Lu Qingzhou also knelt before him and complained, "Granduncle, please give Qingzhou justice. My mother is a princess of the royal family, so why can Lu Dongnan just divorce her as he wants? He even wants to give the throne to that sickly bastard. What am I then?"
Li Wang's sharp eyes fell on him, and he suddenly kicked him out.
"Qing Zhou!" Old Madam Lu was so frightened that she rushed forward to support him after he rolled several somersaults.
The face that originally looked like a decent human being was now covered in dust and blood and was completely unbearable to look at.
Madam Lu was heartbroken. She angrily demanded, "Uncle, why did you do this to him? Didn't I tell you that Qing Zhou accidentally injured your daughter? How could you kick him so violently?"
Prince Li looked at her sarcastically, "Do you know Wanwan is pregnant? If anything happens to her, can you bear the consequences?"
Old Madam Lu was stunned. She had no idea at all.
She subconsciously argued, "Since she's pregnant, why doesn't she stay at Marquis Zhan Yi's residence to take care of the baby? Why is she running around to the Duke of Ying's residence to meddle in other people's business?"
Prince Li spoke indifferently, "You should know that I am very protective of my son. Your son stabbed Wanwan, so let him end his own life!"
Madam Lu's eyes widened in shock. "What did you say? You want my son's life? He just accidentally injured your daughter. Your daughter is a treasure, but my son is just weed? Don't forget, if I hadn't sacrificed my life to marry into the Lizhou Alliance, how could the court have obtained tens of thousands of war horses?"
Prince Li frowned and said, "Do you know how much the Sheng Dynasty paid to get you back? The two offset each other, the royal family doesn't owe you anything!"
Madam Lu's expression instantly became complicated and ugly. She never expected that Prince Li would dare to negate her efforts in public.
She interrupted angrily, "No matter what, you are not allowed to kill my son. You are deliberately erasing my contributions to the royal family. Aren't you afraid that the other royal ladies will be disheartened? When you were in need, you held me in high esteem, but now that you don't need me anymore, you're abandoning me?"
Lu Qingzhou was truly frightened by this scene. He begged repeatedly, "Uncle, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. I don't want the position of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion anymore. Please, spare my life!"
King Li frowned and looked at him: "Do you really know your mistake?"
Lu Qingzhou quickly replied, "Indeed, I will not only apologize to the Marquis's wife, but I will also kowtow to my elder brother and make amends. As long as you are willing to forgive me, I will immediately get out of the Duke of Ying's mansion without hesitation!"
Madam Lu didn't expect her son to give in so quickly. She hurriedly stopped him, "Qing Zhou, what nonsense are you talking about? You are his son, Lu Dongnan's biological son. Why are you asking to leave the house?"
Lu Qingzhou sobbed and wailed, "Mother, please stop fighting. You can't win. Just let your son live in peace for a few days. Please!"
After hearing his words, Mrs. Lu felt mixed emotions.
At this time, Lu Dongnan and Zhan Yan also came back from the palace after asking for the imperial edict. Seeing Lu Qingzhou's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but feel sad.
He knelt down before Prince Li and said, "Prince, please spare his life for the sake of this old minister."
Prince Li looked at him calmly, "Southeast Lu, although I haven't been back in the capital long, I have heard about the bastard things your son has done. He owns the Dou Shou House in the south of the city, right? First, he cheated people out of their money, then forced them to sell their wives and daughters. He keeps them all in the villa of your Yingguo Mansion. Did you know?"
Lu Dongnan froze all over. How could such an unfilial son do such a wicked thing?
He subconsciously glared at Madam Lu, who was standing beside him and was equally stunned: "Do you understand?"
Madam Lu shook her head like a rattle. "Impossible! My son was just having fun. How could he do such a shameless thing? Someone must be deliberately slandering him!"
King Li nodded and said, "Since you say it's slander, then I will send people to investigate. If it is confirmed that he is not involved, then I will spare his life. But if his crime is proven, I will kill him without mercy!"
Lu Qingzhou was so frightened that he went crazy. He cried and begged Madam Lu: "Mom, help me!"
Madam Lu reached out and patted him: "Don't be afraid, son. We can't accept the dirty water for things we haven't done. With mother here, no one can wrongly accuse you!"
A hint of panic flashed in Lu Qingzhou's eyes, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.
Soon, the secret guards under King Li captured the owner of the Beast Fighting House.
He knelt on the ground with a pale face and said, "My humble servants, I work for the prince. I first lured the common people to bet on various small beasts. After they lost, I forced them to sell their wives and daughters. If they were not pretty, they were sent to brothels. If they were good-looking, they were taken into the dark room of the beast fighting abode!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu felt dizzy.
She rushed forward like a madman and cursed the shopkeeper: "You are talking nonsense. How could my son do such a vicious thing? He just likes to play around. I believe you when you say he visits brothels and casinos, but I absolutely do not believe your slander that he bullies men and women and forces good women into prostitution!"
The shopkeeper was hit several times by her, but he still said stubbornly: "Madam Lu, so many nobles are watching, I really dare not lie!"
Madam Lu glared at him with her scarlet eyes and shouted, "Tell me, how much money did the person behind the scenes give you to frame my son? I'll give you double, so tell me now!"
The shopkeeper struggled to break free from her and said, "No one gave me any money. I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, go back and ask the prince, under whose name is this Dou Shou Ju registered?"
Madam Lu subconsciously looked at Lu Qingzhou, and saw him speak with difficulty: "You, under your name!"
She could no longer hold on, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted instantly.
Lin Yiwan was also shocked by what happened outside. She thought Lu Qingzhou was not a good person and originally wanted to teach him a severe lesson, but she didn't expect that he would commit a serious crime.
She couldn't help but squint her eyes and sigh: "It has to be my father. The thing he found out can directly nail Lu Qingzhou to death!"
Doctor Lin couldn't help but speak up, "Wanwan, you mustn't be so reckless next time. That guy is certainly hateful, but you don't need to put yourself in danger!"
Lin Yiwan muttered softly: "It's just a little skin broken, Grandpa, you don't have to be nervous!"
Doctor Lin frowned and glared at her: "Isn't there always a chance of something happening? If something happens to you, how many people will be sad and upset?"
Before Lin Yiwan could say anything, she looked up and saw Zhan Yan standing behind Doctor Lin.
She touched her nose nervously: "A Yan, you're back?"
Zhan Yan didn't care that Doctor Lin was right there, he rushed over and held her tightly in his arms.
Doctor Lin turned around and walked out, still admonishing: "Pay attention to the wound!"
