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

Lu Zhanyao's eyes were full of fear. He looked at He Xu, but quickly lowered his head the next second. He didn't want He Xu to grab his collar and pull him in front of him.

"Lord Lu should have understood what I meant. I am giving you a chance... When this snake attacks the emperor, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect him comes."

He Xu stared at Lu Zhanyao intently, and said word by word, gritting his teeth and saying viciously: "Just rush forward and block this snake for the emperor..."

"me……"

Lu Zhanyao trembled and couldn't help looking at the black snake in Hexu's hand.

Once this snake attacks, the person bitten will surely die!

"Master Lu, using your life in exchange for your son's life, and the lives of everyone in the Lu Mansion... it's worth it!"

He Xu frowned slightly: "As long as you do what I say, I guarantee that the Wen Mansion will be completely destroyed this time! It was Wen Qiqi who brought the emperor to the Marquis' Mansion... When you see the emperor, just say that you were framed by Wen Qiqi, and that the Wen Mansion colluded with the rebels and intended to murder the emperor!"

"This snake is the evidence! Lord Lu, if you come in person, the emperor will definitely believe it! He will also be very moved!"

"..."

Lu Xingcheng finally understood everything at this time.

Princess Hexu rescued herself from the prison and used his hatred for Wen Qiqi to drag him down this path of no return...

"Princess, is there no other way? Although I, Lu Zhanyao, am incompetent, if the princess keeps me, I may be of use in the future."

"No need."

He Xu was cold and pushed Lu Zhanyao away.

"If you are unwilling to go, it means that you are unfaithful to me, and it is useless to keep you."

A chill slowly rose up along Lu Zhanyao's spine...

He knew that he had no choice today.

"Lord Lu, just do what I tell you to do! Don't worry, you have done a favor to the emperor, and your Lu family will surely have a stable and prosperous future."

He Xu seemed to have Lu Zhanyao in his grasp...

"Lord Lu, you hate Wen Qiqi! And now is your only chance to bring down Wen Qiqi and the entire Wen Mansion!"

Lu Zhanyao closed his eyes.

What a gentle princess!

What a lifesaver!

You are so young, yet you have me, Lu Zhanyao, playing with you in the palm of your hand!

Let me die, you are dreaming!

"it is good!"

The next second, Lu Zhanyao took a deep breath, pretended to be extremely excited and agreed.

"Princess, you must keep your word. I...our Lu family's heir is in your hands."

"This princess will certainly keep her word. Needless to say, Lu Xingcheng's status in the Cining Palace is beyond doubt. The Empress Dowager will definitely make him the second Lord Yu!"

"As for your other children, this princess will also make sure that the males are promoted to the third rank, no lower than you were in your time. The females will marry high and live a glorious life!"

Lu Zhanyao prostrated himself on the ground: "Thank you, Princess!"

……

He Xu finally underestimated Lu Zhanyao's selfishness.

On the way to the Marquis's Mansion, Lu Zhanyao had already made a decision...

In this world, no one's life is more important than his own!

"Princess, Lu Zhanyao is untrustworthy. He can even abandon his own mother, let alone several children?"

The princess' aunt pushed the door open and said coldly.

He Xu lowered his eyes: "You are too suspicious. Aunt! He abandoned Madam Lu because she was useless to him! But the heirs of the Lu family are related to the future of the Lu family. Lu Zhanyao is already in my hands. He knows that if I am unhappy, everyone in the Lu family will be buried with me..."

"Princess, I still feel..."

"Stop talking, aunt. The person Lu Zhanyao hates the most is Wen Qiqi! This princess gave him such an opportunity, and he will not let it go. He will sacrifice his own worthless life in exchange for the prosperity of the Lu family's descendants. Even if he doesn't want to die, he has no choice but to die!"

……

In the Marquis's mansion, the man in black who delivered the poisoned wine to Old Madam Lu has been subdued.

The poisoned wine was poured into the man's mouth, and he died instantly...

Old Madam Lu was so frightened that her soul left her body and she sat down at Pei Yunyi's feet with weak legs!

"Zhan Yao...he...he actually asked me to come and die!"

Wen Qiqi looked at Madam Lu without any sympathy on her face.

The Lu family motto has always been like this!

Lu Zhanyao regards fame, fortune and future as more important than anything else.

This was something that Old Madam Lu taught him. Over the years, Lu Zhanyao had memorized the family motto of the Lu family by heart, and treated Wen Qiqi and the Wen family mercilessly...

In his previous life, he even stepped on the corpses of the women in the Wen family and Wen Xiaoliang, and climbed up step by step, holding up his son Lu Xingcheng!

How come the essence of this family precepts is now being applied to Old Madam Lu herself? She couldn't accept it.

"Zhan Yao... Zhan Yao... I am your biological mother... How dare you treat me like this... Unfilial son... Wen Qiqi... It's all your fault! If you hadn't hurt Zhan Yao so badly, he wouldn't have treated me like this!"

Madam Lu sat on the ground, glaring at Wen Qiqi fiercely: "You vicious woman! It is such a misfortune for our Lu family to marry a daughter-in-law like you! You...you...why don't you just die!"

The Marquis' eyebrows were twisted into knots!

Today, the Emperor came to the Marquis's residence in person, but the scene was so chaotic and embarrassing...

"Quick! Send this crazy woman to the government office! Don't let her pollute the emperor's ears."

"My Lord, don't be in a hurry."

Hearing Qiqi waved her hand, the Marquis sighed and said, "Qiqi, why are you still listening to her nonsense! Instead of letting her behave inappropriately here, it is better to send her to be interrogated strictly, so as not to dirty our eyes!"

When Pei Yun saw that the Marquis's temper had exploded again, he said, "Why are you so anxious? Let Qiqi talk to her. After all, they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and this is the last time they will see each other... If she goes to the county government, at her age, she will never come back!"

Old Madam Lu was panting, her face was gray and blue, and her hands full of blue veins were tightly grasping her trouser legs!

Wen Qiqi came over, she reached out to grab him, but Qiqi grabbed her wrist!

"You...why don't you just die! Wen Qiqi, you are the one who should die!"

Old Madam Lu's teeth were clenched in hatred and made a "click, click" sound!

Wen Qiqi tightly grasped Madam Lu's wrist, watching her eyes almost pop out of their sockets, but she smiled calmly: "Today is different from the past, this life is not the previous life, I... Wen Qiqi, will not die!"

"You...what did you say...what about this life...what about the previous life..."

Madam Lu struggled, trying to free her arm from Wen Qiqi's grasp, but to no avail.

Wen Qiqi's eyes were calm as she squatted in front of Madam Lu. Suddenly, she leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You, the Lu family, are vicious and greedy. This is not just a sin for this lifetime!"

The next second, Qiqi suddenly pushed Madam Lu away, as if she was disgusted by the dirt.
