"She caused my son to be separated from me for so many years, and she caused my own grandson to hate me to the bone--"
"She may be dead, but she has caused all the living to sink into pain."
"Third brother, your mother is old. I don't know when she will go to see your father. Perhaps you also blame me for forcing you to marry Xiulian back then and giving birth to two children. I was unable to fulfill your unwavering loyalty."
"But, I am your mother. How can I bear to see my son grow old alone? As the pillar of the Lu family, how can you fall into a love affair and not know how to advance? Then, wouldn't your two brothers have died in vain?"
Lu Wei slowly lowered his head. All kinds of complicated emotions flashed through his eyes, and his body was shrouded in a layer of sadness.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "I think the eldest daughter-in-law's suggestion is reasonable. Yiyang is still too young, and his health is not very good. Yichen is your only heir, so you have to keep your heart in check. I am old, so I can't care about unnecessary things. After coming here for a few more times, my old bones will probably be broken."
"Go back and think about it. I'm tired."
When Lu Wei came out of the old lady's room, his entire body was in a dejected state. It had to be said that the old lady's strategy to defeat the enemy was really used as if fire was pure and light.
No matter what, if a mother wanted to deal with her son, there were literally 10,000 ways, especially for a son who valued friendship and loyalty.
At the door, Wang Xiulian cautiously said, "Brother Wei..."
Lu Wei said with a dejected face, "I won't be coming back for dinner today."
Then, he turned around and left. He didn't leave a single expression on her face. Wang Xiulian was already used to this. At the same time, she knew where Lu Wei was going.
She looked coldly at the tall and imposing figure's back and then clenched her fists. All of this happened in a moment. No one could tell that she was a timid little wife.
At this moment, the old lady was staring at the painting without blinking. A fierce look flashed through her eyes.
How old was Lu Yichen at that time? Look, look at what was drawn in the painting?
The black sky was filled with skeletons, and a little boy was holding a huge sword...
Did he think that he was that skeleton and wanted to kill her with a sword?
Hmph, the Xia family, damn the Xia family. If it wasn't for the old man of the Xia family being nosy, how would this little brat dare to show off in front of her?
He had grown up, and his wings had hardened?
The old lady's withered eyes gave out a vicious look.
...
The cemetery was as quiet as usual.
Lu Wei brought a bunch of flowers and placed them neatly in front of Xia Yu's tombstone. He then sat down cross-legged and took out a bottle of Erguotou. As he drank, he muttered, "Ah Yu--"
Then, he said sadly, "Ah Yu, it's all my fault, it's all my fault--"
"Ha, you've been gone for so many years, I didn't think that she would still not want to let you off--"
Lu Wei was not a fool. Even if he did not know at the time, he had come to understand that every day was as torturous as a year.
His Ah Yu, what a beautiful woman!
How could a gentle and kind-hearted woman who was afraid of scaring others by speaking loudly do such a dirty thing?
It was just a sin that he wanted to add to the list.
He had let Ah Yu down. It was his fault. When that happy and shy little girl married him, she was filled with joy and happiness. However, after a few years, she slowly withered like a beautiful flower.
He really should not have let her return to the Lu family. It was his fault.
The old lady was right. Xia Yu was not suitable to be a mistress. So many things had happened that year. The entire Lu family seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud and could be destroyed at any time.
As the only son of the Lu family, he had no choice but to risk his life to charge into the front line and use military merits to stabilize the survival foundation of the family.
He listened to his mother's words and entrusted Xia Yu to her. She was pure and kind. She was indeed not suitable to be a mistress. However, this should not be a reason for her to die.
What did she do wrong? What did she do wrong? Did she have to put her to death?
What stealing? Ha, he would never believe that such a good woman like her would cheat on him.
His own mother, he knew that the reason why Ah Yu committed suicide was because of her.
Ah Yu had been pampered and raised at home since she was young. The Xia family only had such a precious daughter, how could she have suffered any grievances? But what about the Lu family?
They stood outside and let others point at them. If they said something wrong, they would be punished by kneeling and apologizing. Everyone in the family watched and just knelt there.
There was no love between sisters-in-law. Other than fighting each other, there was bullying and scheming. What did such a weak girl like her suffer when she was not by his side?
When he went back, she did not mention a single word. All the suffering was silently endured by herself. However, the blow of being caught cheating was her last straw. Such a young life was gone just like that.
Yes, compared to other women, Ah Yu was not strong enough. Her weak shoulders could not withstand all the blows.
However, in order to not distract herself, she had to bear all of this herself. Cheating? Hehe, if such a reputation were to spread, how would she face others?
A single spit from one person could drown her. Yes, perhaps under the protection of the old lady, she could survive. However, if she were to live a life without dignity and constantly bring shame to her husband and children, she would rather die.
So, she died--
And the culprit was his biological mother--
Lu Wei took another big gulp of wine. Such a strong man, tears fell like rain, crying like a child.
He gently caressed the name on the tombstone and said with a choked voice, "Ah Yu, tell me, is she really my biological mother?"
"How can there be such a vicious mother in this world? Big brother is still lying on the bed, dead like a zombie. Second brother is directly buried in the ground, and I--"
"And I ended up with my family destroyed. Why does she have such a vicious heart? Ah Yu--"
"I'm sorry, I can't send her to accompany you now. I've been following this line for many years, and I'll be able to stop very soon. You have to bear with it, be good, and bear with it. Very soon, you'll be able to send these people to accompany you."
Lu Wei spoke with deep affection, and his face was hideous and terrifying. These people who had suffered a thousand cuts should all go to hell, go to hell.
And his mother, his mother--
Should be torn to pieces, torn to pieces. In the past, she might not have been able to control herself. She might have had many reasons, but she should never have caused the death of his father, brothers, and even his Ah Yu--
