After knowing Lu Xuan's arrangement, Ye Rong, Qin Shu and others keenly realized that something was wrong. When they heard that Jiang Sheng had a safe place to hide his things, they took out all their personal belongings and gave them to Jiang Sheng.

Qin Shu also handed over to her the indentures of the maids who had served in the mansion for many years. Jiang Sheng knew her intention, and then put all the things into the system backpack. However, before she could check for any omissions, people from the Jingji Guard came to her door.

Because of their past relationship with Lu Wenzhou, they were quite polite to the Lu family.

"Madam, General, please come in."

Lu Zhenghe said calmly

"I dare to ask what crime the Lu family has committed that would require you to go to such great lengths to arrest us."

The leader bowed and said

"Please forgive me, General. We are just following orders."

Lu Zhenghe said in a deep voice

"On orders? On whose orders?"

The leader said

"Your Majesty's order."

"Dare you ask me what the Lu family has done wrong?"

At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Lu Zhenghe led the Lu family to kneel down, and then listened to the eunuch in charge read out word by word.

"Lu Lin was guarding Fengcheng, but he was greedy for merit and rushed forward recklessly. He made poor command and was ambushed while chasing the remnants of Beiyuan, resulting in the massacre of 50,000 soldiers.

Lu Ming was guarding Lingcheng but deserted his post and sent troops to support Fengcheng, which resulted in the fall of Lingcheng and the displacement of the people.

Immediately, all members of the Lu family will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and we will make a decision after Lu Ming and Lu Wenchuan are escorted back to the capital."

Lu Zhenghe's face darkened when he heard this.

"Excuse me, sir, my eldest son Lu Lin and my eldest grandson Lu Wenzhou..."

The eunuch snorted and ignored him. Jiang Sheng came forward with a purse.

"Eunuch, take these and have your tea."

The eunuch in charge narrowed his eyes, weighed it, and then said casually:

"We don't know the details, but it is said that Lu Lin and Lu Wenzhou have died in the battle."

Jiang Sheng was stunned on the spot. She heard these words clearly, but seemed not to understand them.

He said, Azhou is dead?

But he wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he would be back soon.

I just didn’t receive a reply for a few days, how could he be dead?

Jiang Sheng was extremely sad, she even wondered what the meaning of her rebirth was!

The person I wanted to protect still failed to protect him.

Azhou still died.

Even though Jiang Yuanzheng was killed and the eldest prince was overthrown, nothing changed.

In this life, they only spent a short half month together.

She lost him again.

Jiang Sheng felt as if all the flesh and blood in his body was placed on a millstone and was being crushed inch by inch.

It turns out that people really do have moments when they are in so much pain that they can't breathe.

Suddenly he felt a fishy and sweet taste and Jiang Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yingqiu quickly supported the man

"Young lady!"

Jiang Sheng waved his hands weakly.

Ye Rong and Qin Shu, who were standing by, could not bear the shock and fainted at the same time. Li Ling and Zhao Chunwan quickly supported them and pinched their Ren Zhong points.

The entire general's mansion was suddenly filled with heart-piercing cries, like awls piercing everyone's chest.

Although Lu Zhengchuan did not speak, the grief in his eyes was even greater. To him, the grief of losing his son and grandson was unspeakable and he had no way to vent it.

Jiang Sheng looked at everything around him without any reaction, standing there in a daze like a puppet.

Everything around me seemed to have turned into a silent movie.

She covered her chest with her hands, feeling the dull pain that reminded her all the time that Azhou had left her again.

At this time, the leader of the Jingji Guard came forward

"Please come in, old general."

Lu Zhiqing cried and asked her

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law...what should I do..."

Seeing Jiang Sheng standing there without answering, she shook her arm again.

"Sister-in-law..."

Seeing that all the Lu family members were about to be taken away, Zhao Chunwan suddenly stood up. With red eyes, she walked to the front of Jiang Sheng.

"Sheng'er, you and Wenzhou have been married for a short time. Before Wenzhou left, he left a letter of divorce.

Now that the Lu family has been convicted and Wenzhou is dead, you are still young, and we absolutely cannot drag you down any longer."

After saying that, he took out the divorce letter from his sleeve.

"From today on, you will have nothing to do with our Lu family."

Jiang Sheng's tears suddenly flowed out

"Aunt San...you...you don't want me anymore?"

Zhao Chunwan held her hand and said quickly and quietly

"Your Third Uncle specifically told me that if you want to leave, you will be free. If you want to stay, you can stay outside and act accordingly."

Jiang Sheng came back to his senses and looked at the young and old people crying in the yard. Then he realized that now was not the time to be sad.

She failed to protect Azhou, but she must protect the rest of the people.

She took the divorce letter and said in a deep and firm voice:

"In this life, I am a member of the Lu family when I am alive and a ghost of the Lu family when I die. This is the only thing that will never change."

Zhao Chunwan looked at Jiang Sheng while crying, and she knew that Wenzhou had not chosen the wrong person.

She wiped her tears and said with sobs

"Oh, by the way, tell the Qin family, the Li family, and the Zhao family to be prudent and protect themselves. Don't act rashly. As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood."

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly and wiped the blood from his mouth.

"Okay, Sheng'er will definitely bring it here."

Seeing this, the Jingji Guards no longer made things difficult.

Because Dongchen has such a law, if the husband's family commits a crime, the daughter-in-law will not be held accountable as long as she obtains a letter of divorce.

Ye Rong stood up and looked at the maids and servants who had followed them for many years.

"Your indentures are in the hands of girl Sheng. Now that the Lu family is imprisoned, you can each seek your own future. However, everything in the mansion has been confiscated, and I cannot give you any money to support you. I, the Lu family, am sorry for you."

The maids who had been with him for many years knelt on the ground crying.

"Old lady...I won't leave..."

"Madam..."

"Second Madam...I am your dowry...You said you would take me with you wherever you go..."

"Madam, I want to go with you..."

Ye Rong said in a deep voice

"Don't be stupid. If you continue to follow us, you will only become slaves. You know the fate of slaves.

Now that our relationship as master and servant has ended, go...think about your family and live a good life."

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng took out the indentures from the system backpack and distributed them one by one, reminding them

"Take the indenture contract and remember to go to Jingzhaoyin to re-apply for household registration documents."

There were still two photos left in her hand, belonging to Yingqiu and Yingyue. She looked at them.

The two of them bowed and said

"I swear to follow the young lady until death."

"I swear to follow the young lady until death."

Jiang Sheng smiled and took back the contract.

"it is good."

A yamen runner nearby looked at their leader.

"Boss, is this okay?"

That leader is a man who sees everything.

"As long as all the Lu family members are here, the rest will not be our concern. Now the Lu family has just been put in jail, and the outcome is still unknown.

Don't overdo anything. Don't forget, there are two more people in the palace."
