Woken up by the clash of swords and blades at night, Huo Wei immediately got out of bed and ran to the window to the lookout.
The two secret guards that Lou Ye gave her had shown up and were fighting against the six men in black. The six men were completely ruthless and fierce as if they wouldn’t stop until they killed someone.
Her heart sank as she thought of her identity. It seemed that there was a big secret about her identity, and only the emperor could find it out. Otherwise, her enemy wouldn’t have made no move before and suddenly wanted to kill her now.
Shaoyao also woke up. When she saw the situation outside, her face turned pale. She endured the fear and said, “Miss, are we going to run? I, I will protect you. Let’s go to King Qin’s mansion! “
“No, it’s more dangerous outside than at home. Here is protected by secret guards. If we go outside, we will be slaughtered.”Huo Wei observed the situation outside with a serious look on her face.
These two secret guards were carefully trained by Lou Ye, and their skills were very good. However, the assassins sent by her enemy were not weak. The six people had already faintly suppressed the secret guards.
She went to the box to find the crossbow that Lou Ye gave her, aimed at the assassin, and shot through the window!
With a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the gap between an assassin and the secret guard and directly stabbed into the arm of another assassin. The assassin missed the chance to hurt the secret guard and lost his weapon.
The secret guard reacted quickly and grabbed the assassin. The assassin retreated continuously under the injury. He wanted to escape, but his thigh was cut. He gritted his teeth, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he died!
Shaoyao took a deep breath and said, “He’s dead!”
Frowning, Huo Wei shot another arrow, hitting one assassin’s leg!
The assassin’s body was out of balance all of a sudden. He staggered and was cut in the chest by the secret guard. Then he fell to the ground. The assassin on the other side took this opportunity to stab Huo Wei. Huo Wei dodged in a hurry, and Shaoyao rushed to protect her with fear.
When the secret guard saw this, he immediately rushed over and tried his best to block the assassin with his injuries. At the same time, Huo Wei just shot an arrow through the assassin’s waist, letting the secret guard take the opportunity to knock him out.
The assassin saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat, but the two secret guards had sent a signal before. At this time, Lou Ye arrived with four secret guards and eight guards. They came directly to catch the rat in the trap!
After catching an assassin, Lou Ye immediately went to the room to check on Huo Wei and asked nervously, “Are you hurt?”
Huo Wei shook her head, raised the bow in her hand, and said, “I have this and helped them.” She paid attention to the situation in the yard and said, “Capture them alive. We have to ask the person behind them.”
“Don’t worry. They know what to do.”Lou Ye took her to sit down and poured her a glass of water. “Are you scared?”
After a moment’s silence, she suddenly felt scared. When she saw the assassin just now, she was not afraid at all. She just wanted to use the bow and crossbow to help. She had practiced these things in her previous life.
But now she began to be afraid. It was not a shooting, not a drill, but a real killing!
If she died here…
She shivered all of a sudden. Lou Ye immediately held her in his arms and comforted her in a soft voice.
Huo Wei closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. In her heart, she asked, “System, what will happen if I die?”
“Abnormal death. You may become extremely weak or die directly.”
Huo Wei felt weightless. She had never thought what would happen if she died by accident. If her previous guess was right, her “passing through” was only her brain consciousness, then if her brain consciousness was seriously damaged, she was very likely unable to wake up in the main world.
She would become a vegetable, or die directly, or… Her brain would be disordered and become a mental disease.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she straightened up and said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’m fine.” This was the world where her consciousness was built. She was the master here. As long as she was strong enough and indestructible, no one could hurt her badly.
She didn’t need to be afraid. She just needed to become stronger and stronger and become an absolute strong warrior in the spiritual domain. Then she wouldn’t have to be afraid of any danger.
After all, she had lived for two lifetimes. In her current memory, she had lived for at least more than 100 years. She had rich experience and seen everything. She had always been strong when facing strong people. So after a short period of fear, she was stronger than before.
She heard the noise outside. The assassin must have been caught, and he had killed himself. She frowned and said, “Do you have someone suspicious? As soon as our majesty ordered to investigate my background thoroughly, six daredevils were sent to kill me. Why am I so important? As a woman, I can’t compete for family property or the title. Why should he want to kill me? “
Lou Ye also frowned and couldn’t understand. “Logically speaking, it was difficult to investigate what happened sixteen years ago. At this time, they should do less than to do more. The more suspicious they are, the harder it is for us to find clues. I think they did the same thing before, so the government has investigated for so long, and no one wants to harm you.
Unless your existence is a great threat to them. Since our majesty wants to investigate it thoroughly, they dare not bet whether our majesty can find it or not. Once he finds out, they can’t afford the consequences, so they take the risk and hope to kill you with one blow.
If anything happens to you, our majesty will be furious and will still investigate it thoroughly. It means that as long as you are not here, even if our majesty finds out, they can turn the tables. “
Huo Wei had filmed so many plays in her previous life, and she had read and studied countless scripts. When she heard this, she couldn’t help laughing. She approached Lou Ye and whispered, “It sounds like I’m a princess. If I were a princess, it would be reasonable.”
A thought flashed through Lou Ye’s mind. He wanted to seize it, but he couldn’t remember it. He had to give up for the time being. He patted Vivian’s arm and warned her, “You can’t take a joke. You’ll be miserable if someone hears it. Let’s go out and have a look. “
There was no sound outside. Lou Ye stood up and took a cloak to wrap up Huo Wei. Huo Wei also asked a maid to help Shaoyao to rest. Then the two of them went to the yard to see the assassins.
Among the six assassins, one had been killed and three had committed suicide. Only two of them were still alive. The two of them were also trying their best to commit suicide, but unfortunately, their jaws and limbs had been removed, and they could no longer move.
“Have you found anything?”Lou Ye asked seriously.
Several secret guards immediately charged, “The assassins don’t have any marks on their bodies, nor on weapons. They have the will to die. If they want to open their mouths, they need to be severely punished.”
Lou Ye frowned and thought for a while. Then he said to Huo Wei, “I’ll take them back to the mansion and lock them in the dungeon. I’ll ask someone to find out the person behind them.”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”Huo Wei nodded without hesitation.
Her trust without a reservation made Lou Ye smile involuntarily.
It was too late. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Huo, Lou Ye left with the dead body, leaving four secret guards and eight guards to protect the Huo’s.
The Huo’s had servants before, but this time, all the servants left by Lou Ye were skilled. It was the first time that she had been protected like this. After comforting her godmother, she tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
The prime minister and his son’s faces darkened when it was dawn. After confirming that the assassination failed, the prime minister looked at the eldest son coldly and said in a deep voice, “They can’t do anything right. “
His eldest son lowered his head and dared not say a word. How could he expect that the assassination would fail for the six assassins? He had underestimated Lou Ye’s importance to Huo Wei and also underestimated Lou Ye’s strength.
But it was useless to say anything now. It was not that easy to make a mistake again. Not to mention that the Huo and Lou would strengthen their defense, it would be difficult to find more powerful assassins. It would be impossible to achieve anything in a short time.
Perhaps he could only destroy the jade pendant, jade hairpin, lotus bag, and swaddling baby from the servant’s belongings, leaving no evidence left.
The prime minister should have to use his force that no one knew in private——one official of the eldest prince in the court who could have a chance to get in touch with the evidence. If he was really caught by accident, they would have the chance to blame the imperial concubines and the eldest prince, causing chaos.
But of course, he had to keep an eye on Huo Wei. If she was alone or had any chance, he’d better kill her.
No one else knew about it. Everything went smoothly. Many people were jealous of her. They didn’t know why she was so lucky to be liked by King Qin and the empress. When her background was found out, her parents might still be there. Would she still be loved by them?
No one said that she was a jinx for a long time. But now, some people thought that she was so lucky that she couldn’t enjoy all the wealth.
Even the servants of the Lus were murmuring.
When they said that Huo Wei was a jinx and Lu Jingyun was a member of the Lu s, they really hated Huo Wei and hoped that Lu Jingyun would take a look at them.
They seemed to have been used to comparing Huo Wei and Lu Jingyun. Now, Huo Wei was capable of doing it herself. Her fiance was King Qin, and the Majesty was helping her investigate her background; Lu Jingyun’s reputation was ruined, and she was detested by his husband’s family. Even her relatives didn’t want to talk to her. The Lu family began to decline.
It seemed that Li Jingyun was a jinx!
As long as someone said this, countless people would agree. Facts speak louder than words. This matter was already in front of everyone without even arguing.
Even Mrs. Feng said, “If we didn’t recognize her back then, why would our Lu family be here? Our Lu family has been married to King Qin! “Speaking of this, she glared at Mrs.Chen fiercely. “If you were not so narrow-minded, how could you not let her see the empress for so many years? If we had known her earlier, maybe there would have been a better marriage waiting for her. “
Mrs.Chen’s heart sank. She regretted it, but she still wanted to save face. She couldn’t help saying, “No matter how likable she is, she is not our Lus. Her identity is a mystery. If she had been out a lot of years ago, I’m afraid she would have been recognized by her mother. Then how good her marriage is has nothing to do with us. “
“You! How dare you talk to me like that? “Mrs.Feng stared at Mis.Chen in disbelief. She had always been superior to the Lus. How could she allow her daughter-in-law to provoke her?
But no one in the Lus was an official, even a civilian. Now Mrs.Chen was in charge of the family, so what was Mrs.Chen afraid of her? She stood up and said that she wanted to check the account book. Then she curtsied perfunctorily and left.
Mrs.Feng was so angry that she almost fainted. It took Lu Yuan a long time to comfort her. Mrs.Feng was scolding Mrs.Chen and Lu Jingyun for stirring up the family spirits, while Mrs. Chen and Lu Jingyun were also in a bad mood.
Mrs.Chen regretted what she had done. All she could think of was the way Lu Qiaoshan had been waiting for her to care about her. Lu Qiaoshan had always liked to get close to her since she was a child. If she had called someone, she would definitely arrive as soon as possible and didn’t dare to neglect it.
She was the clearest person in the Lu family how much Lu Qiaoshan wanted to be loved, so she really regretted it. If she had been nicer to her, she would have been desperate day by day.
Lu Jingyun not only regretted it but also felt jealous.
She couldn’t fall asleep the whole night. Every day, she asked someone to inquire about the news about Huo Wei, and her hair had fallen a lot. She thought that Lou Ye just had a crush on Huo We and might not marry her. As a result, Lou Ye seriously engaged her and directly cut her off from Lou Ye.
She thought it was the luckiest thing for her to be the wife of King Qin, but she didn’t expect that the emperor would help her investigate her background.
She regretted it. She shouldn’t have kicked her out of the Lu family. She should have let her suffer in the Lu family and marry a man who was so remote that no one could remember. Then everything would be fine.
She was too careless. After rebirth, everything went smoothly with her, so she was not so cautious. One step was wrong, and the other was wrong.
She just couldn’t figure it out. She had followed her heart before and everything went so smoothly. Why did it become like this?
Lu Jingyun had an ominous premonition that Huo Wei would do something bad to her after her identity was revealed. Moreover, everyone knew that she had bribed the monk to hurt Huo Wei. She hadn’t made trouble with her yet because she didn’t have that power. When she married King Qin, she would never let her go.
Lu Jingyun had a strong sense of urgency. She couldn’t wait anymore, nor could she trust Fang Qingze’s promise.
She forced herself to recall what had happened in her previous life. She wouldn’t let it go at all and looking for a way out from those things like a devil.
God had treated her well. She had found it!
She remembered that five days later, the third prince would be assassinated in the mountain behind the temple in the suburb of the capital. He was seriously injured and saved by a village girl. Later, the third prince took the village girl as a concubine and conferred her the title of his concubine. Although he didn’t dote on her, as his Savior, none of them went against her.
Lu Jingyun’s heart beat faster. What she had known through rebirth didn’t involve the royal family. If she really did it this time, it would involve the royal family and the throne. She would die if she was not careful.
She had been thinking about it for three whole days. The Lu family’s disgust for her made her make up her mind. Fang Qingze would not marry her. Once the Marquise came up with a way to break off the engagement, the Lus would definitely vent all their anger on her.
She had no choice but to be the Savior of the third prince!
Lu Jingyun was too busy to deal with Huo Wei, and she couldn’t deal with her now, so she tried to keep a low profile and didn’t show up to remind Huo Wei of her.
She found an excuse to pray and moved to the temple to receive pilgrims in advance.
The Lus, on the other hand, couldn’t help but want to get back together with Huo Wei as they saw her getting better and better. They knew it was not a good time, so they asked Lu Heng to get in touch with Huo Wei first. Lu Heng was Huo Wei’s brother. When they scolded her, he didn’t talk much, so she should respect him.
However, before Lu Heng could get close to her, he was stopped by her bodyguards. The bodyguards also informed her, and she took a look at Lu Heng from a distance, shook her head, and turned her eyes away.
At that time, Lu Heng felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide. Lowering his head, he left in a hurry.
Lu Heng was different from Huo Wei and Lu Jingyun. He had always been the treasure of the Lus and loved by them. Until now, the Lus had declined, he was still the hope of the Lu s and the most important descendant of them.
So he had never felt so humiliated. He went back home without even trying to talk to her. The Lus members were waiting anxiously. When they saw him, they were all full of hope. However, Lu Heng shook his head and said that he had no chance to get close to Huo Wei.
Looking at her grandson, Mrs.Feng was very disappointed. Her family had become like this, but no one could bear it. Could the Lus be saved if she thought of a solution?
They thought about it for a long time and believed that they could only ask Mrs.Feng to help. Mrs.Feng was old. After all, she was an elder. It was Huo Wei who had called her Grandmother for sixteen years. Since she had gone, she wouldn’t have kept silent? What did the other women think of her?
Mrs.Feng made up her mind and immediately went to see Huo Wei. She especially changed into a simple dress without makeup, showing a pale face.
Now Huo Wei’s shop was open and she was busy all day long. But she didn’t want to do the hairstyle herself. What she knew most was new ideas, and her skills were inferior to those of servants.
Therefore, she hired a group of good skills to work in the shop. Some of them were good at dressing, some of them were good at making clothes, some were good at making jewelry, and some were good at making makeup. When the guests came, as long as they stayed in the shop for half a day, it would be different if they went out.
Since it was the shopkeeper’s charge, Huo Wei just gave her some advice, as if they were chatting, so the ladies were not afraid of it and were still willing to come to her shop to do hairdressing and buy things. She would take it as an inspection tour of her shop in the future.
Huo Wei knew it was not good to show up in public in many people’s eyes, but Lou Ye didn’t mind. The last time when she came to the palace, the empress didn’t show any unhappiness, so she continued to do so. In ancient times, she had to challenge something. Her attitude towards those women was still the same as before.
Since she had known a lot of people, she had made friends with several handkerchiefs and had a good relationship with them. Sometimes, even if they didn’t want to do hairdressing, they would come to the store to play with her.
When Mrs.Feng came to the shop, Huo Wei and her three friends had been watching her newly designed dress. It was very beautiful in the shop, but people with poor figures would expose their flaws and be very picky. Her three friends couldn’t wear it well, so they teased her together. “Why don’t you hold a fitting meeting? If anyone can wear it, you will give it to her. If she really looks good, others will come here to order it.”
Thinking that it was just an advertisement, Huo Wei couldn’t help laughing and praised, “That’s a good idea. There are many regular customers in our shop. I’ve always wanted to reward you one or two. Thank you for your help when I was down. I’ll take this opportunity to give you some gifts. “
“A small gift? I’ll wait and see! “
“I’m waiting for you. Hurry up.”
“If you need any help, just call us.”
The four of them laughed and joked, but Mrs.Feng stopped awkwardly because the so-called “she was down” mentioned by Huo Wei just now was caused by the Lus when they drove her away.
The clerk didn’t know Mrs.Feng, so he walked up to him and asked. Mrs.Feng waved her hand and said, “I’m here to look for someone.”
When Huo Wei heard her voice, she turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. With a loving smile on her face, Mrs.Feng said, “Qiaoshan, grandmom has come to see you. You haven’t been home for a long time. I am really worried about you. “
As soon as Huo Wei saw Mrs.Feng, she realized that she was o take advantage of her’s seniority.
“Thank you for your concern, Mrs.Lu. I haven’t had the chance to see the Lus, so I haven’t had the chance to tell you that I’m living a good life. I happened to meet you today. Please rest assured. As you can see, I have nothing to worry about now. “
It was obvious that the Lu family had never looked for her. If they really cared about her, how could they not care? Now that she came, it was the decline of the Lus, but she was going to be the wife of King Qin?
Mrs.Feng wouldn’t retreat because of this. She walked around the shop and said with relief, “If you live a good life, I will be relieved. At that time, the Li s said that they wanted to reunite with their family. We really had no choice but to let you go back. However, a lot of things happened later. My family was in a mess, and my body was useless. I lay down for a long time, but I haven’t come to see you. “
Mrs.Feng walked up to Huo Wei and complained, “You too. Why don’t you go home? I have raised you for sixteen years, and that place will always be your home. You can’t be separated from your family at any time. “
The three ladies were a little embarrassed. How could Mrs.Feng be so shameless? How shameless she was? The Lus abandoned her and turned over to make friends with her again. Then was the severance fake? Did they think that Huo Wei was something they could do whatever they wanted?
There were already many people watching inside and outside the shop. With a faint smile, Huo Wei said, “Mrs. Lu is probably old and has a bad memory. When I was in the Lu family, I was the MISS COUSIN of the Lu family. I always respectfully called you Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu… “
Huo Wei shook her head and smiled. “It was a long time ago. Later, the master said that my luck was not good. Coincidentally, the Lis suddenly wanted to reunite. At that time, the fate between me and the Luswas over. “
Mrs.Feng wanted to stir up trouble, show the family love, and suppress Huo Wei with the hats of filial piety, elders, and raising. However, Huo Wei’s straightforward words made Mrs.Feng embarrassed.
Just as Mrs.Feng was about to cry out and beg for forgiveness, a boy suddenly broke in. He pointed at her nose and scolded, “How dare you mention our Lis? My family is in trouble because of you! My parents are still in prison. Do you want to cling to power? No way! Your family is ungrateful. Lu Jingyun is so ungrateful that made my father addicted to gambling. Your family is so cruel that we have no money to eat. All of you are not human beings. You will all die a miserable death! “
Mrs.Fengwas frightened by him. With a pale face, he kept retreating and shouted, “Help! Help! Catch him! Don’t let him touch me! “
The other customers in the shop were also shocked and hurried out.
Huo Wei retreated to a safe place with her three friends and called for help. She vigilantly glanced at the people who followed bear into the room.
At this moment, the man moved. While everyone was moving, he rushed straight to Huo Wei, with a sharp dagger in his hand!
“Ah –” the scream was deafening.
All of a sudden, a secret guard appeared in front of her and blocked the dagger. Instead of retreating, she took off the whip on her waist and quickly lashed it at the assassin!
She had the Luck! In a few moments, the man’s skin was torn open and he fell to the ground dizzily.
The secret guard looked at her in surprise. Huo Wei said coldly, “My whip was smeared with the overpowering drug. Remove his chin, limbs, and take him back for interrogation!”
“Yes, Master!” The secret guard responded and removed the assassin’s chin and limbs with a few snaps. There was another scream around, and then the secret guard carried the assassin and disappeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was still in shock. At the same time, they were also shocked by the imposing manner of Huo Wei. She was like a top leader, calmly giving orders, not like a teenage girl. Is this the future wife of King Qin?
Huo Wei’s guards were all around her, looking very serious.
Huo Wei looked at Li Zhuang and asked, “What’s your relationship with the assassin?”
Li Zhuang was so frightened that he stuttered, “No, it doesn’t matter. I…I… I don’t know him. I…”
“Take her away and hand her over to the office.”Huo Wei didn’t say anything but turned to Mrs.Feng.
When Li Zhuang was taken away with his mouth shut, Mrs.Feng’s legs became weak. She explained to Huo Wei in a hurry, “It’s not me. It has nothing to do with me. How could I do such a thing?”
Mrs.Feng’s body was not in good condition in the first place. With such a fright, there was a burst of black in front of her, as if she was about to faint.
“Go and ask the best doctor in the capital to check on Mrs.Lu, and then send her back to the Lu family.” She looked at Mrs.Feng and said, “I understand why Mrs. Lu came here today. The Lu family has raised me for sixteen years. Although they gave up on me and didn’t do anything when I was in trouble, I can’t be ungrateful. I should return the favor for the past sixteen years.”
“What kind of favor?”A pleasant voice sounded, and everyone looked at the door at the same time. It was the empress who was out of the palace!
Mrs.Feng was about to kneel down but was supported by a well-prepared maid first. She smiled and said, “Mrs. Lu, are you feeling dizzy? Sit down and have a rest. “
The maids couldn’t resist and place Mrs.Feng on the chair. Mrs.Feng was like on pins and needles, sweating with fear. She just wanted to suppress Huo Wei and make her accept the Lu family. Why was it so difficult?
Even if she died, she didn’t expect that Huo Wei had Luck. No one could force her to do what she didn’t want to do, and it might develop into the last thing she wanted to see.
When the empress left the palace, people didn’t know her. They only thought she was dignified and generous. She should also be a lady from an official family and a noble person. However, several ladies and ladies in the shop recognized her. They felt a little uncomfortable at this time, but they didn’t leave. Moreover, they gathered together as if they were the empress.
This made the people outside feel that the empress was nobler. As soon as the empress entered the shop, she held Huo Wei’s hand and asked with concern, “When I came here just now, I heard that something happened in the shop? Did someone take a dagger? “
Huo Wei nodded. “The dagger was poisoned. Fortunately, no one was hurt.”
Empress’s heart skipped a beat. Somehow, she felt very uncomfortable. She held Huo Wei’s hand tightly and turned to the eunuch accompanying her. “We must find out the truth.”
“Yes, madam.”The eunuch ordered others to send a message to ask the officials to cooperate with Lou Ye to investigate this matter. He didn’t dare to leave. It was too frightening. He only hoped that the empress would go back to the palace immediately and there would-be assassins. He was afraid that something bad would happen to the empress.
Noticing his worry, Huo Wei said, “That man was taken to King Qin’s mansion. Mrs, how about we go there and have a look?”
“Okay.”The empress only came out to visit Huo Wei. She could go anywhere as long as she saw her. But when she turned around, she saw Mrs.Feng. She remembered what she had heard before and asked in confusion, “Mrs.Lu, are you here to ask Wei to repay you?”
The clothes on Mrs.Feng’s back were already wet. She hurriedly explained, “I… I didn’t. I just miss her and specially come to see her…”
Empress had been in power for a long time and had been in charge of the imperial household for many years. How could she not see her guilty conscience? Thinking that the Lu family had already abandoned her and almost made her sink into the pond, she felt sorry for her and disliked Mrs.Feng.
She said lightly, “the Lu family has raised Wei for sixteen years. It’s time for them to repay her kindness. But since we have broken up with each other, we’d better not get involved again. “
As soon as the empress opened her mouth, no one dared to say that Huo Wei and Lu’s family were a family?!
Huo Wei was grateful for the help of the empress. She immediately said, “I grew up in the Lus’ luxuriant home and spent a lot of money. Later, I will ask someone to send gold and silver jewelry to show my gratitude. By the way, I heard that the good days of Miss Lu and the young master of the Marquis are coming, and I will also send a gift to wish the two of them a happy marriage and grow old together.
Marquise has always been fond of Miss Lu. I’m sure the wedding will be held soon. Let me congratulate you first. “
Mrs.Feng seemed to have suffered a lot, from the bitter mouth to the heart, and did not dare to say anything. She could only agree unhappy.
The empress ignored her and pulled her out. Huo Wei turned around and greeted her friend, asking the shopkeeper to settle down the shop. Then she got in the carriage with the empress and went straight to King Qin’s mansion.
As soon as they left, Mrs.Feng collapsed. A lady next to her shook her head and said, “Why? Since you broke up, it’s all fate. “
Another lady said sarcastically, “the Lu family is so busy that they let Mrs. Lu come out.”
Although she didn’t say it clearly, everyone could understand? This was a satire to the Lus that no one was there, but Mrs.Feng could not refute it. Her heart was full of powerlessness. Seeing the empress’s tension relaxed, she finally fainted.
The shopkeeper unhurriedly asked the doctor to check her pulse and make sure she was fine. Then he asked someone to send her back. No matter what the Lus would think if they knew the result today, they would return the grace to Huo Wei? It was more impossible. After all, it was the Lu family who wanted to marry her randomly and give her honor as a concubine. It was also the Lu family who refused to cut off the relationship with her because of her poor life.
The Lu family couldn’t get back together with Huo Wei since they didn’t get all the benefits in the world.
When Huo Wei went to King Qin’s mansion, she had given an order. On that day, seventeen boxes of gold and silver jewelry were sent to the Lu family, sixteen boxes for costing and one box as a gift.
The sixteen boxes were at least ten times more than the original host’s sixteen-year costing. The ten times number was said by Shaoyao at the gate of the Lus, so the onlookers heard it and knew that Huo Wei hadn’t spent much in the Lu family for sixteen years.
On the one hand, they praised her for being a conscientious woman and returned her ten times of wealth. On the other hand, they laughed at the Lu s for being so shameless to raise a rich lady with such a little money. It was really shabby compared to other families.
That box of gifts was also very beautiful, all in pairs. Not only did Huo Wei send them to the Lus, but also to the Fangs. Didn’t these two people like to hook up? Didn’t they think that the original host was annoying? If they betrayed her, they would be together and never be separated.
Huo Wei knew that Lu Jingyun certainly didn’t want to marry him now, because it was not her good home, but her trap. But since Lu Jingyun snatched the marriage from her, she couldn’t let it go.
The news of the capital city spread quickly. Just as the people were wondering why someone wanted to kill Huo Wei, all the female relatives of the officials had already known that the empress had personally come to her shop, and she had even cut off the relationship between Huo Wei and the Lu family. Even when Huo Wei blesses Lu Jingyun had a happy marriage for a hundred years, the empress shad also agreed.
The marriage between the Fangs and the Lus was decided by the empress!!
With a livid face, Marquis called Fang Qingze in front of him and scolded him severely. If Fang Qingze hadn’t colluded with Lu Jingyun, how could the Fangs have fallen into such an embarrassing situation? After that, Marquis scolded his wife again. Marquise tried to find a decent way to break off the engagement, but she didn’t expect that she would be so humiliated now.
Now that Fangs had been humiliated, it would be better to let them get married as soon as possible and return the good reputation of the Lus for their kindness in the past. In the future, if they found an opportunity to kill Lu Jingyun, wouldn’t it be much more decent than now?
Marquise was so angry with an iris that she didn’t want to be threatened by the Lus. Now that Marquis had given the order, she didn’t dare to delay it any longer. She immediately calculated the nearest date and discussed with the Lus to get married in half a month.
Everything was ready. Half a month later, the Marquis hoped that there would be no more discussion about them in the capital. Anyway, now that things had come to this, they could only choose the most low-key and least-loss way.
Fang Qingze didn’t agree. He thought Lu Jingyun was vicious, but no one cared what he thought. He had to give in passively and wait for half a month to be the bridegroom.
The Lus also sent people to the temple to pick up Lu Jingyun, but they didn’t find her. The Lus had cursed her thousands of times, but they didn’t dare to make a sound. They could only secretly look for her.
At this time, Lu Jingyun was rescuing the third prince who had lost too much blood and fainted by the river from the mountain behind. She dragged the third prince into a wooden house of a hunter. She was relieved that she was safe for the rest of her life.

Woken up by the clash of swords and blades at night, Huo Wei immediately got out of bed and ran to the window to the lookout.
The two secret guards that Lou Ye gave her had shown up and were fighting against the six men in black. The six men were completely ruthless and fierce as if they wouldn’t stop until they killed someone.
Her heart sank as she thought of her identity. It seemed that there was a big secret about her identity, and only the emperor could find it out. Otherwise, her enemy wouldn’t have made no move before and suddenly wanted to kill her now.
Shaoyao also woke up. When she saw the situation outside, her face turned pale. She endured the fear and said, “Miss, are we going to run? I, I will protect you. Let’s go to King Qin’s mansion! “
“No, it’s more dangerous outside than at home. Here is protected by secret guards. If we go outside, we will be slaughtered.”Huo Wei observed the situation outside with a serious look on her face.
These two secret guards were carefully trained by Lou Ye, and their skills were very good. However, the assassins sent by her enemy were not weak. The six people had already faintly suppressed the secret guards.
She went to the box to find the crossbow that Lou Ye gave her, aimed at the assassin, and shot through the window!
With a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the gap between an assassin and the secret guard and directly stabbed into the arm of another assassin. The assassin missed the chance to hurt the secret guard and lost his weapon.
The secret guard reacted quickly and grabbed the assassin. The assassin retreated continuously under the injury. He wanted to escape, but his thigh was cut. He gritted his teeth, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he died!
Shaoyao took a deep breath and said, “He’s dead!”
Frowning, Huo Wei shot another arrow, hitting one assassin’s leg!
The assassin’s body was out of balance all of a sudden. He staggered and was cut in the chest by the secret guard. Then he fell to the ground. The assassin on the other side took this opportunity to stab Huo Wei. Huo Wei dodged in a hurry, and Shaoyao rushed to protect her with fear.
When the secret guard saw this, he immediately rushed over and tried his best to block the assassin with his injuries. At the same time, Huo Wei just shot an arrow through the assassin’s waist, letting the secret guard take the opportunity to knock him out.
The assassin saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat, but the two secret guards had sent a signal before. At this time, Lou Ye arrived with four secret guards and eight guards. They came directly to catch the rat in the trap!
After catching an assassin, Lou Ye immediately went to the room to check on Huo Wei and asked nervously, “Are you hurt?”
Huo Wei shook her head, raised the bow in her hand, and said, “I have this and helped them.” She paid attention to the situation in the yard and said, “Capture them alive. We have to ask the person behind them.”
“Don’t worry. They know what to do.”Lou Ye took her to sit down and poured her a glass of water. “Are you scared?”
After a moment’s silence, she suddenly felt scared. When she saw the assassin just now, she was not afraid at all. She just wanted to use the bow and crossbow to help. She had practiced these things in her previous life.
But now she began to be afraid. It was not a shooting, not a drill, but a real killing!
If she died here…
She shivered all of a sudden. Lou Ye immediately held her in his arms and comforted her in a soft voice.
Huo Wei closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. In her heart, she asked, “System, what will happen if I die?”
“Abnormal death. You may become extremely weak or die directly.”
Huo Wei felt weightless. She had never thought what would happen if she died by accident. If her previous guess was right, her “passing through” was only her brain consciousness, then if her brain consciousness was seriously damaged, she was very likely unable to wake up in the main world.
She would become a vegetable, or die directly, or… Her brain would be disordered and become a mental disease.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she straightened up and said, “I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’m fine.” This was the world where her consciousness was built. She was the master here. As long as she was strong enough and indestructible, no one could hurt her badly.
She didn’t need to be afraid. She just needed to become stronger and stronger and become an absolute strong warrior in the spiritual domain. Then she wouldn’t have to be afraid of any danger.
After all, she had lived for two lifetimes. In her current memory, she had lived for at least more than 100 years. She had rich experience and seen everything. She had always been strong when facing strong people. So after a short period of fear, she was stronger than before.
She heard the noise outside. The assassin must have been caught, and he had killed himself. She frowned and said, “Do you have someone suspicious? As soon as our majesty ordered to investigate my background thoroughly, six daredevils were sent to kill me. Why am I so important? As a woman, I can’t compete for family property or the title. Why should he want to kill me? “
Lou Ye also frowned and couldn’t understand. “Logically speaking, it was difficult to investigate what happened sixteen years ago. At this time, they should do less than to do more. The more suspicious they are, the harder it is for us to find clues. I think they did the same thing before, so the government has investigated for so long, and no one wants to harm you.
Unless your existence is a great threat to them. Since our majesty wants to investigate it thoroughly, they dare not bet whether our majesty can find it or not. Once he finds out, they can’t afford the consequences, so they take the risk and hope to kill you with one blow.
If anything happens to you, our majesty will be furious and will still investigate it thoroughly. It means that as long as you are not here, even if our majesty finds out, they can turn the tables. “
Huo Wei had filmed so many plays in her previous life, and she had read and studied countless scripts. When she heard this, she couldn’t help laughing. She approached Lou Ye and whispered, “It sounds like I’m a princess. If I were a princess, it would be reasonable.”
A thought flashed through Lou Ye’s mind. He wanted to seize it, but he couldn’t remember it. He had to give up for the time being. He patted Vivian’s arm and warned her, “You can’t take a joke. You’ll be miserable if someone hears it. Let’s go out and have a look. “
There was no sound outside. Lou Ye stood up and took a cloak to wrap up Huo Wei. Huo Wei also asked a maid to help Shaoyao to rest. Then the two of them went to the yard to see the assassins.
Among the six assassins, one had been killed and three had committed suicide. Only two of them were still alive. The two of them were also trying their best to commit suicide, but unfortunately, their jaws and limbs had been removed, and they could no longer move.
“Have you found anything?”Lou Ye asked seriously.
Several secret guards immediately charged, “The assassins don’t have any marks on their bodies, nor on weapons. They have the will to die. If they want to open their mouths, they need to be severely punished.”
Lou Ye frowned and thought for a while. Then he said to Huo Wei, “I’ll take them back to the mansion and lock them in the dungeon. I’ll ask someone to find out the person behind them.”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”Huo Wei nodded without hesitation.
Her trust without a reservation made Lou Ye smile involuntarily.
It was too late. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Huo, Lou Ye left with the dead body, leaving four secret guards and eight guards to protect the Huo’s.
The Huo’s had servants before, but this time, all the servants left by Lou Ye were skilled. It was the first time that she had been protected like this. After comforting her godmother, she tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.
The prime minister and his son’s faces darkened when it was dawn. After confirming that the assassination failed, the prime minister looked at the eldest son coldly and said in a deep voice, “They can’t do anything right. “
His eldest son lowered his head and dared not say a word. How could he expect that the assassination would fail for the six assassins? He had underestimated Lou Ye’s importance to Huo Wei and also underestimated Lou Ye’s strength.
But it was useless to say anything now. It was not that easy to make a mistake again. Not to mention that the Huo and Lou would strengthen their defense, it would be difficult to find more powerful assassins. It would be impossible to achieve anything in a short time.
Perhaps he could only destroy the jade pendant, jade hairpin, lotus bag, and swaddling baby from the servant’s belongings, leaving no evidence left.
The prime minister should have to use his force that no one knew in private——one official of the eldest prince in the court who could have a chance to get in touch with the evidence. If he was really caught by accident, they would have the chance to blame the imperial concubines and the eldest prince, causing chaos.
But of course, he had to keep an eye on Huo Wei. If she was alone or had any chance, he’d better kill her.
No one else knew about it. Everything went smoothly. Many people were jealous of her. They didn’t know why she was so lucky to be liked by King Qin and the empress. When her background was found out, her parents might still be there. Would she still be loved by them?
No one said that she was a jinx for a long time. But now, some people thought that she was so lucky that she couldn’t enjoy all the wealth.
Even the servants of the Lus were murmuring.
When they said that Huo Wei was a jinx and Lu Jingyun was a member of the Lu s, they really hated Huo Wei and hoped that Lu Jingyun would take a look at them.
They seemed to have been used to comparing Huo Wei and Lu Jingyun. Now, Huo Wei was capable of doing it herself. Her fiance was King Qin, and the Majesty was helping her investigate her background; Lu Jingyun’s reputation was ruined, and she was detested by his husband’s family. Even her relatives didn’t want to talk to her. The Lu family began to decline.
It seemed that Li Jingyun was a jinx!
As long as someone said this, countless people would agree. Facts speak louder than words. This matter was already in front of everyone without even arguing.
Even Mrs. Feng said, “If we didn’t recognize her back then, why would our Lu family be here? Our Lu family has been married to King Qin! “Speaking of this, she glared at Mrs.Chen fiercely. “If you were not so narrow-minded, how could you not let her see the empress for so many years? If we had known her earlier, maybe there would have been a better marriage waiting for her. “
Mrs.Chen’s heart sank. She regretted it, but she still wanted to save face. She couldn’t help saying, “No matter how likable she is, she is not our Lus. Her identity is a mystery. If she had been out a lot of years ago, I’m afraid she would have been recognized by her mother. Then how good her marriage is has nothing to do with us. “
“You! How dare you talk to me like that? “Mrs.Feng stared at Mis.Chen in disbelief. She had always been superior to the Lus. How could she allow her daughter-in-law to provoke her?
But no one in the Lus was an official, even a civilian. Now Mrs.Chen was in charge of the family, so what was Mrs.Chen afraid of her? She stood up and said that she wanted to check the account book. Then she curtsied perfunctorily and left.
Mrs.Feng was so angry that she almost fainted. It took Lu Yuan a long time to comfort her. Mrs.Feng was scolding Mrs.Chen and Lu Jingyun for stirring up the family spirits, while Mrs. Chen and Lu Jingyun were also in a bad mood.
Mrs.Chen regretted what she had done. All she could think of was the way Lu Qiaoshan had been waiting for her to care about her. Lu Qiaoshan had always liked to get close to her since she was a child. If she had called someone, she would definitely arrive as soon as possible and didn’t dare to neglect it.
She was the clearest person in the Lu family how much Lu Qiaoshan wanted to be loved, so she really regretted it. If she had been nicer to her, she would have been desperate day by day.
Lu Jingyun not only regretted it but also felt jealous.
She couldn’t fall asleep the whole night. Every day, she asked someone to inquire about the news about Huo Wei, and her hair had fallen a lot. She thought that Lou Ye just had a crush on Huo We and might not marry her. As a result, Lou Ye seriously engaged her and directly cut her off from Lou Ye.
She thought it was the luckiest thing for her to be the wife of King Qin, but she didn’t expect that the emperor would help her investigate her background.
She regretted it. She shouldn’t have kicked her out of the Lu family. She should have let her suffer in the Lu family and marry a man who was so remote that no one could remember. Then everything would be fine.
She was too careless. After rebirth, everything went smoothly with her, so she was not so cautious. One step was wrong, and the other was wrong.
She just couldn’t figure it out. She had followed her heart before and everything went so smoothly. Why did it become like this?
Lu Jingyun had an ominous premonition that Huo Wei would do something bad to her after her identity was revealed. Moreover, everyone knew that she had bribed the monk to hurt Huo Wei. She hadn’t made trouble with her yet because she didn’t have that power. When she married King Qin, she would never let her go.
Lu Jingyun had a strong sense of urgency. She couldn’t wait anymore, nor could she trust Fang Qingze’s promise.
She forced herself to recall what had happened in her previous life. She wouldn’t let it go at all and looking for a way out from those things like a devil.
God had treated her well. She had found it!
She remembered that five days later, the third prince would be assassinated in the mountain behind the temple in the suburb of the capital. He was seriously injured and saved by a village girl. Later, the third prince took the village girl as a concubine and conferred her the title of his concubine. Although he didn’t dote on her, as his Savior, none of them went against her.
Lu Jingyun’s heart beat faster. What she had known through rebirth didn’t involve the royal family. If she really did it this time, it would involve the royal family and the throne. She would die if she was not careful.
She had been thinking about it for three whole days. The Lu family’s disgust for her made her make up her mind. Fang Qingze would not marry her. Once the Marquise came up with a way to break off the engagement, the Lus would definitely vent all their anger on her.
She had no choice but to be the Savior of the third prince!
Lu Jingyun was too busy to deal with Huo Wei, and she couldn’t deal with her now, so she tried to keep a low profile and didn’t show up to remind Huo Wei of her.
She found an excuse to pray and moved to the temple to receive pilgrims in advance.
The Lus, on the other hand, couldn’t help but want to get back together with Huo Wei as they saw her getting better and better. They knew it was not a good time, so they asked Lu Heng to get in touch with Huo Wei first. Lu Heng was Huo Wei’s brother. When they scolded her, he didn’t talk much, so she should respect him.
However, before Lu Heng could get close to her, he was stopped by her bodyguards. The bodyguards also informed her, and she took a look at Lu Heng from a distance, shook her head, and turned her eyes away.
At that time, Lu Heng felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide. Lowering his head, he left in a hurry.
Lu Heng was different from Huo Wei and Lu Jingyun. He had always been the treasure of the Lus and loved by them. Until now, the Lus had declined, he was still the hope of the Lu s and the most important descendant of them.
So he had never felt so humiliated. He went back home without even trying to talk to her. The Lus members were waiting anxiously. When they saw him, they were all full of hope. However, Lu Heng shook his head and said that he had no chance to get close to Huo Wei.
Looking at her grandson, Mrs.Feng was very disappointed. Her family had become like this, but no one could bear it. Could the Lus be saved if she thought of a solution?
They thought about it for a long time and believed that they could only ask Mrs.Feng to help. Mrs.Feng was old. After all, she was an elder. It was Huo Wei who had called her Grandmother for sixteen years. Since she had gone, she wouldn’t have kept silent? What did the other women think of her?
Mrs.Feng made up her mind and immediately went to see Huo Wei. She especially changed into a simple dress without makeup, showing a pale face.
Now Huo Wei’s shop was open and she was busy all day long. But she didn’t want to do the hairstyle herself. What she knew most was new ideas, and her skills were inferior to those of servants.
Therefore, she hired a group of good skills to work in the shop. Some of them were good at dressing, some of them were good at making clothes, some were good at making jewelry, and some were good at making makeup. When the guests came, as long as they stayed in the shop for half a day, it would be different if they went out.
Since it was the shopkeeper’s charge, Huo Wei just gave her some advice, as if they were chatting, so the ladies were not afraid of it and were still willing to come to her shop to do hairdressing and buy things. She would take it as an inspection tour of her shop in the future.
Huo Wei knew it was not good to show up in public in many people’s eyes, but Lou Ye didn’t mind. The last time when she came to the palace, the empress didn’t show any unhappiness, so she continued to do so. In ancient times, she had to challenge something. Her attitude towards those women was still the same as before.
Since she had known a lot of people, she had made friends with several handkerchiefs and had a good relationship with them. Sometimes, even if they didn’t want to do hairdressing, they would come to the store to play with her.
When Mrs.Feng came to the shop, Huo Wei and her three friends had been watching her newly designed dress. It was very beautiful in the shop, but people with poor figures would expose their flaws and be very picky. Her three friends couldn’t wear it well, so they teased her together. “Why don’t you hold a fitting meeting? If anyone can wear it, you will give it to her. If she really looks good, others will come here to order it.”
Thinking that it was just an advertisement, Huo Wei couldn’t help laughing and praised, “That’s a good idea. There are many regular customers in our shop. I’ve always wanted to reward you one or two. Thank you for your help when I was down. I’ll take this opportunity to give you some gifts. “
“A small gift? I’ll wait and see! “
“I’m waiting for you. Hurry up.”
“If you need any help, just call us.”
The four of them laughed and joked, but Mrs.Feng stopped awkwardly because the so-called “she was down” mentioned by Huo Wei just now was caused by the Lus when they drove her away.
The clerk didn’t know Mrs.Feng, so he walked up to him and asked. Mrs.Feng waved her hand and said, “I’m here to look for someone.”
When Huo Wei heard her voice, she turned her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. With a loving smile on her face, Mrs.Feng said, “Qiaoshan, grandmom has come to see you. You haven’t been home for a long time. I am really worried about you. “
As soon as Huo Wei saw Mrs.Feng, she realized that she was o take advantage of her’s seniority.
“Thank you for your concern, Mrs.Lu. I haven’t had the chance to see the Lus, so I haven’t had the chance to tell you that I’m living a good life. I happened to meet you today. Please rest assured. As you can see, I have nothing to worry about now. “
It was obvious that the Lu family had never looked for her. If they really cared about her, how could they not care? Now that she came, it was the decline of the Lus, but she was going to be the wife of King Qin?
Mrs.Feng wouldn’t retreat because of this. She walked around the shop and said with relief, “If you live a good life, I will be relieved. At that time, the Li s said that they wanted to reunite with their family. We really had no choice but to let you go back. However, a lot of things happened later. My family was in a mess, and my body was useless. I lay down for a long time, but I haven’t come to see you. “
Mrs.Feng walked up to Huo Wei and complained, “You too. Why don’t you go home? I have raised you for sixteen years, and that place will always be your home. You can’t be separated from your family at any time. “
The three ladies were a little embarrassed. How could Mrs.Feng be so shameless? How shameless she was? The Lus abandoned her and turned over to make friends with her again. Then was the severance fake? Did they think that Huo Wei was something they could do whatever they wanted?
There were already many people watching inside and outside the shop. With a faint smile, Huo Wei said, “Mrs. Lu is probably old and has a bad memory. When I was in the Lu family, I was the MISS COUSIN of the Lu family. I always respectfully called you Mrs. Lu, Miss Lu… “
Huo Wei shook her head and smiled. “It was a long time ago. Later, the master said that my luck was not good. Coincidentally, the Lis suddenly wanted to reunite. At that time, the fate between me and the Luswas over. “
Mrs.Feng wanted to stir up trouble, show the family love, and suppress Huo Wei with the hats of filial piety, elders, and raising. However, Huo Wei’s straightforward words made Mrs.Feng embarrassed.
Just as Mrs.Feng was about to cry out and beg for forgiveness, a boy suddenly broke in. He pointed at her nose and scolded, “How dare you mention our Lis? My family is in trouble because of you! My parents are still in prison. Do you want to cling to power? No way! Your family is ungrateful. Lu Jingyun is so ungrateful that made my father addicted to gambling. Your family is so cruel that we have no money to eat. All of you are not human beings. You will all die a miserable death! “
Mrs.Fengwas frightened by him. With a pale face, he kept retreating and shouted, “Help! Help! Catch him! Don’t let him touch me! “
The other customers in the shop were also shocked and hurried out.
Huo Wei retreated to a safe place with her three friends and called for help. She vigilantly glanced at the people who followed bear into the room.
At this moment, the man moved. While everyone was moving, he rushed straight to Huo Wei, with a sharp dagger in his hand!
“Ah –” the scream was deafening.
All of a sudden, a secret guard appeared in front of her and blocked the dagger. Instead of retreating, she took off the whip on her waist and quickly lashed it at the assassin!
She had the Luck! In a few moments, the man’s skin was torn open and he fell to the ground dizzily.
The secret guard looked at her in surprise. Huo Wei said coldly, “My whip was smeared with the overpowering drug. Remove his chin, limbs, and take him back for interrogation!”
“Yes, Master!” The secret guard responded and removed the assassin’s chin and limbs with a few snaps. There was another scream around, and then the secret guard carried the assassin and disappeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was still in shock. At the same time, they were also shocked by the imposing manner of Huo Wei. She was like a top leader, calmly giving orders, not like a teenage girl. Is this the future wife of King Qin?
Huo Wei’s guards were all around her, looking very serious.
Huo Wei looked at Li Zhuang and asked, “What’s your relationship with the assassin?”
Li Zhuang was so frightened that he stuttered, “No, it doesn’t matter. I…I… I don’t know him. I…”
“Take her away and hand her over to the office.”Huo Wei didn’t say anything but turned to Mrs.Feng.
When Li Zhuang was taken away with his mouth shut, Mrs.Feng’s legs became weak. She explained to Huo Wei in a hurry, “It’s not me. It has nothing to do with me. How could I do such a thing?”
Mrs.Feng’s body was not in good condition in the first place. With such a fright, there was a burst of black in front of her, as if she was about to faint.
“Go and ask the best doctor in the capital to check on Mrs.Lu, and then send her back to the Lu family.” She looked at Mrs.Feng and said, “I understand why Mrs. Lu came here today. The Lu family has raised me for sixteen years. Although they gave up on me and didn’t do anything when I was in trouble, I can’t be ungrateful. I should return the favor for the past sixteen years.”
“What kind of favor?”A pleasant voice sounded, and everyone looked at the door at the same time. It was the empress who was out of the palace!
Mrs.Feng was about to kneel down but was supported by a well-prepared maid first. She smiled and said, “Mrs. Lu, are you feeling dizzy? Sit down and have a rest. “
The maids couldn’t resist and place Mrs.Feng on the chair. Mrs.Feng was like on pins and needles, sweating with fear. She just wanted to suppress Huo Wei and make her accept the Lu family. Why was it so difficult?
Even if she died, she didn’t expect that Huo Wei had Luck. No one could force her to do what she didn’t want to do, and it might develop into the last thing she wanted to see.
When the empress left the palace, people didn’t know her. They only thought she was dignified and generous. She should also be a lady from an official family and a noble person. However, several ladies and ladies in the shop recognized her. They felt a little uncomfortable at this time, but they didn’t leave. Moreover, they gathered together as if they were the empress.
This made the people outside feel that the empress was nobler. As soon as the empress entered the shop, she held Huo Wei’s hand and asked with concern, “When I came here just now, I heard that something happened in the shop? Did someone take a dagger? “
Huo Wei nodded. “The dagger was poisoned. Fortunately, no one was hurt.”
Empress’s heart skipped a beat. Somehow, she felt very uncomfortable. She held Huo Wei’s hand tightly and turned to the eunuch accompanying her. “We must find out the truth.”
“Yes, madam.”The eunuch ordered others to send a message to ask the officials to cooperate with Lou Ye to investigate this matter. He didn’t dare to leave. It was too frightening. He only hoped that the empress would go back to the palace immediately and there would-be assassins. He was afraid that something bad would happen to the empress.
Noticing his worry, Huo Wei said, “That man was taken to King Qin’s mansion. Mrs, how about we go there and have a look?”
“Okay.”The empress only came out to visit Huo Wei. She could go anywhere as long as she saw her. But when she turned around, she saw Mrs.Feng. She remembered what she had heard before and asked in confusion, “Mrs.Lu, are you here to ask Wei to repay you?”
The clothes on Mrs.Feng’s back were already wet. She hurriedly explained, “I… I didn’t. I just miss her and specially come to see her…”
Empress had been in power for a long time and had been in charge of the imperial household for many years. How could she not see her guilty conscience? Thinking that the Lu family had already abandoned her and almost made her sink into the pond, she felt sorry for her and disliked Mrs.Feng.
She said lightly, “the Lu family has raised Wei for sixteen years. It’s time for them to repay her kindness. But since we have broken up with each other, we’d better not get involved again. “
As soon as the empress opened her mouth, no one dared to say that Huo Wei and Lu’s family were a family?!
Huo Wei was grateful for the help of the empress. She immediately said, “I grew up in the Lus’ luxuriant home and spent a lot of money. Later, I will ask someone to send gold and silver jewelry to show my gratitude. By the way, I heard that the good days of Miss Lu and the young master of the Marquis are coming, and I will also send a gift to wish the two of them a happy marriage and grow old together.
Marquise has always been fond of Miss Lu. I’m sure the wedding will be held soon. Let me congratulate you first. “
Mrs.Feng seemed to have suffered a lot, from the bitter mouth to the heart, and did not dare to say anything. She could only agree unhappy.
The empress ignored her and pulled her out. Huo Wei turned around and greeted her friend, asking the shopkeeper to settle down the shop. Then she got in the carriage with the empress and went straight to King Qin’s mansion.
As soon as they left, Mrs.Feng collapsed. A lady next to her shook her head and said, “Why? Since you broke up, it’s all fate. “
Another lady said sarcastically, “the Lu family is so busy that they let Mrs. Lu come out.”
Although she didn’t say it clearly, everyone could understand? This was a satire to the Lus that no one was there, but Mrs.Feng could not refute it. Her heart was full of powerlessness. Seeing the empress’s tension relaxed, she finally fainted.
The shopkeeper unhurriedly asked the doctor to check her pulse and make sure she was fine. Then he asked someone to send her back. No matter what the Lus would think if they knew the result today, they would return the grace to Huo Wei? It was more impossible. After all, it was the Lu family who wanted to marry her randomly and give her honor as a concubine. It was also the Lu family who refused to cut off the relationship with her because of her poor life.
The Lu family couldn’t get back together with Huo Wei since they didn’t get all the benefits in the world.
When Huo Wei went to King Qin’s mansion, she had given an order. On that day, seventeen boxes of gold and silver jewelry were sent to the Lu family, sixteen boxes for costing and one box as a gift.
The sixteen boxes were at least ten times more than the original host’s sixteen-year costing. The ten times number was said by Shaoyao at the gate of the Lus, so the onlookers heard it and knew that Huo Wei hadn’t spent much in the Lu family for sixteen years.
On the one hand, they praised her for being a conscientious woman and returned her ten times of wealth. On the other hand, they laughed at the Lu s for being so shameless to raise a rich lady with such a little money. It was really shabby compared to other families.
That box of gifts was also very beautiful, all in pairs. Not only did Huo Wei send them to the Lus, but also to the Fangs. Didn’t these two people like to hook up? Didn’t they think that the original host was annoying? If they betrayed her, they would be together and never be separated.
Huo Wei knew that Lu Jingyun certainly didn’t want to marry him now, because it was not her good home, but her trap. But since Lu Jingyun snatched the marriage from her, she couldn’t let it go.
The news of the capital city spread quickly. Just as the people were wondering why someone wanted to kill Huo Wei, all the female relatives of the officials had already known that the empress had personally come to her shop, and she had even cut off the relationship between Huo Wei and the Lu family. Even when Huo Wei blesses Lu Jingyun had a happy marriage for a hundred years, the empress shad also agreed.
The marriage between the Fangs and the Lus was decided by the empress!!
With a livid face, Marquis called Fang Qingze in front of him and scolded him severely. If Fang Qingze hadn’t colluded with Lu Jingyun, how could the Fangs have fallen into such an embarrassing situation? After that, Marquis scolded his wife again. Marquise tried to find a decent way to break off the engagement, but she didn’t expect that she would be so humiliated now.
Now that Fangs had been humiliated, it would be better to let them get married as soon as possible and return the good reputation of the Lus for their kindness in the past. In the future, if they found an opportunity to kill Lu Jingyun, wouldn’t it be much more decent than now?
Marquise was so angry with an iris that she didn’t want to be threatened by the Lus. Now that Marquis had given the order, she didn’t dare to delay it any longer. She immediately calculated the nearest date and discussed with the Lus to get married in half a month.
Everything was ready. Half a month later, the Marquis hoped that there would be no more discussion about them in the capital. Anyway, now that things had come to this, they could only choose the most low-key and least-loss way.
Fang Qingze didn’t agree. He thought Lu Jingyun was vicious, but no one cared what he thought. He had to give in passively and wait for half a month to be the bridegroom.
The Lus also sent people to the temple to pick up Lu Jingyun, but they didn’t find her. The Lus had cursed her thousands of times, but they didn’t dare to make a sound. They could only secretly look for her.
At this time, Lu Jingyun was rescuing the third prince who had lost too much blood and fainted by the river from the mountain behind. She dragged the third prince into a wooden house of a hunter. She was relieved that she was safe for the rest of her life.
