Chapter 138 The truth of the past

Su He had a letter that Chen left for her before she died. The letter explained that Lu Zhiping's death was unusual, but it did not know the reason.

Lu Zhili dared to use this matter to establish a good relationship with the Guo family, so there must be some secret hidden in it.

She wanted to ask for Lu Huaihe and the princess.

"Lu Zhiping died early, and was killed by mountain bandits. I don't know the reason, and there is nothing to ask."

Liu insisted. She didn't believe that anyone else could know more about those old things except herself.

Also, why did Su He, an outsider, care so much? It was nothing more than looking for an opportunity to take credit in front of the princess, taste the sweetness, and show off.

Liu thought that she had begged someone humbly in order to find Lu Zhili today, but that didn't mean she had to agree to anything.

Seeing that she didn't tell the truth, Su He didn't get annoyed. He turned his head and asked Qingyun to take out the things. Soon, a set of dirty men's clothes appeared in front of him.

Liu saw the familiar style on the clothes and immediately recognized that it was what Lu Zhili wore on the day he disappeared.

The reason why she remembered it so clearly was that when Lu Zhili left home that day, it was the heaviest fog in the early morning, and Liu reminded him to put on more clothes.

The clothes that were originally on him appeared in front of him at this moment.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but panic: "You...what did you do to him?"

Su He lowered his eyes slightly, gently stroking the clear jade bracelet in his hand, and said in a leisurely tone: "Old lady, be more sincere, you will see him soon."

"You! You imprisoned Zhili for no reason. Do you know that this behavior has violated the law? Do you believe that I will ask the people from the government to arrest you?" Mrs. Liu stood up angrily. She didn't expect that it was Su He who imprisoned her grandson and did such a thing as stripping people's clothes? It's really obscene and shameless!

Qingyun raised his hand weakly: "I am from the government."

"You!"

He was a subordinate of Lu Huaihe and used to be inseparable from him. How could Mrs. Liu not recognize him?

She pointed at Su He and the others and laughed in anger, her voice trembling: "Okay! Okay! Su He, don't think you have become powerful just because you have the support of the princess. Even if this matter is brought to the emperor, I am still right! You...you just wait and see!" Liu

knew very well that even if Su He imprisoned Lu Zhili, his life would not be in danger. She just wanted to find out the cause of Lu Zhiping's death.

That was a secret related to her life, how could she tell others casually?

She stood up, glanced at Su He and the others with a gloomy face, and walked out angrily, ready to complain.

Unexpectedly, before her foot stepped over the threshold, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Amid the cold wind, Zhaoyang walked in wearing gorgeous clothes. Her slightly raised chin and contemptuous eyes reminded Liu of the difference in her status.

Liu was suddenly shocked to see her here. I wonder

how many of her words were heard?

The death of Lu Zhiping was a knot in Zhaoyang's heart.

As a member of the royal family, what could a man not get?

But she had to be a widow for Lu Zhiping until now.

Others laughed at her for being stupid.

Only Zhaoyang knew that others only regarded her as the eldest princess and the master. Only Lu Zhiping regarded her as a lady and wife who shared joys and sorrows with him.

When Lu Zhiping's body was transported back, his face was severely disfigured. Zhaoyang cried until she fainted after seeing this tragic situation.

It was not until she looked at the black mole on his neck from a distance and confirmed his identity after the identification of the accompanying personnel that she was sure that he was dead. Afterwards, even if she remembered that many details were not right, the person had already been buried. Zhaoyang did not want to disturb the peace of the deceased, so she did not investigate further.

However, after hearing what Su He said today, was there something strange about Zhiping's death?

"Princess, you..."

"Ahe asks you a question, answer it completely." Zhaoyang said word by word.

She stood very close to Liu, and she seemed to be able to sense the coldness on her body.

Liu was not afraid of Su He, but she was afraid of the princess.

As soon as she appeared, Liu's momentum of clamoring to complain disappeared instantly.

"But I really don't know..." She still wanted to cover it up.

Nanny Tang ordered the maid to close the door, and took out a shiny dagger from somewhere, waved it in front of her eyes, and deliberately said to Liu: "In our house, we can kill a chicken or a duck casually, and no one will be surprised even if blood is seen."

Su He looked at Nanny Tang's serious threat, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Liu was really scared.

She stepped back, staring at the dagger in Nanny Tang's hand, and asked in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do?"

"I can't bear to see the princess frown. I will kill anyone who makes her frown! Anyway, I have enjoyed the glory and wealth with the princess, and my grandchildren have grown up and are in school. I have no regrets in this life. It's not a pity to die!"

"I say! I say everything!"

Liu squatted beside the table with her hands covering her head, very scared.

She had seen Nanny Tang's temper before.

If she really fights with her life, she will not acknowledge anyone's words.

Liu has never enjoyed a peaceful life until now, so how can she be willing to die?

She still has a lot of private silver hidden away!

"Princess, what do you want to know? Ask as much as you want. I will tell you everything I know!"

Seeing Liu bow her head,

Zhaoyang sat down, and Nanny Tang immediately asked Su He's question again.

How did Lu Zhiping die?

Back then,

Lu Zhiping was about to go back to his hometown with his brother Lu Yaozong to worship his ancestors.

At that time, in Lu's mansion, Liu wanted to hold a birthday ceremony for her father, but she didn't have enough money, so she thought about Zhaoyang's dowry. According to the ancestral system, the eldest princess should build a new mansion and live separately after getting married, but Zhaoyang didn't want Lu Zhiping to be gossiped by others, so she was willing to move into Lu's mansion and live with her aunts and sisters-in-law.

Zhaoyang's dowry was so much that it could not even fit in several courtyards. Sometimes, people in the mansion would secretly take some of it away for other purposes, but Zhaoyang just turned a blind eye and did not care.

Until Liu's father wanted to hold a birthday ceremony, he actually asked Zhaoyang to borrow 10,000 taels of silver.

Zhaoyang refused to lend the money, which made Liu unhappy and she said bad things to Lu Yaozong.

On the way back home, Lu Yaozong thought that if he complained to Lu Zhiping, he might agree to lend the money. After all, they were brothers and everything could be discussed.

However, Lu Zhiping was unwilling and asked Liu to discuss it with Zhaoyang herself. After all, those were her own dowry. Besides, it was Liu's father's birthday gift and had nothing to do with him and Zhaoyang. There was no need to step forward for the sake of his brother and sister-in-law.

In a few words, the situation became urgent.

Lu Yaozong actually pushed Lu Zhiping first. Just as the carriage was driving on the mountain path, there were several sounds of fighting inside the carriage, and then the carriage tilted down the mountain.

Lu Yaozong got up first, and after seeing Lu Zhiping and the driver fainted, he had a bad idea.

If even his own brother doesn't help him, what's the point of keeping him?
