LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Chapter 142 A Hasty Funeral

When Lu Chenshuang returned to the Lu Mansion, the family had already hung up white silk and the servants in the mansion had changed into plain clothes.

But Han was just a concubine after all. Even if she was favored during her lifetime, the standard of her funeral would not be very high.

What's more, she was executed by Lu Zhan himself, and this scene happened only because she gave birth to a pair of children.

As soon as the housekeeper saw Lu Chenshuang, he hurried over to greet her.

He knew the inside story about Han's death, and naturally he also knew that it was Lu Chenshuang who saved the Lu family.

Otherwise, the entire Lu family would suffer, and if the Lu family suffered, he would naturally lose his position as the chief steward.

He has worked hard for Lu Zhan for so many years and is loyal to him, so he hopes that the Lu family will be well.

Lu Chenshuang nodded to Butler Lu, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.

Steward Lu said in a low voice: "Madam said that it doesn't matter if the eldest lady is not free. After all, Han is just a concubine, and you are a legitimate daughter."

Lu Chenshuang waved her hand and said, "When a person dies, all debts are forgiven. If I don't come, my mother will be criticized.

Besides, Han is my father's concubine. Since my father wants to give her this honor and dignity, how can I, as his daughter, not cooperate?

Besides, I am a divorced woman and a half-unmarried girl, so I cannot be absent from my stepmother’s funeral.”

Upon hearing this, Butler Lu quickly nodded in agreement, but in his heart he approved of Lu Chenshuang even more.

In his opinion, the eldest girl had always acted in a strong manner, and she was even at odds with Han. But now Han was gone, and was executed by the master himself, but the eldest girl did not take the opportunity to step on her. This kind of magnanimity is not something that ordinary people can do.

Lu Chenshuang came to the inner hall and saw Han’s coffin parked there.

Lu Chenxi and Lu Chenguang were kneeling there in mourning clothes, crying.

Lu Chenxi cried very sadly, probably because she felt that without Han, no one would be able to protect her, and it would be impossible for her to act tyrannically in the mansion.

There was also suppressed grief in Lu Chenguang's eyes, but he was a man after all, so he didn't show it so obviously.

He even bowed to Lu Chenshuang when he saw her, and Lu Chenshuang nodded slightly to him.

Lu Chenxi was unhappy, but she didn't dare to get angry with Lu Chenshuang.

He could only yell at Lu Chenguang: “She is the murderer who killed my mother, and you actually saluted her.

How could my mother have such an unfilial son like you? "

Lu Chenguang studied in the academy all year round and had no idea what was happening at home. He even found out that Han was exiled to the farm only after Han's death.

But in Lu Chenguang's impression, his stepmother Lin has always been kind, and his eldest sister Lu Chenshuang is also very gentle. How could she be the murderer who killed his mother?

Lu Chenshuang glanced at Lu Chenxi calmly and said, “I think you should know better than anyone how your aunt died.

If you want to find a good husband-in-law for yourself in the future and want your brother to have a good future, you'd better shut your mouth.

Otherwise, you might have to tie your hair and go to the mountains to become a nun in this life.

As for Chen Guang, I'm afraid he will never be able to take the imperial examination in this lifetime."

Lu Chenxi shut up in dismay after hearing this. She knew about Han's loan sharking.

Lu Chenxi also deserves some credit for the Han Group's immoral and illegal behavior.

She always loves to compete with those young ladies from wealthy families, asking for clothes today and jewelry tomorrow.

In order to buy more clothes and jewelry for her, Han had no choice but to put in some silver.

And once you have tasted the sweetness of making huge profits, it will not be so easy to give up.

Now that the Han family is gone, this family will belong to the Lin family and Lu Chenshuang in the future. Lu Chenxi sees this very clearly, so even if she is angry now, she dare not challenge Lu Chenshuang.

Instead, Lu Chenguang looked at Lu Chenshuang and asked, "Eldest sister, what did my aunt do wrong? You want to kill her."

Lu Chenshuang glanced at him and asked calmly, "Do you really want to know?"

Lu Chenguang nodded when he heard this: "If a son doesn't even want to know the cause of his mother's death, then all my years of studying have been in vain."

Lu Chenshuang looked around and saw that there was no one else in the mourning hall except the three of them, so she said, "Your aunt lent money privately, causing people to sell their children and daughters, and their families were broken up."

Lu Chenguang seemed to find it hard to accept this answer, but he knew that Lu Chenshuang had not lied to him.

He had seen Han and his confidants counting banknotes in secret before, and he was very panicked when he saw them.

He also asked Han, but Han said that it was the income from the land and shops.

At that time, Lu Chenguang simply thought that Han didn't want people to know that her shop was making money, for fear of being targeted by others.

Who would have thought that the money was obtained from illegal sources?

Besides, he was a scholar and naturally knew that the imperial court strictly prohibited such illegal and disorderly activities.

During the past few days, he was studying in the academy and naturally heard that the court was going to investigate the matter strictly and that a large number of officials had already suffered.

At that time, he was glad that his father was an honest official and had never done anything illegal.

But who knew that this would happen to his mother.

After Lu Chenguang calmed down for a while, Lu Chenshuang spoke again: "If your aunt doesn't die, then the whole family will have to be buried with her.

And it wasn't me who killed Han, it was my father who killed her, so please don't wrongly accuse my elder sister."

Lu Chenshuang's voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

It is true that she was the one who leaked the information, but she did not interfere in the entire process from investigation to handling of Han.

The reason why she chose to tell Lu Chenguang the truth was not because she was timid, but because she didn't want to take the blame for her scumbag father.

As for Lu Chenguang, although he seems to be a good kid at the moment, there is no brother-sister relationship between them.

Lin's life in the Lu family was so difficult, who knows if Lu Chenguang had no role to play in this.

Looking at Lu Chenguang, whose eyes were filled with grief and disbelief, Lu Chenshuang ignored him.

Instead, he lit a stick of incense for Han and then left.

No matter how favored Han was, she was just a concubine, and not many people came to offer condolences to her.

Besides, several mansions in the capital were holding funerals. Who would take the death of a concubine of a third-rank official seriously?

Therefore, Han's body was kept for only one day before being hastily buried.

Even Lu Zhan did not mention letting Han enter the Lu family's ancestral tomb.

Lu Chenguang also knew that Han was a criminal. If he was found out, he would have no hope in this life, so he did not speak for Han.

After the funeral, Lu Zhanxin did not feel sad, but just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

Even if the emperor finds out later, at most he would just reprimand him.

Lu Chenshuang chatted with her in Lin's yard.

Lin did not seem very happy about Han's death, but sighed that Lu Zhan was ruthless.

After all, he had doted on Han for so many years, so he could abandon her just like that.

If it were her, her fate would probably be even worse.

Lu Chenshuang didn't say anything. It was true that Lu Zhan was ruthless, but she agreed with his approach.

If Han didn't die, the entire Lu family would suffer in the future, and Lu Zhan himself would be the first to bear the brunt.

No matter how much Lu Zhan likes Han, he can still tell what is more important.
