"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? You didn't even bother..." Before Lu Anyuan could finish his words, Xu Yixing leaped onto him and hugged him tightly. Of course, Lu Anyuan's body reacted faster than his brain, and he responded with an even stronger hug.
One looks like a sloth, the other looks like a tree.
"What's wrong? Did you feel wronged at home?" Lu Anyuan could feel a cold liquid passing across his neck, just like the day when Yixing thought he was poisoned.
"Gu Shuang is dead, and Sun Ziyou is also dead." Xu Yixing whispered in Lu Anyuan's ear. No matter what happened in the past, it's better to be dead. It's better to be dead.
"Congratulations." Lu Anyuan said this with a hint of jealousy. Of course, he should be happy that Gu Shuang was dead, but his grandson was worried to death, so why was Yixing crying?
Is she crying for him, or for herself, or for the good times they had in the past?
Xu Yixing had cried enough and hugged enough, so she got off Lu Anyuan, wiped her tears, and put on a smile: "From now on, I probably won't have to cry for anyone anymore!"
"Then, will you cry when I die?"
"Bah!" Xu Yixing spat fiercely, and hurried to have dinner with Lu Anyuan before starting to tell him what happened today.
"Ah? Xu Yiwen is so stubborn? Why didn't I see it before?" Lu Anyuan was very emotional after learning that Xu Yiwen just didn't want to go home.
"It was beyond my expectation. I guess he took out all his anger at not being taken seriously in the mansion over the years on this occasion."
"He is not valued? Isn't he the only son in your family?" This question is a bit beyond the scope. Maybe it is because he has too many sons, and Lu Anyuan doesn't know that a son can also be bullied?
"You don't know, but my dad has always loved me the most since we were little, followed by him. Later, I became Yi Yan and was also very favored. Anyway, the brilliance of my two sisters has always overshadowed him, so you understand. Even if he is a person with no temper, he will hear some gossip every day when he interacts with those playboys."
"Well... I really don't understand, but it doesn't matter. Go on."
"What else is there to say? It seems that the Gu family asked her nephew to replace the filial son and mourn for his aunt."
"Since your father has sent people back to capture your brother, he must be very angry, right?"
"Of course. Whether Yiwen comes back this time or not, he'll definitely get a beating."
"Why do you seem quite happy when he gets beaten?"
"How could I be happy? This isn't Yiwen's usual silent demeanor. If he could really get angry, I'd be happy for him."
Lu Anyuan smiled and suddenly leaned close to Xu Yixing's face: "Fortunately, you went to the manor yesterday. If you had waited a day or two, this matter would have turned around."
"What's the turning point? Could it be that Jingzhao Prefecture can't handle the pressure anymore and is planning to close the case?"
Lu Anyuan nodded and whispered, "I heard a rumor today that Shen Yue is overwhelmed by this case and can't stand the constant pressure and bribes from people trying to close the case quickly, so he's ready to withdraw."
Xu Yixing was surprised: "Chen Yue, is his personality a shrinking one?"
"Of course not! But this case is a fabricated fantasy. There's not even a victim, so there's no reason for him to investigate. If he goes to anyone's house to ask, the polite ones will be asked to come out, while the impolite ones will be directly closed, or they will make him wait for three or four hours without showing up. How can he investigate this?"
Xu Yixing frowned. Even so, based on her understanding of Shen Yue, he would definitely not let go.
"To tell you the truth, it was actually a few gentlemen who somehow used their connections to get through to the Queen, and invited him to the palace for some tea. When Lord Shen returned, he had already prepared the sealed case file and handed it over to the Ministry of Justice."
"Wow!"
The person who came up with this idea is truly a genius. According to regulations, cases involving court officials of the third rank and above should be tried by three parties; difficult and complicated cases that have not been solved for a long time should also be transferred to the Ministry of Justice.
With these two rules, Chen Yue can seal the case and hand it over with full justification. Once it reaches the Ministry of Justice, the matter will be delayed indefinitely, until everyone is tired and forgets about it, or until another "Grandma He" explodes and kills everyone.
"But the Chen Yue I know is someone who fights to the bitter end, right? Could it be that the Empress is so effective?"
Lu Anyuan leaned back and struck a comfortable pose. “Sir Shen is indeed resolute, but this resolve is used to identify the country’s pests and protect the people, not to investigate the intrigues within the palace.”
Xu Yixing completely understood that Chen Yue was also a person who believed in "even a judge cannot judge family affairs" and was unwilling to spend time on these trivial matters. This was difficult to evaluate.
"Let me ask you one thing, did Grandma He do this cleanly?" Lu Anyuan leaned forward again, feeling a little worried.
"Of course. Even if she is resurrected, the handwriting is real."
"I'm talking about your public reasons. Is anyone really going to believe her sudden recovery?"
"Of course I do. Why not? Besides, I've been quietly protecting her family. Once the files are handed over, it's almost time for them to leave. It's too much trouble for them to stay in the capital."
"Well, since you are so confident, I feel relieved."
Xu Yixing patted his chest. Lu Anyuan was right. Fortunately, this matter was done quickly. If the news got out in a day or two, his father would definitely find a way to get Gu back and then kill her. Gu would have no reason to die in despair.
"Anyway, my family's affairs are finally over. What's the saying? A smile can end all grudges. I declare that all my grudges with the Sun and Gu families are written off. From now on, we will go our separate ways!"
Lu Anyuan was so amused that he chuckled. Yixing was really humorous. You laughed, but Sun Ziyou and Gu Shuang didn't. Can this grudge be forgotten so easily?
After laughing enough, Lu Anyuan wiped his tears and asked seriously, "Is your family's affairs really over?"
Xu Yixing didn't understand what he meant, so he just followed his gaze to the cabinet next to the window, where there was a small box with four small clay figurines of the Xu family on it.
Xu Yixing, Xu Yiwen, Xu Yiyan and Aunt Liu.
However, the little clay figurine representing his father was collected by Xu Yixing and placed at the bottom of the box. At this moment, it had been pierced through by the sticks of the other four little men and had silently rotted to the bottom.
Wow, Lu Anyuan observes very carefully, he can see this.
As someone who has loved piercing earthworms since childhood, Lu Anyuan naturally would not miss such details and could also feel the meaning of this action.
