Chapter 303 Beating
Lu Jing frowned and said in a deep voice, "Brother has been confined at home for several days and has not learned to speak properly. You don't have to leave the house in the future."
Lu Feng, "..."
Mrs. Ding hurriedly explained, "Third brother, your brother just fell down and is very angry. Please don't be offended by his offensive words."
Ding tugged at Lu Feng's sleeve, signaling him to apologize, but Lu Feng showed no sign of apologizing. He also relied on the fact that he was Lu Jing's brother. No matter how harshly Lu Jing spoke to him, he had to give face to Lu Shaoqing. How could he really punish him?
Su Qingwan sneered, vicious words were on the tip of her tongue, but when she thought of Ding who always greeted people with a smile, she swallowed the words back and did not say anything else. She was too lazy to argue with Lu Feng. If it wasn't for revenge on a fool like him, she wouldn't even bother to say a word to him.
Ding dragged Lu Feng into Hanshui Temple. Fortunately, Ding helped to smooth things over, and there was no more conflict between Lu Feng and Lu Jing. Lu Jing led Su Qingwan down the mountain with a unfriendly look on his face.
Su Qingwan said, "Don't be angry with him. I don't take it to heart."
"My brother's words...are disrespectful to my eldest sister-in-law."
Su Qingwan was a little surprised. The elder sister-in-law he mentioned was the deceased Xie Zhaolan. To be honest, although Xie Zhaolan had been married to the Lu family for several years, she had only met Lu Jing during festivals. In Lu Jing's impression, the elder sister-in-law was gentle, proper, and thoughtful. Everyone praised her. Everyone in the clan that had a good relationship with the Lu family praised the elder sister-in-law. Although she was the daughter of a merchant, her words and deeds were very proper, and she had the style of a lady from a noble family.
Now that he knew that his eldest sister-in-law was Su Qingwan's sister, he felt even more sad about her passing. Lu Feng's words were extremely disrespectful to the deceased and humiliating. Su Qingwan might not have ignored it, but she was just being lenient with him for his sake.
"I'm afraid my sister doesn't want to have anything to do with him. She doesn't care what he says or does anymore." Su Qingwan said lightly and let go of his hand. Holding Lu Jing's hand just now seemed to have the intention of angering Lu Feng. Su Qingwan felt that she was a bit childish when she thought about it.
Li Yue and Qingyun caught up and knew that Lu Feng and Ding came to worship Buddha. Qingyun knew that they would definitely meet each other and felt very unhappy. Qingyun even scolded Lu Feng a few words, especially after knowing that Lu Feng was disrespectful to Xie Zhaolan and mocked her for being unable to have children, she was really angry.
Su Qingwan took advantage of Lu Jing's inattention and gave Qingyun a look.
Qingyun nodded. The master and servant had a tacit understanding. With just one look from Su Qingwan, Qingyun knew what she meant. She covered her abdomen and said softly, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Li Yue, you go first, I'll catch up soon!"
After she finished speaking, she went into the forest, and Li Yue had no time to stop her.
Li Yue didn't suspect anything. She carried the wild fruits she and Qingyun picked and followed Su Qingwan and Lu Jing down the mountain first.
In Hanshui Temple, Lu Feng and Ding worshipped the Buddha and walked out. Ding added some incense money and wanted to go to have a vegetarian meal with Lu Feng, but Lu Feng seemed a little impatient.
Ding had argued with him and was unhappy. "Since we are here to worship Buddha, we must complete the procedures. Otherwise, Buddha will think we are disrespectful and may not hear our wishes."
"Sincerity is the key to success. All those etiquettes are empty."
"If my husband doesn't go, I can go alone." Mrs. Ding's face turned cold, and Lu Feng had no choice but to follow her to the back mountain. In his mind, he was still thinking about the picture of Lu Jing and Su Qingwan standing in front of the temple, like a perfect couple, and his heart felt like a thorn.
He couldn't help but think of the tender and sweet time he and Xie Zhaolan had spent together. He felt resentful and gradually felt a little regretful. Xie Zhaolan and he had once had a period of loving love. If it weren't for Li Xueying, if he hadn't climbed up first, nothing would have changed.
Ding was very upset. She was neither favored nor neglected at home. Her marriage was not smooth. Finally, she married Lu Feng. In fact, she had heard about Lu Feng and knew that he had a bad reputation. Various incidents with his first wife were circulated in Beijing. She was unwilling to marry Lu Feng. But marriage was a big matter. It was decided by her parents and matchmaker. She had no say in it.
She thought that Lu Feng was divorced, Li Xueying was dead, and the past grievances had come to an end. She should look forward and live her life. She had met Lu Feng once before marriage. He was handsome and the elder brother of the King of Sherlock. Her parents said that his future would not be too bad. Although the two brothers had disagreements, they were still connected. Lu Jing would definitely help Lu Feng, but she didn't expect that the person Lu Jing married was Lu Feng's first wife. Ding felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. Who could have thought that the Lu family would be so chaotic, with uncles and sisters-in-law having an affair and brothers turning against each other for a woman? As the daughter of the clan, she didn't understand why such a thing happened.
The matter was settled, and Lu Feng was powerless to change anything. Lu Jing's power and status were there, and even if Lu Feng's wife was taken away, he should just swallow his anger. Besides, he was married to her, so he should let the matter go. He had to rely on others and could not offend Lu Jing. But Lu Feng provoked Lu Jing like a madman.
He was still calling Zhaolan's name at night, showing his decadence and indulgence. Ding was angry and annoyed, but she had no idea what to do.
Her family urged her to please Lu Jing and get a position for her brothers. In this situation, Lu Feng had offended Lu Jing and his wife. Lu Jing had snatched his eldest sister-in-law away, and he had some brotherly feelings for Lu Feng. This was probably... her life would be ruined. Ding didn't dare to tell her family about the Lu family. It would be too ugly if it got out. She had married into the Lu family and it was impossible for her to ruin the Lu family's reputation. Now she could only persuade Lu Feng to let go of the past and stop going against Lu Jing. It would not benefit him at all.
The two walked towards the back mountain in silence. Ding suddenly felt a pain in her neck and lost consciousness. Qingyun put a sack around Lu Feng. Lu Feng shouted in fear, "Who? Help...ah..."
Qingyun started beating him on the head. She had tolerated Lu Feng for a long time, and she took revenge on both the old and new grudges. If it weren't for Lu Feng, the eldest princess would not have died, and her daughter would not have to be tied to Lu Jing for revenge and trapped in the capital. They must have been so happy in Huainan. It would have been so nice for the princess to have a son-in-law who lived a free and easy life. How could she be trapped in the capital for her whole life?
Lu Feng screamed and wailed continuously. Qingyun was ruthless and punched and kicked him on the head. Lu Feng saw stars and fainted. He lost consciousness.
Qingyun snorted coldly, snatched the valuable jade pendant and jewelry from him, and left, making it look like they were being robbed.
"Humph, if you dare to say something rude next time, I'll break your legs!"
Qingyun knew her limits and would not beat anyone to death. She put away the jade pendant she had snatched and went down the mountain humming a little tune. Li Yue was waiting for her, while Su Qingwan and Lu Jing had already returned to the city in a carriage.
Li Yue asked, "Where are you going and what's taking you so long?"
Qingyun smiled and said, "The forest is foggy and I am lost."
Li Yue raised an eyebrow, "The sun is shining brightly, how can there be fog? Besides, you are lost, why are you so happy?"
"It's none of your business!"
