Chapter 401: Lu Family 1
Three days later, Ling Xiao's vacation ended, and he reluctantly said goodbye to Ling Jingshu: "A Shu, I have to go back to the Imperial College."
Ling Jingshu smiled and said: "Schoolwork is important, go quickly! I will stay in the mansion for the next few months and will not go out at all. You can see me when you come back on your day off."
Ling Xiao was still reluctant to leave: "I only have one day off every two weeks."
Before, she praised him for growing up and becoming mature, but when he got close to her, his innocent and cute appearance returned.
Ling Jingshu felt touched and amused, and coaxed him like a child: "Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye."
"You will be married in a few months." Ling Xiao frowned and said sullenly: "After you get married, you will live with Wei Yan. It's not easy for me to see you."
Ling Jingshu held back her laughter and assured him seriously: "Even if you get married, I am still your sister. You can come to see me anytime. Besides, the residence awarded by the emperor is in the capital, very close to the Imperial College. It will be more convenient for you to come and see me then!"
After much effort, Ling Xiao finally let go of his worries and left happily.
As soon as Ling Xiao left, Bai Yu, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help laughing: "No wonder Master Xiao has been clinging to Miss these days. It turns out that he can't bear to leave Miss."
Ling Jingshu thought of Ling Xiao's pitiful look of fear of being left alone, and felt both funny and distressed. She sighed and said: "I have been in the palace for more than two years. Even the news of the seal cannot be spread. We grew up together and depended on each other. We have never been apart for so long. He lives alone in his uncle's house. He must be very lonely."
So, he was particularly clingy and couldn't bear to leave her.
Bai Yu smiled and comforted: "Haven't you survived now? After the young lady marries the imperial physician Wei, she will live in the capital for a long time. It will also be convenient for her to take care of Master Xiao. If Master Xiao doesn't want to live in the Ling Mansion anymore, he can live with the young lady in the future."
After a pause, he smiled mischievously and said, "With the temper of the son-in-law, I don't think he will object."
Hearing the word "son-in-law", Ling Jingshu's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she spit at Bai Yu lightly: "Don't call me that. You haven't got married yet, why call me son-in-law."
If someone hears it, it would be embarrassing.
Bai Yu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? This is a marriage personally arranged by the Queen Mother, and it is a foregone conclusion that the young lady will marry the son-in-law. It doesn't matter if I call you son-in-law a few times in advance. It's a pity that the son-in-law is not here now, otherwise he would be happy to reward me when he heard me call him that."
"Good Bai Yu! You are determined to make fun of me today, right!" Ling Jingshu stood up with a red face: "I will tear your mouth off."
The master and servant laughed and made a mess.
Qiao Yun suddenly stepped in, her tone strangely cautious: "Miss, I have something important to report."
Ling Jingshu paused, her smile also withered: "What is it?"
Qiao Yun hesitated for a moment, and took out a delicate bamboo tube in front of Bai Yu: "His Royal Highness sent a letter. He also asked me to pass on a message, saying that he had done what he promised to Miss."
Promised things...
Ling Jingshu trembled all over when she heard the words.
Ling Jingshu almost couldn't wait to take the bamboo tube, quickly opened it, and then opened the paper roll to read.
Not knowing what was written in the letter, Ling Jingshu read it over and over again, her eyes suddenly watery, and the hand holding the paper roll trembled constantly.
Although Bai Yu was puzzled, she didn't ask considerately. She looked at Qiao Yun and left together.
Ling Jingshu was the only one left in the room.
Ling Jingshu could no longer control her excitement, tears kept pouring out of her eyes and dripping onto the letter paper. The ink was blurred.
…
The case of the assassination of the emperor and the prince by Prince Yan has been transferred to the clan court and the Dali Temple for joint interrogation. Prince Yan is the mastermind, and Prince An is the accomplice. Some of Prince Yan's followers also participated in the case.
Lu Ping, the head of the Ministry of War, had ulterior motives and secretly colluded with Prince Yan to participate in the assassination in the palace. After careful investigation, the evidence is conclusive. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the crime is also implicated by the Lu family.
Lu Ping was dismissed on the spot and imprisoned in Tianlao, waiting to be executed in the future. Lu Ping's brother Lu An was stripped of his official position and escorted to the capital with his family for disposal.
This news has not yet spread in the court. After you receive the news, just know it in your mind, and remember not to make it public. Even the Ling family cannot reveal a word.
The few short sentences on the letter paper, with a cold and murderous aura, rushed towards him.
The Crown Prince did not break his promise. In just a few months, he "discovered" the evidence of Lupin's rebellion.
The Lu family is completely finished!
Anyone who is involved in conspiracy and rebellion will be punished with the extermination of the entire clan. Prince Yan and Prince An are both princes, the emperor's biological sons. Life and death are still in the emperor's mind.
Lupin is not so lucky. As a member of Prince Yan's party, he cannot escape the death penalty. Lu An is Lupin's biological brother and the head of the Lu family, and he cannot escape death.
As for the rest of the Lu family, they may go to jail or their property may be confiscated and exiled. In short, the glory of the Lu family became a bubble overnight!
The deep hatred of the previous life was finally avenged!
Tears flowed freely and wantonly, and all the grievances and pains hidden in the heart were vented.
Ling Jingshu didn't know how long she cried. She didn't stop until her voice became hoarse. She read the letter again and couldn't help laughing.
Without looking in the mirror, Ling Jingshu knew how embarrassed she was at the moment.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered with tear marks. She cried and laughed at times, like a madman.
The door was knocked gently, and Bai Yu's worried and concerned voice rang out: "Miss, are you okay?"
The young lady had been alone in the room for a long time. The suppressed sobbing could be heard faintly. Bai Yu was anxious and anxious when she heard it, but she had to endure it.
After a while, Ling Jingshu's voice came from the room: "It's okay, I'll be fine after a while. You don't have to worry."
Her nasal voice was heavy, and it was obvious that she had cried hard.
Bai Yu said helplessly: "Just now, the lady sent someone over, saying that she would invite the young lady to have lunch together."
In this state, how could she appear in front of Sun?
Ling Jingshu calmed down and said, "Please have someone report to my aunt. Tell them that I am not feeling well today and will not be coming for the time being. I will go to pay my respects to my aunt tomorrow."
Bai Yu responded and left soon.
After crying for a long time, Ling Jingshu finally calmed down and set the letter in her hand on fire.
