After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Jiang Xue Ning took her people back to settle Lin Ran down, and then took people to the military camp.

I didn't get back home until late at night. As soon as I entered the house, Qinghe ran over and said, "Someone from the Lu family is here. We've been waiting for two hours."

Jiang Xue Ning paused for a moment, probably because she noticed that Aunt Mo was missing.

As soon as I entered the reception room, I saw Lu Zhen and Mrs. Lu. They both had gloomy faces and looked very depressed.

Jiang Xue Ning walked over and sat in the main seat. She took a sip of tea and then said, "I wonder why you two came here so late at night?"

Lu Zhen said sarcastically, "The prince is really a busy man, appearing and disappearing mysteriously."

In the Hunan and Chu areas, no one dared to make him wait so long for a long time.

Jiang Xue Ning seemed not to have noticed his tone, and said seriously, "I am indeed very busy. After all, Qingzhou's 100,000-strong army will soon reach Hunan."

Just a simple sentence, and Lu Zhen felt broken and hurt again. He always felt that she was showing off.

The biggest disadvantage of these noble families is that they have no military power. Although they also raise private soldiers, they cannot compete with a real army.

Mrs. Lu couldn't sit still anymore and asked anxiously, "Where is Cheng Yuan? Ask him to come out and see me."

"I don't know what the Madam wants to see Cheng Yuan for?"

"Anyway, let him out first!" Mrs. Lu said impatiently.

Jiang Xue Ning put the teacup heavily on the table. "He has been ordered to carry out a mission and cannot come out to see you for the time being."

Mrs. Lu asked three times in an impatient tone, "When did you leave, where did you go to carry out the mission, and when will you be back?"

"No comment!"

Madam Lu's face turned completely cold, and she took a breath, "Is he really on a mission, or is it for some other reason? Aunt Mo in the mansion just happened to be missing."

This was bad news for her. Over the years, she had relied on her status as the mistress to control Aunt Mo and had made Lu Chengyuan compromise on many things.

Now that bitch Ning Lan had brought her illegitimate child to her house, she needed to borrow Lu Chengyuan's power to deal with the mother and son.

So Aunt Mo’s sudden disappearance made her very uneasy.

Jiang Xue Ning didn't indulge her either, and said directly in a cold voice, "Where did he go? This prince has no obligation to explain to you. As for Aunt Mo, that is the family affair of the Lu family. Do you want me to deal with it?"

Mrs. Lu hadn't been confronted like this in a long time, and her face was extremely excited for a moment.

"I'm his father, I have the right to know where he is."

Jiang Xue Ning leaned back in her chair and chuckled, "But I just don't want to say it. What does Lord Lu want?"

Although Lu Chengyuan secretly left Xiang for Baidu City, he had only been gone for one day, so she certainly would not expose his whereabouts.

Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes and said with a dangerous look, "Young people really have bad tempers. Even if the Lu family has made no contributions over the years, they have worked hard. It's too obvious that the prince wants to get rid of him once he takes the throne."

The Ye family was wiped out overnight, and Lu Chengyuan's whereabouts were unknown. Lu Zhen obviously felt the danger and spoke aggressively.

She was not easily frightened, and said calmly, "I naturally remember Cheng Yuan's skills, so I don't need you to remind me."

"It's the Lu family who owes me an explanation."

"Qinghe, go get the account book on the desk in the study."

The atmosphere was strangely silent until Qinghe brought the account book.

She said, "Show it to Lord Lu."

Lu Zhen took a deep breath, opened the account book, and his expression became uglier and uglier. Over the years, although Lu Chengyuan was too strong to let them touch the power, they made a lot of money in other ways.

The more he looked, the darker his face became. "What does your lordship mean by this?"

"Shouldn't the Lu family give me an explanation?"

It is impossible to spit out the money that has been swallowed, and it is even more impossible to give up the benefits that have been obtained, and of course there is no way to explain.

He said with a specious reasoning, "There is a saying that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you are too harsh, you will not be able to accomplish great things."

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things." Jiang Xue Ning said coldly, "The army is about to go out. Since the Lu family has made so much money, it's not too much to take the lead and show some support."

"After all, if you only take in and don't spend, you won't achieve anything great."

Lu Zhen was furious, but he also knew that he couldn't confront him in public. "Since the prince is unwilling to reveal Cheng Yuan's whereabouts, we will take our leave."

Jiang Xue Ning said to his back, "I am waiting for the Lu family's sincerity and explanation."

"Aren't you afraid that if you push the issue too far, the cornered dog will do something desperate?" Jiang Li walked in.

She yawned, "Then let him dance once and see his strength."

A desperate dog will lose his composure and reveal his weakness. She doesn't have the time to waste time with them.

She didn't have the intention of killing them all. As long as these noble families put aside their arrogance and ambition, they could achieve a win-win situation.

"Go to bed early. We have a banquet for the troops tomorrow."

Lu Zhen returned to the Lu Mansion with a gloomy face, and smashed the teacup on the table as soon as he entered the study.

"She's just a woman who relies on men to get to the top. She really thinks she's something."

The brothers of the Lu family all came, and Mrs. Lu's legitimate son asked with concern, "Father, who made you angry?"

Lu Zhen briefly explained the matter, stroking his beard and said, "She suddenly got angry, what do you think?"

Young Master Lu said, "Of course we can't spoil her. If she does it the first time, there will be a second time. Even if we have mountains of gold and silver at home, it won't be enough for her to move."

Lu Zhen was obviously not satisfied with this conventional answer. He looked at Ning Yuan who was standing quietly beside him and asked, "What do you think, Yuan'er?"

"I have studied her life." Ning Yuan said, "Before the Gu family fell, she was the apple of the Jiang family's eye. Later, she was exiled to the countryside. When she met the King of Qingzhou in Qingzhou, she was only eleven years old. It only took her three years to become a powerful princess."

"After entering the capital, she seemed to have done nothing, but in the end, when she was only half a step away from the throne of the empress, she killed the emperor and escaped unscathed.

With such a woman and her past, those who underestimate her will be in big trouble. "

Young Master Lu said unconvincedly, "According to what you said, should the Lu family just give themselves up to her and let her control them?"

Ning Yuan sneered, "Young Master is a capable man. If you want to rush up and kill her, you can. No one will stop you."

"you…"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lu Zhen said in a deep voice, "Be quiet, if you want to quarrel, get out of here and quarrel."

Lu Zhen said with a headache, "Yuan'er, stay and tell me the situation in Cangnan in detail."

He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. It was time to find a way out for himself.

Mrs. Lu and her son left the study. She looked back with a gloomy face and said, "I will never allow him to surpass you, and I will never allow the Lu family to fall into the hands of a bastard."

"It should...not be..." Young Master Lu said hesitantly.

Madam Lu sneered, "Men are the most heartless. You are his son, and that bastard is also his son. And he is more useful now."

It's time for her to make some plans. That bitch Ning Lan shouldn't try to take away everything that belongs to her.
