Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1399

Chapter 1399: Chapter 1394: Feelings of Admiration

As for Bai Qingyan’s punishment, Cheng Yuanzhi and the others had no objections, knelt down, kowtowed, and thanked her grace, then received their military sticks inside Wude Gate.

After receiving the punishment, Cheng Yuanzhi dragged his blood-soaked body, shouting to see Bai Qingyan to plead guilty, but no matter how he kowtowed, Bai Qingyan was unwilling to meet him.

A group of people stalemated inside Wude Gate for a long time... until Wei Zhong intervened, and only then did Cheng Yuanzhi and the others properly kowtow and were carried back home to recuperate.

Lu Yuanpeng’s mother almost fainted from crying upon seeing her son beaten and returned with torn skin and flesh. She wanted to hit Lu Yuanpeng but couldn’t bring herself to do so. She could only poke Lu Yuanpeng’s forehead with red eyes after the doctor applied the medicine when he was carried back to his place: "You! You follow that General Cheng in such nonsense! All the good rewards... and the good General’s position are gone! What did you gain from this?"

Who knew that before Lu Yuanpeng’s mother could finish scolding, Commandant Lu rushed angrily into Lu Yuanpeng’s courtyard, pointing at Lu Yuanpeng and scolding him for a long time, then upon seeing Lu Yuanpeng’s injuries, said: "You recover properly, once you’re healed... go and kneel in the ancestral hall for me!"

With that, Commandant Lu flicked his sleeves and left.

Lu Yuanpeng’s father, chastised by his own elder, stood aside without daring to speak, and only upon seeing Commandant Lu flick his sleeves to leave did he hurry to bow deeply and respectfully see him off.

"Father..." Lu Yuanpeng looked pitifully at his father, "Father, you have to save your son! Last night, I kneeled all night at the Imperial Palace, almost breaking my legs! I don’t want to kneel in the ancestral hall again!"

"You little beast! You have the nerve to say that!" Lu Yuanpeng’s father was furious, "You say you came back, you should have stayed in the barracks even if you didn’t return home! Why did you get into trouble with Cheng Yuanzhi! All the fine rewards and good position are gone now! You might as well kneel to death in the ancestral hall!"

"What kind of words are those!" Lu Yuanpeng’s mother, distressed for her son, didn’t dare to vent her anger on her own father-in-law, so she let it out on her husband, "Our son is injured like this, and you don’t care at all, even wanting him to kneel to death in the ancestral hall! You might as well take my life along with his!"

"A doting mother raises a spoiled son! A doting mother raises a spoiled son! Yuanpeng is spoiled by you!" Lu Yuanpeng’s father was exasperated, looking at his wife and son, only to feel utterly weary inside, "If Yuanpeng only affected himself, that would be one thing! Yuanqing is returning soon. If because of this brat’s antics, Yuanqing’s future is affected... you’ll cry but have no tears then!"

This morning, Lu Yuanpeng’s father was called over by his own elder brother Lu Jinxian, who explained the seriousness of the situation...

Lu Jinxian confessed to his younger brother that the abilities of the three brothers were not as good as their father, and they could never achieve their father’s status and glory in this lifetime. Now their father was focusing on promoting Lu Jin. In the future, the position of Commandant might belong to Lu Jin, who would undoubtedly reciprocate. Looking at the Lu family, the most capable is Lu Yuanqing.

Although Lu Fenglang is impressive, he entered service late and does not have Lu Yuanqing’s achievements. At a young age, Lu Yuanqing has made remarkable achievements with the implementation of new laws in Hancheng, with an unlimited future ahead, even having the chance for the Lu family to boast of having a grandparent and grandchild both as Commandant. But all of this hinges on the Lu family remaining loyal to the emperor and not provoking or opposing him.
