Chapter 373: Appreciation of Filial Piety
"How do you know?" Lu Lingyun asked.
Lu Kuan looked at Lu Lingyun, who had a haggard look on his face, and said distressedly, "General Cheng Qi brought his rewarded generals into the palace today. His Majesty originally wanted to summon my brother-in-law to the palace to receive the reward, but General Cheng Qi said that my brother-in-law learned that the Marquis had passed away, and he was afraid that his mother would be too sad, so he wanted to accompany the Marquis's wife to welcome the Marquis into the mansion first. I guessed that something happened in your mansion."
Lu Kuan is a smart man.
Moreover, being in a special position, he became even smarter and more cautious.
The matter concerned his own sister. Cheng Qi shirked the responsibility of His Majesty by asking Cheng Yunshuo to go to the palace to receive the award. He guessed that something might have happened to Cheng Yunshuo.
After listening to Lu Kuan's words, Lu Lingyun asked, "What does your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty appreciates your brother-in-law's filial piety."
Lu Lingyun: "......"
"Big sister, what happened to my brother-in-law?"
Lu Lingyun looked at her younger brother and sighed, "Your brother-in-law has become a monk."
Lu Kuan: “!!”
Lu Lingyun quickly told Lu Kuan what had happened in the past few days. After listening to it, Lu Kuan was shocked.
What was shocking was that his unreliable brother-in-law, who had brought him glorious military achievements by his father, abandoned everyone to become a monk at this critical moment.
Is he, is he crazy!
After the shock, he quickly reviewed the situation and felt that something big was going to happen in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Sister, the corpse of the Marquis has just been brought back to the capital. My brother-in-law has become a monk at this time, abandoning his wife and children. This is tantamount to being unfilial! Your Majesty will definitely punish you if he knows!"
Lu Lingyun frowned and said nothing.
Lu Kuan knew how much pressure she was under just by looking at her.
Lu Kuan's eyes were filled with worry and distress. It turned out that his elder sister had gone through such a big thing and was under such great pressure in the past few days.
Lu Kuan hesitated for a moment, "Big sister, if it really doesn't work, you should divorce your brother-in-law. After the divorce, I will take care of you, and I will also take care of the others in the mansion... Bing'an and Suying."
The situation is extremely dangerous now, and our dynasty governs the world with filial piety.
Once the emperor knew that Cheng Yunshuo abandoned his wife and children to become a monk when his father returned from battle, he would definitely punish Cheng Yunshuo.
In the lightest case, Cheng Yunshuo would be demoted and sent to a remote place to wait for a lifetime in an empty position; in the worst case, Cheng Yunshuo would be ordered to commit suicide.
It made no difference to Lu Lingjun whether Cheng Yunshuo was dead or alive, but Cheng Yunshuo was the only adult male in the Marquis's mansion.
Once he is convicted, the entire mansion will be affected.
Even in this case, the emperor would most likely only punish him, but the future of the Ningyang Marquisate would be gone!
Her children were still young. Bing'an or Binghao could only inherit the title of Crown Prince before they came of age, and the title of Marquis could only be conferred upon them when they came of age.
And because of Cheng Yunshuo's involvement, the future of Ningyang Marquisate was ruined and it became a laughing stock in the entire capital. Even if Bing'an survived until he came of age and inherited the title of marquis, this marquis would still be an empty-shell marquis with the most hopeless future.
The reputation of a mansion is its life.
One unfilial heir is enough to destroy the efforts of previous generations and the hopes of future generations!
Lu Kuan saw the disaster that Cheng Yunshuo brought to everyone, and after pondering for a while, he proposed this solution.
The Ningyang Marquis' Mansion is about to be destroyed, and he has to rescue his sister first.
How could a woman like her support such a shaky and stressful mansion!
As for Bing'an, Suying and their other children... Lu Kuan can provide them with some help after they grow up.
After all, their surname is Cheng, and they are not Lu Lingyun's biological children. There is no need for Lu Lingyun to be tied down by them for the rest of her life.
After listening to Lu Kuan's words, Lu Lingyun asked, "You want me to divorce you, but you want to support me for the rest of my life?"
"Why not?" Lu Kuan said resolutely.
His career is now stable, and he dare not exaggerate how high he can climb in the future, but it will not be difficult for him to protect Lu Lingyun for the rest of his life!
Lu Lingyun smiled and shook her head, "I will not divorce. Ningyang Marquis' Mansion needs me now."
She stood up and looked up at the cloudy sky in front of her, her eyes deep but extremely firm.
This is the most difficult time for Ningyang Marquis Mansion. Cheng Yunshuo can abandon everyone, but Lu Lingyun cannot!
Once she leaves, this mansion will be finished.
Old or young, no one can take charge.
Moreover, Lu Kuan raised her all her life?
This is absolutely not allowed!
It’s not that Lu Lingyun doesn’t trust Lu Kuan, but she can’t do such a thing.
At first, Lu Kuan could support her and let her live with him as his sister, but after a while, this identity became awkward for her.
She's just his sister!
Even if Lu Kuan and Nan Yi don't care, she won't feel at ease!
In the same way, she can help Lu Kuan once, twice or three times, but if she is asked to help Lu Kuan for the rest of his life, that is absolutely impossible!
Relatives only help each other in times of emergency but not in times of poverty. If one has to rely on others for a long time, even if one has some basic needs and does not ask for help, people will still look down on him or her, making him or her feel more and more uncomfortable. He or she will be disliked by others as well.
Instead of relying on Lu Kuan's care and living under his roof, it would be better for her to become the head of the Marquis's Mansion!
Lu Kuan listened to Lu Lingyun's words, "Big sister, you are under too much pressure. You are just a woman..."
"So what if I'm a woman? I'm the mistress of the house, so I'm naturally strong as a mother."
When Lu Kuan heard this, he felt the power emanating from her body, a power that even a man like him could not help but admire.
There was only one word in his mind for Lu Lingyun, and that was self-improvement.
Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself.
This gentleman has never had anything to do with gender!
Lu Kuan had great respect for Lu Lingyun. He looked at her for a long time, and completely gave up the thought of taking care of her and raising her for the rest of her life. He looked at Lu Lingyun with equality and even admiration and asked thoughtfully, "But big sister, what should we do now? Once His Majesty finds out, he will definitely punish us. Before that, we'd better do something."
After he finished speaking, Lu Lingjun sitting opposite him smiled gently.
"You said something very good today."
"What?" Lu Kuan was confused.
Lu Lingyun looked at him, his eyes as calm as before, "You said, His Majesty is grateful for the prince's filial piety."
"Your Majesty said that he is filial and fraternal, so he is very filial and fraternal. The prince's filial piety moved heaven. He was saddened by the death of the marquis and worried about his mother. For this reason, he shaved his head and became a monk to pray for his parents!"
Lu Lingyun stood with his hands behind his back, "Pass my order to spread the news that the prince is going to become a monk. Invite Master Yuanqing to come. I will ask him to personally ordain the prince!"
When Lu Kuan heard what Lu Lingyun said, his eyes suddenly lit up.
His sister's trick...is so powerful!
On that day, the news that Cheng Yunshuo was going to become a monk spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The Li family at this time.
When Lu Hanyi heard the news that Cheng Yunshuo was going to become a monk, she was stunned at first, and then she burst into laughter like a madman.
