Chapter 71: Falling into the Lake
When the carriage was getting farther and farther away from the city gate, Li Chengqian glanced at the city with all his senses.
The strength of the divine soul gives him an extremely keen spiritual sense.
He faintly sensed a malicious gaze there.
But after just one glance, he didn't pay any attention.
Since he grabbed Zhao Xun into Xiangfan, his whereabouts have been unabashedly exposed in front of people all over the world.
The various forces in Liyang, including the royal family, all have spies who are watching his every move.
This is not once or twice.
However, most of them just watched from afar, and did not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.
He didn't bother to go to the past and kill them one by one.
Not only was the effort in vain, but the people who killed them were insignificant to the forces behind the scenes.
Kill one batch, and naturally there will be the next batch.
And just when they entered this Yangchun City and headed towards the Lu family, the major families in Jiangnan located here also quickly got the news.
The heads of the various families who had been deliberating on this matter for many days finally chose to wait and see what happened.
In today's situation, doing nothing may be the best option.
Today, they naturally don't dare to offend, but with the support of Beiliang, they also don't dare to offend.
After all, I can't say that the person who will sit on the dragon chair in the future is this Seven Princes.
Even if it doesn't seem like a high probability, who would dare to gamble with a huge family background?
The reason why the family is a family is because no matter who the lord of the dynasty is, he needs to rely on their existence to govern the world.
So, they don't have what they call loyalty to today.
What's more, when today's son is old, he may not be able to hold the throne for long.
Placing a bet at this time is not worth the loss.
Since Tai'an City didn't say anything clearly, they were naturally happy to pretend to be stupid.
For the arrival of the Seven Princes, it is enough not to be close and not to offend.
At this time, they were all a little cold-eyed, waiting to see the meaning of the Lu family's joke.
The eldest woman who was marrying Ming Media was taken away by someone in a grand manner, which can be said to be a heavy blow to the reputation of the lintel of Lufu.
The Lu Mansion has occupied the title of the top of the Jiangnan literary circle for many years, and after today, it may change hands.
Many families with good backgrounds are gearing up and ready to move.
Don't look at it as just a name for the head of the literary world, but for a family, the value of this name is so great and its influence is immeasurable.
In Tai'an City, the reason why Lu Daolin, the head of the Lu family, was able to sit firmly in the position of Shangshu was not unrelated.
Even, many families have already sent people, just waiting for Li Chengqian to follow Xu Weixiong out of the Lu Mansion, and then they will publicize this matter.
Give the Lu family a heavy blow.
can't even keep his daughter-in-law, how can he be qualified to occupy the first place in the Jiangnan literary world?
Of course, among these rumors, they will deliberately weaken the presence of Li Chengqian, the seventh prince.
Although scholars have always advocated that the imperial power should not be feared, if the matter were to be publicized in the same way, it would also deal a blow to the prestige of the Lu Mansion.
But on the one hand, this matter involves the royal family, which is quite sensitive, and on the other hand, the Lu family is extremely famous after all, and in a sense, it can be said that it represents the entire Jiangnan literary circle.
deliberately promoting the Lu family's fear of imperial power will also affect the image of the entire Jiangnan literary circle.
Naturally, they understand the importance of the matter.
At the same time, in the Lu Mansion, Xu Zhihu was invited to come to the Humble Heart Garden and swim in the lake with her mother-in-law Xu.
I have to say that this humble garden is a place that has received six emperors after all, whether it is flowers, trees and stone tablets, or lakes and mountains, they are all unique.
The prosperity of the scenery is second to none in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the best in the garden.
Xu Zhihu and Xu Shi just toured the lake, talking occasionally, seemingly
It also complements each other.
It's just that Er Qiao, who has been following behind Xu Zhihu, was unknowingly squeezed into the distance by one of Xu's healthy servants.
By the lake, Xu suddenly asked, "Do you remember how many years you have been married to my Lu family?"
Xu Zhihu listened to this calm tone, and a chill surged inexplicably in his heart.
She shook her head slightly, "I don't remember."
Xu laughed, "I remember, five years and three hundred and twenty-one days."
Her smile gradually faded, and she stared at Xu Zhihu deadly: "Because my son left on the day you got married."
Xu Zhihu's heart tightened, and he looked at Xu's not bright eyes, full of hatred for her.
Xu Shi also did not hide his meaning, and said coldly: "You *** should have died a long time ago, but unfortunately, in the past, someone has been protecting you, and it is difficult to succeed several times, and now, you have no reason to be spared!"
She said with wicked resentment, "You were born to be my son's man, and you are my son's ghost to death.
Marrying a chicken with a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog is a truth that has not been easy since ancient times
I want to leave Lu Mansion for the rest of my life!"
Xu Zhihu's face changed: "You are really crazy, do you know how much disaster I will bring to Lu Mansion if I die in Lu Mansion?"
Xu Shi smiled and said, "You are weak, and you accidentally fell into the water and died when you were swimming in the lake, what does it have to do with the Lu family?"
Of course, after all, she is also from a big family, so she naturally knows that this matter may not be so simple.
But if she was able to endure it reluctantly in the past, when Xu Zhihu, the daughter-in-law, was about to be picked up and married someone else, how could she, who blamed Xu Zhihu for her son's death, endure it?
When the words fell, she said coldly, "Let's do it."
Hearing this, a servant who had been following her immediately walked towards Xu Zhihu with an expressionless face.
Xu Zhihu retreated step by step, but she had never practiced martial arts, and now she is seriously ill, where can she hide?
In the blink of an eye, she was thrust into the icy water.
Where can she stand the lack of qi and blood?
After just flapping and struggling a few times, he sank and stopped moving.
"Miss!"
Not far away, Er Qiao's eyes were red and she wanted to rush over to save Xu Zhihu, but she was easily grabbed by the healthy servant who separated her from Xu Zhihu before, and she couldn't struggle.
"You are murder, the second master will not let you go if he knows it!"
Xu Shi turned a deaf ear, just looked at the red shadow that gradually sank into the lake.
A happy smile gradually appeared on his face.
After a while, she glanced at Er Qiao, who was constantly struggling and crying, with disgust.
"Since you are so loyal, let's go to the bottom of the lake together and accompany your cheap master."
Hearing this, the servant who grabbed Er Qiao was ready to throw him into the lake without saying a word.
At this moment, a figure suddenly pounced and snatched Er Qiao from the man's hand.
He pushed Er Qiao into the distance and blocked in front of the healthy servant.
"Hurry up, go call someone, I'll help you hold them down!"
This person turned out to be the boy next to Lu Baijie!
Er Qiao's eyes were red, tears couldn't stop flowing, she took a deep look at the boy, then turned around and left, without dragging the mud and water.
