Chapter 3287 Zhong Shu
However, after not seeing each other for a year, Mrs. Zhong was so excited. Xu Yi was speechless. Seeing this scene, he was a little worried that he could not play Zhong Ruyi well. It is true that this cheap mother is too clingy. He has been in the Anji Sect for more than a year. Every time Jiang Xiao came, he would bring various daily necessities sent by Duke Lu's wife.
Obviously, in the eyes of Mrs. Lu Guogong, Zhong Ruyi is not a monk who has shed his mortal body, but is just her only son. Sure enough, after Mrs. Lu Guogong woke up, she grabbed his hand and refused to let go. She kept talking, as if she wanted to make up for what she had not said this year.
Especially after hearing that Zhong Ruyi had achieved the Wheel of Life, Mrs. Lu Guogong excitedly shouted the Buddha's name and repeatedly lamented the virtues of the ancestors of the Zhong family. Finally, I want to reassure Xu Yi that he doesn't care about whether he wants to waste his life wheel or not, as long as he can inherit the position of Duke of the country, he can get married to a girl from the Luo family and live a good life in the future.
Obviously, the news that he had achieved the second level of Life Wheel was not sent back, and the Duke of Lu State received the news from the previous wave. Xu Yi patiently accompanied Mrs. Lu Guogong. He felt very complicated in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the dead Zhong Ruyi. No matter what, he would always miss his mother.
Finally, it was not until Yuanyang, the personal maid of the Duke of Lu, came to report that the banquet had been arranged and the Duke's honor guard had passed through South Street, then Mrs. Lu Guogong loosened her grip on Zhong Ruyi's hand and ordered the maid to take the lead. Zhong Ruyi went to change clothes and prepare to welcome the master.
After half a stick of incense, Xu Yi met Lu Guogong Zhong Lin. He was in his forties, with tall eyebrows. He had held military power for many years and was very powerful. When he saw Xu Yi, he was far from as excited as Mrs. Zhong, but he just looked at it deeply. She glanced at him, waved to him to get up, and then went back to the backyard to change clothes.
Afterwards, everyone went to Huarong Hall, where more than ten banquets had been held. This time Zhong Ruyi returned, Mrs. Zhong held a banquet for the clan members. Secretly, she wanted to announce to the clan that his son Zhong Ruyi had achieved greatness. He is in the life wheel realm and is the legitimate heir to Duke Lu.
Xu Yi had been drinking throughout the whole banquet. Either Mrs. Zhong led him to toast to the elders of the clan, or some of his peers came to get close to him and toasted to him. He was drunk until his glass was dry, but he still remained reserved in his words. , he always felt that Duke Lu was not very close to him.
However, Dong Chao's notes seem to also record that Duke Lu was always strict with Zhong Ruyi and rarely got close to him. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the door of Huarong Hall fell off and hit the ground hard. A figure strode over. The man was in his thirties, and he looked somewhat similar to Duke Lu.
Xu Yi thought about it and immediately guessed who was coming. It was probably Zhong Shu, the younger brother of Lu Duke Zhong Lin's concubine. This man was named Zhongyong Bo for his military exploits ten years ago, but his relationship with Zhong Lin had never been good. Although they are close relatives, they rarely move around. Zhong Shu came to the door with great fanfare today, obviously there was a story.
"Brother, my uncles are well. I heard that Ruyi has returned from his studies. Although I, the uncle, have not been invited, I come to ask for a glass of water and wine. The amount will not be annoying." With that, Zhong Shu said Lilie picked up a chair, placed it on the main table, and sat down.
Zhong Lin looked stern and said in a deep voice, "Ruyi, why don't you pour wine for your second uncle?" Xu Yi frowned slightly, and Zhong Shu laughed, "I won't drink the wine that the kid poured, so why don't you let my sister-in-law serve me the wine? Eighteen years ago, my sister-in-law Qiong Fang’s reputation as a beautiful woman overshadowed the entire Fanyang.”
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent. Mrs. Zhong's pretty face turned pale. Zhong Lin said coldly, "Second brother, what's the matter with you? Let's talk about it another day. I won't treat you to this glass of water and wine. I'm seeing you off!" The butler stepped forward quickly and bowed to Zhong Shu, "Second Master, please."
With a snap, Zhong Shu slapped the butler resoundingly, and whipped the butler away, "You blind slave dog. Forget it, since eldest brother doesn't want to invite me to drink, let's talk about it. I think my father's title should be his." The property has returned to its original owner.”
The whole place was in an uproar. Two elders of the Zhong family pointed at Zhong Shu and yelled in pain. Zhong Shu glared with murderous intent, and the two elders suddenly fell silent. Zhong Shu sneered and said, "Back then, my eldest brother's talent was not as good as mine. It was just because of my father's favoritism. How many resources did my eldest brother get to be able to cultivate the Wheel of Life? On the other hand, I did not need any resources from my family to become a Wheel of Life state. Now I am impacting the second level." The realm is just a matter of time. On the other hand, big brother, during the battle against Chu, you mistakenly went to Langya Mountain. Almost all the 30,000 dragon and tiger troops were wiped out. You were also seriously injured. Now your realm has fallen from the second realm to the first realm."
"It is impossible to make progress in this life. Although your child Zhong Ruyi was lucky enough to achieve the level of Life Wheel, but who doesn't know that he is a stone infant turning into a wheel, he is almost a useless person. He can't get the title of Lord Lu. If you are still alive, if you have any thoughts about the family, you should give up the position of Duke Lu to me. At that time, you can roam in the forest, take your new concubine, and your newborn child to live a happy life. Isn't it good to live like a fairy? As for my wife, since you are ruthless to her, why don't you help me take care of her? If she hadn't been that old thief, she should have been my brother's sister-in-law."
It was clear that Zhong Shu had spotted the critical moment when the Zhong family was having a big banquet and wanted to decide the overall situation, so he came to cause trouble, but no one expected that he would be so bold, directly showing his minions to Duke Lu, and even It revealed a lot of inside information that no one knew.
Is the head of the family really guilty? This is not important. The most frightening thing is that if the master of the family really falls, it will shake the foundation of the title of Lord Lu. The big tree will fall. How can the flowers and plants growing on the leaves not worry?
"Zhong Shu, if you retreat now, I won't hold you accountable." Zhong Lin sat still, his eyes extremely cold, "If we continue to struggle, your name will not be included in the genealogy."
Zhong Shu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Zhong Lin, do you really think that I care about that shabby book? If my father hadn't left the position of Duke Lu, do you think I would care about it? You cling to the weak and be reluctant to part with it, but you won't." Have you ever thought about why you mistakenly left Langya Mountain and how the 30,000 dragon and tiger troops died? You idiot, you were lucky enough to save a life, but you still don’t know how to repent and are still holding on. Hehe, your death is certainly not a pity, Mr. Lu Guo If my title disappears, I will not be able to see my late father."
Zhong Lin felt as if he was struck by lightning. His eyes that stared at Zhong Shu suddenly overflowed with blood, and the chaos all over his body was violently released. Suddenly, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body fell softly. There was chaos in the field, and Zhong Shu shouted coldly, "Why panic? As long as I am here, the Zhong family will not fall. You should all go back to your places."
With that said, Zhong Shu went to Mrs. Zhong and stared at her, his eyes full of lust, "Shiya, your hard life is over. Soon, the Zhong family will change its owner. Don't worry, I'm not like you." Zhong Lin is so useless. Seeing that your son is dying, you should have a baby as soon as possible. I only want you, come, let's drink..." As he said this, he stretched out his hand to hug Mrs. Zhong's slender waist.
