There is always a rival who wants to attack me 2

The Hanzhang Pavilion was so quiet, even though there were people kneeling on the ground, the sound of breathing was barely audible.

At this moment, Lu Hou's face was as gloomy as water, and his tightly pursed lips were a little pale because of too much force.

Half an hour ago, the servant sent out came back and told him that Nanny Xu, who had delivered Mo Shu at that time, had died of illness not long after Mo Shu was born, and there was no proof of death at this time.

And the steward who was responsible for reporting the roster to the government for records at that time also passed away unexpectedly and turned into a pile of loess.

As for Mo Shu's parents, they were released from the mansion a long time ago, and they worked as chief stewards in the Zhuangzi outside.

The only one who knew the details was Mrs. Jihou's wet nurse, Nanny Wang, who was at the ancestral hall with Lu Weiyao who had thought about it.Due to the late night, the location is special and not easy to be disturbed, so I didn't go in immediately, I had to come back first and ask Lu Hou for instructions.

"..." Lu Hou's expression was dark, and his heart was even more complicated.

The general context of the matter has become clear. Although there is no definite evidence, the whole story is also very clear.

It is exactly the same as what Cai Li Xi said just now, and this matter must have something to do with Mrs. Jihou.Just for what purpose is still open to debate.But no matter what Madam Jihou's starting point is, there is only one victim in the end, and that is Lu Yunxi.Or it can be added to a bigger one, that is the century-old prestige of the Hou Mansion.

After all, there may not be many cases of the crime of adultery in the backyard after exhausting the history books.Once the incident broke out, even the elders in the clan who admired Lu Yunxi the most and had high hopes could only make one choice, which was to fold their arms in their sleeves, abandon Lu Yunxi and keep the family honor.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Hou felt a slight chill in his heart.After sleeping together for more than ten years, Xiao Niaoyiren's stepwife secretly acted so viciously and dubiously.Could it be that she was acting in front of her?

Lu Hou's growing suspicion naturally couldn't escape Li Xi's eyes, and he also understood Madam Jihou's uneasiness.

The seed of doubt has been planted, and all that remains is for it to take root.

Time passed slowly bit by bit, and the sound of the fine sand passing through the glass bottle wall in the hourglass was also very clear due to the condensation in the room.

Soon, after three o'clock, except for those who went to the ancestral hall, other investigators came back one after another and reported what they saw and heard to Lu Hou one by one.

As more and more details were brought out, Mrs. Jihou's inner fear gradually deepened.

There are many nasty things in the deep house and compound, and there are also many methods she has used over the years.Right now, Lu Hou inspected it carefully, and found out the melon along the vine.Normally, she would have hundreds of ways to resolve it, but the current situation does not allow her to do any more calculations.

What's more, at the moment, she is right under Lu Hou's nose, and there is no room for her to plan a counterattack.Even asking for help, there is no one who can send the news.

Damn!

Mrs. Ji Hou's heart is in a mess, if there is really no other way, even if she cuts off her wrists, she must protect herself.Chess pieces can be raised, but there must be no gap between him and Lord Hou.Mrs. Ji Hou was thinking, frowning as if she had casually glanced at Mo Shu and Nanny Liu, but her eyes were particularly sinister.

Li Xi could see her thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This woman is really ruthless, even if she is in a desperate situation, she will try her best to step on the bones of others.It's a pity that she still calculates others right now, but soon, she won't have such leisure and elegance.

Looking at the time, Li Xi thought to himself that the accident should have happened.She and Lu Weiyao should repay Lu Yunxi's sufferings in the previous life.

The gong of the fourth watch has sounded, and the voice of the watchman can be heard far away through the night.The atmosphere in the bedroom became more and more oppressive, and even the rough envoy who was kneeling outside the Hanzhang Pavilion across the three-story corridor could faintly sense that a catastrophe was imminent.

Seeing Lu Hou's increasingly gloomy face, Mrs. Jihou finally couldn't help but opened her mouth to defend herself.But at this moment, a servant girl came to report: "It's bad, it's bad, Lord Hou, madam, the young master is hurt!"

"What?" Lu Hou was startled, his heart was flustered, and he hurriedly ordered someone to invite the doctor.

For Lu Weiyao's son, he really loves him.Although there are some pimples in my heart because of Mrs. Jihou, but blood is thicker than water, and it is indeed impossible to let go.

As for Mrs. Jihou, she was also worried. Regardless of the fact that she was still guilty, she quickly got up and grabbed the girl: "Tell me in detail, what's going on!"

"This...it's not a big deal..." The girl seemed to have some scruples, and her words were somewhat vague.

Seeing her faltering, Mrs. Jihou became more and more suspicious, and seeing that maid kept peeking at her, she felt that something was wrong: "What's the matter, why Yao'er was injured, is it serious? Now Who is waiting by your side, the doctor has already arrived?"

"This... this..." The little maid was forced to be at a loss by Mrs. Jihou's series of questions, her tongue was tied, she couldn't speak clearly, her face was flushed from holding back, and she kept looking at Mrs. Jihou, as if she was about to say something. dare not say.

"I'm really anxious to death!" Missing my son was so urgent, Mrs. Jihou knelt down in front of Marquis Lu again, with tears in her eyes: "Master Hou, big things are not as important as children, let's go now Look at Yao'er. As for Yunxi, let someone investigate, and in the end, no matter what the crime is, I will accept it. Please, okay?"

Lu Hou was already worried about Lu Weiyao, but also softened because of Mrs. Ji Hou's weak appearance.Sighing helplessly, he let go of his nascent doubts, and urged his servants to light up the lamps and go to the ancestral hall.

Li Xi looked at it coldly, the corners of his lips curled up in understanding, he was waiting for this opportunity.

In the original world, there was also commotion in the ancestral hall, but it was different from now. At that time, Lu Yunxi was not injured, but the one who was injured was the nanny who watched him being punished.

Lu Yunxi was pure and filial by nature, although he was fined to kneel and wronged, but facing the ancestral memorial tablet, and it was the eve of the death day of his birth mother, he absolutely could not do any rude behavior, he really knelt all night without eating any rice.

It's a pity that God was blind and couldn't see his sincerity.It was only three hours after Lu Yunxi entered the ancestral hall, the beam of the back hall broke, fell down and smashed to pieces, and directly smashed to death the lazy woman who went to the back hall.

Immediately afterwards, even the entire apse collapsed.

According to Lu Yunxi's memory, the ancestral hall was in disrepair for a long time.And after Mrs. Hou entered the mansion, she didn't want to face Mrs. Xianhou's official tablet inside, so she simply deducted the annual repair fee of the ancestral hall, only to keep the appearance bright, and ignored the rest.

After all, Marquis Lu may not go in once a year, and the Hou Mansion also worships ancestors in the old clan house in Kyoto every year.

Therefore, over the years, the front yard that is often sunny is fine, but the shady backyard has long been a gathering place for ants and insects, and it is crumbling.Lu Yunxi completely took the blame for Mrs. Jihou.

As for Lu Weiyao's injury now, it's his own fault.

When Lu Weiyao was punished, he wouldn't kneel down like Lu Yunxi did back then, and he must use the room in the backyard to live.It's only natural to be hit on the head.

The corners of her raised lips drew a gloating arc, and Li Xi raised his heels behind Lu Hou and the two, ready to go to the ancestral hall together.

In the original world, Mrs. Ji Hou completely blamed her original body, Lu Yunxi, for the collapse of the ancestral hall.Even the ancestors couldn't tolerate him, and sent down the punishment of heaven to warn the world.

As for Lu Hou, a heartless and ungrateful scum, he took advantage of the opportunity to abandon this son who was not likable since he was a child, and even acquiesced in following Mrs. Hou's actions, allowing the people in the capital to tarnish Lu Yunxi's reputation at will.

Even without Cheng Huan's knees, blood is thicker than water, how cold does it take to be so cruel and merciless?

The pain in Li Xi's eyes flashed past, and then turned into a bone-chilling chill.

The past happened again, and he wanted to see how this pair of scumbags would clear up their crystallized love.But right now, it seems that these two people don't know that their precious son has been punished by the ancestors.

Seemingly aware of Li Xi's gaze, Mrs. Ji Hou subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

The lights in the room were bright, and the young man was smiling, very elegant, and his overall appearance was exactly the same as that of the late Mrs. Xianhou.

Just like Mrs. Xianhou once used her status as a concubine to snatch away the limelight of the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, now her son may come to snatch his son's future again.

No!She will never allow it!

Blood oozes from Madam Jihou's clenched lower lip, and the look of defense in her eyes is even more anxious.

The current situation is already in jeopardy, her boudoir's reputation is at stake, and Lu Weiyao was seriously injured by an accident.

Their mother and son were originally from bad backgrounds, and they had no secure support.All the borrowings are Lu Hou's favorite pets.Once she loses it, what awaits her next will be doom, which will be more unbearable than death.

How can I do?Mrs. Jihou was very upset.

At this moment, Lu Hou also vaguely sensed a little uneasiness.He was too worried just now, and the message to the servant girl was unclear, which made him ignore many details.Now that he was blown by the night wind, he calmed down a lot.Lu Weiyao was sent to the ancestral hall in the afternoon to reflect on his mistakes, and he would be released three days later.Now that he said he was injured, could it be that there was an accident in the ancestral hall?

If something really happened in the ancestral hall, the way he just ordered someone to go to the doctor was very wrong.

Da Zhou Chongxiao, whether it was an accident or not, this matter is a scandal. As for Lu Weiyao, he will also be tainted with unknowns.

Thinking of this, Lu Hou suddenly stopped in his tracks and called the maid to ask, but was interrupted by a loud noise not far away.And the servant he sent to the ancestral hall to question him also ran over in panic and said, "Master Hou, Master Hou, it's not good. The ancestral hall... the ancestral hall has collapsed."

"What?" Lu Hou's face turned pale, and he almost lost his breath.As for Mrs. Jihou, her body became limp and her mind went blank.

And at this time, the carriage coming in from the corner gate not far away made the faces of these two people even more pale...
