Chapter 59 Confession

At that time, Lu Yunqing was about to marry into the Li family. When she was packing her things, she accidentally saw the clothes that Su He gave to her second brother. Thinking that she would not go to her parents' home every other day after getting married, she sent someone to send the clothes to Weirui Pavilion so that her grandmother could hand them over to her second brother in person for good luck on the day of the exam.

Lu Yunqing treasured them so much because of their high value, otherwise she would have thrown them away at the end of the alley.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong!

Hearing her grandmother's cold question, Lu Yunqing's heart shuddered, and she stood up excitedly to explain: "Grandma, I didn't know that the clothes I sent to my second brother were stained with cat stuff! He is my biological brother, how could I harm him? It must be Su He's frame-up! Maybe she doesn't want to divorce her brother at all, so she came up with this method to hate us!"

Since living in Qingxinju these days, Lu Yunqing has been under house arrest and trapped in a small world. If Li Qi hadn't come to see her secretly, she wouldn't even be qualified to know that he had left the capital! Although Zhao Liuyun did not deliberately appear in front of her, the maids and old women always gossiped, and from time to time they passed on some words about her sweet relationship with Li Qi, which made Lu Yunqing furious.

Thinking of what Su He had said, Lu Yunqing felt even more disgusted. He had once called her sister-in-law so affectionately, but now it seemed that his sincerity was misplaced!

Since Su He was mentioned, Lu Yanxiu had to tell her about the purse: "It seems that she has made two preparations to plot against Zhili."

"That bastard!"

Thinking that Zhili is still suffering in prison and the Lu family will have no future, Liu stroked her chest and cried to the sky, with a sad face and uneasy heart!

"Yunqing, you go to the Dali Temple to testify for Zhili and prove that the clothes were given to you by Su He!"

After Lu Yunqing understood the general situation, she sat down in a chair sadly, twisting her hand silk, and was reluctant to speak.

Lu Yanxiu saw something and frowned, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Yunqing's face turned pale, and she lowered her eyes for a long time without answering.

She had been frequently looking for Su He to find out the truth about her personal matters in those days. If she went to the Dali Temple to testify for her second brother, saying that Su He had maliciously framed him, how would she explain it?

Now that Li Qi had already left Beijing, and Chen was eyeing her covetously, she was afraid that she would be caught if she had the slightest handle. If Su He told her the reason why he went to look for her, she would be like a fish on the chopping board, and everyone in the Li Mansion would look down on her even more.

Lu Yunqing was indecisive. On the one hand, she was worried that her second brother was trapped in the cell, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Chen would know what she had planned before.

"Lu Yunqing, speak up!"

Liu probably saw through her hesitation, squinted her eyes and said coldly: "You must remember, on the day of your wedding, if it wasn't for your second brother who was afraid that you wouldn't be able to show your dowry because you didn't have enough dowry, I would never give you any money! Today he is in trouble, and you don't even want to stand up and help him? When has our family ever had such a disinterested son and grandson?"

These words directly put Lu Yunqing on the moral dogma. She clearly remembered that as the wedding day was getting closer, the storehouse in the family was not sufficient, and the dowry prepared was also very few. The second brother did stand up and said that the dowry was too little, and he was afraid of losing face for the Lu family, but the grandmother was very reluctant to give her a little dowry.

Even those dowries that were pieced together from all over the place were still not pleasing to Chen's eyes.

Lu Yunqing knew that her two brothers were more important to her grandmother than herself, but she couldn't help but feel sad when she heard her say that. If her mother was still alive, she would definitely help her without hesitation.

"Grandma, I..."

She bit her lip and couldn't continue.

Lu Yanxiu lost his temper and scolded in a low voice: "It's just to testify for your second brother and identify Su He. What's the meaning of you hesitating for a long time? Can you bear to watch your second brother suffer in prison?"

Lu Yunqing explained: "I can identify Su He, but I'm afraid of her..."

"Yanxiu! Don't waste your words on her! Now that she is married and has grown independent, she doesn't listen to our control. You take her to the Dali Temple quickly and bring Zhili back to me safely!"

Liu was only thinking about Lu Zhili in her heart, and her tone of voice was particularly unpleasant. When Lu Yunqing heard it, she felt sad.

She knew that if she didn't agree, she would be an enemy of her family. After thinking for a while, she finally said resignedly: "I will testify."

Liu and Lu Yanxiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly arranged a carriage to send Lu Yunqing to the Dali Temple. As soon as she finished speaking, a servant ran in and reported: "The second young master pleaded guilty!"

Lu Yunqing was surprised and inexplicably relieved.

Upon hearing the news, Liu's legs went limp and she almost fell off the bed.

"Stupid! It was clearly a scheme by the bastards, why did you plead guilty?"

She cursed and fell on the bed, her eyes were full of stars. Yang Pozi hurriedly served by her side, fearing that she would faint.

Lu Yanxiu's face was grim. He called the servant over to question him, "Tell me the whole story."

The servant bowed his head and replied, "The second young master admitted the crime of cheating. He said that the clothes were handed to him by Lord Su, the Minister of Rites, and he was framed by Lord Su!"

Lu Yanxiu knew that Lu Zhili wanted to bring down Su Ronghai, but he didn't expect him to use this method?

Examiners and candidates were in the same Gongyuan, so it was common for them to meet. In addition, Su He had interceded before, and Su Ronghai had helped Lu Zhili many times. This was no secret.

Lu Zhili actually admitted the crime and wanted to drag Su Ronghai into the water?

Lu Yanxiu was no longer as flustered as before. After sending the servant away, he came to Liu's bedside and comforted her, "Grandmother, my second brother has a noble person to protect him, nothing will happen. The prison is dark, and my second brother, a scholar, may not be used to sleeping. I'll ask someone to send him some bedding to keep him warm."

Liu said it was ready and told the two brothers to be careful.

She glanced at Lu Yunqing, who was relaxing beside her, and her eyes were full of disgust. She said disdainfully, "If there is nothing wrong, go back to the Li Mansion."

"Grandmother, are you okay..."

"I'm fine, I won't die for a while."

Liu turned her face away, not wanting to talk to Lu Yunqing.

When the news of her pregnancy before marriage came out, it had already brought shame to the Lu Mansion. Today, she was asked to come back and identify Su He, but she was unwilling?

Mrs. Liu didn't know how the Lu family could have such a shameless, heartless and ungrateful person!

The cold and contemptuous tone made Lu Yunqing feel sad. She stood up hastily, bowed to Mrs. Liu, and fled from Weirui Pavilion.

There are many children in the family, and their minds are bound to be biased. Lu Yunqing only realized now that she was so disliked by her grandmother!

That's right, I thought she could be a co-wife and a proper wife of Mr. Lu after marrying into the Li family, but I didn't expect that she could only live alone in Qingxin Residence. This is not helpful to the Lu family, and naturally my grandmother will not like it.

"Yun Qing?"
