She said sadly, "Father, my mother-in-law suddenly passed out due to illness, but they ignored her and said it was Marquis Zhan Yi's order and refused to let their daughter-in-law send her back to the yard to rest!"

Duke Lu said in a cold tone: "Apologize!"

Pei Yun raised his chin proudly and shouted at the guard arrogantly, "You roadblock, what are you looking at? My father-in-law is talking about you. Why don't you kneel down and apologize?"

Before the guard could say anything, Duke Lu shouted angrily, "Pei Yun, I'm talking about you!"

Pei Yun froze, her eyes wide with disbelief as she asked, "Father, why me? What did I do wrong?"

Duke Lu accused him, "Of course you did something wrong. They were imperial envoys, and they were officials of high rank. Calling them dogs is disrespectful to the royal family."

When Pei Yun was in the Pei family, she was the apple of the eye of the old censor Pei and the old lady Pei.

After marrying into the Duke of England's mansion and having the support of her mother-in-law, who was a princess, she had long developed an arrogant and domineering character that bullied the weak.

How could she apologize?

She just wanted to kick the guard hard to be done with it!

She refused without hesitation: "Father, I am not wrong, I will not apologize to him!"

Duke Lu did not tolerate her and directly snatched the sword from the guard's waist, raised the handle and hit her knee hard.

"Bang!" Pei Yun screamed and fell to the ground.

Madam Lu dared not pretend to be unconscious, and immediately opened her eyes and asked, "Duke, what are you doing? Why did you hit Pei Yun?"

Duke Lu raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "You woke up quickly, aren't you pretending to be unconscious?"

Madam Lu's heart suddenly sank. The old man's tone was not right. Did he know something?

She frowned calmly and explained, "I'm not pretending to be dizzy. I just stood for too long and my head is a little confused!"

Duke Lu gritted his teeth and looked at her: "Shameless vicious woman, first explain to me, what is this medicine?"

He smashed a scarlet medicine bottle on Madam Lu's face, causing her eyes to suddenly widen.

She subconsciously asked: "Did you search my room?"

The Duke of Lu didn't hesitate and slammed a black bundle onto the ground, saying, "If I hadn't searched your room, I wouldn't have known how shameless you are. Where did you get this filthy thing? You've really exposed our country's eyes!"

Some strange objects appeared in front of everyone, which immediately made Mrs. Lu's eyes red.

She quickly rushed over to cover it, her face full of panic and anxiety.

Pei Yun had sharp eyes and could tell that those things were things she had seen in picture albums, which said that they were things women used for pleasure in their bedrooms.

She never expected that her mother-in-law, who was so old, would still indulge in such extravagance!

Or is it that the old man is not good enough?

Is that why she can't stand being lonely?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked towards the Duke of England.

Duke Lu understood very well what his daughter-in-law's look meant, and he almost fainted from anger.

He shouted angrily, "Bitch, you are so shameless, do you know your crime?"

His brazen shouting made Mrs. Lu so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

She is a royal princess, how could she be insulted by him like this?

She forced herself to speak: "Duke, even if you don't care about my face, you should at least consider the face of the royal family. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame?"

Duke Lu took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhan Yan and said, "Marquis Zhan Yi, have all these guards withdraw and keep watch. She's right. She can do shameless things, but I can't forget that she is still the princess of the dynasty!"

Zhan Yihou nodded: "Okay!"

As all the guards retreated, Madam Lu's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Her face turned pale as she looked at Duke Lu: "Do you really want me to lose face in front of outsiders? We still have the Crown Prince!"

Duke Lu was filled with disgust. How could this woman have the nerve to mention the Crown Prince? How could she do such a thing to his own son with her dirty hands?

He glared with bloodshot eyes and roared: "You care about the prince, so you bully Qingyu? He is also my son!"

Madam Lu tried to argue, "I didn't. Others may not know how much I value Qing Yu, but don't you? What stepmother in this world would personally serve him? How could you hurt my feelings?"

Duke Lu was so angry that he was going crazy. This crazy woman still thought that he didn't know about the dirty things she had done?

Without any further hesitation, he stepped forward, grabbed Madam Lu's arm, and staggered towards Lu Qingyu's yard.

Mrs. Lu didn't dare to pick up the things scattered on the ground, so she just stood up and chased after him.

When he rushed into the house, Duke Lu pointed at Lu Qingyu lying on the couch and said, "Tell me yourself, how did you take care of him personally? Do you dare to tell me?"

The moment Mrs. Lu saw Lin Yiwan, her vision went dark.

She hated this bitch so much, but she couldn't escape her after all.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to say it? Countless times when the eldest son fell ill and his life was on the line, I always tried every possible way to get the imperial physician for him and stayed by his side without taking off my clothes!"

She was certain that Lu Qingyu would not reveal all those things out of consideration for the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.

Who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lu Qingyu say in a hoarse voice: "Everyone thinks that the old lady treats her stepson with great care. In fact, you took advantage of my weakness and tossed my body back and forth with your hands. Do you think I don't know?"

Madam Lu's face turned red instantly. She never expected that Lu Qingyu would say this in front of everyone.

She immediately denied it: "You're talking nonsense, Lu Qingyu, you're so bold, how dare you slander your stepmother, are you still a human being?"

Lu Qingyu sneered from the depths of his throat: "Stepmother, do you think that what you did is unnoticed by anyone? I am sick and cannot move, but that doesn't mean I am a fool. You are not a loving mother at all, but a shameless and despicable whore!"

Madam Lu gritted her teeth and retorted, "Well, you, Lu Qingyu, you and your son have teamed up to humiliate this princess, haven't you? I will report this to the emperor right now and ask him to give me justice!"

She pretended to stand up and walk out, but was stopped by Zhan Yan who was standing at the door.

She complained dissatisfiedly, "Marquis Zhan Yi, are you going to let them throw dirty water on the princess of this dynasty?"

Zhan Yan said slowly, "Madam Lu, we have the witnesses who testified that you bullied Mr. Lu, as well as the physical evidence that you were trying to murder him. Even if you go before the Emperor, you won't get any benefit at all!"

Madam Lu pretended to be dumbfounded: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I want to murder him?"
