Rong Yumo picked up the spoon and elegantly added a bowl of porridge to Lu Qiongqi, as if she didn't care where Lu Zhanyan went.

Lu Qiongqi held the bowl of porridge but couldn't swallow it.

She asked, "Did my eldest brother have a fight with you?"

Rong Yumo did not deny it. She nodded, took another piece of hibiscus cake and took a small bite. It was obvious that her mood and appetite were not affected.

He said calmly, "We had a fight, and after that he ran away from home."

It could make Lu Zhanyan so angry that he ran away from home.

My sister-in-law is really capable.

Lu Qiongqi asked cautiously, "Sister Yumo, will you feel uncomfortable if my brother goes to find Zhou Chengwei?"

Rong Yumo picked up the wet towel on the table, wiped her hands, and then said, "Actually, I'm very angry, Qiqi."

Lu Qiongqi:.......I really can’t tell at all.

When everyone had almost finished their meal, Rong Yumo said, "Bai Anan, please step aside for a moment."

Bai Anan had already eaten her fill, but she didn't want to miss this big gossip, so she said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you want to avoid it? What are you guys planning? Is there anything I can't listen to?"

Lu Qiongqi said bluntly: "We are talking about family matters. It has nothing to do with you, an outsider. Please leave quickly."

Bai Anan pointed at herself and said, "I am an outsider?" Then she looked at Rong Yumo and said, "Then she is also an outsider. We are all guests of the Lu family. Why are we divided into different levels? It's not fair."

This young lady actually still believes in fairness.

Lu Qiongqi explained to her what fairness was.

"Believe it or not, she, an outsider, can ask the housekeeper to call a few people to carry you, an outsider, out and throw you at the door."

After last night, Bai Anan's impression of Rong Yumo changed drastically.

She even dared to chase Lu Zhanyan out, let alone her.

Bai Anan looked at the two of them suspiciously, and only went upstairs reluctantly when she saw Lu Qiongqi's increasingly impatient look.

Uncle Lin also consciously took the other servants to avoid it.

The two moved from the dining table to the living room and sat opposite each other.

Lu Qiongqi looked at Rong Yumo's expression, which was still gentle, but she had a bad feeling.

Rong and Mo held hands and brewed a pot of scented tea. They watched the boiling hot water rush into the transparent pot and the white water spread out in a pink color. She spoke softly.

"Qiqi, do you know why I am angry?"

Lu Qiongqi looked at her hand movements and replied, "Because my eldest brother did not come home at night, he went to Zhou's house."

"No."

Rong Yumo put down the container of boiling water and looked at her straight.

"It's because of you."

Because he was angry? Lu Qiongqi recalled what he had done since he was discharged from the hospital. It didn't seem to be anything too out of the ordinary.

.......Bar?

Although she didn't know the exact reason, for the sake of harmony between her brother and sister-in-law, she didn't mind suffering a little bit of grievance.

Lu Qiongqi, who was always tough with others, changed his demeanor in front of Rong Yumo.

She said in a soft voice, "Sister Yumo, I secretly went out yesterday without telling you, and I didn't listen to your advice to have a good rest. It's my fault. Don't be angry."

Rong Yumo looked into her dark eyes and said, "You still know that you are a patient who has just been discharged from the hospital."

Lu Qiongqi immediately began to make assurances in a sincere manner.

"Look, I'm back safe and sound. If it happens again, I will definitely tell you in advance."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of brewed scented tea and handed it to Rong Yumo.

"But it's not just because of this." Rong Yumo didn't take it, but her tone became serious: "Qiqi, there is something you must know."

Is there any other reason?

The cup of tea had been in his hand for a long time and was a little hot. Lu Qiongqi asked, "What is it?"

"The marriage between the Zhou and Lu families cannot be cancelled."

The ingratiating smile on Lu Qiongqi's lips gradually faded, and she put the cup of tea on the table.

Everyone says that they cannot cancel the marriage. Is this marriage ironclad?

Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, Rong Yumo asked, "Qiqi, do you know who arranged this marriage?"

Love so and so!

Lu Qiongqi was so angry that she turned her head away and refused to look at her again.

Rong Yumo sighed softly: "This marriage was arranged by my adoptive parents, Zhou Chengwei's parents. This was their last wish."

Lu Qiongqi was stunned. She slowly turned her head and murmured.

"how so……"

The first thought that flashed through her mind was - Zhou Ceyan's parents have passed away? No wonder he sometimes looked a little depressed.

Rong Yumo's brows were tightly furrowed, and the sorrow in her eyes was as hard to dissolve as thick ink.

"Ten years ago, there was an explosion in Yongcheng that shocked the whole country. You were young at that time, so you may not remember it."

Lu Qiongqi really didn't know.

"At that time, the Lu family was headed by your father, Lu Fengkai. He was a new noble in Yongcheng, so he naturally attracted attention and a lot of jealousy. Therefore, someone deliberately sabotaged the construction site of an important project of the Lu family."

"Uncle Zhou was the municipal party committee leader in charge of land use planning at the time. He personally went to the scene to direct the work. Zhou Ding'an, the eldest son of the Zhou family, was a blasting consultant sent by the provincial department. But Aunt Zhou also went to the scene for some reason."

Lu Qiongqi was worried and asked what happened: "How did the accident happen?"

Rong Yumo clenched her fingers and recalled the scene again. She tried to keep her voice steady.

She replied: "I don't know the details of the accident. The police department has not yet released the details of the case, but Zhou's parents and eldest brother all died while trying to save your father Lu Fengkai."

Lu Qiongqi's heart seemed to be suddenly blocked by a huge rock.

In order to save Lu Fengkai, several lives were lost in vain.

Lu Fengkai might as well just die.

She asked again: "What about the criminal? Was he caught later?"

There was hatred in Rong Yumo's eyes: "The criminal also died in the fire." In the end, there was no evidence and the clues of the case were lost.

The construction site of the project was extremely tragic. I heard that there was not even a complete body left, only broken bones.

It was Zhou Ceyan who buried the body himself.

Whenever Rong Yumo thought of Zhou Ceyan's horrible appearance at that time, she felt a chill and her lips turned pale.

The second son of the Zhou family, who was free and unrestrained in his carefree life, suddenly learned the news of the death of his parents and eldest brother. He rushed all the way to the scene of the accident, but found that even the bones of his closest relatives could not be put together properly.

Everyone was worried that Zhou Ceyan would go crazy, but he didn't. He looked frighteningly calm, as if he had surpassed the limit of grief.

Half a month later, he went to the military region.

In just half a year, he became the chief's personal guard.

Two years later, the name Zhou Ceyan had already become famous in both the military and political circles.

A man's growth often only takes a moment, but this moment is so cruel that it is unacceptable and so painful that it is suffocating.

But Zhou Ceyan took on the burden of the Zhou family.

Lu Qiongqi listened to Rong Yumo's narration with narrowed eyes. This matter sounded strange. Why would Madam Zhou want to go there for no reason?

An explosion.

The death of three backbones of the Zhou family directly destroyed the prosperous Zhou family.

After this disaster, whoever has a vested interest will be the biggest suspect.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Lu Qiongqi's eyes.

Now that she's here, this matter won't end here.
