When the procession arrived at the Li family's gate, the Li family members were so frightened that they ran away in terror.
"You few will stay at the Li family residence to inventory Weiwei's dowry. If even a single coin is missing, the entire mansion will be searched. If you find anything that shouldn't be there, please don't take offense, Lord Li."
Li Guangfa was so frightened that he kept kowtowing, only managing to utter one sentence: "This humble official deserves to die, this humble official deserves to die."
"This humble official...this humble official was unaware that this unfilial son had done something to wrong Weiwei."
Snap!
Lu Jingming threw the large, round pearl hairpin on the ground and sneered, "So you don't know!"
“This hairpin was given by my daughter to her mother-in-law, but you took it to give to this slut.”
"She gave birth to three healthy grandsons for your Li family, that's a great achievement."
When Madam Li saw the pearl hairpin, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. She treasured this pearl hairpin like the apple of her eye, how could she bear to give it to a mistress?
I don't know when the third brother stole it and gave it to that slut Su Xing'er.
If that slut hadn't been seducing the third brother, none of this would have happened.
Hmph, who cares about a bastard born to a mistress? They much prefer the child born to the Lu family's daughter, who, after all, calls the Empress "Grandma" and is considered half a member of the royal family. The Li family can also benefit from this.
Unfortunately, it's all because of this good-for-nothing that he was blinded by that slut.
When they found Su Xing'er, she had already given birth to two children, and Lu Ziwei had already miscarried two of her babies.
They couldn't bear to kill their own grandson, but they couldn't tolerate Su Xing'er.
Her idea was to get rid of Su Xing'er and send the two children to be raised on the estate.
But the son absolutely refused, even threatening the fate of the entire Li family.
If they dare to kill Su Xing'er, he will kill Lu Ziwei and make the entire Li family pay with their lives.
Even if they can protect Lu Ziwei, the third brother has already caused her to miscarry two children. If the truth comes out, the Li family will still be finished.
They couldn't control their youngest son at all, and could only let him run wild. They even helped him cover up for the sake of the Li family's interests and bullied Lu Ziwei together.
They also hoped that their son could train Lu Ziwei to be as obedient as a dog, so that even if the truth came out, as long as she was willing to protect her husband's family, the General's Mansion would not dare to do anything to the Li family.
Unexpectedly, the third brother still got burned while playing with fire.
The daughter of a general is not so easily bullied.
This time, it's not just the third son; the entire Li family might be dragged down with him.
General Lu has made his point very clear: even if the Li family doesn't withhold Lu Ziwei's dowry, he will still use the pretext of searching for the dowry to search the Li family's property.
Li Guangfa served as an official for decades, and his wife was someone who loved to enjoy life and cared about her reputation. How honest could the Li family be?
They couldn't withstand a search!
Moreover, since the third brother has humiliated someone else's daughter like this, they will definitely take advantage of the search to frame him. Even if they don't have anything, they will conjure something up for him.
When the elderly couple in the Li family realized this, they were so frightened that they fainted.
The Li family's sons and daughters-in-law all looked at Li Rongheng and Su Xing'er with hatred. They were the two troublemakers who had to do this to ruin their lives instead of living a good life.
It even implicated the entire Li family!
When the eldest son, Li Rongbing, saw that his parents had fainted from fright and that the others could not stand up, was the Li family doomed?
He was unwilling to accept it!
"Lord Lu, the Li family will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
"I'll have someone beat this whore to death and cripple her manhood. Do you think we can just let this matter go?"
"As for these three bastards, they are not descendants of the Li family. They must be bastards born from this prostitute's affair."
“But children are innocent. It would be too cruel to beat or kill them. It would be better to tattoo their faces and sell them into slavery, so that they can only be lowly slaves for the rest of their lives.”
Lu Jingming narrowed his eyes. The Li family has indeed produced a ruthless character.
This is indeed the outcome he wants to see, but he cannot do it.
He led the men to catch his daughter in adultery, which was to seek justice for her. He was in the right in front of everyone and would not give anyone cause for criticism.
But if the Li family is allowed to commit atrocities, things will turn out differently.
If word gets out, people will say that the Lu family is arrogant and cruel, and can't even tolerate a few innocent children.
In the future, Weiwei will also be known for being jealous and vicious. Who would dare to marry her then?
Vivi was clearly the victim, but in the end, it became her fault?
He won't allow that to happen!
Let's leave it to the Emperor to handle, and shut up any dissent.
"If I agree to your proposal today, my Lu family will be branded with a reputation for cruelty and murder, and my daughter will be condemned by the public."
"She's already suffered enough at the hands of your Li family, do you really want to ruin her reputation?"
“This beast poisoned my daughter. This is no longer a family matter; this is murder for money.”
“This matter should have been handled by the local government. Since the government is afraid to take charge, I will personally escort it back to the capital and hand it over to His Majesty for processing.”
"Walk."
Li Rongbing knelt on the ground, his face ashen. What General Lu said made perfect sense, and he could not refute it.
It's over, the Lu family isn't planning to let the Li family off the hook!
Li Jiaquan is finished!
Lu Jingming left behind these people, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts, not only to inventory the dowry but also to prevent them from escaping overnight.
The Lu family is leaving them absolutely no way out!
"Pah, serves him right."
"Treat other people's daughters like they're not human, and this is what happens."
"Are these people out of their minds? The daughter of a general's family married into their family, and instead of pampering and respecting her, they're promoting some slut outside?!"
"It's not that the daughter of the general's mansion is infertile. She got pregnant several times, but those two adulterers poisoned her and caused her to miscarry."
"These old couple are really something. They'd rather abandon their grandson, who has half royal blood, than have a bastard child born to a lowly woman?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, could that slut be the illegitimate daughter of one of these old couple? Do they have incestuous relationships in their family?"
"Otherwise, why would the whole family spoil one slut?"
"You know what, it's actually possible."
The Li family members, listening to the people's gossip and insults, turned pale and then flushed with shame.
The daughters-in-law, who had just learned the truth, couldn't understand the Li family's foolish move.
Perhaps that bitch really is her father-in-law's or mother-in-law's illegitimate daughter!
"Sister-in-law, come here for a moment. It seems the Li family is in dire straits."
What are your plans?
"What plans? It was Li Laosan who made the mistake. Do you think the Emperor would execute our entire Li family just because a man keeps a mistress outside the home?"
Li's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes at her sister-in-law, thinking, "She's really brainless."
"Didn't you understand what General Lu just said?"
"He wants to take stock of Lu Ziwei's dowry."
"Then let's take inventory and return everything to her."
"Second sister-in-law, one shouldn't be too greedy. Even at a time like this, you wouldn't still be eyeing Lu Ziwei's dowry, would you?"
The second daughter-in-law couldn't hold back any longer: "Sister-in-law, are you stupid? Why can't you think outside the box?"
Are you referring to the dowry?
