Chapter 767 - 767: The Wei Family’s Counterattack (1)
Strictly speaking, the Wei family and the Lu family did not have any grudges, and there was not even a battle for military power. However, sometimes, not provoking others did not necessary mean that the other party would not bully you.
With Xiao Duye being conferred the title of king, the Lu Public House’s ambition began to swell. If they wanted to establish their prestige in the capital, they had to start with the old guards. Was there a better stepping stone than the Wei family, which had been in power for a long time and had yet to fall?
Fu Su was a secret guard sent by Old Matriarch Wei to Wei Ting’s side. After reporting to Wei Ting, he reported to Matriarch Wei.
Wei Ting thought for a moment and went over to see his grandmother.
On the way, he met his second brother.
“The Lu family?” Old Matriarch Wei snorted coldly. “Back then, when your grandfather returned from the battle, Old Duke Lu couldn’t wait to stand at the city gate to carry your grandfather’s shoes! Now that he’s old, he’s even more confused. He actually let his son do such a dirty and shameless thing!” “Grandmother,” Wei Ting said.
Old Madam Wei waved her hand. “Alright, the two of you don’t have to worry about this. I’m not dead yet! I’ve just been silent for a few years. Everyone thinks that the Wei family is a pushover! ”
The brothers exchanged looks. The world was big, and their grandmother was the oldest. Their grandmother was almost done with her acting addiction. It was time to show her real prowess.
Early the next morning, Old Madam Wei brought the women of the Wei family to the Lu Public House.
She held a tiger-headed walking stick that was taller than her. Even though she was old, her aura was overpowering. In addition, her granddaughters-in-law were all valiant and heroic. The servant at the door was stunned.
“This, this, this… are these women from the Wei family?”
Everyone lined up with raging killing intent. Those who did not know would think that the army had come to flatten the Lu Public House.
Old Madam Wei slammed her walking stick on the ground. “Get Lu Zheng to come out!”
Lu Zhelu was the current Duke, the eldest son of the old Duke, and the
biological father of Consort Liang.
The servant was shocked speechless by her and hurriedly went.
Third Miss Lu was rejected by Zhuge Qing at the palace banquet. The news had long spread in the capital, and the Lu Public House’s face had fallen. For the past two days, Lu Zheng had been refusing guests at home.
When he heard that the Wei family had come to cause trouble, he still came out.
Madam Lu and his five sons appeared with him.
Seeing the women of the Wei family lined up behind Old Madam Wei, all of them holding sabers and spears, looking like they wanted to kill someone, Lu Zheng frowned. “Old Madam Wei, what do you mean by this?”
Matriarch Wei said disdainfully, “What do you mean? Hmph! You have the cheek to ask me! You know very well what dirty methods you have secretly resorted to!”
Lu Zheng’s expression darkened. “Old Madam Wei, I respect you as an elder and don’t want to argue with you. However, don’t take advantage of your seniority. You came to the Lu Public House early in the morning to pour dirty warter at my door and slander me!”
Old Madam Wei mocked, “Your door is dirty enough. The dirty water is meant to wash the ground for you!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the commoners who were attracted by the commotion could not hold back their amusement anymore.
In the past, they only knew that the Matriarch’s martial arts were powerful, but it turned out that she was also so eloquent.
The old lady was too fun.
One of Lu Zheng’s sons could not take it anymore. He pointed at Matriarch Wei and scolded, “You stinky old woman, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Slap!
Madam Chen slapped him and sent him flying!
Lu Yan slammed into the stone lion at the door and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The surrounding crowd gasped. This was King Liang’s brother-in-law. The Wei family’s women had beaten him up without a word.
Who was the one who said that the Wei family had chickened out after the Wei family’s sons died in battle?
If they were afraid, wouldn’t all the men in the world be labeled as cowards?
Seeing that his youngest son had been injured, Lu Zheng was furious. “How dare you commit murder at the door of the emperor. Do you still have the law in your eyes?”
“Son!” Madam Lu pounced over and hugged her injured youngest son. The eldest son and youngest son of the Lu family were her flesh and blood, and the rest were the children of concubines.
Her heart ached to the extreme. She looked at Matriarch Wei and the others with red eyes. ‘Why did you hurt my son? How did we offend you? It’s fine if you ruined our marriage with Mr. Zhuge in the place hall, but now, you’re even worse and coming to find trouble with us!”
Everyone was stunned.
From what the Duke’s Estate said, was there something else going on when Mr. Zhuge rejected the marriage in the Western Jin?
“I heard that the Seventh Young Madam of the Wei family is Mr. Zhuge’s physician. She must have used her medical skills to threaten Mr. Zhuge not to
marry the Lu family..”
