Ding was the first to help the person up. Chen Shengfang fell and hit her nose and mouth, and her face looked covered in blood.
He couldn't talk properly anymore. Chen Mingda's eyes jumped when he saw it, but he still said sternly: "Do you think dad is pushing you into a pit of fire? Do you know how long dad has been planning for you? And you?
Brother, if the Duan family is really bad, can your brother agree?"
"He has already rushed back from Jiaxing. If you don't believe it, just wait. If you weren't my eldest daughter, do you think this marriage could fall on you?"
Ding's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said: "Sir, Shengfang just didn't understand for the moment. Why did you bother to force her?"
"Now that she is injured, I will take her down to clean her first, and we will talk about it later."
Chen Shengfang was in pain and sad. She looked at Lu Yunhong and saw Lu Yunhong arranging her gown. She couldn't bear the shock for a while and she didn't even have the strength to cry.
Ding quickly helped Chen Shengfang back, and her worried look didn't seem to be fake.
In the open hall, Duan Xuelin said to Chen Mingda: "If Shengfang doesn't want to, then don't force it. Although Lizhu is younger, you can also get engaged first and wait until Lizhu is old enough to marry her."
Chen Mingda sighed: "I don't know what kind of demon she is possessed by. She used to be very obedient, but now she is getting more and more confused."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Yunhong and said: "Grand nephew, uncle is here today to apologize for my useless son-in-law. I hope you will look at uncle's face and stop pursuing it."
Lu Yunhong said quickly: "What did you say, uncle? Magistrate Zhou is here today, and I have asked him to take care of Duan Xiucai. I hope Duan Xiucai will not suffer any grievances."
"As for the investigation, of course our Lu family doesn't want to make a big fuss. After all, it would be detrimental to our reputation."
"but……"
"But what?" Chen Mingda asked quickly.
At the same time, Wei Shi pricked up his ears and Duan Xuelin tightened his grip on the chair.
Lu Yunhong said calmly: "To put it simply, this matter is just a joke caused by a mistaken identity. It's not worth taking seriously. I'm afraid that my five uncles and father-in-law will take it seriously."
"Some of you don't know that my father-in-law has only one legitimate daughter, or a youngest daughter, whom he loves the most. I think she was trapped in prison with us at the beginning. On the surface, she lived and died with our Lu family, but in fact, His Highness the Crown Prince
I have requested a pardon document a long time ago, but it has never been made public."
"Just let these few know, and don't spread the word."
The rest of the people heard alarm bells ringing in their hearts. They didn't dare to say anything, so they nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they were shocked, Lu Yunhong continued: "Now that my uncle is visiting, I will immediately repair the book and go to the capital. However, there are many spy agents in the East Palace, and when the incident happened, it was handed over to the Yamen. It remains to be seen whether I can hide it. If I can't hide it, in the future
It’s just the affairs of the Wang family and the Duan family that have nothing to do with our Lu family.”
Chen Mingda didn't expect that there was such a powerful thing in it, and he was frightened when he heard it.
Wei Shi saw that Duan Changlin's hands and feet were weak and his face was pale. He was afraid that he would be frightened to death, so he immediately said: "Even so, I still ask Lu Zhuangyuan for help. One is because Duan Qiwen's crime is not worthy of death, and the other is that I believe Lu Zhuangyuan
There must be a way to solve this crisis."
When Duan Xuelin saw that Magistrate Wei was speaking for him, he quickly knelt down and said, "Lu Zhuangyuan, please, I only have a son like this. I hope to keep him safe."
"As long as you can help me, I'm willing to spend all my wealth."
When Lu Yunhong saw this, he pretended to be in trouble.
Chen Mingda also said: "Nephew, eldest nephew, if my uncle begs you, you will relieve the Duan family's difficulties. Please do this favor for your uncle."
Lu Yunhong sighed: "That's all."
"How dare Yun Hong disobey my uncle's orders. But it's just my humble opinion. If the Duan family can't do it, uncle should leave it alone."
Before Chen Mingda could speak, Duan Xuelin quickly kowtowed and said, "Lu Zhuangyuan, please tell me, my Duan family will definitely be able to do it."
Lu Yunhong said: "The fact that Duan Xiucai's fame is still there proves that my father-in-law and others don't know that the Duan family just took him out and told him to rest in peace."
"If in more than a month, Duan Xiucai is dismissed from his position, it means that the capital already knows about it and is unwilling to go around it. In an instant, the Duan family will remove Duan Qiwen from the list in order to protect themselves."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid it will affect the Duan family's future imperial examinations and official career."
When Duan Xuelin heard this, he was completely softened.
This means that it can save his son's life, but it cannot save his future.
Chen Mingda was also surprised and asked quickly: "Is there no other way?"
When Lu Yunhong heard this, he was a little angry and said: "Uncle, do you know who the Duan family is provoking? The daughter of the Wang family, my wife, we were married by the emperor himself, and she is still the junior sister of His Highness the Crown Prince.
.”
"To put it seriously, the Duan family is despising the power of heaven, which is a huge disaster!"
"Now, if it weren't for my uncle's sake, if I just sit back and ignore it, I don't know how my father-in-law and the others will punish me. And every move they make is closely related to the East Palace. What do you think the officials from all over the country will think?"
"Furthermore, the Duan family is from Suzhou, so why doesn't the prefect dare to interfere today?"
Chen Mingda was completely shocked and did not dare to speak anymore.
Magistrate Shi also felt that the stool under his butt was too hard and he could not sit still. But he could still rely on Chen Mingda, so naturally he would not be too scared.
Duan Xuelin also understood that he could only truly let his son live by grasping Chen Mingda's straw.
I saw Duan Xuelin packing up the marriage certificate and quickly kowtowed to Lu Yunhong: "Thank you so much for the advice from the top scholar Lu, the Duan family knows what to do."
We cannot wait until his career is revoked, but we must expel Duan Qiwen from the Duan family now.
Thinking of this, his heart ached, but there was nothing he could do.
Seeing that they all knew the facts, Lu Yunhong said, "You guys have a cup of tea first, and I'll write a letter right away."
Chen Mingda and the others did not dare to delay and quickly watched him leave.
As soon as Lu Yunhong left, Duan Changlin said: "I only have a son. I will drive him out of the Duan family openly, but the family property will be given to him. After they have children in a few years, this matter will be over before he is expelled."
When I recognize him, he must have seen that the children of the Duan family are bleeding from the Chen family, and Lu Zhuangyuan will also think of a comprehensive solution."
This means I have made up my mind never to break off the engagement.
Although Chen Mingda regretted it, he could not say anything about regretting the marriage in front of Magistrate Shi. He just sighed quietly: "I hope so."
Lu Yunhong went to the study and found that his father had already written the letter.
He looked at him strangely and said, "Very good, I haven't scared anyone to death yet."
Lu Yunhong was surprised and said: "When did dad become nosy?"
Lu Shouchang said angrily: "It's a good thing that you stand up for your wife, but can you think about your mother? She is just such a younger brother. Do you think she doesn't feel sorry for her?"
Lu Yunhong, who was taught a lesson, nodded and said calmly: "I understand, isn't this enough to scare you to death?"
"Bang" Lu Shouchang banged the table.
"I'm scared to death that your cousin can fight you to the death! Can what you said fool these old guys? Can it fool your cousin?"
"Okay, let it go as soon as it's done. I'll explain to the in-laws that if Duan Qiwen really marries Shengfang, you can't interrupt his career."
After Lu Shouchang finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
Lu Yunhong held the letter with a sneer on his lips.
The old man has no idea what Yun Ran went through in his previous life, otherwise he would just want to peel off the skin and bones of that strange article. If he wants him to let it go, it’s a dream!
Lu Yunhong thought and glanced down at the envelope, his eyes dark and unclear.
When he went out again, he unconsciously polished the ink marks on his fingertips, and there were some torn pieces of paper in the green potted plant outside the study.
