Chapter 1973 Drunk

After Uncle Gu finished speaking, Lu Zheng glanced at the table and their conversation stopped.

Even the emperor was very interested in this question.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled: "Why should you feel sorry for him? Duke Chengen didn't feel sorry for A Yu, did he? Prince Kang didn't feel sorry for his son either! Zheng'er has been able to play with A Yu since childhood, which shows that they are the same. A Yu doesn't care, so Zheng'er certainly doesn't care either."

Everyone: "..."

I didn't expect you to be such a Duke of Zhenguo.

Lu Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly, but he had a good attitude and didn't think there was anything wrong with what the Duke of Zhenguo said.

He didn't get love from his father when he was a child, and now he's so old, he doesn't ask for it.

For example, Xue Qianyu and Prince Kang were definitely loved by their parents when they were young, so why should they compare with others?

The emperor poured himself a glass of wine, and his throat hurt from playing finger-guessing. After drinking it, he asked, "Duke Zhenguo, you said you would submit a letter of resignation and leave everything to Lu Zheng. He can handle the outside affairs, but what about the backyard affairs?"

Duke Zhenguo said, "Men are responsible for the outside affairs and women are responsible for the inside affairs. Zheng'er, as the prince, supports the gate of the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, and the backyard is naturally managed by the prince's wife."

Uncle Gu interrupted and asked, "Old Lu, your second wife is still fine! Do you want your second wife to take care of the affairs of the inner house?"

Uncle Gu is not the kind of person who cares about face. He does not call her the Duke's wife or Mrs. Lin. He directly stated that your second wife does not even call your wife.

The Duke of Zhenguo said, "I believe my future daughter-in-law has the ability to make her willing. We are old, whether it is external or internal, it is right to let the children take care of everything. Zheng'er is the eldest brother, and his wife is the eldest sister-in-law. I believe no one in the backyard dares to challenge their power."

After a pause, the Duke of Zhenguo sighed, and then said sincerely: "Back then, my father asked for the title of prince for Zheng'er. This is the tradition of our Lu family. The eldest son and grandson inherit the title. Moreover, Zheng'er was raised by my father. He not only has the qualifications, but also the ability."

The emperor curled his lips: "After the old Duke of Guo died, I didn't see you treat him as an heir!"

Uncle Gu echoed: "That's right, and he was sent to his hometown in Yuzhou. Is this the treatment that a prince of a Duke's mansion should have? Old Lu, this is your fault, you should drink three cups."

The Duke of Zhenguo did not defend himself, silently poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank three cups in a row.

Lu Zheng listened to all this expressionlessly, thinking of the five years in the old house in Yuzhou.

Uncle Gu said again: "Old Lu, I've drunk a little too much. I just want to know one question. How did Xiao Jiajie not survive? Is it related to that Lin?"

Zhenguogong was stunned, looked at Uncle Gu, and then tears appeared in his eyes. He didn't say anything and poured himself another glass of wine.

Grandpa Gu wanted to remind Uncle Gu that it was New Year's Day and he should not do anything, but he was stopped by Grandpa Zhou.

Uncle Gu saw that he didn't say anything and pushed him: "Tell me! How did my Xiao Jiajie die? I couldn't come to the capital to beat you up more than 20 years ago, but you came to my door today, and I won't let you go!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dull.

Zhenguogong didn't answer Uncle Gu, but silently poured himself a glass of wine and drank.
