Chapter 475 Lu Yunqing's Memories
He then sent men to beat up the Fang family. The message they brought back was that Dongfang Jin was picked up by the roadside by the Fang family's old woman.
She was unconscious at the time. The reason why Granny Fang picked her up was because she was wearing and wearing the finest clothes.
The Fang couple were servants of the Ma family in Zhongzhou. Their son was caught stealing from his master.
Considering that Granny Fang was a servant born into the family, the Ma family did not investigate further and simply kicked the whole family out.
The family of four found Dongfang Jin unconscious in a field by the roadside on their way back to their hometown.
They had planned to extort money from Dongfang Jin after he found his relatives, but unfortunately, Dongfang Jin had lost his memory.
Aside from knowing that her name contained the character "瑾", she knew nothing else.
After swindling all her belongings, Granny Fang intended to sell her.
But her daughter disagreed, saying she wanted someone to serve her. In fact, Fang Yingying was just jealous of Dongfang Jin's good looks.
And so, Dongfang Jin returned to Fangjia Village with the Fang family and began living under the name Fang Jin, the youngest daughter of the Fang family…
Then came information about Gu Chenglin, who was said to have been abused by his mother and bullied by his younger siblings since childhood.
Then there's the various injustices he suffered at home, which he seems to have never resisted...
He only retreated from Flying Tiger Pass a few days ago, covered in injuries.
As soon as he entered the house, the Gu family pressured him to get married...
Because he also had an experience of being jilted after a family crisis.
That was after learning that his mother had been poisoned to death by his own grandmother, his eldest aunt, and his second aunt, and that his maternal grandmother wouldn't let him take revenge...
Ah, how could I not avenge the murder of my mother!
But before he could take revenge, his fiancée's family came to break off the engagement, and then a series of misfortunes befell his family...
All the "family members" who had bullied them were imprisoned without exception.
A few days later, all of them were exiled to the frigid land of Ningguta.
Before he could even feel happy, rumors and gossip from the outside world began to flood in...
He, his father, and his sister were not arrested because their maternal grandmother vouched for them.
Later, my teacher came forward to testify that his father was not involved in those matters.
Because my master is the emperor's tutor, he has extremely high prestige in the court. His appearance also confirmed the innocence of my family.
But no matter how innocent he is, he is still a member of the Lu family, a descendant of the Marquis of Changyuan, and the grandson of Princess Qinghe.
Rumors are circulating that the reason the family of three wasn't exiled with the Lu family is because...
It's all because of his maternal grandmother and the imperial tutor...
After that upheaval at home, his former classmates and friends, and those who fawned over him, all turned against him.
They all avoided him as if he were a "flood or a ferocious beast," and he was devastated at that time.
If it weren't for my master, he might have continued down that path of despair...
Recalling those times when one unexpected event after another weighed on him, he had no choice but to grow up quickly.
For no other reason than his sister, he had to be strong. It was from that moment that he began to disguise himself...
He even started practicing martial arts again, the very thing he disliked the most...
Upon learning that her sister's husband's family had not come to break off the engagement, and had even frequently stood up for her sister, they also gave her a contingent of soldiers.
The maids and servants from General Weiyuan's mansion also sent quite a few to my sister...
Later, his father became the new Marquis of Changyuan, he became the heir apparent, and his sister became a princess with a title.
Those opportunists who fawned over others came to the door one after another... but the father turned them all away.
From then on, my father practically lived in the editorial office...
He only left after his sister got married and his in-laws agreed to let her stay with her parents for an extended period...
In his mind, marriage was simply a matter of parental arrangement and matchmaker's words.
He also has a princess grandmother and a father who is "weak and easily bullied".
After her mother was killed by the Lu family, she had an older sister who forced herself to live like a "man" for the sake of the Lu family.
Whenever he thought about these things, it made him feel suffocated. How could he possibly have romantic feelings for a man...?
He left the capital without saying goodbye to travel, and never returned...
Because he didn't want to go back in disgrace; he wanted to go back in glory.
One way was to pursue a career in government.
After receiving a letter from my teacher, I learned that everything was fine at home.
Following his master's instructions, he went to Guanglin Prefecture to find his senior brother Yao Wenlan, who was now the prefect.
My master is right. Only by gaining a firm foothold in the imperial court can the Changyuan Marquis's Mansion regain its former reputation.
His constant evasion will only reveal the rise and fall, and the shame, of the Changyuan Marquis's mansion.
This is also why Emperor Shengde never removed the plaque of "Changyuan Marquis's Residence".
He knew that it was also his master's intention, and it was also his master's expectation of him.
It also motivated him, as the Changyuan Marquis's mansion was still waiting for him to restore its former glory.
After more than three years of travel, more than a year of learning from Senior Brother Yao, and then three years as a county magistrate.
The identity of "Prince Lu" constantly reminds him that he cannot make any mistakes in anything he does.
However, starting as a county magistrate and climbing the ranks step by step is incredibly arduous...
Whenever he felt like giving up, he would receive a letter from home, which told him about his father and older sister...
Seeing those contents, how could he, as the "Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Changyuan," not strive to improve himself!
As a man of the Changyuan Marquis's mansion, what right does he have to give up halfway...?
After serving three years as a county magistrate, he thought he could return to the capital, but unexpectedly, the woman who had broken off his engagement was causing trouble again.
Is he waiting for her?
What a big joke.
What right does that vain woman have to make him wait for her?
How could a married woman with a family dare to smear him?
Before he could even return to the capital, he received a secret imperial edict ordering him to come to Ling'an County as its magistrate.
They secretly investigated the case of the Duke of Wu's faction, which was involved in human trafficking for profit.
At that moment, he knew that this secret decree must be related to his master and cousin, because the messenger was his cousin Hua Yunshu's man.
Because his mother saved his life when he was a child.
Despite her maternal grandmother's strong opposition and the "order" that no offspring in the family should have any connection with the government.
My cousin had long since become Emperor Shengde's man because he wanted to avenge his mother's tragic death...
They all strive for their own interests, so how could he dare to disappoint them?
And he can't always grow up under someone else's wings...
Just when he had thought he would spend the rest of his life alone, on the second day after he took office as the magistrate of Ling'an County.
That's how he met the woman who captured his heart—Dongfang Jin.
...Later, after spending more time with her, he understood his own heart.
But the more he tried to forget her, the more he couldn't; her every smile and frown lingered in his mind.
However, he could not break up her marriage, and his status did not allow him to marry a married peasant girl.
The more this happened, the more deeply his heart was drawn to her, and later he paid more and more attention to her.
However, the more he paid attention to her, the more he discovered her differences. Since he couldn't be her "husband," he decided to be her "brother."
The longer he spent with him, the more he realized how terribly wrong his ideas were.
It was his own arrogance that caused him to miss out on her forever.
So what if someone is well-read and knowledgeable? Haha, they're utterly worthless in her eyes.
If I had known my feelings for her from the beginning and told her honestly, she might have had a chance to become my wife.
But once it's missed, it's missed.
What followed was nothing short of earth-shattering.
He knew he was a step too late, but he just couldn't let go of his worries.
They even get more and more mired in it, and sometimes they even have some absurd ideas.
He had expected to be transferred back to the capital after his three-year term, but he didn't want to leave.
Because her shadow lingers in every corner of this place.
Later, she proposed the "development zone" plan, and he knew that his chance to stay had come.
After he reported it, the message he received was that he should stay in Ling'an County until a suitable person was found to take over...
He didn't sleep a wink all night after hearing the news.
When he went to Lingwu Village to find her with this good news, he found her gone.
The steward, Song Qing, said, "Our master has gone on a journey."
Have you gone traveling?
I'm so unwilling to accept this!
But so what? He could only wait for her here, wait for her to come back.
