Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Lu family.

"Yes, Tongzhou, you must be tired and hungry after traveling for such a long time. Why don't I ask the kitchen to prepare some food and go have a rest first."

Lu Wenbo's concubine also looked at the young man kneeling on the ground, sobbing and speaking comfortingly, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with the silk handkerchief as he spoke.

Lu Wenbo lost his wife in his early years, so he married two concubines successively. However, except for his first wife who gave birth to a son for him, the other two did not have children for many years.

The person speaking at this time was the first concubine, Jiang Xiaohe. He was also the head of the Lu family and was in charge of all affairs of the Lu family since Lu Wenbo's death.

The young man kneeling on the ground was Lu Wenbo's only son, Lu Tongzhou.

Lu Tongzhou has always liked to travel in the world. He ran away from home many years ago in order to make a career in the world. He went to seek apprenticeships from various teachers. He has not been back for several years. After hearing the news that his father was killed, he finally returned to Kyoto.

"Who killed my father?! Have you found out?!"

Lu Tongzhou knelt motionless in front of the coffin, ignoring Jiang Xiaohe's concern, and asked in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment and closed their mouths.

It's not that they dare not say it, but they don't know about it at all, because no one in the Lu family has investigated this matter since Lu Wenbo's death.

With the murder of Lu Wenbo, the disciples who were originally attached to the Lu family had already left. In addition, the second emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen was banned from the Jinxiu Palace, and the princess had no time to interfere with the affairs of the Lu family. The Lu family, which was once prominent, So quietly declined.

The remaining family members are all women. Who dares to cause more trouble and take the risk to find out who is the murderer behind it?

Everyone knew that the murderer was not targeting the Lu family, but the Jinxiu Palace. How could they afford to offend someone who could be an enemy of the Jinxiu Palace? !

"I'm asking a question, answer me!"

After waiting for a long time and finding no one spoke, Lu Tongzhou's face suddenly darkened and he asked sharply.

When Jiang Xiaohe saw this, he immediately winked at Pan Sheng, who was looking nervous.

"If I go back to the young master, I haven't found anything yet..."

Pan Sheng shrank his neck and replied timidly.

"Is it not found, or is it not checked at all?!"

Lu Tongzhou slowly turned his head to look at Pan Sheng and asked word by word.

"Master, spare your life!"

"It's not that we don't investigate, it's that we don't dare to investigate!"

"After the death of the head of the family, something happened to the Jinxiu Palace. The other party must have a complicated background. If another fatal disaster occurs, the Lu family may suffer again..."

Pan Sheng was shocked and knelt directly on the ground, defending with a grimace.

Lu Tongzhou gritted his teeth and finally stood up slowly, then turned to look at Jiang Xiaohe with a gloomy expression.

Looking at Lu Tongzhou with a cannibalistic look, Jiang Xiaohe swallowed subconsciously and averted his eyes nervously.

"Did you give the order not to allow the investigation?!"

Lu Tongzhou looked at Jiang Xiaohe coldly and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't!"

Jiang Xiaohe was stunned for a moment and hurriedly waved his hands to deny.

"Don't think that I don't know anything! Isn't the reason why you married into the Lu family just to covet glory and wealth?!"

"After your father died, did you think you had a chance?! Want to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up all the Lu family's property?!"

Lu Tongzhou snorted coldly and asked disdainfully.

"I don't..."

"You...stop talking nonsense!"

"After all, I can be considered your aunt. I'm still dead. Are you talking to me like this?!"

Jiang Xiaohe looked flustered, pointed at Lu Tongzhou with one finger, and said with aggrieved face.

But seeing Jiang Xiaohe's face, Lu Tongzhou felt even more disgusted, and all the resentment in his heart was palpable.

"Sir, you shouldn't talk to Madam like that."

At this time, Jiang Xiaohe's personal maid seemed to see her master being bullied, and she didn't know where she got the courage to suddenly stand up and say something.

After hearing this, Lu Tongzhou became angry for a moment, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and swung it out like lightning!

As a stream of blood spurted out, the maid didn't even have time to scream and fell directly into a pool of blood, killing her on the spot!

"what!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaohe screamed and fainted from fright.

Everyone else around him was also in panic, and they were all at a loss.

"Madam?! Madam?!"

"Hurry up, Madam, and go back first, and call for the doctor right away!"

The housekeeper Pan Sheng looked panicked and hurriedly helped Jiang Xiaohe out, who was stunned. The others also took the opportunity to quickly leave the ancestral hall, leaving only Pan Sheng who did not dare to escape without authorization.

Pan Sheng looked at the empty ancestral hall and then at the menacing Lu Tongzhou. He swallowed nervously and felt a little at a loss.

"No clues at all?!"

After Lu Tongzhou hesitated for a long time, he finally spoke again, the anger in his heart gradually calming down.

His father's body was still cold, and he didn't want to tangle with Mr. Jiang anymore, lest his father would live in peace.

"No..."

Pan Sheng shook his head helplessly and answered cautiously.

"What did the Yamen say?!"

"The Lu family are relatives of the emperor. If my father is dead, why don't they even ask questions?!"

Lu Tongzhou asked unwillingly.

"After the death of the family master, the Xiaoqi Guards and the Jin Wu Guards have been pursuing the investigation, and the Jin Yi Guards have also been dispatched. However, the investigation suddenly stopped not long after. I don't know why..."

"Since then, this matter has been nothing..."

Pan Sheng paused and answered slowly.

Hearing this, Lu Tongzhou couldn't help but frown. It can be seen that there must be some ulterior secret hidden behind this matter!

"Sir, since you have returned to Kyoto, we have a backbone. Why don't you go into the palace and ask the Crown Princess if she can do anything?"

Pan Sheng hesitated for a moment and reminded him.

"No need!"

"If she really cared about the Lu family, she wouldn't have ignored her father for so long after his death! In her heart, she has always only had her son!"

"Over the years, our Lu family has always been her tool to fight for favor and power!"

Lu Tongzhou snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

Hearing this, Pan Sheng couldn't help but shrink his neck and didn't dare to speak.

"Find a way to contact those Jianghu disciples who have dispersed and tell them that I am back. If they are willing to continue to come back and attach themselves to the Lu family, the Lu family will open their doors to welcome them!"

"They have taken so many benefits from the Lu family over the years. If anyone dares to deny it, even if the Lu family is in decline, the Qingxuan Sect behind this young master will not let them go!"

After Lu Tongzhou thought for a moment, he said coldly.

"Yes!"

After Pan Sheng heard this, he immediately agreed respectfully and left quickly.

Lu Tongzhou stood alone in the ancestral hall, looking at his father's tomb, with a hint of sadness once again between his brows.

"Father, don't worry, no matter who is the person who kills you, I will make him pay with blood and avenge you!"

...

Splendid Palace.

Li Jinglong hurried into the palace and went directly to Zhu Yunwen's bedroom.

Since he has been banned from the palace, Zhu Yunwen has long lost his former look. Not only is he much more haggard, he is also unkempt all day long and his beard has grown.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Li Jinglong entering the palace in a hurry, Zhu Yunwen just looked up in boredom and asked casually, with a half-dead expression.

In fact, at the beginning, although he was grounded, he still worked diligently every day and spent all his time studying. However, as time went by, he began to sink more and more because he never thought about it. Grandpa Guo Huang’s ban will continue to this day.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I just found out some news and feel it is necessary to tell Your Highness."

Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Yunwen pretending to be mysterious and lowered his voice.

But when Zhu Yunwen heard what he said, he didn't show any interest and didn't even ask a question.

"After investigation, it was found that after Geng Bingwen's son Geng Xuan was released by the Ministry of Punishment, he secretly went to Tianxiang Tower to secretly meet with the grandson of the Third Emperor!"

Li Jinglong sighed secretly with some disappointment, stopped trying to be pretentious, and spoke directly.

But after Zhu Yunwen heard these words, he still looked indifferent. He didn't even raise his head and drank alone.

After Geng Xuan's drunken murder case was solved, Li Jinglong went to the palace and told Zhu Yunwen the whole thing, but Zhu Yunwen seemed to have lost interest in everything and didn't care at all.

Now, he seems to be completely helpless.

"Your Highness! Can you cheer up?!"

"Are you really going to give up like that?!"

Li Jinglong gritted his teeth, suddenly took two steps forward, glared at Zhu Yunwen who looked decadent, and asked sternly.

It was related to his own future. He couldn't care about that much at the moment. He had to wake up Zhu Yunwen in front of him...
