In his later years, his wife Fan Yi was very unruly, and his son kept him at a respectful distance. He always feels unhappy and lonely in his family life, so he misses Lu Shiping to make up for the emptiness of his soul and release his spirit. In fact, his nostalgia is cheap and very selfish. So when he knew that Lu Shiping was Ma Lu in front of him, his expression changed immediately, so that he finally showed a fierce face, dismissed Sifeng and Gui Lu, and dismissed Lu Dahai, claiming? Lujia people are never allowed to come to Lujia again. ?
