Duanmu Ya stood behind Lu Tingzhi. He had only come to treat Lu Lingzhi with acupuncture. Who would have thought that he would hear the family's secrets? He really didn't want to hear this.
"Second Brother, when did you come back?" Lu Lingzhi looked at Lu Tingzhi calmly. His expression was still calm, as if he didn't see Lu Tingzhi's shock and the Liu-shi's paleness.
"Is what you just said true?" Lu Tingzhi asked angrily.
The Liu-shi's face was pale, and her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to let her two sons understand that she was only doing it for their own good.
Lu Lingzhi didn't look at the Liu-shi again. He had said what he wanted to say, and he had seen what he needed to see. Next, he should go and do what he needed to do.
"Follow me," he said to Lu Tingzhi mildly.
"Big Brother!" Seeing that he didn't reply, Lu Tingzhi turned and followed. "Why did Mother and Shuang 'er want to kill Fifth Brother?"
How old was Fifth Brother then? He wasn't even five years old. Such a cute and intelligent child made him happy. Even if they didn't have the same mother, they were still brothers. There wasn't a huge difference in status in their family. Why did Fifth Brother, who was defenseless, die?
Lu Lingzhi said mildly, "There are many unanswered questions in this world. Tingzhi, this matter is over. Don't mention it again."
"Not mentioning it doesn't mean it didn't happen," Lu Tingzhi said coldly.
Duanmu Ya followed behind them. He felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to continue listening to these words. "You two brothers talk first. I'll come back later to give you acupuncture."
Lu Tingzhi said to him, "What I told you before can be done in two days."
"Are you serious?" Duanmu Ya asked seriously. "You know the consequences."
"Yeah, I'm serious," Lu Lingzhi said mildly. His gaze fell on Lu Tingzhi. "What else do you want to say?"
"What do you want to do now?" Lu Tingzhi stared coldly at Lu Lingzhi.
Duanmu Ya looked at the brothers and turned to leave helplessly. Some things had to be said clearly by the brothers.
"Second Brother, what did you think I would do?" Lu Lingzhi said with a smile, "You are now the pillar of the family. This is good. Mother still needs you to take care of her in the future."
"Do you think I'll be like you, doing evil things for Shuang 'er and mother?" Lu Tingzhi asked with a sneer. "No, I won't be like you."
Lu Lingzhi looked at his angry brother and smiled. "Do you think I've done something outrageous?"
"You poisoned Ye Zhen for Shuang 'er and caused her to die innocently. Brother, is it painful to kill your beloved? You transferred your pain onto Yaoyao. Yaoyao is our little sister, how could you do such a thing to her? "Lu Tingzhi lowered his voice, practically grinding his teeth as he asked.
"So you already know." This would explain why his younger brother was not as close and respectful to him as before.
Lu Lingzhi smiled and looked coldly at the setting sun in the west. "I have indeed done many wrong things. Now I am tired and want to rest."
"I won't believe you." Lu Tingzhi said.
"You don't have to believe me. I won't appear again in the future." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice. "Tingzhi, I won't ask you to do anything for Shuang 'er. You just have to be yourself."
Lu Tingzhi's eyes were still filled with anger, but his voice was unusually calm. "I know what I have to do. Everything I do now is to have the face to go to grandmother's grave in the future. What about you? The person grandmother loves the most is you, but you hurt her most beloved granddaughter. Don't you feel guilty? "
"Tingzhi, you and I both know that Yaoyao is not third uncle's daughter." Lu Lingzhi lowered his eyes.
"This is not a reason for you to hurt Yaoyao." Lu Tingzhi clenched his fists and closed his eyes in pain.
Lu Lingzhi looked at him in surprise. After a moment, he said, "I thought you spent little time with Yaoyao and didn't have much affection for her …"
"What did you ask Duanmu Ya to do? What schemes do you have up your sleeves this time? "Lu Tingzhi opened his eyes and suppressed all of his bitterness.
"You don't need to care about that." Lu Lingzhi said indifferently. "Don't worry about Shuang 'er. There's nothing she can't do. As for mother … lock her up at home and don't let her enter the palace again. The current Emperor … you just need to be a pure official."
Lu Tingzhi heard that he seemed to be saying his last words. He said angrily, "If you still want to hurt Yaoyao …"
"Yaoyao is dead." Lu Lingzhi's voice was extremely low, as if this was the only way to suppress the sorrow and pain in his heart.
"What did you say?" Lu Tingzhi's expression changed. He looked at Lu Lingzhi in a daze.
Lu Lingzhi smiled at him. "I don't believe this."
"Tell me clearly. What happened?" Yaoyao was dead? Why didn't he receive any news? How was that possible? How could such a pure and beautiful girl disappear just like that?
"I don't know. If there's news in the future, I'll tell you." Lu Lingzhi rubbed his forehead. "I'll go find Duanmu Ya. Without his acupuncture, I'll have a headache."
Lu Tingzhi had yet to recover from the news. He stared blankly at Lu Lingzhi's back. His mind was filled with the image of Yaoyao's divine radiance.
"You actually told him about Lu Yaoyao's death!" Duanmu Ya looked at Lu Lingzhi unhappily.
"You stood here and eavesdropped?" Lu Lingzhi raised his eyebrows.
Duanmu Ya snorted. "It's time for acupuncture. I came to rush you. I just happened to hear it."
"Let's go." Lu Lingzhi said. He didn't want to mention Yaoyao's death anymore. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself and believe it.
He still stubbornly believed that Yaoyao would return.
"If you just want to hide your identity, you don't need to use that method. A simple disguise would be enough to fool everyone. It doesn't matter where you live when the time comes. Just don't let anyone find out," Duanmu Ya said.
Lu Lingzhi said calmly, "What I want is for Lu Lingzhi to disappear completely."
"The process will be very painful. Not only will I have to cut off your flesh and bones, I'll also …" Duanmu Ya really didn't want to use that method to change his appearance. "When the time comes, no one will be able to recognize you."
"Isn't that better?" This was the effect he wanted. Otherwise, how could he do what he wanted to do?
"You're really a lunatic!" In order to not want to be himself, he was even willing to endure such pain.
Lu Lingzhi smiled faintly. He was as gentle as an elegant young master, but it sent chills down one's spine. "That's right. If I'm not crazy, how can I become a demon?"
His heart was already bewitched.
Ye Zhen was his inner demon. He was immersed in it and would never be able to free himself.
