Chapter 146: Juehou, why don’t you know what’s good for you?
Lu Zhiyi seemed to know that Wang was coming, and asked the servant to wait outside the yard early in the morning.
"Madam, the fifth young master is waiting for you in the study." Seeing Wang, the servant walked over from a distance and took her to the next room.
As soon as she entered the study, Wang started to question him, "Lu Zhiyi, are you crazy?"
"Did the mother receive the gift from her son?"
Wang's face suddenly turned pale, and her chest rose and fell violently. "You, you rebellious bastard... do you want to piss me off to death?"
"As long as mother is at peace, son promises that nothing will happen."
"I'm doing this for your own good, why don't you know what's good for you?" Wang was so disappointed. "I think you've been bewitched by that vixen Ye Lanyin, and you even dared to mess around with the matter of your offspring and bloodline!"
"Why did my son act up?"
"At this point, you are still pretending to be ignorant. Do you dare to say that the one in the yard now is your son?"
"If it's not my son, then whose son is it?" Lu Zhiyi pinched his eyebrows.
He felt more and more that Wang was suffering from delusional disorder.
Every time, he would come and demand an explanation based on his own inferences without hesitation.
This time it was even more excessive. She was so outrageous that she even suspected that her own grandson was not of the Duke's bloodline.
Not to mention Lan Yin, even he couldn't stand it.
"You know whose son it is." Wang advised earnestly, "I asked the doctor, a baby born seven months premature cannot survive. Even if you want me to have a grandson, you can't just pick up a child from outside, and you shouldn't help Ye Lanyin and Princess Ning to cheat me. Yi'er, you are still young, you have plenty of opportunities to have a child. Listen to my advice, send this child away, don't let him ruin the bloodline of our Duke's Mansion."
Lu Zhiyi was furious, "How can there be a grandmother like you in this world? You actually hope that your grandson will die!"
"Yier, that's not what I meant. I don't want to watch you do something stupid. Do you want to help her hide this from our ancestors?"
"Kang'er is my son. I know this better than anyone else!" Lu Zhiyi's face turned pale.
He saw the child being born with his own eyes, how could it be false?
"Yier, don't be so stubborn!" Wang stamped her feet anxiously. She said that she would never let a bastard of unknown origin enter the Duke's Mansion.
From now on, her thoughts and even the entire Duke's Mansion will be ridiculed!
Lu Zhiyi was extremely annoyed and subconsciously looked outside.
He couldn't stand this farce for a moment.
He had already sent someone to invite his father, why was he so slow in coming!
"Yier, you listen..."
Before Wang could finish her words, footsteps were heard outside the study.
"Haven't you had enough of the trouble?" Following a majestic voice, a middle-aged fat figure walked in.
When Wang saw Lu Rong, she rushed over and said, "Second Master, you've come at the right time. Come and take care of your good son. Now he doesn't even listen to me..."
"I think you're the one who should be in charge!"
Before Lu Rong could say anything, a cold voice came from the door.
The old lady with white hair walked into the study room with the help of a nanny, leaning on a cane. When she saw Wang, her old eyes shot out like knives.
"Grandma?" Lu Zhiyi came forward immediately.
Ever since the old Duke passed away, Madam Zhou has become the backbone of the Duke's Mansion. However, as she has aged and her health has deteriorated in recent years, she has completely given up and handed the Duke's Mansion over to her two daughters-in-law. They divided the family but not the mansion, and the two families still live in the Duke's Mansion.
The younger generations were concerned about her health and didn't dare to disturb her easily.
Many things in the mansion were kept from her.
But who is the old lady? She has been in charge of the family for half her life and is known to be a worrier. There is no way they can hide this from her.
Usually, she turned a blind eye to all matters, big or small, in the mansion as long as they did not involve the interests and future of the Duke's Mansion. But now that the second house was becoming more and more messed up, she could no longer sit still.
"Mother, mother..." Seeing Zhou's stern expression, Wang suddenly became speechless.
The old lady was decisive and strict. She had set rules in front of her for so many years, but she had never approved of them.
Whenever she saw this face, she couldn't help but get nervous.
"You have ruined both knowledge and action, and you want to ruin intention now?" Zhou angrily knocked the cane in her hand.
"Zhixing has become what he is today because of your doting! He is your firstborn son, and it is understandable that you treat him as the apple of your eye. It is fine to raise him with precious things, but you shouldn't spoil him and make his character precious. He is the eldest son of the second wife. If the eldest son cannot establish himself, how can he set an example for his younger brothers?"
When she thought of Lu Zhixing's appearance of being all show and no substance, she couldn't help but feel sad.
When he was little, he was such a smart kid.
"And his marriage. I asked someone to ask for a daughter of the Su family for him, but you despised her and loved her, thinking that I was harming him. Yes, the Su family was demoted and fell into decline, but the Su family is a clean family in our dynasty, with students all over the world. You, a short-sighted person, actually broke off the engagement immediately after the Su family fell into trouble. Where do you think our mansion stands? Do you know that because of this matter, our mansion has been criticized by people until now?"
In Zhou's view, Wang was selfish and stupid. She only cared about the present and herself, and did not consider other unmarried girls and boys in the family at all.
"She was clearly a girl for Zhihe to see, but because of your selfishness, you tore apart a pair of lovers! Zhihe is still devastated to this day, but you don't know how to reflect on yourself. Instead, you keep putting people in his room. Is this a solution to the problem?"
Lu Zhihe has a weak character and is not capable of being used for important tasks. This is also caused by Wang's neglect and favoritism!
"You should never, ever indulge Zhixing and the fourth son's wife... You have ruined the century-old reputation of my Lu family!" When she learned about this scandal, she almost died of anger.
"A good girl from the Xia family married into our mansion, but she was tortured to death by you in just a few years. I want to see how you will explain to the Xia family." Zhou's voice was cold and stern, and she wished she could skin Wang alive and pull out her tendons.
She forced someone to death and didn't care about anything. In the end, Yun An collected Xia Yi's body.
The second son's wife was also a hot-tempered person. After witnessing these dirty things, she would rather cut her hair and become a nun in the temple than stay in the mansion.
What has the Duke's Mansion become? This is a hell of a pit!
"Mother, daughter-in-law...I know I was wrong." One thing after another came down on her, and Wang's body was shaking violently as she knelt on the ground.
Zhou couldn't hide her disgust, "It was my fault. I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage in the first place."
It is absolutely true that you should marry a virtuous woman.
She and the old Duke gave birth to two sons, but neither of them found good wives.
Needless to say, the eldest princess was domineering and intolerant. If she hadn't kept a close eye on him, even Zhizhou would not have survived.
Even if Zhizhou survived by chance, he would have a lifelong disability and would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Now that I’m almost thirty years old, no one has proposed marriage to me.
Apart from Yun'an, the son she gave birth to, the first wife had no other children and was on the verge of extinction.
She regrets it!
Today, the Duke's Mansion only looks splendid on the surface, while the interior is already rotten inside.
And all of this was caused by her. Even if she died, she would not be able to face the ancestors of the Lu family.
When she thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
