The Fourth Prince suddenly came to the Lu family, and everyone in the Lu family was quite surprised. But what was even more shocking was the black-armored guards following him, wearing grim armor and walking with heavy steps.
Facing the people with swords and knives approaching the door, the Lu family's doorman turned pale. Lu Chongyuan and others who hurried to the front yard were also shocked.
Lu Qin looked at the black-armored guards who had almost surrounded the entire front yard, and suddenly remembered the day when Lu Zhao was taken away.
It was the same situation. The black-armored guards suddenly surrounded the mansion, and the eunuch Xiao Yan led his men into the mansion and slashed him between the legs with a sword.
Lu Qin had never lost such a big person in his life. Not only did he lose control of his bladder in public, he was also seen by all the people from the aristocratic families. The sword became the biggest shadow in his heart. Although it clearly did not hit the vital parts, he could no longer have sex after that day.
No matter if it was his former beloved aunt or his attentive and considerate wife, he was affectionate in bed but showed no reaction when the passion reached its peak. Facing his concubine with a blushing face and his wife with a strange look, he always fled in embarrassment. Later, he could only hide in the study and pretend to be busy.
Seeing the situation that day reappear, Lu Qin was the first to shout angrily: "Fourth Prince, what do you want to do by bringing people to the Lu family?!"
The fourth prince said, "I am here on the orders of my father to thoroughly investigate the case of Prince Cheng's collusion with the Lu family."
After hearing his words, Lu Chongyuan was filled with shock and anger. He never expected that the Fourth Prince would actually come to investigate this matter, and he was so ruthless as to bring Xiao Yan's men straight into the Lu family.
His face was solemn, and his old eyes were frosted: "Your Highness, do you know what you are talking about?"
"The Lu family has never been disloyal, and His Majesty has not issued a decree on the matter of Prince Cheng. The Lu family is your mother's family, and they are blood relatives. Your Highness actually brought these people to investigate the Lu family?!"
Lu Chongyuan's voice was cold and angry, and he almost asked the Fourth Prince if he was crazy.
The Fourth Prince couldn't help but shudder when he saw his grandfather's cold eyes. In fact, his grandfather had always been too powerful in his heart.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was actually showing a look of fear, Canglang could not help but sneer silently. How could he dream of getting the throne even with such a cowardly look?
"Lu Zhongshu doesn't need to use blood relationship to threaten the Fourth Prince. He does have Lu family blood in his body, but he is also a descendant of the royal family and the grandson of the emperor. Lu Zhongshu has been in the court for many years. Could he not even understand the difference between the monarch and his subjects?"
Canglang took a half step forward and stood beside the Fourth Prince: "Since Your Highness dared to bring people to the Lu family today, it must be approved by His Majesty. Prince Cheng colluded with the Lu family, smuggled banned items, bribed officials in the court, and colluded with the Ministry of War to hide weapons and station troops. Which of these is not a capital crime?"
After hearing Canglang's words, the Fourth Prince thought of his father's attitude towards the Lu family and what the Lu family had done to him, and he became more confident.
"Grandfather, I don't want to believe that the Lu family is colluding with Prince Cheng, but all the evidence points to the Lu family."
The fourth prince glanced at Lu Chongyuan, who was filled with shock and anger. "It's fine that the Lu family helped Prince Cheng with smuggling and hoarding military equipment, but someone in the Lu family actually dared to commit adultery with Prince Cheng for many years, and replaced the son of Prince Cheng's wife with a son to confuse the royal bloodline."
"My father was extremely angry and ordered me to bring people to arrest and interrogate him. I didn't want to come here, but the Lu family is really..."
He couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke, his face full of an indescribable expression.
The Fourth Prince's words were like a bucket of cold water poured into boiling hot oil. The indignant people in the Lu family suddenly had their heads buzzing. The women of the Lu family who came with them, especially the unmarried girls and their mothers, turned pale.
Adultery?
Stealing a dragon and switching a phoenix? !
"You farted!!!"
A young man beside Lu Qin blushed instantly. He was the fourth son of the Lu family and the legitimate son of the second wife. Upon hearing the words of the fourth prince, he angrily cursed:
"Xie Guangzheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Our Lu family has very strict family education, and the girls in our house have always been chaste. How could they do such a shameless thing?!"
The elder brother of the Lu family, who was a little older and looked like a young man, standing beside him, also spoke calmly: "Fourth Prince, please don't speak nonsense. The Lu family has existed for 200 years. Although we can't say that everyone is upright, the girls in the mansion are all pure and honest and value their reputation. No one would do such a thing with Prince Cheng."
He is not the biological son of Lu Chongyuan's lineage. In fact, he is only a cousin of this lineage. Because his grandfather died early and his parents also died, he was raised by his great-uncle.
Lu Chongyuan had never treated him harshly and allowed him to make progress, but he could feel that Lu Chongyuan deliberately suppressed him in certain matters and did not allow him to surpass his grandson. He had never thought of letting him inherit the Lu family. Although he was dissatisfied with Lu Chongyuan, what the Fourth Prince said was related to the reputation of all the women in the Lu family.
The eldest son of the Lu family said in a deep voice: "Please be careful with your words, Fourth Prince!"
The fourth prince said: "Everything I said was confessed by Prince Cheng himself. My grandfather and uncle must be very clear about the methods of the Criminal Department. Prince Cheng said that Xie Yin is the blood of the Lu family. The person hidden by the Lu family is someone who has known him for many years. Not only that, he hid his true bloodline in the Lu family's legitimate child many years ago..."
It was just speculation, but the Fourth Prince spoke with certainty. His confident look made Lu Chongyuan's face turn pale.
He may not care about other things, but the eldest son of the Lu family...
"Impossible!" Lu Qin said coldly, "Father, don't listen to his nonsense. How can the Lu family bloodline be mixed up so easily?!"
Canglang laughed when he heard that, holding his sword in his arms, he said nonchalantly, "That may not be the case. They are both babies, but they will not have your Lu family's surname engraved on their foreheads when they are born. Little Master Lu, I dare to guarantee that if you throw a bunch of children in front of you, can you tell which one is your biological son?"
His sarcastic remark made Lu Qin and the young man beside him turn pale, and the fourth son of the Lu family was so angry that he started cursing.
Canglang turned a deaf ear to him and turned to look at the Fourth Prince: "Your Highness, His Majesty is still waiting for your reply in the palace. Since you promised His Majesty to come and investigate in person, there is no need to waste time talking to the Lu family."
"Prince Cheng still has the letters and gifts that the man gave him. I think he also gave a lot to the woman. All the respectable women of the Lu family are here, except for those under 30 who are not old enough to have children with Prince Cheng, and those over 50 who are too old for Prince Cheng to look down on. As for the rest, just order someone to search them as you said when I came."
He looked at the women of the Lu family whose faces had suddenly turned pale, and spoke slowly.
"You came unexpectedly today, and the Lu family was caught off guard. The adulterer probably doesn't know that Prince Cheng has exposed her. As long as we compare the items in Prince Cheng's hand and find the same engagement items or letters, the Lu family will not be able to deny it."
Lu Chongyuan originally thought that it was that bastard Xiao Yan who deliberately framed the Fourth Prince, and that the Fourth Prince was fooled into coming here. However, after listening to Canglang's words and looking at the expression on the Fourth Prince's face, his heart suddenly turned cold.
