Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

Si Yungui appeared in the capital when he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi at the age of 20. Before that, the Si family had always claimed that he was in poor health and had been raised in Yuzhou.

If Si Yungui is really his elder brother, it means that after he left the Lu family, in order to prevent people from discovering that he is the eldest son of the Lu family, he went to another place to grow up and then came back.

Thinking that Si Yungui and his wife had no children yet and had not taken a concubine, they seemed to be in no hurry.

Suddenly, a terrible guess came to my mind. If Lu Qing is not Lu Jingmo's child, then Lu Hai, Lu Kong, and Lu Rui might not be Lu Jingrong's children either.

But it’s Si Yungui’s child?

People in the world think that being childless is unfilial, but neither the Si family nor Si Yungui seemed to care.

That only means that they have children, but they are not around to raise them.

The above were all his guesses. In order to confirm it more, he asked Lu Jingrong again.

"You are sure that Lu Qing is not your daughter, so the other three children are yours?"

When this question was brought up, Lu Jingrong became completely depressed. "I don't know. After I suspected Lu Qing, my mother locked me up when Liu Yue gave birth again. She said she was afraid that I would talk nonsense."

It's confirmed, there's a high probability that those three aren't his children. Lu Jingmo was furious, but at the same time he also sympathized with the Lu Jingmo in front of him.

She was used as a substitute and all her children were swapped out, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Well, not all of them were necessarily switched. Since Liu was also a member of Yuan's group, it was possible that Liu was faking her pregnancy just to bring the real Lu Jingrong's child back to the Lu family.

I used to wonder why people like Lu Jingmo and Liu would have four such outstanding children. Now I understand, because none of the four are their children.

"Who raised Lu Qing, Lu Rui, Lu Hai, and Lu Kong from childhood to adulthood?"

"Madame Yang is responsible for teaching Qingqing and Ruirui, and Mr. Guichao is responsible for teaching Haier and Konger."

"Where are Madam Yang and Mr. Guichao now?"

"In the mansion."

Lu Jingmo looked up into the air and saw a shadow flash by and leave the house.

After a while, a man in black came to report that Nanny Yang and Mr. Guichao were not in the mansion.

Lu Jingmo looked at Lu Jingrong, and Lu Jingrong also looked confused.

Lu Jingmo knew that they probably ran away after Yuanshi got into trouble.

"Get up and take us to see Liu." Lu Jingmo walked to Lu Jingrong and said this.

Lu Jingrong was very timid, but not too stupid. From all the conversations just now, he knew most of the things. He walked in front with his head hung, leading the way.

In fact, he was not sad, but felt a sense of relief. Every time Liu Yue went to provoke the Duke's Mansion, he was terrified. In this mansion, although he was the master, not many people took him seriously.

When he arrived at Liu's courtyard, Lu Jingrong immediately found something wrong. Why was it so quiet?

Ever since all of Liu Yue's teeth were knocked out and her legs were crippled, she has been screaming and screaming day and night to vent her anger.

It's not right that it's so quiet at this moment, and there's only an old woman who's half-blind and mute in the yard. Where are the other maids?

Lu Jingmo and Lu Yu also noticed something was wrong. Lu Jingmo said to Lu Jingrong, "Go in and take a look."

Lu Jingrong nodded seriously, "Yes."

After opening the door, he screamed and backed away before he even stepped one foot in.

Lu Jingmo strode to the door, looked inside, and was also shocked by the scene inside.

The whole room was filled with dead bodies, but there was no trace of blood; they were all strangled to death.

He turned his head to look at the half-blind woman in the yard. The half-blind woman was crying, and her unclear eyes were looking straight at Lu Jingrong.

Lu Jingrong walked towards her with a friendly attitude, "Grandma Wang, do you know what happened here?"

The half-blind woman said nothing, just looked at Lu Jingrong with tears in her eyes while smiling. Then she walked towards Lu Jingmo and knelt down.

After bowing three times, she picked up a stone and wrote something on the ground.

Lu Yu squatted down and watched her write. Her hands were shaking and her handwriting was crooked.

But Lu Yu still could make out those words.

(He is my son.)

After writing, the half-blind and mute old woman pointed at Lu Jingrong.

Lu Jingmo naturally also saw that line of words, and when he learned of this fact, he was not too shocked.

The three of them looked at Lu Jingrong.

Lu Jingrong was far away and couldn't see the words on the ground, and he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the three of them.

The half-blind and mute old woman stood up and walked towards Lu Jingrong, wanting to reach out to pull him, but then retracted her hand and waved at him, motioning him to follow her.

Lu Jingrong did not follow, but looked at Lu Jingmo. Lu Jingmo and Lu Yu did not speak, but followed the old woman directly.

Seeing them follow, Lu Jingrong followed.

Following the old woman to a servant's room, she opened the door and waved to Lu Jingrong.

Lu Jingmo pushed Lu Jingrong and walked into the room, where he smelled a pungent smell.

With a casual glance, I saw a person lying on the bed in the room.

The old woman lifted the quilt and saw a curled up woman inside.

Lu Jingrong recognized this person at a glance as Lu Hai's concubine Qiyue.

At this moment, her eyes were unfocused and tears were flowing silently.

The old woman grabbed Qiuyue's hand, stroked the scar on her hand, and kept yelling at Lu Jingrong.

Before Lu Jingrong could react, Lu Jingmo had thought of something and said, "This woman must be the real Lu Qing."

The old woman nodded in surprise.

Lu Jingrong stood there in a daze, his mind full of scenes of meeting this maid before.

Every time I look at him with disdain.

But who would have thought that she was his real daughter?

He cried loudly, moved step by step to the bed, looked at Qiuyue's tearful face, and burst into tears.

He cried loudly, and the girl on the bed cried even more.

Lu Jingmo took Xiao Yuer out, leaving the space for this real family of three.

After a long time, the three of them walked out together.

Looking at Lu Jingrong's expression, the cowardly feeling was gone, and there was only anger.

He walked up to Lu Jingmo and knelt down, "Duke, I am not your elder brother. I was stolen by them and impersonated as the eldest son of the Lu family."

"Also, the death of Liu Yue and those maids..."

Qiyue said calmly: "I killed them all."

Afterwards, they told everything without reservation, and what they said confirmed all of Lu Jingmo's previous speculations.

The half-blind and mute old woman is Lu Jingrong's biological mother, and is from the side branch of the Si family.

Her husband is a hunter with some skills, and she herself knows some medical skills. The couple goes hunting while the other treats the villagers.

Life is pretty good.

However, something unexpected happened and Lu Jingrong was kidnapped when he was nine years old. His husband tracked down the case and finally found the Lu family.

Thinking of the huge power of the Lu family, he did not dare to act rashly, so he thought of asking the direct branch of the Si family for help.

But once he entered the Si Mansion, her husband never came out again.

Mrs. Wang sensed something was wrong, but she did not go to the Si family to ask for the person, nor did she report the case in a big way.

Instead, he escaped, changed his name, disfigured himself and poisoned himself to become a slave in the Duke's Mansion relying on his excellent cooking skills.

Knowing that her son had become the eldest son of the Lu family, she was not very happy, but became even more scared.

Because his son didn't remember anything.

She didn't dare to act rashly, so she just worked as a servant in Lu's house, secretly visiting her son.

She is one of the few people in the mansion who has good intentions towards Lu Jingrong.

This was also the reason why Lu Jingrong was so friendly to her before they met.
