After coming out of Zhuo Yarong's room, Xinluo and Yuchen went to the lawn behind the villa.
It's open here, with a clear view, so there's no need to worry about being eavesdropped.
"Yuchen, who is the person in Qinglong Temple you are talking about? And just now... Lu Qi clearly said that he didn't want to go down the mountain, why did you tell others that he was willing to come down?"
Xinluo held Lu Yuchen's arm, her eyes full of worry.
She didn't know why Mr. Lu would take the risk of lying. Even if it was just to delay time, he had many other options.
Zhuo Yarong just told them that although she did tell Zhuo Mingjin that Mr. Lu had a dual personality, the recording that Lu Huanting played was tampered with.
She never said that Mr. Lu was sick, let alone that he had a tendency to self-harm.
That recording is fake. As long as we can find evidence of it, we can turn the tables.
"Don't be anxious, let's go over and sit down, I'll tell you a story." Uncle Lu took Xinluo's hand and walked towards the rattan chair in the backyard.
He took Xinluo's arm and sat down, slowly telling her about a grudge that happened in the Lu family's previous generation.
"The Lu family had two brothers in their previous generation. The elder one was Lu Yunkun and the younger one was Lu Yunhe. They were born to the same mother and grew up together. They have a very good relationship."
Xinluo knew that Mr. Lu’s name was Lu Yunkun.
Then this Lu Yunhe is naturally Mr. Lu’s younger brother, and Lu Yuchen’s great uncle.
Thinking of the conversation between Zhuo Yarong and Lu Yuchen...
"So, the one at Qinglong Temple is Lu Yunhe, your great uncle?"
"Yeah." Mr. Lu nodded.
"Why is he in Qinglong Temple? I remember that grandma used to go to Qinglong Temple often, and mom also lived there for a long time."
When Mr. Lu heard Xinluo's words, a strange light flashed in his deep black eyes.
It was not his place to comment on the grievances among the elders, but...
"Because my grandma was actually my great-uncle's fiancée. They were childhood sweethearts and loved each other. It was my grandpa who... took my grandma away while my great-uncle was away."
"W-what!?" Xinluo stared with her beautiful eyes in disbelief.
Mr. Lu was so tough back then, and his own brother's fiancée was also...
"In short, because of this incident, my uncle and grandpa are completely opposed. He is different from Lu Huanting. Grandpa said that the two brothers are almost equal in ability and courage. In order to get grandma, grandpa and my uncle started a fierce battle. In the end, he was lucky and sat on the position of the head of the family."
"What about your great uncle? He went to Qinglong Temple because he was defeated?"
"You can say that." Master Lu looked into the distance, his eyes becoming dim and unclear.
"Perhaps, that was also a kind of self-exile. It is said that my uncle loved my grandmother so much that he never married and even voluntarily became a monk. But my grandmother said that the real reason he went to the mountain was because when he was ambushed by enemies, my grandfather blocked the bullet for him and saved his life."
"After that, my uncle suddenly disappeared. It was not until several months later that my grandpa and grandma found him in Qinglong Temple."
Lu Yun and Shangshan completely cut off all contact with the world.
But Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu felt guilty towards Lu Yunhe, and besides, the person they trusted the most in this world was their own brother.
So, even if Lu Yunhe stubbornly imprisoned himself on the mountain and swears never to come down.
But Mr. Lu still sent him many gifts over the years.
The newly developed oil fields in the Middle East, the newly purchased diamond mines in South Africa, and the newly acquired company shares in the United States were all sent to him for safekeeping.
Lu Huanting was disobedient and Lu Yuchen was young, so Mr. Lu and Grandma Lu entrusted the entire Lu family to this uncle.
"Everyone outside thinks that my uncle is dead. But everyone in the Lu family knows that my uncle is not only alive, but also holds the real power of the Lu family."
Lu Yunhe was once a powerful figure and was able to compete with Old Man Lu, so his prestige was naturally great.
And in his hands, he still holds the truly valuable things of the Lu family, and no one in the entire Lu family dares to offend him.
