"Lu Mian! Are you crazy! What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Xuefan was so bewildered that she almost fell to the ground, a cold sweat breaking out on her body, and shock shot from her feet to her head.
Some people are unable to control their facial expressions.
"What? Did I guess right?" Lu Mian stopped Lu Xuefan in her tracks. "For so many years, I've tolerated you. Did you really think I wanted to be emperor? No, I dared not say anything before I was powerful enough, because my ultimate goal was to kill you! To avenge my parents! To let them die peacefully! Chu Songyu, Shang Wenhuo, and several elders all know about this. I'm the only fool who was manipulated by you! Aunt, are you proud of yourself?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Mian suddenly struck Lu Xuefan with a palm.
Lu Xuefan was forced to stagger backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When Wei Qicheng's others saw Lu Mian hit Lu Xuefan, they quickly stepped forward to stop them from causing further trouble, as now was not the time to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, Lu Mian was already under their control, so how could he listen to them now? Although Lu Mian's martial arts skills were not great, they were nothing to him, especially for a few old men and a woman.
So when Rong Sheng saw Lu Mian single-handedly defeat Wei Qicheng's city lord, deputy city lord, and several elders, as if taking revenge on them, he beat them so badly that they had no strength to resist. After about fifteen minutes, they were all lying on the ground, no longer having the strength to fight Lu Mian.
Lu Xuefan also felt something was wrong when she saw Lu Mian suddenly display his power. When Lu Mian hit or cursed people, his face was expressionless and his eyes were calm and still, like a puppet on a string, no different from a walking corpse.
"Lu Mian!" Lu Xuefan shouted sharply, but Lu Mian did not move at all. However, his hands suddenly clenched into fists and punched towards Lu Xuefan.
"You dared to kill my parents!"
"So you can control me!"
"To make you want to become an empress!"
"I want revenge!"
I'm going to kill you!
"Lu Xuefan, I will make you wish you were never born!"
Lu Mian went berserk, and no one could stop him. In no time, Lu Xuefan, like everyone else, had a bruised and swollen face, with a trickle of scarlet blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
But Lu Mian was like a robot venting his anger; no matter how much he was hit, he wouldn't stop, as if his strength and inner power were endless.
Seeing this, Rong Sheng tugged at Gu Beiyi's hand, "Are you planning to continue like this?"
Gu Beiyi nodded: "That's my plan until their lives are in danger!" It's much better to die at Lu Mian's hands than at his.
Rong Sheng lowered her head helplessly, "Then let's go! This scene is too violent, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares tonight!"
A smile appeared on Gu Beiyi's handsome face. He knew that Rong Sheng was only saying this to keep him from being affected by these people. Since Rong Sheng wanted to leave, he would give them some time to catch their breath and play for a while...
A dark glint flashed in Gu Beiyi's cold eyes; he would not let them off easily.
After leaving the dungeon, Gu Beiyi and Rong Sheng returned to the Rong family home, where they chatted with the Rong family members to quickly compose themselves.
The matter between Third Brother and Su Wenlan, and the matter between Eldest Brother and Sister Han Chan, have been settled. Han Chan and Su Wenlan are not young anymore; at least in ancient times, girls their age would already be mothers. Therefore, Rong Dong'an and Madam Xu have decided to choose an auspicious day for the betrothal and marriage!
Rong Mu and Su Wenlan, Rong Hua and Han Chan had no objections to this. Han Tao's eyes darkened, and he glanced at Gu Beiyi. He decided to discuss it with Gu Beiyi and ask him to agree to let him see his sister happily marry the person she loves.
Seeing his elder brother and third brother find their happiness, Rong Zheng's eyes were filled with envy. Then he remembered General Yuwen saying that there was a female general in their Qingluan Kingdom who was very much to his liking. He would go to the palace tomorrow and tell the emperor that he could go to the female general's camp and cultivate a relationship with her. If the female general was really the girl he liked, he would never let her go, even if it meant his death.
It's decided then and there.
As for my eldest brother's and third brother's weddings, I'd better not attend them, lest I get upset, drink too much, and cause trouble, which would be bad.
Rong Dong'an and Madam Xu discussed it with Rong Hua and his brother, and decided that Rong Dong'an and Rong Mu would go to the Su family tomorrow to have a proper discussion with the Su family and hope that the Su family would understand their desire to have a grandson.
The matter concerning Ronghua and Han Chan is the simplest. Han Tao is right here, so just talk to him properly. Although Han Tao has nothing now, during their time in the capital, they have already helped Han Chan and her brother find a courtyard house. It belongs to Gu Beiyi, and they can live in that courtyard house before their marriage, and then return to their home after the marriage.
Han Tao's greatest wish is to see his sister happy, so he agrees to whatever arrangements the Rong family makes, as long as they don't damage his sister's reputation and are done according to the rules.
But he always kept the Rong family's kindness in his heart and planned to repay them properly when he became successful in the future.
The next day, Rong Dong'an and Rong Mu went to the Su family to discuss their children's marriage with Su's parents. They immediately agreed to the marriage and even helped to choose an auspicious day for the wedding.
Rong Sheng hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. When she saw Gu Beiyi, she gave him a resentful look with her dark eyes. She wondered when Gu Beiyi would decide to marry her. Seeing her brothers getting married, she felt a little envious!
But Gu Beiyi didn't say anything, and Rong Sheng didn't say anything either, otherwise it would seem like she was desperate to get married.
How could Gu Beiyi not receive Rong Sheng's resentful gaze? However, the matter was not yet resolved, and he had to wait until Wei Qicheng and the other hidden dangers were eliminated before he could propose marriage and give Rong Sheng a formal title.
Therefore, Gu Beiyi quickened his pace, ordering the people of Wuyinglou to send all the people of Weiqicheng to the tomb of the late emperor and make them guard the tomb! In reality, he intended to imprison them in the tomb, torture them, send people to kill them, drive them insane, and make them kill each other, but at the same time, he had to keep their lives. When they were about to die, he would tell them the truth so that they could die in peace!
However, some hatred cannot be erased with a single action. In his previous life, Lu Xuefan had inflicted a great deal of damage on him, so Gu Beiyi personally dealt with them before they left the capital.
Aside from Lu Xuefan, no one else knew who had captured and imprisoned them, forcing them to torture each other. But Lu Xuefan… how could Gu Beiyi possibly let her off easily?
