Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

A total of four orders were issued, the first of which was to drain the artificial pond at Lu Mansion.

According to the information given by Mrs. Wang, someone would sink a few boxes into the pond of the Lu Mansion almost every six months.

The second is to find a way to find out whether Si Yungui has any scars on his back.

The third is to go to Yuzhou to investigate everything about Si Yungui’s life.

The fourth is to find out how Lu Qing and Lu Rui married into the Gu family and the Xin prince's mansion, and at the same time find out if there is anything special about the Gu family and the Xin prince's mansion.

Of the four orders, only the first was completed three hours after it was given.

There was indeed a passage under the pond. Lu Jingmo sent people to investigate where the passage led to, and finally found it at the Bishui River.

The Bishui River is a river that runs through the capital city. Noblemen and ladies from famous families often cruise on the river in pleasure boats.

In a place like this, it is really difficult to find out who took away the boxes that were shipped out.

At the suggestion of Mrs. Wang, Lu Jingrong checked the storerooms in the mansion and found that except for Sun Niaoniao's dowry, there was no other cash or jewelry.

However, the deeds to the shops and farms that were originally separated from the Duke's Mansion are still there.

He gave it to Lu Jingmo immediately, but when Lu Jingmo heard that there was no silver or money in the mansion and only these land deeds, his face turned ugly.

When he got the title, his father gave most of the family wealth to Lu Jingrong.

Not to mention the gold, silver and jewelry that were distributed, just the shops and farms also brought in a huge profit every year.

With such a huge fortune, there is no cash left. I guess those boxes are the gold and silver being transported.

He didn't know who it was given to, but he could guess that the person who needed so much gold and silver must have a huge ambition.

Looking at the land deed in his hand, Lu Jingmo's eyes were cold, "Brother, these shops and farms need to be reorganized."

Lu Jingrong understood as soon as he heard it. These shops and farms were previously managed by the Yuan and Liu families, and no one knew if there were people with ulterior motives in the shops and farms.

But these were all Lu family’s things. Now that he knew he was not a member of the Lu family, how could he take them away?

Then he looked at Lu Jingmo and said, "Duke, please take these deeds back!"

Lu Jingmo put the title deeds into the box and said, "These are the compensation for you and your family. Just keep them. As for sorting out these shops and farms, I will send people to help you."

After saying that, he left.

Lu Jingrong looked at Lu Jingmo's back, his eyes gradually turned red. He was so lucky to have such a 'second brother'.

While waiting for other news and the arrival of Taoist Xizu, Lu Yu practiced horse stance every day to lay the foundation.

During this period, Lu Jingrong followed Lu Jingmo's instructions completely and exposed Liu's child-swapping and fake pregnancy.

At the same time, it was also announced to the public that Lu Hai, Lu Kong, Lu Qing and Lu Rui were not children of the Lu family, and everyone knew about it.

Lu Qing who was at Gu Mansion and Lu Rui who was at Prince Xin Mansion also got the news. They were panicked when they first heard the news, but they were not angry about being slandered.

As you can imagine, they all know their own life stories.

Sun Niaoniao from the Taifu Mansion also received the news and found it incredible.

How could my husband and his family not be members of the Lu family?

If not, whose children are they?

Why did Liu do this?

She wanted to find out, but was locked up by the order of the Grand Tutor. The Duke said it very clearly that Lu Hai was dead and Sun Niaoniao had escaped, so this matter had nothing to do with her.

After this incident broke out, the first to bear the brunt were not the children of the Lu family, but the Liu family.

In the court, Lu Jingrong cried and complained about the evil deeds of the Liu family, and the Liu family was immediately put in the spotlight.

Not only are there accusations about character, there are also heavier suspicions.

The Lu family of the Duke's Mansion is the backbone of the Hua Dynasty. What is the purpose of replacing the Lu family's offspring in this way? None of the ministers or the emperor know.

But if you just think about it, it’s really terrifying.

Everyone speculated that the reason why the child replaced was Lu Jingrong's child instead of the Duke's Mansion's child was because it was probably extremely difficult to replace the Duke's Mansion's child.

That's why I chose Lu Jingrong.

However, the Gu family and the Liu family also raised doubts and asked Lu Jingrong what evidence he had.

Lu Jingrong was usually a coward, but this time he stood up, took ruthless action on himself, and sterilized himself.

He did this for two reasons. The first was that he was afraid that others would raise doubts. Everyone around Liu had been killed, and there was no one who could testify.

I can only create evidence myself.

The second purpose was that he did not want to take over the identity of Lu's family and leave offspring.

I asked Lu Jingmo for the sterilization drug. Lu Jingmo had capable people on his side, so it was easy for him to make a drug that would prevent the doctor from finding out when the baby was sterilized.

The Gu and Liu families who had raised the question could no longer refute it after the doctor examined Lu Jingrong's body.

Lu Jingmo took note of everyone's expressions and knew that there must be something wrong with the Gu and Liu families.

Si Yungui didn't react at all during the whole process. Lu Jingmo didn't think it had nothing to do with him, he just thought he was hiding it too deeply.

As for Prince Xin, Lu Jingmo has already confirmed that he has nothing to do with those people behind him.

Ever since he found out that Lu Rui was not a member of the Lu family, Prince Xin looked disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

There was a flattering look in the eyes when he looked at Lu Jingmo.

Lu Jingmo thought that the reason why he married Lu Rui was probably because he wanted to hook up with him. However, who knew that Lu Rui was not a member of the Lu family. Not only did he fail to hook up with him, he might also offend the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Prince Xin returned home, he demoted Lu Rui from a concubine to a concubine, and took the initiative to transport her dowry back to the Lu family.

What this means is that all these dowries belong to the Lu family, and it is inappropriate for you, who is not from the Lu family, to take the dowry from the Lu family.

And now she is a concubine and does not deserve a dowry.

After Lu Rui cried and made a fuss to no avail, she ran out of the house. She ran all the way, and Lu Jingmo's men followed behind her.

Just as she was about to run to Si's house, she stopped after someone passed by her.

Then he walked back with a gloomy look. No one who could be around Lu Jingmo was stupid.

As soon as he saw this situation, he immediately knew that the man must have said something to Lu Rui, which made her give up the idea of ​​going to Si's house.

So, he immediately followed the person who passed by Lu Rui, but no one expected that the person was hit and killed by the carriage in a moment.

The man who hit the person to death was also shocked and kept shouting, "It wasn't me who hit him, it was him who hit him."

Others don’t know what’s going on, but Lu Jingmo’s people know.

This man must have known that someone was targeting him, so he committed suicide.

But this also further proves that the Si family is not simple.

Lu Kong, who was far away in the frontier, had no idea that he had been expelled from the family tree.

However, Lu Jingmo had no intention of letting him go, and he directly told the emperor that he guessed the person behind the child swap was most likely an enemy country.

This sentence made Hua Chenyi break out in a cold sweat. If it was true, then Lu Kong would not be able to stay in the army.

Lu Jingmo probably knew whose children the four siblings were, but Hua Chenyi didn't know. He was really worried that they were spies, so he secretly sent Dragon Guards to investigate their backgrounds.

The action of Prince Xin's Mansion in returning the dowry was grand and received praise from many people.

Seeing this situation, the Gu family had no choice but to return the dowry, but Lu Qing was still the wife of the Gu family's eldest son.

Prince Gu specifically came out to explain and support Lu Qing, saying that although Lu Qing was no longer a member of the Lu family, she was still his wife and the mother of his child.

These words also gained a wave of goodwill.

The Liu family was in a miserable situation. Their remaining daughters could not get married, and their married daughters were questioned by their husband's families, who began to doubt whether the children were their own.

The only one who was not affected was Liu Yuzhu.

Lu Yu also welcomed two old monster masters, who were carried into the Duke's Mansion.

The two old men had white hair and beards, their skin was like dry bark, and their bodies were extremely thin.

Lu Yu looked at Lin Shengwen, his eyes full of questions, are you sure it's them? Are you kidding me?

Lin Shengwen smiled, pointed at one of them and introduced him, "This is Yu Yidao, the former leader of Kongtong Sect, he is 120 years old."

Lu Yu bowed and greeted politely.

He pointed to another person and introduced him: This is Zhang Jidong, the former head of the Zhang family in Pizhou, he is 116 years old.

Lu Yu greeted Zhang Jiedong politely.

Although she was very polite, she was their master after all, so she couldn't be too humble. She turned around and sat down in the seat of honor.

"Before you two came here, Grandpa Lin should have told you what I want to do with you!"

After Yu Yidao and Zhang Jidong exchanged a glance, Zhang Jidong said, "Brother Lin has already informed us. We would like to ask Miss Lu if there is any age limit."

Although they want to continue living, they don't want to be slaves to others for the rest of their lives, so they have to ask clearly.

Lu Yu smiled and held up a finger, "Ten years, you only need to obey me for ten years, after ten years, you will be free."

Ten years is not a short time, but for a marrow cleansing pill, it is still worth it.

After exchanging glances again, the two nodded in agreement.

Next, Lu Yu gave them marrow cleansing pills and asked Uncle Zhong to arrange a yard for them to live in.

The two masters were in place, but Lu Yu did not feel too at ease, as she needed more powerful strength.

So she found Lu Jingmo, took out a large number of hot weapons, and demonstrated them to him one by one.

Lu Jingmo was shocked. These things were really powerful.

"What do you want to do with these, Xiaoyuer?"

"Grandfather, our strength is still too weak. Take out these things and I want to form a powerful assassination team."

“Of course, I don’t have that many people here, so I’ll ask Grandfather to select people for training.”

Lu Yu looked at him sincerely, without any fear or suspicion in his eyes.

Lu Jingmo touched her little head and said, "Grandfather knows."

After a while, news came from Lingshan Temple that Lady Lu had sculpted golden bodies for all the Buddha statues.

The nobles and the common people forgot about the Lu family's affairs for a moment and all talked about the golden body of the Buddha statue in Lingshan Temple.

Although many people think that Wuwang is an evil monk, they still flock to Lingshan Temple out of curiosity to see the golden Buddha statue.

Lu Yu and Lu Jingmo planned to take this opportunity to thoroughly explore Lingshan Temple. If they found Qin Shu's body or anything else, they would destroy Lingshan Temple in one fell swoop.

Finally, it was agreed that Lu Yu would go to investigate, while Lu Jingmo and the Qilin Guards would wait at the foot of the mountain. Once Lu Yu found out the information, they would surround the mountain.

However, Lu Yu has another purpose, which is to steal the golden Buddha. Of course, this is just a secondary purpose.

(I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival.)
