The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

Everything is normal in the Dali Temple.

After clearing out all of Xiao Qinyu's things, Lu Yitong seemed reluctant but was actually very impatient and quickly moved into Xiao Qinyu's former study.

Sitting in the office study that belongs exclusively to the Dali Temple Chief.

Lu Yitong sat on a chair, drank a cup of tea, hummed a tune in a happy mood, and time soon came to noon.

In order to get rid of bad luck and get closer to his colleagues, before lunch that day, when all the officials gathered, Lu Yitong smiled and suggested, "Everyone, I have been working at the Dali Temple until now, thanks to your support and help... It just so happens that I have reserved a table at Songhe Tower. After I get off work tonight, I will host a meal for all of us colleagues. How about we get together?"

"Hahaha, Master Lu is so expensive..."

Some sophisticated officials in the crowd had already understood that Lu Yitong had connected with the Hua family through his promotion. Seeing Lu Yitong's initiative to show his goodwill, they naturally smiled and said, "Lord Lu has invited us so kindly, we will naturally accept..."

"Haha, then tonight, I will be waiting for you all..."

Lu Yitong was in high spirits and exchanged a few words with everyone with a smile.

When his eyes swept over Xu Wanchou who was walking past him with an expressionless face, he frowned slightly, and forced a magnanimous smile to invite Xu Wanchou, saying, "Master Xu, I'll host you at Songhe Tower tonight. How about you join us?"

"No need."

Xu Wanchou stopped and declined without any emotion: "My ancestor is not feeling well. I am afraid I will not be able to attend this banquet. Just enjoy yourself."

After saying that, he nodded, greeted everyone politely, and left quickly.

Xu Wanchou rejected Lu Yitong so straightforwardly, on the one hand, of course, because he was too lazy to argue with Lu Yitong because they were on different paths. On the other hand, it was true that his grandfather, Marshal Xu, had been in poor health recently, and he wanted to go back to spend more time with his grandfather.

But in Lu Yitong's eyes, this action seemed like a great humiliation.

"This……"

Seeing Lu Yitong's face suddenly turn gloomy, the officials looked at each other.

They didn't know why Lu Yitong was so angry, and thought there was some unknown conflict between him and Xu Wanchou...

Although everyone knew that Lu Yitong had hooked up with the Crown Prince and the Hua family, as the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, Xu Wanchou is after all the Dali Temple officials' immediate superior...

Afraid that the gods would fight and the little ghosts would suffer, and afraid that they would accidentally stand on the same side, everyone silently prayed to protect themselves, and made excuses, and temporarily declined Lu Yitong's invitation...

"Hey, you guys..."

Looking at the officials leaving in a hurry, Lu Yitong felt annoyed.

He gritted his teeth, quickly chased Xu Wanchou to the gate of the Dali Temple, stretched out his hand to stop Xu Wanchou's carriage that was about to go to lunch, and asked in a low voice with great dissatisfaction: "Master Xu, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can just say it directly. There is no need to target me again and again and embarrass me."

"Lord Lu, you're overthinking. I have no complaints against you..."

"I have nothing to complain about, so why do you keep rejecting me and embarrassing me in front of everyone?"

"This is my personality, Lord Lu, don't mind it."

Xu Wanchou frowned slightly while sitting in the carriage, and added: "Next time Lord Lu has a banquet, just skip me. I have no interest in banquets. Besides, this Dali Temple is a place for us as officials to share the worries of His Majesty, not a place to drink and make friends.

We just need to do our best to serve the emperor, and Lord Lu doesn't need to worry about the rest."

"You look down on me and think I'm unworthy of being your friend?"

Lu Yitong was hit on the sore spot by his own guess, and frowned, "Master Xu, I didn't expect you to be so conceited! I just treat you as an ordinary colleague and want to get along with you, but you think I'm just trying to be your friend?

Haha, although I, Lu Yitong, come from a humble background and cannot compare to you young masters from aristocratic families, at least I passed the imperial examination and became a juren.

I have studied hard for ten years, relying on no one but my hard work and talent to get to where I am today. Why do you look down on us scholars?"

"You think too much."

Seeing that Lu Yitong had been controlled by his own emotions and fantasies, and had fallen into the dilemma of inferiority and arrogance, Xu Wanchou frowned and felt that there was no need to waste any more time talking to him.

He turned around and knocked on the inner wall of the carriage, signaling the driver to set off.

The driver nodded and was about to leave.

At this time, Lu Yitong, who felt that he was being ignored, could no longer bear it. He grabbed the window frame of Xu Wanchou's carriage and sneered at Xu Wanchou, "Humph, Xu Wanchou, you are afraid of me, right? You are afraid that I will be too fast and take your place, right?"

"I fear you?"

Xu Wanchou was stunned for a moment when asked.

Then, as if he heard something very interesting, he narrowed his eyes, smiled and looked Lu Yitong up and down.

His eyes flashed with disdain, and he nodded with a raised lip corner, "Yes, I am afraid of you. A man who would even sacrifice his own brother-in-law for his future..."

When Xu Wanchou said this, his eyes suddenly glanced behind Lu Yitong.

Seeing Xiao Qintang's figure in the corner behind him, and glancing at Xiao Qintang's bulging belly, Xu Wanchou paused.

"never mind……"

Xu Wanchou sighed, "You have nothing to be ashamed of, just be a good person, there is no need to care about what I think of you..."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Xu Wanchou seem to say that he was a bad person, Lu Yitong jumped up and explained, "I know that you have a problem with me because of Xiao Qinyu's case, but..."

"okay."

Xu Wanchou raised his hand to stop.

Glancing behind Lu Yitong again, Xu Wanchou frowned and warned again, "Just keep this to yourself. There's no need to explain it to me."

"Why not!"

Lu Yitong said with a righteous face, "Yes, that's right, I did report my brother-in-law. But I did it for the sake of the court and the people, and I was just handling the case impartially!

How do I know Xiao Qinyu will commit suicide?

How could I know that my mother-in-law would be too sad..."

"What, what suicide..."

When Xiao Qintang heard this, her head suddenly buzzed, her heart started beating fast, and her legs suddenly went limp.

Holding on to her last bit of sanity, she supported Baoyue, held her belly, and moved in front of Lu Yitong in a daze.

As if in a dream, she saw herself with tears on her face grabbing Lu Yitong's clothes and asking, "What, what suicide? When did my brother commit suicide! Why did he commit suicide!

And my mother, please tell me clearly, what happened to my mother..."
