Until now, she still hasn't told the truth.

Lu Xiu was really angry.

He took a step forward, raised his hand and slapped him hard.

Ever since Chunlian came into his room as his concubine, he had given her enough face for the sake of his former friend's instructions before his death.

Even more decent than his wife.

In the past, let alone beating, I rarely even said a harsh word.

It's not that he doesn't know the twists and turns in this woman's heart, it's just that he thinks it's all internal disputes.

The little verbal quarrels did not harm anyone, and he was willing to give his deceased friend some face.

However, today he was really angry.

It is almost certain that the Lu family will settle in the capital in the future.

The Imperial City of Dongzhou is not as good as the small town of Jiangdong where the Lu family is located. Over there, the Lu family is considered prestigious and can still control some things.

But the capital city is not only filled with powerful people, but there are also people with status everywhere. Even some people who don't look very good may have a network of connections behind them that is no less than that of the Lu family.

When Zhang Chunlian first arrived in the capital, she couldn't recognize her identity.

A businessman's concubine actually dared to openly plot against the country king, and she was still in his house.

With such boldness and arrogance, if she waits to settle in the capital in the future, wouldn't she dare to plot against those princes and grandsons?

"You bastard, where are you?"

"Yao Yao is now the Lord of Wanfu Township, personally granted by His Majesty. Although he has a lower-ranking title, he enjoys privileges that even the county lord and princess have never received."

"What is your identity?"

Lu Xiu's face was gloomy, and the cold light in his eyes made Zhang Chunlian's heart feel cold.

This is the first time in so many years that I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid.

In fact, as early as when Lu Yaoyao was in the yard, she had already discovered that Lu Yaoyao's status in the hearts of everyone in the Lu family was extraordinary.

She was also afraid at the time, but when she followed Lu Xiu back to her yard, she immediately put these fears behind her.

I think Lu Xiu will still be like what he did in Jiangdong. Every time he was stern in front of outsiders, he would comfort and explain softly when he returned to the house.

So, she still used the same old routine.

Anyway, no matter what she said, Lu Xiu always believed her.

However, this time Lu Xiu not only didn't believe it, he actually hit her, and now he said such words that hurt her heart.

Zhang Chunlian covered her face and burst into tears.

"Yes, I am just a concubine in my husband's yard, with a humble status."

"But what about her?"

"You think you are superior to others if you have great luck and receive a reward from the emperor?"

"She's just a bastard whose father doesn't even know who she is."

"If it hadn't been for the Lu family these years, she might have been sold to Goulan Courtyard by her stepmother."

Snapped!

Lu Xiu raised his hand and slapped him again.

"What did you say?"

"What do you know?"

At this time, Lu Xiu's face looked very scary, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Sensing this cold murderous intention, the anger in Zhang Chunlian's heart was like being poured out by a basin of cold water.

He also realized that he had said the wrong thing, his eyes flashed with panic, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"No, I didn't say anything?"

"I don't. I'm just confused because I'm so angry that I don't know what to say."

Lu Xiu stared at her coldly for a while.

"It's best that this is the case. You'd better let my words rot in my stomach today. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our old feelings."

"Yes, yes, I didn't say anything."

Zhang Chunlian repeatedly promised.

"Humph, from today on, you will stay in this courtyard. You cannot step out of the courtyard without my permission, otherwise I will immediately send you back to Jiangdong."

After that, he immediately walked away.

Zhang Chunlian, who was left behind, quickly wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief.

Dinner time.

Lu Yaoyao still told Qiu Shuang to let Baizhenlou prepare good meals, and then asked his servants to treat everyone in the Lu family to a meal.

Not long after, everyone came to the dining room one after another.

"Uncle, why haven't you seen Mrs. Zhang and Cousin Lan?"

Hearing her question, Lu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I asked them to stay in the yard, and Yao Yao ignored them."

"That's it again."

Mrs. Zhao curled her lips.

My husband was extremely tolerant towards Zhang Chunlian and her two sons.

This incident, which happened in the capital, is still related to Lu Yaoyao.

If this were in Jiangdong, or if it were another person, Zhang Chunlian and the three of them would only be talked about lightly.

However, how unpleasant were the words of Zhang Chunlian and the others today?

Lu Yaoyao is no longer what he used to be. Even leaving aside his status as a rural gentleman, he is still the old man's best friend.

As a result, Zhang Chunlian and the other three were merely grounded for being offended by such a collision.

What kind of punishment is this?

Not only was Zhao dissatisfied, but Mr. Lu, who had just been helped by Lu Yaoyao to sit on the throne, was also frowning.

The look he looked at Lu Xiu was full of displeasure.

"Yaoyao, what do you ask people like this to do? Your uncle can be patient. He will take good care of himself, so we don't need to worry about him."

Listening to the old man's sarcastic words, Lu Xiu felt helpless.

The second uncle and his wife Yuanshi next to him, as well as Lu Yaoyao's cousins, obviously all knew about what happened this morning.

None of them had any words, but they all looked unhappy.

Especially Lu Mingxi's brother and sister. Although they are the direct children of the first wife in recent years, they have been suppressed and bullied by Zhang Chunlian's two children at home.

I never thought that they would be so brave, and they would dare to be so arrogant when they arrived in the capital and at their cousin's mansion.

"Qiu Yu, you'd better go and explain and have someone bring them some food."

Hearing this, Qiu Yu curled her lips and left the dining room reluctantly.

"Yao Yao, I will apologize to you for what happened today. I will definitely discipline you in the future and never let this happen again."

Lu Xiu spoke very sincerely, and even after finishing speaking, he bowed to Lu Yaoyao.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao quickly stepped away.

"Uncle, what are you doing? I am a junior and I cannot afford this gift from you."

"Besides, as I said earlier, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Humph, you should apologize. They became like this because of your connivance."

"I didn't care about it in Jiangdong before, but I still dare to be so arrogant outside."

Mr. Lu continued with a cold face, "This time I met Yao Yao. After all, the three of them are considered our Lu family, so Yao Yao didn't argue with them."

"If it were anyone else, even if they don't die today, they would have to shed a layer of skin, and even bring harm to the Lu family."

Hearing this, Lu Kang's brows furrowed even more.

During these years in Jiangdong, he often couldn't stand the bad things happening in his eldest brother's yard.

It's just that because of my status as a younger brother, it's really hard for me to talk about what's going on in my eldest brother's yard.
