The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 362

"What's there to divide? What's there to allot?"

"She herself has no shame, and you're still worried about her losing face?! Does she even have any face left?!"

Lu Zongguang had come out of the army. Even now in his old age, his fiery temper remained unchanged. When faced with his weak Second Uncle, Lu Zongguang could only shut his mouth.

Lu Zongkang felt helpless, but for the things his younger sister had done, he also did not know what to say.

"Are you satisfied? Now your white knight has come. If you agree, you can roll away with him!"

"Do you think this is still when Father and Mother were around, when everyone indulged you and had to cater to you?"

"This loss of face is one that you've brought upon yourself! Who do you blame? How dare you hit your daughter-in-law, do you even have any shame? Lu Zheng?"

Lu Zongguang felt he still hadn't vented enough anger. He turned to Lu Zheng and unleashed another torrent of verbal abuse interspersed with threats.

Listening to this, Rong Dai's ears rang. Lu Zongguang's roars echoed throughout the hospital ward.

"It's just as well. Old Madam, Shao Ting, you two don't need to meddle anymore. She has gotten dividends from the Lu family all these years. She won't starve."

"Let her get lost! Go as far as she wants, just stop plaguing the Huo family!"

"You guys just carry on with your lives however you want! I won't bother about her anymore either. All these years, who could control her anyway?"

"Since she likes her white knight, let her go be with that little punk surnamed Yin! None of us needs to bother!"

After Lu Zongguang had finished his tirade and scolded to his heart's content, he finally sat down, panting.

Rong Dai watched quietly from the side. Other than Little Sister-In-Law and Little Uncle who still seemed stunned, everyone else in the room knew very clearly that there was no possibility of Mother-In-Law Lu Zheng staying in the Huo family anymore.

But this was also where Eldest Uncle's intelligence lay.

Mother-In-Law Lu Zheng was one of their own, and while she had wronged the Huo family, she was still their own flesh and blood in the end.

Even if she was to be punished, it had to be with their agreement.

And with Eldest Uncle taking the lead to scold Mother-In-Law, even if Old Madam now had the heart to chase Mother-In-Law out of the Huo residence, she would still have to consider everyone's face.

Such an embarrassing matter had occurred, and something surely had to be done.

But as for what exactly would be done, it wasn't simply for the Huo family alone to decide.

Things had already progressed to this stage. This was no longer merely the Huo family's private affairs.

What Rong Dai could think of, Old Madam naturally could as well. She looked deeply at Lu Zongguang, then shot a glance at Huo Shao Ting. Her voice was heavy as she asked him, "Shao Ting, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

Seeing that Old Madam was feigning ignorance, Lu Zongguang also felt a little helpless in his heart.

He had "struck first" in the hopes of buying some time for his troublesome little sister.

What was done was already done, and so many years had passed too. He knew very well what kind of person his little sister had been since she was young. If she were truly chased out of Shengjing City, how could she possibly survive out there alone?

No matter how disobedient she was, no matter how grave her mistakes, as her elder brother, while he was furious, he still had to protect her.

Yet now this concerned his eldest grand-nephew, a thorn that had been in the boy's heart for so many years.

And Old Madam did not seem intent on compromising either....

Lu Zongguang sighed inwardly. This matter could now only resign itself to fate.

"Shao Ting, while your mother is in the wrong, she didn't do it intentionally."

"We have no intention of shielding her either. This is us in the Lu family wronging the Ho family for failing to discipline your mother properly."

"But now at such an age, she has lived in Shengjing her whole life. While she can leave the Huo family, I won't disagree on that, but she cannot leave Shengjing."

After realizing his big brother's intentions behind that bout of ranting and raving earlier, Lu Zongkang pushed up the spectacles on his nose and slowly replied, his words full of gravity.
