Chapter 87 Extremely Hypocritical
The banknotes Lu Manman took from Li Minpei had already been spent on opening Caiyuan branches, and the business of the four branches was better than expected.

Many out-of-towners came to the capital just to have a taste of Caiyuan Inn’s unique ice cream! ! !

That is unprecedented good stuff!

It melts in your mouth, cold and silky!
Therefore, Lu Manman didn't have anything else, but he had a lot of money and nowhere to spend it.

It’s just a private school, no problem at all!
Lu Manman only needs to think about it. If the private school becomes popular in the future and all the students get academic honors, become marquises and become prime ministers, then she, Lu Manman, will be perfect!
Then there is no need to worry about the road to Nanchang? Yan Dongze?

Walk directly across the capital! ! !
Just thinking about it, Lu Manman couldn't help but chuckle, and Chen Xue was confused.

"Manman...what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay! Let's go see the yard!"

Lu Man Manle could hardly close her mouth from ear to ear. She held hands with Chen Xue and happily went out to buy things for the private school.

Lu Manman and Chen Xue left the mansion, which made many servants and maids confused.

It was clear that something had just happened in the Tutor's Mansion today, why did the Second Young Lady and the Young Mistress go out happily?

Could it be that the second lady has already thought of a solution?

Lu Nanchang was urgently summoned by the emperor and hurried to the palace.

Now that Lu Manman and Chen Xue have also left, Lu Xiyao is the only one left in the house who is still locked in the room...

"What did you say? Something happened to brother?"

Lu Xiyao was ordered by Lu Nanchang to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. Now that there was no one in the house, the maid next to her dared to secretly tell Lu Xiyao what happened today.

"Yes, the people from Jinyiwei came this morning and took away the young master and Su Meimei. Even the Taifu was called away by the emperor..."

So many things happened in the Taifu Mansion in one day.

It is impossible for the maids and servants not to be afraid. If the Taifu really commits a crime, what will happen to them, the maids and servants?

"Because of the private residence?"

When Lu Haonan and Su Meimei were arrested, the first thing Lu Xiyao thought of was the Wangxing Pavilion case!

Seeing such a big posture today, Lu Xiyao finally knew why Li Minpei was so angry that day...

If the rumors were found out, even she, Lu Xiyao, would be implicated!

"Mother!"

Lu Xiyao slowly closed her eyes, and the scene when Li Minpei saw her that day kept popping up in her mind.

That night, Li Wenpei was very happy. Even if she could only open her eyes, her eyes showed her joy at seeing Lu Xiyao.

But what did she do! ! !
In order to prevent Li Wenpei from opening her mouth and to frame Lu Manman, she actually put a silver needle into Li Wenpei's head with her own hands.

Every time Lu Xiyao dreams, what she dreams about is Li Minpei looking in pain and wanting to scream.

Li Minpei stared at her deeply with eyes mixed with helplessness and despair. She never closed her eyes until she died...

"Mother... I was wrong... I was really wrong..."

Lu Xiyao kept condemning herself in her heart, but the person was dead, and it was useless to say anything now!
A tear slowly slipped from the corner of Lu Xiyao's eyes, dripping on the table with a hint of sadness.

The reflection in the bronze mirror shows the beautiful woman crying. It is so beautiful. Looking from a distance, the back view is endlessly poignant...

Lu Xiyao's conscience was condemned in the room, and Lu Nanchang, who was summoned by the emperor, was not much better!

Accept bribes and buy and sell official positions!
Bribe Makino and risk his life to take the blame!
In the end, He Huange was bribed to cooperate with him to cover up the rumors!

No matter which one of these it is, it is enough to send Lu Nanchang to jail! ! !
"Your Majesty! I was wrong! I will punish or beat you, old minister!" In the main hall, Lu Nanchang had a correct attitude and did not defend himself at all.

Because Lu Nanchang knew that with the emperor's temperament, the more he argued, the more fuel he would add to the fire!

In that case, the emperor might be so angry that he might just order the whole house of Taifu to be confiscated!

Just like Zhang Chengfeng back then...

Although Zhang Chengfeng was reported by Lu Nanchang, he was sentenced to death with just one letter.

But if he, Lu Nanchang, hadn't been fanning the flames, the emperor wouldn't have impulsively ordered the entire Zhang family to be wiped out!
Lu Haonan's incident happened unexpectedly, so tonight not only Lu Nanchang was summoned urgently, but also Prince Xie Qian came!

Lu Nanchang knelt down solemnly, his heart calm and composed.

Before entering the palace, he had already sent someone to deliver a message to Xie Qian.

The little tricks he and Xie Qian did in private, just the murder of the third prince Xie Si, were enough to save Lu Nanchang's life tonight!
From being at a loss at first, Lu Nanchang gradually calmed down and now had a solution in mind, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake in the hall.

"Father, Taifu has always done things safely, but now that I think about it, he was too worried about Lu Haonan, so he did something wrong! I hope that Father, in recognition of Taifu's hard work and merits, will save Taifu from death!"

Xie Qian didn't want to get involved in Lu Haonan's affairs, but Lu Nanchang sent him a message!

If he didn't come under such circumstances, he would inevitably be criticized!
What's more, Xie Qian was worried that if Lu Nanchang didn't save him, Lu Nanchang would eventually choose to fight him to the death!

Tell them all what they did! ! !

Therefore, Xie Qian had to step forward to plead with Lu Nanchang...

However, Xie Qian knew the emperor's temper. If he directly begged for mercy, the emperor would think that they had already formed a clique in private for personal gain, and would involve him, the prince, in it.

The main hall was quiet for a moment, and the emperor looked at the crowd under the main hall with cold eyes expressionlessly.

For a long time, just when Lu Nanchang thought his life was in danger, the emperor finally spoke.

"Tai Tuo Lu Nanchang has lax discipline, harbors criminals, and has unmatched moral integrity. From today on, he will be removed from the post of Tai Tu and demoted to prime minister!"

"And Lu Haonan can be exempted from death penalty, but cannot escape from living crime. He will be exiled to the border and will never return to Beijing!"

The emperor stood up slowly, said these words solemnly, and then turned and left.

Lu Nanchang is capable and talented. Nowadays, only Lu Nanchang can assist the prince Xie Qian!

And Lu Haonan was his son. If he ordered his execution, it would inevitably chill Lu Nanchang's heart.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, the emperor finally decided to spare Lu Haonan's life.

"Thank you, Lord Long!"

Lu Nanchang couldn't stand up for a long time and shouted loudly. It wasn't until the emperor left that he slowly stood up.

"Thank you, Prince!"

Lu Nanchang knew that if Xie Qian didn't come forward, the emperor wouldn't be able to let them go so easily.

Therefore, even though Lu Nanchang knew that Xie Qian was not really protecting him, Lu Nanchang still pretended to thank Xie Qian.

Ever since Lu Haonan's accident, Xie Qian had been putting on a show of keeping away from the Tutor's Mansion, obviously not intending to help.

Now he is threatened by Lu Nanchang and has to help!
Lu Nanchang felt like a mirror in his heart, Xie Qian had no intention of marrying him.

It's just to whet his appetite and win over cooperation, it's extremely hypocritical! ! !
