Mad wife married: Lord, don't be arrogant!

Chapter 209 Confused, Completely Sluggish
Although Lu Jiashu was always called an idiot by Shu Yunche, he was full of cleverness.In the past few months in Kyoto, he has been with Lu Cheng.

Although he said he believed in his father, he still had his own doubts in his heart.

His father, Lu Cheng, was an imperial merchant, so in order to avoid suspicion, he was not very close to the officials in the court.But after getting along with Lu Cheng in the capital for the past few months, Lu Jiashu discovered that this was not the case.

Although Lu Cheng did it covertly, Lu Jiashu still noticed it.

On the surface, he seems to have a long relationship with the courtiers. In fact, he has personal shares in several shops in Kyoto, and most of these shops are backed by various princely families.

And Lu Jiashu also encountered several scenes where Lu Cheng met with ministers, but he avoided it.

After all, it was his father. Just doubting his father already made him feel unfilial. How could he still have the energy to find out.

But when he looked at the empty study and bedroom, and there was no more of Shu Yunqing's belongings, Lu Jiashu finally realized that he was not the only one who knew some things.

Chen Jing fell, but Shu Yunqing left.

At first glance, it seemed that Shu Yunqing had used up the Lu family and left.

But Lu Jiashu knew in his heart that Shu Yunqing probably knew something, after all... most of the princes and ministers who met his father in the capital belonged to Chen Jing's faction.

If it were said that Lu Cheng and Chen Jing had no relationship, even Lu Jiashu himself would not want to believe it.

"Master..." Looking at Lu Jiashu who was sitting in a daze in the yard, Dadong couldn't help feeling a little distressed: "Young Madam, she..."

"Did she leave any words before she left?" Lu Jiashu asked very calmly.

Dadong was startled, he thought that the young master of their family would get angry, but he didn't expect it to be so calm, so he hurriedly said: "When the young lady left, she only took her own things, and Arong and Lue, and didn't leave anything behind. what?"

"Oh, that's right!" Dadong hurriedly added: "Young madam even went to see the old madam before leaving!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiashu immediately dropped Dadong, turned around and ran towards Mrs. Lu's yard.

Looking at the back of his young master, Dadong couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "Ask what love is in the world, and teach people to promise each other through death..."

"Who made a promise of life and death! Don't talk nonsense!" Daxi heard this and threw a stick at him immediately.

When Lu Jiashu arrived at Mrs. Lu's yard, Mrs. Lu happened to wake up after lunch.She heard about Lu Jiashu's return, and was having a headache about how to tell him about Shu Yunqing. Before she could figure out why, Lu Jiashu had already come to her.

"You're back." Mrs. Lu's eyes dodged somewhat.

Seeing this, Lu Jiashu lifted his clothes and knelt down in front of Madam Lu: "Grandma, you love me the most. Can you tell me where Yun Qing went?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu was slightly taken aback: "Aren't you surprised why Yun Qing ran away from home?"

Lu Jiashu shook his head: "She must have her own reasons, I just want to know where she went. After all, she is a twin now, so I don't worry."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu sighed: "What a crime..."

"When Yun Qing came to say goodbye to me, I also said that she is a twin, so it's better not to be so impulsive. But she has made up her mind. Although I am an elder, I can't hold her back."

"I don't know where she went, and she didn't tell me about this old woman. It's just that she is definitely not in Yangzhou anymore. That day, she asked someone to pack up the best carriage in the mansion, and took off the sign of Lu Mansion. Danan watched, she left Yangzhou and went north."

"Go north?" Could it be to Kyoto?Lu Jiashu was stunned for a moment: "Grandma, can you tell me why Yun Qing left?"

Mrs. Lu paused for a moment, then shook her head: "Jia Shu, there are some things that you better not know."

"No, grandma," Lu Jiashu said with a very serious expression, "I want to know, because Yun Qing is my wife, and because Yun Qing still has my child in her stomach."

"Didn't you always wonder why your father never forced you to take over the family business, but handed everything over to Yun Qing?" Mrs. Lu sighed, "That's because your father is so smart!"

"What do you mean..." Although he knew that Lu Cheng must have something to do with Shu Yunqing's departure, Lu Jiashu didn't understand what it had to do with the business.

"If you have the heart to observe a little more, you will know. The shops that Yun Qing took over have all been transferred to Yun Che's name. When holding dividends, there is no other income."

"This...why?" Lu Jiashu was confused: "Is this related to Yun Qing?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." Mrs. Lu said, and sighed again: "It's all because your father is too greedy, he wants to seize the benefits from the royal family, and at the same time he wants to benefit from Chen Jing. Walking between the two sides, your father is like walking a tightrope, and may lead to the destruction of the entire Lu family at any time. That's why he has made two-handed preparations. In this way, even if things between him and Chen Jing come out in the future, our Lu family will not Not even a trace of blood remains."

Lu Jiashu was dumbfounded.

He always thought that Lu Cheng didn't force himself to accept the family business because he didn't want to, so he didn't force it.

But it never occurred to him that Lu Cheng had no intention of letting himself take over the family business at all!

"Father and Chen Jing, are they really together?" Lu Jiashu asked tremblingly.

Mrs. Lu nodded: "Your father was trusted by His Majesty back then, so he granted us the business of the Lu Family Salt Transport Imperial Merchant. Chen Jing asked someone secretly, and wanted to take your father for his own use. Your father There was no statement at the time, but your mother immediately refused, and then something like that happened."

"Afterwards, your father received Chen Jing's superstition, saying that if you don't cooperate, you will be the next to die. That's why your father got on Chen Jing's boat."

"I thought that what your father did was enough. After all, your mother's death was inseparable from Chen Jing, but who knew that over the years, your father had already forgotten your mother's hatred, and gradually became entangled with Chen Jing. You and I..."

"If it wasn't for Yun Qing's arrival last year, I'm afraid that our Lu family would be destroyed along with Chen Jing now!"

Although Mrs. Lu tried to keep things as simple as possible, Lu Jiashu could still clearly sense the confusion.

Why on earth would his father turn against Chen Jing? Why on earth was this time that Chen Jing was defeated but the Lu family was unscathed?
"Jiashu, are you wondering why Chen Jing's rebellion failed this time, but the Lu family was not implicated?"

After hearing what his grandmother said, Lu Jiashu nodded subconsciously.

Mrs. Lu sighed, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Yun Qing, it's Yun Qing."

Hearing this, Lu Jiashu's eyes suddenly widened: "What?"

"Yunqing has always been protected by grandma's secret guards. She wrote a superstitious letter about your meritorious service in Yantian and sent it to the palace. This is in exchange for the safety of our Lu family. It's just that Your father, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back to Yangzhou."

When Lu Jiashu heard this, he was completely stunned.
