The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily
Chapter 309 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
"What you said..."
Lu Yitong came in from outside, glanced down at Baoyue who was keeping her head down and silent, smiled and slowly came to Xiao Qintang's bedside, and sighed: "Qintang, this child is not yours alone. I am the child's biological father. Don't I know how to love the child?"
Waving his hand to signal Baoyue to leave, he bent down and teased the little one beside Xiao Qintang's pillow with a loving look on his face, poking her cheek with his hand. At the same time, he whispered to Xiao Qintang: "I have invited a wet nurse. Don't worry, I won't let my daughter starve."
"By the way..."
Lu Yitong smiled and reached out to touch Xiao Qintang's face again, "By the way, I also bought some fish maw and ganoderma lucidum for you, Madam. Madam, you have worked hard giving birth to the child, you should take more supplements..."
"Snapped!"
He pushed Lu Yitong's fingers away.
Xiao Qintang called Baoyue over and asked her to hand the child to the wet nurse to feed her. Then she looked at Lu Yitong with a cold face, "Lu Yitong, you deceived me and lied to me, and indirectly killed my brother and mother. Now, you still have the nerve to talk to me?"
"Qin Tang..."
With a helpless look on his face, Lu Yitong lifted his robe and sat beside Xiao Qintang's bed. He asked Xiao Qintang earnestly, "Qintang, now that things have turned out like this, do you think I won't be sad?
Caught between the law and my relatives, I am sadder than anyone else!
There is no other way. This is the responsibility of the Dali Temple and the responsibility of being an official in the Heavenly Palace. I can't abuse my power for my brother-in-law and for you, and not report it, right?"
"Humph!"
Xiao Qintang sneered, pursed her lips and turned her head away, ignoring him.
"Qin Tang!"
Grabbing Xiao Qintang's fingers, Lu Yitong looked heartbroken. He reminded her earnestly, "Qintang, do you still remember the first time we met?
At that time, you clearly said that you admired my integrity and perseverance.
Your appreciation was my motivation to move forward... I thought you were my confidant, and that you would understand me even if no one in the world understood me... But now, I am still the same me, why did you change your mind..."
"Cough cough..."
As soon as he entered the door, Ruan Yunluo felt annoyed when he heard Lu Yitong's disgusting performance.
She pressed the corners of her mouth, suppressed the urge to sneer, and walked into the inner room with nausea, smiling and comforting, "Brother-in-law, Qin Tang has suddenly experienced a huge change, and she just can't figure it out for a while. Please be patient and give her more time."
"Sister-in-law?"
Seeing Ruan Yunluo coming, Lu Yitong stood up and saluted awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, please forgive me."
"No matter where, we are all family."
Ruan Yunluo sat down with a smile.
After raising her hand to let Lu Yitong sit down, she took the teacup handed to her by Tian Shuangshuang. She lowered her eyes and sipped the tea. After she felt a little relieved, she looked at Lu Yitong and got down to business. "Brother-in-law, you came at the right time. I have something to ask you. I wonder if it's convenient for you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Ugh……"
Ruan Yunluo sighed with embarrassment, "Brother-in-law, you know the current situation of the Xiao family. Chongjing has already gone to the northwest, and Qintang has just given birth... The old lady and Qinyu are about to be buried, but the Xiao family has no one who can see them off.
Brother-in-law, look, can you help me?"
"This……"
Lu Yitong hesitated when he heard this.
He was in a dilemma. Logically speaking, as a son-in-law, he should step forward at this time. But now, with the irreconcilable relationship between the Xiao family and the Hua family, if he really dared to attend the funeral of Xiao Qinyu and Old Madam Xi, he might not be able to report to the Hua family.
But if he really doesn't want to help, there's no reason to refuse.
Although his surname was not Xiao, Old Lady Xi was his mother-in-law after all, and it was he who denounced Xiao Qinyu. Now, he was under the name of sacrificing relatives for the greater good, and others could not say anything, but if he was too ruthless and even refused to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law, wouldn't the so-called sacrificing relatives for the greater good become a self-seeking and greedy attempt to curry favor with the rich and powerful?
No!
We must not let things turn out like this!
Lu Yitong felt nervous. To survive in the officialdom, no matter how absurd one may be in private, one must still be polite, honest, kind, respectful and frugal on the surface. Otherwise, not only will one be laughed at by colleagues, but also by the whole world, and one may even be infamous for eternity...
Forget it, let’s just go to the funeral.
At worst, I can just explain it clearly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tonight.
Be it Xiao Qinyu or Old Madam Xi, they all died at his hands. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Hua family know this better than anyone else.
He has killed people, and now he is just pretending to be good for the sake of worldly eyes. I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Hua family will be suspicious and angry over such a small matter...
Thinking of this, Lu Yitong nodded happily and said to Ruan Yunluo with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by help or not? We are all family. If you can use me in any way, just use me.
I will never refuse anything I can do."
"I knew you were sensible, brother-in-law."
Ruan Yunluo looked delighted.
She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and sipped her tea, then slowly said the key point, "Brother-in-law, I will leave the funeral arrangements in the next two days to you..."
"Two days from now?"
Lu Yitong was shocked when he heard this.
Straightening his back anxiously, he reminded with an embarrassed look, "Sister-in-law, isn't the Hua family's funeral in two days? Considering the dispute between us and the Hua family, it's not good for these two times to coincide..."
"Alas, I have no other choice..."
Ruan Yunluo sighed, looking helpless. "Before the Hua family came to make trouble, the old lady was so angry that she died. I think you know. This time, I deliberately arranged the burial time of the old lady and Xiao Qinyu to coincide with the time of the Hua family's funeral, hoping that the Hua family would be busy with the funeral and not come to make trouble again."
"so……"
Ruan Yunluo took the handkerchief handed over by Tian Shuangshuang and wiped the dry corners of his eyes. He choked with sadness and said, "In this way, the old lady and Qinyu can go in peace..."
"But……"
Seeing that Ruan Yunluo had made up her mind, Lu Yitong gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, if you say so, it reminds me. No matter what, Qin Yu died because of me. If I go to his funeral, I'm afraid that he won't be able to leave peacefully with these last words."
"Brother-in-law is joking."
Hearing that Lu Yitong was trying to shirk responsibility and refuse, Ruan Yunluo comforted him generously, "Brother-in-law, as an official of the Dali Temple, it is your duty to enforce the law impartially and hate evil.
Everything you did was neither out of selfishness nor groundless accusations. Qin Yu, if he is still alive, will not hold any grudges against you."
"Can……"
"Okay, let's just leave it at that."
Ruan Yunluo put down the teacup, sighed a little tiredly, and reminded Lu Yitong with an expression that he was doing this for your own good, "Brother-in-law, I chose you to attend the funeral because, on the one hand, the Xiao family has no one else, but on the other hand, am I not thinking about you?
Because you exposed Qin Yu's affairs, many people in the capital are gossiping about you, saying that you are trying to curry favor with the powerful and sacrifice your brother-in-law to please the Hua family.
Of course we know that you are not such a person, but others don't know.
This funeral is a good opportunity to let those gossipers know that our Xiao and Lu families are still as close as one family. Even the Xiao family believes in you and does not blame you, so what right do they have to talk nonsense? If you are really a heartless person, how could the Xiao family let you come to bury Qinyu and the old lady? "
"But……"
"Okay, we are all family, no need to be moved."
Without giving Lu Yitong a chance to refuse, Ruan Yunluo stood up and told Xiao Qintang to take good care of herself, then hurriedly left Haitang Pavilion, using the excuse that she had something to do.
Looking at Ruan Yunluo's back as she left, Lu Yitong was full of worries. He didn't want to continue coaxing Xiao Qintang. He handed over the visiting card and went directly to the East Palace that night...
