Chapter 138 The truth back then
Su He has a letter that Chen left for her before her death. Although the content of the letter explains that Lu Zhiping's death is unusual, it does not clearly state the reason.
And since Lu Zhili dared to use this matter to establish good relations with the Guo family, there must be some secret hidden in it.
She wanted to ask clearly for Lu Huaihe and also for the eldest princess.
"Lu Zhiping died early, and was killed by bandits. I don't know the reason, and there is nothing to ask."
Liu was determined not to give in. She didn't believe those old stories. Who else could know better than herself?
Also, why did Su He, an outsider, care so much about this? He just wanted to find an opportunity to take credit in front of the princess, taste the sweetness, and show off.
Liu believed that she had begged humbly in order to find Lu Zhili today, but that did not mean she had to agree to everything.
Seeing that she was not telling the truth, Su He did not get angry. She turned her head and asked Qingyun to take out the things. Soon, a set of dirty men's clothes appeared in front of him.
When Liu saw the familiar style of the clothes, she immediately recognized that they were the ones Lu Zhili wore on the day he disappeared.
The reason why she remembered it so clearly was that when Lu Zhili left home that day, it was the morning when the fog was the heaviest, and Liu had reminded him to put on more clothes.
The clothes that were originally on his body now appeared in front of him.
Liu couldn't help but panic: "You...what did you do to him?"
Su He lowered her eyes slightly, and gently stroked the clear jade bracelet with her hand, saying in a leisurely tone: "Old Madam, please be sincere, and you will see me soon."
"You! You imprisoned Zhili for no reason. Do you know that this is against the law? Do you believe me when I call the government to arrest you?" Liu stood up angrily. She didn't expect that Su He actually imprisoned her grandson and even stripped him of his clothes? It was really obscene and shameless!
Qingyun raised his hand weakly: "I am from the government office."
"you!"
He was Lu Huaihe's subordinate and had always been inseparable from him. How could Liu not know him?
She pointed at Su He and the others and laughed in anger, her voice trembling: "Okay! Okay! Su He, don't think you have become powerful just because you have the support of the princess. Even if this matter is brought to the emperor, I am still right! You...just wait and see!"
Liu knew very well that even if Su He imprisoned Lu Zhili, his life would not be harmed. He just wanted to find out the cause of Lu Zhiping's death.
That was a secret related to her life, how could she tell it to others casually?
He stood up immediately, glanced at Su He and the others with a gloomy face, walked out angrily, and prepared to file a complaint to the emperor.
Unexpectedly, before the foot reached the threshold, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Amid the chilly wind, Zhaoyang walked in dressed in gorgeous clothes. His slightly raised chin and contemptuous eyes reminded everyone of the disparity in Liu's status.
Liu was surprised to see her here.
I wonder how many people heard what I just said?
Lu Zhiping’s death is a knot in Zhaoyang’s heart.
She is a royal, so what can’t any man get her?
But she has been a widow until now because of Lu Zhiping.
Everyone around laughed at her for being stupid.
Only Zhaoyang herself knew that others only regarded her as the eldest princess and the master. Only Lu Zhiping regarded her as the lady and wife who would support him through thick and thin.
When Lu Zhiping's body was transported back, his face was severely disfigured. Zhaoyang cried so hard that she fainted upon seeing this tragic sight. It was not until she saw the black mole on his neck from a distance and with the identification of his entourage that she confirmed that he was dead.
Even though he remembered that many details were not right afterwards, the person had already been buried. Zhaoyang did not want to disturb the peace of the deceased, so he did not investigate further.
However, after hearing what Su He said today, was there something strange about Zhiping's death?
"Princess, you..."
"When Ah He asks you a question, answer it completely." Zhao Yang said word by word.
She was standing so close to Liu that she could even seem to sense the coldness on her body.
Liu was not afraid of Su He, but she was afraid of the eldest princess.
As soon as she appeared, Liu's momentum of clamoring to file a complaint disappeared instantly.
"But I really don't know..." She still wanted to cover it up.
Nanny Tang ordered the maid to close the door, and took out a shiny dagger from somewhere, waved it in front of her eyes, and deliberately said to Liu: "In our house, we can kill a chicken or a duck casually, and no one will be surprised even if blood is seen."
Su He looked at Nanny Tang's serious threat with a hint of smile in her eyes.
Liu was really frightened.
He took a few steps back, staring at the dagger in Nanny Tang's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do?"
"I cannot bear to see the princess frown. I will kill anyone who makes her frown! Anyway, I have enjoyed the glory and wealth with the princess. My grandchildren have grown up and are in school. I have no regrets in this life. I have only one life left, so dying is not a pity!"
"I said! I said everything!"
Liu squatted beside the table with her hands covering her head, she was terrified.
She had seen Nanny Tang's character before.
If we really fight to the death, we won't acknowledge anyone's words.
Liu has never enjoyed a peaceful life until now, so how could she be willing to die?
She has hidden a lot of private money and hasn't spent it yet!
"Princess, whatever you want to know, just ask. I will tell you everything I know!"
See Liu lower her head.
Zhaoyang sat down aside, and Nanny Tang immediately asked Su He's questions again.
How did Lu Zhiping die?
then.
Lu Zhiping was about to go back to his hometown with his brother Lu Yaozong to worship their ancestors.
At that time, in Lu's mansion, Liu wanted to hold a birthday ceremony for her father, but she didn't have enough money, so she decided to use Zhaoyang's dowry. According to the ancestral system, the eldest princess should build a new mansion to live in after getting married, but Zhaoyang didn't want Lu Zhiping to be gossiped about by others, so she was willing to move into Lu's mansion and live with her aunts and sisters-in-law.
Zhaoyang's dowry could not even fill several courtyards. Sometimes, the people in the mansion had other intentions and secretly took some of the money to use, but Zhaoyang just turned a blind eye and did not care.
It was not until Liu's father was about to hold a birthday celebration that he asked Zhaoyang to borrow 12,000 taels of silver.
Zhaoyang refused to lend the money, which made Liu unhappy and she spoke ill of him in front of Lu Yaozong.
On the way back to his hometown, Lu Yaozong thought about complaining to Lu Zhiping, maybe he would agree to lend him money. After all, they were brothers and everything could be discussed.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiping was unwilling and asked Liu to discuss it with Zhaoyang. After all, it was her own dowry. Besides, it was Liu's father's birthday gift, which had nothing to do with him and Zhaoyang. There was no need to step forward for the glory of his brother and sister-in-law.
In a few words, he got to the point of emergency.
Lu Yaozong actually pushed Lu Zhiping first. Just as the carriage had just driven onto the mountain path, there were several sounds of fighting inside the carriage, and then the carriage tilted and fell down the mountain.
Lu Yaozong got up first, and when he saw Lu Zhiping and the driver fainted, he had a bad idea.
What's the point of keeping him if even his own brother doesn't help him?
