Chapter 2653: Accuse Lu Yuanfan of Rebellion
While Ning Shu was wandering, she encountered the new madam. The new madam saw Ning Shu and said, “Stay in your own courtyard and don’t wander around causing trouble.”
Ning Shu immediately bowed and greeted her, then said that she would head back. As she looked up, she noticed the worry between the new madam’s eyebrows.
She had just married over and she was already encountering such a situation.
Ning Shu obediently turned and left.
She didn’t know what the situation was like in the palace currently, but they were probably going to accuse Lu Yuanfan of rebellion. She wondered who reported it?
Most likely someone from the general’s residence.
How long would this cycle of hurting each other continue?
As soon as Ning Shu returned to her room, the new madam’s maid came to call her to go to the main hall.
Not only did Ning Shu go, but all the concubines and daughters of the household also went.
A man dressed in armor coldly said, “By the decree of His Majesty, we are going to search the entire Lu residence. You all must stay here and not leave.”
“May I ask what crime our Lu family has committed?” the madam asked.
The man ignored her and directly ordered his subordinates, “Leave no place unchecked.”
Ning Shu squeezed the hand of Mistress Liu next to her. Mistress Liu’s hand was cold and trembling.
Her face was pale, and there was an indescribable panic in her expression.
Mistress Liu was originally a woman from a small place and rarely went out after becoming a concubine. It was normal for her to react this way.
She survived solely by relying on Lu Yuanfan and so was more worried about his safety than anyone else.
The guards were searching everywhere in the Lu residence, smas.h.i.+ng porcelain and while at it, pocketing some valuable trinkets.
In no time, the Lu residence was a complete mess.
The room was silent, and every minute felt unbearable.
Ning Shu tightly held Mistress Liu’s hand, leaning against her from behind to prevent her from collapsing to the ground.
“Captain, we haven’t found anything suspicious,” a guard walked in, bowing respectfully.
The captain furrowed his brows. “Have you searched carefully? Leave no place unchecked.”
“We’ve searched everywhere,” the guard replied.
The captain glanced at the people in the room, then left the main hall and said to the guard, “Have you checked the ancestral hall?”
“We have, we went straight to the ancestral hall first.”
“We’ve searched everywhere and found nothing. Captain, what should we do now?”
The captain gritted his teeth. “Keep searching.”
“But the palace is waiting for our response.”
“Yes, but it’s too late to do anything now.” Embroidering a dragon robe was not something that could be done in a day or two.
And it couldn’t be made in a rush either.
“Keep searching, give it another hour,” the captain said.
Ning Shu saw that the search would probably still take some time, so she urged Mistress Liu to hurry and sit down.
Their efficiency was really too low.
Ning Shu leisurely drank several cups of tea. In the end, they still didn’t find anything and had no choice but to send a report back to the palace.
In the palace hall, Lu Yuanfan knelt on the ground, and Lu Junning, despite being a woman, was also present.
Cold sweat dripped from Lu Yuanfan’s forehead, falling one by one onto the smooth black floor tiles.
From the corner of his eye, he was looking at Lu Junning with loathing.
This daughter of his colluded with people from the general’s residence, accusing him of embezzling military funds, h.o.a.rding weapons, and planning a rebellion.
They even found witnesses to prove his involvement in buying and selling official positions.
Lu Yuanfan was afraid that his accounts book would appear as evidence here.
Cold sweat flowed into his eyes, stinging them, but Lu Yuanfan didn’t dare to wipe it away.
The emperor on the throne above stared at him with eyes as sharp as a steel blade.
Lu Yuanfan didn’t even know if he could leave this hall smoothly today.
