1734 Secret Plan 2
“But it was the Second Lady of the Gu Family who broke off the engagement later! No respectable girl would dare to marry someone like him! And now, the Elder Miss has become the Queen. How dare they be here, trying to share in our blessings? Shame on them!” A voice in the crowd pointed at them, spewing out bitter curses.
The shouts multiplied, and discussions about the disgraceful actions of Duke Changning’s Mansion spread through the crowd like wildfire.
Soon, anger erupted. People began shouting at Duke Changning and his family, and objects were hurled in their direction.
Duke Changning and his family were defenseless against the onslaught. They were punched and battered, acquiring numerous bruises as they struggled to escape the chaos.
By the time they managed to break free from the crowd, they were in a state of disarray.
They were powerless against the people on the street until they reached the safety of Duke Changning’s Mansion.
It wasn’t until they were back within the confines of their home that they dared to unleash their frustrations.
The housekeeper, equally disheveled, had managed to find one servant to a.s.sist them. He exclaimed, “Duke Changning, Madame Duke Changning, and Young Master, I told you so! I wasn’t lying!”
The housekeeper was in disarray himself, for he had remained by their side throughout the ordeal.
However…
A sense of satisfaction enveloped him.
This family had once mistreated the Phoenix Girl and now disrespected her. It was only fitting that they faced consequences for their actions.
Those who committed wrongs deserved to be held accountable.
Lu Jiming felt a surge of dissatisfaction, but he realized there was nothing he could do. It was the harsh reality they now faced.
Adjusting his clothes, Lu Jiming prepared to leave.
However, Duke Changning halted him. “Where do you think you’re going?!”
Duke Changning’s Mansion still stood, but they couldn’t afford to further offend the people. They needed to avoid trouble at all costs.
“I am going to confront that wretched Gu Ruxue. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be in this situation!” Lu Jiming snapped, seething with anger.
The engagement had been broken, and Gu Chaoyan had become the Queen. There was no salvaging the situation.
But his discontent and frustration gnawed at him.
He needed to confront that wretched Gu Ruxue!
“Get back here!” Duke Changning shouted at him. “What do you think you’re doing?! Picking a fight with Gu Ruxue? She is Gu Chaoyan’s sister! She is part of the imperial family! Even if Gu Chaoyan wanted her gone, we would never involve ourselves with the imperial family!”
” “…”
“We can’t afford to offend anyone. Stop making trouble. Stay alive and live peacefully!”
” “…”
“Gu Chaoyan is the Queen and she can get us killed like she kills an ant!”
” “…”
“We must move out of the capital. We must go to some other place!”
” “…”
“Duke Changning’s Mansion will again be the topic of rumor. The grudge that is forgotten is going to emerge again! We will not have any peaceful life again!”
” “…”
“Listen to me! Get ready and p.a.w.n all we have. Bring what we can and we are moving out of this place. Find one wife by the New Year. That is it!”
Having said that, Duke Changning found that a great solution.
“I am not leaving the capital!”
