Lu Yun's face immediately turned cold, and his mind turned several thoughts. He showed understanding in his eyes and sneered: "Is she crazy to want to be my second sister-in-law?!"
They both fell into the water, but she didn't say a word to him and even tried to push him, a seriously injured man, into the water. Why did she treat Lu Xian differently? What was the basis for her to treat him differently? The only answer Lu Yun could think of was that seeing the mountains of gold and silver, power and status in front of her, Luo Lingyu was so tempted that she jumped over to save him regardless of anything...
Luo Yunhuan was stunned for a moment, and just when she was about to explain that it was not the case, she saw Lu Yun's face looking gloomy.
Lu Yun has several faces. He is noble and arrogant when he meets people on weekdays, looking down on everyone and ignoring everyone; in private, he is a little frivolous, likes to tease and make fun of others, and his words and deeds are charming and seductive; at this time, Luo Yunhuan was lucky enough to see his third face. He is serious and cold. When he glanced at people with cold eyes, a huge sense of oppression came over her, and Luo Yunhuan sat on the ground with her legs weak, and she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth.
Lu Yun had already stood up. He didn't want to find out what was going on there. Lu Sanlang walked away, saying coldly, "Since it was Cousin Luo's own choice, if she wants to be extremely rich, she will naturally have to endure great setbacks. People with different ideals cannot work together, so why bother your sister?"
Luo Yunhuan was anxious: "No, it's not like that..."
Luo Lingyu warned her not to tell anyone that she and Silang accidentally pushed her second cousin into the water. Luo Yunhuan came to ask Lu Yun for help, and she didn't want to tell anyone. But now she saw Lu Yun went into the inner room like this, and the maids followed with lights, so she ran a few steps. Luo Yunhuan chased after him: "Cousin, cousin..."
…
On the second day, the academy was closed, and all the young men went to visit Lu Erlang. Lu Yun, who never went to the academy, had breakfast, and then he realized that his second brother's condition was worse than he thought. Jinyue served the young man breakfast, and saw that his eyes were quiet and he didn't know what he was thinking. She had an idea and scooped a small dish of cheese for the young man: "This is what Madam Luo gave us yesterday to try. She said it doesn't keep well, so let's eat it as soon as possible."
Lu Yun lowered his eyes.
The celadon plate was yellowish white, cracked with ice, and contained a small piece of cheese, crystal clear, like a snowy mountain.
Lu Yun's eyes flickered. "But how come second brother has been unconscious for a whole night after falling into the water? Let's go check it out."
After breakfast, Lu Yun went to visit Erlang. Many young men had gathered in Lu Xian's courtyard. When they saw Lu Yun coming, they pulled him aside to explain the situation in the house. It is said that Lu Xian began to have a high fever in the second half of the night. After the young man persuaded the old lady Lu to go and rest, she cried with red eyes. Before dawn, the Lu family took the name card to Taichu Palace to invite the palace physician.
All the ladies and gentlemen in the palace were shocked. His Majesty personally sent a personal physician, and the Empress also asked about Lu Erlang's condition.
This gives us a glimpse into the power of the Lu family in Jianye.
Lu Yun thought thoughtfully: "It's just falling into the water..."
The young men sighed, "Yeah, I've never heard that my second brother was in such a bad health before. I feel bad for my cousin Luo, Madam Lu is so angry..."
Lu Yun's eyes flashed again. It was well known that Luo Lingyu pushed Lu Xian and then saved him. But just as Lu Yun didn't believe that Luo Lingyu would save someone, Lu Yun didn't believe that Luo Lingyu would push someone - his cousin was so careful with her second brother, her eyes were full of "want to marry a nobleman", she would never push anyone.
If she had created an opportunity for herself... Luo Lingyu wouldn't be so stupid.
There seems to be another story in between.
Lu Yun and several other gentlemen stood in the corridor and chatted for a while. His words and actions were cold and distant. The gentlemen thought it was normal and did not ask any more questions. After that, Lu Yun went into the house, met several elders, and wandered around the bed of Erlang Lu Xian for a while. Lu Yun even sat down and took Erlang Lu's pulse.
The courtyard and the house were full of doctors and sighs. Mrs. Lu never understood Lu Yun and looked down on him. Now Lu Yun was checking Lu Xian's pulse, and Mrs. Lu wondered how Lu Yun knew medicine. Although she didn't believe in Lu Sanlang's ability, Mrs. Lu still looked at him eagerly: "Sanlang, have you figured out what's going on? Why hasn't your second brother woke up yet?"
Lu Yun stood up and said perfunctorily, "There's nothing wrong with my body. I'll wake up when I need to. Aunt, don't worry."
Mrs. Lu's eyes darkened and she nodded reluctantly. All the doctors said that Erlang was fine, Sanlang also said so...but Lu Xian just wouldn't wake up? It was all because of that Luo Lingyu...Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth, that disaster...she couldn't do anything now, but when her Erlang woke up, she would never let that woman off.
After Lu Yun came out of the room filled with the aroma of medicine, he strolled down the corridor and passed by the Buddhist temple at the corner. Luo Lingyu locked herself in the Buddhist temple to pray for Erlang. The elders of the Lu family did not comment, and the servants did not dare to interfere. Lu Yun passed by the Buddhist temple and walked slowly, turning his head and glancing inside.
The trees were lush and green, and the shadows of the wooden railings were reflected on his face and eyes like waves. Dust was flying, and he saw the girl kneeling inside. She was kneeling devoutly with her back straight, her long hair was dishevelled. He walked past her and just happened to see her porcelain-white cheeks, lips whiter than snow, and her body trembling slightly. The girl was extremely frail, which made people feel sorry for her.
She knelt all night and was still kneeling during the day, without drinking a drop of water, and she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Lu Yun's eyes fell: If Luo Lingyu could do this just to marry into a wealthy family, he would admire her...
There was a lot of disdain in his heart, but among the disdain, Lu Yun also had some more guesses: the claim of pushing people into the water was full of loopholes and might not be consistent with the facts... But Luo Lingyu herself admitted it, haha.
When his second brother wakes up, he will either be moved and marry Luo Lingyu despite all odds, or he will be furious and send Luo Lingyu back to Nanyang.
Lu Yun turned his head away, no longer looking at the young woman kneeling in the Buddhist temple. However, there was a thorn in his heart, stabbing him. Thinking of the possibility that Luo Lingyu could become his second sister-in-law, with her beautiful eyes, charming smile, and being paired with Erlang, dangling in front of him every day... Lu Yun thought she should go back to Nanyang.
…
As night fell, there was still no news of Lu Erlang waking up, and Luo Lingyu's heart became colder and colder, and she became more and more afraid. As long as Lu Xian woke up, it would be easy to scold or punish him; if Lu Xian didn't wake up, Luo Lingyu's crime would become more serious day by day. Luo Lingyu knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine, praying sincerely for her second cousin to wake up...
