Chapter 117,
"Is this how you treat guests in your Lu family?" Mr. Yin looked angry, "I am just now and the Marquis of Nanyang, but you appear and take the person directly into the backyard. Why, I want to cover up so quickly?"
After he finished speaking, the Yanshi County Magistrate who was standing beside him could not help but lower his head and wiped his cold sweat, not daring to speak.
"Yes! This is how I, Lu Qiniang, am I, to treat guests." Lu Zhaoyi turned her head and looked indifferent, but had a cold light in her eyes. "Mr. Yin, in the battle of Jiangxia, you surrendered to the Jing State Navy at the time. Although Your Majesty did not mention this matter, it does not mean that the Qingzhou Army does not remember it. Besides, how our Lu family will treat guests will not bother you!"
After saying that, regardless of the shock of Yin Hou, he walked straight past him and towards the front hall.
At this moment, Hou Yin felt as if he was being slapped hard, and the scorching pain on his face was in danger, but he could not defend himself!
"Don't think that you are so arrogant because of your favor. I kindly remind you that you are a woman after all, so what if you become a powerful minister?"
"How is it, it's not your Mr. Yin's concern." Lu Zhaoyi turned around again, "Go back and discipline your ignorant son. My Lu family doesn't welcome people like you,"
"Come! Drive Marquis Yin out!"
She was not a servant of the Lu family, but a Shadow Guard and a Black Armored Cavalry. As a great weapon of the Great Abyss, even the Xia clan dared not resist them.z.br
What's more, just a little Yin Hou?
"Everyone, Qi Niang is for the female family, so it is not advisable to show up too much." Lu Zhaoyi glanced at everyone, with a cold expression. "Since you are here to pay your respects to my eldest father, please don't make noise and disturb my eldest father's mourning hall."
Everyone present nodded.
Back in the inner courtyard, the shadow guard put Lu Chengzhi in the snow and ice, leaving only a thin middle robe all over his body, trembling with cold, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the woman in front of him with hatred.
Lu Chengzhi's teeth were clattering because of the cold, and he kept trembling, his mouth was closed, and he gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word.
"You are very tough." Lu Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows and looked at the sky with a calm tone.
"Three brothers, everyone in the mansion knows, and I am afraid that my father will not last long, but you went down the mountain to Yanshi County and had a drunken night party with a group of friends, causing such a scandal. If you really don't want the reputation of the Lu family, I can let my brother drive you out of the mansion and live the life you should live."
At the end of her speech, her face darkened, her eyes sharp, and she stabbed Lu Chengzhi's cheek like a blade.
"I..." Lu Chengzhi's pupils shrank slightly. He was indeed looking for a prostitute's servant, but that young man was just his friend in Beijing.
"If you hang out with those people again, don't blame me for not being sympathetic to you and locking you up in the mansion." Lu Zhaoyi sneered, "It's not only you, but also the Lu family, who are all involved!"
This warning made Lu Chengzhi's body tremble. After a year, he did not dare to provoke her when he saw what his sister did.
"Seventh sister, can you let me go?" His thin body was bound by his hands and feet, and others felt a little reluctant to see him.
But if you want to completely save the Lu family's corrupt lintel, it will not work without some strong medicine.
"Let you go?" Lu Zhaoyi sneered.
She glanced at Yingxue beside her, "Look at him well, let him freeze here for a day, and send the third master to the ancestral hall at night, and think about it for three or five days to serve as a warning to you."
"Lu Zhaoyi, you can't treat me like this!" Lu Chengzhi spoke with difficulty, staring at her with fierce eyes, "You can't be so heartless... I want to see my eldest mother, I want to see my eldest mother!"
"If you don't want to repent, you will only rely on your elders whenever you encounter something!" Lu Zhaoyi smiled gently, but she didn't have any sympathy. "Don't forget that the Lu family is stamped in my hands, and it's useless to find anyone you want!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chengzhi's heart was silent.
Back in front of the coffin of the grandfather of the backyard, Lu Zhaoyi, who was about to watch tonight, had not yet waited for the night to come, her aunt, Lu Chengye and Lu Chengzhi's biological mother, came over to plead for mercy.
After sweeping away the arrogant arrogance of the past, my aunt was like a stray dog, crying and begging, and constantly kowtowing to Lu Zhaoyi.
"Seventh Lady"
, Aunt, please let our family go. My son is ignorant. I will apologize to you on his behalf. Please, spare him this time!"
It really happened that the feng shui changed. Back then, Lu Zhaoyi was driven out of the Lu family by her aunt and sister-in-law. They probably didn't expect that today would be there.
However, she had long since lost the idea of revenge and just responded in a faint way, "Auntie, come back! The mourning hall is cold and it is not advisable to stay for a long time."
"No, if you don't let Zhi'er go, I won't be able to kneel!"
"If my aunt doesn't leave, my elder brother will be anxious later. If you come here, you will still be angry." Lu Zhaoyi stared at the fire in front of her, without any expression.
Just so happened that when Lu Chengye heard the sound of the wind, he ran over immediately. Seeing Lu Zhaoyi and his mother, he was suddenly stunned.
"My mother, come back with me!"
He was about to reach out and pull his mother up, but he was pushed away and accused him sternly, "Why don't you, the eldest brother, persuade Qi Niang to bypass your younger brother? Is there anyone who is your elder brother like this?"
While accusing her, she cried bitterly.
Lu Chengye had no choice but to turn around and call the butler, and send his aunt back to the backyard.
When everyone left, the only two brothers and sisters were left in the mourning hall.
The Lu family's grandson Cui is old and cannot stay for a long time. The only one who can handle the funeral in the Lu family is this brother and sister.
"Brother, do you remember what I asked you after I came back and told you about Fu Changzhi? How about thinking about it?" Lu Zhaoyi was still expressionless.
When Lu Chengye heard this, his face changed unpredictably.
After a long time, he sighed, "Zhaoyi, do you really want to do this? If I really do this, it will damage your reputation!"
The flames were about to be extinguished in the brazier. At this time, Lu Zhaoyi slowly grabbed a handful of yellow yuan paper from the side and sent it into the brazier one by one. In an instant, the flames that were about to be extinct burned again.
The mourning hall, which was a little cold just now, gradually felt warm because of the fire in the brazier.
During this process, there was no change on her face, and others could not see what she was thinking in her heart.
"Zhaoyi?" Lu Chengye called out again.
After calming a little more, Lu Zhaoyi slowly looked up and smiled at the elder brother. His eyes were actually a firm and persistent appearance.
"Your Majesty's Wu Guanwei has been guarding outside the Marquis' Mansion for more than 20 days. If I want to leave Luojing and Sili, there is only one way. Brother, will you help me?" She asked word by word.
Lu Chengye was speechless for a moment, "I..." His expression was finally slightly moved by his sister's determination, and then he responded softly and nodded slightly.
"Thanks!"
Without too many words and just a few glances, the brother and sister reached a consensus and decided to support each other's choices.
However, Lu Chengye suddenly changed the subject and asked, "I remember when my father died, he held everyone away and said something to you! Did you tell you all about what he knew?"
Lu Zhaoyi nodded slightly.
"It is not convenient to investigate this matter in advance, and I am not convenient to tell you. If I come back from Jingzhao County this time, I will return with you... the Lu family's ancestral home!"
When she said this, she was about to talk about the place name, so she could be slow, because her after seeing the shadow of someone else outside the door.
"You don't have to do this. When my father is buried, I will go back to my ancestral home. You just need to tell me and I will take it for you!" Lu Chengye seemed to have not realized the seriousness of this matter.
"No need for brother!" Lu Zhaoyi looked up and smiled slightly at him, "You should know that this matter is related to an old matter, so I can't explain it in detail..."
She stopped and didn't continue to say it, but this sentence was enough to make Lu Chengye understand.
Before he finished speaking, a noise suddenly came from outside the door. In a flash, Song Yi, the deputy commander of the Black Armored Cavalry, came to report, "Report to Qi Niang, my subordinates just killed the eavesdropping person outside the door. It was the female maid who was stunned by Yingxue a few days ago!"
Lu Zhaoyi nodded slightly and ordered Song Yi to take the body to deal with it.
Song Yi answered neatly
, which surprised Lu Chengye, "Seventh Sister, you...have known that someone is eavesdropping outside?"
This time, Lu Zhaoyi did not deny it, just smiled and refused to answer.
But it shocked Lu Chengye very much. His seventh sister's ability was even more powerful than he had imagined!
Looking at his dazed and frightened look, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but ask, "Brother! What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, Zhaoyi, you'd better take a break soon! I'll take your place again in the second half of the night." Lu Chengye quickly changed the subject, gave another advice before leaving the mourning hall.
Afterwards, the mourning hall fell into death. While Lu Zhaoyi threw the yellow paper into the brazier, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the coffin. The emotions in his eyes were unpredictable.
She murmured: "Big Father. Now I have taken over the secrets that have been hidden in your heart for many years. If you can't do it and dare not do it, your granddaughter will help you do it and will also dig out the conspiracy in it. For your father, it is also for you, and your granddaughter must do it too!"
After saying that, she silently added: "Big Father, don't worry. Her granddaughter will definitely kill her enemies with her hands to sacrifice to you, and my father's spirit in heaven."
As night fell, dark clouds rolled in the sky, as if there was a roar of thunder, but Lu Zhaoyi seemed to be unable to hear it.
She kept sitting in front of the coffin without saying a word.
A gust of wind blew, and her thin clothes were blown to fly, like a small boat.
"Seventh Lady!" Song Yi walked into the mourning hall quietly and said indifferently.
When Lu Zhaoyi heard the sound, she raised her head and looked at him, and asked simply, "Is there any clue?"
"Return to Qi Niang. On the head of the maid, I found a letter, which was...
Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and held it in for a long time before saying the second half, "... Take the opportunity to sneak into Yutangyuan and kill Gouchen."
"So, the person behind the scenes must know that I am Gou Chenzi?" she murmured to herself.
Song Yi nodded coldly, "I'm afraid yes. Qi Niang, if you didn't confess to Your Majesty, would you? If you didn't do this, you wouldn't be able to get out of Sili."
She paused, "No need. I have made arrangements. Will the wake be passed first in the past few days?"
As she said that, she turned her head and looked out of the mourning hall, the dark night was slightly stunned.
"Tomorrow, you will send someone back to the city and bring a letter to the Taiwei Mansion."
After hearing the words, Song Yi was puzzled and could not guess what she had.
The night is dark and the wind and rain are mixed.
After midnight, Lu Chengye took over her and kept her guard. In such an environment, Lu Zhaoyi's pace was still steady, calm and calm, and slowly walked outside.
