Xiao Chengyi continued: "I heard from my uncle that it was Lu Guogong's idea that he kept a low profile back then. Without his advice, my uncle might not have been able to win the throne.
And he was a smart man. After his uncle secured the throne, he proposed to retire. In gratitude for his cultivation, his uncle made him the Duke of the country, and the title was hereditary.
After he retired, he stopped taking part in court affairs and only occasionally went to the palace to drink tea and play chess with his uncle.
When my uncle ascended the throne, he was surrounded by three heroes. Duke Lu was one of them, and the other was Zhou Bowen, the great general of the dynasty. He guarded the northern border and was as famous as his father-in-law. The two fought countless battles on the battlefield.
And the one you sent to Dali Temple today is the daughter of General Zhou, but she is a concubine. Fortunately, General Zhou is not in the capital this time, otherwise it will be even more difficult for my uncle."
Mu Yun'an was stunned for a moment, then realized: "No wonder they are so arrogant, it turns out that all the heroes in the family are outstanding."
After a pause, she said again: "Did I get you into trouble again?"
She couldn't stand the behavior of those people, so she arrested them all, but she didn't expect that there were so many involvements behind them.
Xiao Chengyi held her hand and said with a serious look: "You did the right thing. It's time to clean up these remaining shortcomings."
Chu Lianyi is an official lady, Lu Ronger and others dare to bully her, but what about those powerless people?
If because of Lu Ronger's identity, he lets her go and lets her do evil, then how can there be justice in this world?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of drums in the distance.
Mu Yunan followed the sound and asked curiously: "What is this sound?"
Xiao Chengyi said in a deep voice: "It's a drumbeat of injustice."
Mu Yun'an frowned: "What is that?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "There is a grievance drum in front of the palace. If someone has a grievance and has nowhere to complain, he can go there to beat the drum and complain, and the sky will hear it, and His Majesty will personally hear the case."
As he said that, he raised his eyes and sneered: "If I guess correctly, Duke Lu is going to sue me for imperial edict."
Mu Yun'an was startled, and she felt a little annoyed. She stamped her feet and said, "This old man is so disgusting. He dares to file a complaint. Does he think that His Majesty respects him and he is lawless?"
Xiao Chengyi touched her head and said: "Don't be angry, since he is seeking death, I will help him."
Mu Yun'an raised his head and looked at him: "But this will embarrass your uncle. One side is his mentor and the other side is his nephew. It's not good for anyone."
When Duke Lu brought this matter to the imperial court, he did not consider it for His Majesty. He wanted to test His Majesty to see if his status in Your Majesty's heart was not as important as that of Xiao Chengyi?
Where does he get the confidence? Just because his son is His Majesty's savior? Or maybe he has been at the top of power for too long and he has become complacent.
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "I also want to know what uncle will do? Let's go shopping."
Mu Yun'an's eyes widened: "This is already the case, why are you still going shopping?"
Xiao Chengyi shrugged and said, "It's not like the sky will let you sleep, so what are you worried about?"
With that said, she took Mu Yun'an's hand and went shopping.
But Jiang Ru was not in the mood. She couldn't bear to worry and said to Qingcheng: "The Duke of Lu is not a good person. I'd better go and inform Xiu Chen and my brother."
Qingcheng said: "Let's go together."
She wasn't in the mood to go shopping anymore, so she took Su Luo back to Shen's Mansion to spread the news.
