Chapter 385: A Tooth for a Tooth?

Lu Yicheng almost wanted to vomit blood!

In his life, his career has been smooth.

Before participating in the imperial examination, he happened to meet Gu Shao, and since then he has started the Darui officialdom strategy under Gu Shao's guidance, hugged the thigh of the East Palace early, and became a hero from the dragon without much effort!

Maybe there are gains and losses, but none of his family members have peace of mind!

First of all, he gave birth to his wife Huang, who originally relied on the distant relationship with Empress Wei, and when Empress Wei was only the crown princess, he became a frequent visitor to the East Palace, and won the trust of the crown princess - God knows what the Huang family was crazy about, but he ran twice for the marriage of his son-in-law's eldest daughter, and when he turned around, he hid it from the crown princess and him, and insisted on eradicating Song Yixiao, who was not in the river water with the Lu family's original well water!

Then the end was that the palace directly sent a glass of wine to Lu Mansion, and simply sent her on the road.

If it weren't for Song Yixiao who sent Aunt Yun to the Song Mansion in time, the death of the Huang family would have affected the Lu family's corpse and three lives!

Thinking about this matter now, Lu Yicheng feels troubled.

After all, there is a husband and wife, and the Huang family has always been a virtuous helper, but he doesn't think that the Huang family should provoke Song Yixiao - the question is, do you want to pit Song Yixiao, can you do it alone?

That Song Yi smiled and said something unpleasant, that is, her father doesn't love her grandmother, she said that her surname is Song, when did someone in the Song family support her? Even though her mother-in-law Wei Mengying is a princess, she gave birth to three children after marrying into the palace, how much energy and care can she give to her eldest daughter?

At that time, she had just married into the Yanguo Mansion, and she was still in the polite stage with her husband's relatives, let alone any feelings.

And what about Huang?

Because of the relationship with the East Palace, that meeting is often in and out of the palace, and it has a very high status in front of several dignitaries in the harem.

If she deals with Song Yixiao alone, even if she is discovered, with her past feelings, there will be no room for mediation!

She just wanted to get involved with Cui Jianlian, and asked Qiu Shuxia and others to seize the opportunity to expose it in the court, causing a storm in the city, and even the entire East Palace was disgraced - that was the time to compete for the reserve!

In this way, how can she have enough love for the royal family?

didn't involve the Lu family, it was already the old love of the East Palace!

Let's talk about Lu Yicheng's daughter Lu - although Lu Yicheng originally had the idea of giving Gu Shao face, he promised to marry his favorite youngest daughter to Song Yuan as a continuation, or the second continuation, but in fact, he himself was very satisfied with Song Yuan.

A child of a family, born as a champion, although he has been married twice, he has only one eldest daughter who was born from the original match and is not loved by anyone in the Song family.

The point is that this eldest daughter is not raised in the Song family, so after the daughter marries, what is the difference between her usual life and the original match?

Especially Mrs. Pang hated Wei Mengying, and after the Lu family passed the door, she was very kind to the Lu family as if she was revenged, even if the Lu family only gave birth to a daughter at the beginning, she was also pampered as a baby.

Things are normal here, but because of Song Yixiao's marriage with Jian Xubai, the Lu family learned about the stepdaughter's experience in the Song family in the past years, and was both guilty and worried that she would rely on her husband's family to take revenge on the Song family in the future, and decided to take the opposite approach to her mother Huang: probation!

At that time, Lu Yicheng persuaded her: "That's Song Yuan's daughter, not your daughter, and I haven't asked you to raise it, what do you care about the gossip between their father and daughter?" Even if she marries into the Yanguo Mansion and becomes the lady of Yanguo, will she definitely be able to take the Song family? You don't want to think about it, your husband was the top of the gold list back then, and he was favored by Duke Gu, when he didn't have a marquis and worshiped the prime minister, his father's official position was not low, and when he joined forces, as long as he didn't fall into the handle, he needed to be afraid of the Yanguo Mansion? The Jian family is not a simple family, and they can't fight themselves! ”

He also said, "What's more, the Song family is the daughter of Song Yuan, and filial piety is pressed, what can she do?" What do you have to compensate her for? Song Yuan doesn't like this daughter at all, if you don't say it in front of him, he knows that you are showing favor to the Song family in private, how can he be happy? When the time comes, don't coax the Song family, but break away from Song Yuan! ”

Helplessly, Lu insisted that "the husband has always doted on Bao'er, and the eldest lady is also the daughter of the husband, and I heard the old man of the Song family say that before Princess Wei remarried, she was also the treasure of the husband's heart." Even though her husband has been angry with her over the years and no longer cherishes her, what if her husband changes his mind after a long time? At that time, the eldest lady has been estranged from the Song family for a long time, isn't it a pity? ”

Moreover, "husband and wife are one, the husband owes the eldest lady, he can't figure it out now and doesn't want to pay attention to the eldest lady, I, as his wife, should mediate between the father and daughter on his behalf!" ”

Lu Yicheng couldn't persuade her, and he didn't care about it when he heard the headache - now that he thinks about it, he should have been in charge of it in the first place!

If you can't persuade your daughter, you should find Song Yuan in person!

Because after Wei Mengying's assassination, he kept his daughter, and when he went to the Song Mansion to visit, he heard the Lu family talk about the cause and effect - Lu Yicheng looked at the three young grandsons, and then looked at the grief-stricken daughter, and couldn't bear to say a word: "You didn't have the Song family to find ways to please her after leaving the cabinet, and if you take this opportunity to repeatedly remind Song Yuan of the existence of Princess Wei, maybe even if Song Yuan has been hating the mother and daughter, they haven't seen each other for a long time, and it will fade away?!" ”

After all, Wei Mengying's remarriage was more than ten years ago, she and Song Yuan have already married each other over the years, and they have children again, even if Yuan Xuepei pouts, if there is no Lu family's unconsciously frequent reminders of Song Yuan's past in recent years, how could Song Yuan be murderous?

In the end, his son is only one, and he is young, for the sake of Jiang Nantang's future, even if he didn't expect that he would die in the hands of Wei Mengying, he shouldn't take this risk!

In the eyes of a career-oriented person like Lu Yicheng, Song Yuan's son-in-law is simply a golden jade, blind with a good background and good talent, and the way to revitalize the family is in front of him, but he indulges in the love of his children!

I dragged down my daughter and grandchildren!

Fortunately, the Lu family's previous actions to curry favor with Song Yixiao, although they failed to make Song Yixiao and the Song family turn into a jade silk, but it also left a good impression on the lady of Yan Guo - it was after the Lu family assassinated Wei Mengying in the name of the old lady of the fake Tuo Pang, with the help of Yuan Xuepei, he was really confused!

It's just that Lu Yicheng was relieved easily, it's only been a few months?

Something happened to the family again!!

This time, the problem was with his eldest grandson, Lu Tingquan.

Lu Tingquan is the young man who spoke disrespectfully behind the filial piety curtain and was scolded by his parents when Song Yixiao and Jian Xubai went to mourn the Huang family - he was raised in front of the Huang family since he was a child, and he had a very deep relationship with his grandmother, so even if he knew that his grandmother's death was actually to blame, he couldn't help but anger Song Yixiao.

It's just that although his parents also mourned Huang's death, they were not confused and stopped him in time.

And no matter before or after Huang's death, Song Yixiao and the Lu family only had on-the-spot dealings, three or two years have passed, such a trivial matter, if no one mentions it, everyone will forget it.

"Although Tingquan has always disliked Mrs. Yan Guo, it is impossible for him to do such a poisonous thing." Lu Yicheng's eldest son, Lu Lubo, knelt on the ground to argue for his son, "What's more, Tingquan is a man, except for a few times before the age of seven when he entered the harem with his mother and met all his mothers, he didn't have the opportunity to enter the harem at any other time, but how could he buy the palace maid in front of the eldest princess?" Besides, the palace maid is not a fool - what is Tingquan's status? What is the status of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan? Why did she betray Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for Tingquan?! Isn't she going to die?! ”

At this time, Lu Tingquan had been escorted away, and the Lu family's courtyard was also surrounded by guards, although no one had rushed in to search and interrogate for the time being, but I also knew that if there was no accident, it would be sooner or later.

At the moment, the Lu family can only count on Lu Yicheng to make up his mind.

"Although what you said makes sense, now the palace maid has explained it all." Lu Yicheng looked at him and was silent for a long time before he said, "Although it is inconvenient for Tingquan to enter the palace, the palace maid named Xiyu is very popular with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan, so she can go out of the palace to visit her family every month. ”

In this way, Lu Tingquan could not enter the harem to contact her, but she could contact Lu Tingquan when she left the palace.

As for why Xiyu betrayed the eldest princess of the golden branches and jade leaves for Lu Tingquan, who was not a high-ranking and powerful person, "Xiyu said that Tingquan has made a private contract with her for life, and agreed that after Xiyu descends with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan, he will ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Yushan to reward her to Tingquan, so that she can stay together!" ”

There is a way to be a scholar's hesitation, which can still be said, and a woman's hesitation, which cannot be said.

Originally, Xiyu would listen to the words of Lu Tingquan, the grandson of an ordinary minister, which was very suspicious, but after adding the private relationship between men and women, it made perfect sense - especially Xiyu's master, the eldest princess of Yushan, is a master who can do almost anything for his sweetheart!

In order to please the lover, he falsely passed on the order of the eldest princess of Yushan, and instigated Lu Ningye, the small county lord of Yiwang, to poison Jian Qingyue, what is strange?

And how the eldest princess of Yushan and the little princess of Yiwang, as noble daughters who are served by a group of people everywhere, concealed everyone's ears and eyes, got smallpox powder, and found out the whereabouts of Song Yixiao's mother and daughter in time, there is also a reasonable explanation: Before Empress Wei recognized the two things that were given to the Huang family in Xiyu's hand, who would notice Lu Tingquan?

As the eldest grandson of the Lu family, although his status, qualifications, and talents, he can't get into the eyes of the nobles, but there are always some people under his hands who can be called, what is so difficult about getting some smallpox pox powder and keeping an eye on the people of the Yanguo Mansion in private?

What's more, before his death, the Huang family had distributed the makeup to the children and grandchildren, because Lu Tingquan was the eldest grandson and raised by her, so he received the most - the two pieces for Xiyu are among them!

"Dad, you also know that since my mother left, Tingquan has been depressed!" Lu Lubo listened to his father's words and knew that there was little hope, but out of love for his son, he still continued to beg, "I'm afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, so he put all those things on the shelf, if it weren't for the queen mother who recognized the objects in Xiyu this time, he wouldn't know that those two things were missing - this must be someone framing him, father!" That's the eldest grandson of our family! This time the matter is so big, if you don't help him, not only will he not survive, but our family will also ......."

"Why wouldn't I want to help my grandchildren?!" Lu Yicheng, who was thinking about it, laughed angrily, slapped the case heavily, and shouted, "This matter is a false accusation, so do you need to say it?!" Your sister played a trick just a few months ago - and now it seems that your mother's worries are not unreasonable! I knew that I also took a hand at the beginning, so that I could cut the grass and eradicate the roots!! ”

Lu Yicheng's eyes were full of anger, and Sen Ran looked in the direction of the Yanguo Mansion: he suspected that all this was Song Yixiao's conspiracy!

The reason is very simple, a few months ago, didn't the Lu family arrange for Mrs. Pang's mother-in-law to be around her, under the banner of Mrs. Pang, repeatedly taught the young Song Yijiao the words full of hatred for Wei Mengying and Song Yixiao, and shouted in front of everyone who went to mourn Mrs. Pang, and shouted that the whole city knew it, so that after Wei Mengying's death, even public opinion was overwhelming that Mrs. Pang was the culprit? !

How similar is Lu Tingquan's role to Song Yijiao at the beginning?

It's just that Lu Tingquan's anger and hatred come from the heart, but Song Yijiao is ignorant and coaxed - it is also a false accusation, and it is also taking advantage of the inappropriate behavior of the younger generation in the mourning hall, Lu Yicheng feels that this must be that Song Yixiao has already known the truth about Wei Mengying's death, and intends to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, so as to avenge his biological mother!

"Really when I'm a bully in the Lu family?!" Originally, although the Huang family was secretly given to death and his daughter became a widow again, Lu Yicheng had resentment and anger towards Song Yixiao, but he had no murderous intentions. This is also the reason why he did not approve of the Huang family's first move to eliminate Song Yixiao.

But now, even the second prince of Emperor Duanhua has contracted smallpox, if the Lu family is convicted of this crime, how can the family end well? !

Lu Yicheng is no longer willing to rashly provoke a strong enemy, how can he not fight to the death?!

He held his long beard, and in a pair of eagle eyes, the cold light flickered, and his mind was racing.
