Chapter 43 The invisible Mr. Lu

"gamble?"

Jiang Yunqing's face turned pale with fright, and he said in disbelief, "You don't want to live, and you dare to go to Hongshun Casino to gamble?"

Qu Yunchu didn't pay any attention to him, and walked out the door with Ke Yan and Ji Zhen.

"This woman is crazy, really crazy, she won't be willing to kill herself."

Jiang Yunqing murmured something to himself, and hurried back to Wenshu Pavilion. When he entered the door, he shouted:

"Ma'am, it's terrible, it's terrible, that crazy woman in Fengyage has only been safe for a few days, and today she sneaked out and went to Hongshun Casino to gamble. Earn the money back."

Lu Junwan had just rested in the room, when she heard shouts, she rushed out of the warm pavilion and glared at Jiang Yunqing angrily.

"Lu Jiangshi, don't make false statements and frame the second sister-in-law."

Lu Jun's eyebrows were gleaming, and he didn't believe it even to his death: "Second sister-in-law is from a famous family after all. Even if her family has been in decline for a while, she will never sink to this level."

"Ahem, madam, what did I lie to you for? I heard it with my own ears."

Jiang Yunqing hurried out and called a few servants in to testify for him, only then did Lu Junwan believe his words.

After pondering for a moment, she frowned again and asked, "Does Second Brother know about this?"

"I must have known."

Jiang Yunqing replied: "I saw that Ji Zhen also went with her."

"That's weird."

Lu Junwan was confused.

What exactly does the second brother want to do?
Could it be that he deliberately bullied him, that he didn't dare to control his wife, so he could only let her do whatever she wanted?
Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and glanced at everyone, and said in a sharp voice: "If anyone dares to go out and talk nonsense about this, I will definitely cut out his tongue."

Everyone was afraid for a while, and nodded their heads submissively.

"Go down."

Lu Junwan dismissed everyone and rushed to Fengyage with only Jiang Yunqing.

At this time, Lu Wenqian was still sitting alone in the yard, holding the stove and admiring the wintersweet in the yard.

Hearing footsteps outside, he suddenly turned his head and saw the little sister and brother-in-law stepping in.

"San Niang, why do you have time to come here today?"

Lu Wenqian smiled at her, and asked with an extremely gentle smile.

"It's freezing cold. My second brother is still ill. How can he stay alone in this yard?"

Lu Junwan looked around the cold courtyard, and couldn't help but feel sore: "If the second elder brother is worried, why don't you send some personal people from the younger sister's courtyard to take care of her? Ji Zhen is always a rough person, but that girl is afraid I can’t take care of it again.”

Lu Wenqian shook his head slowly.

After staring blankly at the plum blossoms in front of him for a long time, he suddenly asked: "How is mother?"

"My mother is fine. I think it's because of the infidelity of the two girls, Chunhua and Qiuyi. They are bored in the house these days and don't want to go out."

Lu Junwan replied cautiously.

It also didn't mention that it was because the elder brother frightened the old man by beating two girls to death in the mother's yard.

Lu Wenqian sighed slightly: "After all, I'm old, it might be a good thing to spend more time recuperating in the house."

From the beginning to the end, there was also no mention of visiting Jiang Rui in the past.

Lu Junwan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she really didn't know what the mother and son were having an awkward situation, how they suddenly became strangers, and became what they are now.

"Second brother, Yun Qing came back from Jiangnan with a lot of winter bamboo shoots just dug over there. I remember that second brother likes winter bamboo shoots and cured duck the most. It's just right that my second sister-in-law gave me a lot of snow clam paste yesterday, so I can stew some nourishing soup Soup, this year's Xueha cream is in great demand, why don't we go to mother's yard together and let Yun Qing cook some dishes by himself."

Lu Junwan wanted to use an excuse to invite him to visit his mother, but before she could finish her words, Lu Wenqian stopped her:
"Is Sanniang here today for something else?"

Lu Junwan and Jiang Yunqing looked at each other, not knowing how to mention this matter.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Second elder brother and second sister-in-law are having trouble?"

"What did San Niang say?"

Lu Wenqian probably guessed her reason for coming, but pretended not to know.

Lu Jun smiled and replied: "I heard from Yun Qing that Ji Zhen took his second sister-in-law to Hongshun Casino to gamble."

"That's why."

Lu Wenqian's face was calm and calm: "At most, it's just a matter of losing some money. It's better to let her go out to see the world more, so as not to wander around under my nose all day and be annoying."

"Just because of this reason, elder brother let the second sister-in-law go out to gamble?"

Jiang Yunqing looked at his wife in surprise.

If this is okay, then so can I.

Lu Junwan gave him a hard look, then turned to Lu Wenqian, and patiently persuaded him: "Second brother, knowing that she is the wife you are marrying, and you are unwilling to abandon her, you should live with her in peace. Policy."

Although the Lu family didn't care about such a small amount of money, if the word "gambling" was used, no matter how big the family business was, it would be ruined one day, not to mention that behind the Hongshun gambling house was the Chen family, the Lu family's formidable rival.

"There's no need to mention this matter again, just leave it to her."

Lu Wenqian smiled slightly and said: "Don't talk about the Lu family, the money saved in the Xiyuan Bank over the years alone is enough to buy dozens of Hongshun gambling houses, how capable she is of ruining my family fortune. "

After a pause, he deliberately added: "She has been lucky these few days, so she might be able to earn back the money I folded in."

Lu Junwan was speechless.

Even Jiang Yunqing who was on the side was dumbfounded.

This is not the usual style of the second brother.

I really don't know what he is planning.

The eldest brother Lu Wenbing passed away suddenly, and his parents were heartbroken. After a while, they found out that their mother was pregnant again. After giving birth to himself and his second brother, his father felt grateful to God and to celebrate the late birth of his son, he specially founded Xiyuan Silver. He made a rule to deposit 50 taels of silver into the bank every year as his second brother's private treasury.

After so many years, he has indeed accumulated a wealth of property. After taking over as the head of the family, he expanded the Lu family's property several times. He thought he would lead the Lu family to a new peak, but he never thought that he would experience a serious illness. Later, he chose to retreat bravely and took the lead in promoting evil trends.

If this continues, the Lu family will be eroded by people sooner or later.

Lu Junwan couldn't understand such a second brother, and was even a little disappointed.

Sighing silently, she turned around and left Fengyage.

Watching the couple disappear around the corner, Lu Wenqian came back to his senses, broke off a plum blossom, held it in his hand and played with it. After wandering around the courtyard for a moment, Lu Wenqian's ink-like eyes suddenly turned firmly to the east.

It was almost evening at this time, Qu Yunchu sat in the carriage, stopped and stopped, eating, drinking and having fun all the way, finally arrived at the legendary Hongshun Casino.

Listening to the roaring noise inside, her thoughts suddenly became a little messy.

In my impression, Lu Wenqian is a person who is very careful about gains and losses, and he has a very long-term vision.

Just talking about the Qujiacun incident, it seemed that he had paid a heavy price, but in fact he made a huge profit. He not only eliminated the hidden worries, but also had complete control over the snow clam cream in Qujiacun.

It is precisely because he knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and is smart and decisive, that the Lu family can be more brilliant in his hands.

But after his serious illness, not only she, but the whole Lu family couldn't understand many things he did.

It's unbelievable no matter how you think about it, it's obvious that you can drive yourself out of the mansion directly, but you insist on staying in Fengyage and ruining his family for him.

The outgoing Patriarch retreated bravely to build a golden body for the ancestor of Xuandu Guan, and the nobles in the palace were about to visit Yanyang City. She connected this series of things, and after much deliberation, she came to the most powerful conclusion:
He was clearly showing weakness on purpose.

I'm afraid it's all related to the unspecified poisoning.
