Although Zhang Feng explained, it was obvious that the old lady did not buy it and still pointed the finger at Lu Yu.

"Daughter-in-law Yun'er, you are the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, and you have a lot of things to take care of. You don't need to remind me of such a small matter."

"She should be the one who takes care of it. Even if she is young and ignorant, isn't there still a maidservant? Or are all the maidservants in the Qin family ignorant?"

"But it is also true. The Qin family is a merchant family after all. How can they train sensible people?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have raised a girl who was so shameless as to force her into marriage."

The maids behind Lu Yu all had ferocious eyes. This old woman didn't want to live anymore!

The air pressure around Lu Yu had dropped to zero. Looking at the old woman in front of him, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Sister-in-law, have you said enough?" Lu Jingmo scolded coldly, "Is this what you, as an elder, should say?"

"What do you mean by forced marriage? That was a marriage granted by His Majesty's decree. Do you mean that His Majesty forced Qin Shu to marry him, or forced Lu Xian to marry him?"

"Grandfather, please don't say anything. Let her continue. Xiaoyuer wants to hear what else she has to say!"

Lu Yu's voice sounded cold and without any emotion.

Lu Jingmo frowned. The little guy was very angry. Although he looked calm, he could feel that he might have murderous intentions.

Lu Yu's provocative and disrespectful words made Lu Jingrong's family change their faces.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Yu was either contempt or disgust.

Liu slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Lu Yu and scolding, "What kind of tone are you talking about? Is this how you treat your elders?"

"What's the matter? Are you not convinced and think that I was wrong?"

She walked up to Lu Yu and pointed a finger at him sarcastically, "Everyone in the capital knows that your mother is shameless..."

"Bang!" The sound of porcelain falling to the ground and shattering was heard, interrupting Liu's words.

Everyone was startled, and looking at the broken cup on the ground, everyone knew who had smashed it.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Lu Jingmo, only to see that his face had turned completely black.

He glanced at Liu with his sharp eyes, "Sister-in-law, this is my country's mansion. Lu Yu is my granddaughter, Lu Jingmo. It's not your turn to teach her a lesson."

Liu was frightened by his aura. She trembled her lips several times but no sound came out.

Although Lu Jingrong is the eldest brother, he has been afraid of his younger brother since he was a child and did not even dare to fight for the position of Duke. Now seeing him get angry, he wishes he could find a hole to crawl into.

When Lu Hai saw Lu Jingmo's attitude, he couldn't help feeling unhappy. After all, his mother was his sister-in-law.

Such an inconsiderate scolding showed that he did not take their eldest wife seriously at all.

When his wife, Ms. Sun, saw her husband’s clenched fists, she knew that he was angry with the Duke.

Fearing that he would do something impulsive and affect his future, she apologized first, "Second Uncle, don't be angry. Mother-in-law is so angry because of the bad comments about the Lu family outside, and she took her anger out on Xiao Yu'er."

After that, she walked towards Lu Yu with a smile and said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Yu'er, don't be angry with your great grandmother. Your great grandmother just loves your father."

"You fart!"

Sun Niaoniao was stunned. How could this child be so rude and impolite?

Lu Hai shot Lu Yu an unfriendly look.

Lu Yu snorted coldly. She didn't accept her explanation. "Feeling sorry for my father? I think you feel sorry for Liu Yuzhu's concubine! It's as if I didn't know that the old woman was a relative of Liu Yuzhu's family."

When she said this, everyone except Lu Jingmo was shocked.

First they said Liu Yuzhu was a concubine, but it was clearly her second wife.

Later, calling Liu an old woman was simply outrageous.

Everyone present had grown up under strict etiquette, and no younger person would dare to contradict their elders, no matter what their elders were like.

After the shock, some people were secretly happy, while others were so angry that they wanted to hit someone.

The ones who were secretly happy were the people from the Duke's Mansion, whether it was Lu Yun or Lu Chuan, or Zhang Feng or Qian Rong, or the three little ones.

They all hated Liu.

Because there were no female elders in the Duke's Mansion, and the Duke's wife also moved out with Lu Xian, there was no woman in the mansion who was older than Liu.

She often took advantage of her seniority to get things done, and Zhang Feng didn't want to give her face, but there happened to be an old ancestor living in the main house, and this old ancestor was the Duke's mother, Yuan.

Lu Jingrong was not ambitious and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. He knew that the old Duke didn't like him, so he tried hard to please his mother.

Sure enough, due to his flattery, Yuanshi liked Lu Jingrong very much, so she had different opinions on Lu Jingmo's inheritance of the title.

What she meant was that the eldest son should be appointed as the heir.

The old Duke refused on the grounds that Lu Jingrong had no ability.

Yuan also said that it was because Lu Jingrong had no ability to earn a future that he should inherit the title.

But Lu Jingmo has the ability to earn a future for himself.

This statement must have made the old Duke very angry. The glory of the Duke's Mansion must not be lost in Lu Jingrong's hands.

He resolutely let Lu Jingmo inherit the title.

From then on, Yuanshi became estranged from the old Duke.

The old Duke didn't tolerate him and treated him coldly for more than ten years. Before he died, he divided the family property.

As for which son Yuan wants to follow, it is up to her to decide.

Yuan Shi initially chose to live in the Duke's Mansion. Although she did not like her son Lu Jingmo, he was the Duke, and she wanted to continue enjoying this glory and wealth.

What to do! Lu Jingmo is not an ordinary person at all. He said: Mother can live here, but you are not allowed to interfere in anything in the mansion. Mother just needs to live in peace and enjoy her old age.

Yuan was furious when she heard this, but she still stayed. In her opinion, even though Lu Jingmo said so, if she really cared, what could he do?

But she wanted to be in charge, but no one listened to her and she couldn't even leave the yard.

Only then did she realize how cruel her son was.

She sent someone to threaten him, saying that he would be sued for being unfilial. Lu Jingmo replied lightly: My eldest brother's personality is not suitable for staying in the capital.

With just these words, Yuan became obedient.

Not to mention suing him for being unfilial, she even refused to stay in the Duke's Mansion and changed her mind to live in Lu Jingrong's mansion.

After leaving the house, someone asked her why she didn't live in the Duke's Mansion. She didn't dare to discredit Lu Jingmo, and only said that as a father and mother, they should live with their eldest son in their old age.

After years of silence, although she still remembered what happened, she was still unwilling to give in. Every time Liu came to the Duke's Mansion to make decisions, she would use Yuan's name.

In the Duke's Mansion, apart from Duke Lu Jingmo, no one dared to disrespect Yuan, the oldest person in the family.

"What are you talking about, you little bastard!" Liu immediately rushed up, and her aggressive attitude showed that she was going to hit Lu Yu.

Lu Yu clenched his hand into a fist, with excitement in his eyes, he could cripple the old man's leg.

But in the end, the expectations were dashed.

She was lifted up, but Liu missed and almost fell down. Fortunately, she was caught by the maid who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

Lu Yu tilted his head and looked unhappily at the person who was carrying him. It was his grandfather.

Lu Jingmo glanced at her with a warning look in his eyes.

Lu Yu glared at him angrily.
