Chapter 373 Her kick was fast, accurate and ruthless!

Qu Zhishuang looked carefully and recognized the person.

"Second Princess?"

"Take her down." Lu Qi waved to the guards behind him expressionlessly.

Qu Zhishuang was still confused when she was captured.

She struggled violently only after the guards tied her up.

"No, you can't do this to me. I'm the Crown Prince's wife."

"It won't be that soon." Lu Qi said coldly.

Qu Zhishuang was about to say something, but Lu Qi gave the guard a look.

"Too noisy, take it away."

"Mmmm." Qu Zhishuang's words were all swallowed back into her stomach.

The maid's legs had gone limp with fear, and she was dragged away by the other guards.

Only Lu Qi and Qu Zhinian were left in the cellar.

Lu Qi took a few steps forward, took off his cloak, and put it on Qu Zhinian, who had a blank look in her eyes.

"Miss Qu San, don't be afraid."

Under the candlelight, Qu Zhinian curled up into a ball like a frightened little beast. Her body trembled uncontrollably, unable to suppress the fear and anxiety in her heart.

She couldn't utter a word.

"Don't be afraid." Lu Qi sighed and untied the ropes that trapped her.

"Come on, I'll take you home." Lu Qi held her hand.

Feeling the temperature in the palm of his hand, Qu Zhinian shuddered violently and gradually came to his senses.

"I don't go home. I don't have a home anymore."

Her voice was as trembling as she was.

The Qu family is a family of scholars. After something like this happened to her, the only thing left for her by her family might be a piece of white silk.

Only her death can preserve the innocence of the Qu family.

"It's better to die outside than to die in the Qu family."

After untying the ropes, Qu Zhinian gritted his teeth and tried to rush out, banging his head against a pillar and dying.

Anyway, in the eyes of her parents, she is already a useless chess piece. What's the point of living?

Fortunately, Lu Qi quickly stopped her.

Lu Qi said anxiously: "Why are you seeking death? There is someone else who deserves to die."

After being stopped, Qu Zhinian lost the courage to die again.

The second princess was right. Wei Guangzhong and Qu Zhishuang were obviously more deserving of death.

"But I have been ruined. My life is a disgrace to the Qu family." She covered her face with her hands and cried helplessly.

"It's them who are ashamed. They have done so many bad things that they deserve to be condemned by everyone. Don't worry, your affairs will not be leaked." Lu Qi said with a serious expression.

"If you don't want to stay in the capital, you can follow the eldest prince to the city of Yaskar. No one will know you there. You can also go to Fuso Island, where they are in need of teachers. Your future is full of possibilities. Why would you want to sacrifice your life for such a jerk?"

Qu Zhinian was stunned. Did she really have so many choices?

"Let's go, no one will know who you are." Lu Qi put the veil on her face, covering her entire body tightly.

Outside, the Changping Marquis's Mansion was in chaos.

Seeing that Qu Zhinian didn't want to go home, Lu Qi had someone send her to her own princess residence.

Although she would move in after getting married, the place was almost ready, with servants cleaning every day.

Lu Qi continued to lead people to search the house.

Wei Zhuang, the Marquis of Changping, was furious: "My ancestors helped the late emperor to establish the country and made great contributions. They have been blessed by the emperor for generations. I do not have the intention to usurp the throne, but I have never forgotten the grace of the court. What is the purpose of the Second Princess bringing people to raid my mansion tonight?"

Lu Qi replied calmly: "My Lord, if it weren't for the merits of your ancestors, do you think you would have lived such a good life? You allowed your descendants to be arrogant and domineering, bullying the people and oppressing the common people. You oppressed the good and ignored the law, and the people were angry. Confiscating your property and exiling you is already a special favor from the emperor. If you are not satisfied, I can also report to the emperor and change the exile to immediate execution."

She read out the evidence collected by the secret guards one by one.

In addition to oppressing the people, the Changping Marquisate also reached out to the Ministry of Works and siphoned money from the national treasury into its own pockets.

These are enough to kill them a dozen times.

If there wasn't an urgent need for miners, my father wouldn't have shown mercy.

After reading out the evidence, Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These evidences are so complete, it's obvious that they were prepared in advance.

No wonder when she went to her father to tell him about the prince of Marquis Changping's mansion occupying his wife's younger sister, her father quickly found the booklets, picked out the ones from them, and threw one to her.

Let her take it and search the house.

Now that I think about it, the remaining books are probably the evidence of crimes committed by other ministers targeted by my father, right?

After hearing these charges, Wei Zhuang, Marquis of Changping, fell into a chair, his face as pale as snow.

He thought he was doing something secretive, but it turned out that the emperor already knew about it.

As the drunk Wei Guangzhong listened to the evidence, his mind gradually became clear.

"Second Princess, please spare our lives. Please plead for us." He knelt on the ground, hoping that Lu Qi would let them go.

"People like you deserve to be put to death." Lu Qi looked at the disgusting man, unable to stop feeling disgusted, and kicked him hard.

Her kick was fast, accurate and fierce!

Directly cut off Wei Guangzhong's descendants.

Wei Guangzhong let out a shrill scream and fainted from the pain.

"Second Princess, how could you do this?" The wife of Marquis Changping was furious when she saw her son being humiliated in this way.

"Chong'er, wake up, wake up." She was angry and kept shaking her son.

"He dared to lay his hands on this princess's feet. How can a son of a traitor like him touch my precious daughter?" Lu Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, his face full of indifference.

"I only kicked him once, which was already a sign of my kindness."

After Lu Qi finished speaking, he ordered his men to take away the things they had copied, ignoring the Wei family members who were crying and shouting behind him.

Qu Zhishuang had already collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a word.

How could this happen?

After tonight, there will no longer be a Changping Marquis' Mansion in the capital, and her position as the wife of the prince of the marquis's mansion will have come to an end.

She didn't bother to look at Wei Guangzhong on the ground, and suddenly pulled off the Dongzhu embroidered on her shoes.

Everything in the house had been looted, even the gold hairpin on his head had been taken away.

If her skirt hadn't covered the shoe, the pearl would have been lost.

"Sir, could you please deliver a letter to the Qu family for me? I am the sister of Qu Fufeng, the Minister of Works. Thank you for your help. If you deliver the letter, I will definitely thank you handsomely." She couldn't wait to stuff the Dongzhu into the guard's hand.

"Qu Zhishuang, you hen that can't lay eggs, what are you going to do? Chong'er isn't dead yet, and you're hooking up with another man?" The wife of the Marquis saw this and started shouting.

Qu Zhishuang's face flushed red.

Her mother-in-law has always been difficult to get along with, and she didn't expect that at this time, she would still hold her back.

"Mother, what you said is too much. I just want my cousin to help me ask the emperor to spare our family." She responded with gritted teeth.

"You foolish woman, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Zhuang, Marquis of Changping, glared at his wife angrily.

He also remembered that there was a minister close to the emperor in his daughter-in-law's family.

If Qu Fufeng could plead for them, perhaps the emperor would let them go.
