Box after box of gold, silver and jewelry were dug out from the ground and filled up cart after cart.

Yin Yuan, who couldn't stop laughing, and Yu Changle, who was laughing so hard that her whole body was tumbling, personally escorted the car, humming a little tune as they leisurely returned to Jiuqu Garden.

The Bai family’s wedding was a mess.

A number of great sages and court officials were filled with resentment about this, but surprisingly, this time the city of Haojing was peaceful and quiet, with no one accusing the "eunuch party" of "persecuting ministers" or "harming the country and the people".

Li Erya was taken away by Lu Yi.

Li Erya's biological father, Li Zi, has been spreading the word throughout the capital that his son is law-abiding and will never have anything to do with the Nine Yin Sect. As subjects of Dayin, the Li family and Li Erya will fully cooperate with the investigation of the Guardian of the Palace.

Li Zi even took the initiative to hand in a written document to the imperial palace, declaring that he also wanted to avoid suspicion during the three months when his son was under investigation, so he asked the empress dowager for a three-month leave. The entire Li family stayed indoors to prove their innocence with practical actions.

Li Zi lay flat.

The Li family was completely defeated.

The parties involved all acted in this way, and the matter involved the Nine Yin Sect, and a Luozhou Mu had already died because of this matter. The disciples of the Wenjiao Sect, who were usually very good at talking, no longer had the energy to stir up trouble in this matter.

That night.

The weather was very good, the dark clouds had dispersed and a bright moon was shining high in the sky.

The guards in Gaojing city were on high alert, and in the markets everywhere, all kinds of colorful lanterns lit up the sky and the earth.

Many wealthy families even hired skilled craftsmen to make huge and exquisite lanterns, which they pulled up into the sky with ropes.

There are floating lanterns, mythical beasts like dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, rare flowers and trees like peonies, lotus flowers, wintersweets, and even rockery, big trees, legendary mythological figures, etc., all in various shapes and sizes.

For a time, the sky and the ground of Gaojing City were full of twinkling lights. In every market, there were the noisy laughter and noise of people watching and lighting lanterns. The huge Gaojing was truly a time of peace and prosperity, with endless romance.

The backyard of the Bai family, Xiulou.

Bai Lu, wearing a bright red wedding gown and with disheveled hair, stood in front of a huge desk, writing Lu Yi's name on a large white paper with a brush.

Every time she wrote "Lu Yi", Bai Lu would draw a big cross on the name.

The brush broke through the wind, making a 'whooshing' sound, which showed how hard Bai Lu was writing, and how much she hated Lu Yi!

Li Erya was arrested.

She was ordered by Lu Yizhong to be under house arrest for three months and was not allowed to go out.

The front and back doors of the Bai family were now guarded by palace guards, who were watching them day and night.

Three months!

Three months!

Three months later, Bai Lu's belly could no longer be covered.

Three months later, when Li Erya was released by Lu Yi, he saw Bai Lu's bulging belly...

What if Li Zi is a waste?

At that time, the entire Li family will fight to the death with the Bai family, right?

"Lu Yi... why can't you just die quietly?" Bai Lu was so angry that her eyes turned red, her mind was confused, and she yelled and cursed almost hysterically.

There were soft footsteps. Zhu Yu, whose face was distorted and looked a little more ferocious, opened the door and walked in, holding a small bowl.

A few days ago, Zhu Yu was slapped by Lu Yi and half of his front teeth were knocked out. Even though he used countless good medicines to treat the disease, the broken teeth could not grow out.

Zhu Yu had no choice but to find a skilled craftsman to inlay half of his teeth with jade dentures.

The craftsman's craftsmanship was superb. After the dentures were installed, they functioned just as before, and there was no difference in eating and talking. However, the newly installed dentures were still in the running-in period, so Zhu Yu's left facial muscles were a little twisted.

"Weishuang, come, drink it." Zhu Yu walked to Bai Lu and handed her the small bowl.

"What is this?" Bai Lu looked at the blood-red liquid in the small bowl with a pungent aroma.

"Drink it." Zhu Yu stuffed the small bowl into Bai Lu's hand and said calmly, "Just now, my father and the others have made a plan. There will be no changes to our affairs. The marriage between the Zhu and Bai families is in the future interests of our two families."

"But, that little dog Lu Yi was ruthless and shameless. For the sake of the reputation of our two families, especially the reputation of my Zhu family, which cannot have any blemishes, this child cannot be kept."

Bai Lu's face turned pale instantly. She did not take the small bowl from Zhu Yu's hand. She stepped back in horror and bumped her body onto the desk, causing the pen holder on the desk to fall over with a bang, and dozens of excellent brushes fell to the ground.

"Prince, no, no, this is our child, this is our child!" Bai Lu looked at Zhu Yu in disbelief: "How could this happen? How could this be? Our child, how, how..."

"It has come to this, so this is the only option." Zhu Yu held the small bowl and approached Bai Lu step by step: "Abort the child while he is still young, and it will cause less damage to your body. If you wait a while, it will be risky if he is not yet full-grown."

"Weishhuang, don't worry. No matter what, you are my wife. As long as we pass this test... as long as Li Erya is released in three months, everything will be done according to our agreement. I will never let you down!"

"As for Lu Yu, my father has already promised to deal with him. He will definitely not die a good death, and he will definitely die without a burial place."
"As long as he dies, all the dark clouds in the sky will disperse."

Zhu Yu smiled at Bai Lu and said, "When Li Erya dies, you and I can live together and become a pair of mandarin ducks embracing each other."

"No!" Bai Lu gritted her teeth and stared at Zhu Yu: "I want this child, I can't live without him, this is your child and mine... our first child!"

"I won't drink this medicine."

"Prince, instead of aborting our child, why not do it today and let Lu Yi die tonight."

"As long as Lu Yi dies!"

Bai Lu's eyes were bloodshot, and she stared at Zhu Yu intently: "As long as Lu Yi dies!"

Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and stared at Bai Lu fiercely: "Lu Yi just arrested someone during the day, and died at night. Do you think this can be hidden from anyone? Even if we smash Lu Yi to pieces tonight, Li Erya will never be released!"

"You and Li Erya haven't had sex yet, and he's been imprisoned by the palace guards. Do you want your big belly to be seen by everyone in the world?"

Zhu Yu thrust the small bowl fiercely in front of Bai Lu and said, "Drink! This is what my father meant, and it is also what your grandfather, your father, and your uncles all meant."

"The Bai family's reputation cannot be damaged, and the Zhu family's reputation cannot have the slightest blemish!"

"Drink it!"

Zhu Yu's face twisted, and he shouted, "Don't make me say it again!"

Bai Lu gritted her teeth and shook her head desperately.

The Zhu Yu in front of him was no longer as flawless as a priceless jade disk. At this moment, his face was distorted and his expression was ferocious, just like the legendary evil spirit.

So strange!

It seemed like for the first time, Bai Lu truly saw Zhu Yu's true face.

Zhu Yu grabbed Bai Lu's chin, exerted a little force with his fingers, and there was a sharp pain. With a "crack", Bai Lu's jaw was twisted and dislocated. He pushed forward with his right hand, and the bowl of medicine was poured into Bai Lu's mouth without leaving a drop.

Zhu Yu casually threw the small bowl on the ground, and his hands were as fast as the wind. He slapped Bai Lu's neck and chest. Bai Lu had no time to spit out the medicine. The medicine with a pungent fragrance rolled down like a stream of fire.

Zhu Yu grabbed Bai Lu's chin and pushed gently to put the dislocated jaw back into place. Then he tapped Bai Lu's heart with a finger. Bai Lu felt numb all over, her legs became weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Yu picked up Bai Lu and placed her on the soft couch beside him. Then he gently touched her forehead and showed his usual perfect, impeccable smile.

"Weishhuang, you are a smart and well-behaved woman. You should know that not having this child is the best way for us to deal with it now. We cannot take any risks, and the reputation of our two families cannot have any flaws."

"Don't worry, even if you lose this child, you still have me. As long as I'm here, you can have as many children as you want in the future."

Zhu Yu smiled charmingly. He pinched Bai Lu's nose intimately and said quietly, "It will be painful later. Just bear with it. I will ask your cousin Bai Shuang to come up and help you wipe your body. You can trust your family members more. It is not good to let the maids and servants do this kind of thing."

Bai Lu widened her eyes and stared at Zhu Yu.

Her eyes were wide open and very round, with most of their pupils almost bulging out. Next to the black pupils, there was a large circle of white that reflected a pale, dim light under the light.

Zhu Yu felt uncomfortable under Bai Lu's terrifying gaze.

He was silent for a while, then turned and left: "I'm going to find Bai Shuang. If you have a stomachache, just bear with it!"

"You have to be patient. The place opposite is where Lu Xiaogou lives. If you make any noise and someone hears you... it will be bad for your Bai family's reputation if it gets out."

The effect of the medicine gradually took effect.

A horrible, sharp pain came over me, as if countless knives were stirring around in my stomach.

Bai Lu was twitching in pain, all her muscles were twitching, and the indescribable pain made her open her mouth and want to scream, but Zhu Yu's method made it impossible for her to move, let alone make any sound.

Waves of severe pain came over her, and blood gradually flowed out of Bai Lu's body. The sky blue brocade couch under her was stained with blood.

In the severe pain, Bai Lu suddenly realized that this medicine was too strong and she might die from the pain!

A silver bell-like beautiful laughter sounded: "Hey, woman, now you know how hateful those men are, right?"

"Women, being a woman is fine, but once you provoke a man, it's fine if you die, but I'm afraid that your entire clan will be implicated, and you will die with regrets in the end."

Cold air swirled in the room, the lights flickered, and a terrifying evil force enveloped Bai Lu.

Bai Lu suddenly let out a shrill roar: "Who are you?"

"Who am I? I am just... a ghost that is unwilling to close its eyes after death... I am just a ghost that is chasing after souls and taking lives... I am just... just... a sinner who will never be able to be reborn."

"You, want revenge?"

"Revenge those men who wronged you, bullied you, humiliated you, and trampled on you?"

Bai Lu's eyes turned blood red.

"want!"
