Chapter 272 Half Brother
Lu Yuanze's palms trembled slightly.
"Lu family bloodline? What does that mean?"
"I am the only son of my father. Where does the Lu family bloodline come from? Clan leader, you can't protect outsiders! He messes up the Lu family bloodline. He must be drowned in the pond with that bitch!" Lu Yuanze's eyes were full of viciousness.
He was now dizzy with anger and betrayal.
How could he be willing to drive his own children out of the house for the sake of Pei and the pair of illegitimate children! !
The clan leader stroked his beard, and an old man behind him took out a family tree.
"This is the family tree enshrined in Qingxi. The last time I brought it here was when you wanted to divorce and kicked your children out of the house." The clan leader sighed.
Xu was a rare virtuous lady, and her calligraphy and painting were also extremely talented.
"Last time you personally crossed out your children from the family tree. Have you ever turned the page to see what's going on?" The clan leader looked at him with eyes full of pain.
"Before the old marquis passed away, he held my hand and said that you were mediocre and asked me to take care of the house and give you more advice. But why didn't you listen? You broke up our good family and turned it into this state."
The old patriarch sighed and turned the family tree to the front page.
"Take a look at your family tree. Take a close look!!"
Lu Yuanze was disheartened by what the clan leader said, and he looked at the family tree line by line with trembling hands.
Father Lu Baofeng, eldest son Lu Yuanze, eldest daughter Lu Wanyi.
Bastard...
Bastard Lu Yuanxi! ! !
"Bastard, Lu Yuanxi? How could my father have a bastard son? Impossible! My father's backyard is clean and tidy, and he has no concubines or maids, how could he have a bastard son! ! Clan leader, don't be fooled by this villain!" Lu Yuanze felt extremely humiliated and glared at Lu Yuanxi angrily.
"Your mother was the old marquis's first wife who shared the good and bad times with him. When the old marquis was away conquering the world, he sent all the rewards he earned back home, and she bought herself a few maids. Among them was a beautiful little maid named Qiao Niang."
"Before she came to Beijing, she couldn't stand Qiao Niang's pretty appearance and often tormented her."
"After entering the capital, the old marquis made great military achievements and was granted the title of marquis. Colleagues often gave him beauties as gifts, and even if the old marquis refused, your mother would still make a fuss after knowing it."
"She was also afraid that the old marquis would be seduced by a seductress outside, so she made up her mind to send Qiao Niang to him as a concubine."
"But the old marquis has a righteous character and refused countless times. Your mother coaxed him into the room to drink, and then put drugs in his wine, so that he and Qiao Niang could have sex."
"If that's all, that's fine."
"The old lady regretted it afterwards, and when she found out that Qiao Niang was pregnant, she went to extreme lengths. She sunk Qiao Niang into the moat."
"Fortunately, she was saved by a passing merchant, and she gave birth to Lu Yuanxi before she died."
"Qiao Niang held on until her last breath and handed the child to the old marquis. The old marquis had no choice but to raise the child in Qingxi. As for Yuanxi, the old marquis personally brought the child to the old house and entrusted him to our hands." The clan leader looked at him steadily.
Lu Yuanze's whole body was already cold and his expression was dull.
"We ask for money from the Marquis' Mansion every year. First, to comfort the wounded who followed the Marquis to fight, and second..." The patriarch glanced at Lu Yuanxi.
"Second, it is to raise your half brother."
"Even though the old lady is not of high status, the old marquis has never thought of marrying another one. He only wanted to leave the title to you from the beginning to the end. Later, when you married Xu, the old marquis even praised you, saying that your greatest achievement in your life was to marry a good wife. But unfortunately, you don't know how to cherish it." The clan leader sighed.
"The old marquis feels guilty towards Qiaoniang and her son, so he returns to Qingxi to stay for a while every year."
"You can't kill him, he's your half brother, your half brother from the same father!"
Lu Yuanze was already so angry that his head was dizzy. He actually had a half-brother!
He pointed at the old patriarch and Lu Yuanxi, his fingers trembling.
"Half brother? Ridiculous! He slept with his legitimate brother's wife, how can he be called a half brother? A lowly bastard born by a slave is worthy of being my half brother!" Lu Yuanze shouted angrily, how could he have such a half brother! !
All this made him so angry that his eyes turned red.
Lu Yuanxi, the adulterer, was actually his half-brother.
"So what if he is my half-brother? He must be drowned in the pond! I will never forgive them!" So what if he is my half-brother? He must be drowned in the pond all the same!
"Not only him, but even that wicked pair must be drowned! The child of an adulterer and his wife doesn't deserve to live!" Lu Yuanze's face was filled with murderous intent.
How much I loved you back then, how much I hate you now.
Lu Yuanxi had a calm expression and a slight smile appeared on his brows.
"Brother, please leave a trace of blood for the Lu family."
"Father has planned everything for you. You can't cut off the bloodline of the Lu family, can you? You expelled Lu Yanshu, Lu Zhengyue, Lu Yuanxiao, and Lu Chaochao, three sons and one daughter, from the family. If you also drown Jing Huai and Jing Yao in the pond, the Lu family's bloodline will be cut off and the family will be extinct!" Lu Yuanxi looked at him provocatively.
Lu Yuanze was so angry that he laughed.
"I'm still young and can still have children. How can my family be extinct?"
"Don't even think about letting your dirty and lowly bloodline enter the Lu family's gate!"
Pei suddenly shuddered and didn't dare to look Lu Yuanze in the eye.
"Really? Can my eldest brother still have children? Why don't we ask the imperial physician to come and take a look to see if my eldest brother can still have children." The man had a smile on his face.
Lu Yuanze suddenly remembered what Xu said.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"You said you want to find an imperial physician? Do you really think it's so easy to invite an imperial physician?" Lu Yuanze forced a sneer.
As soon as he finished speaking, people along the moat began to raise their hands.
"I, I, I... ahem, I just happened to be passing by here. If you need any help, I can treat you, Lord Lu."
"And I, I happened to be in town today, what a coincidence..."
The director raised his hand silently: "I am the director of the Imperial Hospital. Uh... I just happened to pass by here. If Lord Lu needs it, I can treat him for free."
The gray-haired and gray-bearded steward put on his shoes silently.
I heard that Lord Lu, who divorced his wife for true love and removed his children from the family tree, was cuckolded by his mistress and even ran away with his shoes.
Lu Yuanze? ? ! !
He raised his head suddenly and looked towards the moat.
On both sides of the moat, there were dense crowds of people and countless people were watching.
Among them, there are also many colleagues.
Lu Yuanze's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Lu Yuanxi bowed in the direction of the imperial physician and said, "Thank you very much, everyone."
"My brother has been taking medicine for two years, and I don't know what his health is like now."
Lu Yuanze's heart was beating like thunder.
His eyes were like knives as he looked at Pei.
Pei shrank her head and dared not look at him.
"Sir Lu, please show us your wrist." Three imperial doctors stepped forward one after another. The hospital attendant looked at Lu Yuanze's expression and frowned slightly.
After taking the patient's pulse, the imperial physician pondered for a moment.
"Sir Lu, are you taking any long-term medication?" asked the imperial physician.
Lu Yuanze's face was slightly stiff, and he nodded while suppressing his anger: "Yes, I took some tonic medicine a few days ago, but now I'm fine."
"My Lord, do you feel cold and shivering sometimes, three inches below your abdomen?"
"Do you suffer from insomnia, nightmares, and cold sweats at night?"
