All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

Dark clouds obscured the last ray of sunlight. Lu Yundi, with a worried look on his face, wandered anxiously around the house.

She felt as if there was a heavy burden on her heart, pressing her to the point where she couldn't breathe.

Ever since the Imperial Guards discovered that the Fourth Prince's mansion had a dragon robe with the words "Rui Fuxiang" sewn on it, her world has fallen into an unprecedented haze.

Ruifengxiang is the largest silk and satin shop in Beijing, run by the Lu family.

Privately imitating the dragon robe is regarded as treason, a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan!

Once this storm breaks out, the Lu family will face a devastating disaster.

"Madam, are you okay?" the maid Cuiying asked softly, her eyes full of worry.

Lu Yundi shook his head woodenly and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, but I'm a little worried. Cuiying, go check out the situation outside and find out if there is any new news from the Lu Mansion."

Cuiying responded and left in a hurry.

Lu Yundi looked out the window, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

She has been married into the Zhenxing Marquisate for more than twenty years, and has gradually grown from an inexperienced girl to the actual person in charge of the mansion.

As a stepmother, she took the initiative to assume the responsibility of raising her husband's children from a previous marriage, treating them as her own children, and brought them up to adultery. She even used her dowry to maintain the operation of the Marquis' Mansion and saved the crumbling mansion.

Unexpectedly, when the Lu family was in trouble, Zhenxing Marquis Jiang Jilian was the first to jump out to clarify that the two families had nothing to do with each other, and forced Lu Yundi to sign a divorce letter to avoid being implicated.

How ridiculous!

Not long after, Cuiying came back in a hurry, her face pale, "Madam, something terrible has happened! The entire Lu family has been arrested by the Jinyiwei, on the charge of colluding with the Fourth Prince to plot a rebellion and usurp the throne!"

Lu Yundi's heart tightened and she almost lost her balance. She held back her tears and asked, "Did they say anything?"

Cuiying shook her head. "The Jinyiwei suddenly broke in. Master Lu, his wife, and the eldest son were caught off guard and were taken away together. They didn't have time to say anything."

Lu Yundi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She knew that now was not the time to be sad, she had to find a way to rescue her parents and elder brother.

She pondered for a moment, and a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes: "Cuiying, go prepare the carriage, I want to go to the palace."

Cuiying looked at Madam in surprise: "Madam, is it too dangerous to enter the palace at this time?"

Lu Yundi smiled faintly: "I know whether it is dangerous or not. Now the whole capital knows that the Lu family has been wrongly accused of being a traitor. If I don't stand up, who can clear our grievances?"

Cuiying said no more and hurried to prepare the car.

Lu Yundi straightened his clothes and took a firm step forward.

The journey to the palace was not far, but at this moment, Lu Yundi felt as if there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them.

This trip is dangerous, but she has no way out.

After arriving at the palace, Lu Yundi went straight to Yikun Palace.

Empress Jiang Lili is the eldest daughter she personally cultivated, and is also the only person who can save the Lu family at the moment.

However, as soon as Lu Yundi arrived at the gate of Yikun Palace, he was stopped by the palace maids.

"I am Madam Jiang from the Zhenxing Marquisate. I have something to ask Her Majesty the Queen. Please pass it on."

As he had to ask for help from others, although Lu Yundi was anxious at the moment, he had to politely follow the palace rules.

"The Queen is taking a nap. We shouldn't disturb her. Please go back!" The palace maid looked ferocious and chased her down the jade steps like she was chasing away a fly.

The situation was imminent, and Lu Yundi was unwilling to be turned away, so she shouted at the top of her voice outside the door: "Li Li, I am your mother! Come out quickly, please save your grandparents!"

The palace maids were horrified and immediately rushed over to cover Lu Yundi's mouth and tried to drag her away.

At this moment, the eunuch He Gonggong came out of the Yikun Palace and shouted in a shrill voice: "Stop!"

The maids immediately stopped their actions. Lu Yundi broke free from her restraints and ran towards Eunuch He: "But the Queen wants to see me?"

But she saw Eunuch He grinning at her, with a eunuch on his left holding a ten-foot-long white silk, and a eunuch on his right holding a pot of Crane's Beak Red.

"Here, look! These are all given to you by the Queen! Choose one." Eunuch He sneered and signaled the eunuchs on his left and right to pass the white silk and poisoned wine to Lu Yundi.

Lu Yundi was stunned: "What does this mean?"

"Don't you understand? The Queen asked you to end your life on your own."

Lu Yundi's eyes moved between the white silk and the poisoned wine. She was panicking, her hands were shaking violently, and her voice was a little hoarse: "The Queen...why did she treat me like this? I have never done anything to let her down."

Eunuch He looked at her coldly, his tone devoid of warmth: "The Queen Mother allowed you to leave with dignity because she thought of you as her stepmother. Otherwise, the entire Lu family would be executed. Do you think you can walk out of here alive?"

Eunuch He waved his hands impatiently, signaling the eunuchs on his left and right to take action.

Lu Yundi's heart seemed to be hit hard, and she slumped to the ground. She couldn't believe her ears that the Queen Mother actually gave such an order.

"The Queen is not that kind of person. She won't be so heartless... Eunuch, please let me see the Queen. I must ask her in person if she really wants to kill me!"

Lu Yundi looked at the eunuchs approaching in horror, and suddenly got up from the ground and rushed to Eunuch He: "Eunuch, please let me see the Queen. I must ask her in person whether she really wants to kill me."

Eunuch He's face was gloomy. He looked at Lu Yundi coldly: "Do you think the Queen will see you? People like you are like ants in her eyes. She simply disdains you."

Lu Yundi completely collapsed, his eyes filled with despair.

Do not!

The Lu family is still waiting for her to rescue them, she absolutely cannot die so easily!

Despair and determination were intertwined in Lu Yundi's eyes. She clenched her teeth tightly and clenched her hands into fists.

"Mother, mother, why are you so stubborn?"

At this time, two young men in fancy clothes came over with sneers on their faces and cunning gleams in their eyes.

Lu Yundi looked in the direction of the voice and saw her two step-sons, Jiang Yinli and Jiang Yinyi.

The eldest son Jiang Yinli said, "Mother, if you are sensible, you should end it yourself so that we don't have to do it."

"That's right!" The second son Jiang Yinyi immediately echoed.

"You... actually want me to die too!" Lu Yundi looked at them, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

She didn't understand why these two stepsons hated her so much?

"Since mother is unwilling to choose, let Yi'er do it for her!"

Jiang Yinyi said, picking up the pot of poisoned wine, walked to Lu Yundi, and gently shook the pot in his hand: "Do you think you still have room for choice? How can you resist the order of the Queen Mother?"

Jiang Yinli's eyes flashed with gloom. He walked to Lu Yundi and whispered, "Mother, your death is a relief for you, and it is also a relief for us."

Jiang Yinli and Jiang Yinyi smiled at each other and brought the wine jug in their hands close to Lu Yundi's lips.

Lu Yundi was completely desperate, he kept his lips tightly closed and refused to give in.

She struggled hard, but was ultimately unable to break free from the control of the two eunuchs.
