46. Grandparents settle accounts
"Hongbai?" Lu Shi looked at the tall man at the door in a daze, and before he could see his expression clearly, his hand was burned by the hot bird's nest and there was a sharp pain.
"Whew-"
Lu let out a scream.
Mama Sun hurriedly went up to wipe her hands, with an affectionate anger in her mouth, "Uncle is not too young, why are you still so reckless, beware of the old lady." β
She is an old man in the house, and she is the most trusted person in the Lu family, she has watched Jun Hongbai grow up since she was a child, and she feels that her affection for him is extraordinary, and she inevitably speaks casually.
shouldn't have done anything, who expected Jun Hongbai to hear this, and said bluntly and coldly to her: "How can the master do things with you to interject and talk indiscriminately, talk about the master at will, and slap your mouth!" β
There was silence in the room.
"Hongbai, aren't you crazy about drinking? This is Mama Sun, not those little maids around you who kill and sell casually! β
The appearance of Maple Leaf violently crashing into the pillar and dying came to mind, thinking of the possible means behind it, Jun Hongbai's heart was both angry and painful, and his tone was even more angry:
"Mama Sun can't kill and sell at will, so other people are not human, so they can be killed at will?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu didn't care about the pain in his hands, and glanced at Grandma Sun.
I didn't want this glance to anger Jun Hongbai even more.
"What does Grandmother want to ask Grandma Sun to do? To instigate the little maid to harm others? To harm Shen Qingluan? It's still a harm to Wen Niang, or one day, my grandmother will look at me unpleasantly, and she will poison me to death! β
These words are not an exaggeration to say that they shocked the Lu family's soul away!
"Click-"
The porcelain bowl in his hand fell to the ground, but Lu Shi didn't care about it, and only hissed in horror:
"What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of harm to people, what little girl, where did you come to ask your own grandmother by hearsay, is it Shen Qingluan? Is she sowing discord in front of you!
Come on, come on! Call Shen Qingluan over, I want to see how this housewife behaves, and she actually thinks of such a dirty method to frame the elders! β
Under the extreme panic, the Lu clan had long forgotten what calmness, strategy, and benevolence, and just shouted towards the door in a panic.
Du Wenniang's importance to Jun Hongbai is well known to everyone in the entire Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
But looking at the previous time when the Lu family was exposed and used Du Wenniang's dowry, it can be seen that he had to sing and recite before he could barely reveal the matter.
Now, this is not a dowry or a dead thing, but a human life!
Does the Lu family dare to carry the matter of killing Du Wenniang on his body? Throw this burden out, throw it out, throw it out!
It doesn't matter if it's Shen Qingluan or someone else, it must not be herself!
"What does it have to do with Shen Qingluan!"
Jun Hongbai looked at Lu's back silently, his fists clenched and the green tendons that sprouted inch by inch.
If Lu Shiken looked back at her grandson, he would definitely find that Jun Hongbai was not only angry at this moment, but also disappointed.
"When Wen Niang died, Shen Qingluan hadn't married in, not to mention, she was driven back to her parents' house by her grandmother now, what else could she do?"
All the shouts of the Lu family were so funny stuck in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
She didn't dare to look back, so she missed the complex and intertwined emotions in Jun Hongbai's eyes.
"Grandmother, grandson just wants to hear the truth today." Jun Hongbai slowly walked behind the Lu family.
"Did grandmother do anything to Wen Niang?"
The deep, painful sound was like a sharp stone striking Lu Shi's heart one by one.
Do you have?
All kinds of thoughts were intertwined in Lu's mind, and she stood trembling and standing still, only to feel a pain in her brain.
"Nope." After she subconsciously said these two words, she immediately regretted it.
In fact, killing Du Wenniang is not a big deal, but now she doesn't admit it, but she has fallen behind.
If you admit it, let's talk about the bitterness, Junhong's white ears are soft, even if you are angry, it is only for a while.
But Jun Hongbai didn't give her a chance to regret it, and her voice was so deep that it was almost frozen: "No? Does grandmother dare to swear to God? β
Lu's eyelids jumped, he lowered his head to avoid Jun Hongbai's gaze, and said vaguely: "What don't you dare to do, I swearββ"
"Grandmother swears with my life."
"What...... What? Lu Shi was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Jun Hongbai took two steps forward and approached her, looking directly at her with swarthy eyes:
"Grandmother swears with her grandson's life, if grandmother secretly harms Wen Niang and Qingluan, she will ask her grandson to strike five thunderbolts every day, and there will be no corpse."
The last sentence, he read word by word, and read it very seriously......
Lu suddenly jumped in shock.
Jun Hongbai's appearance, he has never seen it.
Like a leopard out of control, like a wolf at the end of his rope.
"Grandmother, do you dare to swear?" Jun Hongbai's tone was quiet, as if he was not speaking, but eating human flesh and drinking human blood one bite at a time.
The courage and determination of the Lu family all over his body were all leaked out under this look.
She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
Jun Hongbai has already determined what she has done at this moment, and if she quibbles, she will not care about the safety of this only grandson.
Even if she didn't have the obvious accusation in the end, she must be completely regarded as the ruthless villain in her heart.
But if she admits it......
Lu Shi felt a chill in his heart
Admit that she hurt Du Wenniang?
No, no, she must not admit it!
To what extent does Jun Hongbai have a deep heart for Du Wenniang?
Back then, Du Wenniang just shouted that she was tired, and Jun Hongbai left the seriously ill Lu's Baba and ran to Du Wenniang to take care of her.
She always remembered Du Wenniang's uncontrollable pride in Jun Hongbai's eyes, and just one glance made the Lu family determined to get rid of her.
Damn, why didn't she die cleanly, robbed her good grandson with her before she died, and provoked the relationship between her and her grandson after death!
Slut, slut, slut!
Although he thought about it a lot, in fact, only a moment passed, and Lu made a decision.
She pushed Jun Hongbai away, and her wrinkled face was full of bluff anger:
"I swear, why do I swear! Why should I swear by something I haven't done! Hongbai, who is your closest person in this Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and who is really planning for you, don't you know!
Du Wenniang is your wife, but she is stubbornly holding on to the dowry and refuses to help you pave the way, causing you to waste five years! Shen Qingluan is your wife, but she guards the Shen family's family background and refuses to help you, and even has no respect for me. β
She didn't know how to look in the mirror herself, and every wrinkle on her face was filled with weakness and fierceness.
"You have two wives, which one is like me who wholeheartedly plans for you, for you, I even gave up my face not to borrow money from my mother's family, over the years, I don't follow what you want, in exchange for you being so disobedient to me!
Do you know that now that Jun Chengsong is back, he looks at our ancestors and grandchildren the most unpleasantly, what are you making this call for, in order to send the handle to him, and let him hold our ancestors and grandchildren to death! β
After speaking, Jun Hongbai was silent, and there was silence in the room.
Only the heavy choked sobs of the Lu clan remained.
She was waiting, waiting for Jun Hongbai to compromise.
After all, in the past, this was very good.
Jun Hongbai's temperament inherited the Lu family's nine points, and he is the most famous and profit-seeking.
For the sake of interests, he was willing to let go of the Lu family's private embezzlement of Du Wenniang's dowry, and he was also willing to bow his head against his will to Shen Qingluan.
This will temporarily put Du Wenniang's mortal enmity on hold for the sake of profit, and it is not impossible to think about it.
She made a good calculation, but ignored the look of pathos and hatred in Jun Hongbai's eyes.
It was not for Du Wenniang's death, but he clearly knew that his heart was indeed shaken by Lu's words.
At a moment, he really wanted to bow his head and expose this matter.
It was precisely this slightest wavering that made him realize what a despicable person he was.
He prides himself on being a gentleman who is self-denying and courteous, an upright, benevolent, responsible and responsible man.
The truth gave him a hard slap in the face.
He is indeed chasing fame and fortune, and he is indeed selfish and shallow, and even his own grandmother sees him so thoroughly.
Inexplicably, Shen Qingluan's sneering and mocking eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.
It turned out that her contempt, her contempt, and her condescension did not come from her arrogance, not from her conceited and trapped Shen surname, but from her heart.
With her integrity, nobility, pride, and perseverance, she was indeed entitled to look down on him.
At this moment, Jun Hongbai seemed to have been raised by some beast's hoof, and his face was full of inferiority that was low to the dust.
What made him feel inferior was that even if he could see it clearly in his heart, he still couldn't tear his face with the Lu family, and he couldn't seek justice for Du Wenniang as he imagined.
The anger and anger that came when it came, it would be like a joke, and it would be gone.
Lu didn't know how uncomfortable he felt in his heart, and seeing that his face gradually calmed down, he thought that he was moved by what he said when he found out that he had embezzled the dowry before.
I was relieved at the moment, and tears flowed from my eyes, but I don't know if this tear is more repentance, or more fear and relief.
"Good grandson," Lu stepped forward to grab Jun Hongbai's hand, "Now that you have grown up, you should know that this world is not black and white, but there are many gray areas.
Grandmother is not a famous and noble girl like Shen Qingluan, nor does she have a wealthy family background like Du Wenniang, grandmother is a peasant girl, she can come to this day and earn these futures for you and your father, relying on the tricks I came up with myself. β
Speaking of this, Lu couldn't help but move his true feelings, and his hands were even harder.
"Grandmother may have done something wrong, but only one thing, I did ten things, and ten things were for you, for the two juniors of Yuan'er and Qian'er.
Hongbai, we are a family! β
Family!
These three words are like a tight mantra, and the hoop makes Jun Hong's white temples hunt and hurt.
In the years he grew up, Lu has always had a loving, kind, and kind face.
So every time Du Wenniang said that the Lu family was vicious and had trouble with him, Jun Hongbai always didn't take it to heart.
Then, when Shen Qingluan was replaced, he had no pity for Shen Qingluan, and he was even more negligent to her.
Every time the Lu family was in trouble, he had to stand on the Lu family's side and force Shen Qingluan to admit his mistake and bow his head.
But these days, Lu slowly unveiled the hypocritical mask on her face, revealing her vicious inside.
