The 15th day of the first lunar month was not only a good day for them to get married, but also their birthday.
The Duke Zhengguo’s Manor was now filled with Lu Zheng’s people. His stepmother, Madame Lin, seemed to be under house arrest. Even the maidservants by her side had been replaced by Lu Zheng’s people.
Even during the wedding ceremony, he could only say that he was sick and did not appear.
Therefore, when the two of them were performing the wedding ceremony, only the country guarding Duke was sitting in the high Hall, beside him was the memorial tablet of Lu Zheng’s mother.
With their current status, no one dared to say anything.
The Grand wedding banquet ended after three rounds of drinking that night.
All that was left was the nuptial chamber.
The young couple blew out the red candle and the country guarding Duke wrote a letter in the study.
There was a thick stack of letters. After he finished writing, he placed them on the table and left the high Duke’s public house with his simple luggage.
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin only woke up late in the morning the next day. The first news they received was that the country guarding Duke had become a monk.
The two of them were stunned.
After reading the letter left behind by the country guarding Duke, Lu Zheng also felt relieved.
The country guarding Duke had written down everything that Lu Zheng had always wanted to know in his heart. His mother’s death, and how the Lin family had entered the family.
As Lu Zheng had investigated, the Lin clan was indeed related to the qu King. The son of the Lin clan was not from the Lu family, but the daughter, Lu ni, was indeed the country guarding Duke’s. He had never had any involvement with the Lin group. Other than Lu Yang’s birth, he had not let the Zhou group down. Everything he had done was to protect the Zhou and Lu families.
At that time, the qu King was quite powerful. When Lu Zheng was burned to death in the ancestral residence, directed and acted by himself, the country guarding Duke almost killed Madame Lin, but he was saved by the qu King’s
Men. Since then, the country guarding Duke became even more dispirited. If Lu Xue and Lu Zheng’s grandparents were not still alive, he might have really ended his life.
The country guarding Duke allowed Lu Zheng to deal with the Lin mother and son as he wished. As for Lu Suan, who had already married far away, the country guarding Duke did not intend to care anymore. He had already planned to end the secular world. Lu Zheng had inherited the Duke’s t.i.tle of n.o.bility, and in the future, everything in the Lu family would be decided by Lu Zheng.
Gu Xin read the letter together with Lu Zheng. She did not expect the Lu family’s situation to be like this.
On the other hand, she also thought about the difficulties that the Grand Empress Dowager and the Emperor had. The qu King had been very powerful back then and had planted spies in the families of countless officials.
After reading the letter, Gu Xin held onto Lu Zheng’s hand.
Lu Zheng held onto Gu Xin’s hand and let out a long sigh.
In the end, Lu Zheng did not do anything to the Lin mother and son. He only placed them under house arrest in his own courtyard. He did not lack for them to eat and wear, but it was absolutely impossible for them to go out.
After learning that the country guarding Duke had become a monk, the Lin family did not resist Lu Zheng’s decision. Lu Ming, on the other hand, had struggled, but it was useless.
Not only did he make arrangements for the mother and son, Lu Zheng even found someone to separate the Lu family.
The second and third branches of the Lu family had been separated. Lu Zheng had never cared about money. He only had one purpose, and that was to separate the family. Therefore, it was easy to separate the family.
Only Lu Zheng and Gu Xin were left in the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, and the Lin mother and son could only stay in their own courtyard.
Even though Gu Xin’s current status was no longer the same as before and no one in the Lu family could bully her, Lu Zheng did not want to bother Gu Xin with all those bad things.
With just the two of them, a simple life would be the best.
Regarding this, Gu Xin had nothing much to say. It was better to be simple like this.. It would be great if they could do something meaningful!
