In other words, she was more concerned about whether Lu Zhili could get away with it perfectly. If he was really convicted, would it bring disaster to the Lu family and to her?

"Madam, there is something wrong with the clothes you gave him. The second young master probably can't get out. Only after the crown prince personally judges the case and renders justice can the second young master be allowed to return home..."

Only after Butler Zhu handed over all the money given by Liu was he able to see Lu Zhili in the cell. Because the charges against him had not yet been determined, the jailers were still respectful to him.

What Lu Zhili said was that there was something wrong with the set of luxurious clothes that Liu gave him. Someone had embroidered densely packed words on the clothes. This was simply a deliberate murder!

"Who is so cruel as to want to kill my grandson?"

Liu beat her chest and stamped her feet, her face gradually changed color, her eyebrows twisted together, and her eyes flashed with anger. She hurriedly called Yang Po to ask, wanting to know who embroidered the words on the clothes?

Mrs. Yang thought about it carefully and replied, "I remember that the clothes given to the Second Young Master seemed to be sent to Weirui Pavilion by the Third Young Lady."

Clear clouds?

As a member of the Lu family, she would never think of plotting against her family!

"This matter was handled by Yun Qing, so she must be the only one who knows the truth. But now that she is married to General Xuande and has moved into the Li Mansion, it will be difficult to meet her."

An ordinary woman would just go home to visit her parents, but Lu Yunqing was under the control of Chen, so she stayed in Qingxinju and dared not go out at all.

Liu's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and she looked at Lu Yanxiu: "You go to the Li Mansion in person and tell them that I am seriously ill and ask Yunqing to see me for the last time!"

"Grandma, you can't say that..." Liu Qiuqiu tried to stop her.

Liu squinted at her and said, "Zhili is my lifeblood! If anything happens to him, our Lu family will be finished! If we don't call Yunqing back to ask him clearly, how can we find out who framed him? Are we going to let him get away with it?"

The Lu family had few servants to begin with, and the brothers Lu Yanxiu and Lu Zhili were the only variables that could change the family's future. As for Yanxiu, he was not competitive by nature, and was content with the status quo, and he had no brains to make a breakthrough. That's why Mrs. Liu placed all her hopes on Lu Zhili!

She also hoped that Lu Zhili would become famous and have a good future in the near future, so how could she let him put himself in danger without saving him?

Lu Yanxiu knew that his second brother had the highest status in his grandmother's heart. Seeing her in such a hurry, he agreed without thinking: "Don't worry, grandma, I will do it right away!"

After he left, Liu slowly leaned back in her chair, breathing heavily with her chest heaving.

Mother-in-law Yang handed her a cup of hot tea to comfort her. Just as it reached Liu's mouth and before she had time to take a sip, a bloody taste suddenly rushed up her throat!

"Old lady!"

Blood gushed out, a little of it splashing on the edge of Liu Qiuqiu's shoes. She stamped her feet in annoyance, then walked forward with a false concern: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Liu raised her hand, signaling them not to panic. She calmly wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, her eyes full of deep resentment.

She is now old and should be enjoying her retirement, but she is still managing the family. Liu has always been obsessed with letting her descendants carry forward the Lu family and is determined to let Princess Zhaoyang take a good look at them. They are definitely not lazy and shameless people!

At the beginning, Zhaoyang married Lu Zhiping despite opposition, which gave the Lu family a great sense of power and superiority. Her noble status also brought the Lu family a lot of dividends. After Lu Zhiping's death, Zhaoyang was heartbroken and cursed Liu and everyone in the Lu Mansion, "They are all a bunch of shameless people who love leisure and hate work, greedy and lazy!"

It was this sentence that Liu remembered for decades.

Seeing that Lu Zhili had the opportunity to bring a future to the Lu family, but was thrown into prison on trumped-up charges, Liu was heartbroken and so angry that she vomited blood.

"I'm a little tired, everyone please leave first." Liu's voice was hoarse and a little weak, and she forced herself to stand up and told Mrs. Yang: "You must tell me the first time Yan Xiu comes back!"

"Old slave, I took note of it."

Seeing that Liu was indeed unable to cope with the situation and that she accidentally slipped and almost fell when she got on the bed, Liu Qiuqiu felt secretly proud in her heart, for she finally saw the hope of taking power one day!

My brother is right. The money in Weirui Pavilion is inexhaustible. They must have taken the eldest princess's dowry. Otherwise, how could a Liu family, who has no shop or land, have so many private vaults?

In the Dali Temple prison.

Lu Zhili sat leaning against the corner, the light from the iron window shining on him, dim and unclear.

There were sounds of footsteps in the corridor. He looked up and saw Su He, carrying a lunch box, appearing in front of the cell undisguisedly.

She was mostly the same as before, with clear eyes and a faint smile on her face. The bright colors of her clothes were out of place in the dark and damp cell.

When Lu Zhili saw her, he got up from the ground in a panic and asked in a low voice: "Did you scheme against me? Did you do something to my clothes?"

"Second Young Master pointed out me. Do you have any evidence? If not, it would be a false accusation against me. I will not admit it."

Her voice was gentle and pleasant, with a hint of provocative malice, and her eyes, which looked deeply at Lu Zhili, revealed a sense of refreshment.

In the previous life, when the Su family was imprisoned, Su He's nephews and nieces were so scared that they cried bitterly, and the jailer scolded them so harshly that they dared not even breathe. Not to mention the other female family members, humiliation and cursing were a daily occurrence.

Today, Lu Zhili just had an experience in the cell, but Lu Yanxiu and Liu were already heartbroken and wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible.

But at that time, everyone in the Lu family witnessed the arrest of the Su family. Su He was heartbroken, so how could they just stand by and watch?

"For the sake of our past relationship, I called you sister-in-law, but you treat me like this? My brother was really blind to marry you!"

At this time, Lu Zhili no longer cared about the rules and etiquette, and pointed at Su He and accused him mercilessly.

Su He said, "If we talk about friendship, what does it have to do with you? I helped you get into the Imperial College, supported your studies over the years, and even stood up for you when your classmates bullied you. I spent money and effort on every occasion."

Lu Zhili was stunned. This was indeed the case.

Zhang was disabled and had no strong family background, so she was of no real help to them. Her brother Lu Yanxiu was greedy for pleasure and hesitated to move forward. If it weren't for Su He's support and help, Lu Zhili and Lu Yunqing would have had a much harder time.

"You repay kindness with resentment, betray your gratitude, and even secretly discuss how to deal with the Su family and overthrow my father?"

Hearing Su He's trembling voice, Lu Zhili's pupils slightly widened in shock.

He never leaked this matter, so how did Su He know about it?

Lu Zhili lowered his eyes and explained stubbornly: "I didn't..."

"Do you dare to swear on your future?"
