Chapter 85 Counterattack
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunyao knew that the time was finally ripe.
She raised her sleeve to wipe her tears, nodded to Aunt Zhou, and then ran towards the main house.
Madam Lu frowned. Death was imminent, what tricks did Zhou Fu want to play?
"master--"
Mrs. Lu just opened her mouth, but Aunt Zhou no longer gave her a chance.
"General, a few days ago, because of the eldest young master's breakup with the Shen family, Sheng'er and Young Master Shen had a misunderstanding in the Imperial College, and Sheng'er was punched in the nose by Young Master Shen."
Aunt Zhou raised her head. Although her eyes were red and her hair was messy, her brows were firm.
"Ms. Shen is very considerate. She asked her personal maid to come to the house to explain the matter. Madam is also aware of this matter."
When Mrs. Lu heard Aunt Zhou bringing up the old matter again, she thought that Aunt Zhou was desperate and was going to bring up Zheng'er again. She was about to scold her, but was stunned when she heard this.
That's true... Shen Jiasui made her very angry that day.
But why did Zhou Fu say this?
As soon as General Lu saw Mrs. Lu's expression, he knew that what Aunt Zhou said was true. He frowned slightly, as he had never heard Afu and Yun Sheng mention this matter to him.
Aunt Zhou naturally understood the person beside her, and then she said:
"It was originally a misunderstanding between the younger generation. At that time, the general was worried about the affairs of the eldest young master. I did not want to add to the general's worries, so I did not mention it."
"In fact, that day, Miss Shen was worried that the maid was not eloquent, so she wrote a letter."
"I consider myself humble and I dare not neglect Miss Shen, so I asked Yao'er to write a polite reply to Miss Shen."
"Who would have thought that Miss Shen would be so fond of Yao'er that she even sent someone to write to her. After a few exchanges, she and Yao'er became close friends."
"Some time ago, maybe Miss Shen mentioned this to Master Shen, and Master Shen was also interested, and even sent a letter."
"The letter was delivered by Miss Shen, and I received it. It was all in the presence of the elders. How can it be said that it was a private exchange?"
At this time, Aunt Zhou raised her chin again and pointed at the two letters on the ground.
"This is indeed the letter Yao'er wrote to Miss Shen and Master Shen. It was written word for word in front of me. There is not a single word that goes beyond the pale. How can she be shameless?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her eyes widened.
Zhou Fu really lied without blinking an eye. She knew the origins of these two letters very well.
"Zhou Fu, you still dare to quibble. If you say so, why don't you take out the letter from Shen Jiasui and his brother?"
Zhou Fu was waiting for these words. She immediately turned her head and looked towards the door. She saw Lu Yunyao running towards her in a hurry, holding a pile of letters in her hands.
"father."
Lu Yunyao handed the letter over with both hands.
General Lu picked up a letter at random, opened it and saw that the name at the end of the letter was "Shen Jiasui".
Mrs. Lu came over hurriedly. She didn't recognize Shen Jiansui's handwriting, so she immediately concluded that the letter was forged by Aunt Zhou!
After all, Shen Jiasui is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. Looking throughout the capital, no legitimate daughter would lower herself to have such a close relationship with a concubine.
Especially since she is a concubine from Beppu, they are totally unrelated.
As far as she knew, Shen Jiasui had only met Aunt Zhou once or twice when she came to the Lu Mansion, and the two of them probably never even spoke to each other.
It seems that it was the idiot Lu Yunyao who failed to hide the truth from Zhou Fu, causing Zhou Fu to guess that it was her who did it and even fight back.
But Zhou Fu's methods were so crude. How could she possibly imitate Shen Jiasui's handwriting? This "evidence" was simply too fragile!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu asserted on the spot: "General, these letters are all fake!"
"Zhou Fu must have discovered that the letter was intercepted by me, and knew that the truth had been revealed, so she came up with this plan in a hurry."
"But how could she imitate Shen Jiasui's handwriting? It's full of loopholes!"
Aunt Zhou did not look at Madam Lu at all, but looked at General Lu, with a somewhat depressed look on her face, and said in a sad voice:
"At the beginning, I saw that the general was upset because of the young master's withdrawal from the engagement, so I desperately seized the opportunity of Miss Shen's letter and worked hard to repair the relationship between the two families."
"If the general wants to punish me, you can punish me for being rude and taking the initiative. As for the rest, I won't admit a single word!"
Having said this, Aunt Zhou finally looked at Madam Lu beside her, her eyes were cold, no longer respectful as before.
"Madam, when I first entered the house, the general made it clear that the mistress was a good steward of the household and had never made any mistakes. I should never think of going beyond the mistress in my life."
"I will take this as my guiding principle. I have always known your hostility towards me, but over the years, I have respected my mistress and kept my duty, and have never overstepped the mark."
"But even so, you still can't tolerate me. You want to beat me, scold me, and punish me. I dare not complain at all, but why do you point the spearhead at Yao'er!"
"In order to deal with me, Madam did not hesitate to destroy Yao'er's reputation and let the general bear the stigma of not being a good parent."
"There are so many people here today. If this matter gets out, how will the general, who has already been criticized for the young master's decision to break off the engagement, deal with it? In the future, who will dare to marry their daughter into our general's mansion?"
"Or, the Madam has already decided on Gu Xizhi as her daughter-in-law, and she indulges the young master's ignorance and rashly ruins the rest of his life, and also cuts off the young master's path to success!"
"This is a sinister and cruel act, and it makes people shudder. Is this the tolerance and vision that you, as the mistress of the house, should have?"
Aunt Zhou spoke righteously, her chest heaving as she spoke this. She glared at Madam Lu, and even though she was tied up and kneeling on the ground, her imposing manner did not lose a bit.
Mrs. Lu was forced to take a step back by Aunt Zhou's questioning, her face turning pale.
Lu Yunyao, who was standing aside, stared blankly at her aunt. At this moment, she felt respect, admiration and great shock.
A light flickered in her eyes, and she seemed to have a glimmer of enlightenment, and found her own confidence and role model.
"Zhou Fu, you...you are telling lies all the time!"
Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, somewhat at a loss for words. Compared to Aunt Zhou, her scheming was far inferior.
Fortunately, she did not forget that the basis of all these long speeches were in the letters in General Lu's hands.
These letters are all fake!
Even if Aunt Zhou said a lot of things, it couldn't change the fact that Lu Yunyao was having an affair with someone!
Thinking of this, she hurriedly looked at General Lu and saw that General Lu's brows were gloomy, as if he had believed what Aunt Zhou said. He was so anxious that he immediately grabbed the letter and said quickly:
"Master, Zhou Fu is a silver-tongued person, and what she said is all lies! These letters are irrefutable evidence. Zhou Fu—"
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside Ningxiang Courtyard, as if someone was coming.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Lu Yunzheng walking in.
