Chapter 392 Lu Su, you are so self-righteous!

Yu Shu opened her red lips and said slowly, "You don't need to do it deliberately. You just need to take care of your husband wholeheartedly. In addition, you may want to say a few good words for Lu Zhi and Lu Su on weekdays. You must know that the more you say, the more your husband will value you." Yu Shu did not say a word more, and directly told Xiao Yue this best response strategy. After hearing this, Xiao Yue nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.

After a short pause, Xiaoyue seemed to remember something and continued to ask, "By the way, is it necessary to inform Shihua about this?"

Yu Shu thought for a moment, then waved her hand and responded, "Don't bother, just keep everything as it is. Even if I tell her, given her personality, I'm sure she won't care too much about it."

When Yu Shu heard Xiao Yue mention Shi Hua, she just smiled and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, although Shi Hua was a little special, she didn't seem to have any feelings about marrying Gao Yao. On the contrary, Shi Hua showed great interest in the various pharmacological knowledge Gao Yao showed. Every day, she was willing to spend a lot of time studying those profound and mysterious pharmacology.

At the same time, in Lu Zhi's room, at a fixed time, someone would come to clean up the filth in the room and bring food to Lu Zhi. When Lu Zhi slowly walked to the table, she first vigilantly observed whether there was any unusual movement at the door. After confirming that it was quiet outside the door, she quickly reached out and gently opened the bowl of rice. Under the rice, there was a small note!

Lü Zhi hurriedly picked up the note and read the words on it carefully. After reading it, she couldn't help but frowned slightly and sighed. Then, she put the note into her mouth without hesitation, chewed it slowly and swallowed it. Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Lü Zhi had lost interest in eating at this moment. She just casually picked up a few mouthfuls of food, put the bowl and chopsticks aside, and ignored it.

Lü Zhi had been running the backyard for a long time, and naturally cultivated a group of loyal confidants. However, despite this, she was still full of fear and did not dare to act rashly. At present, the only action she could take was to find out the general situation in the mansion as much as possible, but even with such a small move, she had to be cautious, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble and attention.

After all, the world outside this mansion was full of unknowns and dangers for Lü Zhi. Even if she had enough ability to explore further, she would never have the courage to act rashly. Moreover, Gao Yao was now in this mansion. His terrifying power and means made Lü Zhi walk on thin ice, and she dared not do anything beyond the rules.

In this way, time passed slowly. About half an hour later, there was a slight noise from the closed door. Then, the door was gently pushed open, and a figure flashed in. When she saw clearly that the person was Lu Su, Lu Zhi was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise on her face. As Lu Su entered the room, the door quickly closed again, leaving only Lu Su in the room.

"Why are you here?" Lu Su's sudden arrival instantly broke Lu Zhi's originally calm heart, causing her eyes to widen and her face to be filled with astonishment. She had never expected that Lu Su would appear here without any warning.

Especially when she saw the attitude of the maid at the door towards Lu Su, Lu Zhi was even more suspicious. From the maid's respectful but slightly restrained appearance, it was obvious that Lu Su was still under some kind of control.

"My husband allowed it." Lu Su said softly, but there was a hint of doubt in her words that was difficult to conceal. "From what the maid said, it seems that Yu Shu pleaded for us, so we sisters can gather here to relieve the pain of loneliness."

When she said this, Lv Su's eyes flickered, and she was obviously very confused about what was happening. In sharp contrast, was Lv Zhi's reaction after hearing this. Her tense face suddenly relaxed, as if a huge rock pressing on her heart had finally fallen to the ground.

"So, my husband has not forgotten the deep friendship between us. I think his arrangement this time is just a temporary expedient. I believe it won't be long before we can regain our freedom." Lu Zhi murmured to herself, slowly sitting on the bed, and sighed deeply, as if she wanted to spit out all the worries and uneasiness in her heart with this sigh.

"Ah? What does this mean?" Lu Su blinked, looked at Lu Zhi with confusion, and asked in a soft voice.

"If my husband really wanted to depose us, why would he have kept us under house arrest in this mansion? What we did before has earned some of my husband's trust. But the situation this time is too serious. My father is actually planning to betray my husband. Once such a thing is discovered, we will definitely be implicated given the nepotism between my father and me." As she spoke, Lu Zhi could not help but sigh slightly, and a trace of helplessness and sadness appeared on her beautiful face.

She thought to herself that everything seemed to have been settled, but who could have expected Lu Gong to do this? His actions made the situation, which had been a foregone conclusion, suddenly become confusing. Seeing her sister like this, Lu Su asked anxiously, "If that's the case, why did you say that your husband would let us go?"

"Isn't it obvious? Since my husband has arranged for you to come and meet me, his intention is obvious! This move is nothing more than to allow you and me to communicate information and exchange situations more conveniently, so that there will be a clear explanation. When my husband asks one day, we will be able to answer fluently. In my opinion, my husband has already gone to see my father," Lu Zhi opened her red lips and said slowly.

Hearing this, Lu Su couldn't help but tremble slightly, her face showing shock. Her beautiful eyes widened and she asked in a trembling voice: "Sister, what you mean is... my husband didn't take my father's life?" As she spoke, she seemed to be happy and sad. An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, making her not know what to feel for a moment.

"Huh! Kill? I advised you to kill your father before, did you do it?" Before Lu Su finished speaking, Lu Zhi asked back in a cold voice. Lu Zhi's sudden question was like a thunderclap in Lu Su's ears, which made her speechless. Lu Zhi's eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were staring at Lu Su, obviously she didn't expect her sister to ask her in this way.

Faced with Lu Zhi's sharp questioning, Lu Su was speechless for a moment, and stammered: "I... I really couldn't bear to do it at that time! After all, he is our biological father..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her head gradually drooped, not daring to look directly into Lu Zhi's aggressive eyes.

"Humph! Do you really think that I don't know the little calculations in your mind? Do you think that I am deliberately using you to eliminate father in order to ensure the stability of my own position? How stupid! Don't you understand that I am doing this entirely for the sake of your and my future? If we had done as I said and taken action immediately, we could have killed some of the people present. In this way, we can completely say that all this was an accident. After all, in a fierce conflict, swords have no eyes! Even if someone gossips about us in the future, we can easily solve it, and no one will believe what they say."

Looking at Lu Su in front of her, Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel helpless. She couldn't help but scolded: "But you are so self-righteous that you think it's inappropriate and don't follow my instructions! Now, things have come to this point. If we want to do it again, the infamy we bear will not only be mine, but also your husband! The crime of killing your father-in-law is not something you can bear lightly. Do you really think it's that easy to bear?"

Hearing Lu Zhi's harsh rebuke, Lu Su's face turned paler, as if she had lost all her blood. Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. Gradually, her legs seemed to lose the strength to support her body, and she involuntarily slumped down on the chair.

"But, but, it was obviously my father who rebelled!" Lu Su tried to defend herself anxiously, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness flashing in her clear eyes. However, when Lu Zhi heard this, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Sister, why can't you see through it? Now is the time when the imperial army is attacking the southern border. If the outside world knows that our father-in-law is rebelling, it will inevitably cause panic and turmoil in the entire southern border. In this way, the people's hearts will be unstable and the situation will become difficult to control. Moreover, as the leader of a region, if my husband is charged with this crime, it will have an extremely adverse impact on his future development." Lu Zhi shook her head helplessly, secretly sighing in her heart that although Lu Su was intelligent, she was still inexperienced and her insight into people's hearts and politics was far from enough.

Then, Lu Zhi continued, "Besides, if you can really deal with this matter decisively, when your husband returns and knows about it, even if he won't say anything on the surface, he will definitely love you more in his heart. After all, you helped him solve a crucial problem, and all you have to endure is the suspicion of some insignificant people. In this way, you will not only gain the full trust of your husband, but you will also be more likely to be favored in the days to come. It's a pity... Alas!" At this point, Lu Zhi sighed again, with a trace of regret in her eyes.
