Chapter 403 Storm 1

Mr. Ling returned to the Ling Mansion with a gloomy face.

His figure was a little stiff, his steps were much slower than usual, and his face was full of worries.

Mrs. Sun greeted him as usual, smiling and saying, "Master, why did you come back so early today?"

Mr. Ling walked into the house with a wooden face as if he didn't hear anything, and sat down woodenly. His eyes were a little dazed, and there was a trace of uneasiness and panic in his expression that was rarely seen in normal days.

"Master, what happened?" After many years of marriage, Mrs. Sun had never seen Mr. Ling so lost, and she had a vague premonition in her heart, and her tone became nervous and hurried.

Mr. Ling said stiffly, "Lupin is finished!"

Lupin?

Sun was stunned and blurted out: "What happened to Lupin?"

"He secretly colluded with the King of Yan and participated in the assassination in the palace." Grandpa Ling closed his eyes dejectedly, his voice full of sadness: "He was secretly imprisoned in the Tianlao by the Dali Temple for interrogation, and the evidence is conclusive. The Crown Prince announced this matter in the court today and reported it to the emperor after the court was dismissed. I heard that the emperor was furious and wanted to execute Lupin."

"Treason is a serious crime, implicating all members of the Lu family. Now all members of the Lu family have been escorted to the capital. I am afraid that all the male members of the Lu family will not be able to escape death. Women, children and children can save their lives, but they will inevitably be exiled..."

Before she finished speaking, Sun's face turned pale, and she muttered unconsciously: "How could this happen? How could this happen!"

Lupin is really too bold!

This is a serious crime that will exterminate the entire family!

How dare he do such a thing!

"No one dared to speak for Lu Ping in the court today."

Grandpa Ling's tone became more and more sad, and his brows were furrowed into a river shape: "The Lu family is completely finished! Lu An and Lu Qian are both in danger of death. I can only pity my sister. She has been married to the Lu family for so many years, but she has not had a good life for a few days. Now she is implicated again, and I don't know what will happen in the future."

After all, they are brothers and sisters from the same mother. Although they have not seen each other for a long time, there is always some blood relationship.

Thinking of the impending tragic fate of the Ling family, Grandpa Ling's eyes quickly turned red.

Sun also wiped her tears and choked up and said: "My sister's life is too bitter."

It's a pity that no one can save the Ling family, let alone the Lu family!

To put it bluntly. At this time, it's not too late to avoid suspicion and stay away from the Lu family. Who dares to get close to them? Especially the Ling family, which is a legitimate in-law of the Lu family. If you show too much concern, it will be bad to arouse the suspicion of the prince.

Sun was sad for a moment about the Lu family, wiped her tears, and whispered: "Master, I'm going to say something I shouldn't say. In this situation, we can't take care of the Lu family. Master, you have to be careful these days. If you make a mistake, the censor will report it to the court. At that time, our Ling family will not be able to get away with it."

How could Master Ling not understand such an obvious truth?

Master Ling was silent for a moment, then he sighed: "I know. However, this matter is really important and cannot be hidden from mother. I will write a letter and have someone send it to Dingzhou immediately."

"Also, I will take sick leave for a while and "recuperate" in the mansion. I will show up again after the Lu family's affairs have been settled. Regarding the Lu family's affairs, you should remind the children to keep silent and not talk nonsense."

Sun agreed one by one.

Master Ling quickly went to the study, wrote a letter home, and had someone send it out overnight.

After writing the letter, the couple had no mood to sleep and sat facing each other all night.

…

The next day, Master Ling took a long vacation and began to "recuperate" in the mansion.

Ling Jingshu and Jiang soon learned about the Lu family.

Jiang was shocked, and Ling Jingshu also showed a look of surprise and sadness at the right time: "Aunt, how could this happen suddenly? If my uncle is executed, what should I do?"

Sun, who had not slept all night, suddenly looked haggard and old. Hearing this, she smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know these things now. Don't ask too much."

After a pause, she reminded: "The master has already taken sick leave. In the next period of time, you should keep a low profile and try not to go out."

Ling Jingshu and Jiang responded in a low voice.

After such a thing, Sun was very depressed and had no mood to talk.

Ling Jingshu and Jiang sat for a while and then left.

"No man can be happy for a thousand days, and no flower can be red for a hundred days." Jiang's eyes were red and she sighed in a low voice: "I never thought that the Lu family would be destroyed overnight."

Jiang rarely interacted with the people of the Lu family and was not close to them. It was hard to say that they had a deep relationship. However, watching the Lu family suffer this disaster, it was really unpleasant in my heart.

Ling Jingshu also had a sad face: "Yes, who could have thought that there would be such a change."

Ling Jingshu didn't know how much effort she spent to suppress the joy in her heart.

Lu Ping is finished! Lu An is finished! The Lu family is finished! As for the Ling family, it would be worse than death.

Getting revenge is probably the most refreshing thing in the world.

Since receiving the letter from the crown prince, she has been immersed in this indescribable pleasure. Now that even Mr. Ling and his wife know about it, it is obvious that the Lu family's affairs have spread.

She secretly took a long breath and expressed all the gloom, unwillingness, sadness, pain, resentment and hatred in her previous life.

As a lady from a prestigious family, Jiang was quite knowledgeable: "All the male members of the Lu family will probably be executed, and the Lu family will also be confiscated. Now that I think about it, it's a blessing that my cousin from the Lu family was forced to become a monk."

Becoming a monk means cutting off worldly ties and having no relationship with the Lu family. Even if the entire Lu family was killed, Lu Hong would not be the one killed.

No matter what, there is always a life left.

Thinking of Lu Hong, Ling Jingshu felt indifferent.

Everything in the past life has come to an end. She and Lu Hong have no relationship at all. Take care of each other!

Perhaps Ling Jingshu acted too calmly, which caused Jiang to glance at her in doubt: "Ah Shu, aren't you sad to hear about this?"

Ling Jingshu has not shed a tear until now, which is a bit cold.

She was able to resist laughing out loud, which was a great self-control. She really couldn't pretend to be sad.

Ling Jingshu lowered her eyelids to hide the sneer in her eyes, and said softly: "What can I do if I am sad? You will suffer for your own sins. The second uncle of the Lu family is ambitious and even dared to assassinate the emperor and the prince. The matter was exposed, and this is the outcome he should have expected."

That's true.

Jiang sighed lightly: "Forget it! We just live a good life behind closed doors. We shouldn't and can't care about these things. My father-in-law must have sent someone to send a letter back to Dingzhou. This time, I'm afraid that my grandmother will also have to travel a long distance to the capital."
