When talking about the past, Old Mrs. Lu was either melancholy or confused, sad or nostalgic, which was really sincere. However, when her old eyes full of sincerity slightly raised, she met three people with different thoughts.
Most of the high officials in the court showed no expression of emotion or anger on their faces, but there was not even the slightest hint of surprise.
It seems that he has been prepared for this.
Especially the look on Zhuo Yushi's face turned out to be sarcastic.
Mrs. Lu's pupils seemed to be stabbed by something. She shrank slightly and saw Zhuo Yushi looking up at her and asking, "Have you finished editing?"
Mrs. Lu glared at Zhuo Yushi coldly.
Zhuo Yushi overturned the case and said, "I heard everything you said and recorded it in the documents. However, there are a few things I don't understand and I have to ask you."
As he said that, Yushi Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's talk about it from the beginning, you said that your sister went to Cheng's house that day to serve General Cheng. You have been in the imperial capital for many years, and you know that the Liu family was very prominent back then. General Cheng was serving as an errand in the Imperial Guard.
, the imperial guards are under the command of the old Duke. The old Duke has a good relationship with General Cheng as both a superior and a subordinate, and he is also a good marriage partner. General Cheng is still married to the daughter of the Liu family. Can he be in the same courtyard as a superior officer and a relative by marriage?
How eager a person would be to have an affair with a woman."
"If it's not convenient for your sister to come out, it's easy for you. Besides, since General Cheng is henpecked, how dare he meet a woman in his own home? There are so many houses and yards outside, where can't there be a clean area? What if?
With General Cheng's little brains, even the old Duke's own son cannot take the position of General Xuanjiawei." Zhuo Yushi casually leaned back in his chair and raised his chin idly towards Mrs. Lu, "
Don't bully a dead person and just throw shit at someone's head because they can't speak. General Cheng is dead and this matter has been going on for a long time, but there's no guarantee that there will be anyone who knows about it."
Mrs. Lu's eyelids twitched imperceptibly, and Yushi Zhuo sneered, "You will go that day because it is a hard-won opportunity. If you miss this time, you will not know the year of the monkey next time. Neither will the people you want to serve."
General Cheng, but the old Duke. Back then, it was not your sister who served the old Duke, but you!"
Mrs. Lu clenched her cheeks and clenched her teeth so that her skinny jawline looked a bit ferocious. She said hoarsely, "You're talking nonsense!"
"What's not easy to admit? You, old man, have never seen any big storms in your life, and you dare not take it. Do you know where the biggest flaw is? You are too conceited, old lady. Do you think you
You are very wise and amazing. You were such a respected old prince in the imperial capital a few years ago. If you say something, the people below you will have to think about it a hundred times to see if there is any profound meaning in it. If you teach someone, then
It is the honor of the younger generation. When you go to the palace, you will have a chariot and sedan chair given by the emperor. It was given by the Supreme Emperor out of pity for your poor legs. Among all the ladies in the imperial capital, you are the only one who has this honor. Your two sons, one is a marquis and the other is a prince.
As a Duke, you have two daughters, one is the Queen and the other is the Lady of the Chamberlain. Apart from the Empress Dowager, the Emperor of Manchuria cannot find anyone more blessed than you."
Zhuo Yushi has a mean nature, and even ordinary words coming out of his mouth will make people think that you are mocking me, not to mention, he is indeed mocking Mrs. Lu. Zhuo Yushi raised his lips slightly, and his voice was pleasant.
He said pleasantly, "Then have you ever thought that your status in the imperial capital originally came from Ruihou. It was Ruihou who made military exploits and was granted titles. People respected Ruihou. You are Ruihou's mother, so you also have it."
After the death of Marquis Rui, the title of the Lu family is that of a relative. This is because your daughter was the queen and you are the mother of the queen, so you have honor. But all this, wealth, glory, and power, cannot be compared with you.
What does it matter? You did have these things once, but this is not your ability, it is your children's kindness to you. What do you have? Beauty, that has long passed. Wisdom, look at how the Lu family was when Ruihou was there.
Prosperity, and what your situation is now, you know how much of a failure you are as a mother. Character, ah, if I say you have good character, I'm afraid God can't agree to it."
It was probably the first time in Mrs. Lu's life that she had been ridiculed so mercilessly. Her face was as cold as ice, and she pressed her lips tightly together due to her age, without saying a word.
Zhuo Yushi said enthusiastically, "Your intelligence is just the intelligence you think you are. Mr. Li was the number one on the gold medal list, and Li Siqing won the third prize in spring. I was the worst in spring, and passed on to the second list. You are like this
You ignorant woman dares to lie in front of us. Who can you hide it from? Let me tell you, your first flaw is that you are too smart and you are too sure of what happened in that small courtyard.
It has been too long, the Cheng family has been defeated, and no one will know about what happened back then, so you can make up random things. But making up random things must be consistent with common sense. Let me tell you a common sense, when a henpecked man wants to cheat
, he will only choose a place that he thinks is the safest and least known, and he will take the initiative to find someone to have sex with. To put it bluntly, I only see men going to brothels to have fun, but how many of them will take the girls from the brothels?
Brought to home? Mrs. Lu, please wake up. People like you who prepare your body months in advance and rush to serve can only show that the person you want to serve is extraordinary, and you want to hold his flesh and blood
, you will get huge benefits from him. Even, this is not a consensual transaction. No one of the two people in the courtyard would want to see someone with your status carrying their blood. You are different.
It’s intentional and has been planned for a long time, so it must be successful once and for all.”
Mrs. Lu's eyes were like the tail of a poisonous bee piercing Zhuo Yushi, and Zhuo Yushi accepted it happily, "You are too eager to deny a fact, you dare not admit it, so you said that only your sister went there that day, this is
Lie, it was not just your sister who went to Cheng's house that day, but you two sisters."
Mrs. Lu's expression changed slightly, and Yushi Zhuo mocked lightly, "I won't make up those stories, but I have witnesses."
The officer invited two old men with white hair and beards from outside the hall to come in. Zhuo Yushi introduced to Mrs. Lu, "You don't know this one? These are the boys who served in General Cheng's courtyard back then. Now they are also the boss.
"
Zhuo Yushi asked the old boy, "When General Cheng was drunk, you were there to serve him?"
"Yes. It's the villain."
"Is there a slight gap in the middle?"
"You will never dare, a villain. It was hot at that time and the general was drunk. I served the general and drank the sobering soup. After the general lay down, I kept fanning him on the couch until he woke up in the afternoon.
, I dare not leave for a moment."
"Fifty years of old things, it's hard for you at your age to still remember them so clearly." Old Mrs. Lu said in a neutral tone.
The old boy said, "Although it's an old thing, over the years, not counting this time I came to testify, more than three people have asked me about it. The first time was more than two months after the incident, because that day was the birthday of the prince in the mansion.
It was extremely lively. The old Duke went to the banquet in person. After eating too much wine, he and the General went to the study to rest. Later, someone from Liu Gong’s Mansion called the young man and asked him several times. The young man was still puzzled, but he couldn’t understand the reason.
Thinking about it, this matter must be important, otherwise how could the villain be interrogated repeatedly. About thirty years ago, someone found the villain again and asked about what happened back then. The villain did not dare to make nonsense. It was indeed the villain who had been serving the general in the room that day. He did not dare
Get away for a moment."
Mrs. Lu still didn't believe it. Even if someone asked about it thirty years ago, Mu Anzhi had only just ascended the throne. No matter how powerful the Third Division was, they might not be able to find this boy! It was just a trap to find someone to deceive her.
Zhuo Yushi smiled slightly, having seen through what Mrs. Lu was thinking, Zhuo Yushi said, "Old lady, you must think that we just randomly found an elderly person to bluff you. If we can't find anyone, I may have to resort to deception.
However, there is no need. I heard that General Lin Cheng took the initiative to help us with the review of the Liu family case. It was General Lin who gave us the clues to find this old servant. Speaking of which, in fact, this old servant is not General Lin.
The general found it, as you said, old lady, when Marquis Rui took the opportunity to investigate the affairs of his mother's family for General Lin to investigate the old affairs of the Cheng family. In fact, it was Marquis Rui who found out, and he informed the whereabouts of this old servant.
General Lin. General Lin had no intention of the old grudges between his mother's family and did not disturb this old servant. However, General Lin always knew the address and name of this old servant. If he hadn't given it to us, how could we have found it?
This is an old man from thirty years ago."
Looking at Old Mrs. Lu's slightly trembling eyes, Zhuo Yushi taught earnestly, "You see, no effort is wasted."
"The second lie," Zhuo Yushi stretched out two fingers and pointed at another bronze-complexioned old man with a scar on his face. Even now, the scar is still hideous and terrifying, "You
Do you still remember him? When you left Cheng's house and got on the bus that day, you, Lao Chucheng'enze, had a fragile body and almost fell off the bench. It was this coachman who helped you. Do you still remember his name?
"
When the long-dusted truth was revealed, Mrs. Lu's whole body trembled. She looked at the old man in disbelief, "You, you, you are not..."
"Wei Hong, the head guard of the manor back then, was too important that time, so we didn't use your manor's coachman, but Wei Hong drove the car himself. When your country was beautiful and fragrant, with just a glance in your eyes, Wei Hong was already there.
I have a secret love for you. When you were detained by the Liu family in a small nunnery in the countryside, who found you, told Duke Wang of your whereabouts, and then someone from the Wang family secretly rescued you?" Zhuo Yushi said coldly, "It was Wei.
Hong, after that support, you will express your feelings to each other across the wall every new year. You tell him that you can't help yourself, and you would rather find an ordinary person to live with your husband and your children. You know in your heart that he admires you and is devoted to you.
You. So, after you were detained by the Liu family, he, a fish that slipped through the net, was still trying his best to find you. It was he who informed Duke Wang of your stay at the nunnery in the suburbs, and the Wang family secretly rescued you. He has been protecting you.
When you arrived in Langya, he asked you to go with him, but you kept delaying by saying that it was not safe outside now and the Wang family's guards were too strict. Finally, he understood that you had never thought about becoming husband and wife with him. However, your hand
Faster, you use the Langya Wang family to get rid of him, his fate is really great, he is not dead."
"Your sister did come to Langya with you. She had a marriage with the Wang family. That person was a guard of the Wang family. His surname was Zhao and his name was Zhao Xiang. Wei Hong was lucky enough to survive and was determined to take revenge. He finally waited for the opportunity.
Something happened to the Wang family. Zhao Xiang took your sisters and their children to escape south. Wei Hong had stayed in Langya for a few years and knew that Zhao Xiang was a strong martial artist. Therefore, he found an opportunity for Zhao Xiang to go out. Your sisters rented a small courtyard in the inn.
When you were talking, he came down from the sky and wanted to take your life. Do you still remember how you survived?"
"You pushed your sister out and blocked it in front of Wei Hong's knife. The knife on Wei Hong's face was killed by Zhao Xiang in a rage. How did you flatter Zhao Xiang to make him willing to send you away after burying your sister?
The mother and son went to Yangzhou. There is no circumstantial evidence for this matter, but I can guess that you must have said that your sister died saving you, and that you have been sorry for your sister, so you have to pay for her life. You even want to conquer Zhao Xiang
Let him do whatever you want? For all the men in the world, Wei Hong is stupid enough. Do you really think that all men love is beauty?"
Wei Hong couldn't help it anymore and said in a hoarse voice, "She was not the most outstanding girl in the manor at that time. The most outstanding girl was her sister Rong Yu. But Rong Yu was timid and was her sweet-talking nanny.
Grandma said that Rong Yu would not be able to do it without her help. She begged Aunt Jin in every possible way. Aunt Jin told me afterwards that although Rong Yu was pretty, she was not as ambitious as Rong Fei. With this ambition, I was afraid that she would have to give up.
Rong Fei plans to make a fortune."
"I thought Grandma Jin's words were harsh at the time, but now it seems that she is really shrewd and discerning." Wei Hong said coldly, "Why did Zhao Xiang turn against you later? Do you think that the child let it slip?
Let me tell you, I found Zhao Xiang and told him what happened that day. Your child was only three or four years old at the time. What does he know? He was playing in the courtyard. He may not have seen you recommend Rongyu as your
I was the one who told Zhao Xiang about blocking the knife. I originally thought he would kill you, but I didn’t expect him to be so soft-hearted and useless. He agreed to be an openly married couple with you because it was convenient for others.
You think that you have a beautiful country, and you can play with men at the palm of your hand, but you haven't been able to get Zhao Xiang in several years, right? No matter how hard you try, he doesn't care about you, right? Your face is useless in front of him
Bar?"
Wei Hong's face was full of disgust.
"Zhao Xiang is ignorant, so you seduced the bodyguard next door. Otherwise, how could you have killed Zhao Xiang. I really didn't expect him to be so useless. I was the one who killed his beloved, so he naturally didn't believe it.
I. He must have come to confront you, and with your sweet words, you first stabilized him, and then conspired with the adulterer to kill him!"
"Those romances you told me about, you told Zhao Xiang, and you also told the escort, whoever takes the bait will be your prey, slave, you want to be a master day and night, but how can the Liu family want to do it?"
With your background, the Liu family is a poor girl, and there are also girls from innocent families, how could you want a secret prostitute!"
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
What's more, they are old enemies for decades, so it's naturally hard to hear about them.
However, Mrs. Lu was indeed Mrs. Lu. She didn't look annoyed at all when she heard this. Instead, she said to Wei Hong in a gentle and creepy tone, "If I am a secret prostitute, who are you? A secret prostitute."
Dog? You're still a piece of trash that even a prostitute can't look down on! You don't look at yourself and weigh yourself, are you worthy? I've suffered so much and endured so many twists and turns, is it because I fall in love with you?
The one named Liu, if he didn’t have an unattainable status and power that everyone admires, would I have looked at him more? Queen, what more princesses are there than me? One was born in a nursery like me, and the other couldn’t even give birth to a son.
Come out, they are just better than me at reincarnation! They have it, why can’t I have it? I was born to be a master, what do you hate me for, you should hate yourself, you want to have the power and position of the Liu family, how can I
Are you still willing to kill you? It’s because you are incompetent. It’s just your incompetence. You don’t have the eyesight or self-knowledge. If you don’t die, who will die!”
"Now you dare to put on such an ugly face to confront me. What are you going to confront? If you were now a high-ranking official and well-paid, I might regret missing you. Look at you, what do you have? You still have nothing. I really
I'm glad it was my decision. When I see you, I understand that I didn't do anything wrong back then."
Once the youthful beauty fades away, the evil spirit beneath the human skin finally reveals her true face.
