The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 657 What did you say?

At the gate of the Lu family, as the blockading imperial guards withdrew, Lu Yan also walked out of the Lu family.

When Lu Yan saw Jiang Suining and Wei Yao waiting at the door, she was stunned for a moment, then quickened her pace and walked towards them.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to pick you up." Wei Yao said with a smile, "Ayan, I've been on duty for so long, and I've saved some money. I've moved to a bigger yard, and there's a vacant room. If you don't mind, why don't you stay with me for a while?"

The result of the punishment has been announced. Because Lu Wenshi disrupted the fairness of the imperial examination, angered Grand Tutor Lu, and was disloyal and unfilial, he was punished by being exiled 2,000 miles to the border to do hard labor and was not allowed to return to the imperial city for life.

Although Lu Yan was guilty of concealing the truth, it was excusable. In addition, she was willing to avoid being implicated because she was putting the interests of the country above her own, and she could continue to serve in the palace.

As for the people of the Lu family, in consideration of Grand Tutor Lu's past merits, they will be given a lenient sentence and no punishment will be imposed on them. However, the Lu family will be closed down from now on, and no one can continue to live in the Lu family.

Lu Yan looked at Wei Yao, "This is a bit too disturbing to you, and I am penniless now, I am afraid..."

"Don't worry, your monthly salary will be paid soon, and all the things you need for food, clothing, housing and transportation have been arranged. Sui Ning ordered them to prepare them, so you just need to live there peacefully."

Lu Yan looked at Jiang Suining again, feeling sad, "Ayao, Suining, thank you."

"There's no need to say these things between friends. When we get there, you can take a look to see if there are any omissions. If so, please speak up in time and I'll have someone add them for you." Jiang Suining said.

"Sui Ning, I do have one more thing I'd like you to help me with." Lu Yan looked at Jiang Sui Ning, pursed her lips, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Suining understood and said, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. You can go see your father for the last time."

Lu Yan was stunned again. When she met Jiang Suining's gaze, her nose became more and more sore. Finally, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Shen Yanxi and Pei Zhaozhi had already made arrangements. On the night before Lv Wenshi was exiled to hard labor, Lv Yan arrived at the prison.

In just a few days, Lu Wenshi looked much more aged, and there seemed to be a lot more white hair on his temples.

He was wearing prison clothes and leaning against the wall listlessly. When he heard Lu Yan's voice, he slowly opened his eyes.

After looking Lu Yan up and down, Lu Wenshi sneered.

"It seems that you are doing well and have not been implicated at all."

Lu Yan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Lu Wenshi continued speaking as if he was talking to himself.

"That's right. You are now a meritorious official who has reported me for the sake of justice. The emperor will not do anything to you. I never thought that I could give birth to such a good daughter like you. I was exiled two thousand miles away, and I was forced to do hard labor for a lifetime. You should be satisfied now, right?"

"Father, I know you must hate me in your heart, but you were wrong in the first place. And that matter cannot be concealed. Even if I don't report it to the emperor, Lord Pei will report the confessions of Li Zheng and his mother sooner or later."

"Even if you can't keep it secret, you shouldn't be the one to speak up, and in front of so many civil and military officials!"

Lu Wenshi was very emotional. He stood up and walked to the prison door, pointing at Lu Yan and cursing.

"You are such a rebellious bastard. You simply hate your father and want to take revenge on him. No, not only that, you also want to save yourself and your status as a female official by sacrificing your own relatives for the sake of justice."

"I never thought I would give birth to such an ungrateful and ungrateful person like you. For so many years, you pretended to be gentle and filial, but you are so cold-blooded in your heart. If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you to death when you were just born!"

"Father……"

"Don't call me father. I don't have a daughter like you. What have you learned from your grandfather over the years? Now it seems that your grandfather didn't teach you well at all!"

When Master Lu was mentioned, Lu Yan's expression tensed again. She looked at Lu Wenshi, and the guilt in her eyes gradually faded away.

"Why should father blame grandfather's teachings? If my daughter really wants to find a reason for doing this, it is probably because of my father's words and deeds."

The four words "teaching by words and deeds" were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lu Wenshi's head, making him shudder.

"You, you..." He looked at Lu Yan. Although he was still very angry, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Yan looked at him and continued, "Father, you are right. Your daughter is indeed a cold-hearted and ungrateful person. The reason why I exposed you in public was indeed partly for my own benefit. Do you remember what you said about Li Zheng's miserable state after the fall of the Li family? He is a man, but he is in such a miserable state. If I, a woman, don't plan for myself, my fate will be even more miserable."

"So you are so cruel that you don't care about your father's life or death, nor do you care about the Lu family?"

"Then tell me, father, what should I do if I want to be less cruel? Should I keep wishing with you that things will turn around, and then wait until everything is revealed, and then be exiled with you to do hard labor?"

Lu Yan's question made Lu Wenshi choke again, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of fatigue in his heart.

“Forget it, forget it…” He took a few steps back, shook his head and said, “Now, things have become like this, no matter what I say, it can’t be changed. Since you chose to protect yourself, you don’t have to appear in front of me again. I will just pretend that I don’t have a daughter like you.”

"Father, I came here today not only to see you off for the last time, but also to ask you about the problem that happened that day."

"What's the problem?" Lu Wenshi asked subconsciously.

"What did you say to your grandfather when he was dying?"

"Now that the situation has come to this, what's the point of you asking these questions!" Lu Wenshi gritted his teeth and said.

"It may not mean anything to my father, but it is very important to me. I want to know what the last words my grandfather heard before he died were."

Lu Yan's expression and tone revealed her stubbornness, as if she would never give up unless she got an answer.

She also knew that the person was gone, and there was no point in dwelling on it now. But perhaps because she didn't have time to see her grandfather off, she still couldn't let it go, so she just wanted to know what her father had said.

Lu Wenshi stared at his daughter in a daze, feeling mixed emotions.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since you want to know so much, then I will tell you!"
