Volume 4: A New Era Chapter 620: Ward and Contest
"Lu Family, is there any news? Lu Zhong should be the head of the family now, right?"
The person who was wrapped tightly was Wang Zhenqiu's uncle. He was awake but unable to move. He felt extreme pain when he moved.
"ah?"
Wang Zhenqiu glanced at this guy and said calmly: "Even in this situation, you are still thinking about other people's affairs. Wang Changsheng, Wang Changsheng, you really are..."
"Wang Zhenqiu, how can you talk like that? I am your uncle. The old man asked you to help me. Have you forgotten?"
Wang Changsheng's face was clearly unhappy, and he said, "Do you know what it means to be an assistant? It means you do whatever I say! Now, immediately, go and find out about the Lu family's situation for me. I want first-hand information!"
"Yes, yes, you are a high-ranking official, you have the final say..."
Wang Zhenqiu shrugged his shoulders, not taking Wang Changsheng's vicious words to heart at all. Just as he was about to get up and walk out the door, he heard a lot of people rushing towards the infirmary in the corridor, and anxious figures were mixed in with their footsteps.
"Quick...quick, call the best doctor for the old man!"
"Dad, you have to hold on..."
Bursts of noisy noises came from not far away. Wang Zhenqiu opened the door curiously, but as soon as he opened the door, a group of people passed by him quickly.
If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to see clearly what just happened.
But Wang Zhenqiu was different. He was an extraordinary person after all, and his dynamic vision was far superior to that of ordinary people. He could clearly see who was lying on the hospital bed.
Isn’t that Lu Zhong, the lord of the Lu family, and also the person that the royal family is here to talk to this time?
But why are you lying on the hospital bed now?
"What happened outside?" Wang Changsheng asked inside the house.
"The person you came to see has been taken to the ICU right now!"
Wang Zhenqiu leaned against the door frame, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "It seems that the result is very clear. The head of the Lu family is not Lu Zhong!"
"What!"
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng didn't care about the pain, he sat up from the bed, walked quickly to the door and looked. Just as Wang Zhenqiu said, the doctor of the Lu family was treating Lu Zhong.
In other words, the head of the Lu family is not Lu Zhong...
Damn it!
How could this happen? Didn't he promise me solemnly that he would definitely become the head of the family? How could he fail?
Could it be that the Wang family has taken action?
No, impossible!
If Wang Bing took action in this situation, it would mean that the Wang family was declaring war on the Lu family. They would not do such an stupid thing.
"Go ask what's going on!"
Wang Changsheng said in a deep voice: "I want to know the reason!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Wang Zhenqiu shrugged and strode towards Lu Zhong. After a while, he came back and said to Wang Changsheng, "Lu Qian asked us to wait in Lujia Village now. He said he had something important to discuss with us. As for Senior Lu Zhong... they meant that the old man just fainted due to anger. He is not seriously injured and will probably wake up tomorrow!"
"Is that so... Well, let's let the tribesmen recover from their injuries first. Damn Ding Shimaan, he chose to learn how to rob people instead of learning how to do it properly..." Wang Changsheng said unhappily.
…
On the other hand, after the Lu family's head confirmed it, as for how to deal with Ding Shiman...
Very troublesome!
It's really troublesome.
This guy's identity really makes people wonder how to deal with it.
You say drive him away, this guy is a hero, no one can beat him in terms of martial arts; you say don't drive him away, this guy is still a "Quan Xing" and if this gets out, won't the Lu family lose face? Moreover, Ding Shimaan was "invited" back by Lu Liang, and Lu Xiao supported Lu Liang in front of so many people, making them unclear about what Lu Xiao is up to.
Therefore, the result was the same as that of the Tang Clan. The Lu Clan simply sent out four experts to keep an eye on Ding Shimaan where he was staying to prevent him from doing anything out of line.
In response, Lao Ding said that he was no longer surprised. This was not the first time he was being stared at. He was just curious about where Lu Liang had gone.
As for Lu Liang, he had been called to Lu Xiao's study. Although Lu Xiao's status as the head of the family had been confirmed, it would take some time before it was his turn to actually move into the room of the head of the Lu family.
"Grandpa, you know what you want me to do. I am not welcome in the Lu family now, and you have become the new head of the family..." Lu Liang said with a smile.
“Boy…”
Lu Xiao gave Lu Liang a complicated look and asked seriously, "Do you really not want to inherit the position of Patriarch of the Lu Family?"
" Me? Forget it, this position is thankless, I'm too lazy to sit here!"
Lü Liang hurriedly shook his head and said, "Since our branch has become the main line, then Lü Gong, I, and Lü Huan should all have the right of inheritance. As for Lü Gong..."
Thinking about his brother who has the same father and mother as him, Lu Liang also had mixed feelings. After a long time, he said: "He is not suitable to be the head of the family, so I suggest that this position be given to Lu Huan!"
"Lü Huan is now the daughter-in-law of the Wang family!" Lu Xiao said.
"Hey, old man, what era is this? Why are you still favoring boys over girls?"
Lu Liang said this, but he knew in his heart that the values of Lu Xiao and his generation were already set, and it was not realistic to change them now.
In the Lu Xiao branch, Lu Gong was not suitable to be the head of the family, and Lu Huan was a woman, so after much thought, it seemed that this position could only fall on me.
But the problem is...
He, Lu Liang, really doesn't want to be the head of the family. There are too many rules and regulations, and life is too depressing!
"Your last name is Lu after all, and there are certain responsibilities and obligations that you are destined to bear!"
Lu Xiao said very seriously: "You know the level of your father and your aunt. It is difficult for them to take on this important responsibility!"
"It's not that I haven't thought about letting Huan'er become the head of the Lu family, but..."
"It's just that you can't do without the support of the Wang family right now..."
Lu Liang sneered and said, "Are you worried that the Lu family will become a dowry and end up in the hands of the Wang family?"
“…”
Lu Xiao didn't say anything, and his silence represented his attitude.
To be honest, after Lu Ci's death, Lu Xiao did think about breaking off the engagement, but at that time the family's fight for the position of head of the family had reached a white-hot stage, and he could not do without the support of the Wang family.
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. In order to get the support of the Wang family, a family of skinners, Lu Xiao had to marry Lu Huan, who was a perfect match.
As for the ancestor worship ceremony, Lu Xiao had no choice but to give Lu Huan the inheritance rights by order of the head of the family.
He could see that if Lu Huan could not get the inheritance rights, Wang Bing would definitely give up supporting him and turn around and hand over the resources to Lu Huan, gradually undermining him.
Therefore, Lu Xiao had to put forward someone to compete with Lu Huan, and that person was Lu Liang!
