Lu Wuji also saw Old Lady Lu, he couldn't understand the faltering Old Lady Lu, who looked weak, why the people in the Lu family's compound were afraid of him?

Old lady Lu kept watching Abbot Fazheng go away, and then returned to the Buddha hall. His face was heavy, and instead of sitting on the ball as usual, he paced back and forth on the ground.

The housekeeper was also nervous, staring at Old Lady Lu silently.

Finally, Old Lady Lu stopped and stood in front of the housekeeper: "What do you think?" ”

The abbot of Zhongmin Temple, Fazheng, came to visit and told Mrs. Lu an astonishing news: the Lu family is about to be wiped out, and there may be no one left in the house. He asked the old lady to plan very early and try to retain a trace of the Lu family's bloodline before the disaster came, so as to inherit the Lu family's incense.

The old lady asked the abbot of Fazheng how he knew the news, but Fazheng didn't say.

asked him again how he should retain a trace of the Lu family's bloodline, and Fa Zheng didn't say anything.

In the end, he only left a sentence of "the secret of heaven must not be revealed", and then left without looking back!

Listening to Mrs. Lu's inquiry, the housekeeper hesitated: "Could he be an alarmist?" ”

Old lady Lu shook his head: "Abbot Fazheng is a famous monk in Youzhou, he has no need or reason to come to me!" ”

After a pause, Old Lady Lu muttered, "I'd rather believe it than believe it!" ”

The butler suggested, "Master, why don't you think again?" ”

Old lady Lu couldn't make up her mind for a while, listened to the housekeeper's words, and nodded slightly: "This matter is not trivial to the Lu family, let me think about it again!" ”

……

At the time of the third watch, Wei couldn't sleep at all, she was worried about her son's future.

The son is so decent, how could he run to Miss Lu's room? And almost did something deviant, what the hell is going on?

Last night, Lu Ruobei asked Lu Wuya to go to him, and Lu Wuya ate too much wine and somehow ran to the next room. The next room was originally occupied by Lu Ruobei's wife, and she had nightmares these days, so she asked Lu Wufang to come over and sleep with her. When Lu Wuya entered the house, Lu Ruobei's wife happened to go to the toilet, and Lu Wuya took the opportunity to do something wrong to Lu Wuya. If it weren't for Lu Ruobei and his wife to rescue him in time, Lu Wuya would have made a big mistake.

Wei hated his son for not being angry and doing such an unbearable thing, but he couldn't let the matter go public. If Master Lu knows, Lu Wuya's life will be over.

Just as Wei was tossing and turning, two small knocks suddenly came from outside the house.

Wei Shi was shocked, trembling and came to the door, hesitating whether to open the door.

Wei knew very well in his heart who was knocking on the door.

After his son was arrested last night, Wei begged Lu Ruobei bitterly, begging him to keep the matter a secret.

Lu Ruobei was very generous, not only agreed to Wei's request, but also said that he took the initiative to persuade Lu Wufin and no longer pursue the matter.

Early this morning, Lu Ruobei met Wei in the courtyard and whispered: "Tonight's third watch, come to your house to talk in detail!" ”

Now there will be no second person knocking on the door except for Lu Ruobei.

After thinking about it, for the sake of his son's future, Wei finally opened the door.

Lu Ruobei flashed into the house ghostly, Wei closed the door, and before he could speak, he was taken into Lu Ruobei's arms.

"Second uncle, please, let go of the slave family!" Wei pleaded quietly.

"Do you really care about life and death?" Lu Ruobei whispered in Wei's ear.

Wei was shocked and stopped talking.

Lu Ruobei hugged Wei Shi to the kang, effortlessly pressed her under him, and ripped open her clothes.

Lu Ruobei's breathing gradually became short, Wei sighed in his heart, closed his eyes tightly, and was at the mercy of Lu Ruobei in a daze.

……

In the private room of a teahouse in Youzhou City, Lu Ruobei handed a silver ticket to the person opposite: "This is a thousand taels of silver, after the matter is completed, I will pay another thousand taels!" ”

The person on the opposite side was He Shi, the head of the Lin Mansion.

He Shi took the silver ticket, put it in his arms, and said to Lu Ruobei: "Don't worry, there will be no flaws left, you just need to prepare the rest of the silver!" ”

"No problem!" Lu Ruobei patted his chest.

Although it cost two thousand taels of silver, Lu Ruoliang was not distressed at all, he thought it was worth it.

At the third watch, a dark shadow fell into the courtyard of the Lu family from the wall, and came to the door of the house where the eldest prince was grounded, and somehow he quickly unlocked the door.

After a short time, the dark shadow came out of the house, gently locked the door, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

……

The eldest prince died, and he was hanged.

No one in the Lu family knows the virtue of the eldest prince, but no one believes that he will hang himself because he was grounded.

But the facts are there, and you can't believe it.

In the morning, when the servant opened the door, he saw Young Master Lu hanging straight on the beam.

The government has come to check it, and it is indeed a suicide by hanging.

Hearing the news, the wife of the head of the family fainted at that time.

Lu Ruoliang was hit even harder, and his face was extremely haggard, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

The most violent reaction was Lu Wuxian, who knelt beside Lu Wuwu's corpse and wailed.

Lu Wuxian informed his father of his eldest brother's evil deeds, originally to protect the reputation of the Lu family, and he never imagined that Lu Wuwu would hang himself anyway. Lu Wuxian, who has been studying the books of sages and sages, how can he afford the notoriety of forcing his brother to death?

Lu Wuwu's death enveloped the entire Lu family in a state of slaughter.

……

Hearing the news of Lu Wuwu's death, Lu Xiaoxian didn't say a word except shaking his head and sighing.

There was a strong smell of conspiracy in this, and he didn't need to go to the scene to guess the cause of Lu Wuwu's death. A gentleman like Lu Wuwu will never commit suicide.

This scene is so similar to Wu Yanji's death back then, he knows very well in his heart that this is just the beginning, and greater changes and twists and turns are still to come.

……

The old lady Lu in the Buddhist hall was speechless for a long time after listening to the bad news reported by the housekeeper.

After a long time, the old lady's low and firm voice came from the darkness: "What Abbot Fazheng said is right, it has been verified, for the sake of the Lu family, I can't be indecisive anymore!" ”

Lu Wuji was sleeping in a daze, but was woken up.

He opened his eyes and saw Xu standing by the kang.

"The master asked someone to call you, go to the inner house to discuss matters!" Xu said softly.

Lu Wuji rubbed his eyes and looked dissatisfied: "It's so late, what else are you discussing?" ”

"Maybe it's for the sake of the eldest young master, the master has been in a bad mood for the past two days, you go quickly, don't upset him!" Hui was worried.

Going to discuss matters so late has never been done in the Lu family, and a hint of foreboding suddenly arose in Xu's heart.

In the hall of the main house of the Lu family, the lights are bright.

Lu Wuji was the farthest away from the main house, so it was late, and the rest of the people had already sat down, seeing that they were all sleepy-eyed, obviously they were also called from a dream.

Lu Wuji was about to sit down, and suddenly discovered the clue: on weekdays, Lu Ruoliang sat in the middle of the seat, but at this moment, it was not Lu Ruoliang himself, but Mrs. Lu.

Lu Wuji rubbed his eyes, he was not mistaken, it was really Mrs. Lu.

What's going on today? Old lady Lu, who has never asked about the Lu family's big or small things, is sitting in the position of the head of the family at this moment.

Not only Lu Wuji, but also Lu Ruoliang, everyone here has such a question in their hearts.

Looking to the side, Lu Ruoliang sat in the seat where the eldest prince sat on weekdays, while Lu Xiaoxian, who participated in deliberations on weekdays and rarely spoke, did not appear today. Maybe it's because it's too late to notify him.

Old lady Lu glanced at Lu Wuji: "Sit down!" ”

Only then did Lu Wuji realize that he was a little out of shape, and he actually stood in place in a daze.

After Lu Wuji sat down, Old Lady Lu glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "It stands to reason that if Ruoliang is the head of the family, I shouldn't have come out, but now that the Lu family is in trouble, I have to come out!" ”

Lu Ruoliang was already haggard, and after listening to the old lady's words, he hurriedly echoed: "If Ruoliang's ability is limited, my father should have gone out of the mountain a long time ago!" ”

Old lady Lu looked at Lu Ruoliang: "Then I can't do anything when I speak?" ”

"Of course count, what you always say, who in the Lu family dares not to listen to it?" Lu Ruoliang felt that his father's question was very abrupt.

"That's good! Today I have one thing to announce! Old Lady Lu said in a deep voice.

Everyone held their breath and listened to Old Lady Lu's words.

Old lady Lu looked at Lu Wuji: "Nonsense! ”

"Nonsense!" Unexpectedly, Old Lady Lu actually called her name, Lu Wuji was flustered in his heart, and hurriedly stood up.

"From today onwards, you will be the head of the Lu family!"

After Old Lady Lu said this, there was silence in the hall.

How so?

How could it be him?

Old lady Lu, this is not a joke, right?

Everyone had a question in their minds.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Old Lady Lu asked majestically, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

None of them spoke.

Seeing this, Old Lady Lu frowned slightly: "Since this is the case, then this matter is decided!" ”

"Wait!" Finally someone spoke.

It was no one else who spoke, but Lu Wuji himself.

Lu Wuli didn't know what was wrong with Mrs. Lu, why he announced that he had become the head of the family for no reason.

Lu Wuji originally thought that he could not be trampled under the feet of others as the head of the house. But slowly he realized that the truth was not as simple as he imagined. A concubine becomes the head of the family, not only is his name unjustifiable, but also there will be more trouble. Therefore, he is not interested in being the head of the house at all, and even a little disgusted.

Lu Wunon's voice seemed to have been expected by Old Lady Lu for a long time, and he asked calmly, "Do you still have something to say?" ”

"I ......" Lu Wuji hesitated, and finally said with difficulty: "I don't want to be the head of the house!" ”

Old Lady Lu's eyes were deep: "Why? ”

"Because...... Because ......"

Lu Wuji didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say in front of so many people that he didn't look down on any family master or family master at all.

"Okay, you don't have to say it, it's settled!" Old Lady Lu said lightly.
