Lu Zeyi and Lu Zeyu instinctively protected their wives.
The Si family did not give them a chance to quickly control them.
Soon, Luo and Ye were pressed onto stools.
Lu Yuan showed no mercy and raised the whip in his hand and swung it hard at Luo.
"Eldest sister, don't."
It was too late, and a trail of blood was immediately left on Luo's back.
Luo was a delicate woman and fainted before she could even cry out in pain.
Lu Yuan raised his whip and swung it hard at Ye.
"ah!"
Screams echoed throughout the Jingshi Hall, and a bloody mark appeared on Ye's back.
The two brothers Lu Hangan and Lu Hankun were eager to save their mother. When Lu Yuan raised the whip for the second time, they broke free from their restraints and rushed towards their mother, holding her tightly under them.
The whip has no eyes, and Luo's second whip hit Lu Han's back hard.
Lu Han didn't even utter a cry of pain.
"Someone, pull the two young masters apart."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Han endured the severe pain and knelt in front of Lu Yuan, "Eldest sister, please forgive me for disturbing my mother. I am willing to pay my mother's debt with my life."
"Gan'er, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Zeyi roared.
Lu Hankun fell to his knees and said, "Sister, I'm also willing to trade my life for yours. Please show some mercy."
"Kun'er, it's mother's fault for not asking her." Ye didn't expect the situation to be like this today. They did that for the two brothers.
Lu Hankun's heart sank. His mother admitted it. "Mom, how can I watch you being punished?" She then looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Sister, I know that all of this evil is caused by us two brothers. We are the ones who committed the heinous crime. If you want to punish us, come to us."
"No, Kun'er, it's my mother's fault, and I will take the responsibility myself."
Lu Yuan's eyes were stung by the scene in front of him. Second and fourth aunts had done all kinds of bad things, yet their sons begged them to suffer for their crimes.
"Enough! I don't want to see you two being so loving and filial. You have the opportunity here today to be filial sons and bear the brunt of your mother's suffering, but I don't have that chance. It was your mother who deprived me of the right to be filial. She even tampered with my medicine, not wanting me to enjoy the happy life of a mother surrounded by children. Why should you ask me to fulfill your filial piety?"
When Lu Yuan said this, she was so angry that her body was shaking. Si Chuyu hurried forward to support her, help her breathe more, and coax her in a soft voice.
Lu Han, what the hell, Lu Hankun was speechless when he heard this. What kind of life has the eldest sister been living these years? They all saw it.
The eldest sister not only has to manage the huge family business, but also has to look for doctors to treat her younger sister Yaoer.
I haven't been in good health these years. If I don't have children by the age of 40, I may divorce my brother-in-law, and my life will become more and more difficult in the future.
But they never expected that the suffering that the eldest sister had endured over the years was actually caused by their mother.
The three masters were also speechless after listening to Lu Yuan's accusations. Their eldest niece had suffered a lot since she was a child following her eldest brother in business, especially after her eldest brother's death, it was really not easy for Lu Yuan.
"Yuan'er, it was Fourth Aunt who was confused back then. Fourth Aunt is willing to die as an apology. Please don't take your anger out on your two younger brothers."
"It's not about whether you're willing to die or not. You deserved to die anyway," Lu Yuan corrected him. "My eldest brother was brutally murdered by you right after he was born, and you even forced my mother to death. You must pay for your murder. Come, pull the two young masters apart. I want to personally avenge my mother and my two brothers."
"Eldest sister."
"Sister, please don't! Calm down." Lu Hankun struggled desperately to break free from the restraint of Wei Xiao and others.
When Lu Hangan saw Lu Yuan raising the whip with hatred in her eyes, he knew that his elder sister was serious and wanted to beat him to death.
"Brother-in-law, stop my eldest sister quickly. If she kills them today, she will go to jail."
Si Chuyu reacted instantly and reached out to snatch the whip from Lu Yuan's hand, "Yuan, calm down."
"Ayu, don't stop me. I must avenge my mother and two brothers with my own hands today." Lu Yuan turned around, picked up another whip on the Eight Immortals Table, and swung it directly at Ye.
“Ouch!”
The whip hit Si Chuyu's palm. Lu Yuan looked at the shocking whip marks on his palm with blood flowing out, feeling distressed and angry. "Ayu, are you stupid? Why did you stop me? They deserve to die."
Lu Yuan took the golden wound medicine from Wei Xiao and quickly applied it to Si Chuyu. "Does it hurt?"
"I'm not in pain. I'm strong. Second Aunt and Fourth Aunt deserve to die. They've already been punished by family discipline. All that's left is to hand them over to the government and let them deal with them according to Beiyi law."
Lu Zexu quickly agreed, "Yuan'er, what the uncle said is right. If you kill your second sister-in-law and your fourth brother's wife today, not only will you be criticized, but the entire Lu family business will be affected. You can't sacrifice yourself for their crimes. It's not worth it. And your eldest sister-in-law doesn't want to see you lose your mind because of hatred. She wants you to take good care of yourself and have your own children. She wants to see you two sisters happy."
Others followed suit to persuade him.
While Lu Yuan was bandaging Si Chuyu's wound, he listened to everyone's advice and gradually calmed down.
He glanced at the still unconscious Luo Shi and saw the bloodstains on her back, and the hatred in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.
However, she couldn't beat them both to death in front of her elders. As a merchant's daughter, she couldn't go against the laws of Beiyi.
"Ayu, let's do as you wish and send the two of them to the authorities."
Lu Han did it. Lu Hankun begged Lu Yuan to apply the golden wound medicine on them before letting Wei Xiao, Ling Xiao and others send them to the government.
After Si Chuyu helped Lu Yuan back to the room, food was delivered one after another.
"A Yuan, come and have your meal first. I'll handle the matter with the government. I'll make sure Second Aunt, Fourth Aunt, and the others receive the appropriate punishment."
Lu Yuan looked at the food in front of him without any appetite, "I'm afraid Second Aunt will be rescued by the Cui family."
"Don't worry, nothing like that will happen."
Lu Yuan frowned and said, "The Cui family is now at the peak of their power. Shouldn't it be easy for them to put pressure on the government?"
Si Chuyu said, "Just now when I came back, I met my second brother. I heard that the eldest prince's lineage was demoted some time ago, and the second prince, who was supported by the Cui Mansion in Kyoto, is said to be expected to be the crown prince. The Cui Mansion in Huayang County naturally has to be cautious. If they use their power to interfere with the government's investigation, it will give the Meng family a handle."
Lu Yuan only knew that the Meng family and the Cui family were sworn enemies, and he didn't know the twists and turns involved.
"Well, after we finish things here, we have to go back quickly. My godson will go to the county tomorrow. Will he miss us if he can't see you and me?"
Si Chuyu said: "You miss him, he must miss you too."
Lu Yuan thought about Su Ningjie's appearance, and sadness flashed in her eyes. "If only my two younger brothers were still alive..."
"A Yuan, the dead cannot be resurrected. We must look forward and cherish the people around us."
Lu Yuan nodded for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Quick, Ayu, take Madam Xu with you and go to the mass grave outside the city."
