Chapter 284 Let Lu Xun break free from family constraints! It's not worth it for Sun Quan.
Xuchang
Several carriages stopped in front of the Imperial Guard's residence.
Guo Jia sauntered down from the carriage, muttering to himself as he did so:
"Damn Su Ziyi, this time I've brought back a little beauty for him."
"If you don't give me more fine wine, this matter isn't over."
"Oh, isn't this Fengxiao?"
"How many tombs did you rob in Jiangdong?"
"The profits are pretty good, aren't they?"
Su Yu walked out of the mansion.
Two quarters of an hour ago, he received news that Guo Jia had entered the city.
To express his longing for Guo Jia (and his curiosity about Sun Ru), Su Yu naturally had to symbolically stand at the entrance of the Imperial Guard's residence to greet Guo Jia.
"Quickly, quick, do you have any good wine?"
"Guo is so craving it!"
"I really can't get used to the yellow wine from Jiangdong."
Upon seeing Su Yu appear, Guo Jia immediately asked for some fine wine.
As for Shaoxing wine, it is a specialty of some areas in Jiangdong.
The taste was certainly good, but Guo Jia, being from the north, genuinely couldn't get used to it.
Because transportation was not well-developed in that era, when traveling to other places, unless you brought your own, you could basically only drink local specialty wines.
So Guo Jia was naturally craving something delicious the whole way.
"Go, go, go! Here are twenty jars of fine wine for you. Hurry back to your residence and drink them."
"Watch out, don't drink yourself to death!"
Su Yu, with a look of disgust, directed his personal guards to bring wine to Guo Jia.
Drinking alcohol is good; it's better than constantly taking Wushi San (a traditional Chinese medicine).
"Okay, don't worry."
"Guo is very afraid of his life."
Guo Jia smiled and led his men to carry away the twenty jars of fine wine.
At the same time, he handed over the spoils of war from the carriage to Su Yu.
These spoils of war naturally refer to Lu Xun and Sun Ru.
Sun Ru was still young, so Su Yu comforted her a few times and then handed over the rest of the work to Cai Yan.
As a caring older sister, Cai Yan was likely able to successfully comfort Sun Ru, making her feel at home even though she was alone in a foreign land.
As for Lu Xun...
A man should strive to be strong!
Lifting the carriage curtain, Lu Xun faced Su Yu, who was smiling.
"My name is Lu Xun. I greet you, Commandant of the Guards."
After Guo Jia's "earnest teachings" along the way, Lu Xun no longer had the arrogance he had when he set fire to the forest.
At this moment, he understood that the power of life and death was entirely in Su Yu's hands.
"Young friend Boyan, there's no need for such formalities."
"Let's go to the study and have a chat with Su."
After saying that, Su Yu led Lu Xun to the study.
Of course, Xu Chu was with them the whole time.
Upon entering the study, Lu Xun, trembling with fear, bowed to Su Yu once more.
Su Yu ignored him and handed him a file.
"Here, this is the agreement that Sun Quan and your Lu family patriarch reached after you and Sun Ru were kidnapped."
It would have been better if he hadn't looked; after reading it, Lu Xun was dumbfounded!
So, since they couldn't find him, the old patriarch simply arranged for Lu Ji to marry the Sun family girl?
And then there's this Sun family girl, who went directly from being Sun Ben's daughter to becoming Sun Quan's adopted daughter, completely disregarding the subjective wishes of Lu Ji and the Sun family girl themselves.
no……
Is Lu Xun some lowly cat or dog?
Was he easily replaced?
Indeed, while enjoying abundant family resources, scions of prominent families are also taught to prioritize the family in everything they do.
But putting those factors aside...
Lu Xun at this moment is just a young man who was inexplicably forced into a marriage and had his coming-of-age ceremony brought forward!
The idea of sacrificing everything for the family is placed on him too heavy a burden in advance.
Su Yu instructed Guo Jia to take the opportunity to kidnap Lu Xun from Jiangdong, not only because Lu Xun was a talented person.
Furthermore, Lu Xun's original historical destiny was truly too tragic.
He made countless contributions to Eastern Wu. In his later years, he couldn't stand Sun Quan's insistence on expanding the scope of the conflict between the two palaces, so he submitted a memorial to Sun Quan to advise him. As a result, Sun Quan accused him of trying to interfere in the internal affairs of the Sun family.
So what did Sun Quan do?
One letter a day, each day with a different one, delivered by special envoys to Lu Xun's residence, emphasizing efficient delivery and racing against time!
Good guy!
Actually, the first person to deliver packages was Sun Quan!
The contents of the letters were all insults directed at Lu Xun.
After more than forty consecutive days, Lu Xun broke down.
Lu Xun eventually passed away in melancholy.
From then on, Jiangdong lost its last trustworthy commander.
As for Lu Xun's son, Lu Kang, he certainly had the ability.
But Lu Kang is a pure actor, a very pure actor.
He harbored deep hatred for the Sun family regime, but due to family ties, he had no choice but to serve them.
Ultimately, Sun Quan's manipulation of Lu Xun stemmed primarily from his unwavering belief that Lu Xun would not betray Jiangdong.
Because after the establishment of Eastern Wu, the four great families of Jiangdong were already highly bound to Sun Quan, and could not extricate themselves from him.
To save his family, Lu Xun had no choice but to atone with his death.
nowadays.
Su Yu chose to help Lu Xun face reality sooner rather than later.
Was it really worth it to be a victim of one's family and have one's life manipulated?
"Young friend Boyan, I won't force you."
"Think carefully about how to make a decision."
"Perhaps this letter is not enough for you to get rid of your family."
"But you should think more about yourself."
"Was it all worth it?"
"If you pretend to join my Cao camp, that's fine too."
"First, Su will find a way to kill you."
"Furthermore, your family will certainly allow you to take advantage of the situation, but they will not prioritize your safety."
"Even if you die, as long as your undercover identity hasn't been exposed, they will send in a new undercover agent to replace you!"
After saying that, Su Yu left the study, leaving Xu Chu staring at Lu Xun, wide-eyed.
This was also to prevent Lu Xun from having a moment of despair and choosing to end his own life.
Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.
But to attack someone's spirit is a truly ruthless act!
If Lu Xun can't get past this hurdle, Su Yu won't use him.
They'll also ruthlessly destroy flowers—oops, ruthlessly destroy cattle and horses.
If that's too much, then we'll sever ties with the Lu family of Jiangdong.
There's nothing wrong with keeping a separate family tree.
As for Sun Ru, since Lu Xun is no longer a member of the Lu family, there is naturally no marriage agreement between them.
Having multiple maids named Sun Ru in my Su Yu household isn't a big problem.
