Chapter 142 Confrontation in Court

"Big brother!"

Lu Chaochao's face turned pale.

Lu Yanshu covered his head tightly, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

His fists were clenched and his veins were showing.

"Inkstone..." Mrs. Xu panicked.

Lu Yanshu raised his hand slightly and closed his eyes tightly. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, which showed that he was extremely uneasy inside.

[How old was Lu Jinghuai when he ordered Pei Yaozu to kill someone? 】

[After the incident was completed, Pei Yaozu’s eyes were gouged out and his tongue was cut out! 】

Lu Yanshu carefully digested Chao Chao's thoughts.

He was young and frivolous at the time, and suddenly became paralyzed in bed, unable to accept the reality.

Extremely opposed to that memory.

For so many years, I didn’t dare to think deeply about it.

Even thinking about that memory is blurry, and the doctor once said that he blocked that memory as a way to save himself.

Now that it suddenly sounded, he still couldn't calm down.

His lips trembled and he looked at Mrs. Xu, unable to speak for a long time.

Mrs. Xu's eyes were red: "I have sent Pei Yaozu to the Xu family. Unfortunately, after ten years, there is no evidence that Lu Jinghuai paid to commit murder."

"It's all my fault that my mother doesn't know people well and has caused you to suffer."

"Mom, our life is getting better and better, let alone the past."

"All the hardships, deceptions, and humiliations I have suffered will be paid back one by one!" Lu Yanshu held his sister's hand and felt calm.

"Tomorrow, my son will report to the official."

"As time has passed, there is no evidence that the murder was paid, but..."

"You can alienate the Hou Mansion and throw dirty water on Lu Jinghuai..."

Lu Yanshu concealed the murderous intention in his heart.

[Born a bad boy, Lu Jinghuai was born a bad boy! 】

Lu Chaochao cursed in his heart.

Early the next morning.

Lu Yanshu went to the government in person to report to the government, and the Xu family escorted Pei Yaozu.

Lu Yanshu sued Lu Jinghuai for committing murder and sued Pei Yaozu, which caused an uproar.

"Was Lu Yanshu murdered back then?"

"Or my uncle? Grandma's biological brother?"

"Oh, Lu Jinghuai paid to kill someone? How old was Lu Jinghuai back then? He was the same age as Lu Yanshu, eight or nine years old, right?" The capital city was in an uproar.

Master Yin Zhong of Shuntian Prefecture personally welcomed Lu Chaochao into the government office.

Who made her Princess Zhaoyang now?

"Princess Jin An." Mr. Zhong bowed.

Lu Yanshu is now a scholar, so it can be seen that he does not pay homage to the official, but he bowed respectfully.

The young man pointed at Pei Yaozu: "When Wan Sheng went into the water to rescue Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang hid in the rockery and cried in panic."

"Wansheng had already climbed ashore, but it was Pei Yaozu who held him down in the water until he was unconscious."

"Due to excessive stimulation, I lost that memory for many years, but now I can remember it and catch the thief!"

"Pei Yaozu had his tongue cut out by Lu Jinghuai and his eyes gouged out. Now he is a cripple!"

Master Zhong hurriedly summoned Lu Jinghuai.

Then came the old lady.

As soon as old Pei entered the court, he wailed and rushed towards Pei Yaozu.

"Yaozu, Yaozu! I am the elder sister, who was born to gouge your eyes out!"

When Pei Yaozu heard the sound, he immediately opened his mouth and screamed, with tears streaming down his face.

I hugged Mr. Pei and cried.

"Tongue, where's your tongue? Yaozu! You are the root of my Pei family!" The old lady cried heartbrokenly while hugging Pei Yaozu.

Lu Jinghuai looked on coldly. He had just finished the provincial examination and was still a little weak.

He just raised his hands and said to Master Zhong.

"Wansheng has never paid anyone to kill someone. Besides, Jing Huai was only eight years old at the time!"

"The eldest brother hates Jing Huai for entering the Marquis Mansion. Jing Huai thinks that his status is dishonorable and he owes eldest brother. He tolerates him in every way. But why would eldest brother throw dirty water on Jing Huai?"

"Jing Huai bought the murderous uncle and grandfather with the intention of killing his eldest brother. It is simply ridiculous."

"Jing Huaisheng dug out his uncle's eyes and cut out his tongue. This is even more nonsense!"

Pei Yaozu could hear his voice.

Suddenly excited.

"Ah! Ah!" Pei Yaozu rushed in his direction like crazy, but he was blind and could only stumble and fall to the ground.

Lu Jinghuai looked calm: "Uncle, for the sake of family love, Jinghuai will take good care of your only son." Lu Jinghuai said word by word.

After ten years of wasted time, Pei Yaozu has long lost the stupidity he once had.

He was crying, his face full of despair and compromise.

"Uncle, did I pay to kill my brother?"

"Uncle, did I dig out your eyes and tongue?" Lu Jinghuai walked forward and bent down to look at Pei Yaozu.

Pei Yaozu held his head and screamed miserably.

He trembled when he heard Lu Jinghuai's voice and kept shaking his head.

Old Mr. Pei was so frightened that he lost his mind.

"Who do you think buys murder inkstones?"

"Who dug out Yaozu's eyes and tongue?" Old Pei felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Lu Yanshu's expression was dull. He never thought that he could defeat Lu Jinghuai today, but...

I just want to alienate the Hou Mansion.

But Pei Yaozu must die.

"Grandma, Jinghuai didn't buy the murder. You see, my uncle and grandpa shook their heads." Lu Jinghuai looked at his grandmother and said seriously.

"Perhaps it was my eldest brother who offended my uncle unintentionally."

Old Mr. Pei's throat seemed to be blocked.

She knew her own brother, and he would cherish his life without the inducement of large sums of money.

He often did things like sneaking around and watching his little wife take a bath.

But he dare not commit murder.

"Don't call me eldest brother, you don't deserve it!" Lu Yanshu chuckled.

"You are like a rat hiding in a dark ditch, spying on our lives every day. You are a shady and dirty thing. How can you call me big brother?"

"Old lady, do you know who you are?"

"Let your uncle kill someone, and then gouge out his eyes and tongue. It's really terrifying... I'm really afraid that one day you will do something to my grandmother." Lu Yanshu glanced at the old Pei.

The smile on Lu Jinghuai's lips dropped, and his face turned gloomy.

Mr. Zhong had already known that the two of them were the outer concubine and the main concubine of the Hou Mansion.

He was stunned and asked, "Pei Yaozu, did someone instruct you to kill someone?"

Pei Yaozu shook his head vigorously.

"Did you do it alone?"

Pei Yaozu knelt on the ground and kept nodding.

Old Mr. Pei suddenly woke up: "Yanshu, Yanshu, can you please don't tell uncle and grandpa?"

"We are a family, we are a family!"

"Yanshu, your uncle has been spoiled since he was a child. Can you please spare him once? He will never dare to do that again in the future."

"Besides, haven't you stood up now? Yanshu, you have recovered. You are not dead or disabled, let your uncle go..." Old Pei suddenly pulled Lu Yanshu and looked at him hopefully.

"The whole family has broken bones and tendons. Lord, we won't sue, we won't sue." Old Mrs. Pei waved his hands, wanting to take Pei Yaozu away.

He was stopped by an official.

"family?"

"Does the family tree have my name on it?" Lu Yanshu asked softly.

Old Mrs. Pei stood there blankly.

[Fortunately, the relationship has been severed, otherwise the old woman would still want to suppress others with her filial piety! 】

[My eldest brother has been in despair for ten years, and you just laugh it off? 】

Lu Chaochao's face tightened.

"You personally kicked me out of the house, crossed out the family tree, and wrote a letter of dissolution of marriage. We have nothing to do with me anymore?"

Lu Yanshu said softly.

A dangerous light flashed in his eyebrows. (End of chapter)
