The old marquis had three sons, but except for Marquis Anyang, the other two sons went to other places to serve as officials.

The old marquis had little wealth at the time, and he gave all the good things he had to his other two sons, except for some that he kept to support the daily expenses of the marquisate.

When the two sons arrived at the local area, they also needed to buy a house and land to settle down, so they sold most of those things and exchanged them for silver.

Qiao Jinlan's question left Marquis Anyang speechless.

"Princess, you are wrong to say that." Lu Liangyi stood up and said in a deep voice, "The two brothers of the Marquis sold the things given to them by the old Marquis for a serious matter, in order to settle down in another place."

"As for why the prince sold the things that the old lady gave to the young lady, what was his purpose?" Lu Liangyi looked at Lu Yunxu and asked.

Lu Yunxu sneered, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "Why should I tell you?"

Lu Liangyi was furious, but he didn't show it on his face at all.

Isn’t Lu Yunxu arrogant?

He wanted to see if Lu Yunxu could still be arrogant in a while.

Lu Liangyi gritted his teeth and said with embarrassment: "My Lord, you are really making it difficult for me."

"Originally, I thought you would confess to the Marquis yourself, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn."

"If you are like this, I will no longer hide it for you."

Lu Yunxu raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "I want to hire you? I do things in an upright manner and will never do anything that is shameful and dirty."

"Just say whatever you want to say. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Lu Liangyi sighed heavily, turned around, and bowed to Anyang Hou and said, "My Lord, the prince sold the young lady's things, exchanged the money, and went to the gambling house."

Anyang Hou's face darkened, and he glared at Lu Yunxu fiercely: "You beast, you actually went to gamble!"

"I also learned to sell things at home to gamble!"

"If I don't beat you up and make you change your ways today, you will definitely sell out the entire mansion in the future," said Marquis Anyang. He stood up and ran straight towards Lu Yunxu, shouting, "Stop the door!"

The servant at the door immediately blocked the door and prevented Lu Yunxu from going out.

Where is Lu Yunxu?

He didn't move at all, just stood there openly.

Facing the furious Marquis of Anyang, he said coldly, "Father, if you hit me now, don't regret it!"

"What I regret most is that I spoiled you too much and didn't discipline you earlier!" said Marquis Anyang, swinging his arm and slapping him hard.

Lu Yunxu, who was standing still and waiting to take the slap, suddenly felt a strong force coming from the side, pulling him a few steps to the side.

The slap from Anyang Hou missed. He turned around unhappily and glared at Qiao Jinlan: "Qiao, what are you doing?"

Qiao Jinlan pulled Lu Yunxu behind her and said to Anyang Hou with a cold face: "Even if father wants to hit someone, he must find out the whole story."

"After my cousin said that, my father actually believed it without even investigating, right?"

"Did the prince admit it, or does father have evidence?"

"What? My cousin's words are the laws of heaven and earth. He said that the whole world should follow his words?"

Qiao Jinlan's sarcasm made Anyang Hou so angry that his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Qiao Jinlan, stop quibbling! He..."

"Father, you know clearly whether you are the one who believes what I am saying or I am just making excuses." Qiao Jinlan said coldly, "If our family can't explain this matter clearly, let's go find someone to judge it."

"I don't think we need anyone else. The prince's teacher, Elder Chen, is quite good."

"Mr. Chen can naturally be fair and impartial!"

"Ridiculous!" Madam Lu finally spoke up, questioning angrily, "You always make a fuss about family matters. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Grandma, only those who have done something wrong will feel ashamed. Why should I feel ashamed if I have done nothing wrong?" Qiao Jinlan asked back.

"You mean to say that your father is wrong?" Old Madam Lu roared, "You..."

"My Lord, My Lord... Lord Tian, ​​Lord Li, Lord Wang... are here." The servant came hurriedly to report the news. The people he mentioned made Marquis Anyang confused.

Those were ministers in the court, and none of them had a lower status than him.

On weekdays, his relationship with those people was average and he didn't have any deep friendships with them.

What are they coming here for?

"Did they tell us why they came?" Marquis Anyang asked puzzledly.

The servant quickly glanced at Lu Yunxu, and then replied with a complicated expression: "The masters said that it was because the prince took their sons to the gambling house, so they came here to look for the prince."

When Anyang Hou heard this, he was furious: "You beast! Look at what you have done!"

"People have come to your door, and you still refuse to admit that you went to the gambling house?"

"Your cousin really didn't wrong you!"

In addition to scolding Lu Yunxu, Marquis Anyang also said those words to Qiao Jinlan.

A happy smile flashed across Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes. Look, isn't Lu Yunxu going to be in trouble?

She was speaking so righteously for Lu Yunxu just now, I wonder if Qiao Jinlan still has the confidence now.

"Come with me and apologize!" Marquis Anyang scolded Lu Yunxu.

"How could my Anyang Marquis's family, which has a clean and upright tradition, produce a beast like you?" The Marquis of Anyang cursed, causing Lu Yunxu to sneer sarcastically.

"You're still not convinced!" Marquis Anyang was furious.

"Father, don't keep those adults waiting for too long." After Lu Yunxu finished speaking, he strode away.

His attitude made Su Yunxia feel nervous. Was there any change in the situation?

Su Yunxia glanced at her son.

Lu Liangyi gave her a reassuring look.

He saw with his own eyes that Lu Yunxu took his group of friends to the gambling house, and he had also investigated it thoroughly, so he could definitely not be wrong.

No matter what, the fact that Lu Yunxu took people to the gambling house was absolutely true, and no matter how Lu Yunxu tried to argue, it was useless.

The reason why Lu Yunxu acted like this was simply because he was used to being arrogant and couldn't stand that kind of anger.

"Aunt, let's go and take a look. In case the Marquis is really angry, we can stop him." Su Yunxia turned and said to Old Madam Lu.

Madam Lu was distraught: "It's all an injustice!"

They all walked towards the front yard with the intention of watching a good show.

Lu Yunyu was really worried. She was afraid that something might happen to her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Anyang Hou was not as fast as Lu Yunxu. When he arrived, he just happened to hear Lu Yunxu talking to the adults in the room: "...I took them there. We gambled for most of the day and didn't even have time to eat."

When Marquis Anyang heard this, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

This little beast, I won’t be done until I kill him, right?

“Lu Yunxu, shut up!” Anyang Hou roared as he rushed in and kicked Lu Yunxu, “I’m going to beat you to death!”

Lu Yunxu was kicked to the ground. The adults in the room were shocked and shouted angrily, "Marquis Anyang, what are you doing?"
