At that time, Lu Yunqing was about to marry into the Li family. When she was packing her things, she accidentally saw the clothes that Su He gave to her second brother. Thinking that she would not have to go back to her parents' home every other day after getting married, she sent someone to send the clothes to Weirui Pavilion so that her grandmother could hand them over to her second brother, hoping for good luck on the day of the exam.
Lu Yunqing treasures it so much because of its high value, otherwise she would have thrown it at the end of the alley long ago.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong!
Hearing her grandmother's cold question, Lu Yunqing's heart trembled, and she stood up excitedly to explain: "Grandma, I didn't know there was anything fishy about the clothes I gave to my second brother! He is my biological brother, how could I harm him? It must be Su He who framed her! Maybe she didn't want to divorce her brother at all, so she came up with this method to disgust us!"
During these days of living in Qingxin Residence, Lu Yunqing was confined to a small world. If Li Qi hadn't come to see her secretly, she wouldn't even have the right to know that he had left the capital! Although Zhao Liuyun didn't deliberately appear in front of her, the maids and old women always gossiped about her and heard from time to time about her sweet relationship with Li Qi, which made Lu Yunqing furious.
Thinking of what Su He had said, Lu Yunqing felt even more disgusted. She used to call her sister-in-law so affectionately, but now it seems that her sincerity was really misplaced!
Since Su He was mentioned, Lu Yanxiu had to talk about the purse: "It seems that she has made two preparations in order to plot against Zhili."
"That bitch!"
When Liu thought that Zhili was still suffering in prison and that the Lu family would have no future, she stroked her chest and cried out to the sky, her face full of sorrow and she could not find peace in her heart!
"Yunqing, go to the Dali Temple and testify for Zhili, proving that the suit was given to you by Su He!"
After Lu Yunqing understood what had happened, she sat down on the chair dejectedly, twisting her handkerchief and refusing to speak.
Lu Yanxiu saw the clues, frowned and asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yunqing's face turned slightly pale, and she lowered her eyes for a long time without answering.
The reason why she frequently visited Su He during those days was ultimately for personal matters. If she went to the Dali Temple to testify for her second brother and said that Su He had maliciously framed him, how would she explain it?
Now that Li Qi has left Beijing, and Chen is eyeing her covetously, she is afraid of being caught with the slightest handle. If Su He tells her the reason why she went to find her, she will be like a fish on the chopping board, and everyone in the Li Mansion will look down on her even more.
Lu Yunqing was indecisive. On the one hand, she was worried that her second brother was trapped in the cell, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Chen would know what she had planned.
"Lu Yunqing, speak!"
Liu probably saw through her hesitation, squinted her eyes and looked over, saying in a cold voice: "You must remember, on the day of your wedding, if your second brother hadn't said that he was afraid that your dowry would be too small to be presentable, I would never have given you any money! Today he is in trouble, and you don't even want to stand up and help him? When has there ever been such a disregard-for-fellow descendant in our family?"
These words directly put Lu Yunqing on the moral dogma. She clearly remembered that as the wedding day was getting closer, the storehouse in the mansion was not sufficient and the dowry prepared was very little. The second brother did stand up and say that the dowry was too little, fearing that the Lu family would lose face, but the grandmother was very reluctant to give her a little bit of dowry.
Even the dowry that was pieced together from various sources was still not to Chen's liking.
Lu Yunqing knew that her two brothers meant more to their grandmother than she did, but she couldn't help feeling sad when she heard her say that. If her mother were still alive, she would definitely help her without hesitation.
"Grandma, I..."
She bit her lip and couldn't continue.
Lu Yanxiu lost his temper and scolded in a low voice: "It's just to testify for your second brother and identify Su He. What's the meaning of your hesitating for a long time? Can you bear to watch your second brother suffer in prison?"
Lu Yunqing explained: "I can identify Su He, but I'm afraid of her..."
"Yan Xiu! Stop talking nonsense to her! Now that she's married and has grown powerful, she won't listen to us anymore. Take her to the Dali Temple as soon as possible, and make sure to bring Zhili back to me safely!"
Liu was only thinking about Lu Zhili, and her tone of voice was particularly harsh, which made Lu Yunqing sad when she heard it.
She knew that if she didn't agree, she would be an enemy of her family. After thinking about it for a while, she finally accepted her fate and said, "I will testify."
Liu and Lu Yanxiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly arranged for a Roman carriage to send Lu Yunqing to the Dali Temple. Just as they finished speaking, a servant ran in anxiously and reported: "The second young master pleaded guilty!"
Lu Yunqing was surprised and inexplicably relieved.
Upon hearing the news, Liu's legs went weak and she almost fell off the bed.
"You are so confused! It was clearly a scheme by that bitch, why are you admitting your guilt?"
She fell on the bed cursing, her eyes full of stars. Mother Yang hurriedly waited on her side, fearing that she would faint.
Lu Yanxiu's face was stern. He called the servant over to question him, "Tell me the reason in detail."
The servant bowed his head and replied, "The second young master admitted the crime of cheating, saying that the clothes were handed to him by the Minister of Rites, Lord Su, and he was framed by Lord Su!"
Lu Yanxiu knew that Lu Zhili wanted to bring down Su Ronghai, but he didn't expect that he would use this method?
It was common for examiners and candidates to meet each other in the same Imperial Examination Hall. In addition, Su He had interceded for Lu Zhili before, and it was no secret that Su Ronghai had made arrangements for Lu Zhili many times.
Lu Zhili actually admitted the guilt and wanted to drag Su Ronghai into the water?
Lu Yanxiu was no longer as panicked as before. After sending the servant away, he came to Liu's bedside and comforted her, "Grandma, my second brother has a noble person to protect him, so nothing will happen. The prison is dark, and my second brother, a scholar, may not be used to sleeping. I asked someone to send him some bedding to keep him warm in the spring."
Liu said "OK" repeatedly and asked the two brothers to be careful.
He glanced at Lu Yunqing, who was relaxing beside him, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and said disdainfully: "If you have nothing else, go back to the Li Mansion."
"Grandma, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I won't die anytime soon."
Liu turned her face away and didn't want to talk to Lu Yunqing.
When the news of her being pregnant before marriage came out, it already brought shame to the Lu family. Now, when she was asked to come back today to identify Su He, she was unwilling to do so?
Liu didn't know how the Lu family could have such a shameless, heartless and ungrateful person!
The cold and disdainful tone made Lu Yunqing feel sad. She stood up hastily, bowed to Liu, and left Weirui Pavilion as if escaping.
There are many children in the house, so it is inevitable that their minds will be biased. However, Lu Yunqing only realized now that she was so unpopular with her grandmother!
That's right, I thought she could be a co-wife and a proper wife of Mr. Lu after marrying into the Li Mansion, but I didn't expect that she could only live alone in Qingxin Residence. This was of no help to the Lu family, and naturally the grandmother would not like it.
"Yun Qing?"
