Chapter 359: Da Chu is about to be destroyed

Kong and Zhao walked out from behind the screen together, with complicated expressions on their faces.

She felt sorry for what happened to Lu Xinlan, but she had a headache when she thought that if she divorced and returned home because of this, it would have a significant impact on Lu Xintong and the others in the future.

She couldn't say anything to stop it, and it was not appropriate to even mention this matter to Pei in private.

But what about her children?

Lu Xintong was going to be coming of age in July, and she had originally planned to wait until spring came and the various mansions started holding banquets, and then she would bring her along so that she could show her face in front of the ladies of the various mansions.

In the past, Lu Kangping was just a teacher at the Imperial College and had no official position, so it was not easy for him to arrange satisfactory marriages for his daughters.

Now that he has an official position and Lu Jinchuan has made it clear that he wants to tilt resources towards him, she has begun to think about finding a good family for her daughters.

As a result, as soon as this thought came to her mind, it seemed that she was forced to stop.

Kong felt heavy-hearted and couldn't help but sigh silently as she looked at the girls in the room.

Lu Xinran had just come back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts when he saw that Kong looked a little heavy.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and one could guess what she was worried about without having to look through Kong's booklet.

In the past, she would have patted her chest to guarantee that her two younger sisters' marriages would be taken care of by her.

But after Lu Xinlan's experience, she has discovered the drawbacks of the system.

No matter how completely the system records a person's life, the human heart is unpredictable and cannot be recorded in plain words.

She couldn't use the system to guarantee anything. She could only use it to provide an additional layer of insurance for her two sisters, nothing more.

Pei took in the expressions of everyone in the room and waited to talk to Kong in private later.

Lu Xinlan didn't want to stay in the Lu Mansion and cause trouble for Mrs. Pei, so not long after Tang Quyan left, she left the Lu Mansion with Lu Xinran.

It involves the Tang family's reputation as well as Tang Chongli's reputation, so the divorce will definitely not be smooth.

It was still unknown what Tang Quyan would say to Liu after returning home this time. If she stayed in Lu's house, Liu would definitely come to her house given her personality.

If she had always maintained a tough attitude, Pei wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation.

She was afraid that Liu would give in and come to Lu's house to cry and make a fuss. Even if Pei was on her side, she would have to consider other people in the family in order to protect the reputation of both families. The result was definitely not what she wanted to see.

She stood outside the Lu residence, looking at Lu Yuanheng who was hurrying in with accusations in his eyes, and immediately turned around and got on the carriage.

Even if she didn't go to Prince Wei's Mansion, she couldn't stay in the Lu family during this period of time.

"Why did you come here? If you start accusing me of being ignorant and not considering the overall situation, I advise you to swallow all this bullshit."

Seeing that Lu Yuanheng was about to rush over, Lu Xinran raised his hand and blocked the man a few steps away.

"Please stop sounding like a dad.

"Home is a place of support and a safe haven, not just dogma and constraints. If you still think of yourself as her brother, then think carefully about how to be someone he can rely on.

"If you only think about yourself, then get out of here and take those evil words back with you. Don't say them out loud and make others feel disgusted."

After saying this, Lu Xinran signaled Tracy and the other two to hold the people back, then he turned around and got on the carriage.

Lu Xinlan sat in the car with a wry smile on his face.

"Why didn't I listen to you at first? If I had stayed in Yuchengguan, I wouldn't have had so many troubles."

"What kind of trouble is this? How do you know that life after marriage is bitter and hard if you haven't tried it? It's life experience. Didn't you advise me before? Why do you become sentimental when it comes to you?"

Lu Xinran deliberately used a very light tone, and then he put his arm around her shoulders and glanced at her chest.

"Just tell me whether Tang Chongli is useful or not. Do you feel any loss after using it?"

Lu Xinlan: “…”

I knew that this dead girl can only be serious for three sentences!

Being disturbed by her like this, the depression in her heart eased a little.

The carriage left the alley where Lu's mansion was located, and the two began to pay attention to the movements outside the carriage while talking.

Not until the car returned to Prince Wei's Mansion did they both breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister, just stay here peacefully. Unless you want to meet any of the annoying people, I won't let any of them in front of you."

After personally sending the person back to his residence, Lu Xinran returned to his room.

After the morning court session, Song Junyan went to the government office. During this period, a lot of official business had accumulated and needed to be dealt with.

An imperial edict from the morning court was like boiling water dropped into a frying pan, setting the entire capital on fire. Now everyone is in danger.

He didn't want to be approached by people asking for shelter after returning home, so he might as well show up in front of people and not give anyone a chance.

After he arrived at the government office, he asked someone to deliver the message to Prince Wei's Mansion. When Lu Xinran returned to the main courtyard, he received the news that he had gone to Shuntian Mansion.

He didn't come back. Although she had doubts in her mind, it was not urgent, so she suppressed them and went to the study to copy Yunsong's booklet.

In the following days, many families in the capital were jointly searched by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. Someone made suggestions to the emperor, and no one knows what they said, but the emperor finally only confiscated their property and demoted them to commoners, but did not exile them.

This alone was enough to terrify everyone on the list. Some wanted to hide some gold and silver in secret, some were anxious to sell their property, and even the servants wanted to find a way to sell it.

The capital was in complete chaos.

Lu Xinran had been keeping an eye on the news in the capital. What surprised her was that Liu had been very quiet and had not gone to the Lu family or found the Prince of Wei's mansion.

Since she didn't move, did that mean they had accepted the fact that Lu Xinlan wanted a divorce?

Song Junyan has been very busy these days. There has been a lot of chaos in the capital, and there have been a lot of messes in the government offices.

Before, I went to the government office with the intention of avoiding suspicion, but these days I have been so busy that I can't finish my work.

Lu Xinran counted on his fingers and waited for the half-month deadline, but only half a month passed and there was still no movement from the Tang Mansion.

Tang Quyan wished he could sleep in the Dali Temple these days, and Lu Jinchuan was so busy that he had to return home late at night. The heads of the two families were so busy that they had no time to breathe, and the divorce matter was thus delayed.

Lu Xinran always felt that these two people did this deliberately, but Lu Xinlan was not in a hurry. She could only mutter a few words and then continue to watch the excitement in Beijing.

"Sister, do you think that in this way, the influence of the several princes in the court will be completely eliminated?"

Half of the court officials are gone, and it feels like the Great Chu is doomed.

The situation was changing every day, and even Lu Xinlan, who was very smart, could no longer foresee what the future would be like.

"Let's wait and see who will be the ultimate beneficiary after this round of cleansing is over."

With so many people being purged, someone has to fill the vacant positions.

The chaos in the capital has just begun, and there will be invisible fighting later.
