Chapter 15: Disloyalty, Unkindness, Unfilial Piety, Unrighteousness
As soon as these words came out.
Those who originally wanted to help plead for mercy, or those who felt that Zhu Suisui had gone too far, all fell silent.
The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Zhu Suisui's life experience is pitiful. This is an open secret of the Lu family. The Lu family owes her family. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Zhu Suisui's grandfather, there would be no glory for their Lu family today.
One cannot be ungrateful.
This has always been the family motto of the Lu family. This is why, after the turbulent ten years, even though Old Lady Lu had a bad background, the status of the Lu family remained unshakable. This is because the Lu family members were united and understood the ways of the world and how to behave as human beings.
Saving your life is a great favor.
As long as the Zhu family does not ask the Lu family to do anything illegal, any request they make is not excessive.
Although many people in the Lu family do feel that Zhu Suisui is not worthy of Lu Lanxu, if they had chosen someone else, they would not have such a feeling. It is all what the Zhu family deserves.
But the sequence of land orchids is different.
He has been smart and outstanding since he was young, showing amazing talents. He was trained to be the person in charge of the Lu family. Until now, he has not disappointed. The Lu family is developing better and better, and Lu Lanxu is the best among them. Whether the Lu family can move to the next level in the future depends on how Lu Lanxu leads the Lu family.
For a person like this, everyone naturally has different expectations of him.
From small things like words and deeds to big things like marriage and career.
It can be said that if Zhu Sui had not saved her life, she would have had no chance at all to be among the candidates chosen by the Lu family for Lu Lanxu's wife.
But now that she's married, it's one thing to look down on Zhu Suisui in her heart, but to say it out loud, isn't that stupid?
Especially when Mr. Lu is around.
Think about it, Lu Xueke is usually arrogant. Although everyone sympathizes with her as the only child of the fourth room, it depends on what happens. It takes no thought to say such things. Everyone feels ashamed to admit that she is a member of the Lu family.
The scene was still quiet.
No one dared to speak.
Until Mr. Lu spoke up, "Xue Ke, do you really say that?"
Some people bravely went to see Mr. Lu, but found that he had a blank expression on his face and showed no emotion at all.
My heart was shocked. This was the expression of the old man's extreme anger.
Lu Xueke still didn't know what she had done wrong. She still felt wronged. She was slapped twice on the face, and it was still badly swollen. It was painful and embarrassing. Her heart was full of hatred for Zhu Suisui.
Isn't she just from the country? Without the Lu family, she would be nothing.
Why do you challenge me and even dare to hit me?
When people get emotional, they tend to make mistakes.
Lu Xueke is a very self-centered person. When she heard the question from Grandpa Lu, she cried aggrievedly, "Grandpa, what I said is not false. Does she have to hit me? A savage like her is not worthy of staying in our Lu family."
"Shut up!" Lu Taian scolded Lu Xueke immediately after his daughter finished speaking.
Lu Taian didn't know what to say. How could his daughter still dare to say such things? Everyone knew that her father valued friendship the most, especially when it was such a life-saving grace.
Now that she was still acting unrepentant, Lu Taian was naturally shocked and angry.
As a father, you must set an example.
After Lu Taian finished speaking, he pulled Lu Xueke over and angrily said, "Why don't you apologize to your cousin's wife? How did I teach you to do that? You are talking to your cousin's wife like this? You are disrespectful to your elders. It's totally unreasonable!"
Lu Xueke didn't expect Lu Taian to ask her to apologize. Of course she didn't want to, and she yelled, "Father, I did nothing wrong. Why did you help Zhu Suisui? She beat me. Look, she actually beat me. I have never been beaten since I was a child. What right did she have?"
Speaking of this, Lu Xueke cried even harder.
She was really aggrieved.
She was clearly beaten, but it seemed like it was her fault.
Lu Taian was really speechless at his daughter's stupidity. He wanted to say something but was stopped by Mr. Lu.
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Xueke, "How dare you talk to Sui Sui like that? You are just relying on your surname Lu and the honor of your family. You take it very seriously. I really didn't expect that my granddaughter, Lu Jitong, would be such a person. Brother Zhu and I were both born in the countryside. Although he is my orderly, he is very smart. He carefully broke through several enemy ambushes."
"If he hadn't sacrificed himself for me, his current achievements wouldn't necessarily be lower than mine. Those who survived the battlefield enjoyed honor, but those who died don't have any honor? He sacrificed himself for the country and is a martyr respected by our Chinese people!
If my old brother knew in the underworld that his granddaughter was bullied in my Lu family, and that his great reputation was said by my granddaughter to be a bad reputation, I would not have the face to see him in my grave."
When he got excited, Mr. Lu's chest heaved up and down. He said in a stern voice: "Brother Zhu is a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country, but you insulted him by saying that he was lucky enough to sacrifice his life for me. This is disloyalty!"
"I have said many times that since Sui Sui has entered our Lu family, you should be kind and protective of her, but you always find fault with her. This is unfilial!"
"You have been taught by the Lu family since you were a child to be kind and tolerant, but you are so narrow-minded and selfish. This is unkind!"
"The Zhu family saved our Lu family's life, and we will never be able to repay them in our lifetime, but you never listened to them. This is unjust!"
"Lu Xueke, you are such an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust person that you are not worthy of being a member of the Lu family. Since you never take my words to heart, you don't have to come to my place from now on. I will just pretend that you are not my granddaughter!"
As soon as these words came out.
"Father!"
"Grandpa!"
“Grandpa!”
…
The Lu family had not expected the situation to be so serious, so they naturally did not care about anything at this moment and everyone spoke up.
Lu Xueke couldn't believe it. She was so scared that tears hung on her eyelashes and her face turned pale.
But Mr. Lu ignored him and looked at Zhu Suisui, his tone becoming gentler.
"Sui Sui, you have been wronged. It is my fault for not educating my granddaughter well. Grandpa apologizes to you, but please do not mention the divorce again. If anyone in the Lu family dares to want you and Lan Xu to divorce, they must disown me as an old man."
Zhu Suisui didn't expect things to develop to this point.
Lu Xueke's words were indeed harsh, but she was not expelled from the Lu family. She felt much better after giving him those two slaps. Moreover, she was now relying on Old Man Lu's power, and she was afraid that Lu Xueke would not be convinced by her. Not only that, but other people in the Lu family would be annoyed with her because of Old Man Lu's behavior.
Zhu Suisui sighed.
Always leave some room for others, and everything will be fine.
She wanted to show that she was not someone to be trifled with, not that she wanted to make an enemy. If the punishment was too severe, it would easily backfire and cause trouble.
