Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459: Seeing Through the Cunning Plan
After everyone listened, they all felt that this was no ordinary situation. Now, Beijing was probably in deep turmoil.
Without further delay, leaving behind the main force to proceed slowly, Gu Youyou, along with Jin Zijin, Yue Rujing, and more than ten others, rode swiftly back towards Beijing.
…
Inside the Lu Residence, General Lu was completely crippled, and as of now, the Emperor did not know; but when the Empress Dowager learned of it, she felt as if the sky had half collapsed.
And Madam Lu was still unaware of the consequences her uncontrolled violent actions had brought about.
She was placing all her hopes on her son, Lu Tianning.
“Tianning, do you understand now? What should we do?”
Madam Lu recounted, embellishing the conversation Madam Cheng had with her a few days ago, to Lu Tianning.
Beside her, Madam Lu’s daughter-in-law cried softly, saying, “Husband, if great-grandfather was wronged, then the hundreds of lives of my family have all beco unjust souls. They are all dead, while I linger on, unable to even avenge them. If I die in the future, how could I face them on the other side?”
Lu Tianning glanced indifferently at his wife but then shifted his gaze to Madam Lu’s face.
“Mother, is this all from what Madam Cheng told you?”
“Yes,” Madam Lu said, “Madam Cheng is an old friend of mine. Back when I was at my lowest, everyone disliked , yet she never disdained . She wouldn’t lie to !”
“Ha…” Lu Tianning laughed coldly.
“Tianning, you don’t doubt Madam Cheng, do you? I think what she says makes sense. Look at the current situation, I heard the court is in chaos.”
Lu Tianning pressed his lips together and smiled faintly, “So what does Madam Cheng an? What does she suggest you do? Rebel?”
Madam Lu was frightened and her face turned white, quickly saying, “No, no, how could there be rebellion? That’s a capital offense. Madam Cheng didn’t an rebellion; she ant that before the eldest prince returns, we should rally together to vindicate the Ducal Residence. As long as the Ducal Residence’s grievance is cleared, we wouldn’t be considered traitors, right?”
“Ha, not traitors? Vindication?” Lu Tianning laughed coldly and loudly said, “Mother, you are truly muddled, the whole world knows that Guogong was disloyal. How can you vindicate him? Hmph, I think besides rebellion, there really is no way to clear his na.”
“You…” Madam Lu looked at her pale-faced daughter-in-law and said, “How can you speak like this about the Ducal Residence? Isn’t that your in-laws’ family? How do you expect your wife to feel?”
The daughter-in-law was already crying softly into her handkerchief.
Lu Tianning looked at her indifferently, his voice softened a few notches.
He said, “I’ve said it long ago, the Ducal Residence is done for. You are now one of the Lu Family. No matter what happens to them, it has nothing to do with you. If you still can’t co to terms with it, maybe you can follow your sisters’ and aunts’ examples. But keep all those improper thoughts in check; let today’s matter go, and I hope there isn’t a next ti.”
Isn’t that telling her to die?
The daughter-in-law’s face was deathly pale, and she sat down on the ground, unsteady on her feet.
Madam Lu was livid with anger; this son simply did not believe them.
To vindicate the Ducal Residence, how do you know if you don’t even try?
Maybe it really is possible?
Lu Tianning swung his sleeves and left; he still had to go to the military. His father lay in bed, in such a state, and if he didn’t go to the military, wouldn’t it an watching the traitors invade with open eyes?
“Ah, Tianning, Tianning…” Madam Lu could only watch helplessly as Lu Tianning left in anger.
