Chapter 258: The Lu family changes hands
Lu Yuanwai was confused for a while, his son knew best when Lu Jingyi had been so concerned about people's livelihood, but after thinking about it, he felt incredible, he looked at Lu Jingye in shock, and said in disbelief: "...... What do you mean?! ”
"The eldest brother cares about the safety of the people, and unfortunately dies in the process of eliminating harm for the people, this is the glory of the Lu family, and it will also win the love of the people, isn't it, Dad?" Lu Jingye's smile was cold, without any human affection, as if he was not talking about his eldest brother, but an inconsequential stranger.
Lu Yuanwai didn't expect Lu Jingye to say such a thing, and he didn't react for a while, and thought for a while before he said slowly: "But wouldn't the marriage with the Deng family be ...... in this way?" ”
On the surface, Deng Junqi and Lu Jingyi are mandarin ducks who are hard-working, and it has finally become a problem, if Lu Jingyi dies for the people at this time, the Deng family will definitely not marry Deng Junqi.
"Father, do you know why the Deng family is willing to make this marriage?" Lu Jingye said casually.
"Because Deng Junqi and Lu Jing are in love?" Lu Yuanwai was a little confused.
"Is it just a matter of affection?" Lu Jingye seemed to be guiding him, and said slowly: "Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents, and there are many people who are in love, and there are a few couples who can succeed, and it is not because the two of them have the reality of husband and wife. ”
Hearing this, Lu Yuanwai understood, and he suddenly said: "It means that the reason why the Deng family agreed was because of Lu Jingyi and Deng Junqi?!" ”
That's right, the Deng family is a big family, and its own women have nothing to do with men before they leave the boudoir, which is absolutely not allowed in the big family.
Lu Yuanwai sat in the chair for a long time and didn't speak, his back was a little hunched, and a few strands of hair fell from his forehead, as if he was dozens of years old in an instant.
He was considering whether the Lu family's century-old foundation was important, or the relationship between father and son was important.
Lu Jingye was waiting on the side, and when the tea bottomed out, he got up and said slowly: "Dad, think slowly, I'll go and get busy first." ”
"Karma, wait." Without waiting for Lu Jingye to go out, Lu Yuanwai stopped him, his voice was hoarse, with some unbearability, "Dad has figured it out, just do what he says, Dad is old, and the affairs of the Lu family will have to rely on more in the future." ”
With a pun, Lu Jingye smiled slightly, leaned over and said, "I know, Dad, don't worry, leave it to me, just have a good rest." ”
After saying that, Lu Jingye turned around and left, there was only one person left in the room, he sat down on the chair, sighed, clenched and released his slightly clenched fists, and his voice was slow and old: "Jingyi, don't blame Dad, these are all for the Lu family's ......"
……
It's night.
Lu Jingyi has been locked in the room for a day and a night, and the three meals are handed in by the subordinates from the small window, no one talks to him, and even the subordinates who followed him in the past see him as if they have seen the plague, and they can hide as far as they can.
In the messy room, all kinds of precious jade and porcelain were broken and sprinkled all over the ground, and the curtains and curtains were torn everywhere, and he was tired of tossing, and sat down on the ground, looking at the messy room by the moonlight, and suddenly laughed at himself.
Who would have thought that a few days ago he was the most honorable young master in the entire Red River City, but now he is under house arrest at home, not even as good as a prisoner.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door.
Stomp - Stomp -
"Who?" Lu Jingyi was subconsciously vigilant, he thought that some kind of ghost was coming to ask for his life, he had been numb from fright for such a long time, much calmer than before, he held a stick in his hand, and shouted: "I won't go with him to see the king of Hades!" ”
A short knock on the door sounded, as if it was just a symbolic courtesy, and without waiting for Lu Jingyi's permission, the person outside the door pushed the door in.
"Big brother, it's me, Jingye."
Seeing that it was Lu Jingye who pushed the door in, Lu Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, the weapon in his hand fell to the ground weakly, and his voice relaxed a lot, "Yes, I was scared to death." ”
Lu Jingye looked around the room, found a clean chair to sit down at random, and asked as if chattering, "Big brother, do you feel better?" ”
Lu Jingyi was under house arrest for a day and a night and finally saw a living person, and he was defenseless against Lu Jingye himself, so he pulled him and said: "Dad doesn't believe me, you should always believe what the eldest brother said." I dug out my heart and said, there are really ghosts in our family, Jingye helped me persuade my father, tell the villagers the truth, and the marriage contract with the Deng family, I don't want it, nothing is worth it, okay? ”
Lu Jingyi looked at Lu Jingye expectantly, his eyes were sincere, in his heart, his younger brother has been like this since he was a child, he was obedient to him, he said that this younger brother would do the same, he thought it would be like this this time, but ......
"Big brother, don't you understand the reason why Dad is locked up here until now?" Lu Jingye looked at Lu Jingye, at this moment, he was sitting on the seat, and Lu Jingyi fell to the ground, Lu Jingye looked at him condescendingly, and a bit of unprecedented superiority rose in his heart.
No, it's a sense of victory that has been long-awaited and how long it has been planned.
“…… What does this mean? Lu Jingyi was stunned, and he didn't react to why his younger brother, who had always been obedient to him, became like this.
"Big brother, do you think that the Lu family's century-old foundation is compared with life, which one will my father choose?" The corners of Lu Jingye's mouth are hooked upward, which is a bit of a villain's ambition.
Seeing that Lu Jingyi didn't speak, he continued: "Think the marriage between the Lu family and the Deng family is just to help pay off gambling debts? Can you know that the Deng family is the prime minister's family, and being able to climb such a big family, even if the other party is a concubine, is a great favor to the Lu family, and I think my father will let him do whatever he wants and ruin the future of the Lu family? ”
"But...... There are really ghosts, there are really powerful ghosts who want to ask for my life, after all, we framed others first, and I don't ...... Deng Junqi at all."
"Smack!"
Before Lu Jingyi finished speaking, Lu Jingye slapped him in the face with a big mouth, and his voice was crisp, which was particularly obvious in the empty room.
“…… Dare to hit me, it's against God! Lu Jingyi frowned, and looked at Lu Jingye in disbelief, "I'm a big brother!" ”
Compared with Lu Jingyi's surprise, Lu Jingye didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with doing this, he looked at Lu Jingyi indifferently, and said loudly like a condemned prisoner: "From today on, I don't have a big brother, the eldest brother cares about the people of Red River City, and he died in the process of suppressing bandits, the people of Red River City will remember well, and the Lu family will remember everything he has done for the Lu family." ”
"What do you mean?" Lu Jingyi had a bad premonition, he was a little afraid of Lu Jingye, and even subconsciously retreated.
Lu Jingye smiled slightly, his smile was a little infiltrating, and he said in a faint voice: "Don't worry, eldest brother, from now on, I will be in charge of the entire Lu family for my eldest brother, and I will also be filial to my father and mother." Oh, by the way, and the wife who has not passed through the door, the younger brother will also take care of it, and the eldest brother will go on the road with peace of mind. ”
"Lu Jingye, what do you want to do, I, I am the son-in-law born to the main room of the Lu family!" Lu Jingyi trembled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell my father!" ”
"I'm sorry, my dad told me to do this." Lu Jingye's smile was gloomy, and he didn't know when there was an extra pill in his hand, "I have been abandoned by the Lu family!" ”
"No way, this can't be!" Lu Jingyi roared and roared, "I am the eldest young master of the Lu family, Lu Jingye will be punished by God if he does this!" ”
"If the innocent has long eyes, let him punish me, I am different from my eldest brother, I am not afraid of ghosts." A touch of fierceness flashed in Lu Jingye's eyes, and the next moment, taking advantage of Lu Jingye's unpreparedness, he violently clamped the other party's chin, pried open his mouth and stuffed the pill in.
"Hmm...... Ahem, ahem! ”
Lu Jingyi covered his mouth, coughed hard, and even used his hand to clasp his throat, but the pill melted in his mouth, and it had already flowed down his esophagus into his stomach, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "What did you give me?!" ”
"There is no incurable poison, and the effect of the medicine will attack in less than half an hour." Lu Jingye snorted coldly and dusted off the ashes on his body, "Since it's my eldest brother, of course I won't let it go too painfully, and those resentments should be told to the king of Hades!" ”
After speaking, Lu Jingye kicked away Lu Jingyi and clenched his hand, turned to leave.
"Lu Jingye, a brute, come back to me, come back!"
There is a family guard at the door, where can Lu Jingyi get out, he struggled for a long time and was kicked back to the room by the family, he fell to the ground, all his thoughts were discouraged, and he only hated why he didn't see the true face of this cowardly villain earlier.
Lu Jingyi's heart was on fire, plus he took poison again, his fists were clenched, and he saw his eyes widen suddenly, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a pop!
He clutched his chest, did he really die like that? But he's not reconciled, unwilling!!
"Not reconciled, right?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the quiet room, still a woman's voice, ethereal and clear, as if it came from far away, and it seemed to be close at hand.
"Who?" Lu Jingyi looked around, it was still empty, he calmed down, and thought to himself, maybe it was the ancients often said to return to the light?
"Do you want to help me take revenge?"
The first time, Lu Jingyi could still panic and deceive himself that he heard it wrong, but this time he really listened to it, there must be someone in this room!
No, it could be a ghost!
After being tortured for so long, Lu Jingyi had long been numb, he stared out of the window with blank eyes, and said lightly: "I have already received the retribution I deserve, what else do I want, where do I come from, go back, if I am really panicked, I will torture Lu Jingye, and it will be regarded as a good deed." ”
"Heh, I'm really scared silly."
There was a soft laugh from the other end, and then Lu Jingye felt that it was dark in front of him, a figure fell from the sky, and his black hair fluttered like a waterfall, and he only smelled the faint fragrance between his noses, mixed with the smell of medicine.
When the man really stood in front of him and saw the truth, Lu Jingyi was really stupid.
If the female ghost was really so good-looking, he felt that it would be worth it to be tortured for two more days!
