Chapter Ninety-Three: Humanity
Lu Dashou looked at the little brother guarding the door at a loss, and then looked at the little sister standing beside him, and glanced at the door curtain in the middle of his eyes worriedly: "Dad, what are you talking nonsense?" Beware of the mother who hears it......"
"When she heard, she heard. I'm not the master who wants to hurt her! Lu Changxiu stared at her eldest son, "Listen, the girl and brother have promised to find a way for our family to get out of the country in an upright way, and the girl has even thought of a way to get rid of your sister, which is very ingenious." Your brother, I have a plan, too. As long as we are honest and help the old lady and brother expose the conspiracy of Xiao Changfang, our family will be able to regain the trust of the owner, and the matter of leaving the country will not be a problem. Compared with Xiao Changfang's sneaky idea of changing the name and surname, the girl's method is safer and more secure, we don't have to abandon the ancestor's surname, and we don't have to take risks, which is even better! ”
Lu Dashou looked at his father's expression, and finally realized that he was not joking, and his face was difficult to see: "Dad, you want me to admit that I was once instructed by Xiao Changfang to poison my master." Do you know, as long as I don't say it, and I don't know, even if I am charged with stealing, it won't matter, at most I won't have an errand for the past two years. When the limelight passes, with the identity of you and your mother as both the big stewards, am I afraid that I won't be able to find a job? But if I admit to the charge of carrying drugs, even if it doesn't work out in the end, it will hardly end well. I brought the poison from the capital alone, saying that I was innocent, but I was deceived by Xiao Changfang, who would believe it? My life is over! You can get a good reputation for killing relatives in righteousness, so what am I? Even if the master beats me to death. I don't have anywhere to redress my grievances, have you ever thought about it for me?! ”
Lu Changxiu saw that his son was disobedient, and his face became ugly: "Are you questioning me?" Then when you were talking nonsense to your mother-in-law on the boat. Have you ever thought about it for your family?! ”
Lu Dashou's face turned red suddenly, and he also regretted what he said to his wife, but wasn't it a last resort at that time? He is also a man, although he used to be an official slave, but relying on the power of his master's family, he has always been full of shelf in front of his wife, and he was trampled on by his wife like that. How can you bear it? He didn't expect his wife to report him ruthlessly, how could his father blame him?
Just when the father and son were at a stalemate, Lu's mother broke the curtain and came out. looked at her husband and eldest son expressionlessly, and the anger in her eyes could not be hidden.
Lu Changxiu hurriedly got up and said, "Xiuju, you also heard it, I asked my son to report Xiao Changfang." I will never do anything to hurt the old lady and my brother and sister! ”
Mother Lu sneered: "If the eldest sister didn't say that she was willing to help us think of a naturalization." Can you do that? Then he asked, "I want to ask first, what do you want to do?" According to the eldest sister's method, it is not difficult for the daughter to get out of the country, but we can't do it. ”
Lu Changxiu smiled in a dreamy tone: "I have already thought about it just now. Coincidentally, a few days ago, I went to Jiading to give gifts on the order of the girl, and on the way back, I accidentally met a distant branch of the Lu family clan in Songjiang, and they kissed each other. Although he is a member of the Lu clan. He is still a good citizen, but now he is living in poverty. The old wife was sick, the son died a few years ago, and there was not even a person to follow the incense, and now he only does some chores for others to make a living, and he has no face to ask for help from the clan, so I gave him a few taels of silver. Now it is just right that I can bring him over, let him sign a deed of sale, and work as a messenger in the old mansion for a year and a half. At that time, I was a servant with him and a brother of the same clan, so I could have succeeded Xiaoman to him as a son. In the future, he will redeem himself, and Xiaoman will follow him as a son, and he will not even have a cheap status. He is not yet a Ding, and he is not on the list of slaves of the Zhao family, even if someone wants to check it, he can't find out. He has worked hard since he was a child, and if he wants to study and study in the future, it will not be a problem. I can also sponsor them to return to their hometown, so that Xiaoman can officially go to the Lu family tree, Xiaoman is a child from the family of a serious scholarly eunuch, and in the future, he will have a career, and we will have to rely on him as an official eunuch. When we are old, let him take us over to be raised, even if we can't get rid of the status of official slaves, we will be old ladies and old ladies and enjoy the same happiness. This is even better than what Xiao Changfang promised! ”
Mother Lu was so angry that her face turned blue again, and she spat him: "What you want is just wealth and glory, for this, you don't even recognize your son, why was I blind before?!" After saying that, he picked up his little son and daughter with a pale face and walked out: "Let's ignore him, let them go crazy!" She had to ask them clearly, what did the youngest son say, the brother was going to have a big birthday and report the little long house, and the daughter said that the girl promised to help her get out of the country, what did she mean?
Lu Changxiu didn't care, he believed that his current plan couldn't be more perfect, and there would be no damage to the master's family, and his wife would agree sooner or later, the key was to convince the eldest son. He had to get his eldest son to willingly agree, and at the same time pluck out the rest of the family, especially himself. Zhao Wei's meaning is very clear, as long as their family helps him convict Xiao Changfang, then he will help them get rid of their nationality. Even if the girl's method can't be done, the brother can also use the method of the small long room. Naturalization is now a safe place. The goal that he has been thinking about for decades is close at hand, and even if he sacrifices the future of a son, he can't care about it. The eldest son also made his own sins this time, in order to make up for the mistakes he made, let's sacrifice a little more for this family! When the youngest son gets ahead, he will not treat his brother badly.
Lu Changxiu looked at his eldest son again, his eyes flashing with fanatical light. has been a slave all his life, what he sees in his eyes and what he has lived in his hands is all monstrous wealth, but unfortunately none of them belong to him! And now, he finally has the hope of realizing his long-cherished wish!
Mother Lu pulled a pair of little children, walked into her youngest son's room, and pulled him to sit down: "Don't panic, my mother won't pass you on to others." My good son, why should I recognize someone else as a father? Hugh should pay attention to your father's nonsense! ”
The look of horror on Xiao Man's face decreased slightly, and he took a deep breath and nodded.
Lu's mother asked him again: "You tell me clearly, what did my brother tell you before you went home in the morning?" Xiao Man had to repeat the words again, and by the way, he also said his sister's words.
While they were talking, Bilian was standing in front of the window. Looking in the direction of the main house with some concern, he went to look at his own room opposite. She had noticed the small packet of powder that her eldest brother had hidden on the beams of the house. Still there, no one has touched.
After listening to her son's words, Lu's mother sighed. She looked at her daughter and called Bilian, "What are you looking at?" Come here. ”
Bilian reluctantly walked up to her mother: "Mother, what else do you have to worry about?" Let's just do what my brother and sister say, and they will save my eldest brother's life. Anyway, there's still an old lady here. The old lady will not wronged you, at most she will beat the eldest brother for a few boards. When the time comes, let's quietly make it lighter. It's good for the eldest brother to raise it for a month. She pouted: "Big brother should have been boarded a long time ago, he was too bold, what stupid things he did!" ”
Lu's mother closed her eyes: "It would be nice if it was just a board." You sue me, that packet of powder. Did you really find it out of your brother's stuff? It's really poisonous?! ”
Bi Lian looked at her with some grievance: "Of course it's the eldest brother's thing." Could it be that I will still plant his stolen goods? I don't know if it's poisonous, the girl said to figure it out, originally planned to quietly find a living creature to test the poison, for fear of alarming the old lady, the matter will be implicated in the father's mother, so I entrusted my brother, took out the things and went to find someone to inquire. If something is not poisonous, why does Dad say that it is poisonous? He also said that it was said by the eldest brother! ”
Mother Lu sighed again. With a sad face, he said, "Your big brother...... After all, it was me, the mother, who failed to teach him well, and he made such a big mistake. No matter how the old lady reprimands, I will not complain. It's just that the elder brother and sister didn't ask the old lady what they meant at all, so they took the initiative without permission. That's poison! They're still kids, so what if something goes wrong? The old lady is now left with only the two of them, both of them are the root of life, no matter which one of them happens, it will kill the old lady......"
Bi Lian and Xiao Man glanced at each other and lowered their heads. They are still children, they don't think in their hearts that Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu are wrong to hide from the old lady Zhang to do such a thing, the old lady is old, is it really a good thing to disturb her before the matter is clear, and ask her to worry? Even if you want to sue, you have to find out if the package of powder is poisonous, right? They believe that both little masters are smart enough to know what to do and what not to do.
Just as they were sitting speechless, there was a sudden shouting in the direction of the main house, followed by the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, mixed with the sound of porcelain breaking, which startled the three of them. Lu's mother recognized it immediately, and the scream was from her husband, and hurriedly rushed out: "What's wrong?!" ”
Bi Lian and Xiao Man also chased after them, and before they could run to the door of the main house, they saw a figure rushing out and colliding with Lu's mother, who was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground. Bilian was so frightened that she screamed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her mother, but Lu Mafang was hit hard, bent over and hugged her abdomen, her face was painful, cold sweat broke out, and Bilian couldn't help her.
Xiao Man hurriedly chased after him, hugged the man's waist from behind, and thought it was a villain from somewhere, but Bilian recognized the other party: "Big brother? Xiao Man was stunned, looked up, the whole person was stunned, and his arms couldn't help but let go a little, Lu Dashou took the opportunity to push him away vigorously and ran out.
Bilian helped her mother up while calling her brother repeatedly, Lu's mother covered her abdomen and said to her youngest son in pain: "Come into the house and see how your father is!" Xiao Man woke up like a dream, hurriedly ran into the house, looked at the situation inside, and couldn't help crying: "Dad! ”
It turned out that Lu Changxiu was pushed to the ground, his head was covered with blood, and there was also a small pool of blood on the ground under his head. There was a mess beside him, the wooden shelves that had been placed against the wall fell to the ground, and the things placed on it were shattered, one of the large ironwood boxes was particularly conspicuous, the chain was broken, and the corner of the wooden box was stained with blood, and the contents were exposed. Xiao Man recognized that it was the genealogy of the Lu family, and his father had always cherished it like a treasure, so he put it in the ironwood box and put it on the top of the main house Duobaoge, for fear that their sister and brother would be too young and ignorant to break things.
Could it be that the box fell down and hit my father?
Xiao Man stood there at a loss, almost crying, and didn't know what to do except call his father.
Lu's mother walked in with difficulty with her daughter, and when she saw this situation, her eyes were also black. However, she has been in the world for a long time, but she is not panicked, and hurriedly instructed her youngest son: "Go and ask for a doctor!" He also called his daughter: "Go and report to the old lady!" ”
Bilian sobbed, panicked, heard the words and hurriedly ran out with Xiao Man, and saw a bunch of people at the door in the courtyard, it was the old lady Zhang, Zhao Wei, Zhao Jing of the sect and the eighth old lady of the third room. Behind them, two powerful men held Lu Dashou and held him to the ground.
The hem of Lu Dashou's clothes was still stained with bright red blood. (To be continued......)
