"Hey, hey, brother Jinghuai, I was just joking."

Zhou Lin and Wang Yuechuan hurriedly caught up.

"Jing Huai, why is your book boy getting involved with Lu Canban? Is this a misunderstanding?" Wang Yuechuan asked.

He knew that this little genius Lu hated it when others compared him with Lu Yanshu.

Even when he was taking the scholar examination, some people took his articles and mistook him for Lu Yanshu.

"Brother Jinghuai won't be hurt, right? Brother Jinghuai will leave in autumn in half a year. The dean can point to you to get Jieyuan." Zhou Lin is a child of a poor family, and he is quite aloof.

Lu Jinghuai doesn't care about family background when making friends, and he is quite famous among the disciples from poor families, who vaguely regard him as the leader.

Several people entered the teahouse and sat on the second floor overlooking all living beings.

There are people around me talking about it: "Damn it, I don't know who put up a Bodhisattva lamp last night, which made me kneel down for half the night... I grabbed him and spanked him until his butt blossomed!"

“My family’s heads were swollen because they thought the Bodhisattva had appeared!”

"I wonder which bastard did this."

"Speaking of which, the fire in Zhongyong Hou's Mansion yesterday was really big. I don't know if anyone was killed." Everyone was talking about it.

Lu Jinghuai sat in the crowd, his handsome face covered with gloom.

Zhou Lin's eyes were full of smiles: "I was so ridiculous last night. The whole city was worshiping, and everyone wanted to catch the bastard who put up the lantern."

Lu Jinghuai: His mother knelt down on him all night, begging for three yuan to pass.

Shameful.

Lu Jinghuai was not in the mood to eat, so he found an excuse and separated from everyone.

After he left, Wang Yuechuan let out a soft cry: "What are you pretending to do? You stole Lu Yanshu's fiancée. How can you still have no grudges?"

Zhou Lin opened his eyes: "What's going on?"

"Lu Yanshu had a fiancée who became disabled because he saved her from falling into the water."

"Lu Jinghuai, he is determined to be the girl who fell into the water."

Zhou Lin groaned.

"They saved her and made her a cripple. Her promising future was gone. She actually abandoned Lu Yanshu and settled for brother Jinghuai?" Zhou Lin was incredulous.

"People all over the capital are bragging about how talented the man and the beautiful woman are."

Wang Yuechuan said disdainfully: "Lu Yanshu is disabled, who will speak for him? Who is willing to offend a closed disciple of Jinghong Academy, a genius boy who is very likely to pass the Three Yuan Ranking? Of course he will support him."

Zhou Lin frowned and felt that Lu Jinghuai's filter was a little broken.

"Brother Jinghuai is confused."

"He is aloof and unworldly. He never looks down on a poor family and doesn't care about his family background. How can he be so confused!"

"I even brought out a lot of books with my own annotations, so everyone can pass them around."

This is also extremely admirable.

"Hey, when will I be able to enlighten myself? Before brother Jinghuai was ten years old, he was still invisible to everyone. After he was ten years old, it was as if he had enlightened himself. His articles were very clever and praised." Zhou Lin sighed, A look of envy.

"Lu is really a genius, two in a row." Zhou Lin muttered, not noticing Wang Yuechuan's thoughtful eyes at all.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the Hou Mansion was tense.

"Why did you go to report to the official again? The dignified mistress of the Hou Mansion is always involved in this kind of thing! If there is a quarrel, do you think the reputation of the Hou Mansion is good?"

"Yanshu and Chaochao were not injured!"

"Hurry up and evacuate!" The old lady almost gritted her teeth.

Last night, in such a big fire, no one was burned to death!

Mrs. Xu's eyebrows were slightly cold: "What mother said is funny. Someone burned down the Marquis Mansion and killed my son. Why didn't you report it to the official?"

"Could it be that mother set the fire?" She said casually, which made the old lady turn pale with fear.

Lu Yuanze hurried over and his eyelids jumped when he heard these words.

"Mother Yun, what are you talking nonsense about? Yanshu and Chaochao are the blood of the Hou family. How can you doubt your mother? Wouldn't it hurt your mother's heart?"

"Hurry up and admit your mistake to mother!"

Lu Yuanze said matter-of-factly.

Xu said lightly: "Just discuss things and tell people what they say." When it comes to ghosts, it's natural to tell lies.

These words made Lu Yuanze blush even more.

The old lady couldn't even lift it up in one breath!

When did Mrs. Xu become so unfilial and disloyal!

"Yan Shu and Chao Chao were maliciously set on fire, but I still can't report it to the official? What's the reason? Aren't they descendants of the Hou Mansion?"

"Master Marquis, tell me, can I report to the official?" Mrs. Xu looked at him with a half-smile.

Lu Yuanze's heart skipped a beat.

"Why can't you report it to the official? Of course you have to report it to the official, but why did you arrest Lu Jinghuai's boy, a person who can't be beaten with a gun? Madam, I know that the child is your darling, but you can't wrongly accuse a good person."

Lu Yuanze sighed.

Mrs. Xu used to be docile and sensible, but why is she so unreasonable now?

Xu's lips curled up slightly and she looked at his expression carefully.

"Of course we found out that the son of my wife's second uncle is Lu Jinghuai's book boy." This relationship has been around for thousands of times. If it hadn't been for Chao Chao, no one would have been able to find out.

Lu Yuanze was stunned for a moment. He was afraid that even he himself didn't understand the relationship that had changed a thousand times.

"How...how could it be possible?" Lu Yuanze didn't even expect that he had actually found it!

"He, why did he burn inkstones?" Lu Yuanze was a little confused.

He had no idea that Lu Jinghuai's genius was plagiarized from his elder brother's article!

The baby he was so proud of was a fake.

He always thought that only Lu Chaochao would be burned!

Make room for Jing Yao.

"Last time, the master said that he was of noble character and asked the inkstone to testify for him. Is this a noble character?" Mrs. Xu looked indifferent.

"I heard that his identity is unknown and he has been living alone with his mother. Maybe he is an illegitimate child from someone in the capital." Mrs. Xu sneered, not caring at all that Lu Yuanze's eyelids were twitching wildly.

"I don't know which high-ranking official was so blinded that he gave birth to such a bad-natured person."

"That's enough!" Lu Yuanze couldn't hide his anger.

A thin stream of cold sweat broke out on Lu Yuanze's forehead: "Mother Yun, the book boy did it. There is no evidence to prove that it was him."

"Let's not misunderstand a good boy." Lu Yuanze clenched his fist slightly.

Seeing Xu's rage at this moment, he did not dare to persuade Xu to withdraw the lawsuit, so he could only leave the house in a hurry.

Xu's eyebrows were cold and she watched him leave.

"Tiger poison does not eat its seeds. He is worse than an animal. Who the hell am I marrying?" Xu bit her teeth until they bled.

[Hmph, the scumbag is looking for someone to fish out Lu Jinghuai again...]

[He has a very good personal relationship with Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites. If it weren't for someone's help, would he have been able to hide it for so many years? 】

Minister of Rites?

Wasn't this the second-rank Minister of Etiquette who was introduced to her through her natal family's influence?

Xu was shaking with anger.

Fortunately, fortunately, there is Chaochao.

Mrs. Xu spent half the afternoon playing with Chao Chao, and then she heard Dengzhi angrily report.

"Madam, Shutong shouldered the blame and was arrested, but Lu Jinghuai..." Dengzhi's eyes turned red with anger.

"I heard... there is someone providing guarantee." And the other party is quite powerful.

"Why don't we go back and invite uncle?" Dengzhi couldn't swallow this breath.

Mrs. Xu waved her hand: "Come here..." She leaned over and whispered in Denzhi's ear, and Denzhi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Hey, madam, you are so awesome!" After saying that, he walked out the door happily.
