?Chapter 316: Chapter 313: Advice to the Death_1 Chapter 316: Chapter 313: Advice to the Death_1 “Father, there is something strange about this matter…” Lu Yuanpeng sat under the glazed lantern, half of his body leaning on the armrest, fingers rubbing the corner of his clothes. “When you handed this matter to me, I thought it was no big deal. So, I sent a steward to settle it with some silver. Coincidentally, Lin’s mother and the doctor from Pingan Hall were also extorting some silver. I didn’t investigate thoroughly and just gave it to them, hoping to resolve the matter quickly!”
Prime Minister Lu closed his eyes and replied, “We have had it too easy in the Lu Mansion these past few years. This is why you have forgotten my advice: Be vigilant in times of peace; think diligently about everything.”
Lu Yuanpeng stood up and bowed to make an apology. “It was my fault!”
“The officials responsible for the Imperial College were called into the palace to review papers. The students have nothing to do and want to find some trouble!” Lu San held a grudge against the students of the Imperial College. “What did our Lu family do to offend them?”
“This incident serves as a wake-up call for our Lu family. Be more attentive in handling matters in the future!” Prime Minister Lu lowered his eyes and stared at the tea leaves floating in his cup. “The neighbors learned of Lin Xinan’s death only after Mrs. Lin went to beat the drum of injustice… What kind of mother, upon her son’s death, did not cry in hysteria to alarm the neighbors but calmly and methodically went to the Imperial College to get students to write a petition? Then, she instigated the students to accompany her to beat the drum of injustice…”
The Lu Mansion had begun investigating Lin Xinan from the moment Lu Yuanpeng made a scene at Fanque Tower. Lin Xinan’s family lived in Xiling County. His father was a County Magistrate, and his mother had once accepted bribes, nearly causing his father to lose his office. In rage, his father divorced her and remarried. The stepmother treated Lin Xinan indifferently. Later, Lin Xinan studied at the Imperial College, and his birth mother moved to Dadu City, renting a house to accompany Lin Xinan in his studies.
Lin Xinan’s mother had only this one son. Despite her son’s calamity, she was so calm… unlike an ordinary woman.
