Chapter 358: Da Chu is about to be destroyed
Kong and Zhao walked out from behind the screen with complicated expressions.
She felt sorry for Lu Xinlan's experience, but she was very troubled when she thought that if she divorced and returned home because of this, it would have a great impact on Lu Xintong and the others in the future.
She couldn't say anything to stop it, and it was not appropriate to even mention this matter to Pei in private.
But what about her children?
Lu Xintong was going to be coming of age in July. She had originally planned to wait until spring came and various mansions started to hold banquets, and then she would take her with her so that she could show her face in front of the ladies of the various mansions.
In the past, Lu Kangping was just a teacher in the Imperial College and had no official position, so it was not easy for his daughters to find satisfactory marriages.
Now that he has an official position and Lu Jinchuan has made it clear that he wants to allocate more resources to him, she has begun to think about finding a good family for her daughters.
As a result, as soon as she came up with this idea, it seemed that she was forced to stop it.
Kong felt heavy-hearted and couldn't help but sigh silently as she looked at the girls in the room.
Lu Xinran had just come back to his senses from his messy thoughts when he saw that Kong looked a little heavy.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and one could guess what she was worried about without having to look through Kong's pamphlet.
If it were in the past, she would have patted her chest to guarantee that her two younger sisters' marriages would be taken care of by her.
But after what happened to Lu Xinlan, she had discovered the drawbacks of the system.
No matter how completely the system records a person's life, the human heart is unpredictable and cannot be recorded in plain words.
She couldn't use the system to guarantee anything. She could only use it to add a layer of insurance for her two sisters, that's all.
Pei took note of the expressions of everyone in the room, waiting to talk to Kong in private later.
Lu Xinlan didn't want to stay in the Lu Mansion and make things difficult for Mrs. Pei, so not long after Tang Quyan left, she left the Lu Mansion with Lu Xinran.
Since it involves the Tang family's reputation and Tang Chongli's reputation, the divorce will definitely not be smooth.
It was still unknown what Tang Quyan would say to Liu after returning home this time. If she stayed in the Lu Mansion, Liu would definitely come to her house given her personality.
If she had always maintained a tough attitude, Pei wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation.
She was afraid that Liu would give in and come to the Lu Mansion to cry, make a fuss, or even threaten to hang herself. Even if Pei was on her side, she would have to consider other people in the family in order to not damage the reputation of the two families. The result would definitely not be what she wanted to see.
She stood outside the Lu Mansion, looked at Lu Yuanheng who came hurriedly with accusatory eyes, and immediately turned around and got on the carriage.
Even if she didn't go to Prince Wei's Mansion, she couldn't stay in the Lu family for this period of time.
"What are you rushing over for? If you start accusing me of being ignorant and not considering the overall situation, I advise you to swallow all this bullshit."
Seeing that Lu Yuanheng was about to rush over, Lu Xinran raised his hand to stop him, directly blocking the man a few steps away.
"Please stop smelling like a dad.
"Home is a place of support and a safe haven, not just dogma and constraints. If you still think of yourself as her brother, then think carefully about how to be someone who can give her support.
"If you only think about yourself, then get out of here right away. Take those disgusting words back with you. Don't say them out loud to make people feel sick."
After saying this, Lu Xinran signaled Tracy and the other two to stop the people, then turned around and got on the carriage.
Lu Xinlan sat in the car with a wry smile on his face.
"Why didn't I listen to you at the beginning? If I had stayed in Yucheng Pass, I wouldn't have had so many troubles."
"What kind of trouble is this? How do you know that life after marriage is sour and difficult if you haven't tried it? It's life experience. Didn't you advise me before? Why do you become sentimental when it comes to you?"
Lu Xinran deliberately used a very light tone, and then he put his arm around her shoulders and glanced at her chest.
"Just tell me whether Tang Chongli is useful or not. Do you feel any loss after using him?"
Lu Xinlan: “…”
I knew that this dead girl can only say three sentences seriously!
Being disturbed by her like this, the depression in her heart eased a little.
The carriage left the alley where the Lu residence was located, and the two began to pay attention to the movements outside the carriage while talking.
It was not until the car returned to Prince Wei's Mansion that they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, just stay here peacefully. Unless you want to meet someone who is an eyesore, I won't let any of them in front of you."
After personally sending the person back to his residence, Lu Xinran returned to his room.
Song Junyan went to the government office right after the morning court session. There had been a lot of official business piled up that needed to be dealt with during this period of time.
An imperial edict issued during the morning court session was like boiling water dropped into an oil pan, setting the entire capital on fire. Now everyone is in danger.
He didn't want to be approached by people asking for shelter after he returned home, so he might as well show up in front of people and not give anyone a chance.
After he arrived at the government office, he asked someone to deliver the message to Prince Wei's Mansion. When Lu Xinran returned to the main courtyard, he received the news that he had gone to Shuntian Mansion.
He didn't come back. Although she had some doubts in her mind, they were not urgent, so she suppressed them and continued to go to the study to copy Yunsong's booklet.
In the following days, many families in the capital were jointly searched by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. Someone made suggestions to the emperor, and no one knows what he said, but the emperor finally only confiscated their property and demoted them to commoners instead of exiling them.
This alone was enough to terrify everyone on the list. Some wanted to secretly hide some gold and silver jewelry, some were anxious to sell their property, and even the servants tried to sell it.
The capital was in complete chaos.
Lu Xinran had been paying attention to the news in the capital. What surprised her was that Liu had been very quiet and had not gone to the Lu family or found the Prince of Wei's Mansion.
Her silence meant that they had accepted the fact that Lu Xinlan wanted a divorce?
Song Junyan has been very busy these days. There is chaos in the capital and many messy things happening in the government office.
Before, I went to the government office with the intention of avoiding suspicion, but these days I have been so busy that I can't finish my work.
Lu Xinran counted on his fingers and waited for the half-month deadline, but only half a month passed and there was still no movement from the Tang Mansion.
Tang Quyan wished he could sleep in the Dali Temple during this period, and Lu Jinchuan was so busy that he had to return home late at night. The heads of the two families were so busy that they had no time to breathe, and the divorce was delayed.
Lu Xinran always felt that these two people did this deliberately, but Lu Xinlan was not in a hurry. She could only mutter a few words and then continue to watch the excitement in Beijing.
"Sister, do you think that in this way, the influence of the several princes in the court can be completely eliminated?"
Half of the court officials are gone, and it feels like the Great Chu is doomed.
The situation is changing every day, and even though Lu Xinlan is sharp-minded, he can no longer see what the future will be like.
"Let's wait and see, after this round of cleansing is over, we'll see who will be the winner in the end."
With so many people being purged, someone has to fill the vacant positions.
The chaos in the capital has just begun, and there is still invisible fighting to come.
