Chapter 273: No more descendants
"The adults may have a stabbing pain in their abdomen from time to time, which is fleeting."
"Moreover, he has no interest in women. He can't even muster... interest." The imperial physician's words made Lu Yuanze look ashamed.
He immediately retorted: "I was stimulated some time ago and left the root of the disease, but now it has been cured."
He had these symptoms immediately after suffering a stroke.
He has been taking medicine for two years and is now fully recovered.
The envoy nodded to Lord Lu and said, "Excuse me, but let me take a look under your eyelids."
The messenger stepped forward and gently lifted Lu Yuanze's eyelids, only to see a blood-red patch under his eyelids and a dark blue tinge to his eye sockets.
"Lord Lu, this is not caused by stimulation."
"You have been poisoned." The envoy said decisively.
"Impossible! I can now clearly feel the fire in my abdomen, it feels warm, and the symptoms have been significantly alleviated!" If the other party was not an imperial physician, Lu Yuanze would probably slap him on the spot.
The court official's face darkened: "If my inference is correct, Lord Lu was poisoned when he was about to enter the palace."
"Due to the stimulation of the stroke, Lord Lu's condition has rapidly worsened."
"Lord Lu has taken tiger and wolf medicine many times, and continued to nourish himself, causing the poison to become more and more powerful."
"Have you had blood spurting out during this period of time, and have you vomited blood many times?"
When Lu Yuanze heard this, he felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet all the way up to his crown.
The imperial physician took one look and knew exactly what was going on.
"It's not just emotional stimulation, it's also because of poisoning. Lord Lu has been severely poisoned... I'm afraid..." Before the envoy could finish his words, Lu Yuanze immediately pulled the envoy's arm.
"Imperial Physician, please save me. Court Eunuch, please save me..." Lu Yuanze was not afraid at all and his face changed drastically.
"Lord Lu has been taking medicine for a long time, but I'm afraid there is no cure. This poison will not harm his life. It's just..." The court attendant gave him a dark look.
"It's just that Master Lu will never have any more children in this lifetime."
I will never have children in this life.
The faith in Lu Yuanze's heart collapsed.
He fell straight backwards.
"Bang!"
Lu Yuanze's entire body was stiff as he slammed against the bluestone slab, causing his head to bleed.
"Master Lu!" the imperial physician shouted in panic.
They just wanted to eat the melon, but they didn't dare to eat Lord Lu to death.
Everyone hurriedly helped Lu Yuanze up, only to see blood gushing from his forehead and his eyes looked like a demon from hell.
"No way, to have another offspring?!!" Lu Yuanze's voice was trembling.
He tightly grasped the imperial physician's hand and spoke word by word, "You said, this poison requires long-term medication?"
The doctor paused and said, "Yes."
"Based on the symptoms, Lord Lu has been poisoned for about three years."
Three years?
Lu Yuanze suddenly raised his head and looked towards Pei.
Pei's face turned pale, and she kept backing away, shaking her head, not daring to look at him out of fear.
Lu Yuanze thought carefully and realized that Lu Jingyao was two and a half years old this year. Ever since the abbot predicted that this baby would be invaluable, and seeing Lu Jinghuai's rising fame, he had not returned to the Marquis' Mansion for a long time.
At that time, Pei often made soup for him with a bulging belly.
He often felt deeply moved that Jiaojiao was considerate and gentle, and even when she was pregnant, she never asked anyone else to take care of him.
Now think about it...
Lu Yuanze knew what Pei was thinking, and he rushed forward like a madman, but the clan leader blocked his way.
"Bitch, bitch!! It's bad enough that you cheated on me, but you actually poisoned me!!"
"How dare you poison me!"
"How have I treated you unfairly? You actually want my Lu family to be extinct!!"
"Don't try to stop me. I will strangle this vicious woman to death with my own hands! She not only cheated on me, but also poisoned me! She killed an official of the imperial court, she must not live!" Blood was oozing from the corners of Lu Yuanze's mouth, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
Lu Yuanze seemed to be crazy at this moment, and the clan leader hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill him!"
"Ridiculous, ridiculous!" the clan leader couldn't help but curse in his heart.
What an injustice.
He glared at Lu Yuanxi again. How dare he cheat on his brother? How dare he let his brother raise a child for him?
But when I really think about it, I can't help but sigh.
He was dealt a bad hand, but he managed to have a good ending.
"Why can't I kill her? She deserves to die, Lu Yuanxi, Lu Jingyao and Lu Jinghuai all deserve to die! All of them deserve to die!!"
The clan leader angrily shouted, “The reputation of the Lu family is all because of you! If you kill your wife in public again, how will the Lu family face the world? The old marquis had a great reputation all his life, but because of giving birth to a fool like you, he lost his title, his grandson and granddaughter, and even his beloved daughter-in-law!!” The clan leader could not help but curse.
"Even if I have to die, I can't die in your hands!" The clan leader hated this idiot for acting on impulse. If he killed his wife in public, he would probably lose his position.
The Lu family worked hard to get from the countryside to where they are now, but he ruined it all!
Lu Yuanze looked at him crazily: "What face do you still have? The Lu family has become a joke in the whole capital!" From the moment he divorced, they have been a joke!
The patriarch looked at him coldly.
"You are no longer able to bear children. All legitimate sons and daughters will be expelled from the family and removed from the family tree. There will be no descendants under your name!"
“Since Yuanxi is the old marquis’s bloodline, we should recognize Yuanxi as our ancestor, and register Jinghuai and Jingyao under his name. This will also preserve a trace of bloodline for the Lu family, so that it will not end up without descendants!” The patriarch had already made plans.
"You dare!" Lu Yuanze almost vomited blood.
The bastard brought his illegitimate child into the house, but what about himself?
Will you hand over the Lu family to us? No, absolutely not!
This is a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times more terrible than betrayal.
"He cheated on me, cuckolded me, poisoned me, and made me childless. I even wanted to bring him into the mansion to recognize him as my ancestor, and to make him and his illegitimate offspring the only bloodline of the Lu family. I won't accept this, I won't accept this!!"
"So what if you are unwilling and don't want to? Do you want the Lu family to be extinct? Will the foundation that the old man has worked so hard to build be wasted?" The patriarch's cane made a clattering sound.
Lu Yuanze was so stimulated by these words that he lost his mind.
He was cheated on.
He was cuckolded by his half-son, but he couldn't even kill him and the illegitimate offspring. Instead, he welcomed them into his house and made them the true bloodline of the Lu family!
Lu Yuanze suddenly pushed the old patriarch away, rushed forward like a madman, grabbed Pei's neck tightly, and his face was ferocious.
Like a demon from hell.
"You deserve to die, you deserve to die! You all deserve to die!!"
"I have nothing, nothing at all! Damn you!"
Pei's ruddy face turned blue and purple under his tightening grip.
She opened her mouth tightly, trying to breathe in air.
But her neck was strangled so tightly that her throat felt burning with pain, so severe that she couldn't even cry.
Drops of hot tears fell on Lu Yuanze's hands.
"Separate them quickly, quickly!" The clan leader didn't dare to let Lu Yuanze kill his wife in public. The reputation of the Lu family was already in jeopardy. If he killed his wife again, the Lu family would be destroyed!
"No, we can't separate them!!" the tribesmen shouted in panic.
Suddenly...
Outside the city, a clear silver bell sounded.
When everyone looked up, they saw countless birds surrounding them in the sky. In front of the team, there was a terrifying beast leading the way, which made people feel frightened and awed.
"What is that?" the people murmured.
"It's the Southern Kingdom's envoy. Someone is coming from the Southern Kingdom!!"
Everyone looked outside the city. Lu Yuanze had a crazy look in his eyes and was strangling Pei's neck tightly.
Pei was dying.
