The Governor's Mansion.
Snap!
The expensive antique porcelain vase was shattered again.
When Wu Xueqin learned that Lu Yongcheng had been demoted, she was furious.
Now that they've used up all their cards, they're at their wits' end.
In a fit of anger, he smashed everything in the house again.
The servants knelt on the ground, trembling.
Snap!
A blue and white porcelain piece was thrown at the doorway and shattered into several pieces.
One of the pieces landed at the foot of an old man's leather shoes.
"General!"
The maid kneeling beside her was startled and quickly pressed her head to the ground.
Wu Xueqin looked over coldly, "Lin Yuanlong, what are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Although they live in the same house, the couple has been living separately for many years and usually do not see each other for a week.
They were husband and wife in name only, without any real relationship.
Lin Yuanlong looked at the mess on the ground and shook his head. "I'm just here to remind you that if you want Chuang'er to come out sooner, stop making a scene!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"Yuanlong!"
Wu Xueqin rushed over and grabbed Lin Yuanlong's legs. "Yuanlong, I beg you, please forgive Chuang'er this time. He was just confused for a moment, he didn't mean it!"
"Not intentional?" Lin Yuanlong sneered. "When he attacked Yu'er, he didn't consider any brotherly affection whatsoever. He only has himself to blame!"
Lin Yuanlong looked disgusted, kicked her away, and was about to leave.
Wu Xueqin immediately shouted, "Lin Yuanlong, you're biased! If you hadn't sided with that little bastard, my son wouldn't have lost at all!!"
Lin Yuanlong was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "You say I'm biased? Say what you will!"
"You won't admit it?" Wu Xueqin said coldly, "From childhood to adulthood, have you ever cared about Chuang'er? Whether it's his studies or his career! He's a young marshal, and after all these years of hard work, he's only a legion commander. But as soon as that bastard came back, you made him the commander-in-chief! Isn't that favoritism?"
Wu Xueqin laughed unsteadily, "I know that in your heart, you've always loved that lowly maid! I also know that what happened back then still haunts you!"
"But you shouldn't take your revenge on my son!"
"You don't deserve to be a father at all!" Wu Xueqin roared, as if she was finally releasing the resentment she had accumulated over the years.
Lin Yuanlong slowly clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Even the five fingers aren't all the same length, so it's even harder for parents to treat their children equally!"
"Even if Chuang'er is not the best, he is still a grandson of the Wu family, a prominent family in the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"And my Yu'er... he's just a child without a mother!!"
Lin Yuanlong's body trembled uncontrollably as he coldly said, "This is the last time! If you dare to oppose Yu'er again, don't blame me for disregarding our marital bond!"
After Lin Yuanlong finished speaking, he strode outside.
"Lin Yuanlong, I hate you! I hate you!!"
In the bedroom, only Wu Xueqin's angry roar remained.
After a while, she got up from the ground.
His eyes flickered for a moment, then turned into a ruthless and resolute look.
"Little Red!"
"lady!"
A maidservant hurried over.
Wu Xueqin took a deep breath and said calmly, "In a moment, I'll give you an address. Go to Jincheng and find a man named Feng Liuxie. Ask him for a colorless and odorless poison!"
Xiao Hong was a Xuan-level assassin she recruited from her maternal family. She was extremely powerful, and Wu Xueqin trusted her to handle matters.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong's beautiful eyes widened suddenly. "Feng Liuxie? Isn't that the infamous Deadly Poison Master in the martial arts world? Madam, it's said that he has long since retired from the martial arts world and no longer makes a move..."
"You don't need to worry about that!" Wu Xueqin sneered. "Back then, he broke a taboo in the martial arts world and was being hunted down. It was my Wu family that stepped in to protect him. If I ask him for poison, he will definitely give it to me!"
Xiao Hong nodded. "Xiao Hong understands. I'll set off immediately after nightfall!"
Wu Xueqin nodded, her eyes flashing with a cold light: "Lin Yuanlong, you forced me to do this. Since you don't care about our marital relationship, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
...
at the same time.
Lu Mansion.
In the courtyard, Lu Yongcheng was standing in front of a large vat, constantly scattering fish food. Several koi carp were swimming happily inside.
Beside him stood a young man with a cold expression.
"Dad, this warlord is so heartless! You're his sworn brother, you've been through thick and thin with him for so many years, and he demoted you just because of a disagreement. He's so cruel!" Lu Xiaojia complained with a look of resentment.
"What do you know?" Lu Yongcheng shook his head. "The commander-in-chief has already shown leniency! Otherwise, do you think my son and I would still be able to breathe here?"
"Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; to be able to escape unscathed is a kind of luck!" Lu Yongcheng couldn't help but sigh again.
Lu Xiaojia looked unwilling, and then asked again, "Dad, does the Marshal really intend to make that little bastard the crown prince?"
"If he really takes the position, our Lu family will truly have no chance!" Lu Xiaojia said through gritted teeth, her face grim.
Lu Yongcheng frowned, then sneered: "Not necessarily?"
"In the end, the battle for the command position depends on background! This Lin Yu, with the support of the commander alone, is useless. His foundation is too shallow, and he can hardly win the support of the masses!"
At first, Lu Yongcheng thought that Lin Yu might have a bigger background, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely.
How far can a bastard who was kicked out of the Marshal's Mansion at a young age go by relying solely on his own efforts?
"Over the years, the commander-in-chief has been wary of the First Madam, not wanting the Fengtian Army to fall into the hands of the Wu family!"
