My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 170 turned Yang Fang into a cripple.

Fu Liangyi knew very well that if he didn't rely on Yang Fang, he would have to worry about daily necessities for the rest of his life, let alone live in such a big house.

Yang Fang relied on Lu Youtiao.

Now, the house is without a mistress who is in charge, the master is lying on a sickbed, and she is carrying a child who could inherit the family business at any time.

Fu Liangyi reached out and pulled the blanket covering Yang Fang, thinking that after he died, she would sell this big house, take all the money, and buy a small house. With a child by her side, she and her child would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, Fu Liangyi's eyes softened as she stroked her belly, as if comforting the fetus.

Yang Fang was never satisfied, but Fu Liangyi was very content.

Fu Liangyi still remembers the scene from the first time she met Lu Youtiao.

Lu Youtiao was as bright and beautiful as a blooming flower. At that time, some people in the store laughed at her for being a mistress kept outside. She not only spoke up for her and rebuked them, but also treated her with respect. At that time, she was a petty person hiding in the shadows and spying.

He felt sorry for Lu Youtiao, but in this world, only selfish people have ever lived well. Even if it wasn't him, Yang Fang would have other women around him.

Before, what she wanted was to be the legitimate wife of the Yang family; now, what she wants is Yang Fang's family fortune.

This is the money that allows one to make a living.

As for Lu Youtiao, we will probably never see her again in this lifetime.

When the carriage arrived at the He residence, the maid woke Lu Youtiao and helped her into the house.

He Zhen instructed the people in the house to help move the dowry that Lu Youtiao had brought back. The boxes were heavy, and she couldn't help but sigh, "This is the Lu family after all."

Gu Xingzhao gave He Zhen a few instructions and then went to find Lu Qing.

At this moment, the Lu family had just finished eating and were sitting on the ground when someone brought up the matter of the capital. The others also began to think of their relatives and old friends in the capital.

"I wonder how long it will take for the letter we wrote to reach the capital."

Hearing this, Lu Xingyao turned around and said to them, "I guess it's already in their hands by now."

Yesterday, my grandfather asked me to urge everyone to write letters, saying that we should deliver the letters together to our ancestors so it would be faster.

Our ancestors were amazing! Sending a message was a piece of cake for them. They've probably already opened and read the message by now, and some people might even be packing their bags.

Upon hearing this, the clansmen jumped up from the ground in shock. "Our ancestors sent us a message?!"

They had no idea about this. They thought it would take at least seven or eight days to hire someone to deliver it. They never imagined that their ancestor would personally deliver it.

One or two of them immediately became excited.

"My handwriting is a bit messy, I don't know if our ancestors would have disliked it if they saw it," someone worried.

“Your letter is all inside, so your ancestors definitely won’t look at it. On the other hand, mine got mud on it. I should have been more careful.”

"When my wife comes later, I have to make her keep that letter and treat it like a precious artifact!"

One by one, they were all talking at once.

Lu Xingyao looked at them and laughed, "You guys are exaggerating too much. It's just that it passed through the hands of our ancestors, is it really necessary to be like this?"

Hearing this, the clansmen glanced at Lu Xingyao and rolled their eyes: "If you're so capable, throw away that red scarf your ancestor gave you before, instead of keeping it hidden while talking." Gu Xingzhao arrived just in time to hear their conversation and almost laughed until his stomach hurt. This Lu Xingyao, he's never serious for a moment.

She went directly to Lu Qing, who was explaining the book to the little princess. One was explaining in detail, and the other was listening attentively.

She stood quietly to the side and listened for a while. The old man spoke very well, no wonder the little princess was so eager to learn from him.

Only after the little princess left did Gu Xingzhao speak to Lu Qing, "Lu Qing, the letters have all been delivered. They should have all been opened and read by now."

Lu Qing thanked her profusely. If it weren't for the help of his ancestor in delivering the message, the messenger would probably have just set off by now.

Seeing that the old man didn't ask anything else, Gu Xingzhao had to speak up himself, "I went to the capital and met your granddaughter who married into the Yang family."

A few meters away, Lu Xingyan vaguely heard the voice of his ancestor. He immediately got up and walked a little closer to the old man, but he dared not get too close because he was afraid that contact with his ancestors would make him feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, I heard my ancestors mention Lu Youtiao, the eldest niece who married Yang Fang.

Upon hearing his ancestor mention his granddaughter, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Lu Qing finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Ancestor, I wonder how You Tiao is doing now?"

When he passed away, his granddaughter was less than two months pregnant, meaning the fetus was over four months along. This was a time when women often experience the most discomfort. He remembered how his wife had suffered greatly during her pregnancies, frequently vomiting and unable to eat anything.
Thinking of this, the old man was extremely anxious and eager to learn about his granddaughter's recent situation from Gu Xingzhao.

Gu Xingzhao sighed inwardly, "This is not good news. You should be prepared."

She didn't dare to say it directly, but instead took a shot as a precaution, otherwise she was afraid that she would anger the old man to the point of death.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing's smile froze. Was this not good news?

He quickly went through all the possibilities in his mind: had the fetus been lost, or had Yang Fang divorced his granddaughter?

Or has something happened to your granddaughter and she is no longer here?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing gripped his cane tightly, his breathing becoming more rapid. "Please tell me, sir."

Seeing that Lu Qing was ready, Gu Xingzhao dared to speak, "When you first left the city, she was placed under house arrest in the courtyard."

Lu Qing nodded; he had guessed that back then.

Gu Xingzhao added, "She was given an abortifacient by Yang Fang."

Lu Qing's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly gripped the cane in his hand tightly!

Gu Xingzhao: "Yang Fang initially put on a show, but later he stopped providing food and even sold off and dismissed all the servants in her courtyard. After that, he brought his mistress, who was four months pregnant, into the mansion."

She tried to be tactful in her wording, afraid of upsetting Lu Qing.

But even these things made Lu Qing so angry that his face turned red and purple, and the veins on his hand, which was holding a cane, turned purple from the force.

Gu Xingzhao continued, "When I arrived, she was seriously ill and extremely hungry."

Lu Qing's blood surged, and a loud alarm sounded from Gu Xingzhao's system backend: [Warning! Warning! The ward Lu Qing's heartbeat is abnormal.]

Gu Xingzhao immediately changed his tune, "However, I gave her medicine, so her life is not in danger for now. She can recover afterward, so you don't need to worry."

Lu Qing's heart slowly calmed down. The alarm was lifted, and Gu Xingzhao also breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to say anything more.

Lu Qing was so angry that the veins on his hand gripping his cane were clearly visible throbbing. He cursed inwardly, "Yang Fang is a beast!"

I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage in the first place. Even if my granddaughter complains, I shouldn't give in!
At this moment, the old man was filled with self-reproach and asked anxiously, "Ancestor, I wonder if You Tiao is still with the Yang family?"
