Sheng Huai’an smiled and replied, “Not only him, to be frank, I also took action.”
“You guys who aid the tyrant! If Zhao Bin commits suicide, not one of you is innocent,” Yao Zining scolded with a smile.
Sun Congyi scoffed at him, “Come on, we don’t believe you didn’t do anything.” Yao Song heard that the conflict between the Xie family and the Zhao family was fierce, and among those who threw stones at Zhao Bin, he was definitely one of them.
As for suicide? If he loves to die, let him die. Isn’t this a hereditary skill of the Zhao family? Zhao Yutan has tried it several times and failed to die. If Zhao Bin can die, it could be considered the ancestors’ intervention?
Wang Shancun was dumbfounded. It turned out that almost all of his brothers took action, and not one of them was innocent.
Looking into each other’s eyes, they were all people who had suffered losses from the Zhao siblings.
It seems that they have been suffering from Zhao Bin for a long time.
It’s just his bad luck to be caught. Wang Shancun felt annoyed.
“It’s okay, we seek revenge in secret, while you seek revenge openly, which is much more straightforward than us,” Sheng Huai’an said.
Wang Shancun thought about apologizing to Lady Zhao today and nodded. Settling scores felt really satisfying!
On the side, Lu Mingzhi was deeply suspicious. Aren’t they treating him like an outsider at all? He clearly remembers that they were not familiar with each other. Isn’t what they are talking about confidential? Is it really okay to disregard his presence like this?
“Mingzhi, did your second sister anticipate this situation a long time ago?” Sheng Huai’an asked, reminding him when he saw his brother feeling smug. However, the way he reminded him was not very friendly, as he loudly mocked himself for being foolish.
Lu Mingzhi didn’t know how to react. Deny it? But that would be unfair to their honesty. Admit it? It doesn’t seem right either. He could only smile foolishly.
The young men looked at each other, and only then did they realize that they had been used as tools. Regardless, they vented their anger, so why not take advantage of it?
“Mingzhi, is your second sister quite formidable?” Sheng Huai’an asked.
At his words, everyone curiously looked at Lu Mingzhi.
“You’re curious about my second sister? But you do know her, why not invite her yourself?” Invite the sisters at home, invite a few more people. Or you can host a snow appreciation banquet or something, isn’t that enough?
Wang Shancun and the others shook their heads quickly. They didn’t dare. The second sister of the Lu family was no longer at their level. At least their family’s direct elder brother was qualified to deal with her, and it had to be the outstanding few.
Lu Mingzhi finally understood. So, their invitation to him was a second choice? He felt bitter, but he didn’t dare to object.
“Mingzhi, what’s with that expression? Do you despise us? I can ask my eldest brother to play with you,” Sheng Huai’an came over and joked as he put his arm around him.
His eldest brother? Sheng Tianhua? Lu Mingzhi quickly shook his head, refusing.
“That’s settled then, we’re all insignificant, so let’s not look down on each other,” Sun Congyi grabbed a handful of dried fruits from the plate on the table and gave some to him.
Lu Mingzhi instinctively took it, thinking that made sense.
Talking about Lu Songli, they inevitably mentioned, “Your second sister has changed a lot.”
Some had thought about things like demons possessing bodies or reincarnation, but if the character in the book suddenly became clever, strange things would always happen around them. However, Lu Songli had only become smarter, and they couldn’t rule out that she had been hiding her talents before. After all, Lu Desheng was also very smart, like a personal sperm, and the saying “like father, like daughter” was also reasonable, as they all inherited his bloodline. Moreover, apart from being a bit smarter, nothing strange had happened in the Lu family. Lu Songli herself went out normally, visited relatives, and so on, without avoiding anyone or any place. Most importantly, which demon from the mountains and forests could be so clever?
“It’s all Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan’s fault!” Lu Mingzhi bit down on the nut in his mouth, as if he were biting something else, with a crisp crunch.
Hearing his words, Sheng Huai’an, Wang Shancun, and the others weren’t surprised. Although they were young and hadn’t experienced the bitterness of love, their families all had older siblings. Some people changed their personalities drastically after experiencing emotional setbacks and major changes.
“But my father secretly told me that my second sister may have been hiding her talents before. After discovering that the Xie family intended to break off the engagement, my second sister simply stopped hiding. Later, she was stimulated and became enlightened. My father even said that Xie Zhan had held her back before.”
Sheng Huai’an, Sun Congyi, and the others felt a sense of sympathy. It was the Xie and Zhao families’ fault. They deserved their misfortune. This was also considered retribution for the Zhao family. Well, the Xie family also deserved it. The Xie family got a new fiancée and a formidable opponent, which was truly unfortunate. They never dared to underestimate the vengeful hearts of women. Didn’t Confucius say, “Women and villains are difficult to deal with”? Retribution for both families is yet to come.
After Lu Mingzhi finished speaking, he felt the urge to go to the bathroom, so he asked a servant from the Wang family to take him.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is mindful. After he left, Sheng Huai’an, Yao Zining, and the others couldn’t help but look at each other, then they whispered a few words and reached a strange consensus. That is, to never play with the feelings of the Lu family.
Now that Lu Songli had already been engaged to the Qin family, only Lu Mingzhi was still single in the Lu family. If any of the sisters in the family had their eyes on him, they should treat him well and not play tricks of abandonment after seduction. Although Lu Mingzhi seemed not very intelligent, think about Lu Songli before, wasn’t she also docile and timid? You can’t judge a person by their appearance.
Because of this consensus, Lu Mingzhi later received a sincere love without much trouble.
Next, a group of young men ate, drank, played chess, played dice, and played the “Hua Rong Dao” game. Lu Mingzhi and the others spent a pleasant afternoon at the Wang family’s residence.
The Zhao family had cleared out the backyard, but it was too late, Zhao Bin was beyond saving.
Madam Luo wiped away her tears and packed his belongings for him, sending him away.
After Zhao Bin learned that the Xie family and the Zhao family would not avenge him, and his father had abandoned him, the person he hated the most was no longer Lu Songli, the Lu family, or Qin Sheng and the Qin family. The person he hated the most was his own elder sister, Zhao Yutan. Second was his father, Zhao Wenkuan, who abandoned him first, and finally, his brothers, sisters, and mother.
When Lu Songli received news that the Zhao family had sent Zhao Bin out of Chang’an City to a secluded villa in Lishan for recuperation, she instructed Chen Rong to buy or arrange for one of their people to be by Zhao Bin’s side. In case they might need him someday. There is no such thing as garbage in this world, as long as you categorize them properly, they are treasures that have been misplaced. Look, how kind she is to Zhao Bin. When everyone in his family abandoned him, she still cared about him. She is truly a good person.
