The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 419 The Terrifying Lu Zhiyao

"Oh...what's that expression? I can't do anything to you. Dad...brother. I have a request. Can you please keep this person?" She changed the subject and suddenly turned her body. Her big eyes looked at her father and brother innocently, like a frightened deer.

Lu Yucheng wanted to execute Chu Yun directly, after all, he couldn't get anything out of him. However, facing his daughter's request, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. What exactly did she want to do? But since his daughter asked, he naturally agreed.

Chu Yun glared at the woman in front of him and roared, "I will never do as you wish. Even if you don't kill me, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide!"

Lu Zhiyao shook her head gently and said softly, "I advise you to be honest. Although he is your father, you still have your mother. Do you want your mother to suffer the same fate as your father?"

Chu Yunru was grabbed by an invisible force, and his heart was full of doubts. He did hurt the second son of the Lu family, and he was willing to accept the punishment, so why did he implicate his parents in these things?

"What do you want? Please don't touch my mother, she knows nothing about this. I did it because I don't like the Second Young Master." There was a hint of pleading in Chu Yun's voice.

"Chu Yun...there are some things you have to look forward to, but if you really want your mother to live, you must stay here honestly. You can rest assured that no one will easily attack you. As long as you follow our arrangements, I guarantee that you will suffer less." Lu Zhiyao looked at the man in front of her with a firm gaze and said in a serious tone.

Chu Yun's heart was already broken by pain and regret. He felt that he was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to die but was powerless. In this situation, he had no choice but to endure it silently. He deeply regretted what he had done. Why was he so impulsive and murderous to the second son? If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?

"Okay... I'm tired and need to go back to my room to rest for a while. As for the follow-up matters, I don't need to handle them personally, right?" Lu Zhiyao looked at her father with tired eyes, then turned her gaze to her eldest brother.

"Yaoyao...go back and have a rest. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters anymore. If you encounter similar situations in the future, you don't have to do it yourself. Junyan...go and send your sister back to her room to rest." The father stared at everything that happened in front of him, especially seeing his daughter's actions today, he couldn't help but feel shocked and unbelievable. He never thought that his daughter would be so bold and resolute.

At this moment, Lu Wange outside the house did not step into the Xing Hall, but just stood outside the door and witnessed everything that happened in front of her. She stared at the woman with her eyes wide open in disbelief, thinking to herself: "How can this woman be so bold? What she did was like a child's play!"

Although Lu Wange was usually a bit spoiled and willful, it was the first time for her to face such a scene. Especially when she saw the man was beaten with scars all over his body, she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She was worried that the man would not be able to withstand the torture and confess her, but the facts were unexpected. The man clenched his teeth and didn't say a word.

At the same time, this made Lu Wange even more angry with her. It was a pity that the two people she could call upon were now... Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiyao, I will never let you go easily! You dared to kill Brother Yun's father, I will definitely eradicate you!

At this moment, Lu Zhiyao came out of the Xingtang Hall and happened to meet Lu Wange's eyes. Lu Zhiyao stared into Lu Wange's eyes quietly, revealing an elusive expression in her eyes. Lu Wange's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily. For some reason, when she looked directly into Lu Zhiyao's eyes, she felt a little timid in her heart.

She took a few steps back involuntarily, her heart full of confusion and fear. There seemed to be a bottomless darkness in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, which made her feel an inexplicable threat. There was no deep hatred between them. Was she still holding a grudge just because of a few words last time?

She tried hard to calm her inner panic and said in a calm tone: "Sister, you should go and rest, take a shower, and have a good sleep." Lu Zhiyao smiled and nodded. There seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in that smile, and then she turned and left.

Lu Junyan helped Lu Zhiyao back to the room. After confirming that no one was outside, he closed the door and stared at Lu Zhiyao, his tone full of concern: "Yaoyao, there are some things you don't have to do yourself. Tell me what you want to do, and I will do it for you. That person is really not worth getting your hands dirty on."

Lu Zhiyao looked at him quietly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "Brother, the me you saw today is the real me. Maybe you will feel scared, but I hope you can understand."

Lu Junyan held her hand tightly, his eyes full of determination: "Yaoyao, no matter what you do, I will be by your side. I am not afraid of what you will do to me, I just hope you can let go of the hatred in your heart. I only hope to atone for your sins in this life."

Lu Zhiyao's heart was filled with ridicule. Atonement? Some things can't be solved with just one word of atonement. She looked at Lu Junyan, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes: "Brother, if one day my father and I stand on opposite sides, what will you choose? Will you stand on my father's side, or on my side?"

This question made Lu Junyan fall into deep thought. He knew that this was an unavoidable question. No matter which side he chose, it would hurt the other side. But he believed that no matter what the result was, he would stick to his beliefs and principles. In the last life, I may have owed him something. Do I have to repeat the same mistake and stand on the opposite side of him in this life? However, if I choose to help my sister, it means a conflict with my father. In the Lu family, family education is strict. As a son, I cannot go against my father's wishes, otherwise it would be a great unfilial act.

Faced with such a dilemma, he responded calmly: "Sister, I firmly believe that you and father will not come to the point of confrontation. The possibility of this is almost zero." At this moment, Lu Zhiyao was full of respect for her elder brother. He was worthy of being the prince praised by the world. His words were so cautious and he cleverly resolved this thorny problem.

Lu Zhiyao asked softly, "Is Lu Jingxing still in the ICU? Hasn't he woken up yet?" Lu Junyan nodded sadly, "Yes, Jingxing is still unconscious, and the doctor said the situation is not optimistic. I'm really worried whether he can make it this time."

Seeing his worried expression, Zhiyao knew that he had deep feelings for this second brother. At this time, Zhiyao said firmly: "Take me to the hospital. I have a way to wake him up. We can't let him die so easily. He must pay the price for what he did in his last life."

Lu Junyan looked at Zhiyao in surprise, as if he didn't expect Zhiyao to offer to help. In fact, he also hoped that Zhiyao could help his second brother, but he was just not in a position to ask. Zhiyao knew what he was thinking, so she offered to help.

Lu Junyan said with emotion: "Yaoyao, you are always so kind."

Zhiyao smiled and shook her head. "Brother, please stop praising me. I know whether I am kind or not. Do you think I am kind after what happened in Xingtang? Okay, stop talking and drive me to the hospital."
