It was late at night, and the lights outside the mansion were bright. Mu Qizong came to the door with a group of men in a menacing manner. He had already learned about Fu Yuzhang's departure from Beijing, and thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take down Lu Zhiran in one fell swoop and then control the entire Fu family.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly!" Mu Qizon's voice sounded particularly harsh in the silent night.

Lu Zhiran heard it clearly in the study room. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that the calmness and wisdom at this moment would be her greatest weapon.

The shouting outside the door became louder and louder. Lu Zhiran stood up and gently pushed open a secret door in the study. She had already arranged a mechanism behind the secret door, and as long as someone broke in, the trap would be triggered.

She hid in the dark, holding her breath and listening attentively to the noise outside the door. After a while, she heard the sound of the door lock being forcibly broken, followed by footsteps getting closer and closer.

"Lu Zhiran, I know you are in there! Come out and surrender quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Mu Qizon's voice sounded outside the study.

Lu Zhiran tightly grasped the jade pendant in her hand, silently chanting Fu Yuzhang's name in her heart to cheer herself up. She took a deep breath, then suddenly pushed open a switch behind the secret door.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the trap in the study was triggered and a puff of smoke spread out. Mu Qizong and his men were dizzy from the sudden smoke and retreated one after another.

Lu Zhiran took the opportunity to slip out of the secret door, and she quickly passed through the smoke and came to the backyard of the mansion. She knew that this was the only way to escape.

She hurried through the corridors and finally arrived at the door of the backyard. She pushed the door open and a cool breeze blew in, making her feel a little cool.

However, just as she was about to step out of the courtyard gate, a figure suddenly flashed out from the darkness and blocked her way. Lu Zhiran looked up and saw Mu Qizong staring at her coldly.

"Lu Zhiran, do you think you can escape?" Mu Qizon's voice was full of sarcasm.

Lu Zhiran looked at Mu Qizong, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She knew that she couldn't just give up. She took a deep breath and then rushed towards Mu Qizong.

The two men fought in an instant. Although Mu Qizong was a powerful martial artist, Lu Zhiran relied on his wisdom and courage to fight him to a draw. Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a figure suddenly swept in from outside the courtyard and landed beside Lu Zhiran.

"Zhiran, I'm late!" Fu Yuzhang's voice rang in Lu Zhiran's ears.

When Lu Zhiran saw Fu Yuzhang, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She knew that she was finally saved. The two of them joined forces and quickly subdued Mu Qizong and his men.

Afterwards, Fu Yuzhang took Lu Zhiran and his family out of the mansion and went to a safe place. They knew that although Mu Qizong was temporarily subdued, the struggle had just begun. However, with each other's support, they were confident that they could face all challenges...

In the safe residence, Lu Zhiran and Fu Yuzhang finally had a moment of peace. The two hugged each other tightly, as if to release all their worries and fears. Fu Yuzhang looked at Lu Zhiran, his eyes full of guilt and pity.

"Zhiran, I'm sorry for letting you face this alone." Fu Yuzhang's voice was low and firm.

Lu Zhiran shook his head and smiled, "Yu Zhang, you don't need to apologize. I know you are doing this for the country and the people, and I am proud of you. Besides, I am not incapable of protecting myself."

Fu Yuzhang looked at Lu Zhiran with admiration in his eyes. He knew that his wife was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also had the courage to fight alongside him. His heart was filled with gratitude and love.

In the following days, Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran discussed countermeasures and prepared to deal with Mu Qizong's possible revenge. They knew that Mu Qizong had considerable power in the court and would not easily give up suppressing them. However, they also had firm beliefs and determination, believing that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

At the same time, they also actively sought external support and help. They knew that they could not fight alone in this struggle. Through letters and secret envoys, they contacted other officials and forces loyal to the country and jointly planned strategies to fight against Mu Qizong.

As time went by, Mu Qizong did not give up suppressing Lu Zhiran and Fu Yuzhang. He kept sending people to harass and assassinate them, trying to force them into a desperate situation. However, with the clever response of Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran, every assassination and harassment ended in failure.

Finally one day, Mu Qizong was defeated by Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran in an assassination attempt. He fled back to his mansion in a panic, his heart filled with fear and despair. He knew that he could no longer compete with Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran.

Mu Qizong's failure made other officials and forces in the court see the strength and determination of Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran. They expressed their support for Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran and were willing to fight with them for the interests of the country and the people.

With the support of everyone, Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran finally succeeded in completely eradicating Mu Qizong's party. They removed a cancer for the country and brought a more peaceful and prosperous era to the people.

In the end, Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran became heroes of the country and role models of the people. They used their wisdom and courage to prove that as long as they had firm beliefs and determination, nothing could stop them from moving forward. Their story has also become a legend that will be passed down through the ages.

The moonlight was dim, the night wind was cool, and the lights in the Fu Mansion were dim, but they could not hide a faint melancholy. Tonight was supposed to be a quiet night, but because of the concubine affair between Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran, it added a few waves.

Fu Yuzhang, with a straight figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in a green robe, looks elegant and dignified. He was an important official of the dynasty, deeply favored by the emperor, but because of national affairs, he was often away from home, and he and his wife Lu Zhiran were rarely together. Lu Zhiran was a famous talented woman in the capital, with a beautiful appearance and a temperament like orchid. She was born in a famous family and was well-read since childhood. She was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The two have been married for many years. Although they have a deep relationship, the long separation has made each other feel a little lonely.

Tonight, Fu Yuzhang returned home rarely. It should have been a warm moment for the couple to reunite, but the arrival of a concubine broke the original tranquility.

The concubine was named Bi'er, with beautiful appearance, graceful figure, and a pair of eyes that seemed to speak, making people love her. She was a gift from a general to please Fu Yuzhang when he was fighting outside. Bi'er was smart and considerate, and soon won Fu Yuzhang's favor. However, all this was so dazzling to Lu Zhiran.
