Chapter 128: Judgment
Zining is Lu Zhaoan's character, he is a father in the end, and it is a lifelong event related to his daughter, so he can't be prevented from being present. When Hu Shi heard this, he only said, "It should be coming soon!" ”
She hopes that her husband can come, but she is afraid that he will come, Lu Zhaoan is different from her, she will not blindly protect her daughter, she is afraid that her husband will sacrifice her daughter's life for her official reputation and family reputation.
Looking at Zhu Changrong who looked like he didn't care about himself, the Hu family couldn't wait to tear him up, but when he thought of this person's identity, he still didn't have the courage to do so.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhaoan heard the news, and when he saw the chaos in the room, he first wrinkled his brows, and asked his grandmother for peace first, and then asked, "What happened here?" ”
Hu Shi wanted to speak and stopped, timid, not knowing how to answer, Lu Jiaojiao could only cry again. Or the old lady spoke first, and said, "Your good daughter, this time it's really embarrassing, how long has it been for that matter?" It was ...... again."
She glanced at Zhu Changrong, who was sitting next to her, Lu Zhaoan only discovered this very discordant person at this time, and then looked at her daughter's miserable appearance of crying, and guessed in her heart, a wave of shame and anger rose from the bottom of her heart, he had a gloomy face, raised his feet, and kicked Lu Jiaojiao fiercely.
Everyone didn't react, and Lu Jiaojiao was kicked and turned over, lying on the ground, holding her stomach and crying. After recovering from the shock, Hu Shi couldn't care much more, and pounced on Lu Jiaojiao, held her tightly in his arms, and cried bitterly: "Husband, what are you doing, Jiaojiao is a thousand mistakes, and she is also your daughter in the end!" ”
The Lu family was also very unbearable, and persuaded: "Second brother, at this time, it is better to take care of this matter first!" ”
Lu Zhaoan looked at the daughter who was not successful, and he wished that she was dead, what happened last time was enough to make him lose face, and today he made his face be trampled on the ground fiercely, he worked hard to plan and tried his courage for so many years, is it because of a daughter, will it be ruined?
He was disgusted with the Hu family, this woman couldn't help herself, she couldn't even manage her daughter, and it was useless to raise a son, she only knew how to fight and kill, cause trouble, and be famous for her life, how did she give birth to such a pair of children?
He turned to the old lady and knelt down on one knee, and said with a bitter face: "Mother, the son has no face to continue to meddle in this matter, everything depends on the mother, the son can't even raise his own children well, it's really in vain for the descendants of the Lu family!" ”
Mrs. Lu didn't expect Lu Zhaoan to give her such an answer, the kick he just now didn't seem to kick Lu Jiaojiao's body, but kicked into her heart. It's not that I feel sorry for Lu Jiaojiao, but I am shocked by this concubine who has been a little low, what kind of hard heart is buried in his skin?
The kick was hard enough, Lu Jiaojiao was still out of breath at this time, even the whites of her eyes were turned over, and the corners of her mouth were even bloodshot.
After so many years, she still hasn't seen clearly what this concubine's heart is. He has always been cautious in front of himself, respectful, filial, never disobedient, and sometimes even cautious.
Old Madam Lu looked at him for a long time before she spoke: "As her father, you should still have your own ideas, things have happened, even if you kill her, it will be irreparable, now that Zhu Gongzi is here, you might as well ask him what his plans are!" ”
Lu Zhaoan is unwilling to participate in this matter, no matter how he deals with it, it is extremely faceless, and he doesn't look down on this so-called "Uncle Guo" at all, and talking to him will inevitably hurt his dignity.
But when the old lady spoke, he had no reason to shirk, so he had to bite the bullet, sat aside, and looked at Zhu Changrong, with full disdain and contempt in his eyes, but for the sake of the uncompetitive daughter, he still spoke first: "Master Zhu, you should give my Lu family an explanation for this matter, right?" ”
Zhu Changrong didn't take Lu Zhaoan, the newly appointed Imperial Historian, in his eyes, although he was the emperor's favorite minister, but compared to his sister's favorite concubine, he was still a few grades behind.
So he said unhurriedly: "Lord Lu, when it comes to this matter, I still have to ask you for an explanation!" ”
Lu Zhaoan was dizzy by what he said, and he almost couldn't suppress his temper, but in the end, he still held his mind and forced himself to ask, "Why did Zhu Gongzi say this?" ”
"Then I have to ask Lord Lu's good daughter!" Zhu Changrong said mockingly, and looked at Lu Jiaojiao with contempt in his eyes, as if it was a lowly fireworks woman.
In Lu Zhaoan's eyes, it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, he couldn't wait to go up and slap Zhu Changrong fiercely, he was a shameless embryo, he dared to despise his daughter so much, in the final analysis, he still despised himself.
Lu Zhaoan's self-esteem is almost inferior, and he can't tolerate others not to take him in his eyes, but he can't look down on a pickled person who dares to despise him, which touches Lu Zhaoan's most sensitive nerve.
The anger he tried his best to suppress, a fire ignited in his eyes, staring at Zhu Changrong and looking so gloomy, that Zhu Changrong, who had always been fearless, couldn't help but shrink a little, and his arrogance decreased a lot, but he still turned his head disdainfully.
Lu Zhaoan asked in a cold voice: "You are in my Lu family, ruining my daughter's innocence, and even saying wildly, even if your father is here, I am afraid that I will not dare to be so rude to my Lu family, don't be too rampant!" ”
Zhu Changrong saw that he was angry, but he completely lost the fear just now, sneered, and said: "Lord Lu, you have to be reasonable, it was your daughter who attracted me by herself, otherwise how could I find such a secluded courtyard?" Ay...... In the end, Miss Lu deliberately framed me and tried to force me to marry her! ”
Zhu Changrong said it rightly, but Lu Jiaojiao was kicked so hard that she couldn't even say anything to refute, so she could only cry silently.
Hu Shi couldn't hold back any longer, pinched his throat and scolded: "You are talking nonsense, there is still no humanity, whether you have a conscience, you ruined my daughter's life, I want you to pay for your life!" ”
As she spoke, she rushed over like crazy, and she couldn't care much anymore, she just wanted to tear this shameless person apart, her Jiaojiao was ruined like this, and she had to bear the reputation of debauchery, so how could she bear it?
Not to mention the Hu family, even Mrs. Lu gasped angrily, slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "Master Zhu, the old body doesn't want to say anything to your junior, but please ask your father to come, this matter can't be good, my daughter of the Lu family, I can't tolerate being bullied!" ”
Lu Zhaoan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the old lady came forward in the matter, he didn't need to worry about it anymore, anyway, the old lady wouldn't let this daughter affect her, as for what happened to Lu Jiaojiao, it was not within his consideration.
If Hu and Lu Jiaojiao knew Lu Zhaoan's heart, they were afraid that they would vomit blood in anger, right? It's a pity that Lu Zhaoan is similar to the Lu family, they are both very good at disguise, and they won't let their true thoughts leak out at all.
Zhu Changrong looked at the old lady who was already angry, and he was a little worried, he had heard of this old lady's "great achievements" before, she was called the "Iron Lady" when she was young, and even the emperor was quite jealous of her temper. And her identity makes people dare not touch her, this is the daughter of the Xie family, one of the major families of Tianyuan, and her mother is the sister of the first emperor, the current holy imperial aunt, the eldest princess of Yongning.
The eldest princess of Yongning is not only a princess, but one of the greatest contributors to the emperor's ascension to the throne.
But the eldest princess of Yongning is not greedy for power, after the emperor ascended the throne, she married the second son of the Xie family, and since then she has only focused on her husband and children, and the strangest thing is that she refused the emperor's title and reward, and even her own children are unwilling to ask for fiefs and titles.
So now, Mrs. Lu is just because of the old man, and she has been named a first-class lady, but she does not have the title of county lord. But even so, no one dared to despise her, and even the emperor gave her three points of courtesy.
Although her sister is a favorite concubine, she didn't dare to really brush the tiger's whiskers, so she had to obediently obey and said to the old lady: "The old lady is angry, and the younger generation is rude to Haihan, so I will notify the family to notify my father to come over!" ”
Seeing that he was still an acquaintance, the old lady snorted coldly and did not continue to make trouble, Zhu Changrong hurriedly retreated, and beckoned the people he brought to hurry up and invite the old man at home.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get out of the Lu Mansion today, thinking about it, it would be very worthless to provoke the old lady who dared to argue with the emperor for this Lu Jiaojiao.
Lu Zhaoan saw that the people had left, so he glared at the daughter who only knew how to cry viciously, and said: "After today, don't tell people that you are my Lu Zhaoan's daughter, and my reputation will be ruined in your hands!" ”
Lu Jiaojiao trembled in horror, looking at her mother, seeking the last refuge, Hu Shi still couldn't bear to watch her daughter suffer, and hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Old lady, you have also hurt Jiaojiao for so many years, although she is now confused, but in the end she is also the daughter of the Lu family, can you not watch her enter the wolf den, the daughter-in-law would rather raise Jiaojiao for the rest of her life than let her marry the Zhu family's inferior embryo!" ”
It takes a lot of courage to say such things as a mother. Even if Tian Yuan is so open, if a woman does not marry for life, it will become a big joke, and a generational family like the Lu family cannot tolerate such a thing.
Old Madam Lu looked at the appearance of the Hu family, sighed, and said, "Even if you leave her by your side, will you be able to settle this matter?" You can manage her for a while, how can you manage her for a lifetime? ”
Hu Shi cried miserably, but she didn't know how to answer, she always had to die of old age, Jiaojiao didn't marry, and stayed in the Lu family, whether it was a blessing or a curse, she couldn't say.
"Even if Jiaojiao never marries, I will raise her for the rest of my life!" The sound of the urn sounded outside the door, and everyone followed the voice, only to see a sturdy and tall figure appear at the door.
