Chapter 183 The Sin You Made
When the sun was high in the sky, it gradually hid in the clouds and the sky became gloomy, as if it would rain at any time.
Lu Zhenyu ignored all this and pulled Lu Jinxuan towards the mansion gate.
Lu Jinxuan stumbled after him with tears in her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free from his hands.
At this moment, Lu Zhenyu seemed to be crazy, staring with red eyes at the closed door of the mansion and Lu Zhong who was blocking his way. Next to Lu Zhong stood the Prime Minister's wife who was also in tears.
"Yu'er, listen to your mother. Let's go back to the front hall and slowly discuss the future." The Prime Minister's wife persuaded.
Although she was shocked by Lu Zhenyu's thoughts, he could not leave the house today, and Lu Zhong would not let such a thing spread throughout the streets.
Lu Zhenyu had already ignored anyone's advice and only wanted to take Lu Jinxuan away.
Now that the emperor has issued the imperial decree to grant the marriage, he will not withdraw it easily.
Even if the Prime Minister and the Queen go together to look for the Emperor, things will not change easily.
But Lu Jinxuan can only be his, and he would never agree to her marrying anyone else.
He had just thought of countless solutions, and the only feasible one was to take Lu Jinxuan away.
Find a place where no one knows them and live alone.
Lu Zhong was furious as he looked at Lu Zhenyu who totally ignored him. He never expected that Lu Zhenyu liked Lu Jinxuan.
I also didn't expect that Lu Zhenyu would be so reckless just to be with Lu Jinxuan.
Back then, he still observed the rules of etiquette, suppressed his feelings, married a wife, and personally sent his sister into the palace.
But his good son, for his own selfish desires, disregarded the whole mansion and only wanted to take Lu Jinxuan away.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong's anger grew stronger and stronger: "Do you really not care about your parents' lives and want to take your sister away?"
Lu Zhenyu said without hesitation: "I don't care about your life or death, I just want to take my sister away."
Things have come to this point, and everyone in the mansion knows what Lu Zhenyu is thinking, so there is no need to worry about whether they hear it or not.
The Prime Minister's wife almost fainted when she heard what Lu Zhenyu said, and she kept muttering: "What a sin, what a sin..."
After being married for many years, how could she not know the relationship between Lu Zhong and the Queen? She cried and made a fuss, but in the end she could only endure it.
She had noticed that year that whenever the queen returned home, Lu Zhong would stay in the study with the queen all day.
Once, by chance, the guard guarding the door of Lu Zhong was not there, and she went to deliver something to Lu Zhong. She heard the noise from the room while standing outside the study door.
It was also from then on that she found out what kind of person she had married after carefully choosing one.
Thinking of the past, and the daily torment she had endured since then, the Prime Minister's wife burst into tears.
Her past experiences made her deeply understand what it means to live day by day like a year.
The Prime Minister's wife started out by mumbling, but her voice gradually turned frantic: "What a sin, Lu Zhong, this is all your fault."
"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. Lu Zhong, you finally tasted the fruit of your evil deeds. It's retribution, it's all retribution..."
"Shut up and take the lady back to her room." Lu Zhong was worried that she would say something she shouldn't in front of all the servants in the mansion, so he ordered someone to take her away.
"Hahaha..." After the Prime Minister's wife laughed, she looked at Lu Zhong deeply.
Without being urged by the servants, she walked towards her yard first.
Lu Zhong had already lost his patience: "I'm going to ask you one last time, do you really want to do this?"
He glared at Lu Zhenyu, as if he would stop him with force if he said yes.
"Yes, I must take my sister away." Lu Zhenyu insisted.
He can be without status or money, but the one person he cannot be without is Lu Jinxuan.
Seeing that he refused to repent, Lu Zhong shouted angrily, "Come here, arrest the young master and lock him up in his room."
"Seal up the windows, lock the door, and assign more people to watch him."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhong's guards waved their hands behind them, and the guards from the Prime Minister's Mansion swarmed forward.
At this time, they obeyed Lu Zhong's orders, no longer caring about Lu Zhenyu's identity, and stepped forward one after another.
Without any concerns about his status, after a while, Lu Zhenyu was pressed in front of Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong raised his hand and slapped him: "Lock him up, and no one is allowed to visit without my permission."
As Lu Zhong said, the group successfully locked Lu Zhenyu in the room, and then sent Lu Jinxuan back to her yard. The trouble that had lasted for half a day was finally relieved.
The sky had been gloomy for half a day, and it gradually began to rain, followed by strong winds that made people shiver.
Shen Jingxuan and Jiang Shaoying slowly retracted their feet that had originally stepped out of the teahouse.
"Winter will come after this rain, right?" Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but sigh.
Now that she thinks about it carefully, even she herself can't remember how many winters she has spent since she came here.
Chen Yi quietly watched the raindrops outside the door falling onto the ground: "Winter is almost here."
Seeing the rain getting heavier, Jiang Shaoying pulled a person upstairs with one hand and said, "Let's go back to the private room. I don't know how long this rain will stop."
They had just taken a few steps when they heard footsteps behind them, and the three of them turned around to look.
Behind them, Shen Jingyue and Yang Yi walked into the teahouse, followed by Fatty.
"Axuan, you are here too?" Fatty happily came to them when he saw them.
But his eyes were fixed on Chen Yi, as if he could never look enough.
Before Shen Jingxuan and the others could greet him, the fat man's shout attracted Shen Jingyue's attention.
The more she looked at Shen Jingxuan, the uglier her expression became: "Shen Jingxuan? You have no shame."
She was clearly granted marriage to the Regent, but she met other men behind the prince's back. How shameless.
"Shen Jingyue, do you know what shame is?" Shen Jingxuan asked back.
Without waiting for Shen Jingyue to answer, Jiang Shaoying sneered: "Ah Xuan, your question is so weird. She has no shame, how could she know?"
"Pfft..." Fatty laughed out loud. Chen Yi looked at him strangely and then shifted his gaze back.
Shen Jingxuan raised the corners of her lips: "It's my fault for asking such a question."
"You..." Shen Jingyue looked at the people in front of her angrily, not knowing how to start.
He glanced at Yang Yi beside him, and became even more angry when he saw that Yang Yi had no intention of helping.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at Shen Jingyue, then turned and walked towards the private room upstairs.
After taking a few steps, she stopped and said with her back to Shen Jingyue: "By the way, your best friend was given a marriage to your brother-in-law. If there is a dispute between the two of them, who would you help?"
"She is the younger sister of a concubine and a good friend of a principal concubine. It seems you need to think carefully about this."
After saying this, Shen Jingxuan no longer paid attention to Shen Jingyue and returned to the private room with the group.
Shen Jingyue looked unhappy and wanted to continue chasing Shen Jingxuan, but was blocked by Yang Yi.
Jiang Shaoying gloated: "Shen Jingyue should be happy, right? After all, there is one less person competing with her for the position of Regent."
Chen Yi looked at Jiang Shaoying with an expression as if to say, "Are you stupid?" She had never seen such a stupid person.
They were always together in the past, so how come she didn’t notice that Jiang Shaoying had such a problem?
In front of the Regent's wife, she said that an unrelated woman was trying to steal her husband. Is this something a human being can do?
Shen Jingxuan didn't take it to heart. After all, it was no secret that Shen Jingyue and Lu Jinxuan liked Xie Lingxiao.
She no longer paid attention to the people behind her and stood in front of the window, watching the drizzling rain outside.
Rain kept falling from the sky, hitting the ground and splashing countless water.
As she looked, she saw a carriage slowly coming into her sight. Ling Feng got off the carriage and walked towards the teahouse.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the private room. Fatty opened the door and saw Ling Feng standing there.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan, Ling Feng said: "Miss Shen, the master is here to take you back to the mansion."
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Shaoying and others, she left with Ling Feng.
As soon as Shen Jingxuan entered the carriage, she fell into a warm embrace.
When their eyes met, Shen Jingxuan unexpectedly discovered that Xie Lingxiao seemed to be in a good mood today, with a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Before Shen Jingxuan could ask, Xie Lingxiao spoke first: "Xuan'er, guess what's the happy event today?"
Happy event? Shen Jingxuan looked at him puzzledly, not understanding what he was talking about that made him so happy.
