At this time, Mrs. Lu rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing that Lu Zhiwei had regained consciousness, she was very surprised and a little guilty. Her eyes flickered and her lips trembled slightly, trying to hide her inner uneasiness.

Lu Zhiwei was lying on the sickbed, his face pale, but his eyes revealed a hint of determination. He looked at his mother, Mrs. Lu, and forced a smile, saying, "Mother, you are here."

Madam Lu tried to remain calm, walked to the bedside, gently held Lu Zhiwei's hand, and said, "Zhiwei, you're awake, that's great. Do you know how worried I was when you were unconscious?"

Lu Zhiwei shook his head gently and said, "Mother, I know you are worried, but I am fine now, you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed with relief, but then she became worried again: "Zhi Wei, can you tell me what happened? Why did you suddenly faint?"

Lu Zhiwei was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Mother, do you still remember the ancient book I was reading in the study that day? There was a secret recorded in that book. I tried to decipher it, but ended up triggering the restriction in the ancient book."

Madam Lu's face changed, and she asked nervously, "Restrictions in ancient books? Then how did you regain consciousness?"

Lu Zhiwei smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to a mysterious old man. He appeared when I was unconscious and told me how to break the ban. After some effort, I finally regained consciousness."

Madam Lu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Who is that old man? Why would he help you?"

Lu Zhiwei shook his head: "Mother, the identity of the old man is mysterious, and I have not been able to find out his background. But he told me that the restrictions of this book are related to the rise and fall of the ancient Lu Mansion. If I can crack it, it will bring blessings to the Lu Mansion."

Mrs. Lu's eyes flashed with doubt, and she said, "Blessings? Could it be that this book has a deep connection with the Lu Mansion?"

Lu Zhiwei nodded and said, "Yes, mother. This book is the heirloom of the ancient Lu Mansion. The old man told me that the rise and fall of the Lu Mansion is closely related to this book. If we can break the ban, we can not only preserve the foundation of the Lu Mansion, but also take it to a higher level."

After hearing this, a gleam of greed flashed in Mrs. Lu's eyes, but she immediately regained her composure.

He said softly: "Zhi Wei, since this book is so important, we must act carefully. You must protect yourself in the process of breaking the ban."

Lu Zhiwei smiled and nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I will be careful."

Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhiwei were studying ancient books in the study when suddenly a servant ran in hurriedly and reported that a guest wanted to see them.

Mrs. Lu frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

The servant hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a stranger named Liu Mubai."

Lu Zhiwei raised his head, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Liu Mubai? Why does he want to see us?"

Mrs. Lu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Please ask him to come in."

Liu Mubai was led into the study. He was wearing a gorgeous robe and had elegant manners. He bowed to Madam Lu and Lu Zhiwei and said, "I am Liu Mubai, and I have come to visit Madam Lu and Master Lu."

Madam Lu smiled slightly and said, "Liu Mubai is too polite. May I ask what you want to see us about?"

Liu Mubai glanced at the study and said, "I heard that the Lu family is trying to break the restriction of an ancient book, so I came here to ask for your advice."

Lu Zhiwei frowned and asked, "Liu Mubai, how did you know about this?"

Liu Mubai smiled slightly and said, "A friend of mine happens to know something about this matter. He told me that the restrictions of the Lu Mansion are related to the rise and fall of the ancient Lu Mansion. If they are cracked, it will bring blessings."

Mrs. Lu's heart tightened, but she remained alert and asked, "Liu Mubai, why do you care about this?"

Liu Mubai smiled softly and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just feel that the well-being of the Lu family is also related to me, so I came here to ask for your advice."

Madam Lu and Lu Zhiwei looked at each other and understood Liu Mubai's intention. This Liu Mubai must have some connection with the ancient Lu Mansion, and might even be the incarnation of the mysterious old man.

In order to test Liu Mubai's background, Madam Lu deliberately asked: "Since Liu Mubai cares so much about the welfare of the Lu family, are you willing to work with us to break the ban?"

Liu Mubai's eyes flashed with hesitation, but then he regained his composure: "I am willing to do my best."

The moment the ban was broken, the study suddenly filled with light and a powerful aura spread. Madam Lu, Lu Zhiwei and Liu Mubai all felt the power of this aura.

Liu Mubai's eyes flashed with excitement. He looked at Madam Lu and Lu Zhiwei and said, "Congratulations, the blessing of the Lu family has arrived."

……

Mrs. Lu suddenly asked, "Zhi Wei, you remember everything. Do you see clearly who hurt you?"

Lu Zhiwei's eyes suddenly became serious, and he pursed his lips tightly, as if trying to recall the painful past. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu patted his hand gently, her eyes full of concern.

"Mother, I... I remember it was a very cold winter and I was chased by a group of people. They had hideous faces and held sharp blades. I tried my best to run away, but was eventually caught by them." Lu Zhiwei's voice trembled, as if he had returned to that horrible moment.

Madam Lu's face was heavy. She held Lu Zhiwei's hand tightly and said slowly, "Zhiwei, do you know? The person who harmed you back then was your biological uncle Lu Yuandao. In order to seize the family property of the Lu family, he even joined forces with foreign enemies and framed his own child. I really didn't expect that he would be so cruel."

Lu Zhiwei's eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief. His lips trembled as he spoke with difficulty: "Mother, this...how is this possible? Second Uncle...how could he do this to me?"

Mrs. Lu sighed, tears welling up in her eyes: "Zhi Wei, your second uncle is no longer the upright and kind man he used to be. Under the temptation of power, he has become more and more greedy and cruel. In order to seize the family property, he did not hesitate to frame you and even wanted to kill me. If I hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid you would not be alive now."

Lu Zhiwei gritted his teeth, a gleam of hatred flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Mother, I understand. I will take revenge, and I will make my second uncle pay the price."

Mrs. Lu gently shook her head, tears falling down: "Zhi Wei, I know your heart is full of hatred, but you must remember that we cannot be controlled by hatred. You must learn to let go and learn to forgive. Only in this way can you truly walk out of the shadows and start your life again."

Lu Zhiwei was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually calmed down. He looked at his mother and nodded: "Mom, I will listen to you and learn to let it go. But in my heart, my second uncle is always my second uncle, and I can't forgive him for what he did."
