Chapter 340 My son Jing Yu’s personal letter
This is really unbelievable!
But Qin Jingyu could more or less guess some of it.
Because of the successive blows in the past two years, Ping'an Hou is already at the end of his strength.
In fact, Qin Jingyu knew that Ping'an Hou was at fault, but the other party had raised him after all.
I hope he can cheer up and improve.
Qin Jingyu has very complicated feelings towards Marquis Ping'an.
Qin Jingyu took the brocade box from Wei Qingxu's hand, opened it, and saw a folded piece of paper.
Although the fire in the marquis's mansion was huge, the piece of paper was well protected by the jade box.
After the paper was unfolded, at a glance, it was indeed the handwriting of Marquis Ping'an.
But the beginning is...
"My son Jingyu wrote this personally."
Qin Jingyu: “…”
"I know I'm not worthy of calling you that."
"It's all my fault that we don't have a father-son relationship, because during the more than 20 years we were father and son, I was ashamed of you."
"I am not only ashamed of you, but also of the ancestors of the Lu family."
"If I had discovered earlier that the child was not mine, Su might not have had to die."
"You will also grow up under His Majesty's lap, and Mingyue will not have such a crooked temper."
“…”
"Later, I failed to recognize people and married the bad-hearted Feng. I also became a hands-off manager and did not personally teach navigation."
"I saw it all when Feng bullied you, but I chose to turn a blind eye."
"Later, he made one mistake after another and married Zhao Jing, who had ulterior motives..."
“…”
The letter clearly stated all of Lu Changhui's faults.
Some of the words seemed to be stained by tears, and some had changed shape.
Finally, Lu Changhui admitted in the letter that it was his fault that led to the decline of the entire mansion.
Feng was wrong, Zhao Jing was wrong, Hang Zhi was wrong, Ming Yue was wrong, and Chen Ruoying was wrong.
But in fact, the person who made the most mistake was himself!
He decided to go to the underworld and apologize to the ancestors of the Lu family.
A big fire turned everything back to dust.
"As for the child that Hangzhi left behind, I have already sent him to a good family in advance."
"From now on, she will have nothing to do with us, the sinful Lu family."
"Jing Yu, for the sake of our relationship as father and son for more than 20 years, please bury me with Su. I want to go to the underworld and apologize to her..."
Qin Jingyu held the letter tightly.
The once prosperous Duke Qin's Mansion has completely declined and turned into ruins.
Ouyang Rui and the people from the Dali Temple will handle the follow-up matters.
Qin Jingyu returned to the Qin Mansion holding the suicide note.
Lin Qingning came forward, and Qin Jingyu handed the suicide note to Lin Qingning without saying a word.
Lin Qingning also sighed after reading it, "I didn't expect that the Marquis would end up like this."
When Aunt Chen and others nearby saw this, they also felt very complicated.
They were the servants of Songtao Pavilion at that time. Later, they followed Qin Jingyu and left the Marquis' Mansion and came here.
I will follow you into the East Palace in the future.
The choice made back then has such a huge impact on the present.
If they hadn't followed, perhaps they would have been one of the charred corpses in the Marquis' Mansion.
Lin Qingning suddenly thought of someone, "That Shen Ruoying..."
Qin Jingyu: "She is not dead, and no one knows how she escaped, but she and the remaining survivors in Guangping Marquis's Mansion were taken to the Dali Temple."
“Those who are not guilty will be released.”
When Lu Changhui started the fire, he never thought of burying everyone in the mansion.
Most of the servants who died were probably loyal servants.
Because there were fires in many places at the same time, this was not something that Lu Changhui could do alone.
The once glorious Duke Qin's Mansion is gone, and those loyal servants are probably filled with despair and planning to follow their master.
As for the others, those who had time to escape naturally escaped.
Finally, Shen Ruoying was left...
Qin Jingyu hid Shen Ruoying in a well, but ended up encountering the drowned body of Lu Mingyue.
"She must have used this method to escape from the fire in Cuiwei Pavilion last time, hiding in the well."
If Lu Changhui knew that Shen Ruoying, the person he wanted to kill the most, was not dead, who knows if he would be so angry that he would come back to life.
Lin Qingning: “What will happen to Shen Ruoying in the future?”
Qin Jingyu: "She was the mastermind behind the murder of Hangzhi before, and Ping An Hou asked me to put it on hold for now, and he wants to handle it himself."
"But right now, it seems that he hasn't handled it well himself."
“So that case will be brought up again, and Shen Ruoying can’t escape this crime.”
I just don't know if anyone will plead for Shen Ruoying this time.
Lin Qingning nodded, "Father is playing chess with Old Bai, why don't you change your clothes before going to see him?"
Qin Jingyu had been leading people to put out fires, and he looked a little disheveled.
Qin Jingyu: “Yeah.”
He turned around and went to the house in the front yard to take a shower and change clothes.
But Lin Qingning noticed carefully that he was in a low mood.
Actually, it’s understandable.
After all, for more than 20 years, Jing Yu had always believed that Lu Changhui was his biological father.
Even if the relationship between father and son is weak, it is a living life after all.
No one can remain indifferent.
However, by the time Qin Jingyu had taken a shower and changed his clothes, he had adjusted his mentality and went to the main room.
This year is New Year’s Eve, a time for family happiness.
Who could have imagined that such a tragedy would happen in the Ping'an Marquis Mansion.
When Emperor Minghe met Qin Jingyu, he naturally asked about the affairs of the Marquis Ping'an Mansion, and Qin Jingyu answered truthfully.
He also talked about the suicide note.
Emperor Minghe sighed, "I knew from the beginning that he was a little indecisive, and didn't care much about the affairs in the backyard."
"When handling government affairs, he never made mistakes by bending the law for personal gain."
"But who could have imagined that household affairs would be such a mess?"
Speaking of which, Emperor Minghe still felt a little scared.
Because he felt that his original self was somewhat similar to Lu Changhui in handling household chores.
Otherwise, how could they allow someone like Su Tanxin to appear?
It's also his fault for not being able to recognize the person and for aiding the tyrant.
Of course, Emperor Minghe himself would not say it, and no one else dared to say it either...
Qin Jingyu looked at him and changed the subject.
"Father, Elder Bai, are you hungry? I have asked the kitchen to prepare the food. When are we going to have the feast?"
Bai Lao tried to smooth things over and said, "Indeed, I am a little hungry."
Emperor Minghe also nodded, "Okay, let's go have dinner together."
During the day, things got a little unpleasant in the palace because of the Queen Mother's affairs.
Later, a fire broke out in the Ping'an Marquis Mansion.
By the evening, everyone was sitting at the banquet, but there was still some silence and the atmosphere was inexplicably stiff.
Xiao Xiyao had enough sleep during the day and is now very energetic.
A pair of big, black eyes like gems, sparkling.
She waved her chubby little hand at Ming Hedi, "Master!"
The little girl could only say one word before and repeat it.
It was the first time I said two different words.
The main household, isn’t that grandpa?
Emperor Ming He was instantly delighted and reached out to hold his precious granddaughter on his knees.
"Yaoyao, do you like Grandfather Huang?"
Xiao Xiyao nodded, but then stretched out her little hand towards her biological father Qin Jingyu who was sitting next to her.
She is the youngest in the audience.
Naturally, she can sit on whoever's lap she wants.
Qin Jingyu immediately reached out and, amid his father's envy and jealousy, hugged his precious daughter.
The little girl stretched out her chubby hand and pinched the corner of her father's mouth, looking very serious.
"laugh!"
This little girl is so smart that it’s sky-high!
Because she found that the atmosphere of the entire dinner was a bit depressing, she took the initiative to amuse the highest-ranking person, Emperor Minghe.
Then, I saw my father looking unhappy again.
Just make daddy smile!
Qin Jingyu was stunned. Actually, he couldn't smile today, but he didn't want to disappoint his daughter.
The corners of his mouth raised stiffly.
Xiao Xiyao: “…”
She pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It seemed like she was about to cry because of her father's ugly smile...
Emperor Minghe couldn't bear it any longer, so he quickly snatched the child back from his arms and said speechlessly:
"Look at you, you're laughing so scary, you even scared Yaoyao to tears!"
Qin Jingyu was helpless.
Emperor Minghe coaxed his granddaughter again, "Yaoyao, how about letting your grandfather beat your father? Let him scare you!"
The little girl was about to cry, but she shook her head and said, "No!"
Although he can't speak well and is still young and doesn't understand many things, he still protects his father.
Qin Jingyu felt very warm and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
And just because Xiyao interrupted the party, the whole banquet became completely relaxed.
Everyone was no longer depressed and started toasting each other.
Little Xiyao soon felt sleepy, and returned to her mother Lin Qingning's arms, snuggling there and dozing off.
Lin Qingning looked at the lively banquet again, and she kissed her daughter on the forehead as a reward.
Wei Shuhe next to him said enviously: "I also want to have a daughter."
"I don't expect her to be as smart and cute as Yaoyao, but I'll be very happy if she's even 30% as smart as her."
Lin Qingning looked at her belly and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"But I feel like your baby is a son."
Wei Shuhe sighed: "Yeah, I feel the same way, but until it's ripe, I'll just keep praying."
Concubine Rou beside them listened to their conversation, then looked at Xiao Xiyao in Qingning's arms.
She suddenly remembered that she had just learned that she had given birth to a daughter.
She has never been that ambitious.
She has always liked her sister very much.
I thought that if I had a daughter, I would raise her like her older sister.
But who would have thought that ever since the child grew up, he had become distant from her and instead got close to Su Tanxin...
Concubine Rou remembered that the child in Wei Shuhe's belly was Su Yue's.
She pursed her lips but said nothing.
Overall, it’s a pleasure to be able to come to the Qin Mansion today to celebrate the New Year with my son and daughter-in-law, and to have so many people here to make it so lively.
Concubine Rou was already very satisfied.
I really hope it can be like this every year in the future.
But when she thought of the disappointed empress dowager, Concubine Rou sighed.
Lin Qingning took care of everyone at the banquet at any time.
There's no need to worry about the men, as they all started toasting each other.
As for the female relatives... Lin Qingning said with concern:
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you still worried about Concubine Jin?"
"I was busy just now and I didn't mention it yet. After dinner, I will take Concubine Jin's condition to Doctor Bai for a look."
Concubine Rou nodded.
She looked around and whispered in Lin Qingning's ear:
"Qing Ning, I'm so happy today. I hope I can celebrate the New Year with you next year."
"But when I think that the Queen Mother will definitely spoil my mood, I get very irritated."
"I don't know when she will be able to..."
