Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 709 - 708: The Bitterness of Coptis

No matter how favored Madam Lu was in her natal family, in this disaster, she was seen as the biggest sinner. Even with Old Lady Lu protecting her, she couldn’t withstand the hatred of others, so, tearfully, she could only follow her son to be sent back to the Zhou family. freewebnoveℓ.com

Lu Daqiang did want to go with Madam Lu to ask for the truth and understand the situation, but the injury on his body was quite serious, and he was not in a good condition to move. The Eldest Sister-in-law Lu didn’t allow him to go either.

"They are just home-wreckers, nothing good comes from encountering them. What’s the point in going?" the Eldest Sister-in-law Lu said, "Even if we knew, what could we do about it?"

"I’m going to fight it out with her, everyone loses!" Lu San said, huffing and puffing with anger.

And Old Lady Lu, she was crying and scolding non-stop, cursing Heaven, cursing the Zhou family, cursing Wufu.

"Old Three, stop right there!" Lu Da shouted at him, "Do you have any evidence that it was their doing?"

"But everyone says..."

"That’s all conjecture," Lu Da said coldly, "Even if it weren’t just conjecture, if it were actually true, what do we have to take up arms against them with? What does our family have now?"

Lu San was choked up, "Do we just let this go?"

"We have no evidence, nor power!" Lu Da closed his eyes and said, "Step by step, starting from Xinlong, to the arrival of the Lord County Magistrate, to incarceration and trial. It was fierce and ruthless; without manpower or money, how could our family be uprooted so quickly, to the extent that even Mayor Ma was not spared?"

Everyone was stunned.

"They are powerful, we are no match for them. If it really was because of our previous visits that we just shamed and cursed a few words, and this is the retribution we receive, now if you go looking for trouble, it’s not about fish dying and net breaking, but about going to give up your life for nothing," Lu Da analyzed rationally.

Lu San, stumped by the question, hunched down in frustration.

Everyone was consumed by fear; they looked at each other, not daring to speak.

"It was all because of Lu Zhenzhu, they brought disaster upon our family, the home-wreckers, the jinxes," the Eldest Sister-in-law Lu couldn’t release her pent-up anger and could only blame Madam Lu.

Old Lady Lu couldn’t bear to hear it and started to retort, "What does it have to do with her? It was that cruel bitch who did it."

"It’s also because you protected her that it turned out this way. If it weren’t for you wanting us to go plead on your behalf, unnecessarily offending others, none of this would’ve happened," the Eldest Sister-in-law Lu said with a bad temper towards her mother-in-law.

Old Lady Lu was stunned, then started wailing, saying her grandchildren and daughter-in-law were unfilial, pushing her towards her death.

With an expressionless face, Lu Da was unclear of his own feelings. This was the first time he crossed a menacing star, and yet the result was so tragic. He regretted, he hated, yet he was helpless. The bitterness of the yellow lotus could only be forcibly endured.

At the Old Zhou family, Zhou Xuennian couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Old Lady Zhou, let alone speak to her. Even after kneeling for a long time, in the end, he only received a word of warning to conduct himself properly.

Upon Madam Lu’s return to the Zhou family, the first thing she did was barge into Old Lady Zhou’s room to confront her, asking if it was Wufu who had caused harm to her natal family.

Old Lady Zhou sneered, "You’re asking me? How should I know? Don’t you have any idea in your heart? How many times have I told you? You must not offend her, don’t stir up trouble with her, did you listen? Your Lu family, pressuring us daily to plead on your behalf, bringing about your own doom, who is to blame?"

"You..." Madam Lu’s eyes widened in anger.

Looking at her, Old Lady Zhou’s gaze did not carry a hint of warmth, "I advise you to just stay put and don’t cause any more trouble. Otherwise, next time it won’t be just going to jail, but losing your life. Look at your natal family, how miserable! This is the price of greed and not knowing when to stop! And one more thing, if you’re thinking of coming for a divorce letter, go ahead and make trouble. Our Zhou family cannot afford a daughter-in-law like you!"

Madam Lu’s face turned pale as she stepped back several paces, her lips quivering, but she didn’t dare utter a word of rebuttal.
