Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Xie Ze hoped that Ah Xin and the old man from the Lu family would sooner sever their ties, but this did not mean that he could tolerate the person he loved being despised again and again. He sneered and said:

"General Lu is really interesting. If I remember correctly, it seems that you are the one who has repeatedly inquired about Ah Xin's residence and wanted to invite Ah Xin to the Lu family, right?

What, you regret it? Do you think my promising Ah Xin is not worthy of your declining Lu family?"

Jiang Xin: “…”

General Lu was so angry that he rolled his eyes. What he couldn't stand the most was people saying that his Lu family was in trouble. He immediately said angrily with a red face, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words!

"I don't need Your Highness to worry about my Lu Mansion. I would like to remind Your Highness not to act recklessly just because of Your Majesty's favor. Be careful that Your Majesty's indulgence will eventually come to an end!"

After all, all the tolerance and kindness that Emperor Kang Yuan showed to Xie Ze was only because of the relationship between Gu Nian and the late crown prince. But now, Xie Ze is getting involved with a man, completely disregarding the face of the late crown prince and the royal family. How long will His Majesty continue to be tolerant of him?

"Besides, my Lu family and the Jiang family have not had any contact for many years, so there is nothing to do with each other. Now I just want to explain it to Your Majesty, and what I said is all true. Why doesn't Your Majesty allow it?"

Xie Ze looked at General Lu coldly and said bluntly: "I didn't stop you. I listen to Ah Xin."

Having said that, Xie Ze turned his gaze to Jiang Xin, as if he could let him make the final decision on everything.

Jiang Xin: “…”

"..." General Lu felt as if he had punched cotton. He couldn't tell whether Xie Ze's words were more irritating or the indifferent attitude between the two men. Seeing that Xie Ze didn't want to pay attention to him, he had no choice but to look at Jiang Xin and said coldly, suppressing his anger:

"I have sent people to invite Lord Jiang several times, but Lord Jiang has never responded. I guess he doesn't think highly of a relative like my Lu family. In that case, how about going with me?"

Although Jiang Xin didn't understand what General Lu had said to His Majesty that was so wrong that he was so nervous that he had to take him over to clear himself of the matter, he didn't intend to embarrass him, so he nodded and said, "I have nothing to do now, so you can follow the general to meet His Majesty."

The affair between him and His Highness has long been known to everyone. Apart from that, there seems to be nothing to be afraid of His Majesty finding out, nor does he need to worry about the other party having other intentions.

General Lu had been rebuked by Xie Ze so many times, and now seeing Jiang Xin being so easy to talk to, he was a little unresponsive for a while. He was stunned for a while before he quickly continued, "Then let's go now without further delay."

Xie Ze was really difficult to deal with, and he didn't want to deal with him anymore.

Xie Ze stood up with a cold face, took Jiang Xin's hand and said lightly: "I will go together."

He didn't believe that the old man who came here in a hurry to bring Ah Xin to the imperial court was really as simple as he said. In order to prevent Ah Xin from being wronged when he was unaware, he naturally had to follow.

"..." General Lu's face darkened, but when he saw that Jiang Xin did not refute, he could not think of any good reason to refuse, so he had to agree with frustration.

So, General Lu, who had just arrived at the palace, hurriedly took the palace's carriage with the two men to the palace. Madam Lu and her children and grandchildren, who arrived late, only had time to see the rear wheels of the carriage...

"Grandma, let's catch up!" The Lu family wasted some time on the road, but they asked a few passers-by and specifically inquired about what happened to Xie Ze and Jiang Xin.

Contrary to what they imagined, the people of the capital did not criticize the relationship between the two. Instead, they were quite envious and appreciative. When they mentioned Jiang Xin, they did not look down on him, but instead praised and complimented him.

After all, Jiang Xin actually developed the Liuli and Tianji crossbows. It was said that the first batch of Tianji crossbows had been put into use by the Southern Territory Army. This was a real achievement and would not be erased because of the private affairs between him and Xie Ze.

Not only that, Madam Lu also learned from the people that although Emperor Kang Yuan did not give Jiang Xin much reward, he still gave Jiang Xin a house even though he knew that he was entangled with King Xian. In fact, this was a signal.

This means that Emperor Kang Yuan did not vent his anger on Jiang Xin, nor did he intend to punish Jiang Xin for it.

In this case, their master was so anxious to send Jiang Xin to the palace for punishment, and was so eager to cut off ties with Jiang Xin. What would Emperor Kang Yuan think if he knew about this? How would he view their Lu family?

As soon as the Lu family thought of this, they felt dizzy and wished they could run over and stop the carriage.

However, just when Madam Lu asked them to quickly find horses and ride to chase after the people, Lu Wenguang stopped, turned around and looked at his mother, and said coldly:

"Mother, forget it."

Lu Jianye frowned and said anxiously: "Dad, what are you talking about?!"

If grandpa really let him go, not only would the Lu family lose such a great helper like Jiang Xin, but their grandpa would also be disliked by Emperor Kang Yuan. How would their family be granted a title then? !

Lu Wenguang glanced at his son coldly and said indifferently: "Jiang Xin has never received any favor from our family. Now, let father use this misunderstanding to completely distance himself from Jiang Xin. Jiang Xin can also have one less burden. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Madam Lu was stunned when she heard this, but Lu Jianye insisted, "Dad, you are crazy! Why should I let the Lu family be that kid's stepping stone? It was obviously he who did such a shameless thing first, so grandfather misunderstood!

If we go to the palace and make a scene today, my grandfather and the Lu family’s future will be ruined and that kid will get something for nothing. Why? ! "

"Shut up!" Lu Wenguang pulled Lu Jianye and looked at Madam Lu, saying calmly, "Mom, after so many years, father doesn't remember how my younger sister married Jiang Zhengchu. Have you forgotten it too?"

Mrs. Lu burst into tears, looking at her child, unable to say a word. She felt guilty towards her daughter and her grandson...

"Let my little sister rest in peace." Lu Wenguang looked at the carriage that had long disappeared with an indifferent expression.

If my father had not forced my younger sister to marry my cousin to cover up the family scandal, my younger sister would not have hastily married Jiang Zhengchu, whom she happened to have just met, and she would not have lost her life so early.

Over the years, it is better to say that General Lu was indifferent than to say that he deliberately ignored the death of my younger sister and the existence of the Jiang family's child. He was unwilling to admit that it was his own dictatorship and despotism that killed my younger sister and my second brother...

"Dad, grandma..." Lu Jianming looked at them anxiously and called out in a low voice.

After a long while, Mrs. Lu finally wiped the tears from her face, turned her back, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back home."

"No! Grandma, you are going to destroy the Lu family, destroy the Lu family!" Lu Jianye roared unwillingly, but was dragged away from Prince Xian's Mansion by Lu Wenguang.

"..."

The end of the year is approaching, and Emperor Kang Yuan has been increasingly busy lately. He has to review memorials from all over the country, go over the rules of the sacrificial ceremonies, and personally review the contents of the second issue of the "Capital Monthly".

The busier you are, the worse your mood will be.

At this time, any discerning minister would not rush to offend Emperor Kang Yuan unless it was something important.

Therefore, when Emperor Kang Yuan heard General Lu wanted to see him, he really thought he had something important to tell him, but...

"You came here to see me just to clarify with me what happened last time when I asked you what you thought about Xie Ze and Jiang Xin. You misunderstood my meaning and said the wrong thing?" Emperor Kang Yuan looked incredulous.

He was just chatting with General Lu last time. What was the meaning? How could there be a misunderstanding? Was it necessary for General Lu to come all the way here to explain?

However, General Lu knelt on the ground, looking extremely terrified, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I didn't know that these two people had done such a thing that went against human ethics at that time, so I thought it was a good thing that Jiang Xin was favored by Your Majesty. Now I know that these two people are actually like this, so...

This person has no sense of shame and is extremely treasonous! I will bring this evil creature to your majesty today and sever all ties with him. Please punish him and restore the reputation of my Lu family!"
