Chapter 180: The Fire of Suspicion
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, even Mrs. Wu stopped crying, and looked at Steward Xu in a daze, only Lu Zhi was still silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Steward Xu looked at Lu Zhi and said abruptly: "The old slave thought that only the old man knew about this matter, but now that he looks like the fourth lady, he must have known it a long time ago, right?" ā
Lu Zhi nodded, her heart was a little sad, Lu Shaofu's matter, she knew that there would be a day when it broke out, and it was really today, except for a trace of sadness and annoyance, she didn't feel much.
After all, she has been mentally preparing for this for nearly three years, and for her, it is just that this day has finally arrived.
What made her heart ache was another reason.
Duan Chen's dowry to her was all used by her father to support the women in the courtyard, no matter how big a woman's appetite is, as long as she does not directly feed on gold and silver, those dowries are enough to manage for a few years, not to mention, her father has never reached out to her mother to ask for it, which proves that the money and silver are enough to spend.
If there are enough flowers, why did the woman suddenly appear to stop the sedan chair and sue her father?
Even though she hated her father, but now her father is the source of her expenses, and when she found her father, she never thought about stopping the sedan chair and suing her for so many years, how could she suddenly sue her father after a good life?
If it weren't for someone behind her, Lu Zhi wouldn't believe anything.
Inevitably, she couldn't help but think of the person who knew about it, that is, Duan Chen, who told her about it in the first place.
If it was before, she would definitely not believe that Duan Chen did this, and she would not even have the slightest suspicion, but after something like that happened in the villa, she began to take the initiative to think of him.
To be exact, it's not him, it's Song Cheng.
She moved the silver out of the money bank and saved it in the southern bank, which must not be hidden from them, coupled with the increasingly fierce rumors in the outside world now, the change in the mentality of the world, such a thing broke out at such a time, she couldn't help but think so.
It's just that she still doesn't want to believe that the man who gracefully allowed her to have a couple for the rest of her life, the man who promised her that she would give her freedom even if she was dissolved, had become an unscrupulous person.
The matter of the villa, she can also say, it is just a fight between them, and he just connived at Song Cheng to use himself.
However, if this matter is really Song Cheng's doing, she can no longer find any reason and excuse to excuse him, this is not just a use, or connivance, but deliberately, completely ignoring her in the slightest, only for herself.
He should understand that although she is not smart enough, she will never be stupid enough to think that Song Cheng's actions have nothing to do with him.
Lu Zhi was immersed in her own thoughts, not paying attention to the chaos in front of her, and it was not until Mrs. Wu cried bitterly and pulled her sleeve, and asked Lu Zhi to tell her in a panic that everything Steward Xu said was false, and Lu Zhi came back to her senses.
Looking at the pain on Mrs. Wu's face, Lu Zhi opened her mouth and said: "Now that it is pointless to pursue the past, it is still necessary to find a way to rescue my father for the sake of the present, after all, there is both glory and loss." ā
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she let go of her hand in despair, and at this time, she couldn't help but accept the facts.
It turned out that she gave up everything, abandoned everything, and even cut off contact with her father and brother, and married her lover wholeheartedly, but she was so dirty, dirty and unbearable.
Not even worthy of being a human being.
Lu Zhi looked at Mrs. Wu's appearance and felt a little distressed, but some things always have to be learned to face by yourself, and some truths can always be seen by yourself.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen nodded hurriedly, and said in a panic: "The top priority is to rescue the master, he ...... If he had been cured of such a crime, we would all be ruined! ā
Ma Shi was also anxious, and stepped forward to take Lu Zhi's hand: "Zhi'er, my aunt begs you on behalf of your second brother, please think of a way to save your father, but you must not let him admit these charges!" ā
Lu Zhi slowly pulled out the hand held by Ma: "My father is a second-class member of the court, and he will definitely be cautious when the court tries the case, how can you and I interfere?" ā
Ma Shi was immediately annoyed when he heard this: "You can go and beg the prince, if not, you can still beg others, do you really want to watch your father and brother ruined like this?" Don't think that His Royal Highness has a deep friendship with you, if your father is really punished, don't say that it is the crown princess, even a concubine by the prince's side, you are not qualified enough! ā
As soon as she said this, Chen on the side immediately shouted: "Are you crazy? Biting like this here?! If there is no Zhi'er, Heng'er and Zhe'er don't know what the situation is! Doesn't Zhi'er know how powerful it is, it's your turn to bark here?! ā
Ma was scolded by Chen for being worthless, but she didn't dare to speak disrespectfully, it was just an impulse before, she naturally knew that now she could save Young Master Lu, and only Lu Zhi could save everyone in the Lu family.
Lu Zhi looked at Ma Shi, who had quieted down, and then said lightly: "I discussed this matter with my two brothers two years ago. My brothers are in the same position as me, everyone is responsible for what he does, but he is our father after all, and we will do our best. If the two aunts have nothing to do, please go back. ā
Ma and Chen didn't expect that Lu Zhi, Lu Heng and Lu Zhe had known about this two years ago, and now it seems that only they were kept in the dark.
Lu Zhi gave the order to evict the guest, and the two of them were somewhat cold, so they turned around and left without saying more.
Lu Zhi left Steward Xu and said to him: "Steward Xu, I have a letter, bothering you to send it to the Zhenjiang Palace, to Song Cheng and Song Gongzi." ā
Steward Xu nodded in response, and Lu Zhi wrote a letter and handed it to him.
watched him leave, and then turned around to comfort the depressed Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu didn't care about Young Master Lu's life or death now, if it weren't for Lu Zhi, she wouldn't want Young Master Lu to pay for his life.
She only has hatred for Lu Shaofu now, hates him for deceiving her feelings, hates him for causing her to lose her father and brother's affection, and hates him for causing Lu Zhi in the end.
Lu Zhi looked at the resentful gaze of the weak Mrs. Wu, sighed and said, "Mother, you are just angry now, and according to your temperament, you should worry about your father in a short time." ā
Mrs. Wu bit her lip and shook her head: "This time my mother will definitely not ......"
"Mother, don't talk too much." Lu Zhi interrupted her words and smiled faintly at her: "No matter how your mother chooses, Zhi'er will support you, but now is not the time to say these words." ā
Mrs. Wu was silent for a moment, and then nodded.
After sending Mrs. Wu away, Lu Zhi called Xie Qing and asked him to inquire about the affairs of the palace, but Xie Qing said: "As early as when the news came, I had already gone to the palace to inquire. The timing of your father's case is very strange, Emperor Zhengde wants to try the case personally, and in addition, in order to avoid suspicion, Emperor Zhengde deliberately grounded the prince. ā
