The mourning hall was silent. Everyone stared at Madam Wang and Ye Zhen. No one could have imagined that the maid dared to hit the second madam. Even if … even if the third miss was not the Lu family's own daughter, she still had to call the second madam Second Aunt, right?
"You … you …" Madam Wang's face was burning with pain. She glared at Hong Ling. "Cheap maid, how dare you hit me!"
"Second Madam of the Lu family, you must have forgotten that our miss is a princess. Even if you are the second madam of the Lu family, you can't insult her at will." Hong Ling was originally a maid of a famous family. Her bearing and attitude were not comparable to any maid of the Lu family. Madam Wang's face changed dramatically.
"What's wrong with her being a princess? My mother is her second aunt." Lu Jing stood up and scolded. She was clearly the daughter of a criminal, yet she still pretended to be superior in front of them.
Hong Ling looked at Lu Jing with a smile that was not a smile. "Who are you then? Where did you hear that our miss is the daughter of a criminal? "
"Isn't she? She is Ye Zhen's sister. The Ye family was executed. Since you are a descendant of the Ye family, you are a criminal. "Lu Jing cried. She never wanted Lu Yaoyao to die at this moment.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "These words … I'm afraid you have to say it to the emperor."
"You don't have to use the emperor to threaten us." Lu Jing snorted.
"So what if I threaten you?" Ye Zhen chuckled aloud. Was it worth her trouble to threaten these people?
Madam Wang, who was beaten, suddenly screamed, "Murder …"
"Why are you still quarreling in front of my mother's mourning hall?" Lu Shiming and Lu Shixun walked in from the outside. Before they entered the mourning hall, they heard Madam Wang's sharp cry.
"Master, this ungrateful wretch … She actually let her maid hit me … Master, what's wrong with your face?" Madam Wang originally wanted to complain to Lu Shixun, but when she looked up and saw his swollen face and the blood on the corner of his mouth, she turned pale with fright.
Lu Shixun's mouth was so painful that he could not speak. He glared at Madam Wang and scolded her, "Shut up!"
Madam Wang was stunned by Lu Shixun's roar. What was going on? Who was angry at her today?
"Why are you arguing in front of the mourning hall? What do the guests who come to mourn look like? "Lu Shiming said in a low voice," Be quiet. "
"Third Uncle, you raised a good daughter. An ingrate is indeed an ingrate. She didn't even admit her mistake when she came back and even let her maid hit me." Madam Wang shouted without caring about her image.
Lu Shiming shouted, "Second Sister-in-law, please calm down."
"I …" Madam Wang was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but she was slapped by Lu Shixun.
"I told you to shut up. Didn't you hear me?" Lu Shixun roared. "So what if you got slapped? I was beaten up by thirty of them. "
Madam Wang covered her face and looked at her husband. "Who would dare to hit you?"
"Emperor!" Lu Shixun glared at him, covered his face, and walked out. How could he have the face to stay here?
"Master, Master." Madam Wang hurriedly chased after him.
Lu Shiming and Pei shi looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
Leaving Lu Tingzhi to guard the mourning hall, Ye Zhen followed Lu Shiming and his wife into the house to talk.
"Yaoyao, why are you back? Why did the Emperor come back with you? " As soon as she entered the house, Pei shi grabbed Ye Zhen's hand and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was fine, she was relieved. "Why did I hear that Yan Zhi went to Hamu City to look for you? Have you seen him?"
Ye Zhen's face sank. "Mother, don't mention him. Lu Lingzhi is a beast."
Lu Shiming's face changed. "Yaoyao, what the hell is going on?"
"Father, mother, I went to Hamu City and encountered heavy snow. The port was closed to ships. We stayed in Hamu City for a few days. Lu Lingzhi sent someone to follow me and took me to see him. He also said that I looked like Ye Zhen. He wanted to marry me and take me away from the Jin Kingdom. I refused, so he drugged me …" Ye Zhen didn't want Lu Shiming and his wife to feel guilty because of Lu Lingzhi's fate in the future. She wanted them to know that Lu Lingzhi brought this upon himself. "I was almost … saved by him. Later, I heard that my biological father was no longer in Dongqing, so I came back with the Emperor first."
Lu Shiming was dumbfounded. He had always valued Lu Lingzhi. Ever since his big brother passed away, Lu Lingzhi had been the one to take care of everything in the family. He never thought that … his nephew would actually do such a thing to his own daughter.
"Is it because of this that the Emperor turned him into a cripple?" Lu Shiming's voice was gloomy, looking desperate and helpless.
Ye Zhen shook her head gently. "I heard that he also killed Ye Zhen and asked Sister Shuang 'er to replace Ye Zhen and pretend to be the Emperor's savior. In fact, it was Ye Zhen who saved the Emperor before. Lu Lingzhi also forged an imperial edict and poisoned Ye Zhen."
Lu Shiming had heard of this incident, but he didn't know that the person who saved the Emperor would be Ye Zhen. The last hope in his heart was extinguished. It seemed that the Emperor would not give him any chance.
Pei Shi appreciated Lu Lingzhi very much, but her appreciation was before he did anything to hurt her daughter. "Lu Lingzhi, this beast! Even if Yaoyao is Ye Zhen's sister, he can't do such a thing! He should be exiled to the Wilderness by the Emperor! "
"Don't say it." Lu Shiming sighed. "He has been punished."
Ye Zhen knelt down gently. "Father, mother, it's all my fault for killing the Old Madam … Is she very sad?"
Lu Shiming touched her head. "This matter has nothing to do with you. The Old Madam is sad because of Ye Zhen … Sigh, this is retribution. If he didn't kill Ye Zhen, how could the Lu family have such retribution today?"
"I thought you would no longer treat me as your daughter." Ye Zhen lay on Pei Shi's knee. How fortunate she was to be loved by the couple.
"How can that be? Even if you find your biological father, we are still your parents." Pei Shi said softly.
Lu Shiming sighed. "Now that the family is in a mess, don't take some unpleasant words to heart. Our family can talk behind closed doors."
Pei Shi thought of the current situation of the Lu family and turned to look at him. "The second sister-in-law still resents our third branch because of the Old Madam's last words. If they don't go to Jinkou City, we will separate."
After the separation, they would not have to see each other all day, and there would be fewer quarrels.
"About the separation, let's wait until after mother's funeral." Lu Shiming whispered. He also had this idea in his heart.
When Ye Zhen heard that they had plans to separate, she was very looking forward to it. She felt that if she lived with Lu Shixun, they would be implicated in the future. "Father, mother, when will brother come back?"
"He is already on the way. I believe he will arrive in the capital soon."
