My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

Wen Qiqi slightly moved the corners of her mouth and smiled calmly.

Old Madam Lu stared at every expression on her face nervously. She looked so vicious that it seemed as if she wanted to eat Wen Qiqi alive.

"Madam Lu, you are right. Is there any mother in this world who believes that her son will send her to the guillotine with his own hands?"

Madam Lu became even more angry after hearing Qiqi's words.

If she had a dagger at this moment, she would have stabbed Wen Qiqi's chest without hesitation. At the beginning, she thought that the daughter of the Wen family was ignorant of the world and did not understand human nature, so she was careless and only wanted to covet some of her money.

Now it seems that I had misjudged the person and had lost my sight.

"Wen Qiqi, stop talking nonsense here. My son will never send me to the guillotine. It's you... the daughter of the Wen family who is making up lies to sow discord!"

At this moment, Madam Lu felt that the blood in her body was boiling.

If it weren't for Wen Qiqi, how could Lu Zhanyao lose the official position he had worked so hard to obtain, and how could the Lu family lose the wealth and glory that everyone envied!

"Hehe... Wen Qiqi, do you think that I will be afraid of you just because you have done so much harm to my son and the entire Lu family? You are wrong! You are absolutely wrong. I am determined to fight you to the end with my old bones. Don't you just want my life? I will give it to you today!"

After Madam Lu finished speaking, she suddenly arched her body and slammed towards Wen Qiqi.

If Wen Qiqi dodged out of reflex at this moment, she would hit her head against the wall. Although Old Lady Lu was already old, if she used all her strength to hit her, she would definitely die!

To be honest, at that moment Wen Qiqi really wanted to get away quickly!

Madam Lu should pay the price for what she has done, but she cannot die now.

It happened in a flash. Wen Qiqi grabbed Madam Lu's arm and held him firmly!

Madam Lu only felt that her shoulders were about to fall apart in pain, but her legs and feet could not move!

Wen Qiqi is a martial artist, and each of his moves is neat and clean.

Madam Lu was held in place and could not move at all. She had no choice but to shout loudly: "Wen Qiqi, let go! I am your former mother-in-law after all..."

"The aunt of the past is no longer an aunt."

Wen Qiqi didn't buy it at all. The next second, she pushed Old Lady Lu away. Old Lady Lu staggered and fell to her knees with a thump.

In just that instant, Madam Lu felt as if her knees were cracked and she grimaced in pain. The next second, she curled up on the ground, holding her legs and wailing in pain.

"Wen Qiqi, you vicious woman! Heaven has eyes, you will not die a good death for treating me like this!"

"Madam Lu, I'm afraid you made a mistake about this matter. If I hadn't come today, you would have really died a miserable death."

Qiqi was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and turned to look at Pei Yunyi: "Auntie, Qiqi disturbed your peace today, I am really sorry, but I have to trouble you to go to the front yard with Qiqi."

Front yard?

Pei Yun looked outside and knew that the banquet would start soon...

Is it...

Does Qiqi want to expose Lu Zhanyao’s scandal in front of Lu’s mother?

Pei Yunyi was really a smart man. He nodded calmly: "Okay, I didn't want to join in the fun, but since you are here, let's go and take a look together!"

"Logically, Qiqi cannot be seated."

Wen Qiqi pursed her lips and smiled.

"Come with me, don't forget. Besides being the daughter of the Wen family, you are also my goddaughter!"

Pei Yunyi's words brought a sweet smile to Wen Qiqi's face: "Then Qiqi will respectfully obey your command!"

"And her!"

Pei Yunyi already knew what was going on: "This old lady who has been crying out for justice for me cannot stay with me, so let's take her to the front yard! Let her see for herself whether what Qiqi said is true or not."

Mrs. Lu's knees were so painful that she couldn't move, so she was supported by a maid and limped to the front yard with everyone else.

A banquet was being set up in the front yard. Because the Emperor came to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion today, and the Prince was also there to accompany him, the banquet was particularly grand.

The Emperor, the Prince, and the Marquis of Jing'an, the three of them sat at the same table. What an honor it was for the monarch and his subjects to sit at the same table?

Lord Jing'an knew very well that the emperor would not normally attend the wedding of the sons of important officials in the court. Moreover, his position in the court was not so prominent, and he was not a royal relative. In addition, he was not the main attendant today...

Therefore, there must be other reasons why the emperor came here in person.

Marquis Jing'an's small eyes kept stealing glances at the emperor, and kept observing the prince's expression, thinking in his heart, could it be that the emperor came to the mansion today just for the prince?

The prince's leg disease has improved somewhat in recent days. Although he still limps a little, he is able to walk.

No one else in the court knew about this good news, but the emperor did...

"Your Majesty, how have I merited this, and how have my son merited this, too! I am so moved and grateful that Your Majesty has come to your palace in person!" Marquis Jing'an raised the cup in both hands and spoke earnestly!

The emperor waved his hand and smiled, "There's no need to talk about this on a happy day. I'm happy today because your son is getting married and the prince's leg disease has improved a lot... These are all good things!"

The prince was terrified and quickly raised his glass.

The emperor was slow to pick up the cup in front of him, but instead looked at the prince.

When their eyes met, the prince felt a chill in his heart. Although the emperor was smiling, that look made his heart beat fast.

"The Prince's Princess Hexu is already not young anymore..."

The prince quickly said, "Hexu is the same age as Jing'an's son!"

"Haha, if that's the case, there should be a suitable candidate. I wonder if the prince has any plans for his daughter?"

The emperor picked up the cup and turned it around nonchalantly, but still did not drink.

Wen Qiqi told him that someone would tamper with the banquet at Jing'an Marquis' Mansion today.

The original cup of poisoned wine was prepared for Old Madam Lu.

But the emperor is the supreme ruler, so of course he cannot make any mistakes. So the emperor will not drink even a drop of the wine at the banquet today.

When the prince saw that the emperor had no intention of drinking, he understood that the emperor hurriedly asked him to come to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion today, but it was definitely not a temporary interest or a desire to reminisce and chat!

A chill gradually rose in my heart.

Yes, although the relationship between the emperor and himself seemed to be okay on the surface, when it came to drinking and chatting about the past, it was really not his turn.

Over the past few years, the emperor has repeatedly tested him to see if he has any intention of usurping power. If he had not always been cautious and pretended to have a leg disease and was unable to walk normally, I am afraid that the emperor would have already had murderous intentions against him...

After all, anyone would feel resentful about what happened back then, let alone the emperor who is so high and mighty!
