After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

After the news spread, how could the hostile forces of the Lu family not take the opportunity to bite off a large piece of the Lu family's flesh?

As for Lu Yu, not only did he greatly disgrace his family, but he also seriously damaged the interests of the family. How could his elders not punish him severely for such a stupid, bad, and embarrassing waste snack? ?

If he was punished and punished, could his doting mother still be rational enough not to anger his scoundrels?

Since someone will eventually take action to deal with these guys for her, why should she continue to be so thankless?

You know, ruining the reputation of a few people and ruining the reputation of the other party's entire family are two completely different things.

She made moderate concessions and kept the last layer of fig leaf for the other party, not because she was generous, but because she didn't want to completely offend the families headed by the Lu family.

Everything in this world, including human life, emotions, and face, actually has a price.

Her status is special, and they will not do anything to her just for the sake of one or two stupid and bad children and grandchildren. But if she intends to shake their foundation, then they are bound to fight back wildly.

Instead of forcing the other party to fight to the death with her, she might as well take a step back and gain a reputation for her generosity.

After all, she is just a weak, pitiful and helpless child (???), how can she not think more carefully about herself?

When Yu Zizhen was possessed by the drama spirit and acted out how "weak, pitiful and helpless" he was, Chen Hushan took a deep look at Yu Zizhen without leaving any trace.

In their circle, the most widely circulated thing was Yu Zizhen's recklessness, but Chen Hushan, who had close contact with Yu Zizhen, felt that Yu Zizhen's recklessness was actually just like his smile, a layer of camouflage they used to protect themselves.

A truly reckless man, would he think that he could not continue to expand his influence without mercy, and could not bring in the families and in-laws behind those people, so that they could lose face along with them?

He will not.

But Yu Zizhen will meet.

After everyone returned to their respective camps, Chen Hushan's guard captain Fan Bing asked him in a low voice, "Master, do you disagree with what Prince Zhenbei is doing?"

Chen Hushan shook his head, "I think he is too smart and too calm. On the one hand, he knows very well that the price to be paid is completely different between tearing off an eyesore leaf and swinging an ax directly at the root of a big tree. . On the other hand, even if he is provoked and insulted like that, he can still stop it after the situation is reversed. This is actually very, very difficult for young men of our age."

Proportion is easy to say, but it is very difficult to get it just right, especially when they are still young and energetic.

Fan Bing was puzzled, "But didn't everyone say it?"

Chen Hushan looked back at him speechlessly, "Everyone still says that I, Chen Hushan, am a heartless second generation ancestor!" Is he? He obviously has a lot of thoughts.

Fan Bing immediately fell silent upon hearing this. Is his young master a heartless second generation ancestor? I’m afraid that people who say this are not all great fools, right?

Chen Hushan took a deep breath, paced back and forth, and kept thinking.

"He is more courageous than me and Fang Huaiying. As a newcomer, he dared to openly tell the powerful people in the capital that he was not to be trifled with."

"He uses recklessness as a disguise. First he boldly tests everyone he interacts with to test their bottom line and character, and then he jumps back and forth based on the other person's bottom line. In a place where the other person is both irritable but unable to confront him directly. Within the scope of lifting the table, strive for a higher status and a better life for yourself to the greatest extent.”

"This guy" The more he thought about it, the more Chen Hushan felt that even his grandfather, whom he admired the most, would have found it difficult to reach the level of Yu Zizhen when it came to testing each other and pushing and pulling to the extreme.

After thinking about it, he could only attribute Yu Zizhen's specialty to his natural talent.

One night later, the matter of tigers and bears entering the hunting ground was concluded. In order to flatter the Lu family, the little leader of the Imperial Guard helped Lu Yu let his guards and beasts in, but because of the power of the Lu family, , took all the blame alone, left a confession and committed suicide.

He did not give a reason for doing this. Naturally, he wanted to wipe out the debt after his death, but the forces hostile to the Lu family would not just let him cover up for Lu Yu.

Soon, someone searched Lu Yu's jade pendant from his carriage. The person who went to search also brought a two-thousand-tael banknote, as well as the little head of the Imperial Army who was responsible for collecting the jade pendant and the banknote. The purpose is to pamper my concubine.

The young leader of the Forbidden Army lost his wife early because his mother and his mother-in-law had great differences on the choice of his stepmother and could not reach an agreement, so he never married again.

At present, the female family member in charge of his family is his mother, and his private money has been handed over to his beloved concubine for safekeeping.

Officials from the Fan Party accidentally discovered that his concubine wanted to take the money and abscond after learning about the death of the small leader of the Forbidden Army. So on her way out of the city, they captured her and her belongings and sent her to the hunting ground for strict interrogation. .

With the concubine's confession and the jade pendant and banknotes as evidence, Lu Yu's identity as the "mastermind behind the scenes" was confirmed.

If he did this kind of thing when the emperor was taking people to hunt in autumn, Lu Yu would be charged with murdering the Nine Tribes with the intention of regicide and rebellion.

But officials from Lu Tong's group obviously would not sit still and wait for death. They argued in front of the emperor for three days, and finally reached a consensus reluctantly.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Lu Yu would undoubtedly be sentenced to death according to the laws of Daqi. However, under the premise that the Queen Mother personally sent someone to intercede, the emperor would not dare to actually order Lu Yu to be killed.

But if he didn't kill Lu Yu, the officials from Fan Dang and Qingliu would not give up.

In the end, the emperor, who was as big as a bucket, was forced to copy Yu Zizhen's solution when he encountered trouble.

He first fined the Lu family one hundred thousand taels of silver and asked them to hand over the money to the national treasury as punishment, and then ordered Lu Yu to be exiled to the southwest border.

The place of exile was chosen by Lu Tong for Lu Yu. The reason he chose the southwest border was also very simple - it was not under the control of King Zhenbei, Duke Wei, or Duke Jingguo.

Lu Tong was thinking about Lu Yu. After all, this idiot in their family let Tiger and Xiong in just to murder the heirs of these three families.

If he attacks someone else's heir, that person must not allow him to live or die after he falls into their hands.

It's a pity that the idiot in their family lived up to his reputation as an idiot. He didn't care how much trouble he caused and how much trouble he caused to the Lu family. He only knew that his uncle, who had all the power in the government, actually suggested that the emperor put him exile!
