Lu Yunjin?

Luo Xi thought for a while and dug out this person's information from the depths of her memory.

At the age of fourteen, he passed the examination as a scholar and became a distinguished scholar.

He was highly praised by the great scholars of Nanning Prefecture and was a promising young man by the prefect, but he had a miserable life.

His father joined the army when he was young, leaving his orphaned and widowed mother at home to serve her parents-in-law.

Five years ago, that man made great contributions to quelling the chaos in the northwest. He was valued by the present and appointed as a third-grade general.

It was not a glorious return to his hometown in fine clothes, but on the day he entered the court, he left his wife and children in the countryside in the name of officialdom being like a battlefield.

When there was good news again, the man performed extraordinary feats and was promoted from a third-grade military general to a third-grade Pingxi Marquis.

Become a prince and worship the prime minister, and honor your ancestors.

Just when everyone thought that Lu Yunjin and her son would reach the sky in one step and finally go to Beijing to live a noble life...

Unexpectedly, the Marquis is no longer what he used to be. He already has beauty around him.

The beauty has a long history, she is the youngest daughter of the prime minister's house.

As the saying goes: if you get promoted and make a fortune, your wife will die, but if you are in peace, you will demote your wife to a concubine to make way for a beautiful woman.

The first wife was strong-willed and asked to come down, but the beauty refused. How could a pariah from the countryside take over the identity of her husband's first wife and legitimate son?

His wife must be demoted to concubine, and Lu Yunjin must also change from a direct descendant to a concubine.

In ancient times, the children of concubines were equal to half slaves. Marriage in the imperial examination was entirely controlled by the aunt in the family.

Forced by strong power, the first wife had no choice but to hang herself with a ghost at home.

In this way, she will always be Ping Xihou's late wife, paving the way for her children with her own life.

But how can a woman who has never been out of Nanning Mansion know the horror of power?

Her behavior of hanging herself completely angered the beauty, and the guards she ordered to knock off Lu Yunjin's legs were alive.

His career path was cut off, and he was crucified in the small Zhengdao Village. He never thought of ever getting ahead again.

Recalling this, Luo Xi looked at the noisy group of people outside the door, and her eyes turned completely cold.

She proposed to the mayor that Lu Yunjin should be buried with him. Such a dirty and familiar method, Luo Xi knew it was done by Gu Chi without even thinking about it.

She said that Gu Chi came back too easily and that Ganqing had made a mistake again.

Luo Xi didn't intend to stand by and watch the matter of burying people alive. After all, this matter had something to do with her, and she was the one who caused the trouble by sending that scumbag to the mayor.

I took out the pen and paper in the space and wrote something in a few quick strokes.

The two parties over there have reached an agreement that regardless of whether the person in the house is awake or not, they will be taken away and buried now.

The two young men forcibly suppressed the thin boy and tried to lift him into the carriage...

Luo Xi walked closer step by step with a smile on her face, "Everyone, did you ask me for my opinion before moving him away?"

"Who are you and where do you come from?"

Second Aunt Lu had a fierce look on her face, her flesh was stacked on top of each other, and she asked angrily.

"Me!" Luo Xi smiled half-heartedly and tapped the young man with scarlet eyes on the wooden board with his fingertips, "His creditor."

The words "creditor" stunned everyone present.

Third Aunt Lu rolled her eyes and shouted: "What kind of creditor, where is the liar?"

Then he added: "Do you know that my eldest uncle is the most powerful prince in the imperial court? If you deceive my family, you are seeking death."

Luo Xi glanced at Lu Yunjin who was moved to two broken wooden boards.

When their eyes met, the boy had a pair of extremely clear black and white eyes, with three-dimensional facial features, like sculptures, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, black hair and red lips.

Looking at Luo Xi's meaningful smile, Lu Yunjin slowly stopped struggling, lowered his eyelids, and covered the emotions under his eyes with thick and curled eyelashes.

Luo Xi waved the IOU in front of everyone and said in a joking tone: "Kill people to pay for their lives and pay back their debts."

He added: "I owe five hundred taels of silver. This is written in black and white on this piece of paper. When I get in front of the emperor, you will have to pay me back."

He looked at Mrs. Lu up and down like he was looking at goods.

He touched his chin and commented: "The jade hosta on my head is worth fifty taels, and the two gold bracelets on my wrists are worth a hundred taels."

She seemed to be reluctant, "Although the material of the clothes is good, they have been worn, so I can barely give you a 30%."

"Total, I still need three hundred and fifty-three taels of silver. Do you want cash or banknotes?"

Mrs. Lu: "..." Why do I feel like an old sow waiting for a price?

She was so angry that she banged her cane and shouted angrily: "Where did you come from, this arrogant boy? He insulted the Marquis's mother, he should be punished according to the law."

"You...just leave that IOU and get out of here. I won't hold you accountable."

Luo Xi couldn't help it and smiled, "You are an official woman if you have a royal decree, and you can kneel down. Old lady, do you have one?"

His eyes became more and more playful, "As far as I know, your son who has become a high official does not care about recognizing your mother again."

"Otherwise, why don't we take you to the capital to enjoy the blessings, but leave you in the countryside?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, old lady, you are so pitiful."

After saying that, his face turned cold and he said, "Pay back the money."

Lu Yunjin raised his head, looking under his dark hair at the arrogant and confident Luo Xi standing in front of him, with dark eyes rolling.

Is there anyone...protecting him?

But...it's so interesting!

"..."

Why leave her in the countryside instead of taking her to the capital to enjoy her happiness?

These words stabbed Old Mrs. Lu hard in the heart, her face turned gloomy instantly, and the eyes of others fell on her body, which felt like a knife cutting her.

He opened his mouth several times to say something, but when he met Luo Xi's sharp and compelling gaze, he felt panicked.

Where did this brat come from? He tried many methods to scare others, but it was of no use to her.

Instead, he was forced to ask for money. He took a disgusted look at Lu Yunjin on the broken board. Not to mention five hundred taels, five coppers would not be spent on him.

He calmed down and shook off the blame: "The IOU was signed by you and Lu Yunjin, why should you ask me for it? I have no money."

Then he shook his head at the mayor's wife beside him, indicating that this might not be possible.

She even took a step back to give up her position. She had already collected the 200 taels of dowry from the mayor's family. Whether she could take him away or not was entirely up to the other party's ability.

Mrs. Lu's retreat allowed Mrs. Wang to see Luo Xi's face clearly. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Aren't you against that boy from the Menluo family?"

OK! This disaster ruined a good thing in his family last night. The master didn't have time to cause trouble for the other party, and now he came up and wanted to do something bad again.

How does this work?

He stretched out his hand to snatch the IOU from Luo Xi's hand, but said, "It's hard to say whether this is true or not. Take it and bring it to my master for identification."

Humph, once the IOU is in hand and taken to town, the real thing can be turned into fake for her.

The next moment, she felt that her outstretched arm was grabbed by a huge force and pulled back violently, causing her face to become distorted in pain.

"Ah! Ahhh... let go."

Luo Xi knocked over Mrs. Wang with one hand and kicked away the two boys who came to help.

His eyes were cold, but there was a smile on his lips: "The mayor is so majestic. He sells people, engages in secret marriages, and robs..."

"We often do things that violate the general laws and regulations. We should really ask the county magistrate if he gave the mayor the right to disregard human life."

In one word, Mrs. Wang couldn't care less about the pain. She got up from the ground and looked at Luo Xi with guilt and fear.

Se Li said inwardly: "What's the matter of buying and selling people? We are in a normal marriage, so don't talk nonsense."

She didn't dare to risk her master's future on the courage of a brat, "Okay, I'll be honest with you, we'll see."
