 Chapter 258: 

 Filing A Law Suit

"This little matter couldn't even be handled properly!"

Ge Bao'er was furious to hear that Xiaoxuan had gotten away unscathed.

However, it was also a time when she needed people, so she couldn't afford to offend the maids around her. She said with a smile, "Go and see if the master has returned. Only he can step forward and force her out..."

Qing'er was still Master Lu's child after all. He wouldn't just sit idly by.

After the maid left, Ge Bao'er massaged her temples, "It hurts..."

Running the household for these years had been exhausting. Now it was even more tiring.

"Lin Yunwan... How could you take over this mess of the Lu family? I was made to believe that the Lu family was all about glory and wealth! But it's nothing like that!"

Ge Bao'er was absolutely furious!

In Lu Chang Zong's courtyard, Xiaoxuan woke up crying uncontrollably, refusing to calm down: "I live in constant fear every day, it's better to die! Ge Bao'er sees me like a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to take my life at any moment. Second Young Master, do you even care?"

What did Lu Chang Zong understand?

He was just anxious, pacing around the room, and asked Xiaoxuan, "I told you I would protect you! What more do you want me to do?"

Xiaoxuan cried and asked, "Second Young Master, don't you understand what kind of person Ge Bao'er is? As long as she stays in the Lu family, there will always be danger for me and the child!"

Suddenly, Lu Chang Zong remembered what Yan Mama had said.

He stood still.

Xiaoxuan went over and pushed him, "Second Young Master, what are you daydreaming about? I'm telling you about life and death matters!"

Lu Chang Zong snapped out of his daze and went to comfort her, "Alright, alright, just sit down. I have a plan... I have a plan..."

"What plan?" 

Lu Chang Zong was still tormented inside, he pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry about it! I... I will definitely protect you and our child."

He hardened his heart, "I won't let my child live in fear like I did when I was young."

Xiaoxuan's eyes twinkled as she leaned in and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, I'll rely on you entirely."

Lu Chang Zong went to the study to look up something in the books.

"When you get to the Shuntian Prefecture, how to file the lawsuit... Knock on the drum, submit the petition..."

He closed the door and meticulously followed the instructions written in the book.

Three days later, Lu Zhengliu returned.

Having fought with the family members, his clothes were torn, and seeing the lazy attitude of the people in the mansion made him even more furious.

"Where is the Eldest Young Master?" he thought, 'I should go see the eldest son first. In the future, the family's affairs will rely on Chang Gong.'

However, a maid came to deliver a message: "Master, Mistress Ge is requesting your presence."

"Her?" Lu Zhengliu's gaze turned icy.

If it weren't for Ge Bao'er... the Lu family wouldn't have ended up like this!

He had long wanted to deal with her, but he had been too busy until now.

"I'll go over right away."

Lu Zhengliu changed course and headed to Ge Bao'er's courtyard.

Ge Bao'er's courtyard was also desolate, showing signs of neglect.

Lu Zhengliu kicked the door open, startling Ge Bao'er. However, she had long known that this day would come. She sat calmly on the bed and said, "Master, I know you hate me, but it has come to this. Let's work together for the sake of the children."

"Children?" Lu Zhengliu sneered. "Look at what you've turned Qing'er into! Is he still my child? Only Chang Gong is my child!"

Ge Bao'er hadn't expected him to be so heartless.

She bit her lip and said, "He's just an adopted child. Qing'er is your biological son!"

Lu Zhengliu sneered, "In the future, the Lu family will rely solely on Chang Gong. That's why Chang Gong is my child."

Ge Bao'er's heart was pierced with pain. She knew her son was incompetent, while Lu Changgong showed promise. Realizing it wasn't the time to argue with Lu Zhengliu, she quickly suppressed her anger and spoke gently, "Master, in this critical moment for the survival of the Lu family, nurturing another child can only be beneficial."

Lu Zhengliu glanced at her.

Ge Ba'er couldn't hold back her tears. "Qing'er has been bewitched by that wretched girl, Xiaoxuan. She's not a good person! Qing'er doesn't listen to me anymore. Please make the decision to send Xiaoxuan away. Without her influence, Qing'er will be able to focus on his studies just like Chang Gong."

Lu Zhengliu laughed, a hearty laugh.

Ge Bao'er, feeling desperate, said, "Master, please... please pity Qing'er. After all, he is your biological son!"

Lu Zhengliu grabbed her by the throat, his eyes red with anger. "Are you still trying to manipulate me? Sending away a servant girl, how difficult could it be? You just want Qing'er to hate me."

"Before, you wanted Qing'er to hate Yunwan, and now you want him to hate me..."

"Ge Bao'er, why didn't I see through you earlier?"

Lu Zhengliu grit his teeth. "I won't send her away. If you're afraid the servant girl will ruin your son, then you should send her away yourself."

"This is your last chance. Once the servant girl is gone..."

He wouldn't keep her around either.

Ge Ba'er could barely catch her breath as Lu Zhengliu finally released her.

She collapsed on the ground, coughing, torn apart by her inner turmoil.

"If I send away Xiao Xuan, Qing'er will surely hate me..."

"But if I don't send away Xiao Xuan, she will surely ruin Qing'er!"

What should she choose?

After crying for a long time, Ge Bao'er made her decision. She wiped away her tears and told herself, "This is what it means to be a mother. Even until death, I'm still planning for my child... Parents' love is profound and far-reaching."

"Qing'er, even after I'm gone, I hope you'll remember a little of your mother's kindness. Burn some paper money for me on the fifteenth day of the seventh month."

After adjusting her clothes, Ge Bao'er, accompanied by her maid, went to Lu Chang Zong's courtyard to apprehend someone.

With the recent increase in the sale of servants, selling off one more, like Xiaoxuan, wouldn't be difficult.

"Lock the door and tie up Xiaoxuan!" she commanded.

Upon hearing the commotion, Xiaoxuan immediately locked the door and cried out in the courtyard, "Help! Second Young Master, help! Mistress wants to sell me off!"

The maid pounded on the door, frightening Xiaoxuan into tears.

The maid, with a menacing look, said, "Girl, surrender yourself! Today, you won't escape!"

Seeing that there was no sign of the Second Young Master returning anytime soon, Xiaoxuan pleaded with Ge Bao'er, saying, "Auntie, auntie, you can't sell me! I-I'm carrying the Second Young Master's child. Please, think of the child's sake..."

"Break down the door! Shut her mouth!" Ge Bao'er ordered.

Ge Bao'er was sweating coldly. "Wretched girl! You're carrying a bastard!"

Her Qing'er was only fourteen years old. How could he have a bastard son before marrying a legal wife?

She had suffered a lot already, and she wouldn't let her son and grandson suffer the same fate!

Filled with murderous intent, Ge Bao'er couldn't wait any longer to sell Xiaoxuan. She hastily instructed the maid, "Seize her! Strangle her to death in the room immediately!"

Xiaoxuan cried out in desperation, "Auntie Ge, you have such a cruel heart! I'm carrying the Second Young Master's legitimate child, your own grandson! Help me..."

It was too noisy, and both Zhuqing and Lu Chang Gong heard the commotion.

Zhuqing took Muer and went to find Lu Chang Gong. "Young Master, should we intervene?"

Lu Chang Gong said, "No need. We'll just open the door when Lu Chang Zong arrives with the officials."

Hearing that officials were coming, Zhuqing held Muer tightly.

Muer was scared too, clinging tightly to Zhuqing.

Zhuqing looked towards the courtyard and sighed, "Reaping what one sows. If Ge Bao'er had sincerely let Big Madam raise this child back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

"Young Master, the officials have arrived!" a maid came in and reported.

Lu Chang Gong nodded. "Let someone go and open the second door."

The fate of the Wu Ding Marquis's Mansion had come to an end.

Zhuqing couldn't help but lament, "I didn't expect the Second Young Master to be so ruthless, even accusing his own birth mother."
