Upon hearing that it was His Highnesses An and the Fifth Prince who had invited him, and having roughly learned the ins and outs of the matter, Prefect Jia of the Capital immediately put aside his work and rushed over.
As soon as Lord Jia arrived, without saying a word, he ordered the yamen runners to lock up Madam Fang and Granny Wei.
At this moment, Fang had already fainted.
A large group of yamen runners rushed into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to arrest people, but they all left in no time. Old Madam Lu couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
"Mother!"
"grandmother!"
"Madam!"
There was a commotion in the front hall.
Old Master Hong immediately stepped forward to take Madam Lu's pulse: "Madam is fine. She is just upset and her heart is hurting. Move Madam to the Longevity Hospital. I will give her an acupuncture treatment. She will wake up in an hour."
The servants hurriedly escorted Madam Lu to her own courtyard.
With the testimonies of Wei's mother and her son, the truth behind the family annihilation case was finally revealed in court some time ago.
It turned out that after Madam Wei was "beaten to death," Fang became increasingly uneasy. After recovering from her illness, she went to find the servants who had guarded the courtyard where the Duke of Zhenguo had embezzled Lin's dowry, which had been sold by him.
She paid them a large sum of money to kill a few people for her.
After being sold off, no mansion dared to employ them. Penniless and on the verge of starvation, they immediately agreed to Fang's offer without hesitation.
That night, after having a hearty meal, they climbed over the wall and killed the entire family while they were asleep.
However, little did Fang know that Wei Mama's son had caused trouble by gambling and was arrested and imprisoned by the Jingzhao Prefecture, but he escaped unscathed.
Zhu Yu gritted his teeth. This round could barely be considered a win for the old fifth player.
As dusk fell, Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Dan got up to leave.
The Duke of Zhenguo was in a heavy mood. He could not possibly keep the two men for dinner at this time, so he had to apologize to them.
Let Lu Yucheng and Zhu Yu, brother and sister, escort the two princes.
Lu Yucheng felt very sad. He was five years old when his mother passed away. Although he didn't have a very deep impression of her, he had a vague memory of her.
Their mother was a gentle, kind, and beautiful woman, but she was murdered by the vicious woman Fang.
"Brother, let me see the two princes off. You take good care of Father."
Lu Yucheng nodded stiffly.
In the front hall, Zhu Yu was secretly berated by the Fang mother and her two daughters and Old Madam Lu, causing his score to rise by 500 points.
The number on the jade bracelet at this moment is 7,500.
Zhu Dan naturally saw it too. He was sitting opposite Lu Xiaoyun, and the red light on the ring on his finger was flashing. It was hard for him not to see it.
Knowing what kind of life Yun'er was living in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, he ordered his guards to find out the evidence as soon as possible so that those who harmed Yun'er's body could no longer harm her.
Furthermore, with Fang Shi around, it won't be so quick for Yun'er and Fourth Brother to switch back into their original bodies.
The three walked towards the gate of the mansion.
Lu Xiaoyun winked at Zhu Yu, indicating that she would come to see him that evening.
Zhu Yu shook his head at her, implying that she should wait a couple more days, as the old woman was likely to cause trouble today.
Zhu Dan noticed their flirtatious glances and smiled silently.
A large group of yamen runners had just arrived, and soon after they left with dozens of others. At this moment, a large number of onlookers had gathered at the gate of the mansion.
"The person who was just taken away seems to be Madam Lu, right?" someone asked in a low voice.
"That's right, it is Madam Fang, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. However, she is his second wife."
"What crime have we committed? Why are there so many officials here?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know. It seems this is a serious matter. Fang's personal maid has also been taken away."
The common people loved watching the spectacle of wealthy families, but Zhu Yu gave them a cold glance.
After being given such a cold glance by "Miss Lu," the group felt a chill run down their spines and quickly ran away.
Lu Xiaoyun boarded the carriage.
Zhu Dan arrived on horseback. He looked up at Lu Xiaoyun, who was standing on the carriage shaft, and said with a gentle smile, "Fourth Brother, would it be convenient for me to ride in your carriage? There are some things I need to discuss with you."
To get from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to the Prince of An's mansion, one must first pass by the Fifth Prince's mansion, which is indeed on the way.
However, Lu Xiaoyun knew that Zhu Yu was a jealous person.
And now, the onlookers have not gone far.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Zhu Yu immediately stomped down the steps and shouted, "Fifth Prince, I've heard you have a dragon..."
Zhu Dan, who had just stepped onto the carriage, immediately withdrew his foot and gave an embarrassed smile: "I'll ride a horse."
Ha, you're smart to know what's good for you!
Zhu Yu smiled, satisfied, and said to Jiang Chuan, who was driving the carriage, "Jiang Chuan, drive carefully and don't let just anyone get on."
Lu Xiaoyun chuckled softly, shook her head, and got into the car.
She now understood: Zhu Yu's name "Yu" contains the fire element, while Zhu Dan's name "Dan" contains the water element; the two were inherently incompatible.
The character "Yun" in Lu Xiaoyun's name contains the grass radical, which acts as adding fuel to the fire among them, so whenever the three of them are together, things will flourish without any effort.
Before she came into his life, Zhu Yu greatly admired Zhu Dan, and his study was filled with many of Zhu Dan's writings.
But now, even the most stale vinegar is about to be overturned by Zhu Yuquan.
Jiang Chuan was completely confused. He felt that the princess was good, but she was too hostile towards the Fifth Prince. In fact, the Fifth Prince was a pretty good person.
He said weakly, "Your Highness, the carriage is very spacious, and the Fifth Prince is tired. It won't hurt for him to sit for a while."
Zhu Yu glanced over indifferently.
The next instant, Jiang Chuan felt a sharp pain in his ankle. A small pebble had hit his leg without him noticing. Ouch, that hurt! Where did that pebble come from?
While rubbing his leg, the young attendant Jiang Chuan said recklessly, "Anyway, we have to go through the Fifth Prince's residence to get back to the Prince An's residence. If the Fifth Prince has something to discuss with the Prince, it will save time."
As a result, the next moment, Jiang Chuan was hit by a stone and fell off the car.
Now Jiang Chuan couldn't figure out where the pebble came from; the princess's martial arts were on the same level as the prince's, and he couldn't possibly beat her.
Then a cool voice said, "Xi Yi is still single, but I think Li Feng is a perfect match for him."
Jiang Chuan scrambled to his feet, patted his chest, and immediately admitted defeat, promising, "Yes, Your Highness, rest assured! I will not allow any man to get close to Your Highness."
Zhu Yu nodded in satisfaction: "No need for that. Men like Ayan and my brother are fine."
Jiang Chuan scratched his head, feeling that what he said sounded strange. Could it be that the princess was jealous of men as well as women?
"Then, Your Highness, Li Feng..."
Zhu Yu glanced at him: "It depends on your performance."
Zhu Dan chuckled lightly, "Fourth Brother, if you're so capable, then stick to Yun'er's side every day. Otherwise, I have plenty of time to look for her."
He spurred his horse and galloped away.
