Chu Ji hesitated, "It's really bad news."
"I know, it's poisoning, right?"
Chu Ji laughed, "I'm sure Yan didn't tell you about this, so it must be Shulou. Does Shulou tell you everything?"
After a brief thought, Lu Jingzhi realized that it was indeed the case, and most of the news she got came from Xu Shulou.
Well, friends share everything.
Chu Ji shook his head, "No, I was three years old then, Yan was a few months older than me, and the poisoning incident happened a few years later."
"That was when Lord Xu passed away."
"Because of his death, Yan's parents had a big fight... My master saw Yan standing there all alone and pitiful, so he left me behind."
Lu Jingzhi asked, "So Lord Xu is Xu Shulou's father?"
"Yes."
"So because of Lord Xu's death, they fought... Could it be that—"
Lu Jingzhi took a sharp breath.
Chu Ji nodded, "Yes."
At the same time, Lu Jingzhi whispered, "Lord Xu was killed by the Emperor?"
