Shengjing Noble

Chapter 141 Paying murder to kill someone

Liu Ruyan finally reacted, the hatred in her eyes became more and more obvious, and she asked with gritted teeth: "You did all this on purpose!"

Lu Wanjun said impatiently: "Yinyin, don't waste time talking to them, just hand her over to the government. Just the charge of hiring a killer is enough to make her suffer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Youdao walked out from behind the crowd, followed by several soldiers.

"I have understood what happened just now. Madam Su, please come to my office!"

Liu Ruyan was in a panic, her face no longer showing the calm and beautiful look she used to have. She grabbed Su Yongcheng and hid behind him.

"I won't go! I am innocent, they are the ones who are slandering me! Master, please let them go away..."

Su Yongcheng stood there, the disbelief in his eyes had not yet faded, and he was in a state of confusion.

He didn't know who to trust.

Liu Ruyan had always been dignified, gentle and submissive in front of him, and he didn't want to believe that she would do such a thing.

But with the IOU in front of him and the servant on the ground identifying it with his own mouth, he couldn't help but believe it.

With so many eyes watching him, if he openly protected Liu Ruyan, people would say he was a corrupt official and the news would get out.

If the emperor knew about this, what future would he have?

Thinking of this, his eyes became firm, and he turned to Liu Ruyan and persuaded her, "Ruyan, go with them first. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, you will be safe. I will figure out the rest. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any injustice."

Liu Ruyan looked at him in disbelief. Her husband, who had been so affectionate and loving to her in the past, actually did not choose to protect her.

At this moment, it would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed. She was disheartened and stood there for a while, not knowing how to start.

Liang Youdao immediately waved his hand upon seeing this, and the officers and soldiers nearby rushed forward together, dragged Liu Ruyan, who was hiding behind Su Yongcheng, out, and took her to the bottom of the stairs.

"Mother!" Su Lanxin finally couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed the old lady towards Su Shenghao and rushed down directly.

The person who traveled through time and space and treated her the best was Liu Ruyan. She was not a cold-blooded person, so naturally she cared about her.

"How can you arrest people at random?"

Liang Youdao replied coldly: "There are witnesses and evidences. Who told you that I arrested people randomly?"

"You can't arrest my mother!"

"Little girl, I advise you not to interfere with public affairs, otherwise you will be arrested too!"

"If you want to catch my mother, you have to step over me first!"

Su Lanxin rushed forward, stretched out her arms and blocked the middle, looking very confident.

This is how it’s played out in TV dramas. As long as she says this, the other party will be helpless.

Unfortunately, she didn't expect that Liang Youdao didn't take her seriously at all. He moved his fingers, and the two soldiers next to him rushed forward and clamped Su Lanxin's arms on each side.

Then, the two of them lifted her up and threw her aside.

"What are you doing? Let me go! You can't arrest my mother..."

Su Lanxin was surprised. Why was it different from what was shown in the TV series?

She still refused to give up and was about to rush forward when a knife was placed across her neck.

"According to the Dasheng Law, those who obstruct public affairs will be exiled to the army at the very least, and will be executed without mercy at the worst. You can execute them first and report later!"

Liang Youdao held the knife, his stern face filled with a chilling look that made people timid.

His eyes were dead, as if he would really kill someone at any time.

Su Lanxin was completely scared. Although she had seen some worldly things, she would still be afraid if she had to use a knife.

So he shut his mouth and dared not say anything, watching Liang Youdao and others take Liu Ruyan away.

Lu Wanjun felt that the evil anger in her chest had dissipated by one tenth, and she finally smiled with relief.

As for the follow-up, that is not her business to worry about.

"Yinyin, let's go."

"it is good."

Su Lanyin nodded and helped Lu Wanjun and her three brothers get on the carriage.

……

The new house is twice as big as the Su Mansion, and its decoration and furnishings are more upscale.

There were no rules that officials could violate, and each of their rooms was decorated in extreme luxury.

This time when he left the Su family, he only brought loyal servants with him. As for the others, as long as their indentures were in Su Lanyin's hands, he basically let them go.

There are few servants that the Su family can use now, except for those like Wenli who sell themselves out for fame and fortune. After all, her indenture is in the hands of the Su family.

After severing ties, the first thing Lu Wanjun did was to change the surnames of her children, but the Sheng Dynasty's policy on changing surnames was too strict.

Not only does the father have to show up, but all clan members also have to sign and put their fingerprints on it, otherwise the surname cannot be changed.

After all, men were still respected in this dynasty, and it was rare for children to be expelled from the family tree.

Since it was too troublesome, Su Lanyin persuaded her mother not to worry about it and to take it slow. Even if they did not change their surname, they would no longer have anything to do with the Su family.

"This is the restaurant we took back from Su Yongcheng. This is the money Liu Ruyan gave to Fourth Brother a few days ago. It's all here with me. Oh, and here's the IOU written by Su Yongcheng."

Looking at the house deed, banknotes and IOU that Su Lanyin handed over, Lu Wanjun couldn't help but burst into tears again.

She thought all her efforts over the years had gone to waste, but unexpectedly her daughter still got some of it back for her.

It's not just about money, it's more about relieving the knot in her heart.

"Thank you, Yinyin. You have done so much for me..."

"You are my mother, and I should do anything for you. You protected me when I was a child, and now that I have grown up, I will naturally protect you. As long as I am here, no one can bully you and your brothers!"

She clenched her fist and placed it on her chest. It was not just a casual remark, but a vow to the heavens.

In this life, she never wants to lose her mother and brothers again.

Where they are, that is the real home!

Lu Yichen sat aside and slammed the table angrily: "What's the use of this IOU? A few days ago, I asked him to pay back the money, but he said he didn't have the money and kept putting it off. We can't just keep wasting time with him, right?"

"Don't worry, he has no choice but to pay it back, even if it means losing everything he has, unless he doesn't want to be an official anymore."

"how you said that?"

"The emperor pays the most attention to the personal conduct of officials. If I report him to the emperor for not paying his debts, I wonder how he can survive!"

"You're the best!" Lu Yichen gave her a thumbs up!

……

The day of the imperial examination finally arrived.

Early in the morning, Lu Wanjun and Su Lanyin got up to prepare for Su Shengyun, and then the family sent him to the examination room.

I happened to meet the Su family who came to see Su Shenghao off.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. For a while, the two groups glared at each other, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Just one day after the divorce, Lu Wanjun was no longer as casual as before. She not only dressed up carefully but also put on makeup. She looked completely new and even her mental outlook was completely different from before.
