Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

On the way back to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, Lu Zhanxing was laughing so hard in his carriage that he was bent over backwards. He even gloated: "I think the young marquis is very satisfied with this apology gift, hahahaha..."

Lu Zhanyan looked at his younger brother lovingly, smiling so happily. The anger in his heart also dissipated a little. He raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Are you relieved?"

"Hahaha, almost. I guess he won't dare to come out and see people for a long time."

After laughing enough, Lu Zhanxing couldn't help but worry: "What if the emperor finds out?"

"There is no evidence. Even if His Majesty knows, there is nothing he can do. Just rest assured!"

There were undercurrents in Lu Zhanyan's cold eyes. His Majesty wanted the Mo family and the Lu family to confront each other?

It also depends on whether Lu Zhanyan agrees!

Seeing his elder brother speak so calmly, Lu Zhanxing believed it and smiled at his elder brother who looked like a banished immortal: "Brother, you are so kind! I am so happy to be your younger brother!"

Her villain boss is awesome!

Lu Zhanyan restrained the coldness in his eyes and revealed a gentle look.

You reap what you sow!

How could he turn a blind eye to what his brother had done for him?

The two brothers returned home in a very good mood.

Mu Qingli also went to Liuliyuan to visit.

"Mr. Lu, are you okay?"

Lu Zhanxing was in a very good mood, leaning on the soft couch and eating cakes, without showing any sadness from being scolded before.

"Mr. Mu! Come and sit down. I want to tell you..."

Good mood should be shared, and Lu Zhanxing told him about his counterattack without hiding anything.

Seeing the enthusiastic Lu Zhanxing, Mu Qingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of smile in her eyes: "This is too good for him, you are..."

Mu Qingli gave Lu Zhanxing another suggestion. Lu Zhanxing was stunned, and then he couldn't help but clap his hands: "Great!"

"As expected, Mr. Mu, hahaha..." Lu Zhanxing felt better.

It’s different when you have a think tank!

next day

Marquis Yongping abused his power to bully others, abducted women, and even relied on the emperor's favor to become more fearless. His bad reputation for causing trouble everywhere spread throughout the capital.

Some officials who had grievances with the Mo family directly submitted impeachment memorials to the court, especially those of the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince, who did not want the Fourth Prince to have an easy time.

Mo Feiyu is the only child of the Mo family, and his elder sister is married to the eldest son of the Duke of Qing's mansion, which means he has a nepotism relationship with the Fourth Prince. How could they let Mo Feiyu help the Fourth Prince?

Emperor Qian was furious in his heart, but he appeared calm on the surface. He immediately issued an edict to reprimand Marquis Yongping for his actions.

He was ordered to stay at home for a month to reflect on his mistakes until he realized them.

When he returned to the imperial study, Emperor Qian sighed deeply. He had just humiliated the Duke of Anguo's Mansion yesterday, and the Duke of Anguo's Mansion fought back, leaving Mo Feiyu with no power to fight back.

In addition, the Fourth Prince had offended the other two princes, and they spared no effort to make things difficult for the Fourth Prince, which made it difficult for him, as the emperor, to continue to favor him.

Thinking of the talented and resourceful Lu Zhanyan, Emperor Qian was deeply afraid.

The Lu family is not only good at leading troops in battle, but they can also train such outstanding men even if they are good at martial arts...

Thinking about his own sons, he couldn’t say they were bad, but they were not as outstanding as Lu Zhanyan after all.

Although the Lu family has never had any disloyalty since the founding of the country, the Lu family is too outstanding and he is always worried.

Emperor Qian's eyes were slightly cold, with a hint of coldness and murderous intent flashing in them.

The Lu family...cannot be kept!

Zhang Ruiquan, who was standing aside, was in a state of complete fear, for fear that he would be affected by the cold Emperor Qian.

At this time, in the mansion of Duke Qing, Yang Jingyi learned about the young marquis's experience. How could he dare to join in the fun? He could only stay in his own mansion, writing a tearful letter to his eldest brother, telling him how he was bullied and how bad his mortal enemy Lu Zhanxing was...

Mo Feiyu, who was beaten black and blue yesterday, was confined to his house the next day and broke a lot of valuable porcelain. He didn't know why this happened. He was just attracted by the appearance of a widow and just wanted to spend a night with her, but why was he confined to his house in the end?

The only person who had a grudge against him was Lu Zhanxing from the Anguo Mansion, and it must have been her who sent someone to beat him up that day.

He is also responsible for my impeachment, how hateful!

He remembered this grudge.

After the Fourth Prince learned about Mo Feiyu's experience, he knew that the Mo family still had many old subordinates. In addition, Mo Feiyu's sister married the eldest son of the Duke of Qing's mansion, his mother's family. Therefore, the 45th prince were his own people.

He immediately sent someone to deliver gifts to express condolences, and also did not forget to ask the person who sent the gifts to flatter the Anguo Mansion.

This made Mo Feiyu hate the Anguo Mansion.

But during Mo Feiyu's house arrest, he inexplicably heard some seemingly plausible voices.

"General Mo had finally repelled the enemy and returned to the main camp. How could he die? How pitiful it is for the young marquis to be left alone!"

"Isn't it? There are so many military doctors in the main camp, how could our general die so quietly? It must be that the people above can't tolerate them and are worried that his achievements will overthrow the emperor."

"You know what, this is really possible. Poor little Marquis, he has to return to the capital alone and still be grateful to that person..."

"Isn't this a typical case of giving a sweet reward after a beating? This reminds me of another great general who also repelled the enemy a few years ago, but ended up..."

"You are talking about General Lu. I know that. But I don't believe that General Lu is greedy and reckless. General Lu is a brave and resourceful man. How could he do such a thing? Other officials may not be unable to understand what we can understand, but if the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die..."

"Yes, it won't do if you have too much merit, and it won't do if you have no merit. Alas, the Heavenly Family is so ruthless!"

"Go away, why are you saying this? Our young master is pitiful enough, we can't let him hear it. Sweep your floor well, I have to go to work."

One maid was watering the flowers while another was sweeping the floor diligently, as if the conversation just now was not about them.

But Mo Feiyu, who was standing behind the rockery, heard it clearly. His heart suddenly sank and his face turned pale, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

He remembered that his father was fine when he returned to the main tent, and he had been injured before. How come he lost his life just after winning the battle this time?

This made his initial feeling of gratitude towards the Saint disappear completely. He didn't want to think about it before, but now that he thought about it, how could such a good thing be possible?

His father died suddenly, and his mother also passed away due to excessive grief, leaving him alone. Fortunately, the emperor sent someone to recall him and made him a marquis, which made him extremely grateful to the emperor.

But now think about it, all of this has a purpose.

No wonder the emperor recalled me back to Beijing and sent people to take over the southwestern border so quickly. Is he trying to gain control of the Mo family army?

Or do you want to earn fame?

Why did His Majesty protect me and why did he confer the title of Marquis on himself?

Is he also afraid that people will know his narrow-minded nature?

When he returned to his room and saw the rewards sent by the emperor and the fourth prince again, he no longer felt much gratitude, only grief and anger.

He smashed them all in anger, feeling extremely uneasy, and could only relieve the pain in his heart by smashing things.

The servants all thought that the young marquis had lost his temper because he was reprimanded by the emperor, so they all kept silent and became even more cautious...

Duke Anguo's Mansion

"Reporting to the prince, it's done!"

In Lingyayuan's study, Xiao Lanjue said with a smile.

After all, Mo Feiyu was a child who grew up in the border area. He had no scheming at all and he believed it all after being provoked.

He didn't even think about how two illiterate maids could know these secrets?

If he had any scheming in mind, he wouldn't have believed it completely.

Therefore, Lu Zhanyan also knew that this trick was only suitable for targeting Mo Feiyu. If it were someone else, he would have to plan more carefully.

Hearing this, Lu Zhanyan, who was sitting at the desk, nodded with satisfaction. He had already planted the seeds for Mo Feiyu. It all depended on whether that boy was still willing to be of the same blood with the enemy who killed his father.

After Lu Zhanxing learned that Mo Feiyu was under house arrest for reflection, his thoughts became clearer.

He happily went to find Mu Qingli...
