The man smiled.

"You see, I forgot about that. Otherwise it would have to be the beginning."

"Okay, stop flattering me."

The leader walked up to Lu Zhenghou

"Old General, it's almost time for us to set off. If we are any later, we will have no explanation."

Lu Zhenghe nodded slightly, took his wife's hand, and walked out slowly and with his head held high.

Tan Shu, Li Ling, Zhao Chunwan, Lu Zhiqing, Lu Wenli, and Lu Wenshang followed behind.

Jiang Sheng suddenly shouted

"and many more!"

Everyone in the Lu family stopped, Jiang Sheng walked to Lu Zhenghe and Ye Rong, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

His lips moved slightly, and he said silently to the people behind him:

"wait for me."

He stood up and walked out, leaving before them.

The bleak autumn wind made her body look even thinner, but she walked firmly and never looked back.

After the Lu family members were taken away, the maids, old women and servants in the mansion also left one after another.

The huge Duke's Mansion suddenly became empty.

The Jingji Guards were stationed here, and when the people from the Dali Temple had completed the sealing, they put a seal on the gate. The century-old general's mansion then fell completely silent.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Jiang Sheng had no time to feel sad. She said to Ying Qiu

"Yingqiu, you are good at martial arts. Go to the Qin family, the Zhao family, and the Li family and tell them not to get involved in the Lu family's affairs and to take care of their own family. After you are done, come to the Yuelai Inn to find us."

"Yes."

Nanzhu stood beside Jiang Sheng

"Miss, what shall we do next?"

Jiang Sheng was silent for a moment

"Let's go to the dental office first and rent a house."

It took Second Uncle and Wen Chuan more than half a month to return from Fengcheng, so they couldn't stay in the inn every day.

On the way to the dental clinic, Jiang Sheng took out the letter of divorce again.

Lu Wenzhou, you are such a big liar. You kept saying that you would come back, but you had already written a letter of divorce behind my back.

If you come back, I'll show you how I'll deal with you.

When she opened it, she found that it was indeed a standard divorce letter, but it did not look like Lu Wenzhou's note.

There was something else in the envelope besides this.

It was a key and a note.

"No. 49, Chunxi Road."

Nanzhu whispered

"Miss, Chunxi Road is in the north of the city. The north of the city is where ordinary people live. It is recognized as a slum in the capital."

Jiang Sheng held the key and thought for a moment.

"Yingyue, go to Yuelai Inn and wait for Yingqiu, and then the two of you can come here together."

Yingyue nodded in agreement, and then Jiang Sheng took Nanzhu and Yuzhu to Chunxi Road.

When they got there, the master and his two servants asked around for a long time before finally finding the house at No. 49 at the end of a narrow alley.

Yuzhu looked around

"This place is so small, and the environment is not good, but it is clean."

Nanzhu grabbed her ear and said

"Nowadays you should be content with having a place to live, but you are still being picky."

Jiang Sheng took the key to unlock it, and the big lock opened with a click.

Jiang Sheng put away the key and pushed open the gate. The gate creaked and felt like it was quite old.

After entering the yard, they found that it was much larger than they had expected.

Although there are only three houses, the layout is very regular.

There is also a well in the yard.

Nanzhu and Yuzhu drew water from the well and began to clean up the house.

"Miss, the bedding here is all new. You can tell at a glance that no one has used it."

"This saves the trouble of cleaning."

When Yingqiu and Yingyue came, they had just cleaned up the room.

"Have you all been notified?"

"The notice has arrived."

“What were the reactions of these families?”

"They were very worried about the affairs of the General's Mansion. When they saw me there, they asked me about it. But I didn't know much, so I had to tell them the truth. Then they gave up."

Jiang Sheng nodded and sat there for a long time without saying anything.

Nanzhu looked at her distressedly

"Miss, the east room has been cleaned up. Please come in and have a rest."

Jiang Sheng did not refuse, but just nodded and slowly walked back to the house.

Nanzhu shook his head and sighed

"The young master is dead, and the young lady's soul is gone with him."

Yingqiu said in a deep voice

"The young lady looks weak, but she is actually strong. In the past, there were too many people standing in her way, so she could naturally be at ease as the gentle Madam Lu. Now... I believe that the young lady will cheer up."

Furthermore, Yingqiu also believed in the Third Master's vision.

Of the entire Lu family, he only chose the young lady. The Third Master must have his reasons for doing so.

Jiang Sheng returned to the room and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. There were too many unexpected news today, which caught her off guard. Now that she had calmed down, she seemed to be much more sober.

Uncle San prepared a letter of divorce and a house, probably because he had calculated that she would not leave after something happened to the Lu family.

But how did he know that something would happen to the Lu family?

The imperial edict said that daddy was ambitious and was ambushed while pursuing the remnants of Beiyuan. However, based on her understanding of daddy in these two lives, daddy was always cautious in battle. He often said that the most taboo on the battlefield is to pursue relentlessly, and he often said this: don't pursue the enemy who is desperate.

How could he violate his own taboo?

Besides, my second uncle who guards Lingcheng is the most tactful and prudent person in doing things. How could he lead the troops out of the city without permission?

Dad has always been a stickler for rules. If he really needed support, he would definitely ask for permission and would never let my second uncle be charged with deserting his post.

It takes seven or eight days to get from Lingcheng to Fengcheng. By that time, she could still receive letters from Azhou, but Azhou never mentioned asking his second uncle to go over for support.

So, why did my second uncle go to Fengcheng?

She felt that the Lu family’s affairs might not be that simple.

Could it be that, just like in the previous life, someone deliberately framed me?

Jiang Sheng was thinking so much that she had a headache and wanted to lie down on the bed for a while. But when she sat down, she felt like there was something under the mattress. She lifted the mattress and found a letter.

"The cellar is under the bed."

Jiang Sheng lifted up all the bedding and found a copper ring at the end of the bed.

She pulled the copper ring hard and saw a tunnel leading downwards.

She picked up the kerosene lamp on the table, lit it, and went down the stairs.

The stairs were not long and I reached the bottom after walking about a dozen steps.

Seeing several lamps on the wall, she lit them one by one.

When the lights were turned on, the entire cellar was in sight.

What surprised Jiang Sheng was that, apart from rice and flour, the rest were boxes of silver.

In addition to these there were four large sealed boxes.

After Jiang Sheng opened it, he found that in addition to a letter, there were actually bags of seeds.

There are all kinds of fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs and Chinese medicine.

But why did Uncle San prepare so many seeds here?

Could it be that Uncle San discovered something?
