Chapter Forty-Eight: Too Much

"Mother."

When Mrs. Lu woke up slowly, the second young master, Lu Heng, was standing next to her, calling in a gentle voice.

The fourth young master Lu Fang, the fifth young master Lu Qi and Lu Tang were also there, and they all looked at Mrs. Lu with some concern.

"I'm fine."

Mrs. Lu was carefully helped up by Mingyue and Mingzhu, took the teacup with blue and white pastel roses, took a sip of warm tea, and nodded comfortingly at a few people.

"Go down first."

Mrs. Lu looked around, and sure enough, she found that her youngest son Lu Zhen was missing, and she felt a slight pain in her heart, so she waved her hand to the other children.

"Heng'er stays for the time being."

Second Young Master Lu Heng paused slightly, smiled comfortingly at the younger siblings who left, closed the door, and stayed in the room alone.

"Your brother ......"

Seeing the others leaving, Mrs. Lu didn't care about her weakness, sat up straight with a little eagerness, and asked Lu Heng.

"Mother don't worry, the sixth brother is in trouble, so naturally he will be punished, and the son has his own sense of proportion."

Seeing Mrs. Lu's anxious face, Lu Er hurriedly comforted her.

"What did your brother do wrong? and he will be put in prison. ”

Although Mrs. Lu knows that her second son is the most intelligent and very measured, there must be some reason for this. But in the end, I couldn't help but cry.

"Lu Zhen knocked He Ge Lao's grandson unconscious."

Lu Heng sighed slightly and replied softly.

"Ming'er, I will prepare a gift and go to the old mansion of He Ge to make amends, where is it worth putting your brother in prison?"

When Mrs. Lu heard the reason, she couldn't help but sit up straight, and looked at Lu Hengdao with a slight choked up.

This matter can be said to be big, small or small, but they are also official eunuchs, and any festivals on weekdays are solved in private, and where there are two things to say, they will directly send the son-in-law of the official family to the prison, and what is even more infuriating is that it is his other son who sent his youngest son to the prison.

"But Elder He Ge and your father had a festival in the court?"

Mrs. Lu wiped away her tears and asked.

"Not really."

Mrs. Lu's face sank slightly, and she looked at Lu Heng with some complaints: "Then take your brother back, don't say that our Lu Mansion can't afford to lose such a face, even your brother can't bear such hardships." ”

"But Lu Zhen hit He Yuanzhou's head, if I hadn't shouted earlier, that stick would have been the life of the old grandson of He Ge."

Lu Heng suddenly raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Lu, and said softly.

"What?"

Mrs. Lu was shocked.

"Zhen'er is now fourteen, and she should understand some truth."

Lu Heng looked at his mother, his eyes lowered and continued.

"Now my father is respected and powerful, and he has won the trust of the emperor, and his mother is the daughter of a family, and the foreign family has a three-hundred-year inheritance and profound heritage. It is the time when the flowers are brocade and the fire is boiling. But if you let your family act recklessly, it will inevitably cause a big disaster. ”

Mrs. Lu listened in a daze, and the tears in her eyes suddenly didn't know.

Seeing this, Lu Er softened his tone and said, "But He Yuanzhou really should fight." Although the sixth brother refused to tell me the reason, Wu Yan told me. The good grandson of the old man of He Ge didn't learn and didn't know how to do it on weekdays, but because he was jealous of the talent of the third brother in Su Rili, he made fun of him behind his back and called him to be a ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Heng also gritted his teeth, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"One-armed Langjun."

Mrs. Lu was a little stunned when she heard these four words, and then she felt a pain in her heart, and she suddenly felt a little out of breath.

Seeing this, Lu Heng hurriedly came over to support her, and asked with a little worry, "Mother?" ”

"It's okay."

Mrs. Lu waved her hand, and reluctantly sat up straight and leaned against the edge of the bed.

"You go down first."

She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and said tiredly.

Lu Heng looked at his mother with some worry, but he didn't say anything more, and politely exited the door.

There was silence in the inner room, only the incense of agarwood in the incense burner rose and fainted thin lines of smoke. Suddenly, there was a slight suppressed laughter of the maids in the corridor outside, and I don't know what interesting things they were talking about.

Mrs. Lu leaned quietly on the bed, her eyes lowered, and her face was expressionless.

"It's too much of a deception."

She whispered suddenly.

"It's too much deception...... It's too much of a deception! ”

Large teardrops smashed on the bed, wetting the bedding embroidered with red cloud brocade embroidered dragons and phoenixes.

…………

Garden path.

"Second brother, how can you bear to let the sixth brother go to prison? If he makes a mistake, you can come back and teach him a lesson, and now how pitiful it is to be alone in prison now. ”

Lu Tang pouted and was unhappy, and followed Lu Er to babble endlessly.

"Tang Tang, do you know what mistake your sixth brother made?"

Lu Heng suddenly stopped, turned around and asked.

Lu Tang almost bumped into his second brother, and when he heard the problem, he didn't think about it, and blurted out: "The sixth brother made the mistake of fighting with someone." ”

After thinking about it, he was a little unconvinced, so he bit his lip and said angrily: "But he is here to save the son of Wu Shangshu's family, not to be ruthless." What's more, Wu Yan is only twelve this year, didn't my father say that we should take care of the young. ”

Lu Er's eyes were slightly warm when he looked at his sister's unconvinced appearance, but his mouth was merciless: "Although he has a reason, if he makes a mistake, he is wrong, and he can't ignore the rules and the law because of this." If officials blindly look at people's feelings when adjudicating cases, this program will often be chaotic. ”

"Then I didn't see the son-in-law of another family being arrested, why was only our family arrested and put in prison?"

Lu Tang's eyes were glistening with tears, and he asked unconvinced.

"The reason for this, you can ask for yourself when he comes back."

Lu Er's eyes were a little complicated, and he patted his sister's head gently.

Lu Tang lowered his head and held back his tears, and walked forward without saying a word. Lu Heng didn't speak, only slowed down slightly, and walked beside his sister.

When they walked near the study, Lu Heng and Lu Tang looked at each other, only to see that the courtyard was empty, the door of the study was still tightly closed, and only the empty bowl of food was placed at the door, indicating that there were still people inside.

Lu Heng had some indescribable feelings, and suddenly a small voice came from his ear with a nasal voice: "Why is there always an accident at home recently?" First of all, the third brother's hand was crippled, and he still can't write in the study. Then the sixth brother fought with others, and he went to prison for some reason. ”

Lu Heng was a little sad when he heard this, and couldn't help but pat his little sister on the shoulder, and gently comforted him: "It'll be fine." ”

"Second brother, I'm afraid."

Lu Tang couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself into Lu Heng's arms, and cried loudly.
