What made Jiang Rui even more desperate was that people who came to the Lu family to demand debts had already surrounded the entire mansion. Not to mention, the imperial decree depriving the Lu family of their position as royal merchants also arrived at the mansion.

As soon as the imperial envoy finished reading the imperial edict, Jiang Rui fell to the ground and fainted in a daze.

"Auntie."

Lu Wenchi was so frightened that he hurriedly asked people to come to help him. Lu Boting and Lu Boyong also came out to help.

But those who came to collect debts still refused to leave. When Lu Wenchi heard about his second brother being granted a title, he hurriedly reprimanded:

"Our Lu family is not over yet. Everyone is waiting to get possession of our Lu family's property. The second brother of Dafang has been granted the title of Marquis of Changyuan by His Majesty. Sooner or later, the Lu family's imperial merchant position will be earned again."

Lu Boyong also said: "Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. My eldest brother was very kind to you when he was alive. Now that my sister-in-law is ill, you want to add insult to injury at this time. I am not afraid that I, the Lu family, will punish you after regaining His Majesty's favor."

Everyone is not afraid that the Lu family will regain favor, but they just want Lu Baisheng and Lu Wenqian to be kind. In addition, Jiang Rui is like this, so they can't force them anymore.

"If Mr. Lu hadn't been generous and generous when he was still alive, and Mr. Lu was a fair man, we wouldn't have cared about our old relationship. Just because of Lu Yanchao's style, we still want to revive the Lu family. Bah, what the hell."

The leading merchant in Quzhou spat heavily at Lu Baiting, and led others to disperse angrily.

Seeing this, the others also retreated.

Lu Boting and Lu Boyong looked at each other, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But the current situation of the Lu family is really worrying.

Although what those people said just now was unpleasant, they did not accuse Yanchao unjustly. What he had done since taking over the Lu family was indeed incomparable with the two people before him.

"How is Yanchao's wife doing now?"

Lu Boting asked.

"I was just a little frightened, nothing serious at the moment."

Lu Boyong sighed deeply, his heart hurting like a knife: "The Lu family was defeated by Yan Chao after all."

"But the Lu family can't be left to that sinner."

Lu Boting refuted disapprovingly.

Lu Wenchi listened to the innocuous complaints of the two elders, which did not help solve the problem at hand, so he could only remind him to the point:

"Although these merchants left today, they will not give up. The imperial court also ordered our Lu family to make up for the losses caused by the chaos in various states. This will be a huge expense. We should find a way to solve this problem now."

After hearing this, Lu Boting and Lu Boyong both sighed silently, and invariably thought of Lu Wenqian who had been kicked out of the house.

"It's better to go see your aunt first."

Lu Boting said weakly.

The group of people went to Qishuang Courtyard together, and Jiang Rui slowly woke up while being served by the female envoys.

"How are you feeling, sister-in-law? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Lu Boyong asked with concern.

Jiang Rui shook his head dejectedly: "It's not serious."

Then he asked again: "Can you tell me where Yan Chao is being held?"

"It should be in the county jail."

Lu Wenchi replied suspiciously.

"Take me to him quickly."

Jiang Rui sat up with difficulty: "With Tang Shun here, it shouldn't be difficult to meet him."

Lu Baiting and Lu Boyong knew that their sister-in-law could not let go of the only seedling in the big house, so they had no choice but to comply with her request and quickly sent people to prepare carriages and horses.

The group rushed to the county jail and waited for a long time. Finally, the Hanyi guards escorted Lu Yanchao back.

Under Tang Shun's arrangement, the group of people got their wish and met Lu Yanchao in prison.

"grandmother."

Lu Yanchao was now unkempt, with rotten vegetable leaves, mud, and eggs thrown all over his body. If he didn't look carefully, he could tell that the person in front of him was the once outstanding and arrogant young master of the Lu family.

"Chao'er."

Jiang Rui's voice was choked with sobs.

<divclass="contentadv">She touched her grandson's dirty cheek with trembling hands, not knowing whether to blame him or say some heart-warming words.

When she was extremely worried, the words that came out of Lu Yanchao's mouth had already blurted out: "Grandma, you have a way to save me, right? You won't just watch your grandson suffer, right?"

"Is there anything else we can do at this juncture?"

Tang Shun pursed his lips and said.

"No, father-in-law, you are currently in charge of Han Yiwei. My son-in-law heard that you have a close friendship with Xie Junyi. As long as you release me from prison, from now on, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, and I will be able to find a safe place to live."

Lu Yanchao couldn't wait to say: "I once met a few old friends in the North. They can take me away from Dayue Dynasty. At worst, I will remain anonymous from now on."

"You can also say this."

Tang Shun said angrily: "Could it be that you want to trade the lives of my Tang family and your Lu family for your own life?"

Lu Yanchao suddenly choked.

Lu Boyong and Lu Boting also looked at him angrily.

Even Jiang Rui felt quite depressed and shocked by her grandson's words.

The grandson is now a prisoner of the imperial court designated by the emperor. If he is released, wouldn't it be a serious crime against the nine clans?

"Chao'er, do you think you really don't have any close relatives in your heart?"

Jiang Rui asked in disappointment, "Are the lives of your wife, your unborn child, and hundreds of people in the Lu family less important than yours?"

Lu Yanchao's expression became dull and he slowly closed his eyes.

In his view, everything can be given up. As long as he can live, there is nothing that cannot be earned back.

Everyone was disappointed with his attitude.

"You are a beast."

Lu Boting scolded angrily, and left without caring about Jiang Rui's expression.

Jiang Rui felt empty in her heart at this time, as if the whole sky had collapsed. She couldn't believe that the grandson she loved could be so virtuous.

Holding on to the wall of the prison, she staggered out.

"grandmother."

Lu Yanchao became even more anxious.

My grandmother loves me the most, how could she be willing to leave like this?

"Grandma, I am the only descendant under your knees who can continue the bloodline of Dafang. Are you going to do nothing to save me? See Dafang completely cut off from the family?"

"Pooh."

After hearing this, Tang Shunzhen regretted his plan and even more regretted marrying his daughter to him.

"Strictly guard and make sure there are no mistakes before the execution."

Tang Shun had given up on his son-in-law and walked away angrily.

"father in law."

Lu Yanchao was furious. Seeing everyone leaving him, he completely panicked and screamed crazily in prison.

The evil energy in his body kept surging and began to tear apart his soul.

In a daze, he thought of Feng Yage's familiar eyes.

"is her?"

Lu Yanchao shouted in fear: "It's her."

He could now conclude that the woman in Feng Yage was definitely not the Shen family woman from before. Her behavior was exactly the same as that of the one he knew well, but she had just changed her skin.

But now that he is calling every day and the earth is not working, who will take care of him?
