Chapter 84 Father's Wrath! Beating the Grand Tutor?
"..." It turned out that this variable was the beginning of the He family's constant danger.
He Zhaojun never imagined that she just wanted the caravan to travel far and wide and open more trade routes, but it would bring about such huge changes.
Wen Ziduan comforted: "Even if it's not you, there will be someone else."
He touched his nose. If it was only He Zhaojun, the Lou family would obviously not collapse so quickly. He played a very crucial role in it, but he could never say these words.
The two were talking in the hall when a figure appeared through the window. It looked like a young woman, looking inside. He Zhaojun forced a smile and said, "Shao Shang? Come in!"
Shao Shang pushed the door open with a squeak and entered. He casually saluted the Third Prince, then took He Zhaojun's hand and whispered, "Sister Zhaojun, you're so smart, do you know where Ling Buyi has been recently?"
She hadn't seen Ling Buyi for many days since they parted a few days ago. Although she didn't say it, she was still thinking about him in her heart.
He Zhaojun shook her head and glanced at Wen Ziduan standing beside her, wondering where Ling Buyi had gone. "Then tomorrow, can I go find my sister and go to the palace together?" Shao Shang just wanted to be by He Zhaojun's side.
He Zhaojun smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I'm afraid... not recently."
"Ah? What happened?" Shao Shang looked at He Zhaojun worriedly. She had heard that the He family had lost two sons in just one month.
"The head of the Lou family, Lou Jing, colluded with a branch of the family, illegally mining minerals, colluding with the Xianbei Yuwen tribe, and kidnapping and plundering our people... And Lou Ben, the eldest son of the Lou family, is also closely linked to the deaths of my two brothers."
Shao Shang's eyes widened when he heard this. He absolutely refused to believe that such a thing could be done by the Lou family. "Then...what about your engagement with Lou Yao?"
"At the engagement banquet, Lou Yao and I shook hands and swore an oath that unless our two families forged a blood feud, or the Lou family was unfaithful, I would never regret the engagement. But now, I only wish I had wings so I could fly to Youzhou and kill my enemies with my own hands!"
Shao Shang lowered his head: "But, A Yao definitely doesn't know about this."
"Yes, so I will ask the emperor for permission to not implicate Lou Yao in this matter. Once the imperial decree is issued, I will ask my father to cancel the engagement between Lou Yao and me."
Wen Ziduan narrowed his eyes. When he heard the word "cancel the engagement", he paused with his folding fan. Cancel the engagement?
——
The next day, the government and the public were shocked.
He Yong stood in the hall, his face as gloomy as water. He said nothing, his brows sternly fixed on Lou Jing, making him break into a cold sweat. "Lou Jing, you are so... greedy! It's a shame that two of my sons in the He family died because of this!"
Lou Jing looked dejected, but he didn't refute her. He only knew that the Lou family could never return to its former glory. He didn't understand why, despite such careful planning, they were still discovered and ended up like this.
"There's nothing much to say. It's just that my skills are inferior to others."
Before he could finish his words, He Yong's fist, as big as a sandbag, had already hit him in the cheek: "Old bastard! As a minister, you embezzled the mineral veins for profit, which is disloyalty; you deceived our people and made them suffer oppression and abuse from the Yuwen tribe, which is unjust! Are you worthy of being a human being?"
This punch was filled with indignation and anger. Lou Jing opened his mouth and spat out two teeth. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth and his face was swollen.
"You've harmed my two sons, and you still want Zhaojun to marry into your Lou family as a bride? I'll beat you to death, you ungrateful parasite!!"
