The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

"Wait!" Lu Chengjing gritted his teeth and endured the pain to stand up for a moment, then his legs went limp and he fell straight towards the fire in front of him.

The flame was about to lick his cheek, and Lu Chengjing subconsciously closed his eyes.

He didn't fall into the fire, and his body suddenly felt lighter.

Shang Wan turned back, looking gloomy as he held the big moth that he had just been playing with, and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you want me to build a grill for you?"

Don't you know your legs are not healed? Why are you jumping around like that?

Lu Chengjing didn't bother to explain, and held Shang Wan's arm with his left hand, "You can't kill Lu Chengyuan now."

Shang Wan frowned: "Why?"

Lu Chengjing glanced at the curtain and saw Shitou was still taking a bath. He said, "Put me down first and I will talk to you slowly."

"No." Shang Wan curled his lips, "You are not even as heavy as a piglet."

Lu Chengjing: “…”

Are you scolding him?

Shang Wan looked down at him, thinking of the great injustice he had suffered in the Lu Mansion. He was reluctant to bully him, so he put the man back to his original position.

She threw two pieces of firewood into the fire, turned to look at Lu Chengjing, and said, "Tell me, why can't we kill him?"

Lu Chengjing said slowly: "I know you are good at fighting, but two fists cannot beat four hands. If Lu Chengyuan gets into trouble, the Lu family will definitely track it down to the end."

"Let them investigate, am I afraid of him?" Shang Wan didn't care. She had moved so many things to the Lu Mansion, but the Lu family had never investigated her.

Lu Chengjing knew what Shang Wan was thinking and analyzed, "Lu Chengyuan is far more important to the Lu family than those dead things. If Lu Chengyuan was killed, not only the Lu family, but also the Wang family will investigate."

"Wang family?" Shang Wan was puzzled. "Which Wang family?"

Lu Chengjing glanced at her and said, "My maternal grandfather's surname is Wang."

Shang Wan suddenly realized that she had not noticed that Mrs. Lu's surname was Wang.

"Is this Wang family very powerful?"

Lu Chengjing nodded, "Last year, my uncle was promoted to the capital and served as a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel's Examination and Reward Department."

The original owner's memory had no such content at all, so Shang Wan asked: "What's so powerful about this official?"

"The Ministry of Examination is responsible for the punishment of civil servants, the discussion of promotions, and the handling of imperial examinations," Lu Chengjing explained simply and directly. "If you want to eliminate dissidents in the court, having someone in the Ministry of Examination will make things twice as easy as possible."

It sounds like the Performance Evaluation Department is a bit like the Organization Department of the base, responsible for talent assessment, reward and punishment management, and system implementation.

However, Shang Wan was puzzled, "What does my uncle's promotion have to do with Lu Chengyuan?"

Lu Chengjing said, "Last year during the New Year, my father sent someone to deliver a generous gift to the Wang family, and after the New Year, I received a reply from my uncle."

"My uncle has secured a place for Lu Chengyuan at Baihong Academy, allowing him to go to Beijing before June to study at Baihong Academy, and then return to his hometown to take the provincial examination in August next year."

"It's hard to get a place in Baihong Academy. My uncle didn't give it to Wang's nephews but gave it to Lu Chengyuan, which shows that he hopes to train Lu Chengyuan to be a helper. If you kill Lu Chengyuan, not only will the Lu family do their best to track you down, but the Wang family will not let it go either."

Shang Wan felt that this reason could not convince her, "Isn't it okay if you don't leave any traces?"

Lu Chengjing shook his head. "Even if it can't be discovered for the time being, as long as you have done it, there will always be a day when it will be exposed. Besides, your good skills are not a secret in the village, and they will not be a secret in the future."

"My lady, when a superior wants to deal with someone, he doesn't need evidence, just suspicion is enough."

Sometimes there is no need even to doubt.

No matter how powerful Shang Wan is, there will always be a time when he is exhausted.

Even if she can't win and can run away, what about the rest of the family? With Shang Wan's personality, he will definitely not abandon his family.

Even if the family managed to escape, they would definitely be wanted by the government, and their peaceful days would be gone forever.

Between his family's stable life and killing Lu Chengyuan, Lu Chengjing chose the former without hesitation.

I have endured it for more than ten years, there is no need to rush.

Shang Wan slammed his fist on the ground in frustration, and then he said, "I won't kill him, but I can castrate him, right?"

Lu Chengjing shook his head. "How can a eunuch take part in the imperial examination? This is the same as killing him."

Shang Wan was annoyed. "Killing him is not an option. Castrating him is not an option either. Do we have to let him live and disgust others?"

"Don't be angry, my lady." Lu Chengjing gently tugged at Shang Wan's sleeve, his voice deliberately softened.

"I'm annoyed. You keep acting like a spoiled child every day." Shang Wan looked at him with cold eyes, "Tell me the truth, was the person who sent the anonymous letter to Tian Sheng that worse than a beast?"

Lu Chengjing was slightly startled, "Why do you think it was him?"

"To enter the imperial examination, one cannot have a blemish on his reputation." Shang Wan said, "If he molested a child, and this child is his own brother, wouldn't it be a ready-made handle if outsiders knew about it? At the very least, they could use this to threaten him, or at worst, they could just destroy him, making him despised and hated by everyone."

"It is indeed possible, but..." Lu Chengjing was helpless, "How could I tell this to anyone else except you?"

He kept this matter buried in his heart for many years and never mentioned it to anyone.

Even Shitou didn't know about this and was wondering why Lu Chengjing disliked Lu Chengyuan so much and even felt disgusted when he spoke to him.

Shang Wan curled his lips, "Only the dead can keep secrets forever."

Lu Chengyuan was worried that Lu Chengjing would hinder his career, so he deliberately linked Lu Chengjing to the poisoning of the county magistrate and took the opportunity to expel Lu Chengjing from the Lu family.

Once Lu Chengjing died, his biggest worry was solved.

Shang Wan felt that his guess was reasonable, but he had no evidence.

"Even if there is evidence, he cannot be convicted." Lu Chengjing said, "Tian Sheng was the one who poisoned him. Lu Chengyuan did not violate the law by sending an anonymous letter to Tian Sheng. Moreover, Tian Sheng committed suicide by taking poison, not Lu Chengyuan."

Shang Wan: “…”

Lu Chengjing said: "Lu Chengyuan is a cautious person. Even if he plots against others, he will first try to clear himself."

Shang Wan took a deep breath and said, "According to this logic, the matter of the jade pendant and the rice shop could have been caused by him, right?"

Lu Chengjing said: “I’m not sure about the former, but the latter is him.”

Not angry, not angry, not angry, not angry... She is just angry!

Shang Wan felt that if she continued to be angry, she would get breast hyperplasia.

She said, "I can't kill him, I can't castrate him, but I can break his legs to make his journey to Beijing more difficult, right?"

No matter what, she has to bear this shame!

Lu Chengjing opened his lips slightly, Shang Wan glanced at him and warned him coldly: "Don't say no again!"

Lu Chengjing: "Whatever your pleasure is."

"Good boy." Shang Wan finally calmed down a bit. He stood up and rubbed Lu Chengjing's face. Finally, he said, "You're almost fat. Why don't you learn from Yuanyuan?"

Lu Chengjing: “…”

If he was as chubby as Yuanyuan, he was sure that the first person to make him lose weight would be the woman in front of him.

Shang Wan pinched the tip of Lu Chengjing's chin and shook it, "Eat more in the future. It's uncomfortable to hold a body full of ribs."

Lu Chengjing pursed his lips and said, "If you think it's uncomfortable, you don't have to hug me."

"That won't work." Shang Wan used her index finger to gently rub the soft flesh on Lu Chengjing's chin like teasing a cat. "I have a question. The Wang family is so powerful, why would they marry their daughter to the Lu family?"

This world values ​​matching social status. How could an official marry his daughter to a commoner?
