Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Aunt Hua looked at the unpredictable Lu Zhao and suspected that he had lost his mind, so she glanced at the Marquis who was standing next to her without saying a word.

The Marquis had no expression on his face. He just shook his head at her and left.

Seeing this, Aunt Hua hesitated for a moment and followed.

"Master, Prince..."

"Yes. I know Zhao'er's character. If he has a crush on someone, he won't listen to you no matter what you say. He is too impulsive! You are in charge of the backyard, so you should worry more about that person in the future."

Marquis Zhongyi sighed with his back to her, then left with his hands behind his back.

On the other hand, in order to let everyone in the imperial city know that the Marquis' Mansion cares about him, Jiang Xinghui actually slowed down the speed of the carriages.

By the time they arrived at Jiang's house, it was already noon.

When the doorman delivered the message, the Jiang family was having dinner in Songbai Courtyard.

Hearing that the Third Miss and Master Lu were coming, Father Jiang put down his chopsticks and asked someone to lead them in.

Jiang Xinghui walked in with a head full of pearl hairpins and wearing extremely noble and gorgeous clothes, looking very proud.

As for the generous gifts she brought, she didn't accept any of them, because no one gave her any makeup.

Seeing Jiang Xinghui coming in, Jiang's father gave the servant a wink.

The servant received the order and quickly handed over a letter.

Jiang Xinghui took it doubtfully. The three big characters "Divorce Letter" on the cover were very conspicuous.

She quickly tore open the letter and read it hastily, then subconsciously glanced around the hall.

She screamed angrily, "Where is my mother? Why do you want to divorce her? My mother has contributed so much to this family, how can you divorce her?"

"I have written the reasons clearly in the letter. She had an affair with a man outside her husband's, killed her elder sister, and tortured and killed her servants. Which of these is innocent? I have handed Yunxi over to the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. With her vicious heart, I'm afraid her death is not far away." Father Jiang snorted coldly.

"According to the laws of our dynasty, he deserves death. If anyone dares to interfere in this case, I am not afraid of a confrontation in the Golden Palace!"

Father Jiang looked straight at Lu Zhao, whose face was gloomy, with a threatening look in his eyes.

Jiang Xinghui was so scared that she took a step back, her face pale, and Lu Zhao hurriedly steady her.

"Prince..." She looked at him dully, her right hand tightly grasping his sleeve.

Lu Zhao had an ugly look on his face. The Dali Temple Chief only distinguished between good and evil, and decided right and wrong. He was not biased towards any faction, and he had the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it would probably be difficult for him to intervene.

Is it worth it for him to take such a big risk just for Yunxi?

"Madam, the Prime Minister's Mansion does not welcome us, we should go back first!"

Jiang Xinghui was not stupid. He knew that he could not discuss how to rescue Yunxi in front of Jiang's father, so he followed him out obediently.

"Wait." Father Jiang suddenly spoke.

The two turned around and looked at him solemnly.

"Since I have divorced my wife, I, Jiang, and the Crown Prince's wife should also sever my relationship. From now on, our two families should not have any contact with each other! I think the Crown Prince's wife should be very happy about this. After all, she has never called me father since she entered the Jiang Mansion."

The servant handed over another letter, with the three big words "Severance of Engagement" clearly written on it.

Jiang Xinghui originally wanted to return home in glory and slap others in the face, but she was forced to lose her composure one after another. She snatched the letter of severance of engagement, glared viciously at the masters of the Jiang family, and left angrily.

Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.

Jiang Xinghui was immersed in regret and anger all the way back home. She felt that she was humiliated by the Jiang family today, and her negative emotions surged. She did not notice Lu Zhao, who was absent-minded and seemed to be thinking about something.

With Jiang Xinghui's deliberate promotion along the way, almost all the pedestrians in the streets and alleys of the imperial city walked to the road not far from the gate of the prime minister's residence, ready to secretly watch the show.

They had long heard that the host of the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion had prepared generous gifts, and after seeing the six majestic carriages at the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion, they wanted to see it with their own eyes.

But when he arrived, he saw only an extremely strange scene.

The gate of Jiang's house was deserted and no one came out to greet them. The Crown Prince's wife did not ask anyone to take out the gifts, but walked into the house empty-handed.

Before they could figure it out, they saw the Crown Prince's wife coming out angrily and the Crown Prince with a grim expression getting into the carriage and leaving.

Everyone: "..."

Some clever ones took the opportunity to pretend to pass by and asked the doorman of Jiang Mansion.

The doorman was also confused and didn't understand why the prince and his companions came out in such a short time.

He felt it was strange when the Crown Prince's wife came with five or six carriages but empty-handed. Now the behavior of the two made him even more confused. He thought that something big must have happened in the mansion.

Passersby couldn't find out the answer, so they left feeling a little disappointed and started to make wild guesses with their relatives and friends.

After returning to the house, Jiang Xinghui grabbed Lu Zhao's big hand in excitement, "Husband! Please save mother. Mother is not father at all... No, it's not what Prime Minister Jiang said. Mother is very good to me. She is not that kind of person! Husband, I only have you and mother left. You must save mother!"

She begged Lu Zhao earnestly, hoping that Lu Zhao could use the power of the Marquis of Loyalty to force the Minister of the Dali Temple to release the person.

She knew from a young age that in this world, power is everything, and if one has a high enough status and power, one can even confuse right and wrong.

Lu Zhao met Jiang Xinghui's eyes, silently hugged Jiang Xinghui, gently stroked her long hair, and after a while he spoke in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Hui'er, I will take care of it!"

The two of them sat hugging each other for a while, and then Lu Zhao left on the pretext of handling official business.

When he could no longer see Jiang Xinghui, Lu Zhao stopped, turned around and looked fixedly at the room where she was.

I'm sorry, Huier.

After staring at it for a while, Lu Zhao turned and left.

......

In just one day, the little things that the Crown Prince's wife and the Prime Minister's Mansion had to say had spread throughout the streets and alleys. They were scratching their heads in curiosity and asked almost everyone they met about it. They were extremely eager to get to know the truth.

The next day, they immediately unlocked the latest intelligence.

The relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the third young lady, the wife of the Crown Prince of the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion, has severed!

As soon as this incident happened, it immediately caused an uproar.

Everyone began to be curious about the reason, and after many interested people inquired, they naturally learned about Yun Xi's story.

For a moment, everyone became more excited to watch the fun.

It has been a very eventful time recently, with things happening one after another in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and not a single one is too many.

Some people felt sorry for the former prime minister's wife after hearing this. Giving birth is a life-threatening experience for a woman, and she finally gave birth to a child, but her closest half-sister took his life, and she still firmly sat in the position of the prime minister's wife.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but think of the completely different reputations of the two daughters of the Jiang family. They couldn't help but sigh and lament the most vicious heart of a woman.

Many wives from wealthy and powerful families were the most moved. They could not help but think of their own backyards, and immediately and vigorously checked the safety of everyone in the mansion and began to investigate the people close to them.

Some people also questioned the truth of the story and began to spontaneously inquire with the servants in the Yun Mansion and the servants who had served Yun Xi.

As expected, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. One person began to spit on Yunxi, and others followed suit with increasing enthusiasm. Even some servants who were not bullied secretly gave themselves the identity of victims of bullying in order to attract attention.

Yunxi's ruined reputation also made them start to target Jiang Xinghui. After all, she was Yunxi's biological daughter, and she might be the same as her.

Moreover, on the day of returning home, Jiang Xinghui brought a generous gift in front of everyone but did not take it out at all. Many people saw that she was showing off, and her angry look afterwards made everyone feel that their guess was correct.

Some people also began to involuntarily try to probe the servants serving Jiang Xinghui with words, but the servants were afraid of offending Jiang Xinghui, so they just shook their heads stiffly and said no.

But their trembling bodies and frightened and evasive eyes made them suspicious.

Jiang Xinghui was furious when she found out about this. She became even more targeted at the servants around her. Beating and scolding were commonplace. As long as she made an excuse that she had made a mistake, she could punish the servants at will, whether it was locking them up in a dark room, not letting them eat, or making them kneel down for a long time.

Lu Zhao doted on Jiang Xinghui, and no one stopped her. She punished her servants without any scruples.

Of course, most of these were servants she brought from the Jiang Mansion. For the time being, she did not dare to let anyone discover her true identity in the Marquis' Mansion.

As a result, whenever the servants serving Jiang Xinghui went out to do things, they would immediately hide away if they met someone who spoke to them.

Seeing that the rumors outside were still there, Jiang Xinghui simply asked the servants around him to stay in the Marquis' Mansion and not go out.

......

"My dear, how is my mother?"

Jiang Xinghui looked nervously at Lu Zhao who had just returned from court, helped him take off his coat and began to ask questions.

Lu Zhao paused for a few breaths and then continued to adjust his coat as if nothing had happened.

"I...I'm in the process of contacting them. I've been quite busy with official duties these days."

He dodged his gaze, avoiding Jiang Xinghui's.

In fact, he had already sent people to investigate. Just as he thought, the evidence in Yunxi's case was conclusive and the death penalty was a foregone conclusion. It would probably not be long before he was executed.

He didn't know how to talk to Jiang Xinghui, so he could only try his best to keep it secret.

Seeing that Jiang Xinghui wanted to say something, Lu Zhao quickly changed the subject.

"Hui Er, come here! Today... I have something to discuss with you."

He pulled Jiang Xinghui to sit down together.

Jiang Xinghui's attention was indeed diverted and he looked at him intently.

"Bring me the account book!"

Lu Zhao spoke to the guards outside the door.

The guard immediately opened the door and handed over the account book.

Lu Zhao first opened the account book of Linglongxuan shop and showed it to Jiang Xinghui.

Thanks to Lu Zhao's arrangements, the shop's business is good.
