She didn't know what happened to her. The first time she saw Prince Shen, she fell deeply in love with the man in front of her. If she had known that Prince Shen was so unique, why would she have run away from the marriage?
Lu Changqingbiao almost regretted his decision, but fortunately it was not too late now. Prince Shen had not yet appointed a princess, so he still had a chance.
But the prerequisite for doing so is that Lu Changxin and the Lu family's forces can stand on his side.
She finally understood that the only person who could make decisions in the Lu family now was her eldest brother, and he also had a very close relationship with Prince Shen. If he could agree to help her, wouldn't she be the first to get the upper hand?
So what if Prince Shen’s Mansion already has Lu Baixue and Lu Wan? They were just some lowly concubines' daughters, and the glory of the Lu family naturally rested on the shoulders of Lu Changqing.
"If my brother can help me achieve my wish, I will promise that when we divide the family in the future, I will stand by his side."
After listening to Lu Changqing's words, Lu Changxin almost thought that the woman in front of him was not his sister.
He slapped Lu Changqing fiercely, "Listen to what you are saying. I thought you had changed after all the suffering you've endured, but I didn't expect you to become even worse. Father loves you and has not punished you, but from my point of view, I would drag you to the front of the ancestral hall and beat you to death in front of our ancestors."
"Brothers and sisters of the Lu family are all family members no matter what the circumstances. Let's forget about it this time. If I hear such unseemly words again, even if my father stops me, I will punish them severely."
Seeing Lu Changxin's solemn expression, Lu Changqing wanted to excuse himself, but he also understood that what he had just said was too much and had caused his brother's dissatisfaction. Coupled with his previous actions, he would have to live his life cautiously in the future.
With other thoughts in mind, Lu Changqing bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
"Think about it yourself. How many times have you apologized since you came back? And have you ever changed for the better?"
Lu Changxin was not moved at all. After saying this, he looked at Lu Changqing coldly as a warning, then turned and left.
He is now extremely disappointed with his sister and only hopes that he will not do anything that would anger God and people and implicate the already precarious Lu family.
After being reprimanded by Lu Changxin, Lu Changqing seemed to have really changed his temperament. He first went to the ancestral hall to burn incense, and then spent the rest of his time either in his room or in the study reading. However, under the surface calmness, a plan of Lu Changqing had gradually taken shape.
She did not intend to tell anyone about her plan, because Lu Changqing knew that even if she told them, no one would come to help her.
That afternoon, after a little maid finished her work, she quietly left the yard where she was working while no one was noticing her and went to Mingyue Pavilion where Lu Changqing lived.
When Luo Changqing saw someone familiar, surprise flashed across his face, and then he hurriedly said, "Yuyan? Why is it you?"
The maid named Yuyan bowed deeply to Lu Changqing, and then said, "After you left that day, the master ordered me and Jinse to be caned. Jinse was in poor health and died a few days after being punished. I was the only one who survived by chance, and was sent to serve in another courtyard by the housekeeper. Now that I know that the young lady is back, I come to pay my respects to her. Please have pity on me and take me back. I am willing to serve you like a cow or a horse for the rest of my life."
As she spoke, Yuyan couldn't hold back her tears.
When Lu Changqing saw the maid who had served him since childhood in this state, he felt very sad. When he heard her say that she was not living a good life, he quickly agreed.
"Don't worry, I will go see my father later and ask him to let you come back to serve me. My father loves me so much, he will definitely agree."
When Yuyan heard this, she couldn't suppress her joy on her face. However, she was afraid that if she left for too long, she would be discovered, so she quickly bowed to Lu Changqing and left in a hurry.
Looking at Yuyan's back, Lu Changqing slowly curled the corners of his mouth. He was worried that he had no one he could trust, and now someone came to him?
Now everything is ready, except for the east wind.
In Prince Shen’s mansion.
Ever since Lu Wan found out that Chen Yan not only punished Lu Baixue for her sake, but also told the whole thing to Lu Changxin, her previous dissatisfaction with Chen Yan has diminished a lot. In addition, there are always people around her who speak well of Chen Yan, so her attitude towards Chen Yan has changed a lot.
Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but there are always some unexpected things happening quietly.
That morning, Shen Yan received a report from his secret informant that something had happened to the relief grain that the court had ordered to be sent to the disaster area. The grain, which was originally supposed to be eaten by people, had all turned into bran for animals to eat, and much of it had already gone moldy.
Shen Yan immediately asked Lu Changxin to come to Prince Shen's Mansion and showed him the secret report. After reading it, Lu Changxin was so angry that he slammed the table. But he also felt strange. How come he didn't even receive any news about such a big thing?
The people under his command have all fought together on the battlefield and no one would betray him. Moreover, this matter is of great importance and involves tens of thousands of disaster victims. They would never do such a thing to sell out their conscience.
But if that's the case, there's no way to explain this secret message.
Chen Yan looked at the silent Lu Changxin and asked him with a gloomy face, "Now that you know about this, what are you going to do?"
Lu Changxin trusted Shen Yan, so he asked, "Along with this secret message, is there any other news?"
