Chapter 339 Frankness
Lu Feng, who was standing outside the door, was stunned and stiff. He pushed the door open blankly. "Impossible, Ziyu, you are lying to me, aren't you? You are lying to me on purpose to be with Zhaolan, aren't you? Zhaolan is not dead, you deliberately made up a story to cover up the scandal with her, aren't you?"
Lu Feng did not want to eavesdrop, he just wanted justice and hoped that his father could handle it impartially. Xie Zhaolan did such a thing and was no longer worthy of being a wife of the Lu family. He did not believe that his father would indulge Zi Yu so much and dote on his wife and ignore the family. He did not expect to hear that Xie Zhaolan was dead.
Lu Shaoqing frowned, wanting to scold him for being rude and eavesdropping in the study, but seeing Lu Feng in such a state of distraught and embarrassment, Lu Shaoqing felt a little reluctant. He also hoped that Lu Feng and Lu Jing could untie their knots and stop being upset about a woman.
Lu Jing and Lu Feng, one martial and one literary, are the most promising children of this generation in the Lu family. Lu Shaoqing also hopes that Lu Feng will cheer up after knowing the truth and stop blaming others.
Lu Jing said in a deep voice, "Brother, the eldest sister-in-law was dead when she fell off the cliff. She and you were married for life and slept in the same bed for several years. You know better than anyone whether it was the eldest sister-in-law or Xiaowu who came back at your second marriage's wedding. Li Xueying's testimony is true. She did kill the eldest sister-in-law. You actually have doubts in your heart, but you don't want to think too much. You are afraid that others will say that you have failed your first wife, so you put all the blame on Li Xueying. You blame others and forgive yourself. But you are the culprit of this matter. If you hadn't been trying to get close to a rich and powerful man, the eldest sister-in-law would not have died, and you would have a lovely wife and children, and you would be happy. How could this have happened?"
This was also what disappointed Lu Jing the most about Lu Feng. He hid behind the woman like a coward, without taking any responsibility or guilt. His eldest sister-in-law and child died unjustly.
"Impossible, it can't be!" Lu Feng cried and laughed, "She is obviously still alive and divorced me, how could she die?"
"You know what kind of person Li Xueying is, and you should also know her methods. Since you acquiesced to Li Xueying killing your eldest sister-in-law, it's too late to regret it now if you show such affection to anyone. Brother, Xiaowu hates you because you killed her eldest sister. She went to the capital to vindicate the King of Huainan and reunite with her sister. She and your eldest sister-in-law have very different personalities except for their similar appearances. You have noticed it a long time ago, but you just don't want to admit it. You are also the murderer of your eldest sister-in-law's death." Lu Jing's voice was cold and ruthless. "When she fell off the cliff, she was pregnant and the child was more than two months old. Until her death, she didn't know that you had changed your mind and betrayed her. She just thought that Li Xueying was wishful thinking and wanted to take her husband away. Brother, she has been married to you for three years, taking care of the housework and living with you. Therefore, no matter how much she hates you, she will not harm the fetus in Ding’s belly. Otherwise, what is the difference between her and Li Xueying who killed the eldest sister-in-law. Today I tell you the truth, and I hope that brother can let go of the past and stop entangled. ”
"Don't bother..." Lu Feng knelt on the ground in grief. The person was dead, so why bother? Zhao Lan... Zhao Lan was dead. It turned out that Zhao Lan was dead!
He was heartbroken and couldn't help beating his chest and crying, regretting his decision!
If he hadn't coveted the power of the Anping Marquis' Mansion and knew that Li Xueying was intolerant, he would have pretended to know nothing and condoned Li Xueying's killing. Perhaps... perhaps everything would have been different.
He is still in the Hanlin Academy. Zhaolan has given birth to a child, he has a lovely wife and young children, and his future is bright. Ziyu is the regent. He can get any official position he wants. Why is he so obsessed with it?
It harmed myself and Zhaolan!
"Zhao Lan... Zhao Lan, I'm sorry for you!" Lu Feng was heartbroken. He slapped himself hard several times, causing the corners of his lips to bleed and his cheeks to become red and swollen. He was sorry for Zhao Lan and he did something wrong.
Lu Jing felt extremely calm, he didn't know whether his brother was pretending or was really in pain. His elder sister-in-law was dead, no matter how sadly he cried, she couldn't hear him.
Lu Shaoqing said, "Qingfeng, you know the truth. It was you who committed the crime from the beginning to the end. Ziyu and the princess have never done you any wrong. In the future... don't blame others anymore. Ding, take good care of yourself. You will have children in the future. Don't be discouraged. Ziyu seems to be in a high position, but in fact he is struggling. You are his elder brother, and you will be his right-hand man in the future. Don't dwell on the past and cheer up. Only when you brothers are in harmony and stand side by side can the Lu family prosper. Do you hear me?"
Lu Jing frowned slightly, but Lu Feng seemed not to have heard him. Lu Shaoqing said, "Zi Yu, Ding had a miscarriage, and the Ding family believed that it was Su Qingwan's fault, and they want us to give an explanation. If the matter of the Huainan sisters cannot be made public, we should give the Ding family some benefits to calm the matter down. The Ding family is also our in-laws, so we should help them if we can. Most of the noble families in Beijing rely on nepotism, and only by supporting each other can we go further."
Although Lu Jing was reluctant in his heart, he did not show it. There was no need to make his elders unhappy over such a small matter, and it could also calm the war, so why not do it?
"Yes, I understand." Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Lu Feng who was still in grief. "Uncle, brother, if there is nothing else, I will go back home first."
Lu Shaoqing stopped him, "Zi Yu, since Su's matter is just a misunderstanding, your brother will come to terms with it. If she has come to her senses, you should bring her home more often. We are a family after all."
Lu Jing saluted, "Yes, I understand."
He knew that Su Qingwan would not come, and he would not force her. In fact, he did not care. Su Qingwan liked the women in the family, and it could be considered a bond, so it would not be too ugly.
He also hopes that his brother can let it go as soon as possible.
Su Qingwan was not surprised to know that Lu Jing returned to the Lu family. She thought he would stay until the evening or be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, but she did not expect him to come back safe and sound.
"He wasn't beaten? He wasn't forced to kneel?" Su Qingwan was surprised and looked around him to observe him. Could it be that he was trying to save face by not mentioning the beating?
Lu Jing looked at her with a smile, his eyes were very gentle, "Can't you expect me to be a little better?"
Su Qingwan stopped teasing, "Is Mrs. Ding feeling better?"
"Mother said she hasn't woken up yet. She's seriously injured, so she'll have to recuperate for a while." Although the toxins have been cleared, it would be very difficult to get pregnant again. Zhang felt sad when she talked about this, but in fact, she was looking forward to having Ding's child.
Su Qingwan's smile faded slightly. Lu Jing pulled her to sit down and told her what happened at the Lu family today. He knew that Su Qingwan didn't want them to know the truth, but he didn't want to hide it from her either.
