The men of the Lu family were all so outstanding. The Lu family had four sons. One died early on the battlefield. The other two were still stationed at the border. The second son of the Lu family had three sons. The eldest was in the ministry, and the second was studying. Only the troublesome third had his legs broken by Kang Xiaoqiao's schoolmates.
Then, only Lu Yichen and his family were left. Lu Yichen had gone to the ministry early. Moreover, Lu Wei had made great contributions to the military and was ranked in an important position. It could be said that the Lu family was really full of generals and talents. This was not even counting the side branch of the Lu family.
It was said that it was good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Such a prosperous family did not even need to wave the willow branches, and many people would come upon hearing the news.
Everyone squeezed their heads and wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. This had already become a legend in the capital.
Therefore, the Lu family did not worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law of the Lu family could be chosen at will. This also caused the status of the daughter-in-law to not be high. Moreover, all the men in the family were filial.
As soon as Lu Yichen finished speaking, the old lady and the others were still in shock. Lu Wei immediately stood up and slammed the table hard. Pa! Kacha--
A crack appeared on the table, and then he shouted angrily, "You little brat, are you trying to rebel?"
"How can you talk to your elders? That's your grandmother, your grandmother! You unfilial grandson, I'll beat you to death--"
However, just as he stretched out his hand, the woman called Xiulian beside him hugged him and shouted nervously and anxiously, "Brother Wei, Brother Wei, Yichen has just returned. If you have something to say, say it properly. If you have something to say, then say it properly--"
However, before she could finish speaking, Lu Wei shook his arm hard, and Wang Xiulian was thrown out. Bang! She fell to the ground.
Lu Wei frowned and stopped. With a look of disgust, he said, "What are you doing?"
Wang Xiulian's eyes were full of tears. Before she could get up, she heard two young voices from the door. "Mom--"
Then, a 16-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl quickly ran over and gently helped Wang Xiulian up.
Their tone was full of concern as they said, "Mom, are you okay?"
The boy and the little girl could only be considered pretty, but their eyes were filled with anger. The boy glared at Lu Wei and said, "Dad, what did my mom do wrong? Are you going to treat her like this?"
The young man had just finished asking when she saw the young lady who had already helped Wang Xiulian up. She said angrily, "What else could it be? Isn't it all because of him?"
After she said that, she pointed a finger at Lu Yichen. Her face was filled with disgust and grievance as she said, "Every time he comes back, there's never a moment of peace in the house. Every time, it's my mother who gets wronged. How did my mother let you down?"
Just as the young lady finished shouting, Wang Xiulian's face turned pale. She grabbed the young lady's hand and shouted, "Juan Juan, shut up!"
"Quick, quickly apologize to big brother."
The little girl who was called Juan Juan said stubbornly, "No, why should I apologize? It's clearly him, it's clearly him who's in the wrong--"
As she said that, her tears fell down. When everyone saw this, they all looked at Lu Yichen. Meanwhile, behind Lu Yichen, Kang Xiaoqiao's heart was pulled up fiercely, and her face was also very pale.
However, Lu Yichen, who was in front of her, was like a pine tree that would never fall. He still stood straight and did not shake at all. However, Kang Xiaoqiao clearly felt it. It was sad.
Although it was just a trace of emotion, Kang Xiaoqiao felt it. Not only did she feel a little heartache, but she also looked at the big family. Kang Xiaoqiao's hand that was being held moved, and then her other small hand was also placed on it.
Lu Yichen's originally cold face paused for a moment. He looked at his hand, then looked at Kang Xiaoqiao beside him. He saw that she was still as beautiful and dazzling as before.
He had thought that he would see anger, hatred, or alienation in Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes. However, at this moment, all he saw was warmth and worry. What was this silly girl thinking?
Was he, Lu Yichen, so easily defeated?
Hence, he gave her a comforting look. He turned around and did not even look at the siblings. Instead, he said to Lu Wei, "Compared to what she said to my mother, my words are already very polite."
After saying this, he looked at the people around him and said, "I'll repeat it again. Kang Xiaoqiao is the daughter-in-law that I, Lu Yichen, married. She is not the daughter-in-law that the Lu family married. Therefore, the rules of the Lu Family should not be applied to her, because the two of you do not have the qualifications."
Then, he looked at Lu Wei with contempt and said, "Back then, you couldn't protect your own wife because you were incompetent. I, Lu Yichen, will never be like you in this lifetime."
After saying that, he looked at him coldly and took Kang Xiaoqiao's hand. Then, he turned around and left, completely ignoring the people who had exploded.
Lu Wei was so angry that veins were popping out of his head. He wanted to rush up and give Lu Yichen a good beating. Meanwhile, Wang Xiulian hugged Lu Wei's arm tightly. Coincidentally, the old lady was so angry that she fell into the armchair.
The whole family was in a mess again.
Kang Xiaoqiao was led out of the Lu family's gate by Lu Yichen. Then, he quickly came to a car, stuffed Kang Xiaoqiao into the car, turned around and drove away.
Many onlookers who were sitting in the pavilion witnessed all of this.
"Oh my, Oh my, oh my, the little tyrant of the Lu family is back?"
"Yes, I saw him running back in a hurry. Is he afraid that his wife will be bullied?"
"Tsk, forget it. The men of the Lu family are good, but the stupid filial piety is hopeless."
"That's right. Whose daughter would be so unlucky to marry into the family?"
"Forget it. Even if you want to be unlucky, you have to be able to join in. There are so many people who want to be unlucky. You can just make sarcastic remarks, haha--"
...
These neighbors did not know what had happened to the Lu family, or rather, they did not know the exact situation of the Lu family. All they knew was which daughter-in-law of the Lu family was punished again and which daughter-in-law was reprimanded again.
It was lively and lively, and everyone was talking about women's matters. However, the men of the Lu family rarely discussed anything in the ministry.
For example, the eldest son of the Lu family's eldest son had been transferred back to the capital. The second son was already able to hold his own in Xinjiang. He held a heavy fist and was deeply trusted by the government.
The eldest son of the second son was not bad either. At such a young age, he was even more courageous and invincible in the northwest. Now, he had a tiger and wolf division in his hands, as well as other male members of the Lu family's collateral family. Each of them was a backbone.
It was as if no one could see it. They could only see all kinds of new things happening to the women of the Lu family in the capital. There was also news about the prodigal son of the Lu family.
From this point of view, the Lu family was indeed not simple. Of course, the growth of every family had its own characteristics that could not be ignored.
