Chapter 157 Feed the pigs

As dusk fell, the Fengya Pavilion, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively.

Lu Wenjing and Tang Shuli led Keyan, Xiaoning and the two cooks to work in the kitchen for several hours, and by nightfall they had prepared a lot of delicacies.

A large table of people were enjoying the delicacies on this table with gusto, but Jiang Yunqing, the son-in-law of the younger brother-in-law, made an inappropriate complaint:
"The second sister-in-law and the cousin of the Shen family just now made the Holy Empress very angry. When I looked at Yan Chao, she didn't look very good. The Holy Empress doesn't like my brother. I'm afraid our life will be even more miserable in the future. .”

Hearing this, Lu Junwan rolled her eyes at him angrily, angrily picked up several pieces of meat and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Pfft, puff."

Jiang Yunqing was suffocated by the stuff in his throat, and asked with his face flushed from holding back, "What are you doing, madam?"

Seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, Jiang Yunqing realized something was wrong and quickly explained: "I don't want to blame the second sister-in-law and cousin Shen..."

Lu Junwan didn't want to listen to him, so he forced another piece of meat into his mouth with a dark face.

"Madam, are you feeding the pigs?"

Jiang Yunqing was a little annoyed: "That's not how pigs are fed."

"You can't stop your mouth if you eat it."

Lu Junwan glared at him dissatisfied.

"I……"

Jiang Yunqing felt a little aggrieved.

Isn't he also thinking about this family? Why is he always being scolded by his wife?

"Okay."

Having lost his interest, Lu Wenqian no longer had the desire to continue eating.

Looking deeply at Qu Yunchu, he said in a calm tone: "The Holy Lady and I have already reached the point where we will fight to the death. Even if nothing happened today, she would not have any mercy towards me, Feng Yage. "

These words made Lu Junwan and Lu Wenjing both frown.

Everyone knew that the elder brother and Mrs. Hua had not been getting along over the years, but they did not expect that the feud between the two had reached this level.

Lu Wenjing seemed to have guessed something, and asked suspiciously: "Second brother, could your last poisoning have something to do with Mrs. Hua?"

Lu Wenqian remained silent and did not answer.

Lu Junwan has been investigating this matter. Last time, she even suspected that her mother was involved in the matter. Now after listening to the fourth child's words, she suddenly realized something.

"No wonder the second brother only executed two girls, Chunhua and Qiuyi. It turned out that he had already realized it in his heart."

Lu Junwan suddenly couldn't bear to mention this matter anymore.

She really couldn't imagine what role her mother played in it.

Lu Wenqian's expression was quite solemn at this time, and his feelings towards the Lu family were somewhat complicated.

Although he has lived a cautious life since he was a child, he still respects and trusts Jiang Rui very much because of his adoptive father Lu Baisheng.

In my mind, I couldn't help but recall the first time I came into contact with Lu Boxheng and Jiang Rui in Yeting.

At that time, he was very resistant to meeting any stranger except Zhang Jinnian, but Lu Boxheng influenced him with his kindness.

In addition, the situation at that time was very difficult. Except for Lu Baisheng, almost no one was willing to adopt this violent prince.

Although he knew very well that Lu Baisheng was willing to take Zhang Jinnian to the Lu family because of the rich and prosperous future he promised, he still chose to believe in Lu Baisheng and Jiang Rui.

Because he didn't want to cause trouble to Zhang Jinnian.

"Wen Qian, your brother passed away young, your father has never had a holiday, and Yan Chao's child is a naughty and useless child. The Lu family can only rely on you to support it."

When the Lu family was in turmoil and at its most difficult time, he took over the banner of the Lu family.

"Wen Qian, we have failed the Shen family in this marriage between Yan Chao and the Shen family. Yan Chao is still young and has a shallow vision. You have always been a person who knows the basics, not for anything else, even if it is for your brother, your father, and For our Lu family’s century-old reputation, why not marry the daughter of the Shen family for Yan Chao.”

In Jiang Rui's eyes, Lu Yanchao will always be a child who will never grow up, but she is still one year younger than him. "Wen Qian, you have been working hard all day long on the affairs of the Lu family. When you finally get back to your house, come and have a meal in my mother's courtyard. Seeing that you are getting married, I am afraid that my mother will want to love you in the future. How much more scruples do you have to worry about?”

That was the first time he felt Jiang Rui's heartfelt concern. He thought she wanted to make up for her debt to him and didn't want to create a rift with her, so he finally put down his guard and went to Qishuang Courtyard.

It is said that being kind is not as great as raising kindness.

He had always regarded Jiang Rui as his biological mother, but he never thought that this woman regarded him as a chess piece, and she was a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.

It turned out that she had been colluding with Mrs. Hua for a long time.

Thinking of those sad past events, Lu Wenqian didn't know how to face Sanniang anymore, and silently pushed the wheelchair back to the inner courtyard.

"Second brother."

Lu Junwan's voice was trembling, and she watched him leave in a lonely manner.

She knew that the rift between her second brother and her mother was difficult to resolve, and she didn't know why her mother treated her second brother so cruelly.

It is said that the poison of a tiger cannot eat its seeds. Even if she risked offending Mrs. Hua and offending the emperor, the mother should not have helped Mrs. Hua harm her second brother.

Lu Wenjing had also seen the clues and guessed that his brother's last poisoning must be related to his aunt's mother.

The elder brother has always respected his aunt, and has been almost obedient to her these years.

Only those who have experienced it will understand the heartache of being betrayed and betrayed by the person you are closest to and most trusted.

"Three sisters."

Seeing the mother and son in such trouble, Lu Wenjing felt sad.

"Second brother is tired after these years, let him have a rest."

Looking around at everyone, he sighed deeply and said: "Second brother can't threaten Yan Chao now, let alone the Holy Empress. After all, it is Er sister-in-law and Shen's cousin who saved the empress' life. She should He will not repay kindness with hatred but instead come to hate his second brother and his second sister-in-law."

Qu Yunchu silently listened to the conversation between the brothers and sisters, still enjoying the food on the table with relish.

As for whether Mrs. Hua would be grateful to her, she didn't have extravagant expectations, but after this incident, Liu Quan would be extremely stupid if he still couldn't see the situation clearly.

"Zhiyi, what happened today? Why did the mysterious man in front of you suddenly turn into Laixi?"

Until now, Lu Junwan was still confused about many things.

"It's just a blindfold."

Qu Yunchu laughed.

She didn't want this simple girl to know too much about the underworld.

Jiang Yunching felt that his second sister-in-law was becoming more and more mysterious now, and he didn't want to let her go, so he curled his lips dissatisfiedly and said:

"Second sister-in-law, are you hiding something in your heart? I see that you and the cousin of the Shen family seem to have known that Yan Chao had hidden the evil Taoist priest for a long time, and they deliberately wanted to embarrass the Holy Empress and Yan Chao."

"Lu Jiangshi, are you finished?"

Lu Junwan glared at his son-in-law fiercely: "The Yan Dynasty harbored imperial criminals and wanted to plot evil. As the Emperor's wet nurse, the Holy Queen also protected and connived at the evil Taoist priest and caused trouble to everyone. They are entirely responsible for what happened today." , who can you blame?"

"indeed so."

Lu Wenjing didn't know about changing his fate at all, he only thought that Lu Yanchao wanted to use magic to get rid of Liu Quan for the Lu family.

"Liu Zhizao is an imperial envoy after all. Yan Chao used such vicious methods to murder him. If word of this reaches the imperial court, our entire Lu family will probably be executed."

Thinking of this, Lu Wenjing sighed.

When Qu Yun first heard this, he just smiled indifferently.

I'm afraid if they knew Lu Yanchao's true intention to harm Liu Quan, they would be scared to the point of weakness.
