"Go tell the young master quickly that the master is back!"
After giving the order, Yun Zhou quickly helped Lu Zeyi down from the carriage.
"Master, where have you been? The eldest young master is so worried and is waiting to have a midnight snack with you."
Lu Zeyi felt mixed emotions when he heard this, as he didn't have much time left to dine with his godson.
"Ganser is a good boy, but I am not a good father."
Yun Zhou was very surprised when he saw Lu Zeyi entering the yard. What happened to his master?
"Old Li, where did the master go today?"
"Huh? ...I don't know either."
The driver, Old Li, fell asleep while driving for unknown reasons, and when he woke up, it was dark.
Yun Zhou looked at Lao Li's confused expression and was very annoyed. "Next time, switch with Xiao Zhang."
At this time, Lu Zeyi's voice came from behind, "Yunzhou! Send someone to invite the Fourth Master and Young Master Kun into the mansion tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir!"
"Brother Xiao, Master Lu Er wouldn't play any tricks, would he?"
Ling Xiao glanced at the gate of Lu's residence, "He wouldn't dare! You two go in and keep a close eye on him."
"yes!"
Afterwards, Ling Xiao arranged for people to secretly monitor Lu Zeyu's residence overnight.
"Dad, next time you go out, could you please tell me your whereabouts? I... I'm not trying to control you, but... I'm worried about your safety. Also, you should bring more people with you when you go to the Cui Mansion next time..."
Lu Han has been inexplicably feeling uneasy these past few days, as if something big is going to happen.
"Okay! Dad promises you." Lu Zeyi said as he drank the ginseng soup that Lu Hangan handed over to him.
"Go'er, what kind of person do you think your father is?"
Lu Han was a little surprised. Why did his father suddenly ask this question?
"Dad, you are naturally a good father who only cares about me."
"What about your mother?"
"Mother is naturally the one who dotes on me and loves me."
Lu Zeyi thought for a moment, "If your mother did something wrong and caused you to be unable to take the imperial examination, would you blame her or hate her?"
Lu Han shook his head without hesitation. "That's my mother, the one who gave birth to me. How could I blame or hate her? It's okay that I couldn't take the imperial examination, but the mistakes made by mother and fourth aunt have caused the eldest wife to suffer so much over the years!"
"Especially Hanyu, he has never met his uncle and aunt, while my brother Kun and I have been raised by our parents since we were little. I feel very sorry for Hanyu and the first wife. Although we have separated now, my brother Kun and I will protect Hanyu in the future and try our best to make it up to him. No matter how much we try to make amends, we can't undo the damage we have caused to the first wife..."
Lu Zeyi felt sad and painful in his heart. The evil deeds done by his parents had caused his child to suffer so much.
What Si Chujin said tonight was very true. He didn't think of his son when he killed people and smuggled iron ore. Now that the disaster is imminent, he thinks of his son.
It's indeed a bit late.
He's such a bastard!
"Godson, this is all our parents' fault. It has nothing to do with you. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your mother has been sentenced by the government, which is the price she paid for what she did. Now your elder sister is pregnant, and your younger sister Yao'er is learning skills from a female teacher. It won't be long before she meets her ideal husband. Although Hanyu has never seen his biological parents, he is very happy and doted on by his adoptive parents. The eldest wife's life will also get better and better. You should be happy for them."
Lu Han said, "You're right. I want to be happy for them."
"You just said that you and Brother Kun will protect Hanyu in the future?"
"right!"
Lu Zeyi said seriously, "A gentleman's word is as good as gold. You must not break your promise."
"Dad, am I the kind of person who goes back on his word?!"
"Okay, very good."
After the words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment.
After a moment, Lu Zeyi opened his mouth:
"Goss..."
Lu Hangan saw that Lu Zeyi's tone had changed, "Dad, what's wrong?"
When the day came for his clan to be exterminated and his family to be severed, the only thing he could hide was the death of his eldest brother. The iron ore smuggling incident could not be concealed. "...If Dad did something wrong, would you forgive him?"
When Lu Han heard this, the inexplicable uneasiness he had been feeling in recent days suddenly lingered in his heart.
For his father to ask this tonight, he must have done something irreversible.
This matter must be related to the eldest wife of the Lu family.
Seeing the expectation and fear in his eyes, Lu Han said, "Dad, you and Mom are my biological parents. No matter what you did, right or wrong, I am still your son. I will not disown you just because you did something wrong..."
Lu Han paused, then changed the subject and asked sincerely, "Tell me what it is, and I'll work with you to find a way to fix it and minimize the damage!"
Lu Zeyi felt a lump in his throat and felt relieved in his heart that his son had grown up and could help share his burden.
"Godson, it's Dad who has harmed you, harmed you..."
Lu Hangan was heartbroken. This was the first time he had seen his father cry. He quickly walked over and touched Lu Zeyi's back, comforting him, "Dad, how could you hurt me? No matter what it is, I will face it with you because I am your son. Now, stop crying. The servants will laugh at you."
Half a cup of tea later, Lu Zeyi calmed down and told Lu Hangan about his collusion with the Cui family to smuggle iron ore.
"Dad, you are confused!"
Lu Han never thought that his father was so wrong. This was a capital crime punishable by death and extermination of the entire family!
"Does the Cui family know that the Si family has discovered this?"
“I don’t know yet!”
"Don't go to the Cui family for the next two days. We can't let them know about this. If the Si family knows about this, they will naturally expose it. We can't let our branch implicate the entire Lu family. What we need to do is to quickly sever ties with the family. I wonder if this can save the entire Lu family? Is it too late to sever ties with the family now?"
Lu Zeyi was very surprised that his godson did not go astray despite the guidance of him and his wife!
"Gan'er, do you know that doing this is equivalent to killing both father and son? Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. I'm your son and I'm going to face it with you!"
Lu Zeyi felt extremely complicated at this moment. Not only did his son blame him, but he also wanted to die with him!
"Son, it's your father who committed the crime. You are innocent. I plan to adopt you to your third uncle so that you won't be implicated. You must live well."
"Dad, how could I be so afraid of death? I am your son and I must face it together with you."
Lu Zeyi said, "You said just now that you would protect Hanyu together with Kun Ge'er in the future. You can't break your promise! You can't be someone who goes back on his word!"
"I……"
Only then did Lu Han realize that his father had just set a trap for him!
"This is Daddy's only wish. Godson, you must promise Daddy that you will live well and be filial to your uncle and aunt..."
Lu Han somehow returned to his room and lay on his bed in a daze.
When a tear fell from the corner of his eye to the corner of his lips, he knew that he would soon be without a father and a mother.
At this moment, he seemed to understand how Lu Han and Yu Dang felt when they found out that they had no biological parents.
It's very sad...
