Lu Zechuan trembled with humiliation.
Lu Jing sighed, "Fine, Zechuan can continue kneeling. Xiao Ye has finally come home, so let him stay for a meal."
Lu Zhengye did not refuse.
Xie Yuqiong said defiantly, "I'm not eating. I'll stay here with Chuan'er."
Lu Jiwen snorted coldly, "Whatever, you're the one who spoiled him."
After speaking, Lu Jiwen followed behind Lu Jing and walked ahead.
Lu Zhengye followed casually behind.
Xie Yuqiong and Lu Zechuan were filled with resentment, but there was nothing they could do.
After the meal, Lu Jing tentatively asked Lu Zhengye to deliver food to Lu Zechuan and the others.
Surprisingly, Lu Zhengye actually agreed.
In fact, Lu Jing still hoped that Lu Zhengye could clean up this mess, after all, his career was at its peak.
If he takes over, it would be the best way to salvage the reputation of the dynasty and the Lu family.
And minimize the cost.
Lu Zhengye arrived at the ancestral hall with a lunchbox in his hand.
Lu Zechuan had already been helped to sit in a chair by Xie Yuqiong.
Xie Yuqiong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a look of heartache.
The two men glared angrily at Lu Zhengye the moment they saw him.
"What are you doing here?" Xie Yuqiong asked loudly.
Lu Zhengye strode closer, smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to see you all make a fool of yourselves."
Lu Zechuan was so angry that he tried to stand up, but the movement aggravated his wounds, causing him to wince in pain.
He then stared intently at Lu Zhengye, as if trying to pop his eyes out. "You did this, didn't you?"
Lu Zhengye chuckled, not denying it.
After the initial shock, Xie Yuqiong was filled with extreme anger. "You admitted it, it was you, you bastard, you came back to take revenge on us for your dead mother."
"Oh? My mother died of illness, why would I want revenge on you?"
A flicker of panic crossed Xie Yuqiong's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, hiding her emotions very well.
"Who knows what you're really thinking?"
Lu Zhengye's eyes held a chilling coldness.
Lu Zechuan said, "What else could he be thinking? He just wants to fight for the inheritance of the Lu family."
Lu Zhengye scoffed, "You really are stupid. Do you think even a pig can get into this so-called prestigious university?"
"Lu Zhengye, what exactly do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you can't possibly understand my mind, so stop showing off your wisdom everywhere. It's really ridiculous."
"As for why I exposed you, it's because..." Lu Zhengye looked at Xie Yuqiong with a sinister gaze and said, word by word, "Your good mother."
Xie Yuqiong's body stiffened.
Lu Zechuan's puzzled expression was genuine; it seemed Xie Yuqiong hadn't told him.
Lu Zhengye said, "Who saved Deng Xingwen, why she ended up with Chen Miao, and how they got in touch with the Underworld, I'm sure Madam Lu knows the answer best."
Xie Yuqiong was greatly shocked. "How did you know? What are you hiding from us?"
“So we admit it.” Lu Zhengye smiled sinisterly.
He kicked the stool where Lu Zechuan was sitting, and both mother and son fell to the ground.
Xie Yuqiong suddenly remembered the suffocating feeling she had when Lu Zhengye grabbed her neck the day he came home.
She hugged Lu Zechuan in fear.
“Lu Zhengye, how dare you! I am your elder, after all.”
"An elder? Is there an elder in the world who would want to kill a junior? I'm warning you, if you dare to touch me or anyone around me again, I'll send you straight to the underworld."
Lu Zhengye wasn't bluffing at all; he really meant to do it.
From the moment he saw Deng Xingwen, he wanted to kill Xie Yuqiong.
"What exactly are your skills?" Xie Yuqiong asked tremblingly.
Even the Lu family didn't know that she had rescued Deng Xingwen from prison, so how did Lu Zhengye find out?
Lu Zhengye naturally wouldn't reveal the truth to her.
The only reason he dared to admit that he did it was to vent his anger.
Furthermore, he was 100% certain that Xie Yuqiong wouldn't dare reveal today's conversation, since getting someone out of jail was illegal.
The Lu family would absolutely not tolerate such a person in their household.
Lu Zhengye raised the hand holding the lunchbox, then let go.
The lunchbox containing the exquisite dishes rolled to the ground, and the food inside must have been a complete mess.
Lu Zhengye said coldly, "Those who want to reflect on their actions should go hungry."
The last time he knelt here, no one brought him food.
Although Lu Zechuan still didn't know what had happened, he had already guessed that his mother had done something to anger Lu Zhengye.
He replied defiantly, "I won't give up easily, don't be so smug."
Lu Zhengye sneered, "I'll wait and see whether the day you turn the tables comes faster, or the day I kill you comes faster."
“Lu Zhengye, you are so heartless, you don’t deserve to be a human being,” Xie Yuqiong said.
"It's one thing to scold me, but Madam Lu, is there any need to scold yourself?"
Lu Zhengye retorted indifferently, "Why is it that when you kill someone it's justified, but when someone else kills you it's considered heartless? Don't be so self-righteous."
After Lu Zhengye left.
Lu Zechuan asked Xie Yuqiong what had happened.
Xie Yuqiong told Lu Zechuan what had happened.
"What a pity, so much explosives didn't kill this bastard."
...
Lu Zhengye returned to the front yard, and Lu Jing asked, "Has the food been delivered?"
"They didn't want it, they just knocked it over, and told me not to show my face in front of them again, so I left."
Lu Jing snorted coldly and said angrily, "Then let them go hungry and reflect on their actions."
"Reflect on their actions? They seem quite comfortable sitting there; they don't look like they're going to reflect on their actions," Lu Zhengye said sarcastically.
There was a hint of mischief and deliberate intent in his eyes.
Lu Jing's face darkened. He had personally given the order, and the mother and son dared to disobey.
"I'm going back now," Lu Zhengye said.
Lu Jing's tone softened, "Drive slowly."
After Lu Zhengye left, Lu Jing went to the ancestral hall in person.
By this time, Xie Yuqiong had already straightened the chairs that had been lying on the ground, but the lunchbox was still lying on the ground.
Seeing the two sitting there talking, Lu Jing flew into a rage and immediately punished them by making them kneel until the next morning.
Now even Xie Yuqiong can't escape.

Lin Yusheng went home to prepare dinner.
Winter is almost over, but the roses in the yard are still beautiful.
Lin Yusheng plans to have one last hot pot meal of the winter with Lu Zhengye.
There are no more topics related to the Dynasty on the trending searches now, and even videos posted by netizens have been taken down or their accounts have been banned.
This has further fueled the dissatisfaction among netizens.
But Lin Yusheng knew that over time everyone would forget about this matter.
After all, most netizens don't have memories, or they choose to forgive everything out of love.
The sound of a car came from outside the door, and Lu Zhengye opened the door and came in.
At this moment, Lin Yusheng was preparing ingredients in the kitchen.
Lu Zhengye took off his suit jacket and went into the kitchen, where he hugged Lin Yusheng's waist.
Lin Yusheng asked, "How is it?"
"This is truly gratifying."
