150 Cause and Effect Cycle, Old Lady's Retribution!
After finishing the meal, Lu Nianjin leaned on Xiao Xun's arms and told him about Lu Bolilai, "...... If only he had known that this would be the end, it would have been good that he hadn't come that day. β
Xiao Xun pursed his lips and hugged her tighter, kissed her lightly on her heart, and said in a deep voice, "Maybe he knows that this is the end, and he is willing to die, so that he can save you and go to see your biological mother." β
Hearing him say this, Lu Nianjin raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a while, he smiled sneeringly, "Maybe, he likes my mother so much, if he dies and can see her, he should be very happy." β
"So, don't think about it so much." Xiao Xun looked at her eyes heavily, "It's just for Xiao'er." β
"Got it," Lu Nianjin wrapped his arms around his waist and rested his head on his chest.
The two snuggled up like this, until Lu Nianjin fell asleep again.
Xiao Xun carried her to the bed, and helped her tuck the corners of the quilt to make sure that she would not wake up suddenly, and then walked out.
In the study, he sat down and looked at the ministers with a gloomy face, "Can you find out who those assassins are?" β
Laichen was solemn and arched his hand, "It's the black armor guard of the Mu family, and according to legend, one black armor guard can defeat a hundred tiger guards." β
"Is it Lu Shaowei?"
"Yes!" Lai Chen's head, "It was handed over to Lu Shaowei after the old man of the Mu family learned the truth about the killing of the Mu family." Lu Shaowei is also his only successor.
Xiao Xun heard that it was Lu Shaowei, a dark light flashed under his eyes, and he covered his lips and coughed violently.
"Prince, are you okay?" Laichen was frightened and stepped forward to ask with concern.
Xiao Xun tightened his shirt and waved his hand, "It's okay," paused, and then said, "Has the evidence been collected?" β
"Back to the prince's words, I have already collected them."
"Enter the palace and present it to my father."
"Yes, Prince," said the minister, bowing his head, and then asked, "Is it now?" β
Xiao Xun snorted, "Yes, now." β
"Yes!" Laichen was ordered to leave, and after he left Xiaotangshan, he went straight to the palace.
In the Qianyuan Palace, the emperor took Concubine Chen and read the evidence presented by the ministers, and his face instantly darkened. After a long time, he let go of Concubine Chen and looked at the minister, "You go down first, I will deal with this matter." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Laichen agreed and retreated.
Only the emperor and Concubine Chen were left in the hall, and Concubine Chen sensed the emperor's displeasure, she raised her hand and gently stroked his chest, raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, you are not happy." β
"......" The emperor glanced down at Concubine Chen, and after a while, he removed her hand and said, "You should retreat first." β
"Yes, Your Majesty," Concubine Chen shrank slightly, then crawled towards the bed, blessed, and retreated.
Half an hour later, the emperor called Gonggong Fu in, he threw the evidence in his hand to Gonggong Fu, and said, "Go to Yilan Palace to spread my will, the three princesses are about to give birth, and the prince's mansion is unattended. β
Listening to the emperor's instructions, Gonggong Fu did not agree immediately, but flipped through a few pages of the evidence in his hand, and after reading it, he made a thousand calls and retreated out silently.
In Yilan Palace, Lu Guifei received something from Gonggong Fu, and suddenly the whole person collapsed, she sat on the ground, looking at Gonggong Fu with more grief than death, "I...... Can you see the emperor again and say goodbye to the emperor? β
Gonggong Fu saluted and sighed lowly, "Niangniang is smart, you should understand, you have committed such a big sin, the emperor is willing to surround your life and send you to the Three Princes' Mansion, and you will not see each other for the rest of your life, which is already extraordinarily tolerant." β
"Really?" Lu Guifei burst into tears and asked in a sad voice.
Grandpa Fu nodded, then turned around and walked outside.
"Mother, when are we leaving?" After a long time, Qingrao walked in from outside, knelt in front of Lu Guifei and asked.
Lu Guifei raised her head and glanced at her coldly, "Who let you in?" β
Qingrao shrank her whole body, lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, it's Gonggong Fu, the emperor has a decree, before the sun goes down, Yilan Palace will be sealed." β
ββ¦β¦ The palace knows, you go and clean it up," Lu Guifei stood up tremblingly and commanded sadly.
Qingrao's gang retreated, ready to salute.
Before dark, Lu Guifei rushed to the Three Princes' Mansion with a group of palace maids.
She waited outside the Third Prince's Mansion for a long time, but no one came to greet her.
"What the hell is going on, the third prince? What about the three princesses? In the carriage, Lu Guifei asked angrily.
Qingrao, who had just climbed up from outside the carriage, said in a low voice, "If you go back to Niangniang, the third prince is resting in the bedroom, and the third princess has been swollen recently, and it is inconvenient to come out to greet her." β
"Is this going to be the palace to go in by itself?" Lu Guifei's face was gloomy, and she could drip water.
Qingrao didn't dare to speak.
The more Lu Guifei looked at her, the more unpleasant she became, and glanced at her with pity, "Why don't you help the palace go down?" β
"Yes, Niangniang," Qingrao hurriedly stretched out her hand and walked under the carriage with her master in her arms.
The group entered the Three Princes' Mansion in a mighty manner, and it was not until they entered the inner house that they met the Three Princes Xiao De and the Three Princes Concubine Luo who came in a hurry. The two saluted Lu Guifei at the same time, "The son-in-law (daughter-in-law) has seen the concubine, please say hello to the concubine." β
Lu Guifei glanced at the two of them coldly, "You two are really getting more and more noble, this palace can't afford your courtesy." β
"Mother, why are you so angry today?" Xiao De is the only son of Lu Guifei who has grown up, but he is not afraid of her, he directly stepped forward and lied to him, and said, "I didn't go to the door to ask the mother, it is indeed my fault with Luo, but the mother also knows that after the son-in-law came back from Huming Town, his health has not been good, and Luo came in and was pregnant, and it was inconvenient to run around, so the mother concubine forgave the two sons, okay?" β
After that, he didn't wait for Lu Guifei to respond, and walked forward with her, while walking, he said, "The will of the mother concubine to leave the palace came too quickly, and the sons and Luo didn't have time to clean it up, what Luo meant was that in the future, the mother concubine would live in the main courtyard where she lived, and she moved to Qingyao Garden, where the side concubine lived, what did the mother think?" β
Lu Guifei glanced at her son sideways, "Since it is your filial piety, how can the mother concubine not be justified?" β
Xiao De won the praise of his mother, and curled his lips and laughed.
Luo behind him unconsciously clenched his hand under the wide sleeve. Let go of the main courtyard, she is just polite, who knew that her mother-in-law was so polite! It's just ...... I don't know what to say!
Finally arrived at the main courtyard of the back house, Lu Guifei went in and looked at it, and frowned, "De'er, didn't you say that you should let the mother concubine live here in the future?" But here, how can it be someone else's thing? β
Xiao De listened to Lu Guifei's rhetorical question, his face was embarrassed, but fortunately, the Luo clan behind him helped her out of the siege in time, and said, "If you go back to the concubine, you notified you too much, and the subordinates only had time to move the large things to Qingyao Garden first, and they probably didn't have time to move the small ones, so the daughter-in-law called them in." As she spoke, she glanced at the grandmother beside her, who understood and immediately walked out.
Lu Guifei didn't stop her, she sat on the velvet blanket, talking to Xiao De while watching those slaves and maids move things, until the whole courtyard was replaced with the things she brought, she yawned and said, "I'm a little sleepy, this palace wants to rest, let's stop here today." β
"Then the minister will retreat first," Xiao De got up and saluted, and Luo followed suit.
Lu Guifei nodded, "Go ahead." β
Xiao De hurriedly helped Luo to walk out.
As soon as the two of them left the main courtyard, Luo Shi let go of Xiao De's hand, and with a little tiredness, he said, "The concubine is tired, go back to Qingyao Garden first, and the husband will rest early." β
Xiao De was a little reluctant to Luo, and he felt even more wronged by her, so he couldn't help but take a step forward and approached her and said, "This palace will send you back to Qingyao Garden, we haven't spoken well for a long time." β
Luo couldn't bear the smell of Xiao De's body, but for the sake of her children, she didn't dare to show it, so she could only nod stubbornly, and was led by him towards Qingyao Garden.
Xiao Tangshan, when Xiao Xun learned about Lu Guifei's fate, he just laughed coldly and looked at Qingyi, "Tonight, you personally take people to Black Moon Mountain to eradicate all the black armor guards of the Mu family." β
"Yes, Prince." Qingyi received the order and was about to leave, but Xiao Xun stopped him, he took out a black medicine bottle from under the desk, handed it to him, and said, "Take this medicine, maybe you can use it!" β
"Hmm," Qingyi stepped forward, took the medicine bottle, and withdrew.
In the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of Lu Boli's first day.
Xiao Xun took Lu Nianjin, who had recovered some of his spirits, down the mountain and went to the Chengguo Mansion.
In the mourning hall of the Chengguo Mansion, only the Chengguo Duke and his eldest son and grandson were welcoming the guests, but the old lady and the Xiao family were not there, and they looked a little deserted.
"Grandfather!" Lu Nianjin stepped forward and saluted Chengguo.
Chengguo Gong secretly glanced at Xiao Xun, where did he dare to accept Lu Nianjin's courtesy, and hurriedly returned the salute sideways, and said, "The crown princess has tormented the old minister." β
Lu Nianjin pursed her lips, didn't say anything more, nodded to her uncle and brother, and she walked straight towards Lu Boli's coffin, she stood beside the coffin for a long time before she withdrew her gaze, walked to the spiritual platform, and solemnly put three incense sticks on the coffin and said:
"βFather, may you be reunited with my mother in another world."
"βMay you ascend to bliss soon."
"βI'll be fine."
After paying homage to Lu Boli, Lu Nianjin didn't stay long, and left with Xiao Xun.
When the two went out, Chengguo Gong suddenly stopped her and asked, "Crown Princess, why didn't Nianyun come back, isn't she with you?" β
"No," Lu Nianjin turned around and said indifferently, "She didn't come with me." β
"And where is she?" Cheng Guogong looked puzzled.
Lu Nianjin still has those three words, "I don't know." β
"Alright then!" Chengguo said that in front of Xiao Xun, he had no way to force Lu Nianjin to ask.
"Let's go!" Xiao Xun glanced at Cheng Guogong threateningly, and walked out with Lu Nianjin.
The two of them left the Guogong Mansion and went straight to the National Teacher's Mansion.
Chengguo Mansion, the eldest lord Lu Borong approached Chengguo Gong and said in a deep voice, "Dad, the second brother is gone, Nian Yun, do we really care?" β
Chengguo Gong stroked his forehead, "The crown princess has already said that she has never seen anyone, what else can you do?" β
Lu Nianchen listened to what his grandfather and father said about it, and hurriedly said, "Grandmother, father, please listen to Nianchen." β
"Huh?" Chengguo raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest grandson.
Lu Nianchen said with a solemn face, "The second uncle has always been gentle and kind, if he has a spirit in the sky, he must only be thinking about whether his sister Nianyun is good, but it doesn't matter if he comes back or not, after all, it's better to be outside than to hand it over to the sixth son of Yongning Bofu, right?" β
Chengguo Gong and Lu Borong heard Lu Nianchen say this, the two looked at each other, and suddenly realized, "You mean, the crown princess did it on purpose, she was afraid that our family would mess with Nianyun's family affairs again, so she didn't let her come back?" β
Lu Nianchen nodded, "The crown princess is very kind when she is careful, she must think so." β
"Then I'll rest assured," Lu Borong breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while, he looked at Chengguo Gong again, frowned, and said, "Dad, you and your mother have been annoyed for several days, can your son ask, what are you doing this time?" β
Hearing Lu Borong mention the old lady, Cheng Guogong's face suddenly became gloomy, he glanced at his eldest son coldly, and sneered, "You'll know later." β
Lu Borong choked, "Why do you have to wait later?" β
Coincidentally, as soon as he asked this sentence, the holy decree in the palace came.
When Cheng Guogong heard the key passage, his face turned pale in an instant, he curled his lips coldly and glanced at Lu Borong again, "The answer you want is here, let's go!" As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out.
Because it was a holy decree, the old lady and Lu Jiayi, who were originally grounded, were also invited out.
The group knelt on the floor of the front hall, waiting for the Fu Gong to announce the decree.
Gonggong Fu first glanced at everyone on the ground, and then unfolded the holy decree and said, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, said: The Yan family of the old lady of the Chengguo Mansion Yan family occupies the mountain as the mine in front, and the Yan family poisoned the Xinyang Hou Mansion family of seventy-six people, extinguishing the conscience and losing the family. β
"The Lord's Order is grateful." Cheng Guogong had already been mentally prepared, so his reaction was the fastest, and he went straight to thank him and kowtowed a few times.
The other people around him were confused, especially the old lady, she saw her face white, her expression was tight, she didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly, so suddenly, the two things she was most proud of had ever been exposed to the sun.
"Uncle, since you have received the will and have no objections, the old slave will go back first, and the emperor is still waiting for the old slave to serve."
"Father-in-law, go slowly!" Chengguo Gong stood up and walked out with Fu Gonggong.
When he walked to the hall, Gonggong Fu stopped, looked at Chengguo Gong with a smile, and said, "Uncle, it's good to send it here, you better go back to undertake the emperor's will first." β
"Yes." Cheng Guogong nodded, watched Gonggong Fu leave, and then turned back to the hall.
"Father, is this all true?" Lu Borong looked at Chengguo Gong with a painful expression. Originally, he thought that the death of his second brother was already a great blow, but he never thought that there would be such a series of blows behind. Her mother turned out to be the murderer, and it was her own aunt and cousin's family who were killed. If someone else did this, he would definitely scold him for being mad, but it was his mother who did it, and he really didn't know what to say, but he looked at his father with a little bit of luck and sadness, hoping that his father would refute him.
But Duke Chengguo ignored him, he looked straight at the old lady, took out a letter of resignation from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "Yan's, today I will divorce you, a poisonous woman, in the future, we will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, you and I have thought about the uncle's house, and it will never have anything to do with it again!" You, get out of here! β
After a while, the old lady finally calmed down, she looked coldly at the pillow person she snatched with her poisonous hand, and said, "You already know these things?" β
"So what?"
The old lady looked up to the sky and laughed, desolate to the extreme, and after a long time, she stopped and said sarcastically, "No, I just never thought that I would use all my calculations to marry such a brute in the end." β
Chengguo Gong arched his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, "Each other!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he commanded the butler behind him, "Drag this wicked woman out!" β
"Who dare!" The old lady got up and shouted, she looked at Chengguo Gong, and said-for-tat, "You have thought about the Bofu, I don't want to stay for a long time, I don't need you to rush, I will leave, but before leaving, you have to return my dowry and my private property for so many years." β
"Your dowry, your private property?" Chengguo Gong laughed angrily at her words, pointed to her nose and said, "Liang Wanqing, have you forgotten what kind of virtue you were when you came to the capital at the beginning of the year, a dirty sound, two burlap clothes, hair tied into two whips, and you can't even afford a plain silver hairpin, so you have a fart dowry and private property!" Those things in your mouth were all snatched from your cousin Wei Ruyi who was killed by you! β
In the last sentence, Cheng Guogong roared, and his face was red and his neck was thick.
"Dad-" Lu Borong saw that his father was so angry, and wanted to open his mouth to persuade and ease the atmosphere, but who knew that his sentence was wrong, but Chengguo Gong pointed the finger at him again, "And you, for so many years, Jin Zun and Jade have been supported by others, who do you think you eat and wear, I might as well tell you today, those are not the family business of the Chengguo Mansion, not the family business of your grandfather's family, those are all from the Wei family, and they are the Wei Ruyi who was poisoned by your mother in his good years and green years." β
"It is said that it is better to be born than to be nurtured, Lu Borong, do you still have the face to intercede for that woman?"
When Lu Borong heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched violently, and he turned his head to look at the old lady, "Is what my father said true?" β
The old lady was silent.
Lu Borong bit his lip tightly, and the next moment, he suddenly yelled, "I asked you, is what my father said true?!" β
The old lady simply didn't look away, but still didn't say anything.
She has always believed that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, no matter how many harmful things she has done, she can face others calmly, but only in the face of her children, she can't be calm, she still has some invincible self-esteem in her heart after all.
"You don't have to say it, I understand," Lu Borong lowered his head, and the man's tears rolled down his cheeks.
In the hall, there was silence for a long time, and finally Lu Borong raised his head and broke the silence, he arched his hand and said justice to Chengguo, "The son asks his father to divorce his wife by order, and in addition, welcome Miss Wei of the Marquis Mansion of Xinyang as his wife, and the son is willing to worship Miss Wei as his biological mother, and from now on incense will be offered every day." β
"Rong'er, you-" The old lady listened to Lu Borong's words, her whole face was gray, she pointed at him, her fingers trembled, "I have raised you for so many years, and you are so wolf-hearted." β
"But you deserve it, don't you?" Lu Borong said bitterly.
When the words fell, he stood up and looked at the butler, "Get this old woman out!" β
"Yes, sir!" The housekeeper answered, called someone in, and dragged the old lady out.
Lu Jiayi on the side was stunned from the beginning to the present, until the old lady was dragged out of the hall, she seemed to react, threw herself at the old lady, and shouted loudly, "Mother, I won't let you go, big brother doesn't recognize you, I recognize you, I don't want you to go, I don't want you to go," she said, she hugged the old lady's waist tightly.
The old lady saw that there were still people who were worried about her, and stood on her side, and her face showed a touch of relief.
"Get my aunt and grandmother out together!" Lu Boli said in a cold voice, and ordered again with his hands behind his back, not taking Lu Jiayi's petty fights in his eyes at all.
The housekeeper received the order, and with a look, the guards were about to drag people when they started.
At this time, Lu Jiayi was afraid, she looked at Lu Borong in disbelief, "Big brother, I am your own sister, and you want to expel me?" β
Lu Boli pulled his lips coldly, "There is no distinction between right and wrong, and it is useless to keep it." β
Lu Jiayi insisted with a crying voice, "But my mother gave birth to us in the end, how can you be so ruthless!" β
Such a stubborn person, Lu Boli was too lazy to talk to her anymore, "Butler, drive people away!" β
"Yes, sir," the butler agreed, and Lu Jiayi and the old lady were dragged out like this.
A few guards used to fall into the well, and when they threw people out of the house, they also picked off the jewelry on the two of them.
In the hall, it finally calmed down.
Chengguo Gong looked at Lu Borong, "I'll leave it to you here, I'll go out." β
"Yes!" Lu Borong agreed and watched his father leave.
When there were only two of them left in the hall, Lu Nianchen knelt straight down at Lu Borong, "What my father did today, my son is really proud of my father." β
Lu Borong sighed and helped his son up, "The injustices in this world, if you think about it, you will get justice after all, you have time, take care of the clansmen of the Xinyang Marquis Mansion more." β
Lu Nianchen nodded.
At this moment, he didn't expect that he would take care of a "tomboy" as his wife later.
National Teacher's Mansion, Lu Nianjin learned of the fate of the old lady, the corners of her mouth hooked a sneer, she put down the white chess in her hand, and instructed Yun Jiang, "Let the two of them follow, don't let them die easily." β
"Yes, girl!" Yun Jiang agreed, and went to arrange people.
On the other side, after thinking about the street corner near Bofu, the old lady cleaned up her embarrassment, looked at Lu Jiayi, and said with a moving water in her eyes, "Yi'er, you still love your mother the most." β
Lu Jiayi shivered in the cold wind, her smile was a little stiff, can she say, has she regretted it a little now?
I knew that if I said a few more words on the spur of the moment, I would be kicked out, what kind of mouth did she have at that time? Well, now it's a human tragedy to squat here and be cold and hungry! Where had she suffered like this before!
