The next day, Lu Tingzhi was brought into the palace to meet Ye Zhen.
"Caomin has seen your mother." Lu Tingzhi knelt down, he already felt very guilty when facing Yaoyao, but now thinking of what Lu Lingzhi did, he felt even more ashamed to see her.
Ye Zhen looked down at Lu Tingzhi and saw that his hands still had scars, she asked lightly, "Did Lu Lingzhi hurt you?"
"Go back to your mother, it was the minister... who accidentally hurt himself. The minister wanted to escape, but he was arrested anyway." Lu Tingzhi said guiltily, if he could leave earlier, maybe he would not have allowed Lu Lingzhi to escape.
"How did you know that Lin Yan is Lu Lingzhi?" Ye Zhen's hatred for Lu Lingzhi couldn't be calmed down, even though she knew that Lu Tingzhi was not what she thought, she still couldn't treat him like Lu Zanzhi.
She could calmly call Lu Zan's third brother, but she couldn't call Lu Tingzhi's second brother.
Lu Tingzhi said in a low voice, "Mother, Cao Min recognized him from the portrait left by Duanmuya. Before going to see him, Cao Min gave the portrait to the steward and told him that if he didn't come home before dark, he would let him go." It was Cao Min who brought the portrait to Uncle Lu...too naive, Uncle Lu was originally from Lu Lingzhi, but I didn't know."
"The Uncle Lu you mentioned is no longer in the mansion." Ye Zhen said coldly, it seems that Lu Lingzhi should have silenced him, "No one of you really knows Lu Lingzhi's identity in the capital city."
"Your Majesty, what Caomin says now is sophistry." Lu Tingzhi lowered his head, with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, "If he had known about this earlier, Caomin would not have let him kill his friend. If my mother knew of his existence, she would have already Four years ago, Lu Lingzhi said that he would no longer take care of the Lu family's affairs, so how could we let us know that he has become like that."
Ye Zhen looked at Lu Tingzhi indifferently, what he said was right, if he knew Lu Lingzhi's identity, Duanmuya would not have died.
"Lu Tingzhi, you know that Ben Gong's father trusts you very much, and never doubted your intention to come back." Ye Zhen said softly.
"The reason why Caomin came back this time has already been told to the empress, whether it is facing grandmother or third uncle, Caomin is worthy of his conscience." Lu Tingzhi felt bitter in his heart, he knew Yaoyao would not believe him, but she doubted again and again , still made him feel sad.
Ye Zhen took a deep look at him, "I trust you once, if I find out that you have ulterior motives, I will not let you go."
Lu Tingzhi's heart was shocked, and he raised his head in disbelief, is she willing to believe him
"Go on, I kept the fact that you were under house arrest by Lu Lingzhi this time. I should know about it now. You should explain it yourself." Ye Zhen said.
"Yes, ma'am." Lu Tingzhi knew that yesterday was the wedding of his fourth brother, so it was right to keep the news from them.
He stood up, bowed his head to back down, and took two steps back. He suddenly remembered another thing, "Madam, Lu Lingzhi is not a descendant of the Lu family. He has been willing to help Shuang'er for many years because Shuang'er is a child of the Lu family." The only one who knows his life."
In this way, Lu Lingzhi is really the last posthumous son of the Pan family.
"I know." Ye Zhen said, "Go and tell father about it."
Lu Tingzhi was a little surprised that Ye Zhen already knew about this, he saluted and exited the hall.
…
…
The Lu family had a happy event yesterday, and today the whole family still has beaming smiles on their faces, and today the bride recognizes her relatives. Mrs. Liu hasn't seen her son for a few days, so she wanted to make a fuss with Sanfang early this morning. They Dafang's life was unsatisfactory, so how could she be willing to see Lu Shiming's family happy and happy? However, when she came over with her maid, Mrs. Pei just asked her lightly if her face was still in pain. For the matter of slapping the mouth, she was afraid of being beaten again.
Seeing Lu Xiangzhi shyly appearing in front of her with his bride, Liu Shi was really jealous. She has two sons. The eldest son has been missing for several years, and the younger son has disappeared recently. If it wasn't for the third wife, now she She is still the old lady of Hou Mansion.
Lu Shixun also came here today, but he doesn't have Liu's jealousy, he only wants to please the third room now, maybe the queen empress will support his son in the future, as long as Lu Zanzhi is promising, they will get better sooner or later.
Isn't it much better now than before
After Lu Xiangzhi led Su Xiaoxiao to salute and recognize them, Mrs. Pei let them go back to rest. It was rare for the three of the Lu family to get together, so they said a few more words.
"Third Uncle, do you know where Ting Zhi is?" Liu looked at Lu Shiming and asked.
Lu Shiming had learned what happened yesterday this morning, and his heart was very heavy. Hearing Mrs. Liu's question, he said flatly, "I probably have something to do, so I should be back soon."
Mrs. Pei glanced at him suspiciously, yesterday he was still asking where Lu Tingzhi went, why did he change his tone today.
Ms. Liu cried and said, "I only have this son left now. He hasn't come back for several days. I don't know if he was killed. Those people are still unwilling to be killed. Now even the court will not let him go... "
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Sanfang is overjoyed. What are you crying about?" Wang said, glancing at Liu.
"What's wrong with my son?" Liu yelled, "How many times have I told him not to come back, there will be no good end!"
Mrs. Pei was in a good mood at first, but when Mrs. Liu cried like this, she was so angry that she wanted to throw someone out, "Yes, people who do evil will definitely end well. Tingzhi is a good boy, and nothing will happen. He will be fine in two days." You're back, sister-in-law, don't cry either."
"What do you mean by that, do Yanzhi and Shuang'er deserve it?" Mrs. Liu shouted immediately.
Don't you just deserve it? Mrs. Pei sneered, "Is it right that sister-in-law knows in her heart that my son has just married a wife, if you continue to cry, then don't blame me for being rude."
Mrs. Liu thought that she was a sister-in-law, and others should respect her, "Why do you want to be impolite?"
"Get her out, and if she dares to yell, I'll send someone to take back the mansion tomorrow!" Mrs. Pei hit Liu's weakness with one sentence. She is not afraid of being kicked out, but she is afraid that the mansion will be gone. .
Mrs. Wang wished Mrs. Liu would make a fuss.
"You... how dare you! I'm your sister-in-law!" Liu didn't dare to scream loudly, but just glared at Pei angrily.
Lu Shiming was very anxious, he didn't want to make Mrs. Pei worry, so he drank a cup of daughter-in-law tea here, and now he still wants to go to the palace.
"Master, the Second Young Master is asking to see you outside." At this moment, the servant girl came in to report.
"Tingzhi is back?" Lu Shiming's eyes lit up, "Tell him to wait for me in the study."
Liu yelled displeasedly, "Why should my son go to the study when he comes back? I want to see him."
Lu Shiming looked at her coldly, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go back to the countryside to retire?"
"I..." Mrs. Liu immediately fell silent.
