Chapter 378 Bloodline Rumors (2)
At first, they just wanted to remind the world of the existence of these hidden families of the previous dynasty. They wanted to make a splash, but they didn't want to appear too utilitarian. Until someone proposed to teach the "traitor" Ji family a lesson...
Later, someone said that the Su family couldn't be let off either.
Back then, the Ou family and the Su family betrayed each other, and almost no one in the Ou family was left. However, the Su family was still standing strong in Linyue Kingdom after a hundred years. They were even the only family in the previous dynasty that held a high position. Even the Yun family, which had been teaching and educating people for Linyue Kingdom, could not compare to them. How could they bear this humiliation?
After hearing this story, Shen Yu was silent. After a moment, she sneered, "So, the cause of this rumor itself... is it because of jealousy and revenge?"
"……Yes."
It must be said that her favorable impression of these former aristocratic families dropped to the freezing point. She asked again, "So the Ji family's treasure is fake, and it is also fake that you need to combine with the direct bloodline of the Su family to open the treasure?"
"……should be."
Shen Yu, "????Should?"
Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yingxing raised his hand to hold her back. He took two steps forward and asked with a condescending smile, "What about you? Which family are you from?"
Ruilin was shocked, and tried his best to keep his voice calm, "I am just a servant of the Ji family, a small person, the prince does not need to care about me."
After saying this, his back was covered with sweat. He didn't expect that this prince was so perceptive. After listening to these stories, the first question he asked was...
"Sure!" The old man shook his head and motioned him not to ask any more questions.
Lu Yingxing knew what was going on. He was afraid that Ruilin's identity was not simple, but he did not intend to give in. "Madam is pregnant. The palace cannot take in anyone with unknown origins. Grandfather, I cannot risk my wife and children."
Shen Yu gently squeezed his hand, smiled soothingly and said, "Grandfather will bring him to see us, which shows that this man is trustworthy..." She didn't want to create a rift between even his few relatives, so she took the initiative to speak, "We can not ask about his origins, but can grandfather guarantee that no one here can recognize him?"
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Ruilin promised himself, "I, I can go back to the mountain right away. I just hope that the prince can send someone to take care of the old man. I can teach him all the rules step by step."
He knew that the old man was very picky and even his own son was often scolded.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, just stay. How can someone else take care of your family as comfortably as you?"
Lu Yingxing pursed his lips. Although he looked unhappy, he obediently did not speak again.
Old Master Ji was a little dazed when watching this scene. How similar these father and son are... It was the same back then. As long as it was a suggestion made by his daughter, no matter how much he disagreed, he would just choose to support it silently. Alas!
"A rumor has been circulating for hundreds of years, and even the false ones have been spread as true. So how does Grandfather plan to solve this problem?"
They must be hiding something, otherwise why would they feel guilty just now?
Lu Yingxing looked at the two and asked again, "Also, does the Su family know about this? If they faked their death because of this rumor, then what about the Ji family? Are they planning to fake their death again?"
After saying that, he burst out laughing, "Since you knew it was fake, why didn't you deal with the rumor when it first came out?"
He threw out questions one after another, but the two remained silent. Lu Yingxing suddenly had a bad feeling... In fact, if he thought about it carefully, if this matter was really false, would Su Fu have faked his death? Why did the Ji family put themselves in a dilemma of cutting off their descendants?
Lu Yingxing forced himself to calm down, feeling that the answer was about to come out, "The Ji family used to be a lineage of state masters, and they are more proficient in Qimen Dunjia..."
Ruilin opened his eyes wide in disbelief, with turbulent waves surging in his eyes. Why did he know that! ?
In this quiet and subtle moment, the air seemed to freeze, leaving only Ruilin's rapid and weak breathing, echoing in the empty space of thoughts.
Sure enough! Lu Yingxing narrowed his eyes, looked at his grandfather who lowered his head, and spoke with difficulty, "The reason why the Ji family came to Zhuocheng so readily back then, could it be that there was some ulterior motive?"
If it were someone else, they might not be able to discern the grandfather’s expression, but Lu Yingxing had lived with him for a period of time when he was a child, and his grandfather was struggling... It was almost there, almost there.
Although he knew that it was a bit rash to ask for an answer regardless of the consequences, after all, there were some things that one could just not get involved in if one didn't know about them, but he couldn't bear it. His wife was already pregnant, and their child would be the so-called heir of the two families' bloodline. He couldn't afford to take any risks...
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment. Shen Yu saw that the two of them kept their heads down and didn't say anything. She probably thought of something unspeakable, but she suddenly thought of another thing and said, "That's not right, Grandfather. Why aren't you surprised to hear that the Su family faked their deaths? That proves that you also knew about it, right? What about the other families of the previous dynasty? If everyone knew, then what was the point of the Su family faking their deaths? The emperor didn't really want to kill them. It can't be because of the treasure in Yuncheng..."
Mr. Ji suddenly looked up and just looked at her quietly without saying a word, his eyes were deep and difficult to understand.
"Ha, ha, I was just joking... No way..." Shen Yu couldn't even keep up his smile, damn, there really is a treasure!!
Ruilin sighed, "Old sir, I have to explain this to them. I can't just leave them in limbo. What do you think?"
The old man looked at the three of them. He obviously knew that at this point, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so he decided to throw in the towel. He suddenly laughed and started to make tea himself. "It's up to you. It's your family's business anyway. I'm old and can't protect you for much longer... If Ying Xing is willing to take over, that would be great. And with this girl and these two black-hearted people around, maybe you can walk out in public with a clear conscience, hehe..."
Although he seemed to be in a good mood, Shen Yu had a hunch that there was a sinkhole hidden inside, and this Ruilin was the sinkhole! !
But if I tell him, I have to take over? Then things will get serious, so she immediately backed off and joked, "Oh! Why do you make me and Ah Xing look like bad people? Haha, I suddenly remembered that we have something else to do, so we'll leave first!"
After saying that, she pulled Lu Yingxing and tried to go out, but someone held her in his arms. He looked at the young man opposite him without saying a word.
Ruilin's expression was also very solemn. The only family he could trust was the Ji family, but the young master of the Ji family obviously had no plans to have another child. So... when he thought that there would be no one from the Ji family around him in the future, he suddenly felt a chill.
He took a deep breath and spoke his last name for the first time, "My last name is Mu...Mu Ruilin."
