Xiao Li wanted to laugh at Lu Chengzhi's good-natured words, but before he could say anything, Madam Lu came forward and glared at him, "Our Lu family can't afford to marry the princess. Now our Lu family is imprisoned and we dare not have anything to do with the princess anymore."
"Come here, get some paper and pen. I'm going to divorce you today, you vicious woman!"
Xiao Li frowned, his eyes full of disgust: "Noisy."
Rong Qing's broadsword was placed on Madam Lu's neck with a swish. The bloody smell from last night had not yet dissipated, and the air was chilling and creepy.
Lu Chengzhi hurriedly said, "Princess, stop."
Mrs. Lu was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she was not afraid at all: "Kill me if you have the guts. Anyway, my Lu family will never want a daughter-in-law like you again."
Rong Qing chopped off Mrs. Lu's hair bun with one blow of his knife, and it fell to the ground.
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she covered her head: "Ah!!!!"
Xiao Li: “…” The wife of a prominent family couldn’t even bear such a small blow.
"Princess!" Old Madam Lu shouted angrily, banging her cane loudly. "His Majesty has not yet made a ruling, and the Lu family will not tolerate your presumptuous behavior."
Gao Lan supported Madam Lu and glared at Xiao Li: "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Even if the Lu family is guilty, they are not humiliated by the princess."
Xiao Li listened to their scolding, not angry, but happy. In the past, Lu Yanzhi was the one who abused him, and he could only curse and swear in pain, but he was powerless to resist.
And now, she is the perpetrator and should be allowed to be incompetent and furious.
Xiao Li looked at Gao Lan and said, "I almost forgot that the Gao family still has you, a fish that slipped through the net."
Xiao Li just raised his hand, and an arrow shot directly into Gao Lan's heart. Her angry expression instantly turned painful, and she looked at Xiao Li in disbelief.
"Alan, Alan..."
Lu Chengzhi hugged Gao Lan and looked at Xiao Li angrily: "How dare you hurt someone."
Xiao Li rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I'm not trying to hurt anyone, I'm going to kill her. When she married into your Lu family, she was given a gorgeous wedding dress, countless gold, silver, and jewelry, all stained with blood. Even if the Gao family dies, she can't be exempted. Going down now is a good opportunity to reunite with the Gao family."
Gao Lan's arrow wound wasn't fatal. After the pain, he heard her words and thought of his entire family dead. He instantly roared like a madman: "Xiao Xuanyang, you will not die well. Tyrant, you killed my entire Gao family. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
Xiao Li sneered and mocked: "You can't do anything to me when you're alive, how powerful can you be when you're dead?"
Lu Chengzhi looked at the blood that kept gushing out of Gao Lan's body, his eyes reddened: "Imperial Physician, go get the Imperial Physician!"
The servant immediately wanted to ask for help, but after taking two steps he remembered: "Master, we can't get out now."
Lu Chengzhi suddenly looked at Xiao Li, his hatred still not dissipated, and he couldn't bring himself to ask for help.
Lu Yanzhi looked at his mother, who was collapsing and holding her head, and then at his injured sister-in-law, his eyes filled with sorrow: "Princess... she already divorced me, why hurt innocent people?"
Xiao Li didn't say anything. Lu Yanzhi knelt straight and said, "Princess, please spare my life and ask the imperial physician to come in."
Xiao Li sighed: "Lu Yanzhi, you never understand what people say. I said, I want to kill her, so why would I ask for a doctor for her just because of your plea?"
Madam Lu pointed at Xiao Li with a trembling finger: "How can you be so vicious?"
Xiao Li gave Madam Lu an extremely brilliant smile in return. She was just so vicious. Thank you for the compliment.
Well, she could be more vicious.
"Of course, things are not absolute."
Xiao Li handed the imperial edict to Lu Yanzhi and said, "Read this imperial edict to me. If I am satisfied, I will spare her life."
Lu Yanzhi stood up stiffly and looked at the imperial edict, his eyes trembling.
Seeing Gao Lan was about to collapse, Lu Chengzhi hurriedly urged: "Yanzhi, read quickly."
The servants brought Gao Lan some life-saving medicine and sprinkled expensive medicine on Gao Lan's wounds without paying.
Gao Lan won't die now, but this injury will be dangerous if it is delayed any longer.
Lu Chengzhi was worried about his wife's life and couldn't care about anything else at the moment.
Under his urging, Lu Yanzhi finally took the imperial edict and slowly unfolded it.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Lu Yanzhi, Princess Xuanyang's consort, has failed to serve the Princess, failed to observe the rites of a husband, is without talent or virtue, and is unfit to be a good match. I hereby grant Princess Xuanyang the right to divorce him. From now on, the marriage contract between Princess Xuanyang and Lu Yan is dissolved. Marriage between men and women shall cease. This is my decree!"
Lu Yanzhi's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for people around him to hear clearly.
As each word was spoken, everyone looked at Lu Yanzhi as if they were torturing his dignity.
Lu Chengzhi, who was originally very nervous because of his wife, looked over in shock. Why did the imperial edict say this?
Looking at Lu Yanzhi's back, Lu Chengzhi was instantly heartbroken. This was his own brother, the proud and noble second son of the Lu family, and he was actually divorced by the imperial decree.
"Why are you... so humiliating?"
The others had the same look on their faces. The Second Young Master was truly miserable.
Madam Lu staggered and nearly fainted. When she came to her senses from the pain, she suddenly rushed towards Xiao Li: "I'm going to kill you!"
"Mom, don't!"
Lu Chengzhi screamed in shock because he saw Yang Jun move.
Lu Yanzhi, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up and stood directly in front of Mrs. Lu.
“Puff!”
Yang Jun's sword hit Lu Yanzhi's shoulder, and blood gushed out.
Lu Yanzhi knelt down in pain, while Mrs. Lu behind him was terrified.
"Son!"
Lu Yanzhi ignored Madam Lu who was about to go crazy. He looked at Xiao Li with sorrowful and complicated eyes and said slowly: "Even if I have wronged you, I have never hurt you in the slightest."
Xiao Li: “…” What kind of script is this?
Xiao Li didn't answer, but Lu Yanzhi seemed to have flipped a switch: "Did you plan all of this? You've been plotting this since the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. What on earth did you do in all of this? Do you hate me so much that you won't stop until my Lu family is destroyed?"
Hearing this, Xiao Li raised his eyebrows: "You are smart for once."
Lu Yanzhi's expression turned even paler. Did she admit it? She really did it.
She did all this...
Xiao Li: "From the moment you sent people to try to humiliate this princess, your Lu family and I were destined to be at war until death."
"Lu Yanzhi, the Lu family died because of you."
Lu Yanzhi collapsed, the pain from his wounds making his veins pop out, but his heart ached even more: "I was just confused for a moment, but you weren't hurt at all? People are dead, and I've been tortured by you for so long, why do you have to kill me?"
Xiao Li sighed. You're the second male lead, how can you possibly handle a story about abusing the female lead? "Is there any point in saying this now? You're not expecting mercy from me, are you?"
Lu Yanzhi stared at Xiao Li with red eyes full of hatred. All the complicated emotions merged together. Even though he was sincere to Xiao Li, seeing the Lu family in this state, everything was irreversible and only hatred was left.
"You are so cruel. How can there be such a vicious woman like you in the world?"
