Chapter 334 Provocation
Lu Jing entered the courtyard alone, and others automatically made way for him. He was going to attend a banquet at the Taifu's residence today and did not bring any entourage. The prefect of Kyoto immediately called Lu Jing after receiving the news.
Su Qingwan sat there calmly, with Li Yue and Qing Yun guarding her on her left and right. No matter how aggressive Lu Feng and Lin were, she remained calm.
The wife of Ningyuan Marquis and the prefect of Kyoto and others all saluted Lu Jing. The prefect of Kyoto was even more relieved. He was thankful that Lu Jing had finally come. He really didn't want to get involved in the Lu family's affairs, and now that Lu Jing was here, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
"Zi Yu, she caused Ding to have a miscarriage. That is the blood of our Lu family, and blood is thicker than water. Are you going to protect her?" Lin was furious. "For her, you disobeyed your elders and disrespected the elders of the clan. Now you are going to ignore her for destroying the blood of the Lu family. Are you a Lu or a member of the Huainan Su family? How dare you protect her to this extent!"
Disobeying elders is a serious crime. Dawan values filial piety, and anyone charged with disobedience will be skinned alive and drowned in spit. Lu Jing's marriage to Su Qingwan has ruined his reputation, and it was made known to everyone by Lady Anping, which was already extremely unorthodox, so the charge of disobedience seems insignificant.
"Aunt, there is no evidence to prove that the princess harmed Ding. Please be careful with your words. Brother, I understand your grief over losing your child, but this is not a reason for you to slander her. If everyone who has had contact with the princess is a suspect, then everyone who had contact with Ding at the wedding banquet today should be brought in for questioning." Lu Jing's face was solemn. "Do you dare?"
Lin and Lu Feng naturally didn't dare to do that. They dared to make things difficult for Su Qingwan because Lu Jing was a member of the Lu family and a younger generation. If they brought everyone who had contact with the Ding family in for interrogation, they would offend countless people. They absolutely didn't dare to do that!
"Xie Zhaolan, do you dare to say in front of Ziyu that you don't hate the fetus in Ding's belly at all?" Lu Feng asked in a deep voice.
Su Qingwan frowned. The wife of Marquis Ningyuan was about to curse, "Idiot?" She kept calling him "Xie Zhaolan". Was she trying to prove that the prince was having an affair with Xiaowu's uncle and his wife?
"Brother, Miss Xie is already in Jiangnan. The one in front of you is my princess, Su Qingwan!" Lu Jing's face darkened. "Don't let me hear you call the wrong name again. If you can't even remember a name, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything well in the future."
Lin's heart trembled. The meaning of Lu Jing's words was very clear. Lu Feng still had to rely on Lu Jing to enter the officialdom. If he completely offended someone, Lu Feng's entry into the officialdom would be a long time in sight.
Lin was also a little scared. For some reason, she had always been a little scared of Lu Jing, but not Su Qingwan. Perhaps it was because she and Xie Zhaolan had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for several years, and she regarded Su Qingwan as Xie Zhaolan. She had no fear in her heart, but she was afraid of Lu Jing. Although Lu Jing was a junior, she knew very well that Lu Jing could influence the fate of the Lu family and determine Lu Feng's future. She did not dare to offend Lu Feng too much. She dared to provoke Su Qingwan because she was sure that Lu Jing would not disregard the family's future for Su Qingwan. No man would give up the family's honor for a woman, and Lu Jing was no exception.
Lu Feng really kept silent and dared not speak!
Su Qingwan smiled faintly. Since Lu Jing was here, she didn't need to say anything more. Lu Feng said, "Zi Yu, it seems that you are determined to protect her. You have thrown away our twenty years of brotherhood. Good, very good!"
Lu Feng sneered, "You and I both know that she is the most suspected of murdering Ding. What did Ding do wrong? What did the child do wrong? If you indulge her like this, sooner or later she will kill me, and you will just stand by and watch, right? Li Xueying is dead, and Lady Anping is dead. In her heart, she believes that it was me, Li Xueying, and Anping, who murdered her together. I am the culprit. Today she murdered my child, and one day she will take my life. Ziyu, your brother has loved you and protected you since you were young, and has never done anything to let you down. If he dies at her hands one day, will you remain indifferent?"
