446. Chapter 446 Death
Mrs. Lu has been a decisive and strong woman all her life. She lost her husband in middle age. She supported the entire Lu family with one hand. Until the moment she fell down, she was still concerned about whether the entire Lu family could get through this difficult time.
Her greatest hope is Lu Lingzhi, this is the grandson she brought up with her own hands. Watching him fight bloody battles for the Lu family, watching him earn honors for the Lu family, Lu Lingzhi is already the biggest support in her life.
In the past year, the Lu family has experienced too many changes.
Lu Shuang'er was abolished and died tragically, Lu Lingzhi was abolished as a nobleman, the Lu family moved out from the noble and luxurious mansion of the Marquis, and became humble merchants again. Zhen's spiritual spring was protecting her body, but when the news came that Lu Lingzhi was revoked by the emperor and broke her tendon, she was hit hard, and when she learned that the Lu family's business had suffered a complete failure, she had no hope of survival. idea.
For her old man, this is a fatal blow, without Ye Zhen's spiritual spring, she can no longer sustain it, and she has reached the point where the oil is exhausted.
"Mrs. Chen, go and call the third child here." Mrs. Lu held her breath, and was finally willing to see Lu Shiming.
Lu Shixun glanced at the old lady when he heard the words, "Mother, what are you doing seeing the third child now, it's important that you take good care of yourself."
Mrs. Lu closed her eyes and did not speak. She wanted to hand over her last words to the third child with her last breath. She was completely disappointed with the second child. The Lu family's business in Jinkou City failed. He didn't find out the reason himself, but told him Others said that it was because Yaoyao harmed the entire Lu family. Can such a son who dare not take responsibility be expected to protect the entire Lu family?
"Mother..." Lu Shiming happened to be resting at home today, and when he heard that the old lady was finally willing to see him, he immediately went straight to the upper room with Mrs. Pei, and knelt in front of old lady Lu as soon as he entered the door, "It's my son who is not filial."
Mrs. Lu opened her eyes and glanced at him, and then looked around. Except Mrs. Liu, everyone in the Lu family was present.
"Third brother, I've run out of gas, and I have a few words to tell you, and you all should listen." Mrs. Lu held Lu Shiming's hand and said in a weak voice.
"mother!"
"grandmother!"
The others knelt down and understood what Mrs. Lu meant by saying this.
Lu Shiming was sobbing, and the guilt in his heart could not be expressed in words.
"First, after my death, the Lu family will be handed over to the third daughter-in-law, who will make all major decisions. Second, since the business of Jinkou City can no longer be saved, then sell everything that can be exchanged for money. , our Lu family doesn't owe anyone else a dime, third..." Mrs. Lu gasped heavily before she finished speaking.
Lu Shixun cried out unwillingly, "Mom, our Lu family's business can't just disappear like this."
Mrs. Wang glared at Mrs. Pei even more bitterly, why should this family be handed over to Sanfang?
"Third..." Mrs. Lu cried out with all her strength, "Yaoyao is a girl from the Lu family, that is my granddaughter, any of you...don't blame her anymore, if she wants to leave, let her Walk……"
Lu Shiming cried and lay on the ground, tears fell all over the floor, "Mother, mother..."
"Fourth!" Mrs. Lu's chest puffed up, her eyes widened and she stared ahead, her last words seemed to exhaust all her vitality, "Let Yanzhi live well!"
After saying this, her chest slumped, and her eyes slowly closed.
Lu Shiming cried bitterly, "Mother..."
The old lady of the Lu family has lost her breath.
Everyone in the room wept bitterly, no one could have imagined that the old lady would leave such words when she was dying, let alone that she would leave so quickly.
...
...
When the carriage entered the city gate, Ye Zhen was very nervous. She didn't know what to say when she saw Mrs. Lu. The old lady must be resentful towards her, and her father...is he already in the capital? She still hasn't figured out what to say about her true identity when she meets her father.
"Are you nervous?" Mo Rongzhan's hand slowly slid over, looking for an opportunity to hold her hand.
"This is... what's wrong?" The carriage arrived outside the gate of Lu's house at some point, and Ye Zhen froze when she saw the whiteness outside the gate.
Hong Ling took a look, "Girl, it seems that someone... died?"
Ye Zhen felt a deep pain in her heart, she thought of the person who was most likely to die, "No, I haven't come to apologize to her yet, she won't just leave like this."
Lu Shiming walked out of the gate wearing a plain pickaxe. He was slightly taken aback when he saw a carriage parked outside the gate.
"Father." Seeing Lu Shiming appearing, Ye Zhen finally had the courage to speak, but she couldn't stop crying just now, Lu Shiming was wearing a filial son's suit, and the old lady passed away...
"Yaoyao, why are you back?" Lu Shiming looked at Ye Zhen in the carriage in surprise, he thought she had gone to Dongqing Kingdom.
Ye Zhen got down from the carriage, looked at the mourning clothes on Lu Shiming's body and cried even harder, "Old lady, she...she..."
Lu Shiming's eyes turned red, "The old lady left yesterday."
"Father, is it because of my affairs?" Ye Zhen felt uncomfortable and guilty, thinking that it was because of her life experience that the old lady was stimulated.
"It's none of your business, you..." Lu Shiming still wanted to ask how she came back, but before he finished asking, he saw Murong Zhan get off the carriage, he was so frightened that he forgot to say anything, just went straight Looking intently at the emperor who came to his daughter, "Emperor... Your Majesty, you are here too."
Mo Rongzhan stretched out his hand to hold Ye Zhen's little hand, and gently squeezed her palm, "Yaoyao, my condolences will change."
Lu Shiming still had a lot of things he wanted to ask his daughter, but now he couldn't ask anything. He turned around and told the family servants, "Go and get the filial piety for the third girl."
After a while, Lu Shixun came out with his servants. He had never seen Mo Rongzhan before, so he didn't recognize the man standing next to Ye Zhen as the emperor. He frowned and said to Lu Shiming, "My son, you feel sorry for yourself!" Your adopted daughter is your own business, but now that the entire Lu family, including the clansmen, are present, is it appropriate for you to let her go in to salute your mother in sackcloth and mourning?"
"Why isn't it appropriate?" Lu Shiming asked coldly. He knew that the second brother was angry and felt that the old lady was favoring him even when she was dying, but he couldn't stop his daughter from wearing mourning for the old lady at this time, otherwise she would die will feel guilty.
"The old lady was pissed off by her. Does she still have the face to worship? Aren't you afraid that your mother will die in peace?" Lu Shixun asked angrily.
Lu Shiming said angrily, "Second brother, didn't you hear clearly what my mother said before she died? Her old people said that Yaoyao is her granddaughter. If Yaoyao comes back and doesn't wear mourning for her, she will die in peace." .”
