After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Lu Zhiran moved into the elegant building under Su Ran's arrangement. The fragrance of flowers in the courtyard drifted into the house from time to time with the breeze, filling the whole room with a fresh breath. Lu Zhiran sat in front of the window, looking at the busy palace servants outside, but his heart was full of ups and downs.

She knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait, and had to find a way to clear Fu Yuzhang's name as soon as possible. So she began to sort out her thoughts, recalling every bit of her time with Fu Yuzhang, trying to find some clues.

At the same time, Su Ran was not idle. She used her connections in the palace to inquire about the news about Fu Yuzhang's case. She knew that in order to clear Fu Yuzhang's grievances, there must be sufficient evidence to support it.

A few days later, Lu Zhiran finally found a key clue from some trivial memories. She remembered that Fu Yuzhang had inadvertently mentioned that he had visited a remote temple before the incident and had a conversation with a monk. Lu Zhiran felt that this monk might be the key witness to clear Fu Yuzhang's name.

So, she immediately told Su Ran the clue. After hearing this, Su Ran's eyes flashed with surprise: "Zhi Ran, this clue is very important! I will send someone to find the monk immediately!"

Soon after, Su Ran sent his most capable guards to the temple to look for the monk. Lu Zhiran was also not idle, she began to ask around for information about the monk, hoping to get more clues.

During the waiting process, Lu Zhiran was extremely anxious. She prayed every day, hoping that the monk could be Fu Yuzhang's savior. At the same time, she was always paying attention to Fu Yuzhang's situation in prison. Whenever she heard that he was living a relatively stable life, she would feel a little relieved.

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights of the palace reflected the mottled palace walls, as if adding a bit of desolation to the night. In this deep palace, in a remote courtyard, Lu Zhiran was sitting alone on a stone bench, staring into the distance with empty eyes. Her clothes were a little worn, her hair was a little messy, and she looked haggard.

Lu Zhiran was once a shining pearl in the palace. She was smart, talented, and loved by the emperor and the empress. However, since she was implicated in the Fu Yuzhang case and was demoted to a commoner, her life has changed dramatically. The former glory and wealth have now become a passing cloud.

Just as Lu Zhiran was immersed in endless sorrow, a harsh voice broke the silence of the night: "Hey, isn't this our once glorious sister Lu Zhiran? How come she has fallen to this point now?" The person who came was her sister Lu Nian Yao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing various expensive jewelry, with a smug smile on her face.

Lu Zhiran looked up and saw that Lu Nianyao's face looked even more charming under the light, but her eyes were full of meanness and viciousness. She felt a pain in her heart, but she still suppressed her emotions and responded calmly, "Sister, what are you doing here?"

Lu Nianyao snorted, walked to Lu Zhiran, squatted down, and looked at her carefully: "Sister, seeing you like this is really heartbreaking. However, you can't blame others for this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too stupid. You actually ruined your future for Fu Yuzhang."

When Lu Zhiran heard this, she was furious, but she still tried to hold back her anger. She raised her head, looked directly into Lu Nianyao's eyes, and said firmly, "Sister, I have no regrets about what I did. But you, for your own benefit, did not hesitate to frame your own sister. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Lu Nianyao was choked by Lu Zhiran's words. Her face darkened and she said angrily, "Retribution? I, Lu Nianyao, never believe in retribution! I only know that in this palace, only the strong can survive! Since you have become a weakling, you should accept this reality!"

After saying that, Lu Nianyao stood up and looked down at Lu Zhiran condescendingly: "Sister, you should think about it carefully. You can't turn over now. Instead of complaining about yourself here, you might as well accept your fate as soon as possible."

Lu Zhiran felt mixed emotions when she heard what Lu Nianyao said. She knew that she had lost her former status and power, but she didn't want to give up so easily. She took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Lu Nianyao firmly: "Sister, I won't give up. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will work hard to fight for it."

Lu Nianyao looked at Lu Zhiran's determined eyes, and her heart couldn't help but shudder. She didn't expect that this sister who had been trampled under her feet would still have such a strong will to survive. She snorted coldly and turned to leave: "Since you are so stubborn, I won't say more. You can do whatever you want."

Just as Lu Nianyao was about to leave, Lu Zhiran suddenly said, "Sister, I have something else to ask of you."

Lu Nianyao stopped and looked back at Lu Zhiran: "Oh? What else do you want?"

Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and said slowly: "I hope you can let Fu Yuzhang go. He is innocent and should not be implicated in this matter."

Hearing this, Lu Nianyao's face darkened: "Let him go? How is that possible! He is your lover and your weak spot. If I let him go, wouldn't that give you a chance to turn things around?"

Lu Zhiran felt a pain in her heart when she heard this. She knew that her relationship with Fu Yuzhang was Lu Nianyao's biggest handle against her, but she couldn't help but plead for Fu Yuzhang: "Sister, I beg you. Fu Yuzhang is really innocent. He has been detained for so long, enough."

Lu Nianyao looked at Lu Zhiran's tearful face, and she felt a little bit of pity in her heart. But she quickly suppressed this emotion and said coldly: "Sister, you are still too naive. There is no such thing as innocent in this palace. There are only winners and losers. Since Fu Yuzhang has already lost to me, he must bear the consequences of failure."

After saying that, Lu Nianyao left the courtyard without looking back, leaving Lu Zhiran standing there alone, looking at her receding back, his eyes filled with endless sadness and despair.

As the night deepened, Lu Zhiran sat alone on a stone bench, looking at the bright moon in the sky. She knew she had lost everything, but she still didn't want to give up. She prayed silently, hoping that one day she would be free and clear the grievances for herself and Fu Yuzhang.

In this deep palace, there are still many people fighting for power and status. They may have forgotten that the real victory is not about the status, but about the inner strength and persistence. And Lu Zhiran is such a woman with a strong heart and never giving up.
