The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 225 Murder and Silence

The prison was dark and damp.

There was a foul smell everywhere.

Fuxiao and Zhiruo each held a lamp, but the road under their feet was covered with dark marks, like solidified blood.

Qin Wan stood in front of the prison door holding her mother's tablet. Lu Shanyuan and Zhao Linyi were curled up on the ground with disheveled hair, and the ground was covered with messy grass whose original color could not be seen.

Suddenly, two mice crawled through the hay, and one of them went straight into Zhao Linyi's trouser leg, scaring her so much that she screamed and rolled over.

Lu Shanyuan didn't move, just watched his mother slapping the mouse in her trouser leg and screaming.

Suddenly, he turned his head abruptly and met Qin Wan's frozen almond eyes.

He jumped up, rushed over, and grabbed the wooden fence, "Bitch, bitch, how dare you come here!"

He wanted to continue cursing, but in the dim light, a flash of fire appeared, illuminating the black gold paper tablet in Qin Wan's arms clearly. He paused and took a step back in fear.

Zhao Linyi crawled over crying, "Wan'er, Wan'er, grandma has always loved you. Please let me out for the sake of my old age."

Qin Wan said coldly, "Have you ever thought of letting my unborn brother go? Have you ever let my mother, who worked so hard for you, go? Have you ever let me go when I was only a teenager? When you ate the flesh and blood of me, my mother, and my brother for your own selfish interests, have you ever thought of letting us go?"

Zhao Linyi cried and stretched out her hand through the wooden fence, trying hard to reach Qin Wan: "Don't blame me, it's your father, he was blind to like that bitch Jiang Furong, I love you!"

"Ha, he is blind and has a black heart, but who forced me to accept Yu Churong snatching my husband and occupying my dowry? Who pushed me into the Xie family knowing that it was a hell? Zhao Linyi, are you doing this for the Marquis's Mansion? You are doing this for your own glory and wealth."

Lu Shanyuan suddenly grabbed Zhao Linyi's hair like crazy and threw her back fiercely.

He stared at Qin Wan viciously: "I have evidence of the crimes of the Lu and Xie families. Don't you hate the Xie and Lu families too? The evidence in my hands is enough to stare them to death. But, I want to live!"

Qin Wan sneered: "Do you have the evidence of your crimes?"

Lu Shanyuan immediately shook his head: "Not here."

"So, it must be in the mansion. Will your mansion still exist? If you break the law again, your property will be confiscated. Someone will naturally find out what you hide, so there is no need to save your life."

Qin Wan smiled and said, "I have good news for you. Just when I came out to see you, the old clan leader Lu sent a letter of resolution, expelling you and your son from the Lu family tree and severing all ties with your branch."

"What!" Lu Shanyuan was shocked.

Zhao Linyi didn't care about anything else after hearing this, he crawled over and hugged the wooden fence: "Impossible, they dare!"

"Of course they will do this. If they keep you in the Lu family tree, the entire Lu family will be destroyed along with you. You are already sinners, notorious, do you want the entire Lu family to be buried with you?"

"How dare they! How dare they! How did they curry favor with us in the first place!" Zhao Linyi went crazy, screaming and pounding the wooden fence.

Qin Wan continued, word by word: "There is no place for you in the Lu family's ancestral tomb. The two of you will die without a burial place."

"However, I will kindly give each of you a bamboo mat, roll it up and throw it into the mass grave. As for whether wild animals will eat your bodies, that depends on your luck. However, I think that wild animals will not want to eat you because you are too smelly!"

"You, you..." Lu Shanyuan stared at his biological daughter in front of him in horror.

Qin Wan held the tablet in front of them and said, "If you kneel down and kowtow to my mother and confess your sins, I will leave your bodies intact."

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Shanyuan shook the wooden fence angrily. The yamen runner raised his sword and stabbed it, hitting him in the chest. He curled up on the ground, holding his chest and wailing in pain.

Zhao Linyi stared at Qin Wan in a daze.

She suddenly knelt down and began to kowtow hard in front of the tablet.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was blinded by greed. Please leave my body intact. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Zhao Linyi kowtowed three times and cried out.

She really didn't want to stay here anymore and would rather die.

Lu Shanyuan also crawled over and knelt beside Zhao Linyi, his face pale. The knife stabbed him hard.

He looked at the tablet steadily and kowtowed slowly, "I'm sorry."

Qin Wan held her mother's tablet in her arms and turned to leave.

She didn't want her mother to see these two scumbags again!

As soon as I reached the door, there was sudden chaos outside, with fire shooting up everywhere.

Fuxiao quickly protected Qin Wan and walked out.

Cang Lang and the others also gathered around and protected the three people in the middle. "Are they here to kill Lu Shanyuan?"

"Probably yes."

Ah!
Zhiruo stepped on her skirt and fell backwards screaming.

Cang Lang rushed over, embraced the man with his long arms, and asked anxiously: "Are you hurt?"

Zhi Ruo was still in shock, staring blankly at the person holding her, and suddenly reached out to push him, "Let me go."

Cang Lang quickly let her go, "Be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people surrounded him.

The entrance was too small and there were too many people besieging them, so Qin Wan and the others had to retreat back into the prison.

Qin Wan frowned. So many people?
Do they want to kill me and the mother and child together?
"The fire is getting bigger and bigger." Dawn looked outside anxiously.

Not only are they fighting, they are also approaching this side.

Four people including Cang Lang came and guarded the door.

Zhao Linyi was terrified and hugged Lu Shanyuan's arm tightly: "Son, what's going on?"

Lu Shanyuan stared outside blankly, his expression changing unpredictably.

Qin Wan thought for a moment, then turned and walked to Lu Shanyuan's cell: "What evidence do you have? Why did they want to kill you to silence you?"

Lu Shanyuan came back to his senses and looked at Qin Wan: "Not only is it corruption and abuse of power, but there is also evidence of their framing of the Xu family."

Qin Wan raised her eyebrows: "Evidence that Duke Xu's mansion was wrongly accused?"

"Yes." Lu Shanyuan nodded, his eyes brightened: "If you save my life, I will give you evidence of the conspiracy of Lu and Queen Lu, and you can help the queen and her two children. No one can overturn this matter, only me."

Qin Wan stared at him.

Lu Shanyuan suddenly laughed: "The Lu family has evidence of the Queen's adultery. If the Queen is deposed, the Crown Prince and the eldest princess will be demoted to commoners. Don't you regard the Queen as your aunt? The eldest princess protects you so much, don't you want to protect them? My evidence is enough for you to trip up the Lu family."

Qin Wan's heart was churning and her thoughts were racing.

Whether or not what he said was true, it did touch her.

It is not difficult to bring down the Xie family. After all, she has been in the Xie family for many years and knows how to bring them down.

But Lu's tree is big and has deep roots, and she cannot be brought down by her own strength.

What's more, Yan Yunhe is gone now.

"Young Madam, our reinforcements are coming in, but the cells are surrounded by kerosene and are about to catch fire. We have to break out!" Canglang ran in.

"Are you hurt?" Zhiruo grabbed his hand and nervously checked the blood on his body.

"It's not my blood. Don't worry." Canglang's tone suddenly became much gentler.

Qin Wan's heart moved: "Okay. I brought a knife."

She drew a dagger from her waist.

"Take me away!" Lu Shanyuan slammed the wooden fence hard.

"Take me away, Wan'er, Wan'er, I will work like a slave for you." Zhao Linyi rushed over crying.

Lu Shanyuan kicked her away viciously: "Don't bring this burden with you, take me with you, I can help you take down the Lu Group."

Zhao Linyi was kicked in the chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His eyes went black and he fainted.

"Take him away." Qin Wan pointed at Lu Shanyuan.

Canglang raised his sword and chopped at the lock. With a clang, the chain broke.

Lu Shanyuan ran out and said, "Help me break the anklet, or I won't be able to keep up with you."

Qin Wan nodded.

Cang Lang cut off the anklet again and pointed the sword upwards: "If you dare to do anything bad, I will kill you immediately!"

Lu Shanyuan raised his hands and shook them vigorously: "No, no."
