Chapter 1362: Side Story: Follow-up of the Lu Family (4)
Lu Deyin had been intelligent since she was young. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have noticed the abnormality at such a young age, and her father wouldn’t have told her about such a life-threatening matter.
At that time, Second Brother Lu had been betrayed by his elder brother and father one after another. He had also been placed under house arrest and threatened with his children. Filled with despair, he felt that he would not live long, so when his daughter asked, he told her everything.
He knew that his daughter was smart and good at enduring. He told her that if he died, she was the only one who could protect herself and her brother and ensure they lived on. Therefore, she had to endure it and face her grandfather and uncle with a smile.
Fortunately, Old Master Lu and Eldest Master Lu were too ashamed to see Second Brother Lu at that time, so they rarely went to the second branch. Thus, they only met a few times a year. Hence, although Lu Deyin couldn’t control her emotions and expressions at the beginning, nobody discovered she was aware of the truth.
It was not until she was ten years old that her grandfather suddenly thought of her for some reason. He began to dote on her and heap praises on her. As she had been working on not letting her emotions show on her face in the past three years, she could then look at her grandfather with longing.
However, she was under the impression that the most vicious thing her grandfather had ever done was threaten her father with her and her brother. Therefore, although she blamed her grandfather, she didn’t exactly hate him.
Until she discovered that her father’s deterioration day by day was because of her grandfather.
All these years, her grandfather had stopped her father from going out, but he had also stopped his uncle from hurting his father and them again. But now, it seemed that his grandfather had chosen her eldest uncle again this time. Moreover, he had personally stepped in to speed up her father’s death.
Lu Deyin’s father had always been her harbor and her pillar of support. At that moment, the rage in her heart reached its peak, but after the rage passed, she calmed down.
So she snuck into her grandfather’s study late one night.
Lu Deyin knew what he cared about the most—it was none other than the Lu clan’s reputation and the power of the Lu clan’s legitimate branch.
Hence, she told him that she had sent out the evidence gathered by her father. Once her father died, three copies of the evidence would be produced. They would respectively be sent to her mother’s family, the authorities, and the Lu family’s enemy’s house.
