The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 99 Pulling off the fig leaf

An energetic old man with a white beard was surrounded by several elders, all of whom had dark faces.

The leading old man glanced sharply at Mrs. Lu who was sitting in her seat.

Mrs. Lu was shocked.

"Mr. Zhao, who is this person?" Patriarch Zhao pointed at Zhao Ruyi, who was holding a tea cup and was about to kneel down to serve tea.

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale.

Finished!

There was a sudden silence at the table.

This was too sudden.

Madam Lu suddenly jumped up and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with a smile: "Chief, why are you here?"

"What? You have something to hide from us, so are you afraid that we will come?" Patriarch Zhao said in a bad tone.

The guests around had already started talking. Mrs. Lu suppressed her anger and said in a gentle manner: "You misunderstood. Everyone who has come from afar, please sit down and have a cup of wedding wine. After the wedding is completed, let's catch up with the past."

Lu Shanyuan was also startled by the sudden intruder, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Zhao Ruyi.

Zhao Ruyi was also stunned and looked at Lu Shanyuan nervously.

Although none of the high-ranking officials and ladies present recognized the visitor, they all thought he was the head of the Zhao family from the way Mrs. Lu addressed him and the level of respect she gave him.

It's very unusual for a group of people to barge in aggressively on the big day.

Lu Wan sat firmly and glanced behind the elders.

Jiaxing winked at her.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and continued watching the show.

"Ms. Zhao, answer me, who is she?" Patriarch Zhao saw that Mrs. Lu was deliberately talking about him, so he went straight to the point without any politeness.

"What do you mean? Isn't Zhao Ruyi from your Zhao family?" The head of the Lu family couldn't help but stood up with a confused look on his face.

The Zhao family was separated by generations, and they were far away in Anzhou, so they didn't invite them to be normal. But the head of the Lu family and the respectable clan elders would naturally want to invite him.

After a moment of silence in the main hall, thin discussions arose among the crowd who reacted.

"Didn't you say that she is the old lady's niece? What does the leader of the Zhao family mean?"

"Who knows, maybe it's fake."

"Ah? If Zhao Ruyi is not a member of the Zhao clan, then what is his background?"

"The important thing is that if it weren't for the Zhao family, why would Mrs. Lu deceive her?"

Lu Shanyuan already understood that the person who came here was evil. If he didn't take action, the Lu family would really lose their face.

He immediately stood up and walked forward, cupped his hands and said politely: "Clan Chief Zhao, today is my wedding day. If you have a nice glass of wedding wine, I will welcome you to the extreme. I will entertain you with good wine and food. But if you are here to cause trouble, …”

"What? Is Mr. Lu Hou suppressing my Zhao family members because of his status? Although my Zhao family is not as high as your current position in the Hou family, I have also had an auxiliary prime minister!"

The clan leader was not afraid at all.

The Zhao family in Anzhou was a prominent family and had two assistant ministers. Mrs. Lu's father once served as Zhongshu Ling.

Anyone who can be the leader of the Zhao clan is not a vegetarian. In the face of clan rules, the emperor is inconvenient to interfere.

Lu Shanyuan endured his anger, but his tone became calmer: "If you break into the Marquis's residence without being invited, I will ask someone to invite you out! For the sake of my mother, I will give you some face, please do it yourself Get out!"

Chief Zhao snorted coldly: "Ha, Marquis Lu is so powerful. The Zhao family has no control over the Lu family, but Zhao Linyi violated the clan rules and tried to pretend to be a member of the Zhao family with a bastard, and deceived and deceived the Zhao family in the capital. Gang Chang, smear the people of the Zhao clan. According to the rules of our Zhao clan, today, I will bring Zhao Linyi and this Zhao Ruyi back to the clan for strict interrogation."

The whole place was in an uproar.

Mrs. Lu's vision went dark, and Grandma Wu quickly supported her and pinched her secretly to keep her awake. Clang.

Everyone in the room was shocked and turned to look.

Zhao Ruyi stood blankly with a white face. The tea cup in her hand fell to the ground. The porcelain pieces shattered on the ground. The hot tea splashed everywhere and stained the bright red dress embroidered with gold thread.

Xia Jianglian also stood up in surprise.

It turned out that Lu Wan told her not to worry about this ordinary wife, so this was what happened.

What a surprise.

Although it was a bit unlucky to make such a fuss on her wedding day, she would be very happy if she could get rid of the love in the Marquis's heart.

"Come here! Beat these troublemakers out!" Lu Shanyuan was furious.

The people of the Lu family were all panicking. In front of a large group of dignitaries, was this going to bring disaster to the Lu family?
"Father, please calm down."

The girl's clear voice came, and everyone's eyes fell on her.

Lu Wan stepped forward and looked gently at the furious Lu Shanyuan: "Father, there are no unbroken eggs under the overturned nest!"

"They are my grandmother's clan chief and the elders of the clan. They cannot come from Anzhou to Bianjing City for no reason. You might as well listen to what you have to say and solve any problems, so as not to disturb your wedding today, right?"

Of course Lu Shanyuan didn't want to hear what they said, let alone let them say anything, but how could he refute Lu Wan's words.

Lu Shanyuan frowned: "What do you know, stand down!"

"Master Hou, just ask clearly. No matter what, sister Ruyi is still from the Lu family, isn't she?" Xia Jianglian also came over and persuaded softly.

The implication is that Ruyi can still become the common wife of the Hou family.

Lu Shanyuan calmed down instantly, but he absolutely could not let them expose Zhao Ruyi's identity in public.

Amid the uproar, he gritted his teeth.

"She... is indeed not from the Zhao family." Lu Shanyuan glanced at his mother.

"My mother saw that the three of her mother and son were pitiful, so she adopted her as an adopted daughter. In order to prevent the servants of the Lu family from looking down on her and thinking of her as an adopted daughter. Chief Zhao, we were negligent in not informing the Zhao family in advance. But Dali Law and the Zhao family There is no rule against adopting an adopted daughter, right? This is a good deed and shouldn’t be held accountable?”

Lu Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at her grandmother.

Mrs. Lu's face turned dark immediately and she actually used her as a weapon.

But in full view of the public, she couldn't destroy her son. Without Mr. Hou's son, she would be nothing.

She took a long breath and calmed down: "She was born in a pitiful life. Her parents died, and her husband died of illness. She dragged a pair of children to Beijing to seek refuge with her relatives. Unexpectedly, her relatives were nowhere to be seen. I happened to meet her. Seeing how pitiful her mother and son were, I thought My niece is not officially included in the family tree, so I have not reported it to the family. "

"Mrs. Lu is so kind. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, Amitabha." Mrs. Xie clasped her hands together.

"So that's the case, then we shouldn't embarrass Mrs. Lu." Mrs. Wenxinhou also agreed.

Lu Wan sneered.

"Then why did my father spend a year's salary to change her surname into Beijing? She didn't intend to enter the family tree, but he spent money to change her surname. Why? Is it because he was afraid that someone would know her true identity?"

...!
Lu Wan's words were like cold water poured into a boiling pot of oil, and the entire hall instantly became noisy.

"Miss Lu, what do you mean by this?" Xia Jianglian was shocked, she didn't know this.

Lu Wan pulled out a piece of yellow paper from somewhere and waved it in the air: "Books can explain everything..."

Everyone looked at the thin yellow paper in her hand.

Mrs. Lu's vision went dark and she almost pouted.
