My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 248 The Richest Man's Daughter
Everyone says that the sons of the Lu family are all upright gentlemen and handsome young men, but little do they know that in secret they are all hypocrites.

The old man, Lu Yuan, is in love with his younger sister and is dissatisfied with his fiancée for her sake. He appears to be a gentleman, but is actually a very selfish person.

The second son, Lu Cheng, also had a fiancée, but he frequented brothels and even kept a courtesan as his mistress.

The third brother, Lu Ting, although he had no fiancée, was entangled with his sister, had a mistress, and had a son, and also had a hobby: gambling.

Chunniang was the most sought-after courtesan at Wanhualou, a brothel owned by Lu Cheng.

"Chunniang greets you, young lady." Chunniang curtsied.

Lu Yaoyao picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Spring Maiden, rise gently! Do you know why I summoned you here?"

Chunniang stood up and shook her head, her eyes full of confusion. "I don't know! Please enlighten me, young lady."

Lu Yaoyao put down her teacup. "I know you are the courtesan Lu Cheng keeps, and you are also the daughter of the richest family in Jiangnan, the Wang family. Because of the Lu family, your entire family was executed. In fact, you approached Lu Cheng to seek revenge. Am I right?"

The current emperor has two brothers, Prince Jing and Prince Qi.

On the surface, the Lu family is loyal to the current emperor, but in secret they are getting close to Prince Qi.

Because the current emperor has been childless for many years, the ministers in the court have long been dissatisfied, and because of the current emperor's iron-fisted rule, they dare not openly take sides.

Secretly, many ministers began to align themselves with Prince Jing and Prince Qi.

The current emperor has no children, so after his death, he will surely choose one of his brothers as his heir.

The Wang family, the richest family in Jiangnan, was originally a merchant family, living a wealthy, peaceful, and happy life.

Because King Qi wanted to seize the throne, he needed his own power base. Without money, where would he get his power?
Lu Jingnian set his sights on the Wang family, the richest family in Jiangnan. In order to curry favor with Prince Qi, he massacred the entire Wang family.

Miss Wang Chunhua of the Wang family escaped a disaster because she went to a temple to pray for blessings and offer incense.

Wang Chunhua, using the alias Chunniang, arrived in the capital and became the top courtesan at the Wanhua Brothel, hoping to find an opportunity to avenge her family.

Her first step was to get close to Lu Cheng.

Chunniang remained calm. It was only a matter of time before her identity was discovered, but she didn't expect it to be known so quickly.

She didn't hide anything, "What you said is true! I know you're not having a good time in the Lu family. Are you really going to tell them my secret identity for the sake of such a family?"

Since she was determined to take revenge on the Lu family, she had investigated many things thoroughly. She knew that Lu Yaoyao was not well-liked in the Lu family.

Should she really expose her identity for the sake of such a heartless family?
Lu Yaoyao smiled. "You just said that they treat me badly, so why should I tell them your identity?"

"I've come to you this time to make a deal. I know you've investigated a lot about the Lu family and have evidence of their murder of your entire family. You don't have a chance to see the Emperor, but I do. I'll help you redeem yourself and take you to see the Emperor so I can personally present the Lu family's crimes to him. How about that?"

This was a win-win deal. She was a courtesan who had no chance to see the emperor and dared not easily hand over the evidence to the other officials.

She is the only one who can help her in the fastest way.

Chunniang simply didn't believe that a neglected daughter of the Lu family could possibly meet the Emperor. "Miss, I don't know what gives you the confidence to meet the Emperor. Thank you for helping me conceal my identity, but I will take my own revenge. Farewell!"

There is no use in talking more.

Her quest for revenge was fraught with peril, a mission fraught with near-death experiences.

She didn't want to implicate others.

The young lady who was just found in the Lu family is kind-hearted; hopefully she can leave the Lu family soon.

"Don't go yet! After you read this, you'll know whether I can help you or not."

Lu Yaoyao took out a gold medal with a dragon pattern and threw it on the table.

This is a gold plaque with a dragon design representing the status of the retired emperor; there is only one in the entire Great Yan Kingdom.

Even the current emperor would have to kneel and kowtow upon seeing this gold plaque with dragon patterns.

"This, this is a gold medal with a dragon design?"

The dragon-patterned gold plaque is the identity token of the current retired emperor. The current emperor once proclaimed the design of the token to the world, and anyone who saw this dragon-patterned gold plaque was as if the emperor himself were present. The Wang family is the richest family in Jiangnan, and she is the daughter of the Wang family. She has seen the design of this token before.

It's exactly the same as this token.

"That's right! This was handed to me by the Emperor Emeritus, who is also my adoptive father. Now do you believe what I'm saying?"

Lu Yaoyao had never revealed her identity before, for fear that she would have no way out.

Fortunately, she wasn't stupid; she only used money to subsidize the Lu family and didn't hand over the tokens and influence she held.

Chunniang was shocked and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Please, young lady, save me!"

There is finally hope of avenging her entire family.

It's been almost eight years; she's been collecting evidence for eight whole years, and finally, she sees a glimmer of hope.

"Get up! I will take you to see the Emperor tomorrow."

Lu Yaoyao helped her up, deciding to take her to see the emperor as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Great!" Chunniang cried tears of joy.

Lu Yaoyao asked Granny Niu to arrange for her to stay in a guest room in case anything unexpected happened.

Chunniang also told Lu Yaoyao where the evidence was hidden, and An Yi went to retrieve it.

"What a beast!"

After reviewing the evidence, Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but scold Lu Jingnian.

Lu Jingnian followed the Prince of Qi and did many despicable things; killing him eight hundred times wouldn't be enough.

Dijiang was peeling grapes for her. In his hands, the grapes were quickly turned into grape flesh, which looked even more translucent in the small dish.

His deep eyes were full of laughter. "Why get so angry? Since he did those things, let him pay the price. His Majesty will surely give those people justice."

Over the years, he had been stationed on the frontier and knew little about what was happening in the capital, but there was one case that was related to the Prince of Qi.

After returning to the capital, he investigated and found that the matter was also related to the Lu family.

Before he could find any more evidence of the Lu family's crimes, someone else delivered evidence of the Lu family's crimes to his doorstep.

With this evidence, neither the Lu family nor the Prince of Qi can escape.

Lu Yaoyao ate grapes with a satisfied look on her face. "The wicked must be dealt with. In addition, Lu Jingnian also kept the daughter of a traitor as his mistress and had a child with her. All these crimes combined are enough to destroy the entire Lu family."

She wanted to uproot the entire Lu family; only then could Lu Yaoyao's inner conflict be completely resolved.

Dijiang chuckled and picked her up. "Don't think about anything else now. Feeding me is the most important thing! Yaoyao, take me to your territory."

Lu Yaoyao wrapped her arms around his neck. "Okay! I'll grant your wish right now."

The two entered the space.

The room was filled with disheveled clothes, the bed curtains were swaying, and shadows were overlapping.

The next day.

Lu Yaoyao had just woken up when she gasped in pain.

Even though Dijiang has become a mortal, his physical strength is still so good that she couldn't get out of bed for several days.

I took a bath in the spiritual spring pool, and the pain in my body was relieved.

Di Jiang has already left. Lu Yaoyao is going to the palace today, so he needs to go to the palace in advance to make arrangements so that Yaoyao won't encounter any rude people when she arrives.
