Jing Xingzhi’s Daily Life in Ancient Times

His son had become a younger brother!

Like a thunderbolt hitting his head on a sunny day, Wu Mingrui was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost stumbled to the ground due to his unsteady steps.

After being stabilized by Jing Xingzhi, Wu Mingrui didn’t bother to thank his roommate and looked at his mother, who was speaking at a loss.

Wu Weirui tensed her jaw, tears in her eyes, but her gaze remained firm. Seeing this made Wu Mingrui’s heart feel like a stone was falling, and he couldn’t breathe.

So, Wu Mingrui turned to look at Lu Tianming again.

But he saw that Lu Tianming, the elegant man in the past, could not hide his embarrassment. His usually straight back was now a little bent, his eyes flickered, and he did not dare to look directly at Wu Mingrui.

Wu Mingrui felt as if he had been slapped by Lu Tianming, and asked with trembling lips: “Is it true or false?”

In fact, Wu Mingrui was able to determine the truth and falsehood just by listening to his mother’s words, and he believed in his mother even more.

But before he came back, he at most thought that his wife, Li Yu, was messing around with someone, and his father knew about it and protected that person, so his mother was angry that she kicked his father out of the main courtyard several times without giving him face.

He never thought that the person who cuckolded him would be his biological father…

Without waiting for Lu Tianming to answer, Wu Mingrui wiped his tear-stained face and said in a hoarse voice: “You are really my good biological father!”

Lu Tianming’s heart ached at this questioning. It was not like he had never felt love for Wu Mingrui before. When Wu Mingrui was a child, he also held him in his lap while growing up.

Wu Mingrui was very good, but one thing he wasn’t good and enough to affect all his reputation. Wu Mingrui’s surname wasn’t Lu!

But the current situation was too unfavorable to myself. After feeling guilty, Lu Tianming finally realized the disadvantages of the situation.

Lu Tianming blinked twice quickly and gritted his teeth and said, “Your mother is talking nonsense. Father has never done anything shameless.”

Wu Weirui sneered: “Am I talking nonsense? What nonsense did I say? My sister-in-law is full of nonsense. She got involved and said that you are familiar with the road of love! Shameless things, the whole family is shameless!”

Wu Weirui glanced at Lu Tianming, raised her palm, made a real slap, and ordered: “Chun Cui, go and call that surnamed Li!”

“Yes, Madam.” The eldest maid Chun Cui responded and trotted out.

When Lu Tianming heard Wu Weirui’s instructions to her servants, he began to panic and shouted: “What are you doing? It’s so good to make other people watch!”

Wu Weirui didn’t want to talk to Lu Tianming at all, and sat down with her hands on the table, swallowing a mouthful of saliva and wanting to spit it out of blood.

No one answered him, so Lu Tianming was a little stunned.

He and Li Yu got involved, and it was indeed his sister who set them up. His sister said it would be safer to have another baby. And Wu Mingrui, whose surname was Wu, made him feel like he had been relying on the Wu family to survive.

This was the reason why he both liked and hated Wu Mingrui in his heart. How could his son take the surname Wu? Therefore, he also did not want another Wu surname to be his grandson.

So, he accepted Li Yu who threw herself into his arms and was happy that he had a younger son who did not have the blood of the Wu family.

As for the younger son’s surname being Wu, it would be better to wait until Wu Weirui died. He secretly poisoned Wu Weirui and only affected her hair for now.

When the time came, Wu Mingrui, who had a gentle temperament, wouldn’t be a match for the persuasion of him and Li Yu, and Wu Mingrui could change his name to Lu Mingrui.

But he didn’t expect that Wu Weirui would find out even if he was so careful, which made him worry day and night that Wu Weirui would have a complete attack, so he secretly increased the dosage of Wu Weirui’s medicine.

But he didn’t expect that Wu Mingrui would find out before Wu Weirui went to the west.

Wu Weirui’s only weakness was that this precious son who was loved by many people, and he had no idea of ​​the suffering in the world. He just saw that Wu Weirui was hesitant and in dilemma, finally did not dare to tell Wu Mingrui, so he gradually became bolder and dared to increase the dosage of medicine.

But the current situation was Wu Weirui wants to call the Li Yu, and when the Li Yu came, they would definitely divorce Li Yu back. Li Yu was the biological daughter of the Li family, and he was only a son-in-law.

With Wu Weirui’s methods and ruthlessness, he was afraid that the rest of his life would be miserable.

Lu Tianming’s eyes were confused, and he almost didn’t understand what he was going to do. He originally had a son who was well-educated and well-behaved; he originally lived a good life, after all, he knew that he was not particularly smart.

Finally, he moved his eyes to Wu Weirui, looking at this middle-aged woman who was still beautiful and tight. He knew that this woman would not live long because of him.

Lu Tianming wanted to speak out and tell Wu Weirui that she was poisoned, but Wu Weirui’s sneer made him shut up. Forget it, this woman wouldn’t think he meant well after he said it.

Wu Mingrui stood stupidly, unable to calm down. What happened today was too much of a shock to him. Forget it if it wasn’t just his wife, the child was not his, but actually his biological father’s son.

Wu Mingrui covered his head, feeling so sad that his head was about to explode.

“Ah-” He suddenly yelled a few times and ran outside while shouting.

“Mingrui! Mingrui!” Wu Weirui shouted anxiously, her determined eyes instantly confused. But she was wearing a long skirt and tripped herself before she could run.

Wu Weirui, who was lying on the ground, saw a strange young man running very fast, who was said to be her son’s roommate Jing Xingzhi. She was so anxious that she cried and prayed in her heart that this young man would definitely catch up with her son because there was a small river outside the yard.

The water in the river today could be as high as a person. If he fell, he would probably lose his life!

Lu Tianming was also stunned and shouted in a low voice: “Rui’er…”

But his steps were too heavy and he didn’t take a single step. He watched Wu Mingrui run very fast.

Jing Xingzhi was the first to catch up, but Wu Mingrui was going crazy at this moment. Jing Xingzhi didn’t catch up but chased after Wu Mingrui all the way.

Unlike Wu Weirui who was worried, Wu Mingrui ran towards his yard. He ran so fast that the servants didn’t dare to stop him. They stared blankly at their young master running like crazy, followed by a group of people.

Wu Mingrui ran to Anhe Courtyard where he lived and kicked open the ajar door.

When Jing Xingzhi arrived, Wu Mingrui held the edge of the door and looked at the woman nervously holding a child in a daze.

Jing Xingzhi took a breath, glanced at the woman, patted Wu Mingrui on the shoulder, and reminded him: “Brother Wu, what are you doing here?”

After this reminder, Wu Mingrui remembered that he was here to question Li Yu.

He glanced at Li Yu and asked, “Do you like my father?”

Li Yu looked delicate and virtuous. When she listened to Wu Mingrui’s question, she already knew in her heart that Wu Mingrui knew everything.

But she also had her own difficulties. Li Yu never wanted to marry Wu Mingrui from the beginning to the end. She hugged the child tightly and nodded helplessly: “Yes, I love Lu Lang*.”

[-Lang: an affectionate title for husband]

“Then why do you want to marry me? You are clearly the only daughter in the family, and your parents love you so much. Why would you treat us like this?” Wu Mingrui said, making the doorframe creak with his hands. He stood just one step in front of the threshold but did not go in.

Li Yu lowered her head, raised her eyes to look at Wu Mingrui timidly, her eyes were slightly red and said: “I do this, to get closer to Lu Lang.”

Li Yu knew that she was lost, but before she left the cabinet, she saw Lu Tianming. I saw that the man had a very beautiful smile. He bumped into her when she was lost. He was very gentle to her and even picked flowers and wrote poems with her.

Li Yu started to cry. When she cried, the fat baby in her arms who was eight months old also started to cry.

Wu Mingrui looked at the older one hugging the younger one and crying for a while, then turned around and left without doing anything.

.

As he walked, he talked to Jing Xingzhi: “Xingzhi, what do you think my treatment of her is wrong? I keep myself clean and I never mess around with other women. Every time I come back from abroad, I will remember to give her some gold ingots. What a funny thing. As soon as she married in, the key to the private treasury was also given to her. Since I got married, I have been reading every day, and for whom?”

As Wu Mingrui said, he started to cry in grievance. Occasionally he gasped twice.

Jing Xingzhi rubbed his forehead. He thought Wu Mingrui would be embarrassed, but he didn’t expect that they would start talking like this.

Jing Xingzhi thought for a while and said, “It’s her fault. As a wife, she has to bear this responsibility. You bear the responsibilities of a husband, and she does what a wife should do. Husband and wife are two people working together.”

“But I didn’t do anything wrong. Why do I have to endure such… embarrassment?” Wu Mingrui’s eyes were red, his head drooped, and he looked at Jing Xingzhi with eyes full of confusion.

Jing Xingzhi glanced at him and asked, “Then do you think your mother did anything wrong?”

“Of course, my mother did nothing wrong!” Wu Mingrui thought of his mother and thought that she might be even sadder now. His sadness at Lu Tianming’s cruel treatment of Wu Weirui had been turned into anger.

Wu Mingrui thought about his mother and said, “I’ll go back and see my mother!” His tone was a little anxious.

Jing Xingzhi qualified as a companion and followed Wu Mingrui back to the main courtyard.

But when they arrived at the main courtyard, they found that the hall was in a mess, with maids running around. The eldest maid Chun Cui was kneeling on the ground, covering the bleeding corners of Wu Weirui’s lips while she was lying on the ground.

Lu Tianming’s eyes were distracted. He knew that Wu Weirui was poisoned…
