When Lu Lingzhi left the palace, his eyes that were originally deep and dark were now covered with a layer of cold light, making him look even colder and cold-blooded.
"Brother." Guan Jie waited for him outside the palace for a long time, and when he saw Lu Lingzhi finally came out, a big smile appeared on his simple and honest face.
"Go back." Seeing Guan Jie's innocent smile, Lu Lingzhi softened his expression, "Where's Duanmuya?"
"Go to Second Young Master." Guan Jie said.
Lu Lingzhi was not surprised by this answer. Duanmuya went to Anhe City to rescue him for Lu Tingzhi's sake. It was only normal for him to go to Lu Tingzhi when he returned to the imperial capital.
Mrs. Liu has already learned that the eldest son is coming back, and has ordered the kitchen to prepare more sumptuous dishes tonight, all of which are Lu Lingzhi's favorites.
"Ma'am, the young master is back." The servant girl came in and said to Mrs. Liu.
"Really?" Surprise appeared on Liu's face, she couldn't sit still and came to the door, and she saw her most proud son walking towards her like a nobleman.
What she is most proud of in her life is that she can raise a noble concubine in a merchant's family, and has a son as handsome and elegant as Lu Lingzhi. This son of hers is omnipotent. Now that he is back, he will definitely make their Lu family become better.
"Mother." Lu Lingzhi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't catch Liu Shi's excitement. He slowly came to Liu Shi and called her as if he was looking at a stranger.
Liu was excited and delighted, "When did you come back? Why didn't someone bring a letter back earlier, so that I can have someone tidy up your house."
Lu Lingzhi said lightly, "Don't worry too much about where you live."
"Come in quickly." Mrs. Liu took Lu Lingzhi's hand, "Do you know that I have someone ask you to come back? That unfilial son of Tingzhi actually told me not to look for you again, for fear that you are not in good health, I think You're all right now."
"Where's the second brother?" Lu Lingzhi asked.
Mrs. Liu said, "I went out early in the morning. Yanzhi, you'll be fine if you come back. Your sister has been wronged too much in the palace recently. You have to help him. You don't know how much we have suffered in the imperial capital..."
Lu Lingzhi listened coldly to Mrs. Liu crying about their grievances in the imperial capital. She talked for a long time, and every sentence was about Lu Shuang'er and herself, and she didn't care about his injuries. Is he healed now? , Will there be any sequelae, she has always been concerned about Lu Shuang'er and her own prosperity.
When I met Liu Qiao'er in the palace today, what Liu Qiao'er told him made him even more silent.
He brought back his youngest brother back then, that was his father's youngest son, although he was born out of a concubine, he was indeed his brother, and he was still so young, full of ignorance and interest in the world, he only knew about big brothers and big brothers along the way. Call him, Lu Lingzhi likes that younger brother very much.
For so many years, he always thought that the fifth younger brother who hadn't had time to name him died of illness, and he felt guilty for a long time because of it.
Only today did he know that it was his mother and sister who jointly killed him.
Thanks to him abandoning his favorite woman to help his sister, what did he get in return
Lu Lingzhi looked at Mrs. Liu who was still complaining, his heart was chilled, he was so calm that there was no extra emotion, "Mother..."
Mrs. Liu didn't hear Lu Lingzhi calling her, and still said her grievance sadly.
"Mother, I won't stay in the imperial capital." Lu Lingzhi interrupted her, not wanting to hear these words anymore.
"What?" Mrs. Liu said so excitedly that she didn't realize what Lu Lingzhi meant.
Lu Lingzhi said calmly, "I'm seriously injured this time. I'm afraid I won't live long. In my lifetime, I want to go back to worship the old lady."
Liu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean you won't live long?"
"This is what Duanmuya said. I only have less than three months to live." Lu Lingzhi said, in fact, it will not take three months, and in a few days there will be no more Lu Lingzhi in this world.
"So..." Mrs. Liu stared blankly at her son, all excitement and grievances stopped silently, "You only have three months to live?"
Lu Lingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Shi lightly. He knew that even if he knew that he was going to die, she still only cared about his future glory and wealth, not him. "Don't worry, even if I die, I will still arrange for you." In the future life, besides, Tingzhi is now promising, and he can support the family."
Liu Shi still didn't react. She never thought that Lu Lingzhi would leave her one day. In her mind, he was always like a big tree in the sky. He could make their family cling to him. Why did the big tree fall down
Mrs. Liu couldn't say a word, Lu Lingzhi looked at her silently for a while, "Mother, I still have to go to Tingzhi."
"Are you going to just abandon us like this?" Liu's voice asked sharply.
Lu Lingzhi looked back at Mrs. Liu indifferently, "Then what do you want me to do, and what else do you want me to do for you?"
"What would Shuang'er and I do without you?" Liu said sharply, "Isn't Duanmuya's medical skills very good? Let him cure you, and you won't have to die if he cures you."
"You and Shuang'er don't need me to take care of you anymore, you can take good care of yourself." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice.
Liu asked, "What do you mean by that? You... Do you think we've dragged you down?"
There seemed to be a darkness in Lu Lingzhi's eyes, "What do I mean? Mother should be very clear in her heart. Back then, you were able to kill even the fifth younger brother. What else can't you and Shuang'er do? Over the years , it is because I am here that you entrust all obstacles to me to remove them, I am tired now, you can do it yourself."
"You...you know?" Liu was stunned, she thought she could hide this matter for the rest of her life, she didn't want Lu Lingzhi to know, he valued that bitch too much, "I had no choice but to."
"Yeah, people always have a lot of things they have to do. Back then, I poisoned Ye Zhen for Shuang'er because I had to." Lu Lingzhi smiled lightly. Because of that time, he would live in pain all his life. middle.
Liu said angrily, "That bastard's mother is still alive. If he survives, your father will definitely favor him. I can only get rid of him..."
This reason is really full of loopholes, does Liu think he will believe it? The real reason was that he liked that younger brother so much at the time, which made Lu Shuang'er jealous, so she wanted to get rid of him.
"Fifth brother was killed by you!" A shocked voice suddenly came from outside the room.
Liu looked over with a pale face, Lu Tingzhi came back at some point, and was looking at her in disbelief.
