Those who have a grudge against the Lu family have immediately started to grind ink and write memorials. In other words, this scandal of the Wei family will be exposed in the Golden Palace at the latest tomorrow.
Lu Tong was furious when he received the news. He really didn't expect that his good-for-nothing nephew could do such a thing.
If he wanted to kill his wife, son, and daughter, did he really have to make such a big fuss? Couldn't he use some quieter, less conspicuous means?
While cursing this idiot in his heart for causing trouble for his family, he had to patiently go and clean up the mess for Wei Heng's father.
His method of dealing with the aftermath was very simple. He called his eldest son and asked him to take the imperial physician and some capable servants and guards from their house to the Wei family to rescue people and maintain order.
His eldest son felt a headache when he heard this, but for the sake of the Lu family's reputation, he had to make this trip.
After reluctantly accepting the order, he took the invited imperial physician, as well as some servants and guards from their mansion, and went to the Wei Mansion in a grand manner.
He immediately sent the imperial physician to Wei Heng's mother to treat Wei Heng's mother and sister, and placed the guards outside Wei Heng's mother's yard.
A group of strong and tough guards stood there, especially since they were all from the main branch of the Lu family. Even if the servants of the Wei family had three iron heads, they would not dare to threaten to arrest or kill people.
They were pointed at with knives by the guards of the Lu family and retreated obediently to the empty yard next to them.
The two Lu family guards who stayed behind did not let them enter the room, and made them squat in the middle of the yard with their heads in their hands.
If you maintain this posture for a while, your legs will become numb and sore, so many people finally choose to sit down secretly.
The two guards of the Lu family did not intend to force them to squat. The task they received did not include torturing these evil servants. They only needed to watch these evil servants and prevent them from walking around.
As for the servants of the Lu family who were brought to the Wei family, they were responsible for taking care of Wei Heng's mother, sister, and the servants who came with Wei Heng's mother's dowry and were injured in the big fight in the afternoon, and taking care of all the trivial matters such as making and feeding medicine for them.
After arranging these things, Lu Tong's eldest son waved his hand coldly at Wei Heng amid his constant thanks, and then walked to Wei Heng's grandmother's yard.
He didn't really want to help Wei Heng and his mother and son. He even looked down on Wei Heng's father, his cousin who was more closely related to him, let alone his cousin Wei Heng.
Well, the more distant blood relationship is not the main reason. The main reason is that Wei Heng is too ordinary. Before today, this child has not shown any outstanding qualities.
Otherwise, he could help Wei Heng get rid of his worthless father for him.
After silently concluding that this family was completely rotten and no one was worth his attention, he stepped into Wei Heng's grandmother's yard.
He came to convey Lu Tong's stern warning to his cousin.
After meeting her, Lu Tong's eldest son relayed his father's words verbatim, "Aunt, my father said that if my cousin causes trouble like this again and brings shame to the Lu family, he will sever his brother-sister relationship with you."
Wei Heng's grandmother was sternly warned by him, and she fell down without any warning, holding her chest.
She was full of hope, thinking that her nephew from the next room was here to rescue her and her son from their predicament, but unexpectedly, he was here to threaten her.
The old lady felt very wronged.
What was her son's fault? He just wanted to pamper the women he liked more.
After being awakened by two sharp needles from the imperial physician, the old lady cried and begged her cousin, "Sanlang, your cousin was just momentarily confused. You and your father can't ignore us. My husband died at such a young age. It's not easy for us, an orphan and a widow."
Lu Tong's eldest son's eyes were full of annoyance. Every time his cousin asked the Lu family to do something for her, she would bring up the fact that her "husband died early". Every time her son got into trouble, she would cry and say that her son was "young and ignorant" and "just lost his mind for a moment."
But the problem is that no matter how much others pity this orphan and widow, such pity will definitely have a limit. Be it him, his father, or even his cousin's brothers and nephews, they will definitely not help this mother and son clean up the mess endlessly, especially now this mess will directly harm the interests of the Lu family.
He still had the same polite but cold demeanor as before when facing Wei Heng. "You've said this at least eight times, right? Do you think there's anyone in the clan who would still like to hear your words?"
The old lady was not convinced. She thought to herself, isn't it you and your son who have the final say in the Lu family?
Lu Tong's eldest son didn't care what the old lady thought. The only logic he believed in was that those who harmed the interests of the Lu family were not worthy of being protected by the Lu family.
Thinking of this, Lu Tong's eldest son sent his capable subordinates to investigate the matter.
When his subordinates found out that Wei Heng's younger sister was dragged and thrown into the lake by his vicious half-sister, Lu Tong's eldest son immediately suggested in a firm tone that Wei Heng's grandmother send Wei Heng's half-sister to a farm or a nunnery.
Wei Heng's grandmother was of course unwilling. Her illegitimate granddaughter was sweet-mouthed and treated her very well. She was much better than her youngest legitimate granddaughter. She was reluctant to give up her eldest granddaughter for the younger one.
Lu Tong's eldest son saw all her hesitation and reluctance, and was so angry that he could no longer maintain outward respect.
He asked the old lady, "Aunt, do you want the Wei family to become infamous so that no one will dare to marry into your family?"
"The sons of your Wei family favored concubines over their wives, even killing their legitimate wives, sons, and daughters for a concubine. Your Wei family's daughter, at such a young age, was so vicious that she dragged her legitimate sister into the lake. Afterwards, not only did you and your son not punish her, you even helped her clean up the mess and silenced her."
"Have you completely lost all your shame? Aren't you worried at all about people saying your Wei family is cold-blooded, heartless, inhumane, and disregards ethical principles, and is a den of tigers and wolves?"
His words made the old lady's face turn purple and she felt ashamed.
She rolled her eyes and fainted again in front of Lu Tong's eldest son.
Lu Tong's eldest son remained calm. He asked the imperial physician to give the old lady another acupuncture treatment. After she woke up, Lu Tong's eldest son brought up the past, "If there's no suitable place for my aunt to stay, it would be a good idea to just let her die."
The old lady's lips trembled. "I, I'd better send her to the farm."
