Concubine in power

With Lu Zhiyao's sinister tone, the frightened servant naturally nodded repeatedly.Lu Zhiyao patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction, just waiting for Wanyue to bring Lu Yuanzheng.

Lu Yuanzheng was awakened from his sleep by Wanyue's knock on the door, and of course Ye Lianrong at the same time.The two looked at Wanyue in a daze and said nervously, "Miss has something to ask the master." Ye Lianrong couldn't get angry, and started to curse.

"Miss what? You don't even know what time it is, do you want to die? The master has to go to court tomorrow morning, so get out of here quickly!"

Wanyue ignored Ye Lianrong's words, looked directly at Lu Yuanzheng, and said again: "Master, it's really important. Miss said, if you don't go, you will regret it forever."

Wanyue had already said this, so Lu Yuanzheng could no longer ignore her.Lu Yuanzheng sat up and paused for a while, looked at Wanyue with a gloomy face, and asked, "What can't be said here?"

"Well, I can't be here. Because..." Wanyue hesitated for a while, and finally said what Lu Zhiyao said boldly. "Because the young lady specifically asked, this matter cannot be heard by the second lady."

Ye Lianrong woke up angrily at Wanyue's words, and looked at Wanyue with raised eyebrows. Because of Lu Yuanzheng's presence, Ye Lianrong didn't dare to scold anything that was too nasty.But at least to prevent Lu Yuanzheng from seeing Lu Zhiyao, there is still something to do.What good can Lu Zhiyao find Lu Yuanzheng at such a late hour?

"Master, you'd better rest. If there is really something important, Zhiyao will come to see you by himself, why would he send a little girl?"

Lu Yuanzheng sat there the whole time, and after a moment of contemplation, he slowly moved and stood up.Putting on a robe casually, Lu Yuanzheng looked back at Ye Lianrong, and said, "I'll go and have a look, you go to bed first."

After speaking, Lu Yuanzheng followed Wanyue and left.How could Ye Lianrong sleep so obediently?Following behind them anxiously, Ye Lianrong also sneaked towards Lu Zhiyao's other courtyard.

As soon as Lu Yuanzheng walked into Lu Zhiyao's room, he was dumbfounded.A few tied men were lying on the ground in a mess.And Lu Zhiyao was sitting at the table with a posture of waiting for him.

"Father, you're here." When Lu Zhiyao saw Lu Yuanzheng, he didn't immediately stand up to greet him. "Wanyue, you go to the door and guard."

After Wanyue left the room, Lu Zhiyao walked up to the shocked Lu Yuanzheng. "Father, you don't want to ask, who are they?"

Lu Yuanzheng slowly turned his head, and asked according to Lu Zhiyao's words: "Who are they?"

Lu Zhiyao snorted and replied, "They are the ones who went to dig my mother's grave tonight. Do you want to ask them who ordered them to do this?"

Lu Zhiyao's two words made Lu Yuanzheng's eyes flash and his mind went blank.The person who dug Yang Xinyuan's grave? !

Lu Yuanzheng walked over immediately after slowing down for a while.Seeing the terrified expressions on those people's faces, Lu Yuanzheng randomly ordered someone, took out what was in his mouth, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

The one Lu Yuanzheng was looking for was not the one that Lu Zhiyao threatened just now.But he also saw what Lu Zhiyao had done, and heard the conversation between Lu Zhiyao and that person.

The man murmured and told the truth. When Lu Yuanzheng heard him say that it was Ye Chengnan who sent them to dig the grave, he felt his eyes go dark and his body shook immediately.

"Father, you have to hold on." Lu Zhiyao walked to Lu Yuanzheng's side and supported him. "There is an even more unexpected truth behind it."

Not long after Lu Yuanzheng arrived at Lu Zhiyao's room, Lan Ruoling brought Ye Chengnan over.Lan Ruoling greeted Lu Yuanzheng and left. When Lu Yuanzheng saw Lan Ruoling, he guessed something in his heart.

Ye Chengnan had already changed into a suit of clothes, after seeing Lu Yuanzheng and Lu Zhiyao, Ye Chengnan knew something was going to go wrong.Regarding her brother-in-law, Ye Chengnan was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart.

"Father, didn't I ask you before, did you ever doubt my mother's death? At that time, you swore to warn me not to doubt Erniang. But now? Do you still want to say that?"

Lu Zhiyao's attitude was a bit aggressive, but Lu Yuanzheng could understand why she was so angry.Lu Yuanzheng still couldn't believe the truth of the matter, he looked at Ye Chengnan, and silently asked him to explain to himself.

Ye Shengnan looked at Shang Lu Yuanzheng and began to defend himself. "What, it's all, you all misunderstood, misunderstood! Actually, I went to the cemetery tonight to do other things. If I accidentally read it wrong, I dug it wrong."

"What are you doing at the cemetery so late?" Lu Yuanzheng asked, not believing his words.

"Don't I owe someone some money? I have to help them. Look, brother-in-law, we are all a family, and it's not good to be so stiff."

"What uncle said, why is it completely different from what the people under your command said?" Lu Zhiyao picked the right moment and said, "They all recruited just now, saying that you asked them to dig the grave, dig me Mother’s grave. After digging out the coffin, you took a special look at my mother’s bones, and then ordered them to also dig out the coffin from the nearby grave, and exchanged the two bones inside. Uncle, Then can you explain why you did this? If the people from the yamen didn't show up, you would have succeeded long ago, right?"

Lu Zhiyao's uncle called these two times, which made Ye Chengnan want to slap her twice.Ye Chengnan twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, looked at those useless dog slaves, and then looked at Lu Yuanzheng to continue his sophistry. "I've said it all, it was a mistake! How could I do something harmful like digging my own family's grave? Impossible! Brother-in-law, you have to believe me, I really didn't do it on purpose."

"Well, since my uncle doesn't admit it, I won't mention it." Lu Zhiyao smiled coldly and looked at Lu Yuanzheng. "Father, you can blame your daughter for not telling you the truth, but there is something I have to say. I have asked the Eighth Prince to help me find out the truth about my mother's death. If you still don't believe me, you can tell me now Find someone to open the coffin for my mother's autopsy. Human life is a matter of heaven, and my daughter dare not speak nonsense. I just want to get justice for my dead mother and brother, and give myself a bad reputation for so many years. Just a reason to clear it."

It is no small matter that the Eighth Prince is involved in this matter.Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao as if he were a stranger. He didn't expect that this girl would do this without knowing it.When exactly did she start planning?How did the Eighth Prince agree to help her?

Ye Lianrong followed Lu Yuanzheng all the way here, she hid outside the yard, not daring to make a sound.I wanted to wait and see what was going on before making any plans.But when she saw Lan Ruoling appearing with Ye Chengnan, Ye Lianrong's heart completely panicked.

What did you bring Ye Chengnan here so late? !Ye Lianrong thought of a possibility, a possibility that almost made her breathless.Gritting her teeth, Ye Lianrong squatted on the ground. She felt her nose sour and suddenly wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry.

"Uncle, if you still don't plan to tell the truth, then I have no choice but to hand you over to Lan Ruoling and let her interrogate you. Then, don't blame me for being unkind."

Lu Zhiyao started to turn the conversation to Ye Chengnan again, causing Ye Chengnan to immediately greet her 860 times in his heart.Ye Chengnan was also afraid that things would become a big deal, and that it would not only be a matter of embarrassment.If the eighth prince really wants to help this dead girl, he will be in a very dangerous situation.He can't ask others for this matter, the seventh prince can't help him, and the crown prince can't help him!Because Ye Lianrong was a murderer in the first place, they couldn't ruin their reputation because of this incident.

Ye Chengnan was in a dilemma, on the one hand he was afraid of Lin Yinan's power, but on the other hand he was afraid of what consequences would be brought to him and Ye Lianrong if he told the truth.

Lu Zhiyao looked at Ye Chengnan's expression silently, and kindly wanted to calm him down. "Uncle, you don't want to make a big fuss about this matter, and I don't want to make a big fuss. If the eighth prince and the prince are really involved, it's not good for you, and my father is also in a dilemma. What I want is just the truth .”

As Lu Zhiyao spoke, tears could not stop streaming down.Looking at Lu Yuanzheng with tears in his eyes, Lu Zhiyao said in a trembling voice: "Father, you don't know the grievances in my daughter's heart these years, you don't know that every time my daughter hears someone say that it is the daughter who killed her mother and brother I don't want my father to misunderstand me again, and I don't want my mother to feel cold under the nine springs."

Lu Zhiyao cried and threw himself into Lu Yuanzheng's arms, causing Lu Yuanzheng's stiff body to take a step back.

Lu Zhiyao's tears soon soaked Lu Yuanzheng's lapel, and Lu Yuanzheng looked at Ye Chengnan irritably. The matter is already clear, isn't it?

Lu Yuanzheng really didn't think that things would turn out like this, he had obviously scolded Lu Zhiyao in that tone before, telling her not to wrong Ye Lianrong.But now...

Thinking about Yang Xinyuan who died tragically after giving birth to Lu Zhiyao, and thinking about his son who died just after learning to walk, Lu Yuanzheng also had the urge to cry.

For many years, he has been blaming himself.In the years after Yang Xinyuan and her son died one after another, Lu Yuanzheng always felt that it was because of his own negligence that both mother and son left him one after another.But later, when Lu Zhiyao gradually grew up, when rumors that Lu Zhiyao was a bastard gradually spread, and when everyone was saying that Lu Zhiyao killed her mother and brother, Lu Yuanzheng's heart ached. He was also shaken.

Maybe, it's really not my fault?Maybe, I really did well enough?

Lu Yuanzheng just listened to those rumors, survived day by day, and ignored Qi Lu Zhiyao day by day.After all these years, he has even taken that rumor as fact.But now, the reality gave him such a slap, even though it hurt him, he couldn't dodge it.
