Lu Ziwei then lifted the blanket. Her collar was wide open and her sleeves were torn, indicating that she had just struggled violently. Even more terrifying was that there was a man lying on the bed.
It turns out that she had wrapped herself in the blanket not only to cover herself, but also to hide the thief.
Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost screamed. Fortunately, Su Yujiao reacted quickly and stopped her scream in time.
"What happened?"
"Who...who is he?"
Lu Ziwei cried uncontrollably. Su Yujiao stepped forward and turned the man lying on the bed over, but she was so frightened that she took a step back.
It was... Lu Youcai!
When Zhou saw who it was, she was so angry she wanted to kill someone!
"That damned bastard, he... he actually dared to do this to you..."
"Did he...did he..."
Lu Ziwei shook her head and sobbed as she recounted what had happened: "Fortunately, Lord Gu came in in time and knocked him unconscious with a vase."
"However, footsteps soon came from outside, and he didn't have time to get the person out, so he could only cover them with a blanket for the time being."
"Then he said he was drunk and accidentally barged in..."
"He did it to protect my reputation; it's better than me being... being raped and forced."
"And it's my own cousin. If this scandal gets out, the entire General's Mansion will lose all face."
"Waaaaah..."
Zhou was trembling with rage, her face deathly pale. She truly wanted to kill the entire second wife's family of beasts.
Wang's behavior just now clearly indicated that she knew about it... and even Old Zhu was involved.
She was certain she wouldn't let this go; once the guests left, she would personally kill that beast.
Knowing that the Lu family had family matters to attend to, the guests in the front yard tactfully left early.
However, what they thought was a family matter was the marriage between the Gu and Lu families.
After all, Gu Heng had seen the girl's body, so he definitely had to take responsibility.
Fortunately, neither of them was married, so it was a beautiful story of a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Although the Gu family's social standing is not as high as the Lu family's, Lu Ziwei is a second-time bride, so the Gu family is not considered to be climbing the social ladder.
I'm afraid I'll be attending Gu Heng's wedding soon.
Several young officials who were on good terms with Gu Heng bumped him on the shoulder as they were leaving, jokingly saying, "Congratulations, Brother Gu! Don't forget me when you send out the wedding invitations."
"Me too, I've been wanting to invite Brother Gu to my wedding banquet for a long time."
Gu Heng smiled bitterly; he shouldn't have come tonight.
If he hadn't known that Jiaojiao would be coming, he would never have appeared at the Lu family's house.
But... if he witnessed something like that and did nothing to help, his conscience wouldn't allow it.
What a cruel twist of fate!
When most people had left, Gu Heng pulled Lu Ziqian aside. Seeing his serious expression, Lu Ziqian suppressed the urge to beat him up again.
"What's up?"
Gu Heng recounted how he had witnessed Lu Youcai raping Lu Ziwei and told him to deal with it quickly.
After all, Lu Jingming and his two other brothers were not present, and Zhou Shi and Jiao Jiao were both women, so he had to step in to handle this matter.
We can't let that beast Lu Youcai get away with this!
Lu Ziqian's eyes widened suddenly, a cruel and bloodthirsty glint flashing in them, and he turned and went to the backyard.
Gu Heng also left; it wasn't appropriate for him to get involved in their family matters.
If Lu Ziwei is willing to marry him tonight, he will personally go to her door to propose marriage.
As for Jiaojiao, it can only be said that he and she were destined to be apart!
Lu Ziqian rushed into Lu Ziwei's room, stuffed Lu Youcai into a sack, and carried him away.
This matter should not be publicized. Even if it is dealt with according to family rules, it will become known to everyone in the General's Mansion.
No secrets stay hidden forever; the more people who know, the worse it will be for Sixth Sister.
Since Gu Heng has already taken all the blame, there's no need to let any more people know the truth.
Lu Youcai has disappeared, and no one knows what happened to him.
Old Zhu and Wang were frantic, unable to find Lu Youcai anywhere.
At first, they wanted to ask him which step went wrong.
But now they just want to find him. The longer it goes on, the more afraid they become, fearing that Lu Youcai has already been secretly killed by the eldest son's family.
For the first few days, Wang Shi held back and dared not ask, but on the fourth day she could no longer restrain herself.
She went to question Lu Ziwei, but was beaten out by Zhou Shi with sticks.
"If you dare to utter another word out of turn, I'll make your other two sons disappear as well."
Zhou's words clearly told her that Lu Youcai's disappearance was related to the eldest son's family.
Wang rushed forward like a madwoman, shouting, "It's you, it's you, isn't it?"
"Give me back my son."
What did you do to my son?
Is he alive or dead?
"Waaaaah, I beg you, please give me back my son..."
"I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again..."
Zhou's eyes were bloodshot, and she trembled with hatred: "Get out, and don't let me see you again."
"If you dare to spread even a single rumor that is detrimental to Weiwei, you can expect to be collecting your son's corpse."
Wang was taken aback: "He's not dead yet, is he?"
"Sister-in-law, please let him go. He really knows he was wrong."
"roll."
A few days later, Lu Youcai appeared on the street in a daze and was taken back by his second wife.
Lu Youcai has gone mad. He not only doesn't recognize people, but he also fights with dogs for excrement.
He had no external injuries, but he had gone mad!
No one knows what inhuman torture he endured during the ten days he was missing.
Wang was crying hysterically while holding her son who was eating feces and acting crazy. Lu Ziqian personally stepped forward to comfort her: "Second Aunt, don't be sad. You still have two sons."
“If Second Aunt doesn’t take good care of her health and continues to have strange ideas, your other two sons might go crazy too.”
Wang was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body trembled. She hugged her son, who was eating excrement, tightly and dared not look him in the eye.
Even if she harbored deep hatred, she dared not retaliate, otherwise her other two sons would have suffered the same fate.
Only at this moment did Wang realize how terrifying Lu Ziqian was.
He's a devil; he shows no mercy to his own brothers, going straight for their deaths.
After learning of Lu Youcai's fate, Lu Ziwei felt much better.
"Serves you right!"
Seeing that her daughter was no longer affected by that incident, Zhou suddenly asked, "Weiwei, what do you think of Gu Heng?"
Lu Ziwei was stunned for a moment, recalling his composed and decisive manner that night, and her heart skipped a beat.
"He... is fine."
"But we're not a good match, Mother, please don't have any other thoughts."
"They did it to save me, we can't repay kindness with enmity."
Madam Zhou disagreed. She felt that her daughter was good enough to marry a prince, so how could marrying Gu Heng be considered repaying kindness with enmity?
"How could you repay kindness with enmity? He has an innocent background and is not yet married. I think you two are a perfect match."
Without hesitation, Lu Ziwei said, "He likes Jiaojiao."
"I've liked it for many years."
“I won’t be happy if I marry him; he won’t have room for anyone else in his heart.”
