One of the bodyguards who had just taken Meng Ji away was guarding the door.
Seeing Second Master Lu coming, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Second Master, Madam is at the pavilion."
The master has ordered that whenever the second master comes, he should be taken to the pavilion.
Lu Ye's face was so gloomy that he wanted to shed tears.
After bypassing the bodyguards, he headed towards the water pavilion in the front yard.
Chen Mu ran behind him. Lu Ye was tall and had long legs.
Lu Ye walked, he could only run.
When he walked around the corner, Lu Ye heard the hearty laughter of his old man.
Lu Ye frowned and walked over quickly.
Lifting the bamboo curtain, he saw Meng Ji's face was rosy and his eyebrows were full of smiles.
The wooden table was filled with exquisite Chinese snacks and various drinks. Looking up again, there were some broken desserts on the corner of her mouth.
Meng Ji was holding a half-bitten pastry in his hand. When he saw him coming, the smile on his face stopped.
It seemed that he didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
"How are you, girl? I said he will arrive in less than an hour." The old man of the Lu family smiled like a naughty boy, covering up the solemn aura on his body.
Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked over and sat down next to Meng Ji, reaching out his hand to wipe the crumbs of dessert from the corner of her mouth.
Facing his elders, Meng Ji unnaturally avoided Lu Ye's intimate actions.
Lu Ye didn't care and poured a glass of water into her teacup and handed it to her.
"Drink some water, don't choke."
After doing everything thoughtfully, he raised his head and focused his eyes on the old man, with displeasure in his eyes.
"Grandpa." He said hello.
The old man of the Lu family pursed his lips and shook his head, looking at the worthless look on this kid's face.
"Is it fun here?" Lu Ye gently put the broken hair on Meng Ji's face behind his ears with a gentle gesture.
Meng Ji avoided his touch, while grandpa still looked at the two of them.
"It's fun," she said sincerely.
It's really fun.
The scenery is beautiful, the desserts are delicious, anywhere is good.
Lu Ye saw her careless look, with a faint smile in his eyes.
He was worried about her being bullied by her grandfather in the car, but here she was eating and drinking, and chatting happily with her grandfather.
"You came so quickly, are you afraid that I will sell your wife?"
"Grandpa, if you want to see me Wan Wan, you can tell me, why do you bring people to the old house without making any noise?"
"Did you come back to see me once when you got married?" The old man was displeased.
Lu Ye pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Chen Mu hurried over and bowed respectfully in the direction of Mr. Lu, "Master."
"Take Madam for a walk." Lu Ye stood up and ordered Chen Mu.
Chen Mu looked at the three people present and felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he quickly agreed.
Meng Ji looked up and saw Lu Ye frowning and sitting still.
"Little girl, go and have a look in the garden. The scenery there is very good." Mr. Lu smiled at her.
Seeing that the two of them really seemed to have something to say.
Meng Ji nodded, stood up and followed Chen Mu to the back garden.
Seeing the two people's backs gradually disappearing, the smile on Mr. Lu's face faded and he looked serious.
He deliberately kept a straight face.
"Kneel down."
The cane made a heavy sound when it touched the wooden floor.
Lu Ye raised his chin slightly and knelt on the ground silently.
"Do you know why?" Mr. Lu asked him.
Seeing Lu Ye didn't speak, he sighed in disappointment and continued.
"The first motto of the Lu family is to be magnanimous."
The way Lu Ye ran over panting just now was completely incompatible with the heir to the Lu family he had trained.
What's more, the beastly things Lu Ye did to Meng Ji also made him really angry.
Just because he retired to the countryside didn't mean he was ignorant.
"Let Meng Ji go." The old man said slowly.
"I only recognize her as my wife." Lu Ye said calmly.
Regarding Meng Ji's excessive emotion, Lu Ye didn't think it was a mistake.
Hearing Lu Ye's words, Mr. Lu frowned fiercely.
"Since you have violated the family motto, you must be punished. Acheng, go ask for family punishment." Mr. Lu drank tea leisurely and calmly.
Mr. Lu waved his hand and motioned to the bodyguards around him.
Lu Ye knelt on the ground with a calm expression as usual.
He has grown up with Mr. Lu since he was a child. In total, Mr. Lu is more like a father in his heart.
He knew why grandpa did what he did today.
Isn't it just to denounce himself for Meng Ji?
But if he was asked to let Meng Ji leave like this, he would never agree.
A row of bodyguards in black came in from outside, holding short whips with spikes in their hands.
Mr. Lu stood up and walked to the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking at the fish swimming happily.
After all, he couldn't bear to treat Lu Ye like this.
But that girl should give her an explanation.
He turned his back to the kneeling Lu Ye and spoke slowly.
"Let's do it."
The man in black walked in from the side with a long whip in his hand and said to Lu Ye on the ground, "Second Master, I'm offended."
The whip hit Lu Ye's back, and the barbs caught the flesh.
He was pulled out by the bodyguard and hit again.
The whip was raised high, cutting through the wind and making a fierce sound.
Lu Ye only grunted the first time he was hit, and gritted his teeth the rest of the time without making any sound.
Mr. Lu turned around and looked at his appearance.
frown.
Still a tough guy.
Fifteen times, it will be over soon.
The bodyguard put away the whip and put it back into the exquisitely packaged wooden box.
Lu Ye put his hands on the ground and stood up slowly. The clothes on his back were torn along with the flesh, and it was bloody and miserable.
"is it wrong?"
"No." Lu Ye straightened his back and looked into the distance.
Mr. Lu paused.
Meng Ji's weight in Lu Ye's heart was heavier than he imagined.
In fact, he didn't really want to punish Lu Ye.
He just wanted to awaken Lu Ye's inner paranoia about Meng Ji in this way.
Lu Ye frowned.
There was a burning pain on his back, and he could even feel liquid sliding down his back.
He had to change clothes quickly, otherwise he would be frightened when he came back later.
"You will never get her love if you tie her up like this." The old man said calmly from behind him.
Lu Ye was shocked.
His tone was calm.
"Grandpa, even if she doesn't love me her whole life, I won't let her go."
"Unless I die."
