Chapter 446: Death
Mrs. Lu has been a decisive and strong woman all her life, she lost her husband in middle age, she single-handedly supported the entire Lu family, until the moment she fell, she was still concerned about whether the entire Lu family could survive this difficulty.
Her greatest hope is Lu Lingzhi, this is the grandson she brought up with her own hands, watching him fight for the Lu family, watching him earn the title and glory for the Lu family, Lu Lingzhi is already the biggest support in her life.
In the past year, the Lu family has experienced too many changes.
Lu Shuang'er was abolished and died tragically, Lu Lingzhi was deposed, the Lu family moved out of the noble and glorious Hou Mansion mansion, and became a humble businessman, even though the old man experienced a lot of ups and downs, he was still hit by these things, before Ye Hao's spiritual spring was protecting her body, but Lu Lingzhi was abolished by the emperor and broke the news of her hamstrings, she was hit, and then learned that the Lu family's business was a failure, and she completely lost the idea of survival.
For her old man, this is a fatal blow, without Ye Hao's spiritual spring, she can no longer support it, and it has reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.
"Grandma Chen, go and call the third child. Old Madam Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and was finally willing to see Lu Shiming.
Lu Shixun glanced at the old lady when he heard this, "Mother, what are you doing when you see the third child now, you take care of yourself." ”
Mrs. Lu closed her eyes and didn't speak, she wanted to take her last breath to explain her last words to the third child, she was already disappointed in the second child, the Lu family's business in Jinkou City failed, he didn't find out the reason himself, but told others that it was because he had harmed the entire Lu family, this kind of son who didn't dare to take responsibility, could he still be expected to protect the Lu family?
"Mother......" Lu Shiming happened to be at home today, and when he heard that the old lady was finally willing to see him, he immediately went straight to the upper room with Pei's family, and knelt in front of the old lady Lu as soon as he entered the door, "It's the son who is not filial." ”
Old Madam Lu opened her eyes and glanced at him, and then looked around, except for the Liu family, everyone in the Lu family was all there.
"Third child, I have run out of oil, I have a few words to tell you, and all of you are listening. Old Madam Lu held Lu Shiming's hand and said in a weak voice.
"Mother!"
"Grandmother!"
Everyone else knelt down, understanding what Old Madam Lu meant by saying this.
Lu Shiming couldn't cry, and the guilt in his heart couldn't be expressed.
"First, after my death, the Lu family will be handed over to the third daughter-in-law to be the master, and all major matters will be decided by the third child, second, since the business of Jinkou City can no longer be saved, then everything that can be exchanged for silver will be sold, and our Lu family does not owe anyone a son, ......and thirdly, Mrs. Lu gasped before she finished speaking.
Lu Shixun shouted unwillingly, "Mother, our Lu family's business can't just be gone. ”
The Wang family glared at Pei with hatred, why should this family be handed over to the third room?
"Third ......" Old Madam Lu exclaimed with all her strength, "It's the girl of the Lu family, that's my granddaughter, any of you...... Don't blame her anymore, if she wants to go, let her go......"
Lu Shiming cried so much that he lay on the ground, tears fell to the ground, "Mother, mother......"
"Fourth!" Old Madam Lu's chest bulged, her eyes looked ahead, and the last sentence seemed to have exhausted all her vitality, "Let Yanzhi live well!"
With that, her chest shuffled and her eyes slowly closed.
Lu Shiming cried bitterly, "Mother's ......"
The old lady of the Lu family was out of breath.
Everyone in the room was sad and weeping, no one could have imagined that the old lady would leave such words when she was dying, let alone that she would go so quickly.
……
……
The carriage entered the city gate, Ye Hao's mood was very nervous, and she didn't know what to say when she saw Mrs. Lu for a while, the old lady must have resented her in her heart, and her father...... Is he already in Kyoto? She hasn't figured out what she's going to say about her true identity when she meets her father.
"Are you nervous?" Murong Zhan's hand slowly slid over, ready to find an opportunity to hold her hand.
"It's ...... What's wrong?" The carriage had come to the gate of the Lu family at some point, Ye Hao looked at the plain white outside the door, and she froze in her position.
Hongling glanced at it, "Girl, it looks like someone...... Passed away?"
Ye Hao's heart felt a pang, she thought of the person who was most likely to die, "No, I haven't come to ask her for guilt yet, she won't just leave." ”
Lu Shiming walked out of the gate wearing a plain pickaxe, and when he saw the carriage parked outside the door, he was slightly stunned.
"Daddy. Ye Hao saw Lu Shiming appear, and finally had the courage to speak, but just now, her tears couldn't be stopped, Lu Shiming was wearing a filial piety suit, and the old lady died......
"Why are you back?" Lu Shiming looked at Ye Hao in the carriage in surprise, he thought she had gone to Dongqingguo.
Ye Hao got out of the carriage and looked at Lu Shiming's mourning clothes and cried even more, "Old lady, she ...... She ......"
Lu Shiming's eyes were a little red, "The old lady left yesterday." ”
"Dad, is it because of my business?" Ye Hao felt uncomfortable and guilty, thinking that it was because her life experience stimulated the old lady.
"It's none of your business, you ......" Lu Shiming also wanted to ask her how she came back, but before he finished asking, he saw Murong Zhan getting down from the carriage, he was so frightened that he forgot to say anything, just looked directly at the emperor who came to his daughter's side, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, you are also here. ”
Murong Zhan reached out to hold Ye Hao's little hand and gently squeezed it in her palm, "Die young, mourn and change." ”
Lu Shiming still had a lot of things to ask his daughter, but now he couldn't ask anything, he turned around and instructed the subordinates in the family, "Go and get filial piety clothes for the third girl." ”
After a while, Lu Shixun walked out with his subordinates, he had never seen Murong Zhan before, so he didn't recognize the man standing next to Ye Hao as the emperor at all, he frowned and said to Lu Shiming, "Third child, it's your own business that you feel sorry for your adopted daughter, but now that the Lu family including the clansmen are all present, you let her wear linen and filial piety to go in to salute her mother, is it appropriate?"
"Why is it not appropriate?" Lu Shiming asked coldly, he knew that the second brother was angry in his heart, and felt that the old lady was favoring him when she was dying, but he couldn't stop his daughter from wearing filial piety for the old lady at this time, otherwise she would feel guilty in her life.
"The old lady was angry with her, does she still have the face to worship, isn't she afraid that her mother will die?" Lu Shixun asked angrily.
Lu Shiming said angrily, "Second brother, didn't you hear what my mother said before she died? ”
