Chapter 75 Threat
Lu Qiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and walked straight in that direction.
When the man saw her approaching closely, he subconsciously wanted to escape, but was grabbed by the collar.
"Good brother, how are you?" Lu Qiaoxiao smiled softly, the same as when she coaxed Lu Yong at home.
In his previous life, Lu Wenpei had gotten a minor official position by bribery and drinking, but he would often cause trouble for his younger brother. At his secret instigation, his younger brother was even suddenly transferred to Qingyan County, thousands of miles away.
If I hadn't gone to Qingyan County to work, my brother wouldn't have died...
If my brother hadn't died, my mother might have lived a few more years...
Cause and effect are cyclical. Even though it was a past event, she had truly felt the pain, which was heart-wrenching and unbearable.
If it weren't for God's blessing, giving her a chance to start over again—
Lu Qiaoxiao felt a bit bitter in his heart, and his vision became increasingly blurry. Suddenly, a curse sounded in his ears:
"Lu Qiaoxiao! You have no shame! What have you done to such a good family?"
"You did something stupid like breaking off the engagement with the Pei family, which has brought unrest to our family!"
"How dare you imprison my mother? You are breaking the law. You—"
Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore and was suppressed by her anyway, Lu Wenpei decided to have a showdown and break up with her.
If she makes a fuss, she must ruin her reputation and be condemned by everyone in Beijing.
"Come here, tie him up for me." Lu Qiaoxiao ordered his subordinates.
Looking at his crazy look, she felt happy in her heart.
Teach this ignorant boy a lesson, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day and causes trouble to his family.
No matter how bad Lu Qingyue and Lu Xiuzhu were, at least they knew how to use all possible means to earn a future for themselves.
What about the person in front of me?
He takes the money at home and squanders it outside, and when something goes wrong he expects others to clean up the mess for him.
Lu Qiaoxiao felt upset when he thought that the Yong'an Marquis's family business in the previous life was ruined by such a lazy, stupid and mediocre person.
"Lu Qiaoxiao, how dare you! I'm your brother--" Lu Wenpei's arms were held, and his head and body were pressed to the ground, with dust all over his face.
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes were filled with chill. She forced a smile and said in a cold voice, "You still remember that I'm your sister?"
"You secretly used your connections in the officialdom to buy medicine on the black market, condoned desperate criminals to roam the streets and rob women, and accepted bribes privately. Were you deliberately trying to make father unhappy?" Lu Qiaoxiao suddenly leaned over and whispered in his ear.
Lu Wenpei's eyes were filled with fear. He looked at Lu Qiaoxiao as if he had seen a demon. His lips trembled as he asked, "How—how did you know?"
"Not only do I know, I can also tell you right now. The Yong'an Marquisate is now under my control. If you want your mother to be safe and sound—"
"Then just be quiet and be honest, and don't have any more inappropriate thoughts."
The people standing nearby only saw Lu Qiaoxiao whispering something in Lu Wenpei's ear, but they didn't know what she said to make Lu Wenpei so scared.
Boss Gu understood the situation clearly. He had always heard that Marquis of Yong'an, Lu Yong, favored his concubines and neglected his mistress.
It seems that the relationship between Commander Lu and his half-brother is not good.
Colleagues like Lu Wenpei, who only know how to buy relationships with money and spend every day in brothels, are insignificant to Boss Gu.
So he didn't step forward to stop it.
Seeing Lu Wenpei's resigned look, Lu Qiaoxiao added coldly, "You should have noticed that your mother hasn't replied to any of the letters you sent home these days."
"What did you do to her?" Lu Wenpei stared at her intently, but there was a hint of tears in his voice.
If his mother were gone, there would be no one in this world who would love him.
Both of his sisters are married and don't care about his life or death.
It's all this woman's fault! She's the one who turned the Yong'an Marquisate into the state it is now in.
Lu Qiaoxiao smiled but didn't answer. He straightened up and glared at him coldly: "If you do your job well, everything will be fine at home."
"If I find out again in the future that you have been committing evil and oppressing the people, slacking off during your daily duties, or even having any improper thoughts."
"Be careful with your whole family."
The last sentence was said by Lu Qiaoxiao as she leaned over and whispered softly in Lu Wenpei's ear.
Lu Wenpei felt the chill beside him and his shoulders trembled unconsciously.
How could this woman in front of me still be the heartless daughter of the Marquis's family?
Could it be that because she had long been connected with the ruthless Prime Minister Shen, and that as the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together," she became so ruthless, vicious and cruel today?
After Lu Wenpei finished his shift, he wandered around the street with a gloomy look on his face.
He never thought that after more than ten years of prosperity in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, how could his family change so quietly in one day?
On the contrary, it was Lu Shiyou. Why could that brat work in the Hanlin Academy and interact with scholars every day, while he——
But he can only be like a rat wandering on the street, fighting with all kinds of people every day, and often has to be on duty until late at night, and is as tired as a dog.
Now he has an elder sister to suppress him, leaving him with ambitions but unable to realize them.
The more Lu Wenpei thought about it, the angrier he became. He bumped into a wall head-on and subconsciously cursed, "Where did this jerk come from? Can't you see me, your grandfather?"
Before Lu Wenpei could see who was coming, his vision went dark, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he fainted instantly.
————
After work, a sedan chair was waiting outside the door.
As expected, Lu Qiaoxiao caught a glimpse of the hand that just lifted a corner of the carriage curtain.
The fingers were slender and strong, with distinct joints. Two fingers gently pinched the curtain. Under the slanting light of the sunset, the nails were translucent pink.
Just one glance can give people a very vivid feeling.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoxiao's face immediately turned red.
She had her period yesterday and slept in the same bed with Shen Yuheng, who had tortured her so much that her waist was still sore.
He held his breath and quickly got into the carriage. Just when he was halfway in the carriage, he was pulled into the arms by a strong force.
My earlobes and neck are itchy.
Hugging and kissing.
"Aheng, there's a coachman outside..." she whispered embarrassedly.
Although the two have been married for some time, she still can't get used to this man's behavior at any time and anywhere.
Who is saying that Shen Yuheng is unattainable and Liu Xiahui is not interested in women?
Seeing her shy and timid, Shen Yuheng's cold eyes flashed with joy. He supported himself on the inner wall of the carriage with one hand, holding her in his arms, and looked at her leisurely:
"I just went to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. Mr. Jiang said that my mother-in-law is very good at managing the household and business. In the past three months, the shop's revenue has tripled."
"Doctor Xiao said that my mother-in-law is in good health and looks healthy. She has the potential to live a long life."
"Commander Lu is on duty, and he will receive a reward every day."
"I'm lonely at home, Commander, what do you say—"
"What reward do you want?"
