The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 38 A mouth that is always good at lying
"well said!"

The loud laughter woke up everyone in the room, and they all turned to look over.

Lu Shanyuan's eyes fell on the leader, Minghuang Longpao, and he jumped up in fright.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Lu Shanyuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

When Lu Wan saw Prince Li Haoyu, she was surprised and happy, thinking that the emperor was right?
Marquis Wenxin simply clasped his fists and said in a casual manner, "Your Highness."

Li Haoyu returned the gift, "What a coincidence, Marquis Lu is here too."

"Yes, in the name of the old lady Xie, I came here to give betrothal gifts to the two girls of the Lu family." Marquis Wenxin said with a smile, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince have a purpose?"

When he was entrusted by the imperial concubine and Mrs. Xie to leave the palace, the emperor had not yet issued any decree. How could the imperial decree be changed overnight?

Li Haoyu didn't answer his words. He looked around and sighed, "The last time I came here alone was five years ago. At that time, it was still the private residence of the Duke of Qin... In the blink of an eye, things have changed and people have changed, but I can still feel the character of the Qin family. It’s everywhere.”

Lu Wan's nose felt sore.

Yes, five years ago, my grandfather’s family still lived here.

Mrs. Lu's old face stiffened, and she hurriedly led everyone to salute the prince. Li Haoyu bowed slightly and returned the salute, "Mrs. Lu, there is no need to be more polite, everyone is exempt from the courtesy."

At the same time, he winked at Lu Wan playfully.

When the whole hall was surprised to see the prince, they suddenly heard a surprised voice, "Ah, King Yama!"

Everyone looked in shock. When they saw the slender black shadow outside the door, the cheerful and lively hall instantly fell into an ice cave.

There was silence for a moment.

The man standing at the door didn't want to go in. He was stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes, so he simply walked into the house.

He was wearing a dark silver floating cloud robe and a silver rat fur. He had a white and cold face, but he had a pair of twinkling eyes, gorgeous but cold to the bone, able to dig deep into the heart.

Just one look at someone will make them panic inexplicably.

Realizing that the atmosphere had changed too quickly, Li Haoyu explained, "Master Yan is accompanying me on this non-official trip, but to deliver something for someone else."

These words did not dispel everyone's fear of this person, but instead made them even more nervous.

The Imperial City Secretary was the emperor's confidant, with one hand imprisoning the palace guards and the other hand spying on the courtiers. They were all selfless and ruthless.

Especially the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, whose methods are cruel and moody. No matter who is bitten by him, all of his skin will be shed even if he is dead.

This person never showed up, and when he showed up he would either ransack his home or kill someone.

Once, he personally gave a gift to the Minister of Punishment... a human head.

Mrs. Lu quickly glanced at her son. Could it be that something had come to light?

Could it be that the Minister of Rites is holding on to the matter of the fourth child?

Lu Shanyuan felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and his mind quickly went over what he had done. There was nothing extraordinary. Now that the Lu Mansion can't even reach the center of power, it shouldn't be targeted by the Imperial City Secretary, right?
Xie Zhiyan coughed lightly, stepped forward and clasped his fists, "Yan has met Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, and Mrs. Lu."

Lu Wan was stunned, why is he here?

What does Xie and Lu's employment have to do with him?

Then, Li Haoyu took his seat, Wen Xinhou and Lu Shanyuan sat down on the left and right. Xie Zhiyan leisurely lifted up his dark silver-patterned robe and sat down at Lu Shanyuan's lower right.

Lu Shanyuan suddenly felt that the right half of his body was frozen.

The hall was filled with large mahogany boxes tied with red ribbons. It was originally bustling with joy, but someone looked like a white jade sculpture of the Lord of Hell, and the atmosphere immediately changed.

There was silence in the originally lively hall, not even a breath could be heard.

"Master Yan, aren't you here to deliver things for others?" Li Haoyu tilted his head and looked at Xie Zhiyan.

This guy has changed his face and seems to have changed his temperament. He is a good young man and a civil servant, but he looks so vicious.

It almost scared a group of people to death.

Xie Zhiyan slowly opened his lips, "Well, Yan has nothing to do, so in order to make a good relationship, he sent a betrothal gift to the eldest daughter of the Lu family on behalf of Crown Prince Xie."

A group of people: "..."

The ruthless Yan Yunhe has always only made bad connections, who would believe that he would make good ones?
When Lu Shanyuan heard this, he exhaled a long breath.

It scared him to death.

Hey, no, giving a betrothal gift?
"Who are you giving the betrothal gift to?" Mrs. Lu just breathed out and blurted out in shock. Lu Wan also looked at him curiously.

Xie Zhiyan said slowly, "Send a betrothal gift for the dead Xie Zhiyan."

Li Haoyu suppressed his laughter and added an explanation, "Prince Xie had a very good relationship with Lord Yan during his lifetime. Many of Crown Prince Xie's things were kept by Lord Yan. When he dies, he will naturally be the wife of the future prince."

Xie Zhiyan waved his hand.

Twenty cold-faced soldiers in black robes and dark red robes came in from the door.

The two men carried in ten large black boxes, and the whole room suddenly became depressing.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Xie Zhiyan seemed not to notice the strange expressions of everyone, and looked straight at Marquis Wenxin, "I just heard that Marquis Lu was going to give Xie's second wife's concubine gift to Xie Shizi to be his first wife? This is an act that is ethically unreasonable and does not distinguish between superiority and inferiority. Does it mean Xie Mansion or Lu Hou?"

Wen Xinhou stood up reflexively, "It's not me."

Xie Zhiyan glanced at Mrs. Lu and Lu Shanyuan with cool eyes, "Didn't we already agree that Miss Lu will marry Prince Xie? What? Are the Lu family going to regret it?"

"No, no." Lu Shanyuan and Mrs. Lu stood up together and waved their hands.

"Of course it won't be Marquis Lu and Marquis Lu. The appointment to the Xie family is naturally the intention of the Xie family." Li Haoyu smiled to smooth things over.

Didn't Xie Zhiyan bring ten boxes in a hurry and drag him to the Lu Mansion to give him a betrothal gift?

Why do you look like you're here to try a case?

Marquis Wenxin felt that he was nervous. He sat down and raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right."

Lu Wan wanted to laugh in her heart.

really.

When she saw Marquis Wenxin move out the fourth-grade imperial edict, she knew that the concubine had not succeeded. Otherwise, holding the imperial edict would have been enough to force her. There would be no need to go to such trouble, exchanging the dowry, the fourth-grade imperial edict, and letting the dignified Marquis Wenxin Come press her a little girl.

As for why the prince and the eldest princess did not reply to her, it must be that it takes time to change the imperial edict.

Therefore, she can delay it for a while.

Xie Zhiyan's eyes fell on the fourth-grade imperial uniform, and his tone rose, "Fourth-grade imperial uniform?"

As soon as Marquis Wenxin's butt hit the chair, he bounced up like it was on fire, "Asshole, who asked you to take out Madam's old court uniform! You haven't put it away yet."

The boy was so frightened that he quickly ran away holding his imperial edict and taking his clothes.

What does the Imperial City Division do? He specializes in plotting evil things in the court, and likes to catch people by their pigtails. If he is bitten, his skin will peel off.

The imperial uniform is a reward from the palace and can only be worn when entering the palace. It cannot be taken out at will, nor can it be used to swindle.

Marquis Wenxin is also afraid.

The whole room was dumbfounded.

It turns out to be Madam Wenxinhou’s old court uniform?
Mrs. Lu and Lu Shanyuan didn't dare to say anything, and they were secretly glad that they didn't force Lu Wan to accept it just now.

Lu Wan's eyes were red with grievance, "Master Lu said this was the imperial concubine's licking makeup. If I agree to accept the concubine gift and marry Xie Huaiyu, I will be granted a fourth-grade imperial title. But I promise to be the crown prince, but I will die in this life." The person who died is the son of the prince, so how can he marry a second time?"

Xie Zhiyan's mouth twitched.

The little girl had a harmless and bright face, her eyes were full of water, and she felt extremely aggrieved.

Could it be that this little girl also lost her face?
He doesn't have a red face when he lies, and his heart doesn't beat. He also has a mouth that is used to lying.

Li Haoyu almost lost his composure and quickly brought back the topic with a serious look on his face, "The imperial concubine promised a fourth-grade imperial concubine? Thank you Huaiyu? Do you remember that he has not become an official?"

Xie Zhiyan's eyes turned cold, "Could it be that Mr. Lu is pretending to convey the imperial concubine's wishes? Or is it that the imperial concubine is pretending to convey the holy will? Such acts of chaos should be reported to the Holy One."

How dare he use his imperial edict to force his future wife?

Marquis Wenxin's butt stopped in mid-air just as he was about to sit down, and his whole body became stiff.

Why are the charges getting bigger and bigger! !
There was no sound of breathing in the whole room.

Lu Shanyuan complained secretly, now he had offended Marquis Wenxin and the noble concubine.
