I'm afraid that Lord Gu is delaying the attack at this moment, just to stabilize the direction of the wind.
The forces in the DPRK are intertwined. Although the Lu family has already surrendered to the Gu family, after all, the Gu family wants more than just this family.
Gu Jinghuan can tolerate Lu Li at the moment, but he is afraid that Lord Gu will not be able to tolerate it, and he will easily clean up this branch of the Lu family in the future.
Gu Jinghuan's reputation in the court was pretty good, and he was smart. Such a son was rare. To be interfered with by the Lu family and almost ruin his career, one can only imagine how powerful Mr. Gu was. Heartache.
The younger daughter's poor acting skills could not escape Gu Hou's eyes, but that night Gu Hou couldn't tell whether it was a show or a real frame-up, so he had no choice but to go along with the situation and make a fool of himself.
What Gu Jinghuan did that day was really unexpected by Shen Zi. She originally thought that Gu Jinghuan had been deeply in love with Lu Li for a long time, but she never thought that it was just wishful thinking of Lu Li!
But these are no longer important. Ever since he wanted to use Lu Li to deal with him and suppress the Shen family, she and Gu Jinghuan were enemies. No matter what the grudges were in their past lives, she would not let Lu Li and Gu Jinghuan go so easily.
As for Lu Li, she made a mistake.
Although Lu Li could marry into the Gu family, she made the Gu family suspicious. Coupled with her instigation that day, Lu Li must have been unable to bear it any longer!
If she continues to fail to get rid of Lu Shan, I'm afraid the grudge will become even deeper.
Lu Mansion.
Mrs. Lu is still in grief. In the past, Lu Yuan and she had a strong relationship. Although it doesn't hurt to have several concubines in the house, who doesn't have such nasty things? Now the two of them have gradually separated. Lu Yuan has already I stayed in the study for several days in a row.
As an official in the court, the most important thing is the stability of your family and home.
Husband and wife should cooperate internally and externally and cooperate with each other to make the family more stable. Now Lu Li's matter is the root of the problem between them.
But Mrs. Lu doesn't care about Lu Li now, she only cares about Lu Shan.
However, Lu Yuan protected Lu Li as if he had lost his soul, and even ignored his biological daughter. This made her feel heartbroken.
"Master, are you still staying in the study tonight?" Mrs. Lu asked when she saw Danyang who was waiting beside her walk in.
Danyang nodded after hearing this, and Mrs. Lu's face turned pale when she saw this.
"He is so cruel. In the past, he quietly protected that bitch Lu Li, and I could turn a blind eye. Now he doesn't even care about Shan'er."
Danyang made the bed for Mrs. Lu, turned around and came to Mrs. Lu's side and said, "I asked about it and said that the master met with the accountant today and asked how much money there is in the house."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her heart sank, "Did Mr. Accountant say anything else?"
"Mr. Accountant said that the master only asked about this, and didn't ask any more questions." Danyang comforted Mrs. Lu, and then said, "Maybe the master is acting on a whim. Madam, please don't panic."
"On a whim? Humph." Mrs. Lu snorted coldly.
"I think it's because of that little bitch Lu Li! He actually wants to give all the property in the house to that little bitch as a dowry. He, Lu Yuan, has a dream. As long as my wife is still sitting in this position, she will not let that little bitch get what she wants. "
"Isn't he protecting her daughter? I want you to see how long he can protect her."
"Go, find someone to quietly spread this news to the old lady's ears, and let her see how partial the son she has raised for many years is."
After all, Mrs. Lu and Lu Yuan were husband and wife, so she naturally didn't want things to get so embarrassing. In addition, for the sake of her son and daughter's future, she had to take action. As for Lu Li, she didn't like him at all, let alone others.
"No"
Mrs. Lu seemed to have thought of something and stopped Danyang again.
But when she said it, she felt it was inappropriate, so she asked again, "Is there anything the bitch can do?"
Danyang shook his head, "It seems to be more peaceful over there. Even the mother-in-law and maidservants haven't moved all day."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu didn't seem to believe it, "Did Master go to the bitch's house?"
"The master went there the day before Madam came back. He has not been there in the past few days."
"What?" Mrs. Lu suddenly raised her head when she heard this.
She looked at Danyang in disbelief and murmured, "It's broken. It's too late."
Mrs. Lu urged Danyang, "Go and find Mr. Accountant quickly, tell him that I have something to ask him, and come quietly so that no one can see it, especially the housekeeper, you know?"
She really couldn't believe that that bitch moved so quickly, but just came back a few days late, and everything in the house had changed.
If she had known earlier that she should have sent people to guard the house and let people take the opportunity to kill that bitch, maybe she should not have been soft-hearted and let her live in this world.
It's too late now. She just hopes that her son will come back soon, so that no one will help her. And her poor Shan'er, she is obviously the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, but she was hit by a bitch yesterday.
He almost lost his life.
Not long after, Danyang quietly brought the accountant in from behind.
"I've met Madam." The man clasped his fists and saluted.
"Mr. Zhong, there is no need to be polite. Do you know why I have called you here tonight?" Bai said. As she said this, she motioned to Danyang to bring a stool for Mr. Zhong to sit down.
"I don't know, please tell me, madam!"
"I heard today that the master is looking for you? I don't want to worry about it. It's just that after a few days away from home, a lot of trouble happened in the house. I'm just worried that the master is tired, so I ask you as usual. Don't be nervous, sir."
Although Mr. Zhong is said to be a member of the Bai family, the head of the Lu family is always Lu Yuan, so the Bai family can only make insinuations for fear of arousing suspicion if he says something else.
Mr. Zhong had already taken out the account book from his sleeve, "Madam, please see, this is what the master has told me, saying that all these shops will be handed over to the fourth lady to take care of. If there is anything missing, just let the fourth lady speak."
Mrs. Bai looked at the account books, her heart was bleeding. Those were the most profitable shops of the Lu family. Lu Yuan actually gave them to that little bitch without her consent. How could her son and daughter survive in Kyoto?
!
"Is it all for the Fourth Miss?" Ms. Bai clenched the handkerchief tightly and asked again unwillingly.
Mr. Zhong has been in the Lu family for many years and has heard many secrets of the Lu family. He said respectfully, "Yes, the master wants everything to be taken care of by the fourth lady."
"What about the income of this shop? And the manager of the shop? And what will he do in the future? Does Mr. Zhong know anything about it?" Bai's voice suddenly rose, and he asked in disbelief.
Mr. Zhong shook his head, "After these shops were given to the fourth lady, the fourth lady never asked the old slave for any money, nor did she go through any officials in the government, so the old slave didn't know anything about it!"
Mr. Zhong's words were like sharp swords piercing Bai's heart. He gave Lu Li such a big deal as his shop without asking her, and decided to give it to her privately. Does he still have her as his wife in his eyes?
