Chapter 39 The fun is coming
"Hey, hey, brother Jing Huai, I was just joking."
Zhou Lin and Wang Yuechuan hurriedly chased after him.
"Jing Huai, why is your servant having a conflict with Lu Canfei? Is this a misunderstanding?" Wang Yuechuan asked.
He knew that this young genius Lu hated being compared with Lu Yanshu.
Even when he was taking the examination for the scholar, some people took his essays and mistook him for Lu Yanshu.
"Will it not implicate Brother Jinghuai? Brother Jinghuai will take part in the autumn examination in half a year. The dean is counting on you to win the first place." Zhou Lin was a child of a poor family and was quite aloof.
Lu Jinghuai does not care about family background when making friends, and is quite famous among the children from poor families. The children from poor families secretly regard him as their leader.
A few people entered the teahouse and sat on the second floor overlooking the world.
There were also people around me talking: "Damn it, I don't know who put a Bodhisattva lamp last night, and it made me kneel for half the night... Let me catch him and beat his butt until it blooms!"
"My head was swollen from the bump, and I thought it was a manifestation of the Bodhisattva!"
"I don't know which bastard did this."
"Speaking of which, the fire at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion yesterday was really big. I wonder if anyone was burned to death." Everyone was talking about it.
Lu Jinghuai sat in the crowd, his handsome face full of gloom.
Zhou Lin's eyes were full of smiles: "Last night was so funny. The whole city was praying. Everyone wanted to catch the bastard who lit the lantern."
Lu Jinghuai: His mother forced him to kneel all night, praying for success in the imperial examination.
Shameful.
Lu Jinghuai had no appetite, so he found an excuse and left the group.
After he left, Wang Yuechuan chuckled, "Why are you pretending? You stole Lu Yanshu's fiancée, how can you not have any grudges?"
Zhou Lin opened his eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
"Lu Yanshu had a fiancée, and he became disabled because he tried to save her from drowning."
"Lu Jinghuai, it must be the girl who fell into the water."
Zhou Lin exclaimed.
"The man who saved her became a cripple, and gave up her bright future. She actually abandoned Lu Yanshu and got engaged to Brother Jing Huai?" Zhou Lin was incredulous.
"The whole capital is bragging about how talented the man is and how beautiful the woman is, making them a perfect match."
Wang Yuechuan said disdainfully: "Lu Yanshu has become disabled, who will speak for him? Who would want to offend the last disciple of Jinghong Academy, a talented young man who is very likely to pass the imperial examination? Of course, they will support him."
Zhou Lin frowned, feeling that Lu Jinghuai's filter was somewhat broken.
"Brother Jing Huai is confused."
"He is aloof and unworldly. He never looks down on the poor and doesn't care about family background. How could he be so foolish!"
“He even brought out a lot of books with his own annotations, which everyone could circulate.”
This is also extremely admirable.
"Oh, when will I finally get wise? Before he was ten years old, Brother Jing Huai was just like everyone else. After he turned ten, he seemed to have gotten wise, and his articles are full of spirit and are praised by everyone." Zhou Lin sighed, looking envious.
"The Lu family really produces geniuses, two of them in a row." Zhou Lin muttered, without noticing Wang Yuechuan's thoughtful eyes.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the Marquis' Mansion was tense.
"Why did you go to the police again? You are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, but you are always involved in such things! If you make a fuss, do you think the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion will be good?"
"Yanshu and Chaochao are not injured!"
"Hurry up and retreat!" The old lady almost gritted her teeth.
Last night, the fire was so big, but no one was burned to death!
Xu's eyebrows were slightly cold: "Mother, what you said is funny. Someone burned down the mansion and killed my son. Why didn't you report it to the authorities?"
"Could it be that mother set the fire?" she asked casually, scaring the old lady so much that her face turned pale.
Lu Yuanze hurried over and his eyelids twitched when he heard this.
"Yunniang, what nonsense are you talking about? Yanshu and Chaochao are the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion. How can you doubt mother? Wouldn't that hurt mother's heart?"
"Hurry up and admit your mistake to your mother!"
Lu Yuanze said as a matter of course.
Xu said lightly: "Just stick to the facts and speak human words to human beings." When talking to ghosts, you naturally speak ghost words.
These words made Lu Yuanze even more angry and his face turned red.
The old lady couldn't even get up in one breath!
When did Xu become so unfilial and unbrotherly!
"Yanshu and Chaochao were set on fire by someone maliciously, but I can't report it to the police? What's the logic behind this? Aren't they descendants of the Marquis' Mansion?"
"My Lord, tell me, can I report this to the police?" Xu looked at him with a smile.
Lu Yuanze's heart skipped a beat.
"Why can't I report it to the police? Of course I should report it to the police, but why did you arrest Lu Jinghuai's servant? He is someone who has nothing to do with you. Madam, I know that the child is your sweetheart, but you can't wrongly accuse a good person."
Lu Yuanze sighed.
Xu used to be so obedient and sensible, why is she so unreasonable now?
Xu curled the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at his expression carefully.
"Of course we found out that the second uncle's son of the servant's wife was Lu Jinghuai's servant." This relationship was complicated by thousands of twists and turns. If it weren't for Chaochao, no one would have been able to find it out.
Lu Yuanze was stunned for a moment. He was afraid that even he himself didn't understand the complicated relationship.
"How...how could it be possible?" Lu Yuanze couldn't even imagine that he actually found out!
"Why did he burn the inkstone and books?" Lu Yuanze was a little confused.
He had no idea that Lu Jinghuai's genius was plagiarized from his elder brother's article!
The treasure he was so proud of was a fake.
He always thought that only Lu Chaochao would be burned!
Make room for Jing Yao.
"Last time, the master said that he had a noble character and asked Yanshu to testify for him. Is this a noble character?" Xu's expression was indifferent.
"I heard that his identity is unknown and he has been living alone with his mother. Maybe he is an illegitimate child of someone in the capital." Xu sneered, not caring at all about Lu Yuanze's twitching eyelids.
"I don't know which senior official was so confused and blinded that he gave birth to such a bad person."
"Enough!" Lu Yuanze could not hide his anger.
Lu Yuanze's forehead was covered with cold sweat: "Yunniang, the book boy did it, and there is no evidence to prove that it was him."
"Let's not misunderstand a good child." Lu Yuanze clenched his fists slightly.
Seeing that Xu was furious, he did not dare to persuade her to withdraw the lawsuit and could only leave the house in a hurry.
Xu's eyes were cold and she watched him leave.
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. He is even worse than an animal. What kind of person did I marry?" Xu bit her teeth until they bled.
[Humph, the scumbag dad is looking for someone to rescue Lu Jinghuai again...]
[He has a very good personal relationship with Lord Chen, the Minister of Rites. If he hadn't had someone's help, would he have been able to keep it a secret for so many years? 】
Minister of Rites?
Wasn't it through the influence of her mother's family that he introduced her to the third-rank Minister of Rites?
Xu was so angry that she was shaking.
Fortunately, fortunately there is Chao Chao.
Xu had been playing with Chaochao for half the afternoon when she heard Dengzhi come to report angrily.
"Madam, Shutong took all the responsibility and was detained, but Lu Jinghuai..." Dengzhi's eyes turned red with anger.
"I heard... someone is the guarantor." And the other party is quite powerful.
"Why don't we go back and invite our uncle?" Dengzhi couldn't swallow this.
Xu waved her hand: "Come here..." She leaned over and whispered in Dengzhi's ear, and Dengzhi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Oh, ma'am, you are so awesome!" After saying that, he jumped out of the door happily.
