Lu Jingming knew that if he gave her the warehouse key, the warehouse would be empty tomorrow.
She'll give it all to her second brother, but what about her own children?
Are we just fed up with life?
Sometimes he really doubted whether he was his biological son, and why he had such a heartless mother.
Over the years, he has contributed money and effort, and he even supported his second wife. Isn't that enough?
Why couldn't his mother feel sorry for him? Why did she have to drive him to his death?
Seeing that her father-in-law was blindly filial and dared not lay a finger on Old Zhu, Su Yujiao was completely under his control and was so anxious that she wanted to curse.
Forget it, I'll just go for it. Anyway, she's no longer the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, so I don't need to worry about so much.
She stepped forward, kicked Old Zhu to the ground, and then quickly had Zhou carried away.
"Ouch, you little slut..."
"Excuse me, my foot slipped!"
After a whole night of turmoil, Zhou's life was saved, but she remained unconscious.
After daybreak, Lu Ziqian finally arrived.
Mo Shu had already captured Zhou Shengchang, and Lu Ziqian wanted to interrogate him.
Surprisingly, assassins came to his rescue, but he was led into a trap and nearly lost his life.
They managed to escape after a night of fighting, but Zhou Shengchang had already been silenced.
When he got home, he heard that his mother had hit her head against the wall, so he rushed to Su Yujiao's place.
"This matter is definitely related to the second branch of the family. Without their inside help, how could that cripple have sneaked into the mansion?"
"What exactly is the second wife trying to do?"
"Grandmother is going too far!"
"She first targeted Sixth Sister, and now it's Mother. What will happen next? Will it be Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, or perhaps the grandchildren of the eldest branch of the family?"
What exactly is she trying to do?
"Father, are you still going to blindly obey your father for someone like this?"
"How long are you going to indulge her?"
"Is she really your biological mother? What kind of mother would drive her son to his death?"
Lu Jingming roared, "Don't talk nonsense! She's your grandmother!"
“I would rather not have this grandmother.”
“I’m going back now to separate the family, otherwise I can’t survive another day.”
"My two sisters-in-law, don't go home for a while. Go back to your parents' home and hide there, so that that old hag won't harm you."
Snap!
Lu Jingming slapped Lu Ziqian hard. No matter how outrageous Old Madam Zhu was, he would not allow his son to insult him like that!
Lu Ziqian was even more furious after being slapped: "This is blind filial piety, utterly foolish!"
"Mo Feng and Mo Ying, you two keep an eye on him and don't let him cause trouble in front of the old lady, or you'll break his legs."
Lu Ziqian scoffed: "They think they can stop me?"
Lu Jingming suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutched his chest, and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"father!"
"father!"
Everyone was startled again and quickly helped the person up.
"You unfilial son, you've grown up and I can't control you anymore."
"Don't worry about whether I live or die. If I die, you can do whatever you want."
"If you treat your grandmother this way now, will you treat me the same way when I get old?"
Lu Ziqian wanted to retort, but Su Yujiao stopped him: "Shut up, don't provoke him anymore."
"Seventh Brother, quickly tell Dad that you won't go looking for trouble with Grandma." Lu Ziwei was genuinely scared.
How could my parents have become like this overnight? It feels like this family is about to fall apart.
She was genuinely afraid something might happen to her parents!
Lu Ziqian dared not provoke him further and honestly promised that he would not seek a separation from the Zhu family. Only then did Lu Jingming agree to receive treatment.
"The situation has stabilized; just don't provoke him anymore."
Lu Ziwei stomped her feet in anger: "Grandmother has controlled Father all her life, and Father is just blindly filial."
"Are we going to be bullied by the second wife for the rest of our lives?"
Su Yujiao was also indignant: "Actually, my father-in-law and the Empress were not Old Zhu's biological children at all."
"What? Jiaojiao, what did you just say? I can't hear you!"
"..."
“I said my father-in-law is blindly filial and is over fifty years old. His mindset is fundamentally incapable of changing. We need to address the problem at its root.”
"How to solve this?"
"What is the fundamental thing?"
Lu Ziqian also looked at her, feeling that she had a solution.
"Weiwei, you'll sleep with me tonight."
"ah?"
How did we suddenly start talking about sleeping?
"I can't. I need to stay by my mother's side. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
Lu Ziqian seemed to realize something, suddenly touched his nose, and volunteered, "Can I?"
"Just sleeping, no moving around!"
Su Yujiao glared at him, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Lu Ziqian tacitly agreed to her statement.
Lu Ziwei looked at this one and then at that one, feeling that there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
That evening, Lu Ziqian gently pushed open the door. Su Yujiao had already finished washing up and was applying skincare products at the dressing table.
The night was dark. The man stood at the door, and the moonlight outside the window seemed to shine only on him, making him look like a celestial being from a painting.
She glanced at him. She had dressed up specially, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, sideburns as sharp as a knife, and clear features like an ink painting. He was so handsome that one would fall in love at first sight.
Su Yujiao knew what he was thinking just by looking at his flamboyant attire.
It's nothing more than that kind of thing in bed!
"I've drunk the tea on the table."
Lu Ziqian glanced at the teacup on the table, somewhat resistant, knowing that some kind of drug must have been put in it.
A drug that can put him into a deep sleep, or a drug that can render him immobile.
"Um."
I can't refuse to drink it; she won't let me touch it.
He drank his tea, walked to the dressing table, bent down, and rested his chin on her shoulder.
