Duke Lu was startled, and seeing the carriage coming, he took two steps forward:
"Eunuch Zhang, you came here at night?"
Zhang De is a person who serves the emperor and is also the emperor's confidant.
Unexpectedly, the emperor attached so much importance to the Lu family and him that he personally sent Zhang De to announce the decree.
Zhang De got off the carriage, swung his whisk, put it in his arms, and said with a smile:
"I am following the Emperor's orders, but this..."
He saw all kinds of things thrown outside the Lu Mansion, a mess, "What happened?"
Duke Lu stepped forward with a smile:
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Eunuch Zhang. I'm going to take care of some household chores."
Zhang De looked at Duke Lu suspiciously, then quickly glanced at Lu Yunchu and Qin Muxue beside him. Combined with tonight's palace banquet, he vaguely guessed something.
He advised, "Lord Lu, leave a way out for everything so that we can meet again in the future."
Duke Lu smiled and said:
"I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch Zhang. I know what I'm doing. This is the best thing I've ever done in my life."
"Master Lu, I still have to advise you to think twice."
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhang. Please announce the decree."
Duke Lu flicked his sleeves, led his family and servants to kneel down, glared at Lu Yunchu and Qin Muxue who were still standing by, and scolded:
"What are you still standing here for? Why don't you get out of here?"
Qin Muxue: "You are the ones who should leave."
"How brave!"
The imperial edict has already arrived, yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly.
He won't cry until he sees the coffin.
Madam Lu said coldly: "What a rude little bitch! If I didn't need to kneel down now, I would smash your mouth!"
Duke Lu turned his head and called two servants:
"Go chase them away and don't embarrass yourself here."
"yes."
The two servants rolled up their sleeves and were about to stand up when Zhang De immediately said coldly:
"Lord Lu, if you drive Master Lu away, where can we go to announce the decree?"
Duke Lu smiled:
"Am I not receiving an order?"
"Who said this imperial decree was for you?"
Duke Lu's smile suddenly froze: "W-what?"
Zhang De snorted coldly, flicked his whisk, and carefully took out the bright yellow scroll from his sleeve: "Lu Yunchu, the eldest son of the Lu family, has received the order!"
Lu Yunchu knelt down.
Qin Muxue followed beside him, and the two of them were neat and tidy.
Zhang De turned around and faced the two of them, and suddenly turned his back to Duke Lu and his group. All the Lu family members were shocked.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Yunchu, is a man of both talent and virtue, and of good character. He is truly a pillar of the country. I hereby grant him the title of Marquis of Shunyang, and change the Lu Mansion to Marquis of Shunyang Mansion. I also grant him a plaque written by the Emperor himself. I decree this!"
As the words fell, four young eunuchs came forward carrying a large and heavy wooden plaque covered with red cloth and decorated with gold threads.
Zhang De rolled up the imperial edict and handed it out with a smile:
"Congratulations, Lord Shunyang."
Lu Yunchu thanked him quietly, took the imperial edict and stood up.
He had no interest in being an official, and naturally knew the real purpose of the emperor conferring him a title. However, having a title would allow Xuexue to have the title of a marquis's wife. He wondered if she would like it.
"impossible!"
Duke Lu staggered to his feet and ran forward.
"How could the Emperor bestow this title upon him? This is impossible!"
This can't be true!
Madam Lu said hurriedly, "At the palace banquet, the emperor clearly promised to confer a title on the master, so how could it suddenly become Lu Yunchu? Besides, Lu Yunchu has been wandering outside for more than 20 years and has no qualifications or ability to sit on the throne of a marquis!"
Zhang De said in a deep voice:
"Are you questioning the Emperor's will?"
"I dare not!"
Duke Lu's back teeth were almost broken, and he stared at Lu Yunchu and the others in disbelief:
"It's just that I don't accept it. Why did the emperor confer the title on Lu Yunchu? This doesn't make sense at all!"
Lu Yingying stood up and pointed at Qin Muxue angrily:
"It must be you! You used dirty tricks to steal daddy's title of Marquis, right!?"
Qin Muxue glanced at her coldly:
"If I had this ability, I would be the first to kill you."
"you!"
"This is not true!" Duke Lu rushed forward with red eyes, grabbed the imperial edict from Lu Yunchu's hand, opened it and looked at it.
Lu Yunchu's name was clearly written in black on the yellow paper.
No!
This is impossible!
The Marquis' Mansion is his!
Zhang De said coldly:
"The emperor has his own reasons for doing this. If Lord Lu is dissatisfied, he can go to the palace to see him. However, I seem to remember that Lord Lu has already retired."
"Pick a free time and go to the government office to hand over the official business you have."
No!
In the end, he retired, and not only did Lu Yeyang not inherit his title, but all of this was taken away by Lu Yunchu.
Wouldn't all his hard work over the years have been for the benefit of Lu Yunchu?
He is unwilling to accept it!
No!
Qin Muxue raised her hand and snatched the imperial edict back, "You even dare to snatch the emperor's edict, do you understand?"
He also wanted to kick her and Senior Brother Lu out.
That's hilarious.
"Someone, kick this family out!"
At the command, the servants looked terrified and subconsciously looked at Duke Lu, then at Lu Yunchu, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Qin Muxue raised her voice calmly:
"This is already the Shunyang Marquis's Mansion, not the Lu Mansion. I cannot tolerate servants with two hearts under my command. Since you no longer want to serve in the Shunyang Marquis's Mansion, then I will sell you all. As long as I have money, why should I worry about not being able to recruit servants?"
The servants were startled.
Don’t!
If they are sold to human traffickers, and if they meet bad owners, there is no telling what kind of suffering they will suffer.
Besides, which host family would treat the residents better than the Shunyang Marquis Mansion?
Marquis Shunyang is of the first rank!
They quickly lined up, received orders, and arrested Lu Yeyang and Lu Yingying.
"ah!"
“What are you doing!”
"You are planning a rebellion..."
"Stop!" Duke Lu shouted, "You are my servants. You have served in the Lu family for so many years. I have always treated you well, but you are betraying me!"
A servant said:
"Master, we are now servants of Shunyang Marquis's Mansion. The Lu Mansion...there is no Lu Mansion anymore."
Four young eunuchs carried the plaque, and two servants brought a ladder.
The plaque of Lu Mansion was taken down.
The emperor personally bestowed the name of Shunyang Marquis Mansion and wrote the plaque with his own pen to hang it up.
Overnight, everything changed.
After this, there was no longer any Lu family.
Duke Lu's eyes shook violently and he almost fainted. At this moment, no matter how angry or unwilling he was, he had to accept this fact.
"Lu Yunchu, are you going to drive your biological father out of the house? Is there a son as rebellious as you in this world?"
Lu Yunchu glanced at him indifferently.
I don't even bother arguing with him.
"Let me do it, let me do it!" Qin Muxue raised her hand.
She is good at it.
She just loves doing this job!
She took two steps forward, without even clearing her throat, and said:
"Lord Lu, you just said in front of everyone that there is no child named Lu Yunchu. How come you don't remember it now? You are really old and useless. You should retire and go home to farm."
