Lu Zhiyao's sinister tone frightened the servant, who naturally nodded repeatedly. Lu Zhiyao patted his shoulder with satisfaction and waited for Wan Yue to bring Lu Yuanzheng.
Lu Yuanzheng was woken up from his sleep by Wan Yue knocking on the door, and of course Ye Lianrong was there at the same time. The two of them looked at Wan Yue in a daze and said nervously, "The eldest lady needs to see the master for something." Ye Lianrong was furious.
As soon as I hit him, I started to curse.
"What young lady? You don't even know what time it is. Are you seeking death? I have to go to court tomorrow morning, so get out of here!"
Wan Yue ignored Ye Lianrong's words, looked directly at Lu Yuanzheng, and said again: "Master, this is really an important matter. The lady said that if you don't go, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Wan Yue had already said this, so Lu Yuanzheng could no longer ignore her. Lu Yuanzheng sat up, paused, looked at Wan Yue with a gloomy expression, and asked, "What can't be said here?"
"Well, it can't be here. Because..." Wan Yue hesitated for a moment, and finally boldly said what Lu Zhiyao said. "Because the lady specifically asked me not to let the second lady hear this."
Ye Lianrong was so angry at Wan Yue's words that she sobered up. She raised her eyebrows and glared at Wan Yue. Because Lu Yuanzheng was present, Ye Lianrong did not dare to scold him anything too unpleasant. But at least she stopped Lu Yuanzheng from meeting Lu Zhiyao.
What we need to do is, if Lu Zhiyao goes to Lu Yuanzheng so late, what good things can he do?
"Master, you'd better rest. If there was really something big, Zhiyao would have come to see you himself. Why would he send a little girl here?"
Lu Yuanzheng had been sitting there, thinking for a while before slowly moving and standing up. He casually put on a robe, Lu Yuanzheng looked back at Ye Lianrong and said, "I'll go take a look, you go to sleep first."
After saying that, Lu Yuanzheng followed Wan Yue. How could Ye Lianrong sleep so obediently? Following the two of them uneasily, Ye Lianrong also sneakily walked towards Lu Zhiyao's other courtyard.
As soon as Lu Yuanzheng walked into Lu Zhiyao's room, he was dumbfounded. Several tied men were lying on the ground in a mess. Lu Zhiyao was sitting at the table as if he was waiting for him.
"Dad, you're here." When Lu Zhiyao saw Lu Yuanzheng, he didn't immediately stand up to greet him. "Wanyue, go to the door and guard."
After Wan Yue left the room, Lu Zhiyao walked up to the shocked Lu Yuanzheng. "Dad, don't you want to ask who they are?"
Lu Yuanzheng slowly turned his head and followed Lu Zhiyao's words and asked, "Who are they?"
Lu Zhiyao sneered and replied: "They are the ones who went to dig my mother's grave tonight. Do you want to ask them who ordered them to do this?"
Lu Zhiyao's two words made Lu Yuanzheng's eyes flash and his mind went blank. The person who dug up Yang Xinyuan's grave?!
After Lu Yuanzheng calmed down for a moment, he immediately walked over. Looking at the frightened expressions on those people's faces, Lu Yuanzheng randomly clicked on a person, took out the thing from his mouth, and asked: "What's going on?
Tell me clearly!"
The person Lu Yuanzheng was looking for was not the one Lu Zhiyao had threatened just now. But he also saw what Lu Zhiyao did and heard the conversation between Lu Zhiyao and that person.
The man squeaked out the truth. When Lu Yuanzheng heard him say that it was Ye Shengnan who sent them to dig the grave, he felt his eyes darken and his body swayed immediately.
"Dad, you have to hold on." Lu Zhiyao walked to Lu Yuanzheng's side and supported his body. "There is an even more unexpected truth behind."
Not long after Lu Yuanzheng arrived at Lu Zhiyao's room, Lan Ruoling sent Ye Shengnan over. Lan Ruoling said hello to Lu Yuanzheng and left. As soon as Lu Yuanzheng saw Lan Ruoling, he guessed
Something happened.
Ye Shengnan had already changed her clothes. After seeing Lu Yuanzheng and Lu Zhiyao, Ye Shengnan knew that something serious was going to happen. For her brother-in-law, Ye Shengnan was really afraid of him.
"Dad, didn't I ask you before, did you ever have any doubts about my mother's death? At that time, you swore to warn me not to doubt my mother. But now? Do you still want to say that?"
Lu Zhiyao's attitude was a bit aggressive, but Lu Yuanzheng could understand why she was so angry. Lu Yuanzheng still couldn't believe the truth of the matter. He looked at Ye Shengnan and silently asked him to explain to him.
Ye Shengnan looked at the expedition and began to defend himself. "What, this is all, you all misunderstood, misunderstood! In fact, I went to the cemetery tonight to do other things, and I accidentally misunderstood
Yes, it was dug in the wrong place.”
"Why are you going to the cemetery so late?" Lu Yuanzheng asked not believing his wording.
"Don't I owe someone some money? I have to help them with things, right? Brother-in-law, you see, we are all a family, and it's not good to be so stiff."
"How come what my uncle said is completely different from what the people under your command said?" Lu Zhiyao picked the right moment and said: "They just recruited them, saying that it was you who asked them to dig my grave.
My mother’s grave. After you dug out the coffin, you took a look at my mother’s bones. Then you ordered them to dig out the coffin from the nearby grave and swap the two bones inside. Uncle,
Then can you explain the reason why you did this? If the people from the Yamen didn't show up, you would have succeeded long ago, right?"
Lu Zhiyao's two calls for uncle made Ye Shengnan want to slap her twice. Ye Shengnan twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, looked at those useless dog slaves, and then looked at Lu Yuanzheng to continue his quibbles.
I told you, the digging was wrong! How could I do such a harm as digging my own family's grave? Impossible! Brother-in-law, you have to believe me, I really didn't mean it."
"Well, since uncle won't admit it, I won't mention it." Lu Zhiyao smiled coldly and looked at Lu Yuanzheng. "Dad, you can blame your daughter for not telling you the truth, but there is something I must do
I have to say. I have asked the Eighth Prince to help me find out the truth about my mother's death. If you still don't believe it, you can find someone to open the coffin for my mother and conduct an autopsy now. Human life is a matter of great importance, and my daughter will not die.
Dare to talk nonsense. I just want to seek justice for my dead mother and brother, and find a reason to clean up my bad reputation for so many years."
This matter involved the Eighth Prince, so it was no small matter. Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao as if he were a stranger. He didn't expect that this girl had done this unknowingly. What on earth was she doing?
When did the plan begin? How did the Eighth Prince agree to help her?
Ye Lianrong followed Lu Yuanzheng all the way. She hid outside the yard and did not dare to make a sound. She wanted to wait and see what the situation was before making any plans. But when she saw Lan Ruoling and Ye Shengnan appear, Ye Lianrong's
My heart was completely panicked.
Why did you bring Ye Shengnan here so late?! Ye Lianrong thought of a possibility, a possibility that almost made her unable to breathe. Gritting her teeth, Ye Lianrong squatted on the ground. She felt that her nose was sour and she suddenly wanted to cry.
But I couldn't cry.
"Uncle, if you are still not going to tell the truth, then I will have to hand you over to Lan Ruoling and let her interrogate you. Then, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
Lu Zhiyao turned the conversation to Ye Shengnan again, and Ye Shengnan immediately greeted her eight hundred and sixty times in his heart. Ye Shengnan was also afraid that the matter would get bigger, and it would not only be embarrassing. Then if the Eighth Prince really had intentions
If he wants to help this dead girl, his situation will be very dangerous. He can't ask anyone else for this matter. The seventh prince can't help him, and the prince can't help him! Because Ye Lianrong is a murderer in the first place, they can't do it because of this matter.
Ruined his own reputation.
Ye Shengnan was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she was afraid of Lin Yinan's power, but on the other hand, she was afraid of the consequences that would bring to herself and Ye Lianrong if she told the truth.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Ye Shengnan's expression silently, and kindly wanted to calm him down. "Uncle, you don't want to make this matter a big deal, and I don't want to make it big either. If the eighth prince and the prince are really involved,
If you don't behave well, my father will be in a dilemma. All I want is the truth."
As Lu Zhiyao spoke, tears couldn't stop flowing down. He looked at Lu Yuanzheng with tearful eyes, and Lu Zhiyao said with a trembling voice: "Dad, you don't know the grievances your daughter has felt over the years. You don't know every day."
This is how my daughter felt when she heard someone say that it was her daughter who killed her mother and her brother. I don’t want my father to misunderstand me again, and I don’t want my mother to feel so heartbroken."
Lu Zhiyao cried and threw himself into Lu Yuanzheng's arms, causing Lu Yuanzheng's stiff body to take a step back.
Lu Zhiyao's tears quickly soaked Lu Yuanzheng's clothes. Lu Yuanzheng looked at Ye Shengnan irritably. The matter was already very clear, wasn't it?
Lu Yuanzheng really didn't expect that things would turn out like this. He had clearly used that tone to lecture Lu Zhiyao before, telling her not to accuse Ye Lianrong unjustly. But now...
Thinking about Yang Xinyuan who died tragically after giving birth to Lu Zhiyao, and thinking about his son who died just after he learned to walk, Lu Yuanzheng also had the urge to cry.
He has been blaming himself for many years. In the years after Yang Xinyuan and his son died one after another, Lu Yuanzheng always felt that it was because of his negligence that both mother and son left him one after another. But later
, when Lu Zhiyao grew up, when rumors that Lu Zhiyao was the broom star gradually spread, and when everyone was saying that Lu Zhiyao killed her mother and brother, Lu Yuanzheng's heart actually began to change.
Shaken.
Maybe it's really not my fault? Maybe I really did a good enough job?
Lu Yuanzheng listened to those rumors and got through it day by day, ignoring Lu Zhiyao day by day. After all these years, he had even regarded the rumors as fact. But now, reality has given him such a hard blow.
