But after not seeing each other for a year, Madam Zhong was so excited. Xu Yi was speechless. Seeing this scene, he was a little worried that he could not perform well Zhong Ruyi. This cheap mother is really too clingy. During the more than a year since he stayed at the Southern Pole Sect, every time Jiang Xiao came, he would bring all kinds of daily necessities sent by Madam of Duke of Lu State.
Obviously, in Madam of Duke of Lu State's eyes, Zhong Ruyi was not a monk who had shed his mortal body, but just her only son. Sure enough, after Madam of Duke of Lu State woke up, she grabbed his hand and refused to let go, and kept talking, as if she wanted to make up for what she had not said this year.
Especially after hearing that Zhong Ruyi had achieved Life Wheel Realm, Madam of Duke of Lu State excitedly shouted the Buddha's name, and repeatedly lamented that the ancestors of the Zhong family were virtuous. Finally, I want to comfort Xu Yi, don't worry about whether it is a waste of life or not, as long as he can inherit the position of Duke of the State, he will marry a girl from the Luo family in the future, and live a good life.
Obviously, the news of his achievement Second Realm of Life Wheel was not sent back, and the Duke of Lu State family received the last wave of news. Xu Yi patiently accompanied Madam of Duke of Lu State. The feeling in his heart was very complicated. He couldn't help but think of the dead Zhong Ruyi. No matter what, he always cared about his mother.
Finally, it wasn't until Mrs. Duke of the State's personal maid Yuanyang came to report that the banquet had been arranged and Duke of the State's guard of honor had passed South Street, Madam of Duke of Lu State released Zhong Ruyi's hand and ordered the maid to lead Zhong Ruyi to change clothes and prepare to welcome the master.
After half a stick of incense, Xu Yi saw Duke of Lu State Zhong Lin. He was in his forties, with tall eyebrows. He had held military power for many years and was very powerful. Seeing Xu Yi, he was far less excited than Madam Zhong. He just looked at him deeply, waved to him to get up, and then went back to the backyard to change clothes.
Afterwards, everyone went to the Huarong Hall, where more than ten banquets had been held. This time Zhong Ruyi returned and Madam Zhong held a banquet for the clan members. Secretly, he wanted to announce to the clan that his son Zhong Ruyi had become Life Wheel Realm and was the legitimate heir to Duke of Lu State.
Xu Yi kept drinking during the whole banquet. Either Madam Zhong led him to toast to the elders of the clan, or some of his peers came to get close to him and toasted to him. He drank until the glass was dry, but he was still reserved in his words. He always felt that Duke of Lu State was not very close to him.
However, in Dong Chao's notes, it seems to be recorded that Duke of Lu State has always been strict with Zhong Ruyi and rarely gets close to him. Suddenly, with a loud noise, Huarong Hall's door fell off and hit the ground hard. A figure strode over. The man was in his thirties and looked somewhat similar to Duke of Lu State.
Xu Yi thought about it and immediately guessed who it was. It was probably Duke of Lu State Zhong Lin's concubine's younger brother Zhong Shu. The military merit title was Earl of Loyalty and Valor, but the relationship with Zhong Lin has never been good. Although the two families are close relatives, they rarely move around. Today Zhong Shu came to the door with great fanfare, obviously there is a story.
"Brother, my uncles are well. I heard that Ruyi has returned from his studies. Although I, as an uncle, have not been invited, I come to ask for a glass of water and wine. The amount will not be annoying." With that, Zhong Shu carelessly picked up a chair, placed it on the main table, and sat down.
Zhong Lin looked stern and said in a deep voice, "Ruyi won't you Second Uncle pour some wine?" Xu Yi frowned slightly, Zhong Shu laughed, "I won't drink the wine my son pours, so why don't I let my sister-in-law serve me the wine? Eighteen years ago, my sister-in-law Jade Body of Qiongfang's name overshadowed the entire Fanyang."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent. Madam Zhong's pretty face turned pale. Zhong Lin said coldly, "Second Brother, what's the matter with you? Let's talk about it another day.", I won't treat you to this glass of water and wine. It's a farewell!" Head Butler quickly stepped forward and bowed to Zhong Shu, "Second Master, please."
With a snap, Zhong Shu slapped Head Butler loudly, and flew Head Butler away, "You blind slave. Anyway, since Big Brother doesn't want to invite me to drink, let's talk about it. I think my father's title should be returned to its original owner."
The whole place was in an uproar. Two elders of the Zhong family pointed at Zhong Shu and scolded them bitterly. Zhong Shu glared at murderous intent, and the two elders fell into silence. Zhong Shu sneered, "Back then, Big Brother's talent was not as good as mine. It was just because my father was partial, Big Brother got it." How many resources did it take to cultivate the Wheel of Life? On the other hand, I became Life Wheel Realm without using any resources at home. Now it is only a matter of time before I reach the second realm. But you, Big Brother, mistakenly left Mount Langya during the battle against Chu. Almost all thirty thousand Longhu Army were wiped out. I was also seriously injured. Now my realm has fallen from the second realm to the first."
"It is impossible to make progress in this life. Although your Zhong Ruyi son was lucky enough to achieve the realm of the Life Wheel, but who doesn't know that he is Stone Infant Transformation Wheel, he is almost a useless person. If he gets the title of Duke of Lu State, he is just lingering. If you have the slightest thought for Lineage, then It's time to give up this Duke of Lu State position to me. Then, wouldn't it be good for you to wander around the forest, take your newly adopted beautiful concubine, and your newborn baby, and live a life like a fairy? As for my wife, Big Brother, since you are ruthless to her, why don't you help me take care of her? If she hadn't been that old thief, she should have been Big Brother's brother-in-law."
Zhong Shu clearly identified the critical moment when the Zhong Family Banquet wanted to determine the overall situation, and came to cause trouble, but no one expected that he would be so bold, directly showing his minions to Duke of Lu State, and also revealed many inside stories that no one knew.
Is the head of the family really guilty? This is not important. The most terrifying thing is that if the head of the family really falls, it will shake the foundation of the title Duke of Lu State. The big tree will fall, and the flowers and plants growing on the leaves, how can they not worry?
"Zhong Shu, if you retreat now, I won't hold you accountable." Zhong Lin sat still, his eyes extremely cold, "If we continue to entangle you, your name will not be included in the genealogy."
Zhong Shu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Zhong Lin, you really think I care about that shabby book, Duke of Lu State's seat, if it hadn't been left by my father, do you think I would care about it? You are clinging to your laurels and reluctant to part with them. You haven't thought about why you Could it be that Mount Langya was taken away by mistake, how did thirty thousand Longhu Army die? You idiot, you were lucky enough to save a life, and you still don't know how to repent, and you are still holding on. Hey, it's not a pity that you died, but if the title of Duke of Lu State is gone, I won't be able to see my late father."
Zhong Lin felt as if he was struck by lightning. The eyes that stared at Zhong Shu suddenly overflowed with blood, and the whole body was full of chaos. Suddenly, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body fell softly. There was chaos in the field, and Zhong Shu shouted coldly, "Why are you panic? As long as I am here, the Zhong family will not fall. You should all go back to your places."
With that said, Zhong Shu walked up to Madam Zhong and stared at her with lust in his eyes, "Shiya, your hard life is over. Soon, the Zhong family will change its owner. Please let go." "Xin, I'm not as useless as Zhong Lin. Seeing that your son is dying, you should have a baby as soon as possible. I only want you, come, let's drink..." As he said this, he actually reached out to hug Madam Zhong's slender waist.
