~15 min read 2,818 words

Lu Lu Chunying walked out of the house, stepped down the stairs step by step, and came calmly to Duan Duan Shaoxia.

She didn't look Duan Duan Shaoxia in the eye, bowed her head, and saluted: "Thank you, Madam, for saving me."

The house was full of people from the Hundred Flower Sect. Lu Lu Chunying stood alone in the hall, like a leaf in the wind, ready to lose her life at any time.

Zuo Zuo Wugang stepped on Lu Lu Dongtang and secretly clenched his fists.

Lu Lu Yuanxin remained calm and secretly sprinkled insect bait.

Xiao Yeci bit her silver teeth and prepared to fight for her life.

Zhang Zhang Xiuling looked at Duan Duan Shaoxia.

Duan Duan Shaoxia looked at the exploded corpses beside her.

After a long silence, Duan Duan Shaoxia opened her mouth: "Lu Chunying, well done, you have the look of Lu Dongliang back then.

You are not safe here. Be obedient, follow me back to the mansion, we are a family."

Lu Lu Chunying didn't speak.

Duan Duan Shaoxia raised her head and looked at the second floor: "Yeci, go back with me. In the future, let's live a good life, the two of us sisters."

The voice carried sorrow and sincerity, and Xiao Yeci was actually a bit moved.

Before Xiao Yeci could speak, Lu Lu Chunying said: "Madam, I'd better stay here."

Duan Duan Shaoxia said with tears in her voice: "Lu Chunying, still can't trust me?"

Lu Lu Chunying shook her head: "Madam, I trust you. You treat me just like my own mother.

But I can't go to the mansion. You've seen it too, Uncle doesn't tolerate me, and I don't want to implicate you."

Duan Duan Shaoxia said with a trembling voice: "I'm not afraid of being implicated, I just want the family to live together."

Lu Lu Chunying's tears also fell: "Madam, I want to too, but I really can't go back now. I don't have the qualifications to enter the mansion's door yet."

Madam Duan cried: "Lu Chunying, you have, I say you have!"

Lu Lu Chunying shook her head: "I can't go, and I shouldn't go. You have Zhang Huaiyi to take care of you by your side. If I go, the whole family will talk behind our backs again."

This sentence had depth.

Zhang Zhang Huaiyi and Lu Lu Chunying were of the same generation.

But nominally, the two had no blood relationship.

Is there a problem with living in the same residence?

It depends on how you look at it.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it might not be a problem; after all, the Lu family mansion is so big.

In the eyes of a wealthy family, there are some problems. Zhang Zhang Huaiyi already coveted the Lu family's business, and if he were to "handle" Lu Lu Chunying, the problem would be big!

After this sentence was finished, Madam Duan's tears disappeared, and a rare gloom appeared on her face.

What to do?

Could she drive Zhang Zhang Huaiyi out?

That was her own son!

Gloomy for a moment, Duan Duan Shaoxia shed sincere tears again: "Lu Chunying, I really want you to go home."

Lu Lu Chunying's tears were no less than Duan Duan Shaoxia's: "Madam, I really want to go home, but I really can't go back now."

Li Li Banfeng brewed a cup of green tea in the bedroom and listened carefully to the sincere crying of the two people.

They couldn't be persuaded. Zhang Zhang Xiuling continued to watch Duan Duan Shaoxia, seeing if she was going to use force.

Duan Duan Shaoxia looked at the bedroom upstairs, saw Zuo Zuo Wugang waiting for battle at all times, Lu Lu Yuanxin waiting for battle in secret, and Li Qi who was temporarily invisible.

While hesitating, someone whispered to Zhang Zhang Xiuling: "Master, Ma Wu is here."

Ma Wu brought Huo Ling and a group of branch guards to the residence.

The matter was going to get big.

Duan Duan Shaoxia looked at Ma Wu: "Ma Junyang, you are here too."

Li Li Banfeng cleaned up a group of Lu Lu Maoxian's subordinates at the Poplar Tea House, learned that Lu Lu Chunying was in danger, and immediately asked Ma Wu to bring people to support, but because Ma Wu walked a bit slowly, he waited until now.

Seeing the situation in the house, Ma Wu immediately understood the situation and bowed calmly: "Madam, I am late."

Ma Wu said one sentence, first stating his position.

He was here to save people, not to cause trouble.

He not only stated his own position but also stated Duan Duan Shaoxia's position for her.

Madam, you are also here to save people, right?

Zhang Zhang Xiuling frowned slightly and compared the number of people on both sides.

Cultivation was invisible, but if you just looked at the number of people, if they fought now, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose.

Duan Duan Shaoxia nodded slightly at Ma Wu: "Ma Junyang, Lu Chunying is a good child of our Lu family, you must take good care of her."

Ma Wu nodded slightly, and the two looked at each other unconsciously.

Just like that, a bloodshot appeared in Duan Duan Shaoxia's eyes.

A bloodshot also appeared in Ma Wu's eyes.

Duan Duan Shaoxia turned back to Lu Lu Chunying: "Xue Yingying, come home and sit more often. Even if you just accompany me to talk, I will feel happy."

Lu Lu Chunying nodded repeatedly, but just wouldn't raise her head.

Duan Duan Shaoxia looked at Lu Lu Dongtang: "You brought people to harm the main family, what do you have to say now?"

Lu Lu Dongtang shouted: "It was my father who asked me to come. You have to ask my father about this!"

Duan Duan Shaoxia said to Zhang Zhang Xiuling: "Sister, did you hear it all?"

Zhang Zhang Xiuling nodded: "The Hundred Flower Sect bears witness. Lu Lu Maoxian harmed the main family. I heard this."

When Zhang Zhang Xiuling first became the sect master of the Hundred Flower Sect, she suffered no less difficulty from the Clear Guard Society.

She remembered this grudge, and today she wanted to be a witness.

Duan Duan Shaoxia said to Lu Lu Dongtang again: "Your whole family harmed the main family together, what else do you have to say?"

Lu Lu Dongtang shouted: "This is my father's instruction. What is the reason for this? You have to wait for my father to speak. What do you want to do? You dare to touch me!"

Duan Duan Shaoxia said: "Xue Yingying, family law cannot tolerate this beast."

Duan Duan Shaoxia was letting Lu Lu Chunying deal with Lu Lu Dongtang.

Lu Lu Chunying looked at Lu Lu Dongtang.

Lu Lu Dongtang came to kill her. From her personal perspective, she had to take this revenge.

More than half of the Lu family recognized her as the main line of the family, and this matter of family law really had to be dealt with.

But in terms of seniority, Lu Lu Dongtang was Lu Lu Chunying's cousin-uncle. If she killed him now, would it leave a handle? After all, she wasn't the head of the family yet.

But if she didn't make a move, in this occasion, losing face, losing prestige, and leaving behind a root of trouble.

In a dilemma, Lu Lu Yuanxin suddenly said to Lu Lu Chunying: "Miss Lu Chunying, I have some private matters to discuss with my uncle."

Lu Lu Yuanxin came to Lu Lu Dongtang, and Lu Lu Dongtang hurriedly shouted: "Lu Yuanxin, Uncle loved you the most before. When you were a child, Uncle even held you..."

The words Lu Lu Dongtang used to humiliate Lu Lu Yuanxin at Lu Lu Maoxian's residence were still in his ears.

Lu Lu Yuanxin didn't make a sound. He squatted beside Lu Lu Dongtang and put a pair of flower-spotted earwigs into Lu Lu Dongtang's ear.

Earwigs, also known as "ear-clamping insects," are named after the pair of clamping shovels at their tails. There is a popular saying among the people that earwigs can crawl into a person's ear, bite through the eardrum, enter the brain, and eat the brain marrow.

In fact, most earwigs only eat dead branches and rotten leaves, and some eat insects; they generally don't hurt people.

Only this kind of red and white flower-spotted earwig is a vicious species specially cultivated by insect cultivators. Under the urging of the insect cultivator's technique, this kind of insect becomes extremely fierce and can really drill into the skull and destroy the brain.

Lu Lu Dongtang first felt an odd itch in his ear, and after the itch, he felt a sharp pain. Immediately, one ear lost its hearing. In less than a minute, the earwig had drilled into the skull. Lu Lu Dongtang screamed repeatedly and his whole body twitched.

After a few more minutes, Lu Lu Dongtang stopped moving. Lu Lu Yuanxin brought a short knife, cut off Lu Lu Dongtang's head, and stood in front of Lu Lu Chunying: "Lu Lu Dongtang, harmed the main family, has now been executed according to family law!"

Seeing this scene, Duan Duan Shaoxia vaguely saw Lu Lu Dongliang and Lu Lu Dongjun from back then.

It didn't seem quite the same.

In Lu Lu Yuanxin, Duan Duan Shaoxia saw a loyalty rarely seen in Lu Lu Dongjun.

Lu Lu Yuanxin hadn't known Lu Lu Chunying for long; why did he want to do this?

Thinking of this, Duan Duan Shaoxia understood.

In the Lu family, the only one who looked up to Lu Lu Yuanxin was Lu Lu Chunying, and this was the only chance for Lu Lu Yuanxin to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Duan Duan Shaoxia nodded: "Lu Chunying, I think we should find your uncle and ask for an explanation."

Lu Lu Chunying nodded: "I think so too."

The group escorted a group of assassins to Lu Lu Maoxian's residence. On the way, Ma Wu specially went upstairs and asked Li Li Banfeng: "Old Seven, are you going?"

"Yes," Li Li Banfeng said, "I want to see what explanation Lu Lu Maoxian can give."

An explanation couldn't be given; Li Li Banfeng was very clear about this.

But today's matter must have a result.

Lu Lu Maoxian was gone, so who would be in charge of the Lu family from now on?

A group of people marched to the gate of the residence. They weren't afraid of others knowing; today was the day to clean up the house.

On this point, Lu Lu Chunying and Duan Duan Shaoxia's ideas were basically the same: to take this opportunity to completely deprive Lu Lu Maoxian of his right to speak in the family.

When they saw the residence in a mess, everyone knew that Lu Lu Maoxian really didn't have the right to speak anymore; he would never be able to speak again.

Lu Lu Maoxian was dead, and no one knew who killed him.

Lu Lu Chunying hadn't recovered yet when she suddenly heard Duan Duan Shaoxia crying.

No one knew who she was crying for or why she was crying. In short, she cried so heartbreakingly that it made people want to shed tears too.

Was she trying to pretend to be a good person?

Lu Lu Yuanxin didn't want to be a good person. He shouted to the crowd: "Regardless of Uncle's situation today, we must have an explanation for the matter of harming the main family!"

Lu Lu Maoxian's other children didn't dare to make a sound, and the dozen or so concubines cried directly.

Lu Lu Yuanxin gave Lu Lu Chunying a suggestion: "Directly wipe out Lu Lu Maoxian's branch to prevent future trouble."

Duan Duan Shaoxia, while crying, secretly sized up Lu Lu Yuanxin.

This ruthlessness was not inferior to Lu Lu Dongjun's back then.

Ma Wu stood behind the crowd and asked Li Qi in a low voice: "Old Seven, what do you think?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "Don't ask me. You are a young master of a famous family; you must have seen more of this kind of thing than I have."

Ma Wu pondered for a moment and said: "Although Lu Lu Yuanxin is ruthless, he didn't do anything wrong in this matter."

Lu Lu Chunying was thinking of a countermeasure when she suddenly heard a roar in the distance.

Chug! Chug!

A steam car drove over.

This thing was rare in Green Water City and not common in the entire Like Puluozhou. Ma Wu recognized the person in the car from afar: "Old Seven, this is the Customs Official Liao Liao Zihui."

The Customs Official had come.

Li Li Banfeng swept a glance at the car. There were six people in total. Ma Wu lowered his voice: "The one wearing a hat is Liao Liao Zihui, and the others are his bodyguards."

Liao Liao Zihui wore a long gown, a hat, and a pair of round-rimmed sunglasses. He was about 1.7 meters tall, and his waist circumference was estimated to be equal to his height.

After getting out of the car, Liao Liao Zihui asked about the situation and said to the crowd: "Today's matter ends here."

Could it end here with just one simple sentence?

Lu Lu Yuanxin was not very convinced, but he didn't speak.

Liao Liao Zihui came to Lu Lu Chunying, expressionless: "The Customs Hall will host a banquet tomorrow. The invitation will be sent later. I hope Miss Lu Chunying will honor us with her presence."

Lu Lu Chunying didn't speak.

Xiao Yeci said from the side: "Daughter, promise quickly."

Lu Lu Chunying nodded slightly.

Liao Liao Zihui got into the car and left immediately, staying for less than half an hour.

In just this short half hour, a bloody battle ended.

Zhang Zhang Xiuling escorted Duan Duan Shaoxia back to the Lu family mansion, and Ma Wu took people to escort Lu Lu Chunying back to the residence.

On the way, Zuo Zuo Wugang looked solemn and said to Ma Wu: "Fifth Master, I didn't see Lu Miss Dongchun just now."

Lu Lu Yuanxin also looked solemn: "Forget about others, this disaster must not be left behind."

Lu Lu Chunying asked: "What kind of sect is Lu Miss Dongchun? I think her battle technique is very strange."

Lu Lu Yuanxin said: "She is a clothing cultivator. This sect is very evil. In the early stage of cultivation, she can practice clothes to be very fierce.

In the later stage of cultivation, I estimate that only clothes will be left on her body."

Lu Lu Chunying didn't understand: "What do you mean by only clothes left?"

Lu Lu Yuanxin said: "No flesh and blood, the whole body is clothes."

Lu Miss Dongchun was in Lu Lu Maoxian's residence, having prepared for a desperate fight.

Learning that Lu Lu Chunying had brought people away, Lu Miss Dongchun picked up an iron and ironed herself repeatedly.

The layers of holes in her clothes emitted blue smoke one by one, and the clothes-eating worms were scalded to death.

Lu Miss Dongchun took out a sewing needle, slowly picked out the insect corpses, and then threaded the needle to slowly sew up the wounds on her body.

Starting from her face.

In Xiaoyao Dock, Li Li Banfeng asked Ma Wu: "Internal affairs look at the flag, external affairs ask the Customs. Why does the Customs Official interfere in the internal affairs of the Lu family?"

Ma Wu rubbed his eyes and said: "The Customs Official will not easily interfere in the internal affairs of major families, but as long as they interfere, no major family will reject the Customs Official's face."

"In that case, the wealthy families of Like Puluozhou are controlled by the Customs Official?"

"This is something that can't be helped. The Customs Official controls transportation everywhere. If they confront the Customs Official, the business cannot be operated.

Actually, today's situation is a good thing. The Customs Official hosting a banquet for Lu Lu Chunying is equivalent to acknowledging her status as the head of the family.

It's just that I didn't expect Duan Duan Shaoxia to have dealings with the Hundred Flower Sect. Whether Lu Lu Chunying can sit firmly as the head of the family is still hard to say."

While speaking, Ma Wu kept rubbing his eyes until his left eye bled.

Li Li Banfeng was startled: "What got into your eye? Why are you rubbing it so hard?"

Ma Wu laughed: "A root of affection got in, and I just rubbed it out.

Old Seven, Duan Duan Shaoxia is an affection cultivator, and her level is not low."

PS: Ma Wu has a deep understanding of affection cultivators.
