"Madam, are you back?"

Lu Xiu's voice on the bed was still a little hoarse.

"If you don't come back, I'm afraid you will die in prison."

As soon as Zhao said these words, Lu Mingxi coughed quickly and looked at her mother helplessly.

"mother"

The sound was a bit drawn out.

"Okay, okay."

Seemingly aware that her tone just now was really bad, Zhao quickly softened her voice and looked at Lu Xiu on the bed, with a look of distress rising in her eyes.

The voice is also much softer.

"Thanks to Yaoyao this time. If it were a little later, I'd be afraid, sir."

This is not an exaggeration at all. When Lu Xiu was in Jiangdong, he had been running around for business all year round, and his physical condition was not very good to begin with.

Now that they were suddenly so traumatized, if Lu Yaoyao and others returned to the capital a few days later, they would have to collect Lu Xiu's body.

Hearing his wife mention Lu Yaoyao, a look of shame flashed across Lu Xiu's face.

"It's my fault that I couldn't keep what she gave me."

"Dad, don't say that. It's not your fault."

Lu Mingxi also spoke quickly.

As she spoke, her usually gentle and watery eyes also became tinged with a cold color.

What happened this time really frightened her. Although Lu Xiu was fine now, she still hated the person who caused all this.

"Yes, it's all down to that beast Lu Wentao and that bitch Zhang."

"Huh, my concubine told you before, don't let them go, otherwise they will cause a huge disaster sooner or later. What did you say at the time? They didn't have the courage."

"Now you can see how courageous they are?"

When Lu Xiu kicked Lu Wentao out of the Lu family, he was captured by people from Jingzhao Mansion the next day.

He didn't know what happened next.

When Mrs. Zhao showed Zhang's audacity, she smashed the cabinet in the old man's study and stole the perfume formula and the contract to help Lu Wentao pay off his debts, Lu Xiu's face suddenly turned red on the bed, and anger rose in his eyes.

"How dare she, she, she."

Seeing that he had difficulty breathing, Lu Mingxi quickly stepped forward to comfort him and help him breathe.

But Zhao's voice did not stop, and continued to talk about how Zhang later planned to sell all the Lu family's money and property and run away after seeing that things were out of control.

Lu Xiu was completely ignited.

"Beasts, bastards, where are they? Bring them here, I want to ask you why you are like this."

"Mom, stop talking and look at dad."

As soon as Lu Mingxi opened his mouth, Zhao didn't say any more sarcastic words.

"They are now being imprisoned by the old man. Yao Yao has not come back yet. We will deal with them after she comes back."

As soon as she finished speaking, a nun walked in from outside the yard.

"Madam, the county lord is back. The old lady sent someone to send a message asking you to go to the main hall."

"knew."

Mrs. Zhao nodded.

"Master, please take a good rest first, and I'll go over and take a look."

"Xie'er, you leave Haosheng to take care of your father."

Lu Mingxi nodded quickly.

When Zhao stood up and turned around, Lu Xiu's voice came from behind.

"I'll go too."

"Dad, you are injured now, or..."

Before Lu Mingxi finished speaking, Lu Xiu's firm and persistent voice sounded again.

"I have to go to my big house now."

Hearing this, Lu Mingxi looked at Zhao, and Zhao looked at Lu Xiu on the bed. She had been married for many years, so she naturally knew Lu Xiu and saw that he was so determined.

He knew that if he was not allowed to go, he would have to crawl all by himself.

He nodded immediately and called the servants to get ready. After a lot of work, the two servants carried Lu Xiu and followed the Zhao mother and daughter to the main hall.

At this time, in the main hall, Mr. Lu was sitting on the main seat, with Lu Kang sitting on the left and Lu Yaoyao, who had just returned from the palace, on the right.

In other seats, the Yuan family and the direct children sat down respectively.

In the middle of the main hall, Lu Wentao and Zhang's mother and son were kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed. Behind them was Lu Honglan.

Lu Honglan did not kneel down because she was afraid that she would be included in the reckoning later.

In fact, according to her opinion, she shouldn't even come here. This incident has nothing to do with her. If she comes and gets implicated, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Now she has completely given up on her mother and brother.

It's a pity that there is nothing we can do. The old man asked someone to send a message, and it won't work if she doesn't come.

At this moment, I just hope that the fire will not burn her for a while.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside, and everyone looked up at the door.

The first ones to come in were the Zhao mother and daughter.

"Come here, come here"

As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he found someone else behind Zhao and her daughter.

There was a slight pause, and when he saw clearly who was coming, he immediately frowned.

"Father-in-law, he asked to come over. My daughter-in-law can only do this."

After hearing this, Mr. Lu calmed his brows, nodded and said, "Since he is here, this matter will save some trouble today."

At this time, Lu Yaoyao and Lu Kang both stood up and hurriedly went to Lu Xiu to inquire about the situation.

Seeing his second brother and niece, Lu Xiu was filled with shame.

"Second brother, Yaoyao, I am sorry for you this time."

"Brother, I don't blame you. If the things are gone, we can find ways to earn money. As long as everything is fine, it will be fine."

"Second uncle is right, the most important thing is that people are fine, and the things are given as long as they are given."

Lu Yaoyao didn't even pay attention to a mere perfume. Even if it was gone, she could still come up with other good things.

Hearing what the two said, Lu Xiu bowed warmly, but at the same time he felt even more ashamed.

Suddenly, he turned his eyes and saw Zhang's mother and son kneeling in the middle of the main hall.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang was raising her head and looking here expectantly.

Even now, she still hopes that her husband will forgive her and protect her as before.

However, the moment the two people's eyes met, Zhang's heart skipped a beat.

No one else, just because Lu Xiu's eyes at this moment were full of indifference and silence, without a trace of warmth.

Just a glance at each other made Zhang feel cold all over.

"Dad, my son knows he was wrong, please."

Suddenly, a voice broke the brief silence.

Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker was Lu Wentao.

But before he finished speaking, he was frightened back by Lu Xiu's cold eyes.

"Father, let's deal with business first."

Lu Xiu turned to look at the old man, and then asked someone to carry him to the side.

The Zhang family and their son caused such a big mess this time. As a concubine, Zhang family was even more audacious. She took it upon herself to give away the most important things of the family. Afterwards, she even planned to take the family money, sell the family property and run away.

Any one of them is a serious sin and should be explained clearly.

"Everyone knows what Zhang has done, so I won't say much."

"How do you think it should be handled?"

As soon as Mr. Lu's voice fell, Mrs. Zhao directly answered.

"Everything is entirely up to the father-in-law."

"Well, dad, it's up to you to make the decision."
