"Second Grandpa, watch your attitude when you speak. Ming Yi is my wife, not some vicious woman!"

"Okay, Lu Shenxing, you dared to disobey even an elder like me for this woman! And you still have the nerve to say that she is not a vicious woman? If she wasn't a vicious woman, how could she have bewitched you into doing such a treasonous thing!"

Lu Shenxing said calmly: "Second Grandpa is too excited. Being so excited is not good for your health. Why don't you ask Second Grandpa to rest!"

As soon as Lu Shenxing finished speaking, Lu Feng brought people to lift up Old Master Lu Er.

Old Master Lu Er was so shocked that he could not help but shout loudly: "Lu Shenxing, how dare you! Let me go! Lu Shenxing, let me go! You rebellious son! How dare you treat your elders like this!"

Old Master Lu Er was carried out by Lu Feng and his men, cursing. Lu Shenxing's tough move made those in the ancestral hall who had originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to abuse their power feel nervous.

It also reminded them how ruthless Lu Shenxing's methods were.

But not everyone understood what was best for them. Other elders immediately jumped out and said, "You are really going too far! How dare you be so rude to your own elders? Who gave you the courage?"

Lu Shenxing straightened his cuffs and said nonchalantly, "Who gave me the courage? Of course it's the power in my hands."

"Here, let me remind you that you can act like an elder, but don't forget that I am now the head of the Lu family and the president of the Lu Group."

Lu Shenxing's threatening words calmed everyone down.

They were more tactful when they spoke. One of the elders said, "Shen Xing, I know you don't like people to interfere in your affairs, but this matter is unusual. Miss Chen Rou intends to hang herself in the ancestral hall. You must give an explanation in front of the ancestors of the Lu family. Otherwise, how are we supposed to explain to them? How will the Lu family members view you?"

Lu Shenxing nodded and said, "Since I'm here today, I want to solve this matter."

Lu Shenxing looked at Chen Rou: "Miss Chen, can you tell me why you came to the Lu family's ancestral hall to hang yourself? Don't tell me that you think the beams in the Lu family's ancestral hall are suitable for you to hang a rope."

Chen Rou said quickly: "No, no, I didn't want to commit suicide! I just thought about my two children refusing to acknowledge me, and I felt that my life was a failure. I don't know why, I stepped on the stool in a daze and put my neck into the rope loop..."

"By the time I reacted, the man was already dead. I have to thank the Lu family for saving me. If it weren't for them, I would have died."

Chen Rou walked up to the servant who saved her and said forcefully, "Thank you! Thank you for saving my life when no one else wanted to acknowledge me. I have no way of repaying your kindness to me!"

This behavior undoubtedly made the Lu family's evaluation of her higher.

In their view, saving lives is their duty.

Although Chen Rou has no official status now, she is the biological mother of two children after all. With this relationship, she is no longer an unknown person in the Lu family and can be considered a master.

And if a master is willing to express gratitude to a servant, it means that she has a conscience.

Compared with the conscientious Chen Rou, Song Mingyi, who has been watching coldly, seems cold-hearted.

Immediately, people from the Lu family attacked Song Mingyi.

"Song Mingyi, don't you have anything to say?"

"What are you talking about? You're saying that Miss Chen is really talented and can even come up with such nonsense. Am I really impressed by her?"

Chen Rou's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard Song Mingyi's words. She said, "Miss Song, I know that you are very dissatisfied with my sudden appearance, but I have also said many times that I have never dreamed of becoming Mrs. Lu. Don't treat me as an imaginary enemy, let alone say such insulting words..."

"Insulting words?" Song Mingyi smiled and said, "May I ask what insulting words did I say to you? You said that you accidentally put your neck into the rope loop. Although this excuse is ridiculous, I was trying to believe you, wasn't I? Maybe I failed a little, which is why you feel offended. If that's the case, I apologize to you. Please don't mind."

"You!" Chen Rou was so angry.

Song Mingyi didn't care about Chen Rou's anger and said, "But I think that compared to why Miss Chen chose to hang herself, what you should explain most is who gave you the advice and made you choose to hang yourself."

She gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! I have to say, you played really well this time!"

Chen Rou's expression changed and she said, "I don't know what you are talking about, Miss Song."

Song Mingyi nodded and said, "It would be best if Miss Chen didn't know what I was saying."

"But I have to remind Miss Song that acting can turn into reality. For example, today's servant had a stomachache and went to the bathroom, or he received a phone call when he entered the ancestral hall. Although the delay was only a few minutes, you would lose your life."

"Of course, if you are sure you want to make this bet, then it's up to you. I just won't say anything more."

Chen Rou's expression changed and she began to feel afraid.

Although she was saved just now, as Tu Song Mingyi said, if the servants had not arrived in time, her life would have been lost here today.

Yes, she had big ambitions. She wanted to be Lu Shenxing’s wife, the mother of two children, and the young lady of the entire Lu family.

But no matter what she plans, she has to stay alive first.

But no matter how scared she was, Chen Rou didn't dare to show it, and just said: "I said it was just an accident."

Lu Shenxing nodded and said, "Okay, an accident is good, so I would like to ask Miss Chen to explain what kind of accident led you to the Lu family's ancestral hall."

"I just came in in a daze. Maybe I was guided by my ancestors."

Song Mingyi smiled when he heard this.

Chen Rou frowned and looked a little annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Shenxing said: "Of course I am laughing at you! Perhaps you don't know that those standing in this ancestral hall today, even if they are just servants of the Lu family, have served the Lu family for three generations."

"Are you asking me, my superior? I'm thinking of you. Everyone has a close relationship with the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall. The ancestors don't guide us, their descendants, but instead guide you, a woman with evil intentions. Are you accusing our ancestors of being confused?"

As Lu Shenxing spoke, a tablet fell down and landed on the ground with a bang.

The sound startled all the Lu family members.

Mr. Lu frowned and said, "Be careful with your actions and words. This is a matter concerning our ancestors. Don't talk nonsense!"

As he said this, Mr. Lu personally stepped forward to lift up the ancestral tablet, clasped his hands together, and apologized on behalf of Lu Shenxing.

The other members of the Lu family also followed Mr. Lu and lit a stick of incense.

Chen Rou saw it, and her original indifference turned into awe.

But it is absolutely impossible to let Chen Rou give up like this.
