Chapter 88 My biological brother: Please look at me again
At the palace gate, Qin Yu saw Yan Wanwan walking in a hurry and hurried forward to meet her.
He asked worriedly, "How's the situation? Is anyone giving you any trouble?"
Yan Wanwan dragged him towards the carriage, urging him: "Hurry up."
"Why?"
"There's a difficult fool outside the palace. Don't get entangled with her."
After saying this, she dived into the carriage.
Qin Yu broke out in a cold sweat and followed helplessly. At a command, the carriage sped away, raising a cloud of dust.
Shortly after they left, Chen Mei'e stumbled out.
Looking at the empty city gate, she was filled with hatred and gnashed her teeth, saying, "Yan Wanwan, you think you can escape just like this? That's wishful thinking. You are my biological daughter, and you will never be able to get away from me in this lifetime."
As soon as Yan Wanwan stepped into the mansion, the emperor's edict and rewards arrived.
The eunuch who announced the decree had a big smile on his face and announced loudly that Yan Wanwan was conferred the title of County Princess.
This eunuch had been serving the emperor for a long time, so he knew that the emperor was very pleased with Yan Wanwan's behavior.
The Emperor had originally harbored concerns about Qin Yu marrying Yan Wanwan, despite her generous dowry, fearing it would escalate into an unmanageable situation. Unexpectedly, the new bride, having just arrived, spent all her dowry, completely eliminating this potential threat. How could the Emperor not be delighted? This would make Yan Wanwan the key to balancing General Qin, and naturally a favorite of the Emperor. The eunuch would naturally do his utmost to please her.
Yan Wanwan didn't understand the emperor's many plans. She just felt that the position of county lord and the fiefdom were obtained without any effort. She was very happy and believed that she would be able to act more smoothly and freely in the future.
At the same time, Qin Yu also found out the reason that caused Yan Wanwan to be so shocked and pale. With a worried look on his face, he asked, "Is there someone in the palace looking for trouble? Are you okay?"
Yan Wanwan glanced at him, her eyes seemed to be reproaching: You have investigated everything clearly, but you still pretend that you don't know who did it. This is too pretentious.
Qin Yu immediately understood the deep meaning of his eyes and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't know what your attitude towards your biological mother was, so..."
Yan Wanwan clapped her hands lightly and said nonchalantly, "As you can see, how can someone who only knows how to rely on others and exploit their interests be worthy of being my biological mother? From now on, you will regard the Lu family as strangers. Even if they die, they have nothing to do with me."
After hearing her words, Qin Yu felt relieved and asked, "Do you want me to go and warn her?"
Chen Mei'e was like a fly that could not be driven away. Although not fatal, it was really disgusting.
"Don't! The more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more arrogant she will become. Just ignore her and let her have no place to vent her anger."
Before he finished speaking, the doorman came to report that the Lu family wanted to see him.
"Who wants to see you?"
"Madam, it's the eldest young master of the Lu family, Lu Shuyang, who wants to see you."
Yan Wanwan frowned in annoyance, her tone filled with impatience: "What is he doing here? Fine, let him in. I want to hear what nonsense this idiot has to say."
Not long after, Lu Shuyang was invited in. He looked decadent, with a beard growing on his face, and his clothes smelled strange, as if they hadn't been washed for a long time.
Yan Wanwan only glanced at him lightly, then looked away and asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Shuyang fell to his knees in front of her with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "Wanwan, I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed Lu Wanru's lies. Do you want the Lu family? I'll help you take everything from the Lu family. Please look at me. As long as you forgive me, I'll do anything you ask me to do."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wanwan's eyes widened, her pupils as bright as copper bells, staring straight at him. She said seriously, "I've seen it. You can get out of here now, right? Get out of here as far as you can. Don't let me see you again."
Lu Shuyang's face was full of disbelief, his eyes were filled with heartbreak and despair, and he seemed to be completely broken.
Seeing this, Yan Wanwan frowned even more unhappily: "Why, you want to go back on your word? Didn't you say that I'll see you, and I'll let you do whatever you want?"
Lu Shuyang hesitated to speak, and finally said with grief: "Do you hate me so much? I'm your biological brother!"
Yan Wanwan curled her lips in disdain, thinking to herself: I don’t care about your parents, and you little bastard are running in front of me to show off your presence.
She didn't want to waste any more time talking to him and asked the plant directly what had happened to him.
It wasn't long before they learned that Lu Shuyang had been expelled from the Imperial College after he had exposed his misconduct in the letter denouncing the evil woman. He had become a laughing stock among the other students. They had thought the incident would settle over time and they could continue their studies, but they were suddenly informed that Lu Shuyang's misconduct had stripped him of his title of scholar and barred him from taking the imperial examinations for life, completely ending his dream of passing the imperial examinations and becoming an official.
Seeing that he couldn't even take part in the imperial examination, and still not knowing how serious a crime he had committed, Lu Zhengping was furious and implemented family rules on him. After beating him half to death, he was kicked out of the house and announced to the public that he had no son.
Afterwards, he went to the Second Prince's Mansion to look for Lu Wanru in a half-dead state. However, instead of seeing Lu Wanru, he was ridiculed by her maid.
He had no idea that Lu Wanru had been crippled, lying on the bed unable to move her limbs, and that the maid he saw was the one he had bribed. The maid had already been resentful of serving Lu Wanru, a cripple, and when Lu Shuyang insisted on approaching her, she mocked him.
Lu Shuyang was so angry that he almost fainted. He was exhausted and had to sleep on the street. The next day, he looked for a way to make a living in the city. However, he was not good at clerical work or accounting, so he ended up begging.
Now that he can no longer live, he comes to me to ask for forgiveness. His so-called repentance is just a gimmick. Only he himself knows whether he is extremely hateful in his heart.
Yan Wanwan searched all over her body and finally took out a dozen copper coins and threw them in front of him, saying with pity: "It's pitiful that you were kicked out of the Lu family. Take the copper coins and get out!"
There was deep hatred in Lu Shuyang's eyes. He stared fiercely at the copper coins in front of him, as if he was insulted by them.
But when he looked up, he immediately changed into a look of surprise, "Wan Wan, you knew I was expelled from the Lu family. Have you been following my recent situation? Are you still thinking about my eldest brother?"
Yan Wanwan was immediately disgusted and called the guards at the door, "Go, drag him out quickly, don't let him disgust me."
Two guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the man away. Lu Shuyang let out a howling sound. At first, he was begging for forgiveness, but later it turned into a voice that refused to take the copper coins. Hearing this, Yan Wanwan sneered.
Are all the people in the Lu family stupid? There isn't a single normal person. It's really disgusting.
She was just about to go back to the dormitory to rest when the doorman came again to report, "Madam, the Lu family is here again."
"Didn't they drive him away? It's endless!"
"Madam, this time it is Lord Lu and his wife who are visiting."
Yan Wanwan complained in her heart: These people are like dog-skin plasters, they will come to you even if you don’t look for them.
Qin Yu walked out of the cubicle and said, "I rejected them. If you don't want to see them, you don't have to."
How could a low-ranking official threaten the general's wife?
Yan Wanwan waved her hand and said, "Let them in! I'll be busy with the affairs of the fiefdom in the future, and I don't want to tell them over and over again. It's better to solve it all at once, so that they won't use my reputation to cheat people in the future."
