Chapter 225 Falling Apart
"Jingyao, you are a girl, and you will get married eventually."
"In the future, the only person you can rely on is your brother. You have to find a way to help Jing Huai..."
"No matter how strong a woman is, she will eventually have to rely on men throughout her life." Pei knew how strong her daughter's heart was. Even though she was only two years old, she could sometimes feel her daughter's disdain for her son.
She hid it very deeply, but Pei could feel it.
Her daughter is different from ordinary people, she knows it!
Everything she knew was not something that should exist in this world, and her eyes often showed a look that did not belong to a child.
Pei carefully arranged Lu Jingyao's dress.
A hint of disgust flashed across Lu Jingyao's eyes.
But it was fleeting.
She grabbed Pei's hand and said sweetly, "Mother, if I don't help my brother, who else can I help? Only when my brother is well, our family will be well."
"Humph, Dad has changed his mind. Obviously, he liked Mom the most before."
Lu Jingyao pouted.
Mrs. Pei pressed her eyebrows and said, "Whether he likes it or not, it can't shake Jingyao's position. Don't worry, Jingyao is now a daughter of an official family who has been included in the Lu family tree. Go and rest early, and mother will accompany big brother."
Only then did Lu Jingyao leave obediently.
The moment he turned around, the innocence and obedience on his face suddenly turned gloomy.
After Lu Jingyao left, Pei dismissed the maid and closed the door herself.
Pei pretended to be strong, with red eyes, and applied medicine to Lu Jinghuai personally.
"Brother Huai, what's going on? You promised me last time that you would never hang out with any man again! How could you be... caught by Jinniang!" Pei's hands were shaking. She had poured countless efforts into Lu Jinghuai, how could he do this! !
Lu Jinghuai looked unhappy.
He couldn't explain why he plotted against Saint Jingli but ended up being harmed by her.
It is also impossible to explain why the original intention to frame Lu Yanshu backfired.
Lu Jinghuai clutched the quilt in humiliation, not saying a word.
"Jinniang, I have sent someone to invite her. Don't worry." Pei sighed deeply, reluctant to scold her son.
"You...how could you not destroy Lu Yanshu's manuscript." Pei was very disappointed.
Pei knew how much her son weighed.
Lu Yuanze once kept her away, wanting to swallow up Xu's dowry and borrow Xu's help, but he was unwilling to be inferior to the Xu family.
But ever since Lu Yan's calligraphy was shown at the Ruten exhibition, Lu Yuanze gave up the idea.
Pei urged her son to study every day.
She urged her son frantically.
Lu Jinghuai recited his lessons until midnight at night, crying as he recited, but he still could not catch up with Lu Yanshu.
Instead, his temper became more petty. He dared not speak, and shrank back, unable to raise his head. He was increasingly outshined by Lu Yanshu.
"Since you want to plagiarize his article, you'd better do it cleanly. Don't you know how high your father's expectations of you are?" Pei's tone was not good.
She knew that her son plagiarized Lu Yanshu.
I've always known it.
Ever since Lu Yanshu's accident, she discovered that there were many articles in her son's room that did not belong to him.
But as he passed the examination and became a scholar, the light in Lu Yuanze's eyes was rekindled.
She would even cover up for her son.
"Why should I burn the manuscript?" Lu Jinghuai said indifferently.
"Mom, when I was young, you asked me to recite books every day and asked me to surpass Lu Yanshu. I couldn't recite them, so you made me kneel in the snow and recite them."
"My father praised Lu Yanshu, and you pinched me behind my back until I was covered in wounds."
"It's my fault that I couldn't keep Dad at home."
"I became Lu Yanshu's control group. Dad would shake his head when he saw me. You scolded me and beat me, blaming me for being stupid!"
"I killed Lu Yanshu and took his manuscripts. I stepped on him step by step and took away everything he had. I became a genius through his articles."
"Mom, I'm walking on thin ice. I'm afraid that others will expose me. I pretend to be arrogant every day, don't discuss knowledge with classmates, and dare not communicate with others. I'm afraid of being exposed! Mom...what about you? You are immersed in the beautiful dream that your son is a genius every day."
"I dare not let my father down, I dare not let you down, how dare I destroy the manuscript?" Lu Jinghuai looked at her expressionlessly.
"Father didn't have any expectations of me. What he valued from beginning to end was Lu Yanshu's talent!"
"I was born inferior to Lu Yanshu, my family background is inferior to Lu Yanshu, and my talent is inferior to Lu Yanshu. He is the legitimate son of the Marquis's mansion, and I am a maggot in the gutter! Living by sucking his nutrients."
"Why didn't Lu Yanshu die? Why could he stand up again?"
"Mom, I always have a feeling that God is helping him. Every time he is in desperate situation, there is always someone to help him. Why?!" Lu Jinghuai hated it.
Everything was going smoothly for eighteen years.
Why did all the plans collapse overnight?
Pei's face was pale, her hands were clenched so tightly that her knuckles were white.
"Mom, I always feel that we shouldn't be like this." Lu Jinghuai's eyes were dazed and he had a deep sense of disharmony. It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this...
What went wrong?
"Everything has been different since Lu Chaochao was born." Pei pursed her lips and expressed her guess.
"Before Lu Chaochao was born, your father cared about us, you were still a genius, Lu Yanshu was a cripple, Lu Yuanxiao learned to gamble... Lu Zhengyue liked Su Zhiqing more and more. Everyone was under control." Pei murmured.
"Yes, it's Lu Chaochao."
"Lu Chaochao is a variable." The two looked at each other and saw the raging fire in their eyes.
"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.
The bald monk pushed the door open wearing his monk's robe. The robe was worn crookedly and the belt was not even fastened tightly.
"Why are you here?" Pei glared and quickly closed the door.
The monk touched his bald head and said, "My son was beaten, and I can't come to see him? Whoever gave birth to him should feel the pain. Lu Yuanze is so cruel!"
Lu Jinghuai's face suddenly fell.
"Get out!" He looked angry and his eyes showed no disdain.
"How do you talk to your father? I'm your biological father!" the bald man spat angrily.
"If it weren't for me, would you be able to come to the Lu family to enjoy the good life? You ungrateful bastard! Do you really think you are Lu Yuanze's offspring?"
The man sat in the chair in a nonchalant manner.
Pei's eyelids twitched when she saw this.
"I wish it was Lu Yuanze's offspring. At least his offspring are very talented!" Lu Jinghuai sneered.
"You bastard, how dare you talk to me like that!" The bald man stood up suddenly.
Pei stopped him, looking angry: "What are you crazy about? If you keep talking nonsense, I will kick you out!"
Seeing that Pei was angry, the man sat down calmly.
Lu Jinghuai looked grim, and said to Pei: "I think you are crazy. How dare you bring him home!"
"You were actually caught by grandma. You must have lost your mind!"
Pei was scolded by her son and felt ashamed. She immediately pulled the bald man out.
"Why did you push me?"
"It's my own son, and I can't even take a look at him?"
Lu Jinghuai looked sinister, why?
Ever since Lu Chaochao came into being, everything has fallen apart and collapsed completely?
Lu Chaochao deserves to die!
Damn it!
