Chapter 1359: Side Story: Follow-up of the Lu Family (1)
Lu Deyin was not in a hurry to avenge her parents. Having already waited for so many years, so what if she waited a little longer?
Since she had just married into the Qi family, not only did she have to get used to her husband, but she also had to build a good relationship with her mother-in-law. Since she knew that her younger brother was someplace safe, she wasn’t in a hurry.
But even though she was not in a hurry, Eldest Master Lu was!
He was dying to know why his Fourth Brother was investigating him and how much he’d found out. He was anxious to get rid of the people who knew about this. He was also anxious to control Lu Jiashu and prevent Lu Deyin, who had married into a wealthy family, from escaping his control.
When one was anxious, mistakes were inevitable. Lu Deyin had only returned home for two days before a huge scandal broke out in the Lu family.
Eldest Master Lu failed to poison Fourth Master Lu, giving the latter a hold over him.
Lu Deyin walked out without thinking. Qi Wenjin happened to come back from the government office. When he saw her, he quickly stopped her. "Aren’t you giving others a chance to gossip about you by leaving so rashly? Why don’t you get Jiashu to pick you up?"
With a smile, Qi Wenjin said, "I’ll make some arrangements. If you are the one exposing certain things, others will blame you even if they believe you. However, if it comes from another person’s mouth or if the perpetrator takes the initiative to act, you’ll be the victim."
Lu Deyin felt a lump in her throat. She turned her head and blinked away her tears before turning back to her husband. "I have some trusted servants. Since no one knows that they’re from our second branch, it’s best if they step in. However, I have to redeem them after this."
Qi Wenjin nodded and said, "You’re now the Princess Consort of King Rong’s estate. Wouldn’t it be easy for you to ask the Lu family for a few servants? You don’t have to worry about them gossiping."
