Lu Zheng returned to the Duke of Ying's Mansion, but felt that the atmosphere at home was a little strange. He returned to Zhutanju and found that only Jixiang and a few maids were tidying up the house. He did not think too much about it, but just asked one more question: "Is Liuzhi still sleeping?"

Jixiang smiled and said: "How is that possible? She is not feeling well, so she went out to get some medicine."

Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment and found that Jixiang's face was a little red. He immediately realized that these were the days every girl has every month. He coughed and did not ask any more questions.

At this time, a little maidservant beside my mother came outside and said timidly, "Third Young Master, the Madam wants you to go to the main hall."

Lu Zheng nodded, "I know, I'll go after changing my clothes."

Ji Xiang brought the clothes over, and Lu Zheng hurriedly took them and walked towards the inner room, but found that Ji Xiang had followed him, so he hurriedly said, "No need for you to serve me, I can change myself."

Ji Xiang smiled and said, "I know that Young Master loves me, but this is my duty, and I dare not refuse."

Lu Zheng was a little confused. When he said this in the past, Ji Xiang and Jin Lu would obediently retreat, but he didn't know why Ji Xiang was sick today. He shook his head, "You can go down."

Ji Xiang's eyes seemed to be strange for a moment, But soon she smiled and said, "Since the young master doesn't want me to serve you, I will go downstairs. But I made some cakes. Would you like to try them?"

Lu Zheng nodded.

Ji Xiang went downstairs.

Lu Zheng changed his clothes and something fell out of his clothes. He picked it up and found that it was the token given to him by Jian Yu. Then he remembered that he forgot to return the token to Jian Yu.

Lu Zheng sighed, put the token back in his arms, and went out to the main hall.

In the main hall, the Duke Ying and his wife were all there, as well as his eldest brother and second sister. Lu Zheng felt a little strange, but he still greeted the elders obediently.

"I wonder what mother wants me to do?" Lu Zheng asked respectfully.

Yun Shi didn't say anything. Lu Qing glanced at his wife and didn't say anything either.

Finally, it was Lu Wanxin who broke the deadlock: "Third brother, you just came back?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "Prince Chu went to arrest Su Yiyunge and I went to the Ministry of Justice." He looked at Lu Che with some doubt, but found that Lu Che was looking at the ground with a serious expression.

"Third brother is really promising." Lu Wanxin said this, but there was no further follow-up.

Lu Zheng thought his second sister's tone was a little strange. Just when he was about to say something, Yun slammed the table and stood up, "Yes! He has made it! Not only is he famous in Yanjing, but even Concubine Gui and Concubine Zhuang have sent people to ask him. If my son is really that successful, I will naturally agree happily, but how can I know what is inside this skin?!"

These words were like thunder from a clear sky, and everyone's face changed, but Lu Zheng, the person involved, remained calm. As early as when the King of Chu revealed this secret, he knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when this day really came, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Lu Che looked at Yun: "What is mother talking about? This is obviously my third brother."

Lu Wanxin spoke before Yun: "What are you talking about, big brother? We watched my third brother grow up. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"Wanxin, why are you making trouble here?" Lu Che's face darkened, "Mother is confused, and you are also here to stir up trouble?"

"I think you are confused!" Yun said angrily, "Wan Xin is right, I carried the baby for ten months, don't I know who he is?"

At this time, the British Duke Lu Qing, who had not spoken, said: "It is normal for children to grow up and have some changes?"

Yun shook her head stubbornly: "My Zheng'er likes to play, but he is a filial and good child. Even if you think he has no future, he is also a piece of flesh and blood that fell from my body. , you think he has just changed, but I think he is obviously not my child!"

Lu Qing advised: "He was ignorant before and was always causing troubles every day. Now he is sensible and motivated, but you are not satisfied?"

Yun sneered: "Sensible? You used to shout and kill your son, but now this monster has made progress, you wish he was your own child! People say that the Duke of England is indifferent to fame and fortune, but I want to show them your face!"

"Enough!" Lu Qing also got angry, "What do you want to say?"

Yun directed the spearhead at the eldest son: "Lu Che, tell me honestly, did you know it a long time ago?"

Lu Che was silent for a long time before he slowly nodded.

Yun sneered again: "Look, look! This is the son I gave birth to!" She said angrily, "But you chose to hide it for him? Your third brother has admired you since he was a child, and he dared not disobey you. Is this how you treat him? Where is your brotherhood? Your blood is cold! Are your bones ice?!"

Lu Che could not stand such questioning and defended himself: "Mother, this is clearly the body of my third brother. Didn't you send someone to check it?"

This time, even Lu Zheng, who had been silent, couldn't help but cast his eyes on Lu Che.

Yun's heart was completely cold. She slowly sat down against the table and whispered, "Lu Che, if he had no ability, would you still protect him so much?"

After being questioned so harshly by his mother, Lu Che finally couldn't say the words that went against his will.

Lu Zheng didn't know how to describe his mood. He seemed a little uncomfortable, but also a little relieved. At this moment, the shackles in his heart seemed to be suddenly opened, but he didn't feel relieved, but a kind of confusion. He thought he could slowly accept these family members, but now he understands that his mother doesn't treat him as a son, and his brother may not treat him as a younger brother. The warmth he once felt seems to be an illusion.

Lu Zheng didn't know how he got back to Zhutanju. He was in a daze like a puppet, but his steps unconsciously returned here. This was the most familiar place after he traveled through time, but it didn't seem to belong to him.

Ji Xiang seemed a little surprised to see him come back, but still smiled and said, "Master, the snacks are steamed. Do you want to eat now?"

Lu Zheng didn't know what Ji Xiang said at all, he just nodded stupidly.

Ji Xiang responded and went to the small kitchen, and then brought in a basket of snacks. She put down the basket, took four colored plates, and placed the snacks one by one.

There are all kinds of mung bean cakes, which are made of glutinous rice and mung bean flour in a square shape, with a piece of rice leaf underneath. The dark green rice leaf is topped with light green cakes, which is very refreshing; there are all kinds of chestnut cakes, which are made of steamed chestnuts kneaded into paste, wrapped with a layer of pastry skin and rolled in oil. The skin is crispy and slightly yellow, while the chestnut paste inside is soft and delicious; there are all kinds of lotus seed cakes, which are delicate, sweet and smooth. The white cakes are drizzled with a layer of sugar-soaked osmanthus, which gives off a rich fragrance. The last one is the jujube paste and yam cake that is always available in the palace.

If Lu Zheng noticed, he would find that this was exactly the same snack that Ji Xiang made for him the first time.

Ji Xiang stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Lu Zheng's mouth, and Lu Zheng blankly reached for the snack, picking up the lotus seed cake just like the first time he ate it.

Ji Xiang watched from the side, slowly revealing a weird smile.

At this moment, a figure broke in and knocked the chopsticks out of Lu Zheng's hand. Lu Zheng was so scared that he came to his senses and found that the person standing in front of him was Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi looked haggard, her clothes were messy, and stained with dust and dirt, and there were faint purple bruises on her wrists.

Lu Zheng hurriedly asked: "Liu Zhi, what's wrong with you?" Liu Zhi

shook her head and said anxiously: "Master, you haven't eaten yet?"

Lu Zheng shook his head in confusion.

Liu Zhi seemed to be relieved: "That snack is poisonous."

"Poisonous?!" Lu Zheng showed a shocked expression, but soon understood. He looked at Ji Xiang, who was pale, and said, "You also know?"

Ji Xiang pursed her lips and nodded.

Lu Zheng slowly showed a bitter smile on his face: "So... do you want to kill me?" After he traveled through time, although he was indeed a little distant from the original owner's parents, he thought he was not bad to Jin Lu and Ji Xiang, but he was not as good as the original body? In this way, although the original body had a bad reputation, he was a very successful person. He thought of Jian Yu again. Was what he wanted to tell him before really what he thought? Maybe he just wanted to tell himself that he knew he was not the original body.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Just as Lu Zheng was thinking this, Jian Yu opened the door and walked in.

Liu Zhi explained, "When I wanted to escape, I happened to meet Master Jian, and he saved me."

She didn't say how she met him, but Lu Zheng's mind became so clear at this moment. He looked at Jian Yu and asked very calmly, "You knew it a long time ago?"

He didn't ask because he knew his identity, but that Jian Yu knew that Ji Xiang would harm him.

Jian Yu looked into his eyes and nodded.

Lu Zheng took out the token from his body and handed it to him.

Jian Yu didn't take it: "Why?"

Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "I have received almost all of his memories, but yours is the only one missing. I didn't know why before, but now I know."

Jian Yu's face turned pale.

"Take it!" Lu Zheng handed the token to him and smiled, "Then we are even, and you are even with him."

The token, which still had body temperature, fell into Jian Yu's palm, but it was like a piece of burning charcoal, making him want to throw it away, but under Lu Zheng's gaze, he could only endure the pain in his heart and slowly took it.

Lu Zheng smiled again, no longer looking at anyone, and slowly walked out.

It was unknown when a drizzle began to fall from the sky. The spring rain was slightly cool and slowly wet his hair and clothes. At this time, Lu Zheng actually thought that when the male and female protagonists in idol dramas were sad, God would always rain considerately. He was actually enjoying this treatment now. Although it was just a drizzle, he didn't care too much.

At this time, the rain seemed to have stopped, and an umbrella landed on Lu Zheng's head.

Lu Zheng raised his head blankly, but happened to see Rong Zhen's eyes. He said lightly: "Let's go, come home with me."
