A fifty-year-old man kneeling on the ground, with his face bruised and swollen from being kicked, and his body covered with scars.
He suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahahaha!"
"You are truly worthy of being called the Xian King. You are so cruel and ruthless that you even dare to force innocent people to their homes to be executed. Do you really think you are the light of justice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao immediately stepped forward and slapped him!
With a snap!
The sound was crisp and fierce.
The blow made Zhong Lao Er's head buzz. He shook his head and said, "Fight! Now that I'm defeated by people like you, I have nothing to say!"
"Your Majesty, we will definitely eliminate you, the rebellious king who is plotting to usurp the throne!"
"If you have the guts, beat me to death!"
"Hurry up! Kill me!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Second Master had gone mad, and kept smiling bitterly, shocking Zhong Wulian so much that she stepped back repeatedly.
Everyone understood, but it was too late.
The Zhong Mansion was nothing more than a wealthy family that the court used to randomly target the authority of the Lucheng prefect and the Lucheng royal palace!
Mere money and no power can't defeat those who hold power!
Those who hold power can easily manipulate these businessmen.
How pitiful, sad and tearful.
With a clang!
Shen Dao couldn't help but draw his sword and pointed it at Er Ye's neck, "If you say another word, I'll kill you now!"
Dai Yixuan raised his hand.
They took the sword.
"Want to die? It's not that easy. Put them all in jail and keep their lives!" Dai Yixuan said in a cold tone.
Xiao Zhao and the others received the order and directed the guards to take away all the people in the Zhong Mansion, including this fake Second Master and some other people who looked like accomplices!
The Zhong Mansion is so restless because someone is replacing the people behind the scenes and creating discord everywhere.
It’s a pity for the family who really want to live a good life.
Mrs. Zhong's wife, Xu, fell to the ground, dying, and Zhong Wulian hugged her arms and started crying!
"Mother……"
Seeing this tragic scene, Yuan Xueyue didn't know what to say, so she had to order someone to take him away to rest.
Let's wait and see if it can be salvaged.
Zhong Wulian followed him crying, leaving behind Ju Nian'er with a lonely look and Ju Changsong who was trying to comfort her!
Seeing this, Ju Nian'er was most touched.
They are both mothers, and Ju Nian'er couldn't bear to see that Zhong Wulian also lost her mother!
Thinking about this, Ju Nian'er remembered her mother, and couldn't help but throw herself into Ju Changsong's arms and cover her face to prevent her aunt and uncle from seeing her tears!
Dai Yunxing watched from the side and couldn't help but feel distressed, but there was nothing he could do.
For sad people, just accompany them silently without saying anything.
After reading this, Dai Changxing understood the intentions of his father and mother, and saw for himself the beginning of the power struggle!
What's more, Dai Changxing realized that his great uncle, the emperor, and his father simply didn't get along!
He wants to kill people everywhere!
It was because Dai Yixin was on guard at every turn that the emperor was prevented from succeeding!
With the military power, guards, and experts at their disposal, the emperor's men seemed much inferior.
The chances of winning this battle were very high, but what Dai Changxing saw was that his father and mother were very cautious and had no intention of looking down on his uncle!
He secretly encouraged himself to work hard, learning from his elder brother Ju Changsong how to think and act prudently, and also learning from his father's behavior and decisiveness!
A month later.
The first battlefield of Lucheng was formed.
Just like the original fighting competition, many wise and brave newcomers also appeared!
Everyone was very enthusiastic, and no one went out of their way to get to know the woman of unknown origin. Whoever won the competition would be the best friend of their childhood sweetheart!
They were all afraid that if they were to worship together with a woman they didn't know, they might be seduced by the person she loved. That would be terrible!
Even if no one said it explicitly, their actions proved that they knew the lesson of Guo Liangxian and would not bully any girl who was forced into marriage.
Yuan Xiao begged many times, but never saw his daughter Yuan Xueyue again.
After all, as the prince's father-in-law, I have no right to show off!
The Yuan Mansion gradually declined. After Yuan Xueyue went to the capital to deal with the Guo family, the Yuan Mansion completely fell into decline.
After what happened at the Zhong Mansion, Yuan Xiao submitted documents requesting a meeting several times, but they were all rejected!
In the end, all Yuan Xiao received was an order to retire and return home!
This was the last thing he had to do.
Yuan Xiao looked at the letter and silently shed tears of regret!
A sad smile appeared on his dry, old face, and his voice trembled as he said,
"Xueyue, father, I was really wrong..."
No matter how sad he was, the guards and other servants were not left alive, their property was confiscated and replaced, and the entire Yuan Mansion was emptied out!
The seal was affixed and the plaque was removed!
Lucheng is no longer controlled by the Yuan family.
It also announced that Dai Yixin, the king of Lucheng, had declared war on the imperial court in the capital!
An unequal battle has begun.
After Yuan Xiao fell down, he was taken away by servants. No one knew where he went, but only Yuan Xueyue knew where he went. That was the residence of an old man in the deep mountains. He still had a small house, but it was not enough to feed and clothe himself. He could only force himself to farm to have enough food and clothing!
Who would be willing to serve an old man like this who has no power and only two servants who obey his orders sincerely?
When you are doomed, who will really treat you sincerely?
The two servants who were ordered to serve were also the servants most often used by Yuan Xiao.
When the servants know that their masters have no more benefits to gain, how long can they endure?
How many more days will it take? I might be assassinated by someone sent by King Xian. Or should I leave the old man behind and run away directly?
It is still unknown.
The Yuan family was almost wiped out.
In a wing room in the backyard of the palace, after a month of treatment, Xu finally regained consciousness.
Looking at the unfamiliar scene in front of her and her good daughter Zhong Wulian sleeping with her hands on the bed, Xu's tears welled up and moistened her eyes!
"No lotus."
A soft call, a slight movement was enough to wake Zhong Wulian up!
"Mother!"
Zhong Wulian shouted, and seeing her mother Xu's tearful eyes, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried!
"That's great, mother, you're finally okay!" Zhong Wulian cried loudly, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
Before she could be happy for a while, Xu suddenly started coughing!
“Cough cough cough!”
"Doctor! Doctor, come quickly! Nanny, come quickly!" Seeing this, Zhong Wulian was frightened and quickly called for help.
Fortunately, after examination, everything was fine.
Zhong Wulian breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down several times to the doctor. After seeing them off, someone came outside the house.
Yuan Xueyue, Ju Changsong and Ju Niuer all came to visit Mrs. Xu, the eldest lady of the Zhong family.
Only the busy Dai Yixuan did not come.
Xu looked up, her consciousness still hazy. If she had known that it was Yuan Xueyue who saved her, she would have been the princess!
They had a very pleasant conversation in the Zhong Mansion, and after that, they had intermittent contacts, which made Xu feel grateful!
"Princess, I will never forget your great kindness!"
