Chapter 640: The Lu Family Apologizes
Princess Anyue was very angry and turned around to walk out. Lu An couldn't stop her.
When they arrived at the gate of the marquis' mansion, a sedan chair landed on the ground and a man with white hair and beard walked out of it. He was very old, but he was energetic, with a kind face, sharp eyes, and a majestic demeanor. He was the most authoritative person in the Lu family, Lord Lu.
When Princess Anyue saw him, she suppressed her impatience and anger and said respectfully, "Dad."
Elder Lu looked at her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Xuan'er was bullied by the Wu family mother and daughter as soon as he returned." Princess Anyue felt aggrieved. "I want to ask my brother to make a decision."
"Come in first." said Mr. Lu.
No matter what Princess Anyue wanted to do, Lu An couldn't stop her, but she was most afraid of her father-in-law. After hearing what Lu Ge Lao said, she could only suppress her anger and followed Lu Ge Lao into the mansion.
Entered the inner hall.
When Lu An heard that Lord Lu had arrived, he took his son and waited there.
Seeing him come in, he bowed with his son.
Lu Xuan hadn't seen Elder Lu for over a decade. He had only seen him when he was a child, and the impression he had left on him was one of fear. Lu Xuan patiently acted obediently and called out, "Grandfather."
Elder Lu looked at Lu Xuan. This grandson looked very much like Lu An. Lu An was his most beloved son and the one who had the most potential. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured and couldn't go to the battlefield...
He had originally placed high hopes on his grandson, but seeing how sickly he looked, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Why did you rush over to make a decision for him and find out what your son did?" asked Lord Lu.
Elder Lu's voice was calm, but it gave Princess Anyue an invisible pressure.
"Xuan'er, teach Wushan Nu a lesson. The mother and daughter of the Wu family are meddling in other people's business and even pulled Xuan'er off the sedan chair..." said Princess Anyue.
"Then do you know that he wanted to shoot Miss Wu in the street?!" Elder Lu's voice became a little colder.
Princess Anyue was stunned for a moment: "How could Xuan'er do such a thing..."
Elder Lu looked at Lu Xuan: "Lu Xuan, did you do it?"
Lu Xuan lowered his head, his hands clenched into fists. "My grandson was interrupted while teaching Wushan Nu for no reason. I was very angry and lost control of my temper... but I didn't hurt Miss Wu."
When Lu Xuan finished speaking, Princess Anyue and Lu An were both startled.
Princess Anyue didn't think it was a big deal. It was the young lady from the Wu family who was meddling in other people's business first. Besides, wasn't she injured?
Lu An knew that his father valued his reputation the most. Xuan'er's behavior in public that damaged the Lu family's reputation must have angered his father...
"Kneel down!" Lu An said.
Lu Xuan knelt down with his head lowered.
Princess Anyue was heartbroken, but she didn't dare to disobey her father-in-law, so she could only grit her teeth and watch.
"Dad, I will discipline Xuan'er well. As for the Wu family..." Lu An asked.
"Bring generous gifts to apologize," said Elder Lu. "Since the dispute was caused by Wushan Slave, give him to the Wu family!"
Lu Xuan lowered his head, anger accumulating in his eyes, on the verge of losing control. He gritted his teeth and endured it.
Wushan Slave was his favorite slave. The rest of the slaves would die after just a few hits, but Wushan Slave had an amazing ability to recover. No matter how hard he hit him, he would still be alive.
Why did he give Wushan slaves to the Wu family?!
"Lu Xuan, did you hear that?" asked Elder Lu.
Lu Xuan's teeth were chattering as he tried his best to suppress his anger.
"Grandson...knows...now."
"Don't do this again. This is the capital. Your every move is being watched. It represents the Lu family."
"yes."
Only then did Lord Lu leave.
After Lord Lu left, the depressing atmosphere in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion dissipated.
Princess Anyue quickly helped Lu Xuan up, and was shocked to see her son's pale face, distorted face, and madness in his eyes.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er," she called out twice, and hurriedly comforted him, "Are you tired? You've been traveling so long. We'll talk about making amends tomorrow. Go and rest first. Your yard is all tidied up."
When Lu Xuan entered the yard, his manic mood completely erupted.
"Go and bring the Wushan slave here." Lu Xuan ordered.
Soon, Wushan Slave was brought here.
Wushan Nu's eyes were dull, and he just curled up his body, waiting for the storm to come.
In an instant, the whip fell on him...
Outside the door, the servants trembled at the sound of the whip hitting flesh.
These servants had been serving Lu Xuan for many years. Princess Anyue said that Lu Xuan was used to their service and asked them to continue serving him when he returned to the mansion.
They knew best the cruelty and madness of the young master. He often went crazy and would beat people up when he did.
Before the Wushan slaves were brought in, bloody slaves were often carried out...
When Wushan Slave arrived, the young master vented all his anger on Wushan Slave.
The Wushan slaves did not utter a single scream, but they could imagine the pain and were trembling with fear.
Lu Xuan suddenly vented his anger and calmed down a lot. He had Wushan Nu taken away and lay on the bed, falling asleep with the smell of blood in the air.
The next day, morning.
Wuhou Mansion.
Tang Li was playing with the two babies. When he heard that someone had come to the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, he went to the front hall.
There, Pingyang Hou Lu An and Lu Xuan were waiting there.
After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, Lu An explained the purpose of his visit.
"Madam Wu, I was rude and offended you and the young lady. I have come here with you to apologize." Lu An said.
Pingyang Hou personally brought Lu Xuan to apologize. No matter what they thought in their hearts, this move was indeed sincere.
Tang Li glanced at Lu Xuan and said, "Yesterday, we saw someone being beaten in the street, so we intervened. Later, we heard that it was the young marquis teaching a slave a lesson, which surprised us quite a bit. After all, the Lu family has a clean and upright family tradition and treats their servants very gently. Elder Lu wouldn't even hurt an ant, so why is the young marquis so cruel? I originally thought it was someone impersonating him, but I didn't expect it to be the real young marquis."
After Tang Li finished speaking, she saw the little beast glaring at her fiercely while avoiding Lu An's eyes.
Tang Li knew that this little bastard would never admit that he was wrong. It was impossible to make him stop on his own. She said these words without worrying that this little bastard would hate her even more. After all, she had already been added to the list of people that this little bastard wanted to kill. To stop this little bastard from doing bad things again, the only way was to rely on the constraints of the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. Tang Li said these words in the hope that the Pingyang Marquis would strictly control him and prevent other innocent people from being harmed by him.
Lu An's face flushed. The Lu family's reputation had indeed been tarnished by his son. A father's reputation was what mattered most to him. It was fine to apologize the first time, but the second time... there couldn't be a second time!
He quickly said, "I will definitely discipline him strictly and will not let him do anything wrong again."
