Chapter 14 The Tyrant Arrives
Fu Danjun was indeed a little scared, which added to the acting element.
Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she looked timid and pitiful.
Xie Changsheng showed no pity at all. He got out of bed and straightened his clothes.
"Is your Majesty hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a few dishes."
Fu Danjun was eager for it to be over, but she still couldn't accept the daytime sexual indulgence.
Xie Changsheng didn't even ask whether he wanted to eat or not. After tidying up his clothes and hair, he walked out with his long legs lifted.
When the eunuchs and guards saw the emperor leaving, they followed him.
Lan Fang ran in and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Fu Danjun was fine.
"Miss, is the emperor good to you?"
Lan Fang hopes that the young lady will have the emperor as her backer so that she will not be bullied as much.
But the emperor is not so easy to win over, so Fu Danjun just wants to take it one step at a time.
"I don't know if it's good or not, so who cares."
After Fu Danjun finished tidying up his clothes, he went back to make the bed. When he was done, he told Lan Fang about it.
"Tell the kitchen to make more food. We agreed to let everyone drink as much as they want."
Lan Fang smiled and agreed: "Yes, I'll pass the message on right away!"
The gates of the house were closed, and the maids and servants were all free to drink and eat meat to their heart's content.
Fu Danjun thought he would eat and drink to his heart's content, after all, it was time to celebrate the divorce, but when the wine reached his lips, he couldn't drink it.
She couldn't help but frown, and became worried.
Lan Fang noticed that the young lady was depressed and suspected that it was because of the emperor.
So he persuaded her: "She is not an ordinary person. It is not easy for her to leave the palace. She certainly dare not stay for too long."
Before Fu Danjun could say anything, the gatekeeper came over and said, "What do you mean you dare not linger? I heard from the eunuch that there is a young lady waiting for you."
He drank a few more sips of wine and started to talk without restraint.
Lan Fang quickly rebuked him, "Don't talk nonsense. It would be terrible if outsiders heard it."
The servant was unconvinced: "Who said that? The eunuch told me himself that the young lady went out shopping today, and the emperor specially wanted to meet her, so she must have gone to the inn."
Fu Danjun burst out laughing: "Alright, let's just leave them alone. We'll go out and get some security guards. That'll make everyone safer."
The servant agreed and went.
Fu Danjun's mood actually improved, probably because he had figured it out.
The emperor is a tyrant and a playboy, she shouldn't have high expectations of him.
Of course, the dowries that were confiscated from the Marquis' Mansion had to be recovered.
It would not be possible without Xie Changsheng's support.
The Marquis' Mansion did not become peaceful just because Fu Danjun left.
Lu Yuan was provoked by Pei all the way back home from the jewelry shop.
His words showed his sympathy for Lu Yuan, thinking that she should not be bullied like this, and he also said that he was not capable of protecting Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was touched by Pei's care, but at the same time she hated Fu Danjun.
After returning home, he first went to see his brother Lu Yu and told him what had happened.
Then he started crying and making a scene, blaming her: "It's all your fault! You're not a strong enough brother, and you've made your sister suffer."
When Pei heard the news, she also ran over and cried, saying that she had failed to protect her sister-in-law and asked her husband to scold her.
Seeing his sister so angry and Pei crying like a tearful person, Lu Yu felt anxious and distressed.
"Don't worry, I will settle the score with that bitch."
Pei was asked to help Lu Yuan to rest, but halfway through, Lu Yuan said that her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't walk anymore.
Pei was so scared that she called the nanny and maid to help. They helped her back to the bedroom and made her lie down, and then went to find a doctor.
Madam Hou rushed over upon hearing the noise, and just then the doctor had finished taking her pulse and said that she had a miscarriage.
It is hard to say what will happen next, and Madam Hou is terrified.
Pei took the opportunity to tell Madam Hou what happened in the jewelry shop, which made her so angry that she trembled all over.
Originally, she was very unhappy about Fu Danjun's divorce and leaving the house.
But after she left the house, she still bullied Lu Yuan. What are you waiting for if you don't teach her a lesson?
"Lu Yu! Lu Yu! Come out here!"
The old lady of the Marquisate called out to Lu Yu repeatedly, because he was the eldest son of the Marquisate and had the responsibility to protect his family.
Seeing that the old lady did not help the maid, Pei went to find Lu Yu by herself with her cane.
Lu Yu arrived just in time and saw his angry mother kneeling down while comforting him.
"Mother, if you have any instructions, just tell your son to come over. Why did you come here in person?"
The old lady pointed at him and asked him questions like a machine gun: "Do you have any way to deal with that Fu family? A man can't control a woman. Did you let her run rampant in the mansion and leave? Now she's angered your sister and made her miscarry! Do you know how important the child in your sister's belly is? If anything happens to her, how will we explain it to the Prime Minister's family?"
After saying this, the old lady stamped her feet and beat her chest, making a desperate noise: "What a misfortune for our family, what a misfortune for our family!"
Lu Yu comforted his mother and said, "Don't worry, mother. If my sister's child cannot be saved, I will take Fu Danjun to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be punished. I will not let the blame be placed on us."
The old lady was not satisfied with this answer and continued to cry: "The Fu family has the emperor's support, don't you know? The Prime Minister's family dare not offend the emperor, so they dare not do anything to Fu Danjun. In the end, we have to take the blame."
Pei took the opportunity to say, "Your husband should go find Fu Danjun and ask her to find a way to take responsibility. You can't stay out of this."
Lu Yu was reminded and said through gritted teeth: "That's right! I can't catch her, but giving her a beating and scolding is fine."
Seeing him about to leave, Pei stopped him and said, "We don't know where she lives yet. We need to find out her address first."
As a marquis, Lu Yu had some power and connections, and he quickly found out where Fu Danjun's house was.
He didn't care that it was dark and walked over to kick and bang on the door.
Lan Fang heard the banging on the door and the shouting outside and said, "Oh no! It's the Marquis! Don't open the door yet."
When the security guard heard about it, he refused to open the door. Lan Fang hurried over to tell Fu Danjun.
Fu Danjun frowned and said, "He must be here for Lu Yuan, so there's no need to open the door."
Lan Fang stamped her feet anxiously: "The Marquis is a military commander, how can he stop him?"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu had already jumped over the wall and came in.
He happened to meet Fu Danjun who was walking out, and Fu Danjun immediately brought up the emperor.
"Lu Yu, if you dare to touch me, I will go to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow!"
These words were spoken at the right time, causing Lu Yu to loosen his clenched fists.
"So what if I meet the Emperor? Even the Emperor has to be reasonable!"
Lu Yu calmed down and said, "Lu Yuan had a miscarriage when she got home. You made her so angry! So, what do you say we should do?"
This matter is indeed not a small matter, at least in Lan Fang's opinion, it is a big deal.
Lu Yuan is pregnant with the blood of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her daughter has not yet resolved the grievances with the Marquis' Mansion and has offended the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fu Danjun remained calm, gently stroking the hair that fell to her chest. "Is the miscarriage related to me? Where's the evidence?"
Lu Yu knew that Fu Danjun was difficult to deal with and that it would take time to deal with him. "Of course there is evidence. It's Xi'er."
Fu Danjun threw his head back and laughed: "How can a person who rolls around in bed turn his back on outsiders? I think you'd better go back and try to find evidence before blaming me."
