"Just ask,"

Old Madam Lu looked at Lu Minghui with deep and serious eyes and spoke slowly.

"There is nothing we can't talk about between mother and son."

Between mother and son?

When Lu Minghui heard these words, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the depths of his eyes.

If they were really mother and son, they wouldn't have pushed themselves to this point today.

"This matter involves decades of secrets of the Lu family, so it is better to be cautious."

As Lu Minghui spoke, he looked at Li Fang and the others.

"You go out first,"

His gaze turned to Uncle He.

"By the way, please invite Lao He to the front hall for a cup of tea."

The tone of the last few words was deliberately emphasized, as if carrying a different deeper meaning.

Li Fang understood instantly, walked up to Uncle He, and spoke respectfully.

"Uncle He, please come with me to the front hall for tea."

Uncle He stood there without moving, his eyes only on Madam Lu, waiting for her signal.

The only one who can command him is the old lady.

Old Madam Lu had a vague guess about what Lu Minghui was going to say and nodded to Uncle He.

"Let's go out first."

Some things cannot be hidden when the time comes to reveal them.

It’s better to speak out.

He brought a lot of people with him, and I believe that he would not be so foolish as to do anything that would harm others and benefit himself.

Uncle He glanced at Lu Minghui, nodded, and turned to leave.

After Li Fang and Lu Minghui looked at each other, they walked to the man who was standing at the door and had almost no presence, wearing a mask.

"Come on, follow me and make a cup of tea for Uncle He."

The masked man nodded silently, and as he left with Li Fang, he slowly raised the corners of his lips.

"Everyone has left,"

Madam Lu waited until the door was closed again before she spoke slowly.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lu Minghui poured tea for Madam Lu again and handed it to her, looking straight at her with his deep eyes.

"Am I your and father's biological son?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, there was not much surprise on her well-maintained face.

She stroked the cup in her hand, her tone soft and calm.

"Since you asked, you should already have the answer in your mind."

Lu Minghui had known about this for a long time, but it was still a bit difficult to say it in front of Old Madam Lu.

"Since I am not your biological son, how could I be raised by you?"

He was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again his voice was noticeably hoarser.

"I want to know what's going on."

He looked somewhat similar to his father but nothing like his mother, so at first, he thought he was an illegitimate son of his father, the Lu family.

However, the paternity test clearly told him that he had no direct bloodline from the Lu family.

He kept this secret in his heart for more than twenty years and dared not touch it.

It is only today that I can ask it openly.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

"Your biological father is from the side branch of the Lu family. Because he is capable, Ji Zhi brought him to work for us."

Madam Lu took a sip from the cup before she spoke slowly.

"In an accident, he sacrificed himself to save Ji Zhi. At that time, you were still in your mother's belly."

She sighed, looked into the void and slowly recalled what happened in the past.

"After hearing the news, your mother couldn't bear the shock and went into labor early. Fortunately, she had a private doctor to look after her, so both mother and child were safe and sound."

Lu Minghui pursed his lips and said nothing.

"But your mother was unable to get over the shock. Three days after you were born, she left a letter and committed suicide by slitting her wrists."

Madam Lu spoke in a low and slow voice, and no emotion could be heard from her voice.

"In order to repay your father, Ji Zhi accepted you into our family as the eldest son of the Lu family."
