But after not seeing each other for a year, Mrs. Zhong was so excited, Xu Yi was speechless. Seeing this situation, he was a little worried that he would not be able to play Zhong Ruyi well, because this cheap mother is too clingy. Every time Jiang Xiao came, he would bring all kinds of daily necessities sent by Mrs. Lu Guogong.
Obviously, in the eyes of Mrs. Lu Guogong, Zhong Ruyi is not a monk who has lost her mortal womb, but her only son. Sure enough, after Mrs. Lu Guogong woke up, she grabbed his hand and refused to let go, talking non-stop, as if she wanted to make up for everything she hadn't said this year.
Especially after hearing that Zhong Ruyi had achieved the Wheel of Fate, Mrs. Lu Guogong shouted the Buddha's name excitedly, and repeatedly lamented the virtue of Zhong's ancestors. In the end, I want to comfort Xu Yi not to care about abolishing the life wheel or not, as long as he can inherit the position of Duke, he will marry a girl from the Luo family in the future and live a good life.
Apparently, the news that he had achieved the second realm of the wheel of life did not come back, and the Duke of Lu State still received the last wave of news. Xu Yi patiently accompanied Lu Guogong's wife, feeling very complicated in his heart, he couldn't help but think of some dead Zhong Ruyi, no matter what, he always missed his mother all the time.
Finally, it wasn't until Yuanyang, the lady's personal servant girl, came to report that the banquet had been prepared and the Duke's guard of honor had passed through South Street, and then Mrs. Lu Guogong let go of Zhong Ruyi's hand, and ordered the maid to take the lead. Follow Zhong Ruyi to change clothes, ready to meet the master.
After half a stick of incense, Xu Yi met Lu Guogong Zhong Lin, who was about forty years old, with high brows, had held military power for many years, and was very powerful. Seeing Xu Yi, he was far from as excited as Mrs. Zhong, but he just watched deeply. She glanced at him, waved him to get up, and went back to the backyard to change clothes.
Afterwards, everyone went to Huarong Hall, where more than ten banquets had been held. This time when Zhong Ruyi came back, Mrs. Zhong gave a big banquet to the clan members, secretly intending to announce to the clan that his son Zhong Ruyi had achieved success. After reaching the Wheel of Fate, he is the legitimate heir of Lu Guogong.
During the whole feast, Xu Yi kept drinking. Either Mrs. Zhong led him to toast to the elders of the clan, or some younger generation came to make friends and toast to him. He drank until his glass was dry, but his words were still clumsy. , he always felt that Lu Guogong was not very close to him.
However, in Dong Chao's notes, it seems to be recorded that Lu Guogong has always been strict with Zhong Ruyi and rarely gets close. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the door of Huarong Hall fell off and hit the ground heavily, and a figure came striding forward. The man was in his thirties, and he looked a bit like Lu Guogong.
With a thought in Xu Yi's mind, he immediately guessed who it was. Most likely it was Zhong Shu, the younger brother of Lu Guogong Zhong Lin's concubine. Although they are close relatives, they seldom move around. Zhong Shu came to the door with great fanfare today, obviously there is a story.
"Big brother, all uncles are well. I heard that Ruyi has returned from her studies. Although I am an uncle, I have not been invited, but I am here to ask for a glass of water and wine. The amount will not be annoying." Zhong Shu said Lie Lie picked up a chair, placed it on the main table, and sat down.
Zhong Lin looked stern, and said in a deep voice, "Won't Ruyi pour wine for your second uncle?" Xu Yi frowned slightly, and Zhong Shu laughed, "I don't drink the wine my son poured, why don't I let my sister-in-law serve it for me? Eighteen years ago, my sister-in-law Qiong Fang's reputation overshadowed the entire Fanyang."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was completely silent, Mrs. Zhong's pretty face turned pale, Zhong Lin said coldly, "Second, what's the matter with you, let's talk about it another day, I won't invite you for this glass of water and wine, see you off!" The butler hurried forward and bowed to Zhong Shu, "Second Lord, please."
With a slap, Zhong Shu slapped the butler loudly, "You stupid slave. Anyway, since the eldest brother doesn't want to buy me a drink, let's talk about it. Father's title, I think it should be Returned to its original owner.”
There was an uproar in the audience, two elders of the Zhong family pointed at Zhong Shu and scolded in pain, Zhong Shu stared at him with murderous intent, the two elders immediately fell silent. Zhong Shu sneered and said, "Back then, my elder brother's talent was not as good as mine, but it was my father's partiality. How many resources did my elder brother get to cultivate the life wheel? On the other hand, I became a life wheel without any resources at home. Now I hit the second stage. Realm is only a matter of time. But you, brother, in the battle against Chu, you went to Langya Mountain by mistake, almost wiped out the 30,000 dragon and tiger army, and you were seriously injured, and now your realm has fallen from the second stage to the first stage."
"It's impossible to be diligent in this life. Although your little Zhong Ruyi was lucky enough to achieve the first stage of the life wheel, who doesn't know that he is a stone infant and a wheel, and he is almost a useless person. He won the title of Lu Guogong. If you have any consideration for the family, you should give me the position of Duke Lu. At that time, you will roam around the forest with your newly adopted concubine and newborn child. Isn’t it good to live like a fairy? As for Mrs. Sister-in-law, since you are ruthless to her, brother, why don’t you help me take care of her? If it wasn’t for that old thief back then, she should be brother’s sister-in-law.”
Zhong Shu made it clear that he had come to make trouble at the critical moment when the Zhong family banquet and his family wanted to decide the overall situation, but no one expected that he would be so bold that he would directly show his minions to Lu Guogong, and even It revealed a lot of inside stories that no one knew.
Is the owner really guilty? This is not important, the most frightening thing is that if the Patriarch really falls, it will shake the foundation of Lu Guogong's title. The big tree will fall, and the flowers and plants growing on the leaves, how can we not worry
"Zhong Shu, you retreat now, I won't hold you accountable." Zhong Lin sat still, his gaze extremely stern, "If you continue to entangle, your name and surname will not be recorded in the genealogy."
Zhong Shu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Zhong Lin, you really think that I care about that broken booklet, the seat of Lu Guogong, if it wasn't left by your father, you think I would care about it. Have you ever wondered why you went to Langya Mountain by mistake and how did the 30,000 dragon and tiger soldiers die? You fool took a life by chance, and you still don’t know how to repent, and you’re still struggling. Hehe, your death is certainly not a pity, Duke Lu If my title disappears, I will have no face to see my late father."
As if struck by lightning, Zhong Lin's eyes staring at Zhong Shu suddenly overflowed with blood, his whole body vented violently, suddenly, a big mouthful of blood spewed out, and his body limp and fell down. There was a sudden chaos in the arena, Zhong Lin shouted coldly, "Why panic, the Zhong family will not collapse with Lao Tzu here. You should return to your respective positions."
With that said, Zhong Lin went to Mrs. Zhong, staring at her, eyes full of desire, "Shiya, your hard life is over, soon, the Zhong family will change owners, don't worry, I don't like Zhong Lin is not a thing, seeing your son is not good enough, hurry up and have a baby, I only want you, come, let's drink..." As he spoke, he reached out to wrap his arms around Mrs. Zhong's slender waist.
