When Li heard this, her heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be true!

To be honest, she didn't know whether Qin Shu's death had anything to do with her daughter.

Usually when my daughter came home, she would cry and complain, and she also asked why Qin Shu didn't die.

She has no idea what's going on, and her daughter hasn't discussed the matter with her.

But whether it is true or false, you cannot recognize it.

"You are talking nonsense. My daughter is kind-hearted. She would not even step on an ant to death. She would never kill anyone."

The words were spoken firmly, but there was a sense of guilt in them.

"Oh my God! The gate of Liu Mansion is gone?" a passerby exclaimed.

Someone immediately asked, "Is there anyone else whose door is missing too?"

"Yeah." The man nodded, "The gate to General Lu's mansion is gone, and it's very noisy inside."

When Aunt Cui heard this, the corners of her mouth rose, it seemed that they had also started to take action.

General House

The gate was broken, and from outside one could see two groups of people confronting each other. One group was led by Madam Lu, followed by guards and maids.

These guards looked like they came from the battlefield, and they looked very imposing.

One side was led by Aunt Zhang, followed by maids and old women, and a stern-faced man in tight clothes, Lin Ruquan.

Mrs. Lu is thirty-nine years old, but because she takes good care of herself, she looks like she is in her twenties.

Looking at the person in front of him, the disgust in his eyes seemed to become tangible.

A mere concubine of a merchant actually dared to break into the general's mansion. He really looked down on her.

"Come here, beat them all out for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards behind him rushed forward, and the two maids on Aunt Zhang's side and Lin Ruquan also moved.

The scene instantly became chaotic, and both Aunt Zhang and Madam Lu stepped aside.

Then Aunt Zhang started to curse at me, "You shameless old woman, you black-hearted, rotten-hearted thing.

My daughter-in-law was tortured to death at a young age, and not only was her death not announced, but she was thrown into a mass grave. Your Lu family really has a good family tradition."

Aunt Zhang always remembered Cui's instructions and insisted on taking the Lu family with her, rather than just the general's mansion.

This way it would be easier to drag the Duke's Mansion into the water and let Duke Dingguo come forward.

"Bah, what's this about a century-old family? That's bullshit. With this family tradition, I'm afraid many wives have died in the past hundred years and no one knows about it!"

"After all, they didn't even report the death to anyone."

"You...you..." Mrs. Lu's chest heaved with anger, "What nonsense! Why didn't you announce the death? Don't you know what's going on?"

"I will not recognize a daughter-in-law of a merchant who was forced into this place."

"You want a grand funeral? Forget it. She deserves nothing more than a straw mat..."

"Shut up!"

A majestic and angry voice was heard, and both Aunt Zhang and Madam Lu trembled.

The fight between the two sides stopped, and each returned to their own master.

A group of people walked in from the doorless porch. The leader was tall and slender with a very handsome face. He was a typical handsome uncle.

But there was such coldness in his eyes that made people tremble all over.

He is Duke Dingguo Lu Jingmo, who is in his early fifties but looks like he is in his early forties.

Behind him came in a young man who looked similar to him.

As soon as he came in, the man looked at Madam Lu with contempt. He was the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, Lu Yun, born to his first wife.

There were also some guards following him, and their aura was even stronger than that of the guards in the general's mansion.

Lu Jingmo glanced at Mrs. Lu Wen with cold eyes, then shifted his gaze to Aunt Zhang, and his eyes became gentler.

"My dear, my Lu family was wrong in this matter. I apologize to you here and promise that Qin Shu's funeral will be held according to the standards of a first-rank imperial lady."

"No!" Madam Lu's sharp voice sounded, and she glared at Lu Jingmo, "What kind of person is that? She actually wants to be buried with the specifications of a first-rank imperial lady. Does she deserve it?"

When Aunt Zhang heard her belittling her daughter, she became so angry that her eyes turned red.

"If my son Shu'er is not worthy, then you, an old thing, are even less worthy. You have a corrupt character and a vicious heart. You will definitely go to the eighteenth level of hell after you die."

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she became very angry and her eyes turned red as she looked at Lu Jingmo's aggrieved expression.

"You just watch her slander and humiliate me like this? Don't forget, I'm your wife."

Lu Jingmo frowned, and it was obvious that he was unhappy. No matter what, Wen was his wife, and it was indeed too much to be said like that about her.

But you can't blame them, because they not only did excessive things, but also said excessive things.

"Don't say anything. Set up the mourning hall immediately and inform relatives and friends of the death."

"No!" Madam Lu walked up to Lu Jingmo, pointed at him and said, "You are so good, Lu Jingmo. I was humiliated like this, and you actually wanted to give her daughter some respect."

"You simply can't tell the difference between close and distant."

As Wen spoke, he was shaking with anger.

Lu Jingmo stared at her for a while, then looked at the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, "Why don't you go quickly? Do you want the Duke to do it himself?"

The housekeeper looked at Madam Lu, hesitated for a moment, and then ran away in a hurry.

Lu Jingmo turned his head to Lu Yun and said, "Go and see where your third brother is."

Lu Yun nodded and walked out of the general's mansion.

Lu Jingmo completely ignored Mrs. Lu and glanced at Aunt Zhang.

His gaze stopped on Lin Ruquan with admiration in his eyes. Lin Ruquan nodded expressionlessly as a greeting.

"lady!"

The maid, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were in chaos. It turned out that Mrs. Lu had fainted from anger.

Lu Jingmo waved his hand, "Send your wife down to have a good rest for a few days, and don't come out unless necessary."

Anyone who knows what he means will know immediately. It means confinement. He is probably afraid that the old lady will make a scene at the funeral!

"Uncle Zhong, you stay here for the next few days and take care of the funeral arrangements."

An old man walked out from behind Lu Jingmo, "Yes, Duke."

Aunt Zhang felt relieved when she saw this. She said hello to the Duke and said that the Qin family would come again after the mourning hall was redecorated.

Those who should feel dizzy have felt dizzy, those who should leave have left, and those who should come back have also come back at this time.

Lu Xian looked at his father who was emitting cold air, and without saying a word, he knelt down and apologized.

"Father, I was confused and did this, which brought trouble to the Duke's Mansion and damaged the reputation of the entire Lu family. Please punish me."
