"What...what do you want to do?"
When Chen Ji saw Nuan Yu coming in with a fire poker, he couldn't help but twitch.
"Go away! I'm a good citizen. Lynching is against the law!"
"Then go ahead and sue me!" Lu Yao walked in, looked at the miserable Chen Ji huddled in the corner, and sneered, "You said a madman beat you to death. Do you think the government will arrest me?"
Chen Ji was shocked. If he was beaten to death by a madman in this house, what would happen to his family?
After a brief thought, Chen Ji begged for mercy and admitted his defeat. "Second Miss, please spare my life. This was all arranged by your second and fourth uncles. I was just following orders. Please be magnanimous and spare my life!"
"Bang!"
“Ouch!”
Nuan Yu hit Chen Ji's right shoulder hard with a stick.
The wound on his right arm had not healed yet, and the pain from the blow was so severe that Chen Ji burst into tears.
I secretly hated you in my heart: When I get out, I will make sure you, this slut, will be punished.
As if she knew what he was thinking, Nuanyu hit Chen Ji with a few more blows...
Chen Ji was completely honest. "Don't hit me, I was wrong. I beg the Second Miss to forgive me. I was bewitched by the devil. I ate the Lu family's food and didn't respect the people who gave me the food. I deserve this beating!"
"stop!"
Lu Yao looked down at Chen Ji lying on the ground. "I have something to ask you. You must tell the truth, or you will die here!"
"Second Miss, please feel free to ask me. I will tell you the truth and will not lie."
Lu Yao said, "That's the best way. If I find out you're lying, I won't let you off the hook. When my mother had a difficult birth, were my second and fourth uncles involved?!"
"No! The Second and Fourth Masters don't care about the affairs of the rear house."
Lu Yao frowned: "Did they really not know about this beforehand?"
"Second Miss, I swear to God, if I lie, I will die miserably. The two masters really don't know anything."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Lu Yao continued, "That year, our eldest family was truly unfortunate. First, my father died, and then my mother suffered a difficult childbirth. My mother's persecution was intentional by my second and fourth aunts. Do you think my father's death wasn't an accident, but was deliberately persecuted?"
Chen Ji was shocked. "No! That was an accident, Master. Your brother-in-law sent people to investigate carefully. It is true that Master encountered pirates. You can go back and ask your brother-in-law."
Wei Xiao, who was guarding outside the door, felt his brows twitching. The Second Young Lady actually asked about the Eldest Master!
If his son-in-law hadn't made other arrangements, he wouldn't have been able to resist going in and telling the truth.
"Is it really just an accident? It wasn't the work of my second and fourth uncles?!" Lu Yao looked at Chen Ji suspiciously.
Ever since she regained consciousness, the thought that her father's death might not have been an accident kept popping up in her mind.
"Second Miss, why do you miss your second and fourth uncles so much? The eldest master was indeed an accident. Before you were nine years old, you should have known that your father had a good relationship with your three uncles. The entire Lu family was full of joy. You were the youngest child in the family, and you were spoiled by the whole family."
Lu Yao thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. "That's right! It's exactly as you said, but everything changed when I was nine years old."
Chen Ji said, "Second Miss, to tell you the truth, it's because the eldest master is gone. The second and fourth masters saw that your eldest sister was in full control of the Lu family's assets, and that the position of head of the Lu family would be passed to your eldest sister in the future. They were somewhat unwilling to accept this and felt it was unfair. They wanted to divide the family assets equally, which led to what happened last night. They wanted to imprison you two so that they could get more of the family assets from your eldest sister."
Lu Yao thought about what happened last night. Her second and fourth uncles hesitated at the critical moment, and they still had some conscience.
If they dared to kill their father, they would also dare to kill my eldest sister.
She's just a crazy girl, can't we just deal with her at will?
"I will believe you for now. If I find out you are lying, you will die miserably!"
"Second Miss, I guarantee with the lives of my family that I will never lie."
"Okay, you can go now!"
Lu Yao then instructed, "Nuanyu, take your men and clean up the vacant rooms in the east courtyard. The Su family will be here the day after tomorrow."
"Yeah, okay!"
Chen Ji sneered in his heart as he watched the master and servant leaving.
It’s been almost seven years since this happened, and even if we want to investigate, we can’t find any clues!
However, the second master still softened his heart!
Otherwise, the entire Lu family would belong to him, and the situation of family division would not have ended up like this today.
Being soft-hearted will not accomplish anything great!
Chen Ji left the hot spring villa humming a little tune.
Wei Xiao and Ling Xiao exchanged a glance and quietly followed.
Two kilometers away from the hot spring villa, Chen Ji was hooded and stuffed into a sack and sent to the Si family compound...
"Miss, something big has happened!"
Nanxiang walked into the room with an excited look on her face, her lips almost raised to the sky.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan frowned, "What big thing happened? Why are you so happy?"
"The Second Master and the Fourth Master have returned with their respective Young Masters, Young Master Kun, and are packing up in their respective courtyards to move out."
"Moving out?" Lu Yuan thought of a possibility. "Is it a family split?"
"That's right. I saw the Third Master go to the government office with the documents. I learned from the Third Master's attendant that the second and fourth rooms must move out before noon tomorrow."
Lu Yuan was not very happy when he heard this. Instead, he felt a little worried. It was impossible for his grandfather to write the documents for dividing the family so quickly.
Something must have happened?
"Go and guard the gate of the mansion. Ask Third Uncle to come over when he comes back."
The noise from the second and fourth rooms soon reached Su Ningjie's ears.
"Wei Ying, go find out if they did anything in Shili Langyao that angered Grandfather and made him unhappy?"
