In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

Lu Fengyun was humiliated by Li Weiwei in public and was killed in front of everyone, making Lu Fengyun a joke in the eyes of others, which made him want to kill the entire Li family.

"What does the royal family's broken engagement have to do with me? Why should I be blamed for this mess?" Lu Fengyun cursed.

The emperor's decree to grant the marriage has been issued. It is impossible for Lu Fengyun to break off the engagement, but he is unwilling to marry the princess.

Lu Fengyun was unwilling to accept this.

He originally wanted to marry a princess and get promoted to a noble title.

Little did he know that the princess he married was so despicable.

In desperation, he went to seek help from his grandfather, the patriarch of the clan.

He asked, "Grandfather, I don't want to marry Princess Yonghe. Can we change to another princess? There is also Princess Yongping in the palace."

Old Master Lu said in embarrassment: "Disobeying the order is too serious. It will implicate everyone in the family. I can't make the decision alone."

Master Lu muttered, "That one is probably about the same."

"What do you mean, father?" Lu Fengyun asked.

Master Lu said to his son, "I have heard from others that Princess Yongping once proposed to marry Qi Yuan, but Concubine Zuo and the Emperor did not agree, and she has not yet proposed a marriage."

"You marry her, her heart is with Qi Yuan." Master Lu glanced at his son, "Will you feel comfortable? If your mother knew, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood."

Now, whenever Lu Fengyun's mother heard about the people and things in the Qi Mansion, she would start cursing.

Lu Fengyun listened and frowned.

He couldn't understand why, in the previous generation, the Grand Princess and Princess Daning were so low-key, helped each other in raising their children, and nothing bad had ever happened to them, but in this generation, all three princesses were so terrible?

Old Master Lu called the heads of each branch of the Lu Mansion and sat in the lobby of the Lu family to discuss matters.

Everyone in the Lu family secretly glanced at Lu Fengyun and saw that he had a gloomy face. They all knew that he had been competitive since he was a child and would not be willing to accept such a great humiliation.

Lu Fengyun was carefully trained by Old Master Lu and is the hope for the Lu family's future.

Old Master Lu was saddened when he thought about his proud eldest grandson, the future patriarch of the Lu family, and how he would be branded as a man who stole someone else's wife if he married the princess. He didn't know what to do.

He stroked his white beard that reached down to his abdomen and asked, "The Emperor has issued an edict granting the marriage, and has also conferred the title of nobility on Fengyun. What do you think of this?"

Lu Fengyun asked in public, "Grandpa, can we change a cousin to marry the princess?"

Cousin Lu Feng would look at him with sympathy.

"Isn't it a little too late to regret now?" Lu Fenghui thought to himself, "I should have rejected it at that time. I don't know why my cousin agreed to marry the princess."

What Princess Yong'an had done before was so shameful that everyone in the Lu family knew about it.

The three princesses live together in the Fengge Tower in the harem. Princess Yongan behaves improperly, so how much better can the other princesses be?

When the other families heard Lu Fengyun's proposal to change someone to marry the princess, they all shook their heads and said, "How can that be possible? The emperor specifically wants you to marry the princess."

Lu Fengyun said: "Let someone else marry the princess, and give him the title and official position."

People from several rooms looked at each other, and seemed to be ready to make something happen.

Isn't it just letting a son marry a princess who is equivalent to a second marriage? He can also get an official position and a title. What's wrong with that?

There are several families, and which family doesn’t have several sons?

The eldest master of the eldest house was a little uneasy when he saw this. He couldn't let other houses surpass his eldest house.

He glared at his eldest son Lu Yunfeng and scolded him, "How dare you disobey an order?"

He glanced at his brothers and nephews present and said, "If you anger the emperor, you will all be held responsible for the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan."

The talents in several families lowered their heads and did not dare to propose to marry their sons to the princess.

The hall was filled with his brothers and nephews, with no outsiders present.

Mr. Lu said bluntly: "If the family has no power, what is the point of talking about personal dignity?"

"If you have tremendous power, get rid of all those who don't respect you, and your dignity will naturally return!"

Old Master Lu was silent for a while, thinking that they had been suppressed by the royal family for decades, and were increasingly disrespected outside. The Lu family would slowly become just a merchant family.

This is the best opportunity for the Lu family to rise to power. If they miss it, there may never be another opportunity.

The old man nodded and agreed with his eldest son, "That's right. Without power, there is no dignity!"

He kindly advised his eldest grandson: "Bring your wife home and treat her like the God of Wealth, and pick as many beautiful concubines as you like."

Lu Yunfeng thought carefully about what his grandfather and father said and knew that this was the case.

He nodded reluctantly, "Okay."

In order to appease Lu Fengyun, the Lu family also changed the family rules.

In front of everyone, Old Master Lu brought out the family rules and crossed out the rule that 'a man who is childless at the age of 30 may take a concubine.

He said: "When the Lu family regains its power, we will add this family rule of our ancestors."

"Yes, Patriarch." The men of the Lu family stood up and saluted.

The ladies and grandmothers were unhappy but there was nothing they could do.

Faced with the arrangement of the family patriarch, if the ladies and grandmothers make a fuss, "Our family allows me to marry into the Lu family with a generous dowry because a man from the Lu family can only take a concubine if he is childless after the age of 30. Now you have changed your mind and are not trustworthy." They will only have one outcome - being divorced and returning home.

Rather than being divorced, it is better to allow your husband to take a concubine.

It wasn't long ago that Madam Qi was divorced and sent back to her parents' home, where she was beaten and despised by her family, and thrown into a stable and starved to death. This served as a wake-up call to all the ladies and grandmothers in the Lu family.

The ladies and grandmothers of the Lu family had no choice but to give their maids to their husbands in order to bribe them and prevent them from finding new beauties outside and shaking their positions.

Princess Yonghe broke off the engagement and felt guilty towards her cousin Li Weiwei and wanted to make amends to him.

But Li Weiwei seemed to be crazy. He ran to the Ministry of Revenue, scolded Lu Fengyun in front of the officials, and killed him on the spot.

This made Princess Yonghe furious, and all the years of friendship went to waste. "Damn Li Weiwei, it's better that he dies, otherwise I will kill him too."

"How dare you talk nonsense outside and ruin my reputation."

The people who serve Princess Yonghe know the truth best.

Princess Yonghe and Li Weiwei grew up together. They slept in the same bed when they were young, and played and hugged each other when they grew up.

Two years ago, when Li Weiwei had grown up, he secretly had sex with Princess Yonghe. He said to the princess, "We will be husband and wife in the future anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."

"This way, the princess will know that my brother is a normal person, and he won't need a concubine arranged by his family."

Princess Yonghe was of course very happy that her cousin did not have an intimate relationship with his concubines and only had good relations with her.

Every time Princess Yonghe went to the Duke's Mansion, she would have fun with Li Weiwei behind closed doors, and drink contraceptive pills afterwards. This was a secret known to the Duke's Mansion and the princess's subordinates, and was kept secret only from the royal family.

However, this pair of engaged couple, who were favored by everyone, ended up with Princess Yonghe regretting the engagement and the prince committing suicide.

The people around Princess Yonghe were afraid of being implicated, so they all gave her advice: "Your Highness, don't admit it. Just say that the Li family framed you out of love and hatred."

"But Mr. Lu will definitely be suspicious."

Feng Ying, a maidservant of Princess Yonghe, found out a lot of things. She quietly suggested to her master: "Your Highness, why don't you take the initiative to meet with Master Lu?"

"Everyone in the capital knows that Mr. Lu likes the eldest lady of the Qi Mansion. Why don't you express your feelings to Mr. Lu and find a way to get the eldest lady of the Qi Mansion as his concubine."

Princess Yonghe pouted and shook her head to express her unwillingness.

Feng Ying continued to persuade: "As long as you have a deep relationship with Master Lu, you can get rid of her. Using her to win over Master Lu is just a means."

Princess Yonghe thought of Mr. Lu's handsome face, and she reluctantly agreed, "Okay then, you can find a way to kill her when the time comes."

Feng Ying was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Princess Yonghe staring at her, she quickly said, "That's for sure."

Feng Ying was dissatisfied: "You enjoy the handsome man, and let me be a killer and a scapegoat."
