Chapter 348 Then Don’t Be a Member of the Lu Family
Lu Guanxuan was so exhausted that he almost fainted.
His head was buzzing and his whole body went limp.
Before, when he took the medicine, he only felt energetic and full of spirit. But now, his foundation was destroyed, and he felt the weakness and powerlessness after being hollowed out.
What really broke him was the despair in his heart.
From now on, he will no longer be able to have humanity, and he will never be able to have other children in his life.
His dream of having a son was shattered.
This happened in Aunt Meng's yard and she was terrified.
Lu Guanxuan originally wanted to silence her, but then he thought, what if she was already pregnant with his child? Wouldn't it be too late to regret if he killed her? So he ordered her to be confined to her house.
The doctors who were invited to see the patients also received hush money.
Lu Guanxuan used his identity as Prince Jin's father-in-law to threaten them, and they didn't dare to say a word.
At the Lu Mansion, Lu Guanxuan also sent people to block the news.
He would never allow his wife and daughter to know about this, otherwise he would lose face.
However, his cover-up was of no use, as Fang and Lu Zhiran had already known about it.
Fang was the mastermind behind this incident, so she naturally sent people to keep an eye on it.
She knew about the incident the moment it happened.
When the matter was settled, Fang laughed out loud three times with joy.
"From now on, this Lu Mansion belongs to Jun'er."
No one can compete with her son anymore.
Fang thought that he had done everything perfectly, but he didn't know that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind it. Lu Zhiran had already seen through everything.
She did not step forward to stop it, but let things develop.
If Lu Guanxuan had any brains, he wouldn't take the bait.
If he is really foolish enough to be fooled, it is his own fault.
Lu Zhiran has no feelings for this father.
In his previous life, he was also an accomplice in his mother's death.
Now, the two of them are fighting each other to the point of being a black-eyed chicken, and Lu Zhiran is happy to watch the fire from the other side of the river.
There are even more exciting scenes coming up, but I wonder if her father can bear it.
The turmoil in the Lu family happened silently, and outsiders knew nothing about it. Only Lu Guanxuan suffered tremendous physical and mental trauma, but he had no one to talk to, and he was visibly gloomy and irritable.
Only the identity of the future father-in-law of Prince Jin can cheer him up again.
It was also this blow that made Lu Guanxuan pay more attention to his son Lu Juncheng.
Seeing that Lu Zhiran was about to get married, Fang suggested bringing Lu Juncheng back from the academy, as he, the brother-in-law of Prince Jin, had to show up.
Lu Guanxuan agreed.
He wanted to see his son and test his knowledge to see how confident he was about his performance in the imperial examination next year.
Lu Juncheng came back soon.
The next day, he went to Lu Zhiran's yard.
He hasn't been home for a long time, so he should come and pay his respects to his sister.
He heard that Lu Zhiran had been staying indoors all the time, and thought that he would most likely be turned away, but unexpectedly, Nanny Gao invited him in.
When Lu Juncheng met Lu Zhiran, he bowed to her respectfully.
"Meet big sister."
Lu Zhiran looked at the young man in front of her. He had grown taller, but his figure was a little thin and gaunt, with a hint of dark blue in the depths of his eyes, and he was shrouded in a heavy air of desolation.
"I've lost a lot of weight. Studying is important, but health is more important."
This sentence caused some ripples to appear in Lu Juncheng's eyes, and his heart was also rippled uncontrollably.
He returned home yesterday and his father called him over first to test his knowledge. His tone was harsh and extremely critical, which made him feel suffocated.
After finally getting away from my father, I was called away by my mother again.
Then, the same thing happened again.
They only cared about whether he could pass the imperial examination and didn't care about his own health or mood at all.
On the contrary, it was her elder sister Lu Zhiran who noticed her weight loss at a glance and even expressed her concern.
"Thank you for your concern, big sister. I will take care of my health."
Lu Zhiran invited him to have dinner with her. "My maid is a good cook. You can try it."
Lu Juncheng saw that she was sincere and did not refuse.
He ate the meal very relaxedly, and only when he put down his chopsticks did he realize that he was a little full.
He couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Lu Zhiran smiled and said, "You are growing, so you should eat more."
Lu Juncheng was a man of few words, and as Lu Zhiran chatted with him in random conversations, Lu Juncheng gradually relaxed.
Lu Zhiran asked casually, "Are you sure about the outcome next year?"
Both Lu Guanxuan and Fang had asked him this question, and every time he heard it, his body would subconsciously tense up.
But when Lu Zhiran asked this question, Lu Juncheng lost his previous tension and showed a bitter smile on his face.
"Big sister, my talent and knowledge are average, and I am not sure in my heart."
After hearing this, Lu Zhiran did not blame him.
"The imperial examination is not easy, and not everyone is good at it. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate."
In his previous life, he passed the examination for a scholar, but failed in the provincial examination and was unable to obtain the title of a juren.
His ranking as a scholar was not high to begin with, so it was reasonable that he failed the provincial examination.
It can be seen that he is not cut out for this.
In this life, it is impossible for his talent to improve rapidly overnight, and the results of his imperial examinations are probably the same as in his previous life.
When Lu Juncheng heard her words, he felt touched and then smiled bitterly.
"It would be great if my parents thought like my elder sister. In their eyes, if I can't pass the imperial examination, I will be a sinner of the Lu family."
Lu Zhiran said casually, "If that's the case, I won't be a member of the Lu family."
Lu Juncheng was slightly stunned, and then his bitter smile became even more pronounced.
"Sister, please stop joking. I was born the eldest son of the Lu family and have enjoyed the Lu family's upbringing and preferential treatment since I was young. How can I have the right to say no? If you really do this, it would be extremely unfilial."
Lu Zhiran said in an inexplicable tone, "People really can't choose their own birth. If you could choose, what kind of life would you choose?"
Lu Juncheng didn't say anything for a moment.
Lu Zhiran smiled easily, "We are just gossiping in private. You can say whatever you want, and I will listen."
After hearing this, Lu Juncheng spoke.
"Actually, I like children very much. Compared to becoming an official, I prefer to be a teacher to enlighten children."
He was a man of mediocre talent. When he was young, his teachers were mostly strict. Whenever he saw them, his back would stiffen and he would find it even harder to be interested in his studies.
If he were to educate his children, he would definitely not be so strict, either beating or scolding them.
If we adopt a gentler approach, students may not be unable to make progress.
After saying that, his face turned red.
"I said that."
His own knowledge is a mess, and he has no achievements at all. How can he be qualified to be a teacher? He is just misleading students.
What's more, even if he wanted to, his father and mother would definitely not agree.
They look down on the job of a teacher, thinking that they are self-indulgent and have no ambition to improve themselves.
Lu Zhiran said seriously, "That's a good idea. You have a gentle and kind nature, and you are indeed suitable for educating children."
Lu Juncheng didn't expect that she would actually agree with and encourage him. He couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement and surge in his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"But you can't just be a commoner. You must at least have the title of a scholar. Opportunities only come to those who are prepared."
