A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 72 This Duke of Lu's mansion is truly a fat sheep!

As soon as Duke Lu stepped out, he saw Yue Jinyu, as well as the Imperial Guards behind him and around the Duke Lu's mansion.

At this moment, Yue Jinyu unfolded the imperial edict.

"Duke of Lu, please accept the decree," Yue Jinyu said.

Duke Lu had no choice but to kneel down with his wife and others.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Duke of Lu has disregarded the laws of the land, illegally mining veins, and driven by greed, causing the imperial treasury to be depleted. All of the Duke of Lu's lands, mansions, gold, silver and other valuables shall be confiscated. All male members of the household shall be executed immediately, and the female members shall be exiled to the frontier as slaves, never to be pardoned."

"Lu Qizu, being of noble birth, did not think of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. Instead, he indulged in evil and violence, harming the good and causing dozens of innocent souls to weep blood. Lu Qizu is hereby ordered to be escorted to the execution ground and beheaded as a warning to the public. This is the imperial decree."

An imperial edict involved not only the Duke of Lu's mansion, but also Lu Qizu.

After hearing the imperial edict, the Duke of Lu felt dizzy and slumped to the ground.

His secret gold mine hoarding, the very thing he feared, was discovered.

He was immediately exiled after his family's property was confiscated.

"No, my grandson, my great-grandmother..." the Duchess of Lu cried out.

Duke Lu, however, felt a surge of resentment towards Lu Qizu.

If his good grandson hadn't offended Princess Fuqing tonight, none of this would have happened.

What a spendthrift!

This home is gone, completely gone!

"Take them away!" Yue Jinyu gave the order, preparing to take everyone from the Duke of Lu's mansion away.

"No, I want to see the Emperor. My sister is the Empress. The Emperor cannot treat us like this. He cannot treat us like this."

"How can he do this to my sister's spirit in heaven?"

Seeing the Duke of Lu shouting like this, Yue Jinyu frowned and said, "Someone, gag him."

Soon, the Duke of Lu's mouth was gagged, and the world fell silent instantly.

Subsequently, everyone from the Duke of Lu's mansion was taken away.

Meanwhile, Yue Jinyu began to search and confiscate the Lu State Duke's mansion.

Seeing the boxes of gold and silver jewelry being carried out, some hidden in secret rooms and others hidden under artificial hills and cellars, Yue Jinyu gasped.

"This Duke of Lu's mansion is truly a fat sheep."

They've been moving things for so long, and these boxes keep coming in.

It seems that Uncle Huang is going to make a fortune this time.

He'd better work hard, hoping that when his uncle sees so much treasure, he'll be so pleased that he won't hold it against him for taking his ancestor to a brothel.

Although it was night, it was still relatively early.

Moreover, today is the Flower Festival, and the city is already bustling with activity, with no curfew in place.

So most people are still not in bed.

Sure enough, as soon as the Duke of Lu's mansion was surrounded, everyone knew and immediately gathered around to watch.

Then I heard the news that the Duke of Lu's mansion had been raided and that Lu Qizu was to be beheaded.

"Great!" some of the people clapped and cheered.

After all, who in the capital didn't know about Young Master Lu's misdeeds?

Everyone has been hoping that this villain will be dealt with as soon as possible.

"His Majesty is wise!" The people were full of praise for Emperor Xuanhe.

Some people in the crowd hurriedly left after witnessing this scene.

Some went to the homes of those prominent families, anxiously reporting their findings.

"The Duke of Lu's mansion, as the residence of the Duke of Cheng'en, was actually raided like this? That was the maternal family of the former Duke of Lu."

"It seems His Majesty is about to take action against the aristocratic families."

"But this Duke of Lu is too audacious, daring to hoard gold mines! No wonder Lu Qizu has been spending money like water all these years."

Almost overnight, the heads of the major families, realizing something was wrong, immediately convened a secret meeting in their study.

Meanwhile, the families of both of Young Master Lu's first and second wives quickly learned of the news. "Good, the Lu State Duke's mansion has finally fallen."

“This Lu Qizu is finally going to die. My daughter, your spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace.”

The madam and girls of Baihualou also learned that the Duke of Lu's mansion had been raided and that Lu Qizu was to be beheaded.

The girls almost cried with joy.

"That's great, Sister Qingtang, did you see that? That villain Lu Qizu is finally going to die."

"Waaah, it's Princess Fuqing, it must be Princess Fuqing."

Lu Qizu's malice had long existed.

But Emperor Xuanhe only raided the Duke of Lu's mansion and punished Lu Qizu today, which must be because of Princess Fuqing.

For a time, the women in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion were very grateful to Sui Sui.

"I wonder how Huaxi and Shishi are doing now that they were taken to the palace?"

"They're going to serve Princess Fuqing, which is definitely better than staying in the building."

"Perhaps, they might just find some good fortune."
-
Sui Sui returned to Yao Guang Palace and saw Hua Xi, as well as another great beauty.

Sui Sui walked up to her, her eyes shining, "You look so beautiful~"

Liu Shishi was taken aback. Was she pretty?

She was naturally beautiful; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the most beautiful courtesan in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, nor would so many powerful and wealthy people have fallen for her.

However, she had heard plenty of praise.

But nowadays, it's rare to see someone with such clear, unadulterated eyes, devoid of any lewdness, only pure appreciation and admiration.

"Liu Shishi greets Princess Fuqing. May the princess live a thousand years."

Liu Shishi already knew that the person who took the picture of her was not Prince Li, but Princess Fuqing, the little girl in front of her.

As a person from the capital, how could Liu Shishi not know Princess Fuqing?

"Little Shishi, get up." Sui Sui hurriedly helped Liu Shishi up.

Originally, she wanted to call Liu Shishi "Miss Liu," but then she felt that she was an elder.

But he and Liu Shishi were not related.

So, they added the word "Xiao" before the name.

This was the first time Liu Shishi had been called "Little Shishi," but it felt pretty good.

"Your Highness, may I ask why you chose to bid on this humble woman?"

If it were those men, Liu Shishi would naturally know why they took pictures of her.

But when faced with a three-and-a-half-year-old girl, she was truly bewildered.

Remembering Tongtong's words, Sui Sui asked, "Little Shishi, would you like to stay by Sui Sui's side?"

"Following the princess?" Liu Shishi asked in surprise.

"Yes, or rather, what do you want? What makes you happy?"

Tongtong said that she should win Xiaoshishi's heart, but Suisui didn't know what to do, and didn't even know what "heart" meant.

But she felt that she definitely had to make Xiaoshishi happy!

That's why she asked that question.

Liu Shishi was stunned.

What can I do to make her happy?
Liu Shishi reminisces about her.

She said, "Actually, I can't even remember the last time I was happy."

"Your Highness, what I want is far too difficult, and I'm afraid it's impossible for me to achieve it."

Sui Sui's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. "How do you know it's difficult if you don't tell me?"

“My father once told Sui Sui that if something is difficult, do it slowly, step by step, and you will eventually do it well.”
