Past events (Part 2)

Because his brother had a bad reputation, and he offended high-ranking court officials like Gao Yanming.

How could a nicer person like her?

If it's average, she'll worry about getting into trouble, but if it's too bad, she doesn't like it.

No, now I am in my twenties and still alone.

As Lu Mingxi narrated, Lu Yaoyao realized that so many things had happened before.

The Gao family really deserves to die.

Mr. Lu stood on the side of the road for about half an hour before getting in the car again.

Lu Yaoyao took Lu Mingxi to her carriage. She also wanted to know something about the Lu family.

As more and more are known, apart from the Gao family, there are the Zhao family and the Tian family. These two families do a lot of things.

The matter of Fourth Master Lu is just one of them.

There is also Mr. Lu’s family. Mr. Lu’s family has three sons. The first two are pretty good. Although their qualifications are not high, they are still down-to-earth and help the family run the business in an orderly manner.

But this third child is not a good thing. He is a real playboy. He has been a frequent visitor to Qin Lou Chu Pavilion at a young age.

That's okay, but this guy especially likes gambling, so he's been plotted by the Tian family.

He owed a huge sum of 150,000 taels in one night. He was beaten half to death and dragged back to Mr. Lu's house to demand the debt.

At that time, Master Lu's family was also doing business with Mr. Lu. Although they were not wealthy, they still had a small amount of assets and their life was comfortable and comfortable.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be such a dandy, right?

But even if you have a small amount of assets, you can't afford such a torment.

How could Mr. Lu and his family get a huge sum of 150,000 taels?

In the end, the dude who owed money had his legs broken in the street, and was warned that if he didn't pay, he would sue the government.

Thinking of what happened to Fourth Master Lu and his family, how dare Third Master Lu to bring trouble to the government?

After scraping here and there, those who sold their houses and land were able to scrape together only 40,000 taels of silver.

In the end, Mr. Lu took action and collected 150,000 taels of silver.

Spending such a huge sum of money will not only completely destroy Master Lu's family, but also the vitality of Mr. Lu's family will be severely damaged.

If it happened again, the Lu family would probably fall into the abyss completely, and there would be no chance of turning around.

But soon, a turning point came. Wen Hao was transferred to Jiangdong to work. Because of the relationship between the two families, Wen Hao took great care of the Lu family.

This brought the Lu family back from the brink of collapse.

At first, the Zhao family and Tian family didn't take it to heart, and still targeted the Lu family several times, but Wen Hao suppressed them all.

The Gao family didn't dare to touch Wen Hao too blatantly, after all, their father was the right prime minister.

The Zhao family and the Tian family were not as crazy as they were at the beginning, but they only turned from light to light, causing a lot of trouble for the Lu family.

However, after being targeted and framed twice in a row, the children of the Lu family have become much more restrained and low-key, and they have not caused any major troubles.

"It seems that when we arrive in Jiangdong, we have to stop by these two houses."

A sneer formed on the corner of Lu Yaoyao's mouth.

When Lu Mingxi heard this, he quickly said, "Cousin, you must not do this, these two families are not good people."

"Not a good person?"

Lu Yaoyao smiled and thought to himself, if they are not good people, is he himself a good person?

"Don't worry, eldest cousin, the Gao family has been wiped out and they have no backer."

"I am the head of Wanfu County. Isn't it easy to deal with them?"

At this time, Lu Mingxi also reacted.

Yes, the backers of these two families are the Gao family, and now the Gao family is gone.

My cousin is still the head of the county and has been given two hundred personal guards. Wouldn't it be easy to deal with these two families?

"However, even so, my cousin still has to be careful. These two families do a lot of bad things. I heard that they once killed someone."

For a boudoir like Lu Mingxi, things like murder are far away and terrifying to her.

Qiu Yu next to her burst into laughter when she heard her words.

What does it mean to kill someone?

Her young lady has even killed a family, and she is also the backer of that family.

However, she only thought about it in her mind and did not say it out loud.

If you say this, how can you scare Lu Mingxi?

"Well, I'll be careful."

"By the way, cousin, when we go back to Jiangdong this time, are you planning to get married?"

Lu Mingxi is already engaged. She remembers that she will get married in the spring of this year or next year.

Hearing her talk about marriage, Lu Mingxi looked slightly sad.

Although she had accepted her fate that her marriage was planned, she would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable every time she thought about it.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yaoyao spoke again: "Cousin, if you are not willing, I can help you."

"There's no need to wrong yourself for the rest of your life, right?"

Lu Mingxi shook his head again.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yaoyao was speechless. Why was she so stubborn?

She could tell that Lu Mingxi was more accepting of his fate than actually accepting the upcoming marriage.

To accept her fate like this is stupid in her opinion.

This is a major event in my life, so how can I accept my fate?

"Cousin, how about this? When we get to Jiangdong, how about I give you a hand?"

Seeing her cousin like this, she still wanted to help.

The latter one is just a matter of meeting first. If the person is good and worthy of trust, then fine. If he is not a sweetheart, then he must find a way to cancel this calculated marriage.

Lu Mingxi was silent for a moment and then nodded.

The Lu family in Beijing.

Without the old man, Mrs. Zhao, and the people in the second room, the whole inner house now belongs to Mrs. Zhang alone.

After being suppressed for so long, it’s time to release.

No, during lunch, she started to find faults in all kinds of ways, and the lady in charge was very showy.

He even punished two servants with a cane.

She sees this as a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

You must know that the servants here in the capital are all bought again. They only have real masters in their eyes. Although they respect concubines and aunts like Zhang, they don't really take them seriously.

Something happened.

Now that all the serious masters in the house are gone, she is the biggest one in the house, so she will naturally seize this opportunity to scare all these servants.

Just like in Jiangdong, you must know that those servants who were in Jiangdong's big house back then were probably her people.

The depression of the past two months has long since become unbearable for her.

She has always wanted to return to her original position in the Jiangdong Dafang. She wanted her prestige within the inner residence of the Dafang to surpass that of the upright lady Zhao.

Only in this way can she feel at ease in the future and make plans for her own children.

"Mom, it's been so long. When did you tell your father about going to Wen's house to propose marriage?"

Lu Wentao came to Zhang's yard with an unhappy look on his face.

Ever since he met Wen Miaomiao once, he has always been thinking about her.

He has dreamed countless times of marrying Wen Miaomiao, becoming the son-in-law of the Prime Minister Zuo, and then becoming famous in the capital.
