My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

The Lu family suffered a great loss this time!

Old Madam Lu was in the ancestral hall at home today, burning incense and praying devoutly for her grandson Lu Xingcheng, hoping that the grace of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager would fall upon her grandson.

But things went against his wishes. Seeing everyone returning to the Lu Mansion with serious faces, Lu Zhanyao's face was simply terrifying!

"Zhan Yao...what's wrong with you? Did Xing Cheng perform well today? Did he get the appreciation of the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"

Madam Lu asked anxiously.

Lu Zhanyao sighed, sat down and took a few sips of herbal tea before he spoke: "Xingcheng was beaten very badly by Wen Xiaoliang, I asked Aunt Mei to stay with him in the room. My son's doctor should be here soon!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was horrified.

Was the beating very severe?

How heavy?

Lu Xingcheng is the eldest grandson of the Lu family and the apple of Old Madam Lu’s eye!

"Hurry, help me go see Xingcheng! You just said that he was beaten by Wen Xiaoliang... Wen Qiqi's brother? This is ridiculous!"

"Ah."

Lu Zhanyao was extremely frustrated: "The most important thing is that Xingcheng actually lost the article I prepared for him... What he had in his arms was actually a blank piece of paper. Originally, my son wanted him to leave a good impression in front of the emperor and the empress dowager. Even if Lu Fu is not good at martial arts, he has excellent literary talent and can write easily. The emperor will definitely like it!"

"As a result, I almost committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! I was so scared that my legs were shaking today. Fortunately, the emperor and the queen mother gave face to the Wen family. Otherwise, they would definitely be displeased, and my son's career might even be affected!"

He slammed his fist on the table. Madam Lu shuddered and quickly advised: "This is an accident! Xingcheng was wronged today, don't say anything about him anymore!"

"But this kid is too careless. I repeatedly reviewed the article before asking him to copy it down and keep it in advance! How could he make a mistake out of nowhere..."

The more Lu Zhanyao thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. Lu Xingcheng was usually very cautious and knew the importance of things!

He definitely wouldn't have picked the wrong article when he was reciting it in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager...

Is it...

In Aunt Mei's room, Lu Xingcheng was leaning against the bed with a bruised face, curled up and rubbing his legs!

"Xingcheng! My grandson... hurry up and show grandma! Oh my god, how did your face get beaten like this? Your legs are swollen like clubs!"

"Grandma, it hurts! Don't touch it...ah..."

Lu Xingcheng's face flushed and his eyes were filled with tears, looking very pitiful.

"Grandma, Wen Xiaoliang rode on me today and punched me left and right! Mother even said that it was normal to get injured in a fight. After she came back, she ignored me and went back to rest. Mother must be very disappointed in me..."

Lu Xingcheng had clearly suffered a loss and wanted to complain to his grandmother, but he euphemistically took the blame on himself.

Mother Lu was furious. She looked at the main house and cursed, "You are such a heartless woman! Her own son was beaten like this by his own brother. If it were someone else, I don't know if they would have the face to go back to the Lu Mansion! She is fine, she is like nothing happened. It's a pity that our Xingcheng has such a cruel mother!"

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Aunt Mei started to cry.

"It's all because of my incompetence that Xingcheng has to suffer like this."

Indeed, if it weren't for the glory of the Wen family, Wen Qiqi's son could have been a tutor for the crown prince at the age of fifteen, and Aunt Mei would never have let Lu Xingcheng be adopted by Wen Qiqi...

"Being a legitimate child is a very important status, Xingcheng, no matter how much grievance you have to endure, you must endure it! It is all because of your grandmother and father's careful consideration for you. If it were your mother, there would be nothing she could do."

Aunt Mei always praises her husband and mother-in-law, which is very helpful to the mother and son of the Lu family.

……

Soon, the doctor came.

"Oh, this time, the young master was seriously injured. It is the hottest season now, and the weather is very hot. People are getting irritated. Why don't I prescribe some Chinese medicine for the young master to calm his nerves, relieve heat and reduce inflammation. The young master can take two doses!" said the doctor while writing the prescription.

Lu Xingcheng has been a sickly person since he was young, and taking medicine is a common occurrence for him.

Mother Lu and Aunt Mei watched carefully from the side. Mother Lu kept saying, "These are all bitter medicines. It's really hard for us Xingcheng."

The doctor nodded and said, "It is indeed bitter, but old lady! Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease, and honest advice is unpleasant to the ear but is good for action. I will just say a few more words of truth today, whether you are willing to listen or not."

Lu Zhanyao was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's okay to just speak frankly."

The doctor said, "I just felt the pulse of the young master, and I felt that he was very weak. Logically speaking, the young master should be old enough to have sex, but judging from the pulse..."

The doctor's words made Aunt Mei blush instantly, and she couldn't help but look at Lu Zhanyuan.

They both remembered.

Aunt Mei was Lu Zhanyao's maid. When the two were together, no one in the Lu family knew about it.

At that time, Lu Zhanyao was indeed very young, and he was very interested in matters between men and women...

On the other hand, Xingcheng is indeed weak and timid, without any masculinity.

Madam Lu said worriedly, "Since you've seen it, why don't you quickly give him some good medicine to help him recover and take care of his body? He's my eldest grandson, and he has the biggest responsibility in the Lu family's continuation of the family line!"

Men in Kyoto can get married and have children when they are about sixteen or seventeen years old. Lu Xingcheng is already fourteen years old, but he doesn’t even have a beard on his cheeks!

When the doctor said this, Madam Lu became anxious, and Aunt Mei became even more anxious.

Lu Zhanyao didn't care too much about it. Xingcheng developed a little late, so he should think less about matters between men and women and spend more time on studying.

"That's fine, it's fine. It's a good thing for a man to get married later. The Emperor and the Queen Mother always like innocent and simple children to accompany the Crown Prince..."

"Master Lu! This matter is not as simple as you think!"

The doctor looked outside mysteriously, and lowered his voice to say to the group, "There is a disease in the ancient books that can cause a man to be so weak at the age of fourteen, with no beard or Adam's apple. There is no guarantee that he will not...will not...will not be able to have children in the future!"

"what……"

Aunt Mei was so frightened that she nearly died, and tears fell in pairs.

Lu Xingcheng also understood!

What the doctor meant was that he might not be a real man!

"Doctor, please give me the medicine quickly! No matter how much money it costs, no matter how bitter the medicine is, I want to cure this disease!"

The doctor looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before saying: "This disease is not easy to cure! I see that the pulse of the young master is as weak as that of a woman... I am afraid that I will not be able to cure him in the future..."

Finished!

Completely finished!

Lu Xingcheng felt like he couldn't live any longer, so he threw himself into Aunt Mei's arms and burst into tears!
