After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 500 is already considered a favoritism.

"But when did Mingye start cooperating so closely with Wangshen?"

Old Master Lu suddenly raised his aged eyelids, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he stared directly at Lu Dingzuo.

Lu Dingzuo was startled.

It's impossible to rely on your father getting senile...

"What cooperation?"

He wasn't pretending to be stupid; it's just that Lu Mingye and Lu Wangshen basically never bothered to explain their actions to him.

Lu Wangshen was none of his business, and in fact, he didn't care about him at all.

After all, he was disabled; no matter how hard he tried, he could only tumble around on the ground a couple of times.

Lu Wangshen is a winner in life if he can stand up again.

As for Lu Mingye... this act of acting first and informing later shows that Lu Mingye has long stopped seeking his opinion when making decisions.

Lu Dingzuo initially attempted to interfere, but it turned out that Lu Mingye was much better at handling things than him, and he eventually gave up after being persuaded by his third concubine.

After all, if he were good enough, he should have inherited the Lu family long ago, instead of failing to compete with his father and then turning around to compete with his son. It would have been better to just wait for things to go smoothly.

Therefore, Lu Dingzuo genuinely has no idea what kind of collaboration the two have.

Old Master Lu closed his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head. "Go ahead."

"Yes."

Lu Dingzuo didn't say much, turned around and left, intending to ask Lu Mingye about this matter.

As a result, he didn't have a chance to ask until the following evening.

Because the third concubine deliberately avoided him, and Lu Mingye was not there, the fifth, seventh, and ninth concubines all came to find him.

And then there's the eighth concubine, who's under house arrest, trying to reach him remotely...

Lu Dingzuo might become a rising star in the Lu family... No, it's just that in the current situation, the old master is avoiding him, and as a result, Lu Dingzuo has become busy again after a long time.

He was busy as he was, but it was all trivial stuff. For example, he had no idea why the fifth concubine had come to him to arrange a marriage for her cousin.

Although the fifth concubine hinted at a quid pro quo, he couldn't make that decision himself.

Moreover, I heard that her cousin Gu Qingchuan wanted to pursue Ye Wanyin's best friend. Shouldn't this matter be addressed directly to Ye Wanyin? This is a matter for their private household, why bring it to his attention!

Lu Dingzuo now almost regrets using the term "inner quarters" to mock his sixth aunt.

The seventh concubine asked him to take care of Lu Dongli, and the reason was as bizarre as the seventh concubine's claim that she would not participate in the power struggles within the family. Lu Mingye was pursuing Ye Sanqing, and Yecheng was Ye's territory. Lu Dongli was studying at university there, so he should naturally receive the Ye family's care.

Even Lu Dingzuo wanted to complain. It's his son chasing after her, not the other way around! Is he crazy?!

But he couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would make Lu Mingye seem like he had no hope.

Lu Dingzuo had no objection to Ye Sanqing, and even thought that Lu Mingye's move was good.

Indeed, since he is a man of the Lu family, he certainly doesn't believe that Lu Mingye has any true love for the other party, let alone love at first sight, which is simply impossible.

It can only be said that Lu Mingye found the right partner. He doesn't care about sincerity or pretense. Seeing that Old Master Lu was very satisfied, he knew that Lu Mingye's position was secure.

Therefore, he must not appear weak. When the Seventh Concubine says she is asking for help, she may actually be testing him. If he shows any weakness, she will definitely bite him like a venomous snake.

Lu Dingzuo temporarily fobbed the issue by using the excuse that he needed to "discuss it with Mingye."

Seventh Concubine believed it for the time being, because she actually knew that Lu Dingzuo couldn't make decisions for Lu Mingye, and he was right, Seventh Concubine was testing him.

Actually, besides testing the waters, the real intention was to get Lu Dongli connected with the Ye family, preferably with Ye Yifan.

If Lu Mingye can do it, why can't Lu Dongli try?

I heard that the eldest sister of the Ye family likes to collect young, handsome men. Isn't Fu Shao Chen someone she has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with...?

At this moment, the Seventh Concubine had no idea that Lu Dongli had already met the other party, or even that he had offended someone. If she had known, she would have flown to Yecheng immediately, and even if she had to grab his ear, she would have forced him to apologize.

It's useless, though.

The Eighth Concubine's matter was minor; she wasn't specifically targeting him, but rather harassing everyone equally, trying to get them to plead with the Old Master to release her.

What a joke! This is simply offensive to the guests. Even if the intention is good, you should at least test the waters first.

And you should be more polite. What kind of behavior is it to just go to someone's bed and wait there?

Such rudeness! Even being confined is an act of favoritism from the old master.

Indeed, Lu Dingzuo believed that no man could resist this approach, so his focus was on how undignified the matter was, rather than on whether it should have been done at all.

Moreover, judging from the tone of the eighth concubine, she didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.

Lu Dingzuo was extremely annoyed and immediately went to ask the logistics staff if they could turn off her network.

The logistics personnel pulled out the jammer, and then the world became quiet again.

Although Lu Dingzuo was unaware that Ye Sanqing had said that only banning the internet and mobile phones could constitute confinement, he still managed to achieve this goal by a twist of fate.

As for the Ninth Concubine... she's alright, she's just looking for attention on a daily basis.

It seems he got the short end of the stick from Ye Sanqing before and is now picking fights everywhere... Lu Dingzuo could only say, "You're eating well!"

The ninth concubine is older than his daughter, yet he calls her "stepmother," which is truly infuriating.

Of course, the fact that he keeps a mistress on the side is another matter entirely.

Although he didn't know why none of his lovers had borne him any children, leaving him with no choice but to rely on Lu Mingye, he insisted on finding young lovers! It had nothing to do with having children!

At this moment, Lu Dingzuo inexplicably felt that he could empathize with his father, so his attitude towards the Ninth Concubine became relatively mild.

So he spent the day like that, during which he also looked at Xingxuan's story online and scoffed at it.

This matter is nothing compared to the Lu family's affair. As expected of the entertainment industry, even a small thing can be made to sound like a bloody storm and a world-changing event.

Besides, if there weren't places like Starry Night, where would wealthy men like them go to find minor celebrities to keep them if they had such needs?

Although it's possible to find a lover in many places, it's still more prestigious to take a minor celebrity out.

Meanwhile, they also continued to deal with the remnants of the Sixth Concubine's faction.

Actually, they weren't really remnants of the gang. They were just women whose husbands had worked for casinos and gone to jail, leaving behind a widow and her children... Oh, they weren't dead yet, maybe that's not the right way to put it, but that's pretty much the case.

Lu Dingzuo dismissed the person who was trying to gain sympathy, but then the Ninth Concubine came again.

He assumed it would be the same old routine of making his presence known, so he prepared to use the same usual excuses to get rid of her.

"Dingzuo, help my brother!"
