Chapter 23, the rotation of the scholar clan for a hundred years

The deep clothes on Xu is body were too ill-fitting, Lu Zhaoyi felt itchy all over, so he said to Qu Qiniang, "I'll go to the backyard to change my clothes first." You and the Shadow Guards are here to entertain the guests. With that, he turned and left.

Qu Qiniang's face was slightly stunned, looking at the people in the house.

If you want to talk about good hospitality, it is true that they are all sitting in the hall, but if it is said that there is a disadvantage, the shadow spirit knife is indeed on the neck of Old Taijun Lu.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhaoyi changed into a light green dress, dignified and elegant, and after returning to the hall, she was also a good place to enjoy tea and enjoy the scenery, which was so moisturizing.

While sipping tea, she looked at the room full of people, and her face showed a hint of joy.

This time, all the ruthless characters of the inner house were present.

"Mother, when did you come?"

The knife was on Old Taijun Lu's neck, and he didn't dare to speak.

And Li Yuan, who was beside her, knelt and climbed dozens of steps and came to Lu Zhaoyi, "Qi Niang, the old lady learned that you were rewarded by His Majesty with a mansion, and it just so happened that the old lady was also in Luojing, so come and see!" ”

After listening to her explanation, Lu Zhaoyi pretended to have a look of sudden realization, raised his head and pointed at the shadow spirit, "I don't believe her words, you come along!" ”

When the shadow spirit was ordered, he told all the events of the morning.

It turned out that after she left the court, a group of women and children suddenly broke into the mansion, and when the shadow guard asked several times, she knew that it was the old lady of the Lu family who came here.

It was no big deal, and the shadow guard didn't take it seriously.

But Li Yuan, who was beside the old lady, had a high-spirited demeanor, pointing fingers at the shadow guard, claiming that even Lu Qiniang would give her three points of thin noodles here.

Between the words, it was even hinted that Ying Wei was just relying on His Majesty's grace, and without His Majesty's support, she was not qualified to talk to them about conditions at all.

If you say this, if you put it aside on weekdays, the shadow guard may just turn a deaf ear, but it just so happens that today, Lu Qiniang went to the court and had no scruples.

In this case, the shadow guards immediately drew their knives and tried to send them out.

After Ying Ling roughly finished speaking, he was also indignant for Lu Zhaoyi, "Qi Niang, they are really excessive, this Li Yuan is also bold and reckless, spreading Qi Niang's unfavorable words outside the mansion." That's why he made this decision and detained them in the house. ”

Looking at Old Taijun Lu and Li Yuan again, Lu Zhaoyi sneered, "I want to ask the eldest mother, Qi Niang and you, didn't you break off your relationship a long time ago, why did you come to the door?" ”

"Not bad! When you were kicked out of the Lu family, you really complained about me. But the blood is close to each other, so it can't be broken, right? I'm your eldest mother, I want to see my granddaughter, what's the problem? ”

Mrs. Lu's ability to use strong words has always been like this.

Suddenly, Lu Zhaoyi opened her lips and teeth, her laughter was sharp, and there was a faint cold chill, which made Lu Lao Taijun and Li Yuan break out in a cold sweat.

"What a blood relative." She stood up from the banquet with a cold gaze, "It seems that the Lu family's family roster is in the hands of you, a member of the Cui family." You are the one who says yes, and you are the one who says no. ”

"Lu Zhaoyi!" Li Yuan scolded loudly, this is also the first time in three years that someone has called her by her name.

"How did you talk to the old lady? If you are disobedient and unfilial, it will reach the ears of Your Majesty, and you will be convicted of disobedience. ”

However, she ignored this threat, and if she explained to her, this dynasty is not filial piety, but a nine-grade selection of talents, and it is just playing the piano to the cow.

"The former Lu family, a big clan in Hebei, has long since declined, is it still rare for me, a concubine?"

She sneered and continued, "It's the eldest mother's family, which has gradually prospered in Qinghe County in recent years, why don't you go back to the Cui family too?" Just in time, a thriving family may become a famous family in the future. Don't forget your granddaughter's introduction. ”

This time, Mrs. Lu's face was flushed, and she was really dizzy with anger, "You, you unfilial daughter, are rebellious." I will tell Cui Shizhong and let him participate in your copy in the court. ”

The Cui servant in her mouth is her nephew, who is now the head of the Cui family, and also has some say in the court, and even the daughter of the servant has the faint possibility of becoming the princess of King Han.

She is indeed right, the Cui family is developing and growing, and he may be able to become an indispensable family in Hebei one day.

"See! I'm going to visit Cui Shizhong. If I were a disciple of Gou Chen, would you think he would help you, or help me? Her eyes were sharp, but her heart was thoughtful.

With the growth of the Cui family, the Lu family, which also originated in Hebei, will naturally continue to decline, which can be regarded as a blow to the Lu family.

For all this, she will not stop or intervene, quietly watching the Lu family, disappearing in the iteration of the big clan.

Thinking of this, she was a little expectant.

"You're really enough, Lu Zhaoyi, are you still not the Lu family? So looking forward to the end of the Lu family, right? Mrs. Lu was extremely angry, and stretched out a trembling finger to her.

And beside her, Li Yuan also looked like she was crying bitterly.

In terms of wrists, Lu Zhaoyi is stronger than all the men in the Lu family; In terms of resourcefulness, it is unparalleled; But in terms of feelings, she is more indifferent than anyone else.

Once, in front of her was her most beloved grandmother, and in the Lu family, there was her most trusted sister-in-law and the most relied on eldest brother.

But three years ago, how these people ruined her longing for family affection little by little, and how they pushed her into a hell from which she will never recover.

She slowly closed her eyes, and her tone became a little soft, "Shadow Spirit, send them away!" They are not allowed to set foot in this mansion without my orders. ”

"Yes."

The Shadow replied loudly.

Just as he was sending them away, Lu Zhaoyi waved his sleeves and watched them go away.

Maybe once, she thought of all means of revenge, or she was pure in nature, and at the last moment, she actually let go.

Back in the inner courtyard, she hurriedly summoned Ying Xue and asked about something.

"Xiaoman went to Da Sima Mansion yesterday and hasn't come back yet?"

"I'm back, I'm asleep in the backyard!"

"Then he, did he bring back any news?" Lu Zhaoyi asked with a sigh of relief.

Ying Xue bowed her head and said bluntly, "According to Da Sima, he locked Zhou Yi in Tingwei Prison, Prison No. 1, under the care of His Majesty's personal guards, and no one was allowed to enter. ”

"It seems that if you want to see Zhou Yi, you have to beg Your Majesty." She sighed.

"Sir, I beg your pardon for speaking out." Ying Xue straightened her voice, "Your Majesty is afraid that you will not let you see Zhou Yi." But there was only one clue in Lu Taishou's case back then. ”

Yes!

After three years of secret investigations, they have excluded many people.

Lu Yong's death was not instigated by Lu Huaide, nor was it done by the Yongzhou pastor, nor was it harmed by Jing Guo at that time.

Then there is only one possibility, Lu Yong, who was killed by the Zhou family.

However, it is still just a guess.

In her trance, Ying Xue said from behind her, "Sir, if you want to see Zhou Yi, you must first completely gain Your Majesty's trust." And His Majesty won't kill him for the time being, maybe there's still a chance? ”

Lu Zhaoyi also agrees with this.

Only by completely gaining Xia Pei's trust can she have the opportunity to go to prison to question Zhou Yi in person.

……

The next day, when Lu Zhaoyi was about to go out, he saw Gu Man in a hurry and ran back from outside the house.

"Xiaoman, what happened? Why is it so gaffe? She couldn't help but ask.

The next moment, Gu Man ran all the way over, panting, "Qi Niang, it's the Lu family here." ”

As soon as she heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she waved her sleeves sideways, "Didn't I say that anyone from the Lu family will not be allowed to enter?" ”

"No, no!" Gu Man gasped again and again before he could say a complete sentence.

"Qi Niang, listen to me, it was Master Lu who brought the bride here, and outside the door, the shadow spirit was not allowed to enter...... Hey, hey, Qi Niang ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoyi heard the three words of Master Lu's book, and in a panic, he went out of the house to greet him.

Naturally, Gu Man also wanted to follow the past.

As soon as she walked out of the gate, she saw Lu Chengren and Lou Wanqing, holding hands, and appeared in front of her, their faces were not very good, as if they had been wronged.

"Seventh sister!" As soon as she left the house, she saw Lu Chengren hurriedly stepped forward, looking at the posture, as if she had something to ask for.

"Last night, my husband and wife were kicked out of the Lu house by my eldest mother. Say...... If Ren wants to go back, he must first obtain the forgiveness of the seventh sister. Otherwise, benevolence and the bride will never go back! ”

Lu Zhaoyi was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the eldest mother would do such a great job.

Seeing that Lou Wanqing was still pregnant and standing in front of the door for a long time, it was indeed inappropriate, so he instructed Ying Ling to quickly take her into the house first and arrange a good place.

On the side, Qu Qiniang watched coldly, and it was not until Lu Chengren and Lu Zhaoyi returned home successively that she showed something, and her eyes were faintly cold.
