Chapter 384: Don't Be a Substitute for the Twins 26
"You...you are such a traitor."
As soon as Madam Lu arrived, she heard the roar of Marquis Yong'an coming from inside.
"Madam, the Marquis has ordered that no one is allowed to enter when he is reminiscing about the past with the young master." Lu Bin stopped Madam Lu outside the door.
Just as he finished speaking, a loud noise was heard from inside.
'Snapped……'
There was the sound of something breaking, and Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Bin was also a little hesitant, worried about what had happened inside, but with the order from Marquis Yong'an in front of him, he did not dare to act rashly.
Since the current Majesty ascended the throne, the hereditary title of marquis was abolished, and the Lu family is not as powerful as before, but it is still easy for Marquis Yong'an to deal with his little servant son if he wants.
"you……"
Before Mrs. Lu could finish her words, the door was opened from the inside.
Yun Yi was wearing a dark robe. He raised his eyes in a reserved and low voice. Mrs. Lu was caught off guard and their eyes met.
"Nagaze... Changming, you..."
"Lu Changming was sent by His Majesty to the south to provide disaster relief. Madam Lu recognized the wrong person." Yun Yi explained in a cold voice.
He didn't mind the name "Lu Changze" that came out of her mouth the first time she saw him.
"The Marquis is ill, Madam Lu should go see him first."
Seeing Mrs. Lu staring at him, Yun Yi smiled and pointed inside the house and said.
Madam Lu looked into the room in a hurry, and saw that Marquis Yong'an had fallen off the bed, with cups and medicine bowls scattered all over the floor.
"Master Hou."
Madam Lu and Lu Bin hurried to the house to help people. Yun Yi did not need a servant to lead the way. He jumped directly onto the roof and left the Yong'an Marquis Mansion from the roof.
According to the laws of the Wen Kingdom, murder is against the law.
He would never do anything that breaks the law.
Half a month later, Marquis Yong'an died of illness, and Wen Chang ordered the Ministry of Rites to arrange all funeral matters according to the ritual system of the Marquis.
Three days later, Lu Changming, who was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief, fell into the rapids due to the severe flood and died heroically. At the same time, the guards who had been sent by Wen Chang on official business for many years returned to his side.
At this point, the Yong'an Marquisate and the Lu family no longer existed and completely disappeared in the river of history.
In the entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the only person Yun Yi had a good impression of was the old lady who recognized him at first sight.
But his good impression of the old lady was not enough to support him to stay in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and try hard to flatter those people.
But when the guard pretended to be Lu Changming, Yun Yi asked him to take good care of the old lady.
The guard took advantage of Yun Yi and carefully played the role of Lu Changming in front of the old lady. In addition, the old lady was old and her mind was a little confused, so she never realized that the Lu Changming beside her was fake.
What's more, in many cases, if a lie is repeated enough, it becomes true.
It was not until more than a year after Lu Changze's death that the old lady passed away in her sleep under the proper care of her "little grandson" at the age of eighty-seven.
After the funerals of Marquis Yong'an and Lu Changming, Madam Lu did not return to her parents' home. Instead, she sold the Marquis's mansion and left the capital with her maids and servants. No one knew where they went.
The territory of Wen State is relatively stable. With the silver and servants around her, she can survive no matter where she goes.
-
In the sixth year of Wen Chang's accession to the throne, he formally ordered the generals guarding the border to attack the State of Xiao. The reason was that the eldest princess of the State of Xiao had faked her death and deceived the State of Wen for many years, and he wanted to seek justice.
With the war on the front line, the lives of ordinary people were inevitably affected.
Just when everyone thought that this war would last a long time, the State of Xiao actually opened its city gates and the entire country surrendered.
The State of Wen sent troops to station in the territory of the State of Xiao, and brought the Queen Mother of the State of Xiao, the Emperor, the Princess and others to the capital, giving them large rewards and a mansion.
Although he is not as rich as he was in Xiao State, he will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life.
Yun Yi was very surprised by Xiao Keyan's action.
The reason why Wen Chang kept Xiao State and went to recover other small countries around it first was because Xiao State was the most powerful among the surrounding countries, with the largest land area and a geographical location that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
When Wen Chang first heard the news from the front line that Xiao State was willing to surrender, he thought it was a false surrender.
But no one expected that the whole process would go so smoothly, and the Xiao royal family did not make any resistance.
"My mother is getting older, my brother is no longer useful, and I have no intention of becoming emperor. Rather than struggling to survive, it is better to surrender as soon as possible so that the people can suffer less."
Xiao Keyan stood by the window of the restaurant, looking at the distant mountains outside the city. Her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the mountains and rivers and see the current appearance of the people of Xiaocheng.
Wen Chang was a good emperor, as could be seen from the way he governed the State of Wen over the years, and one of the reasons why she was willing to surrender was that Wen Chang treated the people of the State of Xiao well.
"Aren't you afraid that you will be infamous in history books for eternity?" Yun Yi put down the cup and asked.
"Throughout history books, there have been records of the merits and demerits of too many men. It would be great if I could have a place in that field in the future." Xiao Keyan said with a nonchalant smile.
All she wanted was wealth and honor during her lifetime. As for her reputation after death, no matter what people said, it would not affect her at all.
It was just like she had had so many lovers as she pleased before, and didn't care what others said about her being lewd and shameless.
She is alive and well now, and that is enough.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. We'll have a drink together sometime later." Xiao Keyan noticed someone coming, put down his glass and turned to leave.
Yun Yi glanced down from the window and saw Xiao Keyan and Zhou Lingyan getting into a carriage.
Even after surrendering to the capital, Xiao Keyan still brought several men with her, and Zhou Lingyan was one of them.
It seems that their relationship has been good over the years, but Xiao Keyan is a person who enjoys enjoying life, which means that Zhou Lingyan is not the only man around her.
But now she is no longer the eldest princess, so she should not be as unscrupulous as before in taking lovers.
Yun Yi's thoughts jumped, but he soon put them behind him.
Yunmu's 60th birthday is coming soon, and he plans to make a gift for her personally.
Thinking of this, Yun Yi went to the mine to select materials himself and started working in full swing.

"It's all my fault. I accidentally spilled the water and scalded the child. It's all my fault."
"It's normal for a child to knock over a cup because of his restless hands and feet. How can you be blamed for that?"
"Anyway, it's my fault. If I had tested the water temperature before giving it to Yunyi, he wouldn't have been scalded. I felt so sad just hearing him cry."
The woman cried softly, and the man held her in his arms and comforted her gently.
It took a long time to coax her into smiling.
"I told you long ago that Yun Yi should live with me, but you insisted on bringing him along, and now it's turned out like this. Are there any parents like you in this world?"
