Chapter 1907....
1907 The Lu clan
The head butler of the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion saw Lu Zheng and quickly went forward.”This lowly one greets the Prince. The high Duke ordered this lowly one to wait for the Prince here. It’s late at night and cold outside. Your Highness, you should go home!”
Lu Zheng looked at the old man in front of him. He was older than his father and had followed his grandfather in the past. After his grandfather passed away, he was sent to the manor by the Lin family.
The spy he had placed in the manor had mentioned that now that the Lin family had fallen, the country guarding Duke had summoned them back and punished the former Butler. This was to make him treat the people in the manor better for the sake of their past relationship.
The old Butler was a man of the late Duke Zhenguo. He had taken his main surname and was named Lu an. Lu Zheng had to call him uncle an.
“Uncle an, it’s been a long time. How are you doing?” Lu Zheng reached out to support the head butler.
The head butler was a little excited. I’m very good. All these years, Your Highness’s people have been very good to me. I still have the energy to serve Your Highness!
“Alright, let’s go in then!” Lu Zheng smiled and nodded. Have they all gone to rest?”
The head butler followed beside Lu Zheng and answered, ” “The high Duke and second master have not rested yet. They are waiting for you in the main hall.”
Lu Zheng stopped in his tracks.
“This is what they should do,” the head butler said softly. Your Highness, you fought bravely in the West and protected the great Zhou. You returned victorious, so you should have waited for a long time!”
Lu Zheng smiled and did not say anything. He walked slowly towards the main hall.
There were some changes in the Duke Zhengguo’s Manor. In his previous life, when he reappeared, it was a few years earlier than now. At that time, the Duke Zhengguo’s Manor was still a lively scene. But now, perhaps because of the Lin family’s matter, the Duke Zhengguo did not want the manor to be high-profile!
The dozens of people in the house all looked over.
The Duke Zhengguo’s mansion was not separated, and the three branches lived together. The main branch was Lu Zheng’s father’s branch, and they had inherited the title of nobility.
Other than the married Lu Xue, there was also Lu Zheng in the main branch, as well as the Lin family’s two children, Lu Ming and Lu Suan, and the children of the country guarding Duke’s two aunts. State Duke Zhenguo had two concubines. Concubine Jiang had given birth to a son and a daughter. His daughter, Lu Shuang, was already married. His son, Lu Yue, was 12 years old this year. Concubine Fang only had one daughter, Lu Lin, who was about the same age as Lu Suan and was at the age to propose marriage. However, due to the Lin family’s matters two years ago, it had been delayed. She was 18 years old and had yet to marry into her family.
The Lin family’s son, Lu Ming, was only one year younger than Lu Zheng. He was already 20 years old. When he got married, the Lin family had not been in trouble. He married Ying Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the Ying family who guarded Jiangnan. They had a son, Lu Tingyun, who was already one year old. Lu Ming also had a concubine, who was his Lin family’s cousin. The two were childhood sweethearts.
From this relationship, it could be seen that Ying Qingqing, who was born in a family of generals, did not have a good relationship with Lu Ming’s husband. She did not care much about matters.
The second son of the Lu family was the younger brother of the country guarding Duke, second master Lu, Lu Zhenyun. Second master Lu was currently the assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was a tactful person. Second Madam Lu, Qin Shi, was from the Qin family of tai Zhou. Because of her status as the youngest daughter of the first wife, she was very arrogant. In the past, because of the Lin family, she had been punished in front of Lin Shi time and time again. When the Qin family fell, she was the happiest person in the whole country guarding Duke’s mansion. She and second master Lu had three children. Lu Qin and Lu Zheng were the same age. Little Lu was already married and had children in his month. He married the niece of Empress Xue’s maternal family, which was also Xue Qianyu’s cousin. The child was already two years old and was a girl. The second branch had another son, Lu Feng, who was 11 years old and was currently studying at the Imperial College. In addition, the only girl in the second branch, Lu Wen, had been weak and sickly since she was young. At the age of 15, she rarely went out.
