-law so angry that she fell ill.
There was a big commotion at the Lu family, and there was also a commotion at the Sun family as well.
Sun Qihang's aunt almost fainted after hearing the message sent back by the servant.
She hurriedly dressed and asked someone to invite Sun Tianhe. This was their most precious son and she must not let anything happen to him. She also could not let the Yue family laugh at her!
Lu Xinran had not expected that their major discoveries in the past few days would cause a commotion in several mansions related to Lu Gaorong and Sun Qihang.
She now only cares about when this case can be closed and when she can get her life points back.
The system is eagerly awaiting settlement.
For such a sensational and tortuous case, not settling a year's worth of life is likely due to a serious bug in the system.
In the following days, they did not leave the house again.
But all the progress was delivered by people specially sent by Song Junyan and Cui Shenglin.
It is understandable that Song Junyan asked Ding Wu to deliver the message. After all, if it weren't for Lu Xinran's system, this case would have become an unsolved case and Sun Qihang would have been allowed to go unpunished.
He received help from Lu Xinran and wanted to accept the favor.
So he knew they would be paying attention to the progress, and he would have someone send him new information.
But Cui Sheng was so flattering to the two sisters here that Pei couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
After all, her precious granddaughters are all of marriageable age.
A daughter is sought after by all families, and her granddaughters are all the best.
