The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

The sisters Lu Rulian and Lu Rubao are both from the old Lu family in the countryside.

They have suffered a lot in the capital over the past six months.

Originally, Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu brought their entire family to the capital because they thought that their second uncle Lu Ming had been promoted and Lu Zhaoyun had been granted the title of concubine of the second prince. The Lu family was about to prosper, so they brought them along to enjoy the good life.

From then on, the Lu family was able to get rid of their country status and become the new elite in Beijing.

Yes, that's what they thought.

But who knew that from the moment they stepped into the capital, everything would be different from what they had imagined.

Lu Ming's wife Jin Qiaozhen became a maid of his first wife Cui Liyue and a slave.

Lu Anrong, the eldest son who had made Lu Ming very proud, suddenly became a slave-born son.

Half a year ago, Lu Anrong saved a lot of powerful children in the academy. He originally thought that he could become famous and get the gratitude from those powerful children. However, who knew that he would become a slave one day. Those people, who were anxious to distance themselves from them, just sent him away with a few words of thank you.

Others gave some silver as a way of repaying a favor.

Lu Anrong originally wanted to throw the silver back in their faces, scolding them for looking down on him by giving him such a small amount of silver to repay a favor, and thinking that he was a pauper who only deserved to ask for money. However, his family's situation made him lose the courage to do so.

After taking the money from those people, the fact that he saved people was just like that, forgotten like the wind, never to be mentioned again.

Even Dai Xu, the Prince of Dai, was quite enthusiastic at first. He risked being arrested and brought people to their house to have a gathering and have fun. Later, for some reason, he also sent twenty taels of silver. From then on, whenever they met him outside, he would run away faster than a cat.

The emperor originally wanted to kill all the members of the Lu family.

Fortunately, Lu Zhaoyun tried every means to see the Second Prince, risked his life to use the medicine once, and succeeded in having the relationship with the Second Prince.

Her belly was able to hold its own and she became pregnant that time.

That was also Lu Anrong's help.

Lu Anrong managed to let Lu Zhaoyun meet the Second Prince, and he had someone get the medicine for him.

Afterwards, Lu Anrong used up all the money he had earned from saving his life and went through untold hardships to get the news of Lu Zhaoyun's pregnancy into the palace.

Fortunately, the emperor favors the second prince.

Otherwise, for a person of Lu Zhaoyun's status, the pregnancy would probably be done with just a bowl of soup.

But because of this incident, Lu Anrong spent every last penny of his money, and he even lost ten pounds from all the running around.

The emperor originally wanted to chop off the heads of the entire Lu family, but because of the child in Lu Zhaoyun's belly, he has now pardoned them from the death penalty. However, Lu Ming naturally lost his official position.

It turns out that although he was just a seventh-rank official, he was still an official.

If you go out now, you will never hear anyone calling you Lord Lu again.

Jin Qiaozhen was thrown into jail, but because of the baby in Lu Zhaoyun's belly, she was not beheaded for the time being.

However, they all knew that if the child Lu Zhaoyun was carrying was not a boy, Jin Qiaozhen would still have to be beheaded.

The Lu family will still be in trouble.

Lu Zhaoyun is not a very glorious child now.

It will all depend on the emperor’s mood in the future.

Anyway, the Lu family is now crowded together and living in a cramped environment. They can only eat one meal a day, and they have to rely on snatching, but they can't be full even if they snatch.

Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu wanted to quit and go back to the countryside, but now they can't go back. The Emperor will not allow them to leave Beijing for the time being and is watching them right under his nose.

All the hopes of the Lu family are pinned on the child in Lu Zhaoyun's belly. She herself is under an incredible amount of pressure, so she keeps mumbling to herself all day long.

Under such circumstances, the sisters Lu Rulian and Lu Rubao must have tried their best to find a way out for themselves.

Lu Rubao was still young and had a bad temper. She ran into obstacles wherever she went. She also spoke harshly and offended many people.

Lu Rulian had to apologize to others for her many times, and even had her face thrown on the ground and stepped on by others.

Now I am also very tired.

Lu Rubao had no idea who had bewitched him recently and thought that he could follow the Second Prince's path, so he tried every day to get into the Second Prince's mansion.

Of course, she couldn't possibly be coveting the Second Prince, she just felt that as long as the Second Prince was willing to help her, he would definitely be able to help her find a good husband.

As a result, the second prince was often away, and when he was seen occasionally, he would just turn his face away and leave.

"I know Sister Zhaoyun told you that the eldest son of the Sun family is the most suitable husband for you, but there is no way he would like you."

Lu Rubao has been scolded a lot by Lu Rulian recently, and she has a lot of opinions about her. She always feels that Lu Rulian only cares about herself and can't stand her being better than she is.

"The Sun family's business is so big. I heard from the servants of the Second Prince's Mansion that the Second Prince was always polite when he saw the eldest son of the Sun family, because the Sun family is very rich."

Lu Rubao also coveted Sun Yanyan, but unfortunately she was too young and Sun Yanyan would definitely look down on her.

She is not as pretty as Lu Rulian.

But, neither she nor Lu Rulian can do it.

Knowing that Sun Yanyan ignored Lu Rulian, Lu Rubao felt a little gloating.

"Don't worry about my business."

Lu Rulian felt disgusted when her sister said this.

In fact, after getting to know Sun Yanyan over the past six months, she realized one thing: Lu Zhaoyun was an idiot with his eyes on the top of his head!

How could her conditions be comparable to Sun Yanyan's?

So she had actually secretly adjusted her goal. She wanted to marry the manager of the Sun family business.

However, it is not convenient to tell these to Lu Rubao, the big mouth, to avoid Lu Rubao getting into trouble.

"Then you don't have to worry about me!"

Lu Rubao pushed Lu Rulian away and ran away quickly.

What's happening in the capital is now very far away from Subei.

In fact, even if they knew what happened in the capital, Lu Zhaoling and the others would not take it to heart.

For General Qiu and his men at Yulan Pass, those little calculations simply did not enter their minds.

Because their morale is now on edge because of the strange will-o'-the-wisp.

Last night, after General Qiu shot an arrow at the torches outside the city, there was no movement after the torches went out.

Early this morning, General Qiu led a group of elite soldiers out of the city to check.

Last night, it seemed that the torches were quite close to the city wall, but General Qiu and his men rode out on horseback and galloped for a long distance, but no traces were seen.

"General, it's very strange that we haven't seen the arrow you shot last night." The deputy general felt very strange.

They originally thought that as long as they found the arrow shot by the general, they would be able to confirm the location of the torches.

Once we find it, we'll be able to find some clues and figure out what those torches are all about.

As a result, after running so far, the arrow was not found.

"Perhaps they took out the arrow, too."
