The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 358, second watch

The Liu family not only sent a letter of divorce, but also revealed the powerful relationship in it.

The Meng family was helpless, but Lu Yuan jumped up all of a sudden, "How could the Liu family treat me like this, what did I do wrong, no, I have to go back to find the old lady's theory."

Lu Yuan's temperament has not changed at all for so many years, he was about to rush out regardless of the maid's obstruction, and he was still in such a hurry.

Mrs. Meng came back to her senses and grabbed Lu Yuan, "Yuan'er, don't think about yourself, you should also think about your two elder brothers. The two brothers are still young. If you go back, you will inevitably implicate the Liu family." .”

Instead of being angry and blaming the Liu family for divorced Lu Yuan at this time, Mrs. Meng understood very well.

"Mother?"

"Sit down and think about it carefully. If you just rushed out like this, what kind of results can you get? Now Prince Qin's mansion is on the verge of collapse and cannot support you anymore."

Mrs. Meng took a deep breath, "If you accept this letter of divorce, Mrs. Liu will have to treat the two brothers kindly for the sake of your righteousness. If you tear your face apart, what good will it do to the two brothers?"

The two children are Lu Yuan's lifeblood. When the two children are mentioned, Lu Yuan is like a deflated ball, sitting blankly and looking at Meng Shi, the corners of his eyes are like broken beads.

The next moment, she collapsed and cried loudly in Meng's arms, a burst of despair.

"Mother, why did things become like this?"

The Meng family sighed, "Although the disaster is not as bad as a married woman, the Liu family can understand what they are doing. It is the utmost benevolence to tolerate it so far. I only hope that I can treat my two children kindly. Sister Yuan, this is fate, and no one can break away from it." .”

Lu Yuan bit her lips tightly and cried for a long time. In the past, everyone was envious of her. She was the eldest daughter of Prince Qin's mansion.

Now, Lu Yuan is not reconciled to restraining herself because of this identity, but for the sake of the two children, Lu Yuan can only grit her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

"Let's just say that we have accepted the divorce letter, and the young lady's dowry doesn't have to be returned, so let's keep the two children."

Mrs. Meng ordered a few words to the servant girl, who nodded, "Yes."

Lu Yuan cried very sadly, tears kept flowing, heartbroken.

Mrs. Meng waved her hand, "Stand back, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes."

After dismissing a room full of maids and women, Meng Shi had a serious face, and she went all out for the sake of her two children, and a very bold idea lingered in her mind.

"Sister Yuan, my mother won't hide anything from you. As long as you have a chance in the future, you will take Sister Ying to hide far away, and never return to Shengjing. Even if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, don't show up."

Mrs. Meng ordered solemnly, but Lu Yuan was at a loss, "Mother?"

The two of them talked about something in the room for a long time, and early the next morning, Emperor Yusheng decreed to deprive Prince Qin of his title of prince, demoted him to a commoner and imprisoned him in Prince Qin's mansion.

Princess Qin fell to the ground suddenly, her mind went dark for a while, she watched helplessly as the eunuchs and guards in the palace took away all the clothes, hats and seals that symbolized her status.

Even the imperial uniform worn by Princess Qin was stripped off.

"My lord, what should I do?" Princess Qin covered her mouth and wept.

Little did he know that the voice of the prince happened to be heard by a father-in-law, and the father-in-law's face changed, "How dare you disregard the will of the Holy Majesty and slap your mouth twenty times!"

Princess Qin was shocked, and before she had time to react, she saw the two little father-in-laws holding Princess Qin tightly, and they raised their hands and hit her down with a crackling sound.

Princess Qin cried out in pain, gritted her teeth tightly and felt a burst of shame from the bottom of her heart. She had never been humiliated like this before, and she felt like dying immediately.

No one dared to stand up to stop them, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Soon twenty slaps passed, the little eunuch let go, and Princess Qin fell to the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen.

"Lu Shi, you need to learn a lesson, don't make things difficult for us."

Princess Qin gritted her teeth and remained silent, watching the group of people go away, and then there was a loud bang, the door was closed, and the shocked hearts trembled.

"Mother, are you alright?" Lu Shengyuan walked over and supported Qin Princess Lu.

Lu shook her head, "Mom is fine."

King Qin stood up slowly, then returned to the room without saying a word, and remained silent for a long time.

On the side, Mrs. Meng secretly made up her mind to spend more time with Lu Ying and Lu Yuan while she was free.

Lu Yuan was silent for a whole day, and kept silent, feeling a little uneasy.

In the evening, Mrs. Meng personally prepared a table of good wine and food to entertain Mr. Lu.

"Master, you have been with me for almost 20 years, and I have never cooked a meal for you. In the past, I was too busy, so I didn't come out. Now that I have nothing to do, why don't you try it?" How about the handicraft of the concubine?"

Second Master Lu was also very depressed at first, and he couldn't stop drinking when he saw wine, one glass after another.

"Sit down too. In the end, you can still be by my side. I'm not lonely by myself."

Second Master Lu dragged Mrs. Meng to sit aside, Mrs. Meng smiled and kept getting up to refill Mr. Lu's wine.

"My master and my concubine are husband and wife. We have the same blessings and share the same hardships. Everything is chosen by the concubine. Who can blame me? Tonight, let's put aside those unhappy things, have a good drink, and get drunk. There are no more worries."

Mrs. Meng raised her wine glass and toasted Second Master Lu, who nodded in agreement, "You're right, you won't have any troubles when you're drunk."

Second Master Lu drank non-stop, and soon his eyes became a little blurred. Until midnight, Second Master Lu drank seven or eight glasses of wine, and finally couldn't help but lay down on the table.

Meng shi picked up a glass of wine and took a sip alone, then suddenly heard the name Lu Erye muttered in his mouth when he got up, his face suddenly darkened without any hesitation.

Meng Shi picked up a pen and wrote down a few numbers on the paper. The pen was as sharp as Lu Erye's, and it was difficult to tell the authenticity from the fake.

At this time, the door was pushed open and Lu Yuan walked in.

Lu Yuan glanced at Second Master Lu lying on the table, his heart beat faster and his throat tightened.

"Mother……"

Mrs. Meng walked over and grabbed Lu Yuan's arm, "Now there is no way out, as long as you and sister Ying have a chance to get out alive, it doesn't matter anymore, your father's life is just a matter of time That's all."

Lu Yuan nodded, and his heartbeat eased a bit.

"I've made all the arrangements. I'll go to your grandmother's place tomorrow morning." A stern look flashed across Meng's eyes, "Go back first and remember what mother said."

Lu Yuan nodded, "My daughter understands."

The Meng family gave Second Master Lu poison, and he would die violently alone in two hours, holding the remaining half of the bottle tightly in his hand.

Before dawn, Mrs. Meng went to serve Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu was lying on the couch humming unwell, feeling as if her mind exploded.

Mrs. Meng waited patiently, brought a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Lu, who took it unprepared, and took a sip before lying down.

Xu was extremely tired, and Lu fell asleep after a while.

Before Meng shi left, she glanced at the candle flames that were still burning and dancing slowly, and rolled her eyes.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire..."

Soon a scream pierced the sky over the entire Prince Qin's mansion, and suddenly thick smoke billowed from the courtyard of Princess Qin and began to burn.

A gust of wind blew through, and the fire rushed from the east courtyard to the west courtyard, and it caught up as soon as it touched it.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" King Qin came out, and when he heard that Princess Qin was still inside, he rushed in desperately.

"My lord!"

Not far away, a pair of slightly smiling eyes observed all this, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"The province will suffer in the future, so go to death."

There was a murderous intent in Lu Shengyuan's eyes hidden behind his back, and soon the flames blazed into the sky. For some reason, the more he splashed the water, the more intense the fire became.

Lu Shengyuan poured palm oil into dozens of wells in the mansion, and soon the fire was out of control, spreading faster and faster, dyeing half of the sky red and illuminating the originally dimly lit sky.

This King Qin carried out Princess Qin, and fell to the ground with burns all over her body. Before going out, she couldn't stabilize her foot, and a pillar fell directly on King Qin.

King Qin fell down and let out a muffled grunt, and soon fell unconscious.

The courageous butler rushed forward desperately, dragged the two of them in the open space, got hurt in several places, and rolled on the ground before extinguishing it.

Second room
Meng Shi gave all her body to Lu Yuan and Lu Ying.

"Remember what your mother said, you must live well, and don't come back to Beijing again."

Meng shi reluctantly told the two sisters to look up from time to time, then waved her hands, "Remember not to come out at any time, there are dried fruits and some food inside."

Lu Yuan and Lu Ying nodded, and walked down the cellar step by step to hide. There is a road leading to a street outside, and at the end is a dilapidated courtyard.

"Mother, come with us." Lu Yuan grabbed Meng Shi's arm before leaving.

Meng Shi shook her head, "Silly boy, if mother goes with you, it will only drag you down. The goal is too big. Remember that you two must live well together."

The two nodded solemnly, and then retracted their bodies. The sound of footsteps gradually receded, and Meng was relieved, without any scruples.

She discovered this cellar early in the morning, but she never dared to announce it, and kept it in preparation for a long time ago, but she did not expect it to be used.

Meng shi hung the white silk that had been prepared on the beam of the house, stood up numbly, kicked the stool away without hesitation, and with a bang, Meng shi closed her eyes tightly.

The fire quickly attracted attention, and the flames almost crossed the princess mansion next door. Princess Xinyang hurried out wearing clothes, and felt a wave of heat rushing towards her face as soon as she came out.

"Mother, why did the good-looking Prince Qin's Mansion catch fire, and it's still so big?"

Lu Ning was also disturbed and came out, Princess Xinyang shook her head, "Mother doesn't know, you guys go fetch water and wait, don't rush to the princess mansion, it's very easy to catch fire when the weather is dry."

"Yes!"

The servants and guards in the princess mansion hurriedly got to work, fearing that innocent people would be harmed, the flames from the next door rushed over.

Soon the sky brightened, and many guards went to the next door to put out the fire, but the fire was so intense that it couldn't be controlled for a while, and almost burned more than half of the palace, and the burning has not stopped yet.

Only the second bedroom and Princess Qin's courtyard were separated by a flower pond, so they did not suffer any disasters, but the entire east courtyard was burned down, and the raging fire continued to burn.

Many people pointed their fingers at the fire in Prince Qin's mansion, it was too strange.

Standing on the city wall, Emperor Yusheng could see thick smoke billowing and burning, and a burst of flames shone, squinting his eyes and asking.

"Why is it on fire? How about the Princess Mansion?"

"Returning to the emperor, the princess mansion has not been affected, palm oil has been splashed on several wells in the mansion, the second master of the Lu family has committed suicide by taking poison, the second wife Meng hanged herself, and Qin Princess Lu also died of poison. Prince Qin is seriously injured, and the imperial doctor said that he will die soon." The guards said [-].

"What about the elder?" Lu Linen couldn't help asking.

"My lord was also injured, but it's not a serious problem." The guard replied.

Emperor Yusheng squinted at Lu Linen, "Lin En, what do you want to say?"

Lu Linen was silent for a while, "I want to go and see for myself. This matter is a bit strange. If it is poisoned and hanged, why bother to light the fire."

To put it bluntly, Lu Linen was not worried about Lu Shengyuan at all, "I want my mother and Ning'er to live in the palace for a while, Prince Qin's mansion is too close to the Princess' mansion, and I am afraid that my mother and Ning'er will get hurt."

Emperor Yusheng nodded without hesitation, "This is the best, and I can rest assured."

"My son is leaving." Lu Linen hurriedly left after speaking, leaving only a trace of his back as he left quickly.
