MTL - If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified-Chapter 37 What's wrong with Lu Jing?

   Chapter 37 What's wrong with Lu Jing?

  The interior of the banquet living room is connected to the outside world. You can see that under the sunlight, there are needles on the ancient pine, still with a little bit of green.

   Many people present have not seen so many smiles on Old Lady Ning's face for a long time.

  The old lady Ning sat on the top, with Lu Qiong and Ning Qiang beside her.

   At the table just below her, Lu Chongshan and Madam Zhu were at the same table, and Madam Zhu looked at Lu Chongshan with tears in her eyes.

   In addition to Lu Feng and Lu Jiang, there were also many young masters and young ladies from the Second House. They looked at Lu Zhongshan with a lot of embarrassment and curiosity.

  Lu Chongshan has been cultivating Buddhism for ten years. The last time he returned to Lufu from Jokhang Temple was six years ago.

   In the past six years, many people present were his close relatives, but they had never seen Lu Chongshan.

   It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Ning is so happy when Lu Chongshan returns to the residence.

   The feast begins.

  All kinds of luxurious food were brought up by the servant girls one by one.

   In the small jade plates, there are ingredients that Lu Jingjian has never seen before. The aroma is fragrant and the dishes are beautiful, like exquisite handicrafts.

   Qingyue opened her eyes, she had never seen such beautiful food.

  Unexpectedly, her expression was caught in the eyes of many maids, who covered their faces and snickered.

  Lu Jing didn't change his face, and whispered to Qingyue: "When the banquet is over, we will take the food back, otherwise it will be a waste."

  Qingyue nodded slightly. Many masters of the Lu family were here. She was a maid who was inconvenient to speak, but she also agreed with Lu Jing's decision.

   "Food can't be wasted."

  Lu Jing whispered in his heart, but he was not in a hurry and tasted slowly.

   The old lady in front of the Gaotai Jade Case always had a smile on her face.

  Lu Qiong looked very good, and smiled in front of the old lady, which made the old lady even happier.

  The old lady also touched Ning Qiang's long hair from time to time, and looked at Lu Chongshan not far away, her eyes filled with happiness.

   This hostel lasted for a full hour.

   At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew through and blew into the banquet hall. There were yellow leaves falling from many spring trees outside the garden, which probably brought the sadness of Mrs. Ning.

   The smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and she sighed: "On this Mid-Autumn Festival, we should be reunited and enjoy the moon tonight, but Shenyuan is still on his way to Taixuanjing.

   And my poor girl..."

   When the old lady Ning said this, she could not help but burst into tears.

   Ning Qiang next to her not only covered her face and cried, but the poor girl in the mouth of the old lady Ning was Ning Qiang's biological mother who died of the great demon!

  Ning Qiang had tears in her eyes, while Lin Rendong patted her on the back lightly.

  Ning Qiang cried for a while, then remembered the poem Lu Jing wrote to her that day, and couldn't help looking at Lu Jing.

   At this time, Lu Jingzheng was sitting at the end of many desks, his bearing was as usual, and he didn't even forget to chuckle towards Qingyue.

"Cousin Lu Jing has also suffered a lot, his mother has long since left him, the head of the family sees him as nothing, and his first-born mother hates him a lot, even the seat in the clan ranks last, and the other cousins ​​laugh at him, but he But still poised..."

   "Those who abandon me will not stay on the day of yesterday, and those who disturb my heart will be troubled today..."

  Ning Qiang thought of Lu Jing, the poem Lu Jing copied for her, and she felt a lot more peaceful for some unknown reason.

   is at this time.

   At a banquet like this, Mrs. Zhong, who had never spoken much, suddenly rolled up her long sleeves and said to Mrs. Ning, "Old Mrs., it is rare for many people to gather today.

   The old lady was in a low mood. Hearing Madam Zhong's words, she waved her hand slightly and said, "The rules of the house are naturally important and should not be neglected. On weekdays, you are also taking care of the affairs of the mansion, so it is up to you to ask."

   Mrs. Zhong is graceful and graceful, wearing a blue-blue Guiyue robe, wearing a long hairpin with patterned incense beads, and a little rouge, which looks luxurious and solemn.

   She got the old lady's words, and her eyes wandered, falling on many young masters and young ladies.

   Many young masters and young ladies bowed their heads, with fear in their eyes, lest Madam Zhong's eyes would fall on them.

   The next moment, Madam Zhong said, "Lu Jiang, Lu Jing!"

  Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong changed their expressions, Lu Feng and many other young masters and young ladies raised their heads and looked at Lu Jing and Lu Jiang.

   Lu Chongshan still bowed his head on the high platform, as if he had never heard the name of his son-in-law.

  Lu Jiang stood up, glanced sideways at Lu Jing, and moved forward.

  Lu Jing finished drinking the wine in his hand safely, then turned around and gave Qingyue a look, indicating that he was relieved, and then slowly got up.

The eyes of many young masters, young ladies, maids, etc. are all focused on Lu Jing... Because Lu Jing's position in Lu's mansion has always been low, many young nobles do not even have much impression of Lu Jing except for the status of "in-law" .

   But today, Madam Zhong's tone was serious, and she said she wanted to be in the manor, and suddenly named Lu Jing, which made them quite curious.

   "Lu Jiang, you brought people into the palace without notice, and rode through the courtyard, do you know what's wrong?"

   Madam Zhong's voice was cold and her eyes were focused on Lu Jiang.

   Her voice was not so severe, but Lu Jiang knelt down without hesitation, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Auntie, Lu Jiang knows that he is being presumptuous, please punish Auntie!"

   Lu Jiang's voice just fell.

Another woman came up from the hall in a hurry. The woman also wore gold and silver, and her robe was precious. She also came to the hall and knelt down and said, "Mrs. Zhong, it's my fault that my son is not strict, please ask Zhong. Madam punished me along with me, just in accordance with the rules of the government."

   This woman is Lu Jiang's biological mother, Mrs. Zhou, and Lu Zhongshan's concubine!

   There was silence in the hall, but no one felt that Lu Jiang and Mrs. Zhou's actions had gone too far, because... in the Lu Mansion, Mrs. Zhong had accumulated a lot of power, and no one dared to shake her power!

   Even Mrs. Zhu, the mistress of the Second House, stood up at this time and here, saluted Mrs. Zhong, and said, "It's my lax management of the family that made my sister worry."

Mrs. Zhong had a smile on her face, but she first smiled at Mrs. Zhu: "My sister is serious, why should I be polite between my concubines? Lu Jiang is the young master of the Second House. He was still young and made a mistake. A little punishment is enough. The important thing is that the second mansion should be more vigilant on weekdays. Now that the head of the house will return, there are not many people in and out of Changning Street who are staring at the Lu mansion. It's arrogance."

   Mrs. Zhu glanced at Lu Chongsheng lightly, and found that Lu Chongshan never raised his head from beginning to end, as if ignoring the affairs of the mansion at all.

   So she saluted Madam Zhong again: "What my elder sister taught is that my younger sister saves it."

   Mrs. Zhong looked at Lu Jiang and said, "Lu Jiang, you are the young master of the Second House, and the master and wife of the Second House are naturally respectable, so I can't punish you too hard.

   But the mansion must not be too casual, thinking that what you have done is not big, and knowing that you have made a mistake, you will go to the Houshan barren courtyard to think about it for a month, and in the next year, the monthly rate will also be halved. "

   Mrs. Zhong spoke softly, but the hall was still silent.

  Lu Jiang thanked him and said solemnly, "Thanks for the gift from Auntie, Lu Jiang understands."

   Madam Zhong's eyes fell on Lu Jing who was beside him again, her eyes changed instantly and became much colder.

   "Lu Jing, do you know what's wrong?" Madam Zhong asked again.

   Her voice was extremely soft, but her tone was extremely stern. Originally looking at the young master and lady in the center of the banquet room, when she heard Madam Zhong's question, she couldn't help but bow her head abruptly, daring not to look again.

Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong looked at each other, and Ning Qiang's eyes were also very worried, even the little girl Lu Yi wrinkled her nose and said in her heart: "Lu Jing... I'm going to suffer this time, hurry up and admit my mistake, the punishment will be lighter. ."

   Everyone thought that Lu Jing would also admit his mistake.

  But the next moment…

   "Mother, Lu Jing... I don't know what was wrong."

  Lu Jing saluted Madam Zhong, but his words were astonishing, causing everyone's eyes to stagnate!

Ning Qiang thought anxiously: "Why did my cousin answer like this? The mistress asked, whether you made a mistake or not, you must admit it. Only in this way can you not refute the mistress's face. After all, in this hall, it is the Lu people from all over the house who are gathered. Surname, in front of so many people, how can this be good?"

  Lin Rendong was also a little surprised, her impression of Lu Jing was indeed not so unwise!

   Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.

  Although Lu Jiang, who had returned to his original position, did not understand Lu Jing's answer, there was a flash of joy in his eyes!

   Madam Zhong never expected that Lu Jing would answer like this.

   But her face was still light and cloudy, she stood up and walked down the high platform step by step.

   "Fuzhong rules, without the consent of the elders, you can't practice martial arts outside the palace!"

   "My Lu mansion is a family of martial arts, and the rules of martial arts are particularly heavy. If you know the rules and touch them, the culpability is even heavier!"

   Mrs. Zhong's words are heavier and stricter than every sentence!

   "Lu Jing, you are the young master of my grand mansion. Your mother died young. You should be free to discipline me. Why did I teach you to break the rules of the mansion?"

   "Lu Jing, you know that you are wrong, but your mother-in-law asked you, but she asked me back... Do you think that you will leave the house, and I, the mistress of the Lu family... can't punish you?"

   Mrs. Zhong's words seemed to be questioning Lu Jing.

   But many of the ladies in the second mansion turned pale.

  Because they know that Mrs. Zhong's many words seem to be reprimanding Lu Jing, but in fact, she is using Lu Jingliwei to say that Mr. Chongshan and the ladies who have just returned from the Second House listen!

   The implication is... even if Master Chongshan returns to the mansion and Marquis Shenxiao is not there, then Madam Zhong is still the mistress of the Lu mansion!

  Lu Jing and Lu Jiang are all pawns of Mrs. Zhong today.

   Lu Jiang's case, the questioning and lenient punishment are showing his leniency!

   As for Lu Jing, he used it to establish his prestige!

  Qing Yue saw this scene with tears in her eyes and she was at a loss.

  Ning Qiang felt sour for no reason, and thought of herself again.

   "My cousin's situation is the same as mine. Lu Jiang made a mistake. His biological mother interceded and his aunt shared the burden."

   "But my cousin made a mistake, but no one spoke for him. If I made a mistake in the future, who would intercede for me?"

  Ning Qiang took a deep breath and begged the old lady Ning next to her.

   He heard Lu Jing whisper: "Mother mother, there are such rules in the clan, but how did I make a mistake?"

He looked calm, without the slightest fear on his face, and said in a succinct manner: "I once saw an old man in black fishing by the Xishui Pool in the West Courtyard. He said that he was a martial arts teacher of the Lu family. Seeing that I have extraordinary roots, I wanted to Teach me martial arts."

   "The elder asked, but Lu Jing didn't dare to say no, so he agreed, and my martial arts cultivation came because of it. Could it be that I was tricked by the old man, he is not from Lu Fuzhong?"

  Lu Jing paused slightly and said, "The elder said that his name is... Wu Bei died."

   Mrs. Zhong frowned suddenly.

   Even the old lady Ning, who was lying on the lady's chair with her arms in her hands, suddenly opened her eyes!
