Lu Mansion.
Duke Lu returned home with his wife and daughter. He was in high spirits, as if he was back in his twenties when he had just passed the imperial examination.
A successful life!
"Dad, you're back." Lu Yeyang greeted him.
"Yang'er, from now on, you no longer have to inherit your father's title of Duke."
Lu Yeyang's eyes darkened.
He knows.
His reputation is ruined...
It’s all Lu Yunchu and Qin Muxue’s fault. He will definitely retaliate double or tenfold!
"But to inherit my father's title of Marquis!"
"?"
Lu Yeyang almost choked out: "Dad, what did you say?"
All the servants were stunned.
Marquis?
Lu Yingying covered her mouth with a handkerchief, smiling with her eyes curved: "Brother, at the palace banquet tonight, the emperor personally bestowed the title of Marquis. From now on, Daddy is the Marquis, and you are the Marquis's legitimate son!"
It was such a great surprise that Lu Yeyang was so shocked that he lost his voice and forgot what to say.
It was the butler who reacted first and was the first to kneel down:
"This old servant pays respect to the Marquis!"
The servants reacted and knelt down one after another:
"My Lord, my Lady!"
Duke Lu laughed loudly: "Reward! Everyone will get a big reward!"
Aunt Zhang was overjoyed. The master had been promoted to a higher position, and even though she was just an aunt, her status was twice as high as before.
Her body softened and she leaned forward:
"I congratulate you, Master..."
As soon as she approached, Madam Lu took a step forward to stop her and glanced at her coldly:
"Aunt Zhang has no bones in her body?"
Aunt Zhang lowered her head hastily: "I dare not..."
He had to step back a few steps, tangling his handkerchief.
The maid supported her and whispered, "The master is not her master alone. The mistress has always been strong and jealous. She doesn't allow you to have children or get close to the master..."
"That's enough."
Aunt Zhang scolded:
"Just keep it in your heart, don't let others hear it, otherwise, who knows how much trouble it will cause."
"yes."
The maid didn't dare say anything more and helped her stand aside.
Standing next to Duke Lu were only Madam Lu and his two legitimate children. No one else in the backyard could even get close to them.
Amid the congratulations from the crowd, Duke Lu hugged Madam Lu's waist and smiled from ear to ear:
"Madam Hou~"
Madam Lu blushed and patted his chest shyly: "My Lord~"
"Madam Hou~"
"My Lord~"
The couple seemed to be immersed in a honey pot. Even at their old age, they were still very sweet.
Lu Yeyang said:
"The imperial decree for reward has not come down yet..." He called the Marquis and the Marquis' wife first. These two people really have a good relationship.
Duke Lu proudly hugged Madam Lu and said:
"The Emperor promised in person in front of everyone. His words are real and cannot be false."
He couldn't hide his pride and hooked Mrs. Lu's waist.
"My wife, even after giving birth to a pair of children, is still as graceful as ever."
Mrs. Lu was as shy as a little girl: "My Lord, you are always teasing me."
But, back to the point:
"My Lord, you have been promoted now, and your status is no longer as high as before. Is it time to deal with those two annoying rats in the backyard?"
oh.
right.
I almost forgot about the main thing.
Duke Lu stood up straight and shouted, "Come here, go to Fanghua Courtyard immediately and throw all the things of the eldest master and the eldest lady out of the house!"
These two people don’t even think about staying in the Lu Mansion any longer!
"yes!"
The servants rolled up their sleeves and went to do it immediately.
There was a golden light in Lu Yeyang's eyes.
Finally we have to kick them out.
When they are down and out, it will be the best time for him to attack Qin Muxue!
Just thinking about it, I can’t wait!
Throw something away!
Get rid of them!
Baggage, dowry, clothes, mattresses, quilts, tea sets...anything that the two had touched was thrown out of the house overnight.
Bang bang bang!
Throw, throw, throw!
-
This way.
Because Emperor Sang Nan left Qin Muxue and Lu Yunchu alone to talk, which delayed them for some time, when he returned to the Lu Mansion, he saw servants coming in and out, and all kinds of messy things were thrown on the floor.
"Oh! Brother and sister-in-law are back." Lu Yingying spotted the carriage approaching and called out first.
The car stopped.
Qin Muxue landed steadily and glanced at the things scattered all over the stone slabs and steps.
They all belong to her and Senior Brother Lu.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yingying covered her lips and smiled sweetly:
"It's so obvious, can't you see it? Of course I'll kick you out of the house."
Madam Lu smiled proudly and said:
"I really can't tell. Miss Qin has eyes but can't see. Is she blind?"
Duke Lu glanced at the two of them critically.
After enduring for so long, today, I can finally hold my head high.
Oh!
"Lu Yunchu, don't blame me, your father, for being cruel. Since you were already stranded outside, why did you return to the Lu family and covet things that didn't belong to you?"
"All the resources of the Lu family, every blade of grass, every tree, even a copper coin, belong to my son Lu Yeyang."
Lu Ye raised his head, looking very proud.
Qin Muxue glanced at the mess on the ground and said with a smirk:
"You haven't even been conferred the title of Marquis yet, and the imperial edict hasn't come down yet, but you're already showing off your power. You've been promoted, but you're bullying your son and daughter-in-law. Aren't you afraid of getting a bad name?"
Duke Lu narrowed his eyes:
"I know you are eloquent, but the emperor favors me. With the emperor's support, what should I be afraid of?"
"When the time comes, I will just announce to the public that Lu Yunchu is not my bloodline, but a person who covets wealth and fame and deliberately pretends to be me. Then, it will be easy for me to kill both of you."
Qin Muxue took a step forward and was about to step onto the stairs when Madam Lu gave an order:
"Stop them!"
"Lu Yunchu, Qin Muxue, all your things have been thrown out. Get out of here if you know what's best for you. How dare you, two beggars, come to the Lu Mansion to cling to the rich and powerful?"
Pooh!
She spat fiercely on the ground.
"Get them away!"
Several servants came forward with sticks and tried to force the two men back.
Madam Lu raised her head and said, "Qin Muxue, where is your arrogance? Where are your minions? From now on, I want to see how you can still be arrogant!"
Qin Muxue stood calmly, glanced at this group of complacent people, and said in a calm voice:
"For reasons of emotion, reason, family affection, and blood ties, Senior Brother Lu and I must enter this door today."
"No way!"
Duke Lu spoke with great force:
"I don't have a son named Lu Yunchu!"
Qin Muxue looked at him: "Don't regret it."
"Don't regret it!" Duke Lu said in the same tone, "When you two get out and live a miserable, miserable, hungry life, don't cry and beg to come back."
"Ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
These words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Lu Yingying laughed so hard that her cheeks hurt just thinking of the pitiful appearance of Qin Muxue and Lu Yunchu, leaning on sticks, wearing tattered clothes, holding a broken bowl, begging along the way.
At this time, a soft and long voice interrupted:
"Eunuch Zhang is here!"
