Da Suining

Chapter 197 Swear
During the past few days in the Punishment Department, Lu Ying also thought over and over again, wondering if he would die.

He thought of his wife, Mrs. Liu countless times, and that little guy with a tiger head and a tiger brain.

He even thought that if he was lucky enough to escape from the prison, it must be the blessing of the ancestors of the Lu family.After leaving the Department of Punishment, he must take a good bath to get rid of the bad luck on his body, and then stay peacefully by Mrs. Liu and the child for the rest of his life.

He thought that since he helped Guo Kai take the blame once, Guo Kai should be grateful to Dade, and would not embarrass him again in the future.

Whether Guo Cheng will embarrass him in the future, he doesn't know.

But hearing the people from the Punishment Department say that Mrs. Lu and Guo Kai were pregnant, Lu Ying's heart was broken into countless pieces.

It was so broken that I couldn't even pick it up.

Now mentioning Guo Kai's threats, Lu Ying felt unbearable indignation, humiliation, and despair: "He told me that my child is not mine, and he wants everyone in the world to know about it. Lives are ruined."

Guo Kai didn't expect Lu Ying to say these words on the spot. Originally, this secret was his sharp weapon to manipulate Lu Ying.

Now that Lu Ying exploded out by himself, Guo Kai became a little nervous.

Lu Ying exposed all his shady shortcomings, what else would he not dare to do?

Looking at Mrs. Liu again, she was already limp on the ground.

Mrs. Liu came here today, although she didn't make any effort to dress up and was thin, she looked good after all.

After listening to Lu Ying's narration, Mrs. Liu felt as if her muscles had been constricted, and she had no strength left, but her mind was blank, and her hands were trembling, not knowing where to put them.

She raised her head, wanting to take a look at Lu Ying, but as soon as she met Lu Ying's gaze, she quickly lowered her head as if struck by lightning.

She dared not look at the light in Lu Ying's eyes, let alone look directly at it.

The past is vivid.

Before entering Lu's house, although she was the daughter of a boudoir, she was also very hot-tempered, and she was not a good girl who didn't leave her home.

She investigated the cause of Chang's death and also knew that Lu Ying needed a child to inherit the incense.

Those doctors who have treated Chang and Lu Ying, no matter how tight their mouths are, they can always be pried open with money.

Before getting married, Mrs. Liu knew that Lu Ying was sick and unable to conceive.

But she thought, nothing is absolute, Chang's death can be seen, maybe Lu Ying didn't know that he was barren, maybe Lu Ying looked forward to the birth of a child more than anyone else.

If the child is born in Lu's family, it is Lu Ying's descendant.

Who can refute it?

She wants to have a child.

Have a baby as soon as possible.

This is something close by.

For this reason, she worked tirelessly and went to various temples to burn incense every three days, only hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless her and let her mother be more precious than her son.

Until one day at the Huguo Temple, I met Mrs. Lan who was begging for a child. Maybe they were all childless, but they hit it off right away.

That day, Mrs. Lan introduced Liu Pingan to Mrs. Liu. At first, Mrs. Liu was too shocked to speak. The thunder exploded on top of her head, so that she couldn't sleep at night anyway, and spread pancakes on the bed all night.

However, in the case of Lu's parents, the fruit plate for the early birth of a precious son has not been removed, and the calligraphy and painting of hundreds of sons and grandchildren on the wall are hung in a conspicuous position.

From the early morning of the second day when Liu entered the house, the mother-in-law and servant girls began to secretly stare at her stomach.

Thinking about the tragic situation of the childless Chang family, Liu family decided to act.

She thinks that Liu Ping'an talks too much, so naturally she doesn't like it, but there is a chubby one wearing a mask, who is usually fierce to women, and seems to be particularly lustful, his women are the most frequently changed.

Having a child with such a person, he should soon forget her, right?Also avoid any worries.

Mrs. Liu sneaked into that guest room several times, about four or five times, or seven or eight times?She didn't dare to think about it, every time, the masked person was very cruel, and caused her injuries all over her body. For this reason, she refused to let the maids light the lamps in the room for several nights, and let Lu Ying sleep in the dark. Just say, "Recently, my eyes are not very comfortable, and I am sensitive to light."

Lu Ying loves her, sure.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before she became pregnant.

Later, she gave birth.

Liu felt extremely lucky.

She gave birth to a son.

Lu Ying didn't notice any clues either.

From now on, the family will be able to live in peace and stability.

Her son is the only heir, and she will be the mistress of the Lu Mansion.

After she gave birth, she seldom went to Huguo Temple to avoid people talking too much.

But it's so hard to die, that Mrs. Lan often goes to see her.

The two met on such occasions, and Mrs. Lan was not too shy. She always came to the door, which inevitably made people think.

Mrs. Liu always avoids seeing her.

Sometimes she was cut off by Mrs. Lan at the corner of the street. Mrs. Lan smiled and pulled her to the corner and said, "There is a new good-looking husband in Huguo Temple. He treats people the most gentle and amiable. Do you want to try it together?" The daughter is also unknown."

Mrs. Liu shook off Mrs. Lan's hand, and said coldly: "What happened back then is over, so you don't need to mention it anymore, otherwise, if the wind blows into your master Lan's ears, you should treat yourself like this, Do you still want to go back to the brothel? The good life is not enough, but I still want to toss? I have this son enough, and I don’t want to go to that dirty place. My family, Lu Ying, treats me very well, and I live a very happy life , if you don't come to me in the future, then thank God."

Mrs. Lan was flustered by the wind.

These are the sisters who went to prostitution together back then.

At that time, we laughed and laughed together, and even hooked our shoulders.

Changed face so quickly?Become gentle and virtuous?

Now it seems that the fire cannot be contained in the paper after all.

The wrong things done in those years may one day be exposed to the naked eye.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Lu Ying.

Lu Ying's eyes were red.

Liu's tears welled up, she opened her mouth, her throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and her nose was sore.

"Master—" Liu yelled with difficulty.

Lu Ying tried hard to bear it, and turned his face away.

"My lord—" Liu burst into tears.

Her voice is very beautiful, even after giving birth to a child, her voice is still so clear and melodious, like the morning lark singing on the treetop in the empty valley.

Lu Ying really wanted to hug her.

But Lu Ying held back.

The child in his arms hugged Lu Ying's neck: "Daddy, Daddy, why are you crying Daddy? Who bullied you Daddy? Are you hungry Daddy?"

The child's words made Lu Ying's eyes dim with tears.

He rubbed the child's face, rubbing and rubbing.

The child was ticklish, so he hid in Lu Ying's arms and giggled.

Lu Ying became ruthless, put the child aside, and stopped looking at it.

The child fell to the ground and stretched out his arms to Lu Ying, but when there was no response, he sat there with his legs crossed and cried "Wooooow", looking very wronged.

Lu Ying gritted her teeth and let the child cry, but she still didn't hug her in the end.

The child cried until his nose burst into tears.

Lu Ying finally became ruthless, and asked Liu Shi in a low voice, "You understand it in your heart, don't you? Are you lying to me?"

"Master—" Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears with her handkerchief, "Master, I didn't lie to you. This child belongs to you and is a descendant of the Lu family."

"Ha ha."

"If the master doesn't believe me, I can go under the sun and swear that if I deceive the master, I will be struck with thunder and die a terrible death."

"Ha ha."

"Master, don't do this." Liu took a few steps on her knees, and boldly put her arms around Lu Ying's shoulders: "Master, the child is really yours, I dare to swear on his life, if this child does not belong to the master, That makes him less than five years old...."

"Stop talking." Lu Ying interrupted Liu's words.

Mrs. Liu only thought there was hope: "Master believed me, did he believe me? I only have one man, Master, don't you know?"

"Several doctors have shown me that it is impossible for me to have children in my life."

"The child is given by the gods and sent by the Bodhisattva. How can those doctors be sure about the Bodhisattva's affairs? The master works in the Shenji camp and has a strong body. How can he not have a child? This child is obviously born by the master. , if the master doubts, how can he be worthy of the hard work of my October pregnancy? And this poor child, the master always says that he is the most like you, does the master not want him? "

"Daddy—"

"master--"

"Stop barking." Lu Ying covered her ears.

The emperor was in a fog.

Xiang Daying listened attentively.

Who would have imagined that the seemingly happy Lu family would have such a story?
Is this true or false?

The emperor waved his hand and asked Xiang Daying to come forward, and asked him in a low voice, "What do you think about this?"

"Chen... I'm a little confused."

"I'm also confused."

"Yeah, it's a bit confusing."

"Tell me, this kid who is going around, is it Lu Ying's?"

"Lu Ying said no, Mrs. Lu said yes, the child probably doesn't know it himself, we outsiders...how should we say it?"

"Just now I seem to have heard that this child belongs to my family? What does my family have to do with it? He is still a child himself?"

"This... this... I'm terrified, I dare not speak nonsense."

"Father, I am wronged." Guo Kai walked a few steps on his knees and came to the emperor's feet, hugging the emperor's thigh and crying: "Father, although I am a prostitute, I dare not let a married woman have children, father The emperor also said, I am still a child, how dare I do such a thing? If I dared to do it, Lu Ying would have taken revenge on me, right? He clearly wronged me now and wanted to frame me, father Emperor, don't listen to his one-sided words, you have to be the master for your son."

The emperor looked at Xiang Daying again.

Xiang Daying looked embarrassed: "If this child belongs to Lu Ying, then forget it, and the second prince must be cleared. If this child is... the second prince, then congratulations to the emperor, you have become a grandfather."

"You dare to be presumptuous." The emperor snorted.

Xiang Daying retreated awkwardly and stood behind the emperor.

"Go and call the imperial physician." The emperor ordered the guards, as if worried: "Call me all the imperial physicians who are working in the imperial hospital."

Soon, a dozen imperial physicians stood in two rows and arrived.

Even the judges of the Supreme Hospital came.

It's rare for a family to be so neat.

"According to the standard of seeing a doctor for me, take Master Lu's pulse well, and let me know what's wrong with you."

Who dares not to obey the emperor's order.

The imperial physicians lined up in a line according to their positions, and each took Lu Ying's pulse.

As expected, the imperial physician was an imperial physician, with the same mouth, and they all came to the same conclusion: Lu Ying was unable to have children because he was congenitally deficient.

Xuanguo's strongest medical team is here, and their conclusions are of course authoritative.

Regarding this news, Lu Ying seemed to be calm.

In the past, he always kept it hidden for fear that others would find out, but now he has made it public to the public. To him, what the imperial physician said was nothing more than an ant sting.

"It seems that Lu Ying raised a son for someone else." The emperor patted the table.

"This... the emperor calms down." Xiang Daying quickly persuaded.

"Xiang Daying, how do you appease your anger? If your wife takes care of someone else's son for you, can you appease your anger?"

"Your Majesty, don't make jokes about me. I won't share the bed with my wife when I'm old, and I won't have children."

The emperor looked up at Mrs. Liu.

Liu's face was like dead ashes, shaking like dead leaves after rain.

At first, she was able to hide it, but the emperor rushed to get the imperial doctors here, which was beyond her expectation.

She still wanted to struggle: "Your majesty... I have been wronged... This child really belongs to my master..."

"Mrs. Lu, have you ever heard that it is a crime to deceive the emperor? That is a death penalty. My gang of imperial physicians can tell whether the child you gave birth to has anything to do with the Lu family in an hour. Why? , do you want this child to lose his mother at such a young age?"

As soon as the emperor said these words, Mrs. Liu was instantly wilted.

She didn't dare to hug Lu Ying's shoulder anymore, and she didn't dare to look at Lu Ying's painful face again.Don't even dare to bully the king.

"Mrs. Lu, tell yourself."

Liu wished to bury her head in the ground, but it was too late now.

Big drops of her tears fell on the ground of the Punishment Department, and the ground was wet.

"Master, will you still live with me?" Mrs. Liu asked Lu Ying cautiously, "I admire Master wholeheartedly. I want to grow old with him and take care of him for the rest of my life."

Lu Ying didn't speak.

Mrs. Liu begged him again: "Master, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. For the sake of the child, master, we are going to die. The Lu family also needs a descendant. Master, I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse in the future." You, visit the capital three times a day, you only hope that the master will keep me by your side, you can be a maid or not, just ask the master to keep me in Lu's house, I can't bear to part with the master."

As soon as Liu's words came out, Lu Ying's heart softened again.

He will never forget Liu Shi's affection, maybe if Liu Shi says one more warm word, Lu Ying will hug her in his arms desperately.

But Liu did not.

She seemed to be desperate for Lu Ying.

Her gaze became as sharp as a knife.

Her words were as cold as ice: "This child, of course, does not belong to our master. When I married into the Lu family, I already knew that the master would not be able to bear children, but the Lu family needed another child, so I took the risk. I was born Humble, my father is a low-level official, my mother is just a low-level concubine, I have suffered so much since I was a child, and it is very easy to grow up and marry into the Lu family. I told myself that I must live like a human being. I must not follow my mother's old path, I must firmly grasp the master's heart, and be a favored lady. For this, I will pay all the price, what is my body?"
