The queen of the end times is reborn and goes crazy, her whole family is burned to death

Lu Yangbu looked at him in disbelief, "Dad, you..."

Before he could finish his words, the servant's thick stick fell on his legs.

"Ow!"

Then, his leg was bent at a weird angle and broke.

Chen Mei'e and Lu Wanru couldn't help but cover their mouths, looking at the person lying on the ground wailing in horror.

"Yangbu!"

"elder brother!"

At this time, Lu Yangbu had lost consciousness due to the pain, but his eyes filled with hatred still instinctively looked at Lu Wanru, "You hurt me..."

Those few words had already consumed too much of his energy. His body twitched and he suddenly fainted.

Lu Wanru hid behind Chen Mei'e in fear, shaking her head in denial, "No, it wasn't me."

Chen Mei'e patted her back and said soothingly, "Yes, it's not you. It has nothing to do with you."

Her face showed both fear and pity, but no regret.

Yan Wanwan couldn't help but marvel at this. It was the first time she saw a mother who loved her daughter but not her son. It was really strange.

In contrast, Lu Zhengping was much more normal. In order to get on the second prince's boat, he even destroyed his own son. He was very decisive.

The air was eerily quiet, with only the cries of the two people remaining.

Lu Zhengping's eyes were calm, but the more calm they were, the more frightening it was.

He stared at Lu Wanru and the other two and said, "Now that Yang Bu's legs are broken, you should go to the Second Prince and plead for mercy. When the Second Prince forgives Yang Bu and the Lu family, you can come back."

Lu Wanru pursed her lips tightly, feeling extremely unhappy, "Father!"

"Why did Yang Bu's legs have to be crippled? You two know better than anyone else."

His words immediately drained the color from their faces, and they both lowered their heads, not daring to respond.

What infuriated Lu Zhengping the most was that these two people were so clueless, hiding their actions and doing it without anyone noticing. Because they were so obvious, the guests only needed to think about it to know the truth. That would truly humiliate the Lu family and make them lose face in the entire Jingzhao.

Lu Zhengping took a deep breath and ordered his servants to pack up Lu Yangbu's things and send them to Xiangguo Temple for retreat immediately.

"Master!" Chen Mei'e still felt sorry for her son and pleaded, "Yang Bu's leg was just broken. Can't we wait until it heals before sending him?"

Lu Zhengping sneered sarcastically, "Now you feel sorry for your son? Without my permission, the Second Young Master is not allowed to leave Xiangguo Temple."

She wouldn't think that after something like that happened, just breaking Lu Yangbu's legs would make the Second Prince feel no resentment, right?

The Second Prince's reputation has already been damaged. If this gets to the Emperor's ears, who knows how big a stir it will cause. It may even become a lifelong stain. How can he let it go when he will never have the chance to hold that position again?

Only if he punishes more severely can he calm the Second Prince down, thus saving Lu Yangbu's life and truly protecting him.

Chen Mei'e panicked and staggered back. She had never expected that the lie she told to help her daughter would completely ruin her son's life.

She knelt powerlessly on the ground, crying out helplessly, "I didn't know. Yang Bu loved martial arts so much. He was going to take the exam to become the champion. Now that his leg is broken, how can he take the exam? How can he live? Master, you are so cruel. He is your own son."

Lu Zhengping laughed out of anger. The good things they did turned out to be their own cruelty. Who was so cruel as to push his son to a dead end?

He yelled at the servants, "What are you still standing there for? Take him away immediately."

The servants immediately took action, simply applied medicine to Lu Yangbu's broken leg, and while he was still unconscious, they rushed him to Xiangguo Temple without stopping.

In addition, Lu Zhengping also specially sent four guards to protect his safety. It was more of a surveillance than a protection to prevent anything beyond their control from happening again.

Only then did he have the energy to deal with other things. He looked at Yan Wanwan and the other person with cold eyes.

"General Qin, I wonder what brings you to the Shangshu Mansion this time?"

He knew that Lu Wanru and Lu Yangbu were planning to frame Yan Wanwan, but he didn't know that Yan Wanwan was so powerful that she could escape with the conspiracy of the two of them, and used all the tricks they planned to use on herself on Lu Yangbu, making him suffer the consequences.

On the one hand, he hated Yan Wanwan for disregarding the reputation of the Shangshu Mansion, acting cruelly and ruthlessly, and ruining his beloved son; at the same time, he also hated the daughter he had raised for more than ten years, but she pushed away her brother who loved her so much for her own selfish desires. With such a cold and selfish character, how could the Shangshu Mansion benefit from her? He was afraid that in the end, she would raise an ungrateful person.

No matter what Lu Zhengping thought, Yan Wanwan didn't even want to care and didn't want to waste a single brain cell on him.

Qin Yu said, "I heard that Minister Lu wants to ask for the Ice Spirit Flower, the treasure of our General's Mansion. This is why I came here."

Lu Zhengping was stunned. When had he mentioned this to Qin Yu?

Seeing his silence, Yan Wanwan immediately said, "Minister Lu, you haven't mentioned this to General Qin yet, have you?"

Lu Zhengping immediately came back to his senses and asked, "General Qin, what will it take for you to be willing to part with the Ice Spirit Flower?"

Initially, his plan was to persuade Qin Yu to use the Ice Spirit Flower as a betrothal gift, but the betrothal gift had already been given, and asking for more would make the Shangshu Mansion appear greedy, so the only options left were exchange and purchase, neither of which he wanted.

Qin Yu was unusually easy to talk to and directly took out a list and asked Ling Ying to hand it to him.

"This general doesn't ask for much. If you prepare all these things, this general will naturally offer the Ice Spirit Flower to you."

When Lu Zhengping took a look at the list, he almost died on the spot.

Had Qin Yu gone through their storeroom? Everything they had left was recorded there, without missing a single detail.

He hesitated, "These..."

Qin Yu interrupted him, "I know these mundane things can't be compared to the Ice Spirit Flower, but since our two families are about to become in-laws, there's no need to worry too much about these mundane things. You can just prepare these, and there's no need to add anything else. Just going through the motions will also put those gossipers away."

Hiss~ How come he doesn’t know that there are people gossiping about this?

Lu Zhengping felt hurt by his words. If he really gave these things away, the Shangshu Mansion would not even be able to afford the food for the next day and would become penniless.

"General Qin, the matter of the Ice Spirit Flower is not urgent. I have something to do at home today, so I will not keep you here."

Qin Yu said nothing, but just asked Yan Wanwan to go out together.

Lu Zhengping looked at the two people's departing backs with resentment, which really proved the frustration of wanting to kill her but not being able to.

"hehe!"

Qin Yu turned his head to see her covering her mouth and laughing, and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm happy that Lu Yangbu was used and then betrayed by his beloved sister. I wonder if he will still love Lu Wanru sincerely in the future?" Yan Wanwan smiled with gloating joy.

“Is this something to be happy about?”

"I'm a vulgar person. I just like to watch dog-eat-dog drama."

"It seems that Minister Lu is not going to exchange for the Ice Spirit Flower. What are you going to do?"

Yan Wanwan smiled meaningfully and said, "That's not up to him. Haven't you been prepared for this?"

Qin Yu was slightly surprised that she even knew her own back-up plan.

That evening, a carriage hurried out of the palace.

The eunuch held the imperial edict and said coldly, "Master Lu, accept the edict!"
