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

Qi Mansion Upper House

The people of the mansion sat in silence in the hall. The atmosphere was solemn, and everyone's face was filled with worry and uneasiness. They knew that they were about to face a disaster, but they were powerless to stop it.

Qi Lu whispered to Qi Ze, "Qi Ze, divorce Zheng and send her back to her parents' home." Although his voice was small, it carried an irresistible majesty.

When Zheng heard the decision, she turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down to beg: "No, father. I am willing to live with the people in this mansion together. Please don't divorce me and send me back to my parents' home." Her eyes were full of fear and tears welled up in her eyes.

Qi Lu looked at Zheng, sighed, and said slowly: "Take the child back and leave a bloodline for the Qi family. This is the last thing I can do."

Upon hearing this, Pei and Zheng could not help but cover their faces and cry. They knew that this was a helpless act, but they were still extremely sad in their hearts.

Qi Lu turned to look at his daughter, his eyes firm and loving: "Ah Wan and mother will go to Guangzhou to look for your uncle. If he is chasing you closely, you can go out to sea by boat."

"No, my husband." Pei's face was covered with tears. She shook her head desperately and choked with sobs, "I want to be with you."

Qi Wan looked at everything in front of him and felt a surge of anger in his heart.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, curled the corners of her mouth, and suddenly whispered: "Why don't we rebel!" This sentence was like a thunderclap, which made everyone stunned like stone sculptures, and the whole hall fell into deathly silence.

The whole family looked at Qi Wan in shock.

They never expected that the most courageous person in the Qi family was Awan, who usually looked the weakest.

Qi Lu kept blinking, surprised: everyone said that Awan was weak-willed and had no opinion of her own, and was manipulated by others, but they were all deceived by her. It is obvious that Awan is braver than men and has stronger opinions than anyone else.

Except for Awan, no one in the Qi family even had the idea of ​​resisting, so how could they dare to rebel?

Now the Qi family has no soldiers or power, and there are only a hundred or so servants in the mansion. How can they rebel?

Qi Wan saw what her family members were thinking, and she whispered, "Are you worried that you won't be able to recruit soldiers even though you have money?"

She told her plan, "This is a tyrant now. He killed the previous emperor's concubines to bury him alive. This must have caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but they dare not speak out. When we raise an army, they will not follow us, but they will not work for the tyrant either."

"Father and second brother are going to recruit soldiers in the east and west. As long as we have tens of thousands of soldiers and occupy a favorable position, why should we be afraid that he will come and take the lives of everyone in our prefecture?"

She didn't say anything more, "I took his life first."

Qi Lu thought for a while, then shook his head, "This will cause chaos in the world. It would be a shame to sacrifice more lives to save the lives of a few people in our mansion."

He added: "Besides, what's so good about that position? With all the intrigue and without any real strength, life will be very tiring."

Qi Ze nodded, agreeing with it.

Not everyone can be a good emperor.

Like the late emperor who had just entered the underground palace, he had not been trained as a prince since he was a child and had no idea how to govern the country.

He loved pleasure and when he ran out of money he sold official positions. He made the country full of holes, but he was only covering up the problems temporarily and the damage had not yet been resolved.

He also didn't know how to train a prince. He only suspected and suppressed his son, and ended up raising a tyrant.

Qi Yuan also said: "Forget it, many people will die, it's very cruel."

Qi Lu sighed and said, "We kill the enemy to defend our country. That is our duty. We would feel guilty if our brothers died in battle."

He said to Qi Wan, "Look at your grandfather. He couldn't sleep or eat when he thought of the soldiers who died on the battlefield."

Qi Wan had no choice but to nod, "Okay then, my daughter will listen to you."

Qi Wan saw that his father and brother were unwilling to rise up and rebel against the tyrant.

She knew that the new emperor had just taken away her father's military power and would intensify the suppression next.

Qi Wan could only prepare secretly: "I have already killed one emperor, why should I be afraid of killing another? As long as the dog emperor attacks my family, I will kill him first."

She decided to arrange for Wu Yi to "bribe someone close to the emperor and have him report any disturbance."

Butler Qi came in a hurry to report, "The shopkeepers of the cloth shop and the perfume shop came to report that as soon as the shop opened today, someone came to cause trouble. The Lu family wanted to buy 100 pieces of Shu brocade."

"The incense shop wants one hundred boxes of incense worth thousands of gold coins. The people in the Zuo Mansion said that the queen wants to buy some, and the goods must be delivered this afternoon."

"Neither store has that much stock."

Uncle Ding, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, stepped forward and reported, "There are only ten pieces of Shu brocade. The escort agency sent to Shu to transport the goods is still on the way according to the pigeon message."

The incense shop owner Wu stepped forward and reported, "There are only ten boxes of incense worth a thousand gold coins."

Pei became more and more anxious. "They are trying to add insult to injury. How can we have so many goods when we just opened the shop?"

The late emperor died suddenly, and almost all the shops in the capital were closed in mourning.

The shop has just been opened and someone has come to buy so many goods. It is obvious that he is deliberately making things difficult for me or taking advantage of my misfortune.

Uncle Ding said, "Here comes with bad intentions."

He told the story of the Lu family coming to the shop.

As soon as he opened the door, the old ladies from the first and second branches of the Lu family came with a group of people.

The old lady of the first house is Lu Fengyun’s mother, Cheng, and the mistress of the Lu family.

Cheng walked into the shop and looked around, with a scornful expression on his fat face, "With such little goods, you dare to call yourself the largest cloth shop in the capital."

The second wife's old lady, Mrs. Zhou, smiled with a dark face, "How dare the Qi family compare with our Lu family with what they have."

Cheng said without hesitation, "We are here to buy 100 pieces of Shu brocade today. If we can't produce it, we will close the shop."

Uncle Ding smiled and said, "You don't have to close the door if you can't take it out. Madam Lu is joking."

Cheng sneered, "We are here to buy 100 pieces of Yunjin today, and 100 pieces of Shujin tomorrow. Do you have any stock? If you don't have any, will you not close the store?"

Pei was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "Lu family is a bastard, is this how you do business?"

Zheng said, "I'm afraid that because we didn't agree to the marriage with the Lu family and our father's military power was taken away, they came to seek revenge."

The family felt the frustration of being powerless and being slapped in the face by others.

Qi Wan was very angry about the Qi family being bullied at home. She felt that the Lu family had gone too far. After the marriage failed, they actually came to bully them like this.

She decided to take action personally and teach the Lu family a lesson.

So, she suggested to her mother, "Mom, I will take Wu Yi to deal with the affairs of those two shops."

When Pei heard this proposal, she seemed very nervous and worried.

She didn't want her daughter to face these troubles, but Qi Wan insisted on going.

Zheng knew very well that her sister-in-law was very powerful, so she persuaded Pei: "Mother, let Awan go and take a look."

Pei still reminded her worriedly, "Ah Wan, please don't hit anyone. We can't cause trouble at this time."

Qi Wan replied with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I won't beat them in public." After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Everyone understood what she meant. Although she wouldn't settle the score with them openly, she would definitely plot against them secretly.

Pei and her daughter-in-law Zheng looked at each other, feeling nervous and expectant.

Zheng was gloating. She thought, "As long as my aunt takes action, the Lu family will suffer."

Just think about it, if the woman who dared to say, "We are rebelling!" is not ruthless, then who is ruthless? !

The corner of Qi Lu's mouth curled up.

Qi Ze lowered his head and touched his nose.

Qi Yuan smiled and looked at Wu Yi with envy. It was great that his sister had such a capable helper.
