Chapter 32: The Lu Clan's Annihilation
Three days later, the sky was full of dark clouds, black and oppressive, and from a distance, the capital seemed to be alive in a gap between heaven and earth, which made people feel very depressed.
Although the sky is about to rain heavily, the entrance of the vegetable market is still crowded with people. Everyone was watching the Lu family waiting to be beheaded, discussing the topic of LΓΌ Xiang's treason.
Lu Xin, who was hiding in a small alley, wearing a hooded cloak, stood here early in the morning, watching her family kneeling on the guillotine in prison uniforms from a distance.
Since she came out of the Prince's Mansion, she has known what the end of the road is. The government has already posted portraits of her and her second brother, and has also posted a reward list to arrest her and her second brother. Fortunately, the second brother was not in the capital at all, so he survived, and he hid in Tibet for the past three days and settled in a broken temple.
She looked at the women of the Lu family on the guillotine, some of them were crying, some of them looked muggy, and everyone was wearing thin prison clothes, shivering in this still cold April day, the scene was not tragic and desolate.
She looked at her father, who had a majestic and respectable expression in the past, and at this time his expression was impatient, and his face also showed a look of defeat, maybe he was not afraid of his own life and death, but he could not afford to implicate the lives of his family.
And her mother, a woman who usually cries for her slightest injury or illness, looks indifferent and fearless at this time. Lu Xin sobbed, muttering countless times in her heart: "Mother, mother, don't go, I don't want you to leave me."
Her eldest brother and sister-in-law, although their arms were bound, still snuggled up to each other, and the six-year-old boy Yang leaned tightly into their arms, looking lifeless. She looked at the cute and mighty boy Zi Yang in the past, and shouted in her heart: "Zi Yang, Zi Yang, God, why are you so ruthless, why did you take his life?" Ziyang is still a child, why can't he let it go? β
Lu Xin looked at her family with a heartache, this scene will be engraved into her heart forever, and it cannot be erased, making her feel that she can no longer live.
Suddenly, on the guillotine, Mrs. Lu, who had been quiet, pulled her throat and shouted: "My son, if you hear your mother's words, you must live well for your mother and live for the Lu family, this is what your mother wishes in this life, otherwise, your mother will not be blind to death!" After saying that, she finally couldn't suppress the pain of missing her children, her face was distorted, and she cried bitterly. All the people of the Lu family behind her also cried bitterly, and the scene was heart-warming and moving.
When she said this, it was as if she had seen her own children, and she gave them a final admonition. There was a commotion in the crowd below, and the people present couldn't help but sigh, with different expressions, some sympathy, some resentment, some pity, and some .......
Lu Xin listened to her mother's words, biting her lips tightly and sobbing, tears flowed out uncontrollably, she wanted to rush forward more than once, hoping to let her mother see her, let her know that she was still alive, let their mother and daughter say their final goodbye, let them hug each other again, and be able to .......
But she can't, she must follow her mother's last wishes, continue to live for her mother and the Lu family. She swore that she must find out the enemy who framed the Lu family, revive the reputation of the Lu family, so that her family could not be unjustly killed, and she could not be discovered by others now.
She clung to the wall, sobbing helplessly, her clenched fists against her chest, and felt a tingling in her heart that made her gasp several times. I don't know how long it took, but the tears dried up.
When a scream from the onlookers rang out, Lu Xin raised her head in astonishment, and saw that her father's head had fallen to the ground, and she shouted hoarsely: "Daddy......."
Then I saw that my mother's head had fallen, and then I ...... Then ......, a ...... One....... She only felt that her eyes were full of crimson, and the sky and earth changed color instantly, as if the hustle and bustle of the whole world had stopped abruptly at this moment, she felt that the sky was spinning, her legs were weak, and she fell down violently, and her heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
Xuanyuan Rui knew that on the day when the Lu family was killed, Lu Xin would definitely appear. Since Lu Xin left that night, Xuanyuan Rui has been full of regrets. He has always blamed himself for his negligence, how could he ignore that Lu Xin would have such a thing. He knew that this woman would not be so obedient.
Although he was not worried that Lu Xin would have to worry about her life, he had analyzed that if the government found Xin'er, Li Qingyuan would definitely try to save her. If Li Qingyuan found Xin'er, it would not be even better. It's just that he just doesn't want Li Qingyuan to find Xin'er. In his heart, he seemed to have decided that Lu Xin was his person. He hoped that when she was the most sad, vulnerable, and helpless at this time, the person who could accompany Xin'er was him, not Li Qingyuan.
He mixed in with the crowd of onlookers and saw a lot of secret guards looking for Lu Xin. She must blend in with the crowd, he thought. But when the crowd dispersed, all the secret guards had no news about Lu Xin. This result made him even more uncertain, and he muttered in frustration in his heart: "Xin'er, Xin'er? Where exactly are you? Do you know that I'm looking for you so hard? β
