Chapter 10 Thunder Strike the Scum Dad
"Ma'am, someone really was struck by lightning."
"It's a house in Ping'an Lane in the north of the city. They say the male owner was killed."
"A month ago, someone spent a huge sum of money to buy the house. The lady was very charming and looked like she had just come out of confinement. Her daughter was only forty days old and was born on the same day as our young lady. She also had an eldest son who was said to be very good at studying and had a great reputation in the capital."
"Clang..." The teacup in Xu's hand fell to the ground.
It shattered with a sound.
"Madam..." Juexia was startled. Seeing that she had burned her hand, she hurriedly brought cold water to soak it.
Xu was unaware of anything.
"You have...an eldest son? How old is he?" Her voice was hoarse as she grabbed Juexia's hand, causing pain.
Jue Xia didn't understand, but felt that the lady's face was solemn, so she hurriedly said: "The eldest son is seventeen years old, he is the same age as Master Yanshu. He is also seventeen this year... It's a bit of a coincidence that the other son's surname is also Lu."
Xu was struck by lightning.
Seventeen years old?
Xu opened her lips, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't utter a word.
Dengzhi glared at Juexia and hurried forward to calm the lady down: "Madam, it may not be the Marquis, it may not be the Marquis..." She felt guilty about saying this.
Juexia and Yingxue looked at each other and their expressions changed.
Juexia's face turned even paler. The young man's surname was Lu, Lu Jinghuai.
Xu took a deep breath and bit her lower lip until it bled.
"Why did he do that? Why did he treat me like this? For him, I broke up with my family, cooked for him, respected his mother-in-law, and raised his brothers and sisters. Why did he treat me like this?"
She didn't even dare to think that maybe this was a scam from the beginning.
"The bastard he has outside is already seventeen years old. Seventeen years old!" Xu felt chilled just thinking about it.
She gave up everything for this man, and he actually has another family outside!
"Madam, this is not your fault. He has let you down. There is no need to get angry and hurt yourself." Dengzhi and several maids tried to comfort her with red eyes.
Lu Chaochao sighed softly. Her mother had been PUA-ed for more than ten years. She was so pitiful.
"Madam, even the heavens cannot bear to see this. I'm afraid it was the Marquis who was struck by lightning yesterday." Juexia spoke hurriedly. She had been gossiping before, but now her tone was as if he deserved it.
"God has opened his eyes and knows the grievances in Madam's heart. This is to vent Madam's anger."
"Yesterday's thunder struck at a good time. That vixen had just finished her confinement and was eager to seduce a man. It struck the two of them in broad daylight, right on the bed. Their white bodies, with nothing on, were all blackened by the thunder. When the neighbors came in, the vixen was covering her face and screaming."
Xu’s eyes widened. What a coincidence?
Jue Xia nodded: "I'm so embarrassed this time."
Xu wiped her tears and snorted coldly: "You deserve it!" But she couldn't suppress the resentment and grievance in her eyes.
Hate it?
She hated it.
How can I not hate it?
But since she came of age, he was the only one in her eyes and heart, and she even severed ties with her family just to be with him. She was unwilling to give in. How could she cut it off?
"Madam, the Marquis has returned home and is now at Deshan Hall. Please go over there." The little maid outside the door reported in a low voice.
Xu frowned slightly, and Dengzhi's eyebrows twitched.
I don’t know what happened to the Marquis after being struck by lightning.
"Take Chaochao with you and take a look." Xu stood up and went towards Deshan Hall.
Deshan Hall is located to the east of the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. The old lady likes quietness, so she built a Buddhist temple in the east courtyard. On weekdays, she turns a deaf ear to the outside world and only cares about worshiping Buddha.
Cross the inner lake of the city and pass through the long corridor, and you will reach Deshan Hall.
[Oh, a burnt smell.] 】Xiao Chaochao sniffed. There was a faint smell of burning in the air.
The closer you get to Deshan Hall, the richer the atmosphere becomes.
It happened that Yingxue held her up a little straighter, and Lu Chaochao glared at her, "What a big boiled egg!" ! [Slurp...] She also sucked her saliva vigorously.
Xu was stunned and suddenly looked up at the braised egg.
There was a bald black head sitting in the middle, without a single hair, completely bald and burnt black.
In her mind, the handsome, elegant and handsome young man was someone she could never let go of...
It seemed like it collapsed in an instant.
Xu was stunned on the spot and didn't even react for a long time.
"Why don't you come in? What are you doing standing in the wind?" Noticing her gaze, the old lady scolded her for the first time.
Xu's mind was filled with her daughter's exclamation, "Braised eggs, braised eggs, braised eggs..."
She hated Lu Yuanze, but after being brainwashed for so many years, she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw him. It was like being split into two, half hating him and half loving him.
But now...
The heartache is gone, and my mind is filled with the lingering thought of the boiled egg.
Her eyelids twitched, and she asked as she entered the room, "My Lord, what happened to you? Where's your hair? Did you have alopecia areata?"
[My mother is really good at hurting people’s hearts. She did a great job.]
[It is better to be a punching bag than to go crazy and irritate the whole family]
Lu Yuanze's mouth sank: "There was a fire in Ping'an Lane, I went in to rescue people and got my hair burned. It's nothing serious."
"I have submitted a memorial to His Majesty and will be resting in the palace for the time being."
Xu's eyes turned slightly cold. Save people?
He really knows how to flatter himself.
"The master is also in Ping'an Lane? What a coincidence. I heard that someone was struck by lightning in Ping'an Lane. It is said that the couple was having sex in broad daylight and were struck naked by lightning. Could it be that the master was from that family who put out the fire?" When Xu heard her daughter's cheering, she couldn't help but say another sentence.
Sure enough, Lu Yuanze's face turned ashen and his fists were clenched tightly.
"You are a woman, why would you listen to that?"
Xu held the handkerchief and curled the corners of her lips slightly.
"The whole Kyoto is spreading the news, and I was just hearing a joke." This made the mother and son opposite them instantly look gloomy.
[Hehehehe...] Xiao Chaochao laughed with ill intentions.
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but prick up her ears. She could only hear her daughter's thoughts occasionally, so she had to listen carefully.
[He and his mistress were cheated on, and their naked buttocks were seen by others, so they dared not go back. The whole city is looking for him now. Unfortunately, he covered his head when he ran, so no one saw his face.
Mrs. Xu frowned, she really polluted her daughter's ears.
"You, just stay at home and serve Yuanze more. He works hard for the mansion all year round and rarely gets a rest. What's the use of a woman if she doesn't know how to serve a man?" The old lady was a little displeased when she heard Xu's ridicule.
"You are not allowed to contact your mother's family. You might be charged with a crime punishable by beheading." The old lady glanced at her sternly.
Xu sat up straight.
"What do you think, Lord Marquis?" Xu looked at him dimly.
Lu Yuanze glanced at her and said, "Of course I feel sorry for my father-in-law's suffering, but His Majesty is furious and no one dares to persuade him. I can only do my best to protect the Marquis's Mansion. Yunniang, you are a sensible person, please don't harm the Marquis's Mansion."
He paused.
"Don't be sad about Yanshu. Yanshu has a bad fate. Miss Jiang is quite famous for her talent in Beijing. It would be bad to delay Miss Jiang's fate." His eyes flickered, which made Xu suspicious. What good would it do him to cancel the engagement?
He is obviously Yanshu's father, so isn't he the one who got slapped in the face?
