In the main hall of the Eastern Palace, the three siblings all had somewhat serious expressions.

After a long silence, Zhu Yunwen finally nodded and said:

“That’s right. My mother’s death back then, and my sudden illness that night, including the assassinations I encountered later, are all related to Lady Lü. We really can’t just let it go like this.”

Princess Jiangdu looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:

“Third brother, you’re very capable now, you can take revenge. This vicious woman is definitely the one who killed our mother, and she’s also the one who caused you to have a sudden and severe attack that night, almost killing you. She’s been bullying us all these years. We’ve decided we can’t let this go.”

Zhu Yunwen nodded seriously and said:

"Alright, Third Brother promises you, Third Brother will definitely handle this matter. And right now, Third Brother will make the Lü family repay all of this."

Both girls smiled excitedly. They had understood some things and made some guesses when they were young.

The seeds of hatred have already been sown deep within us.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen cannot let them down. Even they know that they want revenge, so how can Zhu Yunwen not take this matter to heart?

Then, he took a slow breath and said:

"In that case, Lady Lü, you may prepare your coffin."

Next, Zhu Yunwen began to plan how to kill Lady Lü. However, Lady Lü was also thinking of ways to help Zhu Yunwen get rid of Zhu Yunwen.

The Lü family was even more eager to deal with Zhu Yongtong.

She realized that if she didn't get rid of Zhu Yunwen quickly, his power would only grow stronger.

Not only will they deal with some of Zhu Yunwen's civil officials, but they will also replace them all with Zhu Yunwen's men.

As a result, Zhu Yunwen's performance will become weaker and weaker, and the opportunities for future replays will become smaller and smaller.

Therefore, while helping Zhu Yunwen to network among civil officials and consolidate his relationships, Lady Lü also used more of her savings to find江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people from all walks of life) to prepare to kill Zhu Yunwen.

If we can kill Zhu Yunwen, then all the troubles will be over and all the problems will be solved.

If not, then the relationship that Lady Lü helped Zhu Yunwen maintain was enough to allow Zhu Yunwen to continue his struggle against Zhu Yunwen.

Outside the capital, there was a secluded inn. It wasn't in a bustling area, but in a place that most ordinary people would never go.

Because this inn is not a normal inn.

It was a place where people from the martial arts world often gathered.

They weren't receiving ordinary people, but rather people from the martial arts world. Even ordinary martial arts practitioners wouldn't dare come to such a place.

Because it's too chaotic here, there are no laws, no rules, whoever is strong is the rule.

The only thing that works here is money.

Lady Lü arrived with two subordinates, carrying a box of gold and silver jewelry.

This is the place he found out after making inquiries.

Upon arriving at the inn, I glanced outside and saw that the inn's name was Wuminglou (Nameless Tower).

Lady Lü narrowed her eyes and said to one of her subordinates behind her:

Are you sure this is the place?

The subordinate nodded and said, "That's for sure. When I was traveling around, I often came here to do some business."

The business he was talking about was the business of江湖人士 (jianghu figures), and the business of江湖人士 (jianghu figures) is not legitimate business.

Lady Lü nodded, and then the subordinate stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A voice came from behind the door:

"Closed for today, we're shut down!"

However, the subordinate spoke up:

"Businesses have to be run even when they're closed!"

Shortly after he said that, the door was opened.

The waiter who opened the door was a man with a face full of scars and a terrifying appearance.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that this was no ordinary waiter; even Madam Lü became somewhat nervous.

However, being royalty, they had seen their share of grand occasions, so they quickly regained their composure and went straight into the inn.

His two subordinates followed closely behind. After entering, the scarred waiter asked:

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Before Lady Lü could speak, his subordinate behind him said:

"Of course we have to eat meat, the best meat."

The waiter then asked, "Meat is fine, but how much would you like to pay for?"

The subordinate then said, "The price is negotiable, a thousand taels of silver. If we can get the best meat, even ten thousand taels of silver wouldn't be a problem."

Lady Lü was somewhat surprised, not understanding why her subordinates wanted to eat meat.

Little did she know, this was coded language.

If you enter this inn and say you want to eat meat, it means you want to hire someone to do a murder business.

If someone is a vegetarian, then they've come to ask someone to do something other than murder.

Whether you eat vegetarian or meat, you must first quote a price. The price quoted by your subordinates ranges from one thousand taels of silver to tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This allows everyone in the inn to determine how much the task is worth.

So after his subordinate finished speaking, a glint flashed in the eyes of the scarred waiter, who said:

"So you're a big client. Please come upstairs and have a seat."

After we sat down in the rather luxurious private room on the second floor, the waiter began to speak:

"Do you want the designated chopsticks, or would you like to choose chopsticks one by one?"

The word "chopsticks" here is also slang, referring to an assassin.

The subordinate said, "We don't know which pair of chopsticks can pick up this piece of meat, so we have to bring them up one by one to see. Otherwise, if your chopsticks can't even pick up this piece of meat, wouldn't that be a waste of time?"
