Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Before Lu Shida arrived, Wen Xingchen had already memorized a book of Lu's military tactics.

Yingying looked at it and boasted, "Princess, you are simply a genius."

Wen Xingchen said calmly, "This princess thinks so too." After all these years, she still remembered the contents.

Xu Datou brought his men in, and Wen Xingchen asked Yingying to invite them in.

Wen Xingchen placed the Lu's Art of War that he had memorized on the desk in an ordinary manner.

After Lu Shida came in, he naturally saw Wen Xingchen, who was stunningly beautiful, and the rumors were indeed true.

Seeing that he dared to look directly at the princess, Xu Datou quickly pulled him and signaled him to kneel down.

Lu Shida was startled, then he bowed his head respectfully and knelt down, saying:

"I, Lu Shida (Xu Datou), pay my respects to Princess Huayang."

Wen Xingchen had been staring at Lu Shida since she came in. She found that Lu Shida looked very familiar. He was actually Chen Jingting's military advisor in his previous life.

"Lu Shida?"

"Yes, Cao Min is right."

Wen Xingchen asked directly, "Are you a descendant of the former great general Wang Lu Yuntong?"

Lu Shida was shocked. How did Princess Huayang know this?

Although they are descendants of the Lu family of the previous dynasty, it has been a hundred years now. Who still remembers the great general Wang of the previous dynasty?

Moreover, he is now diligent and cautious and has never done anything wrong. How could he be targeted by the princess?

"Why don't you answer? Have you forgotten who your ancestors were?"

Xu Datou felt as if he had heard something shocking. He said, "Your Highness, I remember that I have some things to do in the shop. I will take my leave now."

"Yes. Yingying sent Manager Xu."

"No, no, I will go down and guard it for you, Princess."

This is Xu Datou’s shop.

Wen Xingchen didn't say anything. Yingying walked forward, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

The sound of the door closing brought Lu Shida back to his senses.

Without Xu Datou, the room was strangely quiet. So quiet that even the sound of one's own breathing was clear.

It was already the end of October, and he was wearing a thick cotton coat, but still felt cold.

"Lu Shida, you haven't answered this princess's question yet." These words were so light, but they made people feel the pressure doubled.

But he couldn't admit it.

"I don't know why the princess said that. I have no connection with the former general Wang Lu's family."

"Lu Shida, the great general of the previous dynasty, spent his entire life in battle, campaigning north and south, devoting himself wholeheartedly and leading his troops by example. He is a hero that this princess admires very much."

"..."

Lu Shida was touched, but his vigilance remained unchanged.

"I don't understand what the princess is talking about. My family has been merchants for generations, and none of my ancestors have ever been generals."

"..."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Lu Shida, you're already here. It's too late to deny it."

Lu Shida: ...

"Manager Xu went to three places, and you are the only one who came."

Lu Shida realized something and knelt down immediately.

"Princess, my ancestor was indeed the great general of the previous dynasty."

"It is said that the former great general Wang was falsely accused of treason and betrayal, and all nine members of the Lu family were beheaded. How did you survive?"

Why live?

Naturally, it was the loyal servant of the family who substituted the prince for the cat and secretly transported his father, who was still an infant, out.

In order to preserve a trace of bloodline.

Lu Shida retorted: "My Lu family has never collaborated with the enemy or betrayed our country."

Wen Xingchen actually nodded.

"The Lu family has been loyal ministers for generations. This princess believes that the Lu family has been wronged."

Wen Xingchen's word "believe" almost made Lu Shida choke with tears.

"The previous emperor was cruel and unscrupulous, and treacherous ministers were in power, which led to the destruction of the country and the family. The Lu family is loyal and good, but they were framed by the treacherous ministers."

After all these years, someone finally spoke up for the Lu family.

The Lu family was portrayed as treacherous by historians and has been reviled for generations. This feeling is very frustrating.

"Princess, who gave you the note you sent me, and what's on it? It's the blood and sweat of the Lu family's ancestors, the military manual they wrote with their flesh and blood."

Even when the Lu family was in great trouble, they never sold this book.

How could the princess have it?

"Recently, Xixia envoys came to Beijing. Some people suspect that your Lu family is colluding with Xixia. They want to send this book to Xixia, hoping that Xixia will obtain this military strategy and turn around to attack Daliang."

"Impossible." Lu Shida reacted violently. Although the Lu family was a great general in the previous dynasty, according to the Lu family rules, fighting a war is not for the purpose of becoming a marquis or a prime minister. The Lu family only wants the people to live and work in peace and to protect the sisters in the family from being harmed.

"The Lu family didn't collaborate with the enemy? Then would you, Lu Shida, collaborate with the enemy and sell out your country?"

Lu Shida: “…”

The Lu family would not collaborate with the enemy, let alone sell out their country. Even though the Daliang of today is not the Dayong of the past.

He knelt down and said, "I dare not."

Wen Xingchen also felt that it was impossible. He was Chen Jingting's military advisor and should not be a traitor. She did not believe in Lu Shida, but in Chen Jingting.

"Has anyone asked you about the Lu family's military manual recently?"

Lu Shida shook his head.

"How did the princess get the contents of my Lu family's military manual?"

"Lu Shida, someone in your family might be collaborating with the enemy. Go back and investigate carefully to see if anyone has had contact with the Xixia envoy recently."

Lu Shida frowned.

"Princess, do you suspect someone in your family is collaborating with the enemy?"

"Yes."

"impossible……"

"If it's impossible, how could this princess have your Lu family's military manual?"

"..."

Lu Shida was a little depressed, but more angry.

If the hard work of our ancestors was passed down from the Lu family, then they would be guilty of a thousand deaths.

"I'll take my leave first."

Wen Xingchen nodded.

Yingying looked at Lu Shida, then turned back to look at her master, feeling more and more mysterious.

They served their master day and night, and had no idea how their master got the Lu family's military book.

Today was the first time they heard of the Lu family.

Yingying asked doubtfully, "Princess, how did you know that someone in the Lu family was collaborating with the enemy?"

Wen Xingchen smiled slightly.

"Guess."

"What about this military book?"

"Military books? There are only a few of them. If you read enough, you can write one."

"The princess is truly a genius."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"This princess also thinks so. If this princess were to take the imperial examination, she would definitely be the top scorer."

"That's what the princess said."

Wen Xingchen looked at Yingying and thought to himself: You are so easy to fool.

Less than three days after this incident, Lu Shida handed over the military book that the Lu family regarded as a treasure.

A full basket.

"Your Highness, the Lu family has been loyal for generations and would never collaborate with the enemy."

"Oh, then you can find out if there are any thieves in the house."

Lu Shida shook his head.

"Princess, the Lu family would never collude with the enemy or betray the country. As for what's in your hand... someone must have insulted the Lu family."

"In that case, this princess naturally believes you. As for who is slandering me, this princess will also find out."

"Yes, thank you princess."

Lu Shida left the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. After he could no longer see the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he quickened his pace and quickly ordered the servant, "Hurry, go home."

However, this scene of Lu Shida was discovered by Ah Hai who was guarding the door.
