With her dual plant and beast-mastery superpowers, Lu Wanyin is reborn back to her wedding night. Her husband is a general, strong and well-built. Unfortunately, the next day the new emperor orders...
Chapter 296 Hou Yuanji has grown up
At this time, the news that the exile team was about to leave the country had also reached the capital.
But it was obvious that none of the bigwigs in the capital cared about such a small matter.
They are all going crazy.
The whole capital city has become a little abnormal.
Everyone is extremely busy.
The Marquis of Chenyang’s Mansion is extremely bustling.
"My Lord, please make the decision for Rou'er!"
Madam Lu hugged Lu Xiangrou and cried, "Rou'er is the legitimate daughter of our Marquis' Mansion. She has lost her reputation just like that. If this gets out, how will she live the rest of her life?"
Not far from them, Wang Fugui, who had always been well-mannered, had an ugly expression on his face and his clothes were loose.
His gloomy gaze fell on the pitiful Lu Xiangrou: "What happened yesterday, I haven't found out yet, Madam Lu is pestering me like this..."
Wang Fugui always likes to use humble terms in front of others.
This time he rarely called himself "this official" because he was angry.
Others are afraid of him, but Mrs. Lu is not afraid at all.
Not to mention that she has the support of the eldest princess, even the Chenyang Marquis' Mansion is not something Wang Fugui can touch whenever he wants.
He hasn't really become the head of the Wang family yet.
Mrs. Lu stared at Wang Fugui with hatred: "If Mr. Wang didn't do anything to my daughter, why did his belt appear in my daughter's room, and why did it appear in my daughter's hands?"
This sentence seemed to remind Lu Xiangrou. She clenched the belt in her hand, buried her face in Madam Lu's arms, and cried bitterly: "Mother, my daughter has suffered such a great humiliation. I don't want to live anymore."
Lu Xiangrou had long lost her innocence and her face was disfigured. It was impossible for her to marry into a good family in the future.
During this period, the Chenyang Marquis Mansion has been recruiting many extraordinary doctors.
Unfortunately, the money Lu Wanyin had taken out from his house was not enough to treat Chen Yanghou's lifeblood. How could he find a real miracle doctor?
Marquis Chenyang was helpless and went to the palace for help, and only then did they invite the imperial physician.
Unfortunately, the treatment was delayed for a few days and the imperial physician was unable to cure the injuries on Lu Xiangrou's face.
In addition, the palace pharmacy was also emptied, and the horrific scar on Lu Xiangrou's face was left forever.
Since my face is beyond saving, I still have to cover up the loss of my innocence.
After Mrs. Lu sent someone to deal with the servant, she discussed the matter with Lu Xiangrou for a long time.
The two of them planned to find an opportunity to pick a young man from a good family, get him into bed, and deny his innocence.
If I ask the eldest princess to put pressure on me, maybe I can marry her and become her legal wife.
But before they could choose a suitable candidate, Wang Fugui showed up at their doorstep.
This is Wang Fugui.
Xie Jingci is the most popular young man in Beijing among women. He has been away from Beijing for many years, and no one can surpass Wang Fugui.
From the golden branches and jade leaves in the palace to the daughters of peddlers and hawkers, who doesn't want to marry Wang Fugui?
Even when they were discussing who to take over, they didn't dare to think of him.
Mrs. Lu felt ruthless.
Although I don’t know why the eldest son of the Wang family, who has always had a mediocre relationship with the Chenyang Marquis’ Mansion, suddenly came to visit, but since he is here, we must not let him run away.
Marquis Chenyang was extremely conflicted.
He looked at Wang Fugui in embarrassment: "Master Wang, look at this..."
Given Lu Xiangrou's current situation, it is indeed difficult for her to find a good marriage.
In the past, he would have definitely facilitated Mrs. Lu's plan without hesitation.
But now…
Judging from the Wang family’s current situation, it’s really a bit dangerous.
Not far away, someone seemed to laugh twice.
Unfortunately, the people in the yard were too busy and no one heard it.
Outside the courtyard wall.
Hou Yuanji had his mouth covered by Wu Fan, and on the other side stood an expressionless man in black.
"Sir, please restrain yourself."
It was winter, and Wu Fan was so scared that he was sweating profusely.
He quietly poked half of his head out from the top of the wall and confirmed that the people inside had not discovered them, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He pointedly reminded: "What if it is exposed and the important work is delayed?"
Ever since he returned from the palace gate that day, Hou Yuanji had been sending people to keep an eye on Wang Fugui, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
The capital has been in turmoil recently, and Mr. Hou paid a high price to hire an expert to protect Hou Yuanji.
In order to sneak in smoothly, he directly asked a master to be a sedan bearer, and let him take the two of them to climb over the eaves and walls and sneak into the Mansion of Marquis Chenyang.
"It's okay, it's okay. The Chenyang Marquis's Mansion is very poor now. There are only a few guards left. They can't be found."
Hou Yuanji managed to hold back his laughter with great difficulty, but when he thought of Wang Fugui's expression inside, he almost couldn't hold it back again.
"Master... cough, that person said that Lu Xiangrou has been hanging out with the servants in the mansion for many times, and now she is pretending to be a chaste and heroic woman."
He shook his head and sighed, "I really didn't expect them to come up with this idea. They wanted Wang Fugui to be the green-headed turtle. It seems that I have to help him."
When Wu Fan saw Hou Yuanji's evil look, he knew that the people under him were in trouble again.
In the past, Lord Hou would only expose bad things and stir up trouble everywhere, for fear that others would not know that it was his doing.
After learning from my master for a while, I now like to do things in secret.
It had only been a short time since I returned to Beijing, and the entire city was turned upside down.
But someone suspected Hou Yuanji, a playboy with a good reputation.
Oh no, Lord Hou really needs to use his brain.
Hou Yuanji stroked his chin, thought for a long time, and his eyes lit up: "You go in a while and tell everyone that Lu Xiangrou and Wang Fugui have been sleeping together. Then, the Marquis of Chenyang will have no way out. Isn't the Wang family now unable to defeat the Qi Xuanhou Mansion and the Queen? Let's find them a helper."
Wu Fan glanced nervously at the expert beside him and began to sweat again: "Sir, please don't talk nonsense, what about Qi Xuanhou Mansion, the Queen..."
There is a third person here. Who knows where Mr. Hou found this expert?
Hou Yuanji was silent.
He sighed: "Because of this, I actually forgot about this."
His hand hidden in his sleeve moved slightly.
The next moment, the man in black suddenly raised his hand and stared at the snake that was biting his hand.
Hou Yuanji sighed helplessly, "What a waste of a good master! When I get back, I can only tell Grandpa that he was discovered and silenced by the Wang family."
Wu Fan looked at Hou Yuanji in shock.
Are you so decisive?
He quickly jumped down from the wall, ready to catch the falling body of the man in black at any time to avoid making too much noise.
Then.
He saw the man in black calmly pinch the little snake off and casually wipe the bite wound on his hand.
He took out a very familiar detoxification pill from his sleeve and swallowed it.
Finally, he looked at Hou Yuanji and said, "One of us."
Hou Yuanji and Wu Fan felt like they were struck by lightning at the same time.
My brain is a little bit insufficient again.
Now that the truth has been revealed, the man in black will no longer pretend.
He took out a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil from his arms, and while recording the situation in the yard, he explained in a low voice to Hou Yuanji and the others.
"I'm Di Qi, in charge of the affairs of the capital. A few days ago, I received a message from my master, ordering us to select two people to cooperate with you."
