In the study of the Lu Mansion, the lights were not extinguished all night.

The early morning light sprinkled on the courtyard, and there were tiny dusts slowly moving in the golden sunlight.

The rough maid who cleaned the courtyard of the study was waving a broom and looking in the direction of the study with a little worry, but the door was still not moving, as if it would never be opened again.

…………

At this time, the main courtyard was very lively, except for Lu Heng and Lu Fang, the two new science and technology scholars who went to Hanlin Yuan early, and the other five young masters Lu Qi, the sixth young master Lu Zhen and Lu Tang were all in Mrs. Lu's house to say goodbye. The chubby snowball dog was also brought, and was playing with the maids in the yard with his tongue sticking out and shaking his head.

"Mother, why hasn't the third brother come out yet?"

Lu Tang sat on the chair and asked Mrs. Lu with some concern.

"Your third brother has been very smart since he was a child, and he has his own sense of proportion."

"Then what should the third brother do if he is hungry?"

Lu Tang asked again with a pout.

"Don't worry about Tang'er, my mother asked Mingyue to order the kitchen to make some food for your third brother, and I should send it away at this time."

Although Mrs. Lu's words were all words of comfort, her slightly frowning brows did not flatten at all, which showed that she was not worried in her heart.

"The third brother's right hand is disabled, and it is very difficult to write with his left hand. And if he is such an arrogant character in his life, if he can't write a satisfactory word, he is afraid that he will not come out easily. ”

Fifth Young Master Lu Qi sighed and said softly.

Sixth Young Master Lu Zhen was even more anxious, frowned and stomped his feet: "Isn't the third brother going to stay in the study for a long time?" ”

Lu Tang on the side bit his lip tightly, and just when he was about to say something, a servant woman suddenly came from outside the door in a hurry, saying that there was a man named Furong Yu on the outer door who asked to see him.

"Hibiscus Jade?"

Mrs. Lu turned her head slightly puzzled and looked at the pearl behind her.

"Mrs. Hui, that hibiscus jade is a drama of singing. During the Chinese New Year, our house invited his Dexi team. ”

Mingzhu leaned over slightly and whispered in Mrs. Lu's ear.

"Oh, it's him. Strange sounds familiar. Mrs. Lu couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and then frowned again.

"Now a person who can't be on the stage dares to go to our house to ask for a meeting?"

The servant woman at the door bowed in fear, and replied: "Mrs. Hui, the hibiscus jade on the outer door said that she knew who ordered someone to cripple our third young master's hand." ”

"What?!"

Mrs. Lu stood up with a bang, and almost knocked over the tea cup next to her because of the too large range of movement.

The rest of the room looked shocked and whispered to each other.

Mrs. Lu stabilized her mind and waved her hand at the servant who reported at the door: "Quickly invite that hibiscus jade into the mansion." ”

While hurriedly taking Mingzhu and Mingyue, the two big maidens, walked to the front hall.

Lu Tang and the others also followed Mrs. Lu, wanting to go and see what was going on together. But they were sent away halfway through, and let them go to play and not make trouble.

In the garden, the snowball dog ran in front of him, and Lu Tang, Lu Zhen, and Lu Qi slowly followed behind with the maids.

"Who do you say commanded the man?"

Lu Tang didn't care about admiring the pleasant spring scenery around him, he only frowned, biting the handkerchief and thinking about it, he couldn't come up with a clue.

Lu Qi and Lu Zhen next to them were also confused, hoping to get news from Mrs. Lu for a while.

In fact, the thief who interrupted the palm of Lu Jiu, the third young master of the Lu family, was found by the servants in the casino in the city on the afternoon of the release of the list.

Because it is rare for a Jinshi to be broken by his life, it is the first case in the founding of Dayan. Emperor Long Yan was furious, so he made an exception and ordered Dali Temple to interrogate carefully with the officials of Shuntianfu. The officials interrogated for a long time, whether it was coercion or inducement, and exhausted all kinds of punishments for the splasher.

The splash skin is a hard bone to gnaw, and he only bites it to death and says that Lu Jiu has offended him, so he holds a grudge and waits for an opportunity to retaliate, and he can't ask anything else. In the end, he could only be locked up in prison and waited for the autumn queen to be beheaded.

The matter has come to this, and there is the emperor's grace above. The Lu family could only grit their teeth and suffer this dumb loss, secretly hating the sky and having no eyes.

Now that Furong Yu actually came to the door and said that someone instructed Na Pi to do things, and he knew the name of that person, which couldn't help but surprise everyone in the Lu Mansion.

Because Lu Yushi was not in the palace, Lu Heng and Lu Fang went to Hanlin Garden. Lu Zhen and Lu Qi are young and don't have anything to do, although Mrs. Lu is a female dependent, but as the hostess, she has to invite him in to talk about it in detail.

In the antechamber of the Lu Mansion.

Mrs. Lu's face was gloomy, and she waved her hand to let Mingzhu Mingyue and the two maids retreat.

"You mean, it was Nian Feng Lane's Zhou Xiaoli who found that splash skin and broke my son's hand?"

She asked as she stared into Furong Yu's eyes.

That hibiscus jade is wearing a silver crown with a bundle of hair today, sanglong going out to sea to wipe his forehead, wearing white python arrow sleeves, surrounded by pearls and silver belts, looking like white jade, eyes like paint, sitting in the hall like a Zhilan jade tree.

"Mrs. Hui, it is Zhou Jun's old thief."

His eyes were deep, and unknown emotions were tumbling in them.

"Presumptuous, you dare to talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Lu slammed the tea cup in her hand on the table with a snap, and suddenly the tea splashed around, soaking her sleeves slightly.

"Zhou Xiaoli has always been an upright person, and he is a well-known honest man in the government and the opposition, and he has been an official for 32 years. How dare you frame him for your own selfish desires and use our Lu Mansion as a gunman? ”

Mrs. Lu didn't care about the slight wetness of her sleeves, gritted her teeth and grinded out the words word by word from between her teeth, obviously angry.

That Furong Yu was not frightened by Mrs. Lu's appearance, she only raised her eyes to look at her, and a slightly sad smile slowly bloomed at the corner of her mouth.

"If the lady doesn't believe it, the slave really has nothing to say."

He paused, and said softly in his mouth: "It's a pity that the third young master of your mansion, the son of Lu Yushi, and the thirteenth Jinshi of the Spring Mansion. Now he has broken a hand in vain, burying a bright future. ”

Mrs. Lu was slightly stunned and did not speak again.

There was a sudden silence in the antechamber, and only the sound of the two of them could be heard breathing softly.

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Lu's low voice came from the empty hall.

"Do you know what you just said?"

Furong Yu lowered her eyes, and a sad smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"The slave naturally knows."

"If it's fake, that's it." Mrs. Lu took a deep breath, and with a slight trembling hand, she picked up the half-sprinkled teacup.

"If what you say is true, there will be a big storm in this capital."

She took a sip of the tea, and it was already cold.

"Then it depends on Lord Yushi and Mrs. Yushi, whether they are willing to seek justice for their son."

Furong Yu clenched the hand hidden in her sleeve and said softly.

Mrs. Lu slowly put the tea cup in her hand on the table and did not speak.
