Chapter 10: Indifference and Ruthlessness
"Father, you want to guard the Lu family, but the Lu family still needs your protection?" But if the Lu family really needs him, will they tolerate the second uncle making trouble?
I'm afraid that everyone tacitly pins their hopes on the second uncle's son, Lu Jian.
Lu Cangliu was stunned, and his expression suddenly changed a lot.
Old Zheng sighed from the side: "I agree with Young Master Qingchen, if the head of the family insists on stepping down as the head of the family, then he will simply divide it cleanly, the second master is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and there is no taboo after becoming the head of the family, how will he treat you and the young master?" ”
"The master may not care, but what about the young master? Have you ever thought about how a young master without martial arts will be treated if he stays in the mansion? ”
Before Lu Qilin became the master, he picked on Lu Qingchen in every way.
What happens when you really become the head of the house?
Wake up with a word, Lu Cangliu suddenly realized that he could tolerate the grievances, but he couldn't tolerate Qingchen being stimulated again.
After being silent for a long time, he lightly tapped his head: "Okay, if the second child wants Lu Mansion, just give it to him, it's enough for me to take care of Qingchen in this life." ”
The father and son reached an agreement and rang the family communication bell.
Grandfather, second uncle, aunt and their relatives were present one after another.
Lu Qilin was arrogant, followed by the high-spirited Lu Jian, and the two of them attracted much attention when they entered.
"Big brother, have you figured it out?" Grandfather Lu Guyan is in the chief, and Lu Qilin is in the chief and second seat where the head of the family should sit, and he doesn't take the head of the family in his eyes.
Behind him stood Lu Jian, looking proud, holding his arms and not moving.
The third seat is a noble woman who is three points similar to her father and second uncle, and she is also Lu Qingchen's aunt, Lu Zheng.
Behind her stood a slender seventeen-year-old girl, with fair skin, snowy eyes like paint, soft as the wind, giving people a sense of quiet and beauty.
She is Lu Zheng's daughter, Lin Yuxuan, and also the cousin of Lu Qingchen and Lu Jian.
What is commendable is that the qualifications are very good, and he already has the realm of Xiaochen's Eight Ming, which is one level higher than Lu Jian.
She didn't move, looking at the Lu family meeting with an expressionless face.
Lu Guyan opened his mouth in vicissitudes: "Cangliu, is it urgent to summon everyone?" ”
Lu Cangliu stood in the center of the hall and bowed his head slowly: "Yes, call everyone here for what the second brother said." ”
When everyone heard this, they showed that they were really like this.
It seems that Lu Cangliu is in a hurry and is ready to convince everyone.
Lu Guyan sighed silently, his expression was complicated, and he sat silently, waiting for Lu Cangliu to continue.
His silence is an attitude that supports Lu Qilin!
Lu Qilin smiled: "Big brother, don't say anything superfluous, the Lu family, no one obeys you anymore, and verbal persuasion is useless." ”
Lu Jian behind him snorted, and there was a look of contempt in his eyes.
Lu Zheng sighed slowly: "Big brother, little sister doesn't want to see infighting in Lu Mansion, you are the head of the family, it's time to pay attention." ”
She doesn't seem to be partial to anyone, but sitting here today is a gesture - she supports Lu Qilin.
Otherwise, she should refuse Lu Qilin's invitation.
Lu Cangliu nodded, his eyes calm: "I will step down as the head of the family, and whoever will take it afterwards will be appointed by my father." ”
Lu Guyan, Lu Qilin and Lu Zheng were all surprised.
He didn't say a word of argument, and immediately gave up the position of head of the family, which was really unexpected.
Lu Qilin was overjoyed, it was fake that he broke up the family, and it was true that he forced Lu Cangliu to give way, he didn't expect him to abdicate so easily, it was really an unexpected surprise, presumably he also knew that his son was not angry, so he simply gave up fighting, right?
"Haha, big brother is wise!" He hugged his fists, seemed to be smiling, and got up without a smile.
Lu Zheng said: "Big brother, the Lu Mansion has been thanks to you all these years, why don't you think about it again?" ”
False persuasion, I can't hear the slightest retention.
Only Lin Guyan knows the temperament of his eldest son best, and in order to maintain the integrity and unity of the Lu Mansion, he endured the humiliation and voluntarily stepped down as the head of the family.
A deep sense of guilt lingered in his heart, and he knew exactly what the two sons were.
The second child is not the material of the head of the house at all!
Without the support of his eldest son, how could Lu Mansion be where it is today?
Now, he forced his eldest son to leave the position of head of the family, and he felt uncomfortable.
But looking at Lu Jian who was standing behind Lu Qilin, Lu Guyan's mood was much calmer.
It's not that he's ruthless, it's not that he's unrighteous, but that Lu Qilin did give birth to a good son.
The future of the Lu family is destined to depend on Lu Jian.
Now forcing Lu Cangliu to give up the position of the head of the family is also for the good of him and Lu Qingchen.
Thinking so in his heart, Lu Guyan was not uncomfortable, looked at Lu Cangliu indifferently, and bowed slightly: "Okay, the head of the family takes turns to be the leader, and it is fair to each other." ”
How can it be fair? The foundation of the Lu Mansion today was laid down by Lu Cangliu single-handedly!
The original Lu Mansion was not even a fourth-rate family.
Lu Qingchen took in everyone's expressions and words, and his heart was cold.
The so-called relatives, nothing more than that.
Lu Cangliu also sighed silently, Qingchen and Zheng Lao were right, the Lu family didn't need him.
What they need is the land sword of the dragon among the people of the future.
It doesn't matter if there is him or not.
Lu Guyan said approvingly: "In the future, let Qilin manage the family affairs, and you will be idle and have a good rest." ”
In the Lu Mansion, he is the one with the highest strength.
It is precisely because of him that he can deter the younger generation, otherwise most of the industries of the Lu Mansion will be eroded by evil forces.
Lu Qilin also had no opinion, and said secretly: "Before Lu Jian grows up, Lu Cangliu still has some value, and when you don't need him, you can find a way to kick him out." ”
Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
After all, Lu Cangliu was the former head of the family, and Lu Qilin was not worried that he would stay in the Lu Mansion all the time.
Seeing that the big thing was solved, Lu Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "Big brother, when you are free, you have to give you some guidance on Yu Yu's cultivation." ”
After all, the eldest brother is the existence of the five stacks of the Zhongchen position, although he is sick, it is difficult to cross the cultivation again.
But the cultivation experience is real and cannot be wasted.
On the one hand, they kicked Lu Cangliu away from the position of the head of the family regardless of family affection, but on the other hand, they used family affection to squeeze his value.
Lu Cangliu said lightly: "In addition to stepping down as the head of the family, I have another thing to announce. ”
After a pause, he said: "Since the second child has taken over as the head of the family, I believe that the Lu Mansion will be prosperous, and I want to leave the Lu Mansion and live alone with the light dust." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.
Is this going to be separated?
Lu Qilin was immediately dissatisfied, splitting the family meant dividing the family property, he didn't want to just become the head of the family and shrink the family property in his hand by half.
couldn't help but immediately give Lu Guyan a look, asking him to oppress Lu Cangliu and force him to stay.
Lu Zheng also frowned slightly, and also looked at Lu Guyan, asking him to pay attention.
Lu Guyan was also unexpected, with his understanding, the eldest son would take care of the whole family and continue to stay in the mansion to protect the family.
The announcement of the separation exceeded expectations.
"Cangliu, you are abandoning the Lu family by doing this!" Lu Guyan took out his father's majesty and stereotyped education: "The Lu Mansion can only have today because of unity, if you go, won't it make the Lu Mansion fall apart?" ”
It's ridiculous, when they kicked Lu Cangliu away, they never said that this would affect the unity of the Lu government.
Now my father is leaving, but he is putting all the blame on my father.
It's as if the second uncle seized the throne and made today's situation as if his father caused it.
With such a face and such a mentality, Lu Qingchen couldn't be more disappointed.
Lu Cangliu also sighed secretly, the world is hot and cold!
Without saying a word, he took out the fiery red jade plate from his bosom, which was the seal of the head of the family that had been passed down in the Lu Mansion for generations.
He stepped forward, placed it on the offering table, and then bowed down to the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Lu Mansion.
Then he turned around, took Lu Qingchen's hand, and walked out of the hall without looking back.
Before taking a step, he said lightly: "I don't take a penny from the property of the Lu Mansion, and from then on, my second brother and I are two families." ”
There was silence in the hall.
After a while, Lu Qilin's face showed ecstasy, got up and hugged his fists and said: "You can be a witness, I separated from my eldest brother Lu Cangliu, and all the property belongs to me, and it is not my persecution." ”
Lu Jian also smiled contemptuously, his identity is now soaring, and without his hands, he scared the father and son to leave.
There is nothing more joyful than this in life!
Hahaha!
Lu Zheng glanced at the back of his eldest brother and stretched out his hand, but he sighed and did not stay.
"Hey, eldest brother, you are better than the second brother in everything, but you are not as good as him to give birth to a son, but if you give birth to a mediocre person, you will not end up today."
Lu Guyan's eyes darkened, but he looked at Lu Jian and rekindled hope.
It is better for the eldest son and eldest grandson to leave, leaving Lu Jian alone to grow up quietly, which may be more beneficial to the Lu Mansion.
After a pause, he said: "Don't spread the news about the separation of the family for the time being." ”
Lu Jian didn't grow up, and he had to rely on Lu Cangliu's reputation to suppress the family's industry.
Several people bowed their heads, and they all understood this truth.
Lu Zheng glanced at Lu Jian and greeted Lin Yuyu: "Yuyu, you and Jian'er go for a walk and discuss cultivation, in the future, our two families will always be close, and it is inevitable that we will meet often." ”
In the past, when Lu Zheng came back to visit relatives or pay New Year's greetings, he mainly made friends with the eldest brother, and the second brother was secondary.
After today, it will be reversed.
Or don't go to the big brother's place again!
The eldest brother has nothing now, and his son is useless, and if he continues to be a relative, he will inevitably ask her one day, and it will be trouble after all.
This relative, don't leave.
Lu Qilin was proud of the spring breeze, and looked at Lin Yuxuan, who was dignified and beautiful, and was a rare beauty embryo.
is similar in age to Lu Jian, and his strength is a head higher than him.
He joked: "Third sister, do you think the two children are a good match?" ”
Lu Zheng's heart moved, knowing what he meant.
She let Lin Yuyu get close to Lu Jian, which also has this meaning.
The so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and cousin marriages are very common in the Principality of Tianfeng.
Lin Yuxuan marries someone else, it is better to marry his brother's son, which is not only safe, but also closer, especially Lu Jian's future is very bright.
"Don't say it, at first glance it's really a good match!" Lu Zheng said with a smile on his face.
Lin Yuqiao's face was slightly embarrassed: "Mother! ”
Lu Jian's heart was full of joy, and he had long been greedy for this beautiful cousin.
However, in the past, she only pestered Lu Qingchen, and never pretended to him.
Now that the two adults have matched, he is very happy.
