Chapter 141: Long Stay

Lu Yundi glanced at Lu Wanqing, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

She said coldly: "The family rules of my Lu Mansion cannot be changed at will by you and me. Since Shuang'er made a mistake, she must be punished."

Lu Yunluo sat quietly by the side. She knew her sister's character very well and said no more. But her eyes showed sympathy for Lu Shuang'er.

Lu Yundi turned around and looked out the window. It was spring, and the peach blossoms in the mansion garden were in full bloom. She couldn't help but think of the scene when the peach blossoms were in full bloom last year.

"Sister, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom last year, we went to appreciate the flowers together. Do you remember?" Lu Yunluo asked softly.

Lu Yundi retracted his gaze and smiled slightly: "I remember, we said we would travel to Jiangnan together, but unfortunately..."

Lu Yuncui said, "It's a pity that my sister has to manage the affairs of the mansion and can't make the trip."

Lu Yundi shook his head gently: "It's okay, when I'm done with this busy period, I will definitely take you to visit Jiangnan."

The three chatted for a while, and Lu Yundi suddenly remembered something. He turned to Lu Yuncui and said, "Cui'er, do you have any news recently?"

Lu Yuncui smiled slightly: "Don't worry, sister. I have sent people to investigate and there is some clue about the matter."

A glimmer of joy flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes: "Really? That's great. Cui'er, you've worked hard."

Lu Yuncui said modestly: "Sister, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

At this time, Lu Shuang'er finished cleaning and returned to the living room. Lu Yundi glanced at her and nodded slightly: "Shuang'er, you did a good job today, continue tomorrow."

Lu Shuang'er was delighted and said quickly, "Thank you, Miss. I will definitely continue to work hard."

……

"Ah! My Wanqing! Master, please avenge Wanqing." Yao looked at Lu Wanqing who had fainted on the ground and burst into tears.

The candlelight flickered and the atmosphere was solemn. Minister Lu's face was livid, and a trace of barely perceptible grief flashed across his eyes, but he still suppressed his emotions and slowly walked to Yao and Lu Wanqing.

"Madam, don't be sad. I will definitely avenge Wanqing." Minister Lu said in a deep voice, with unquestionable firmness in his voice.

Yao wiped away her tears, her eyes gleaming with determination: "Master, Wanqing has been smart since she was a child, and she is the pride of our Lu family. This time she encountered this disaster, we must not let those murderers go easily."

Lu Wanqing woke up slowly. Looking at her father and mother's concerned eyes, she endured the pain and forced a smile: "Father, mother, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Minister Lu looked at his daughter's pale face and felt a pain in his heart, but he knew that this was not the time to be sad, so he suppressed his emotions and asked, "Wanqing, tell me, who is so bold as to commit a crime in front of the Lu Mansion?"

Lu Wanqing gritted her teeth, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes: "Father, it was Mr. Li from the Li family. He was drunk and deliberately bumped into me and beat me up."

"Li family?" A trace of surprise flashed in Minister Lu's eyes, and then he sneered, "So it was him. The Li family and our Lu family have always been on good terms, but I didn't expect their young master to be so shameless."

Yao said angrily, "Master, we can't just let this go. Since the Li family dared to do this, it means they don't take our Lu family seriously."

Minister Lu nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Madam is right, our Lu family has a prominent position in the court, how can we tolerate such provocation from others. I will immediately report to the court and ask the emperor to make a decision."

Lu Wanqing said worriedly: "Father, the Li family's influence in the court cannot be underestimated. If we do this, will it cause unnecessary trouble?"

Minister Lu smiled and patted his daughter's shoulder: "Wanqing, don't worry, father will handle this matter properly. We must not only avenge Wanqing, but also make the Li family pay the price."

Minister Lu returned to the mansion and said to Yao with a serious look, "Madam, I have heard that the Li family's crime was supported by the royal family."

Yao was surprised and said, "Royal family? How is this possible?"

Minister Lu sighed, "Madam, the affairs of the royal family are very complicated. We can only act carefully and not let this matter implicate Wan Qing."

Lu Wanqing said worriedly: "Father, what should we do then?"

Minister Lu pondered for a moment, then said, "Wanqing, don't worry, my father has already come up with a plan. I will contact some ministers in the court and jointly report to the emperor to expose the crimes of the Li family."

Yao said worriedly, "Master, will this cause dissatisfaction from the Emperor?"

Minister Lu smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. I know what to do. As long as we have solid evidence, the emperor will definitely make the decision for us."

Finally, a month later, the emperor issued an order to dismiss the young master of the Li family and to compensate the losses of the Lu family. The Lu family celebrated, and Lu Wanqing finally put aside her worries.

At the celebration banquet in the mansion, Minister Lu looked at his daughter with relief in his eyes: "Wanqing, your father has finally avenged you. From now on, you must be careful and don't let anyone hurt you again."

Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "Father, I understand. I will take good care of myself and won't let you worry."

Yao also said with emotion: "Wanqing, you have finally grown up. Mother is also proud of you."

……

Lu Yundi leaned on the chaise longue by the window, gently fanning herself with a leisurely look. She looked at the blooming flowers outside the window, but she couldn't help thinking of her sister Lu Wanqing.

Soon, the door curtain rolled up and Lu Wanqing walked in quietly. Her eyes were full of curiosity and concern, but her face was filled with a trace of sadness that was difficult to conceal.

Lu Yundi turned around and saw that it was his sister. He smiled and said, "Wanqing, why are you here?"

Lu Wanqing walked to her sister, sat down gently, and whispered, "Sister, I heard that you were not feeling well recently, so I came to see you specially."

Lu Yundi shook his head gently and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, don't worry. Did you come here today just to visit me?"

Lu Wanqing's eyes dimmed, and she sighed, saying, "Actually, I just want to talk to my sister about my worries."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and said, "Then go ahead and tell me. I'm here to listen."

Lu Wanqing bit her lower lip, as if she was hesitating about how to speak. She looked at her sister, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes, and finally said, "Sister, how do you feel about life in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion?"

A complex emotion flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and he sighed softly, saying: "To be honest, I was not used to it at the beginning. But after a long time, I found that life here is not as bad as I imagined. As long as Wanqing doesn't bother me in the future, it's fine to live in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion like this."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Lu Wanqing's eyes. She held her sister's hand tightly and said, "Sister, I know I have caused you a lot of trouble, but I really did it for your own good. Although the mansion is large, it is not a place to stay for a long time. Can you really live happily here?"
