Chapter 198 Coercion
Rong Che was very happy.
Sitting next to Lu Yanshu, his eyes would occasionally drift towards Xu.
The whole night, the corners of his mouth were curved, as if he was drunk.
Lu Chaochao was roasting lamb with his left hand and chicken legs with his right hand, and his belly was bulging.
“Even gods wouldn’t change this day…” Lu Chaochao sighed.
Rong Che was so happy to hear this: "Little guy, do you know how the gods live?"
"It's not interesting." Lu Chaochao was bored.
Everyone ate and drank, watched the fireworks, and stayed up happily together. It was really warm and cozy.
Xu also paid the servants in the mansion three times their monthly wages and provided them with a feast, and everyone in the mansion was filled with smiles.
"Are you confident about passing the imperial examination after the new year?" Rong Che asked.
Lu Yanshu's brows were filled with warmth: "I will live up to my family's expectations and do my best."
At this moment, there was no New Year atmosphere in the Marquis' Mansion.
Pei had a cold face, and the little maid came to report tremblingly: "The old lady has pulled it again, please go over and clean it."
Pei was so angry that she threw the teacup.
The fragments splashed on the little girl's face, leaving a streak of blood.
The little girl was trembling but didn't dare to cry out loud.
"Is there no one else who can serve her except me? I stay by her bed all night long, and she needs to poop and pee and drink water at night. What does she want?" In just a few days, Pei's face turned pale from exhaustion.
The little maid cried and said, "After the person was changed, the old lady kept crying."
Pei knew very well that the old lady was deliberately torturing her.
Pei cursed and asked, "Where is Jinniang? It's New Year's Eve today, why hasn't she arranged to stay up all night?"
The maid lowered her head: "Young Madam is ill."
"A disappointing thing."
Pei knew in her heart that Jiang Yunjin was deliberately giving up the task.
After being married for several months, Lu Jinghuai had never slept with Jiang Yunjin even once. She secretly guessed that there was something wrong with her son's health.
She was anxious, but dared not reveal anything.
"Mother, let's ask the abbot of Huguo Temple for help." Lu Jingyao whispered.
"The abbot said that Yaoyao is destined to be with a noble person, and he will definitely give Yaoyao face. Let him check on the family to see if anything has been offended." Lu Jingyao can only pin her hopes on the abbot now.
Pei's eyes lit up.
"Yaoyao is so smart."
"Why didn't you think of that, mother?"
"The abbot gave the Buddhist beads to the old lady before you were born. It shows that he values you very much."
"It's a pity that the abbot has been traveling recently and will not return to Beijing until March." Pei regretted that she could not invite the abbot into the house immediately.
Pei was delighted and smiled.
She concealed the bitterness in her heart. Recently, Lu Yuanze often compared her with Xu, which made her extremely unwilling.
The abbot of Huguo Temple valued his own child very much back then.
You will definitely be able to turn the tide for yourself.
Lu Jinghuai returned home at some point and at this moment he was standing in front of Jiang Yunjin, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Jinniang, can you withdraw some money from your account for me?"
"There will be an exam next month, and I need to take care of some things." Lu Jinghuai's face flushed, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yunjin pursed her lips and smiled, "Husband, you and I are one, why should we separate you and me?"
"After staying up all night, tomorrow morning, can I give it to you, my husband?"
Tomorrow morning?
It means we will sleep in the same bed tonight.
Lu Jinghuai clenched his fists, suppressed his nausea, and said with a forced smile, "Okay. It's my fault for mistreating Jinniang during this period of time."
at night.
While she was bathing, Lu Jinghuai secretly took out the medicine from his sleeve, hardened his heart, and poured it into the cup.
Drink it all in one gulp.
When Jiang Yunjin came out, his face was already flushed.
The look he gave Jiang Yunjin was unbridled and passionate.
When Jiang Yunjin saw his fiery eyes, her displeasure instantly dissipated.
The room is full of spring.
The next day is New Year's Day.
Lu Jinghuai couldn't even wait to wish Pei a happy new year, so he hurriedly took out three thousand taels and went out in a hurry.
Jiang Yunjin just felt suffocated, as if last night was just a dream.
After waking up from the dream, Lu Jinghuai became indifferent again.
"Has he fallen in love with someone else?!" Jiang Yunjin was secretly sad and felt very uncomfortable.
"Follow him and see where he went. Don't let your husband find out." Jiang Yunjin felt anxiety between his brows and suspected that he had a mistress outside, so she immediately ordered people to follow him.
Lu Jinghuai seemed very flustered.
He didn't even use the palace carriage or take a servant with him. He sneaked into an alley alone.
This place is extremely remote and is also a civilian area.
There were three burly men standing in the alley.
As soon as the man saw Lu Jinghuai, he kicked Lu Jinghuai in the chest and knocked him to the ground.
"Are you kidding me? I asked you to take some New Year's money, but you made me wait all night?"
"Do you want to freeze us to death?!"
"Hurry up and give me the money. What are you dawdling for?" The man spat and reached out to take the money.
Lu Jinghuai gritted his teeth in humiliation and handed over the three thousand taels in his arms.
The man snatched it away, counting it and looking him over.
"You guys agreed that you would take the money and leave the capital! You will never come back to the capital again in your life!"
"You promised me that you wouldn't tell anyone about this!"
Saint Lady Jingli has already returned to Xiyue, but these three people are from Beizhao!
They stayed in the capital and often threatened Lu Jinghuai.
Lu Jinghuai has given money several times in installments.
These people open their mouths louder and louder each time.
"You say go, so we go. How shameless are we? However, if you can make the three of us happy, it's not impossible!" The three of them glanced at Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai had been raised in the mansion since he was a child. His skin was white and tender, even more delicate than that of a girl.
"Hehe, if you serve us one last time, we will definitely leave Beijing and never disturb Master Lu again."
"I heard that Master Lu just got married."
Lu Jinghuai felt a chill running straight to the top of his head, and his anger almost crushed his reason.
There was murderous intent in his eyes.
His nails dug into his palms so hard that blood could be seen faintly.
"Really? Can you really leave?" Lu Jinghuai asked indifferently.
One of the men reached out and wiped Lu Jinghuai's hand: "Tsk tsk, delicate skin and tender flesh, we brothers miss him so much."
"More interesting than women."
"Have you gotten used to it? We brothers have served you well, haven't we?" the man said in a shameless tone.
The maid following in the corner covered her mouth tightly.
His eyes widened in fear, not daring to make a sound.
What did she hear? !
"I heard that Master Lu's wife is the daughter of a second-rank official. If she knew that you had enjoyed sex with three of us brothers, I wonder if she would be able to accept it."
Lu Jinghuai gritted his teeth.
"For the last time! Wait a few more days, I will accompany you well... and let you have fun!" Lu Jinghuai laughed in anger, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The three men pinched his butt teasingly, then walked away laughing.
Lu Jinghuai stood in the snow, his shoulders covered with snow.
His life seemed to be the opposite of Lu Yanshu's.
It's a rough road, and there's no turning back.
