Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 257 Zhu Yunwen: Go tell your grandfather about the evil deeds of Lady Lü!

In the palace of Lady Lü!

"Miss."

"Oh no."

“Sister Lü Dong…she, she…”

A palace maid rushed in, knelt before Lady Lü, and stammered.

"What's wrong with Lü Dong?" Madam Lü frowned and asked with some displeasure.

Inside this Eastern Palace.

This is the place she's in charge of, so how could anything happen?

"She...she was beaten to death by Zhu Yunwen's men," the palace maid said, kneeling on the ground, her voice trembling.

Hear this.

Madam Lü's expression changed, and she suddenly stood up: "What did you say?"

"Miss."

"You...you should go out and take a look," the palace maid said nervously, not daring to say anything more.

Hear this!

A sense of unease welled up in Lady Lü's heart. She slowly walked towards the outside of the palace. When she saw the scene outside, Lady Lü's face turned deathly pale.

"Dong'er."

Lady Lü rushed to Lü Dong's unrecognizable, blood-soaked corpse, her heart filled with anxiety.

Once it was confirmed that Lü Dong was no longer alive.

"What...what's going on?"

"Who did it?"

Lady Lü raised her head, turned to the palace maids and eunuchs around her, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes... it is Young Master Zhu Yunwen."

"He...he ordered his guards to beat Lü Dong to death with clubs," a eunuch responsible for bringing the body said, his head bowed and his voice trembling.

"Zhu Yunxun?"

Hearing this, Lady Lü looked suspicious and even more incredulous: "How dare he lay a hand on my personal maid?"

after all.

Lady Lü knew Zhu Yunwen's personality perfectly well; she knew he wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

"Miss."

“It really is…it really is Young Master Yunwen.”

"He...he said that Miss Lü Dong did not bow to the young master and even attempted to attack him. According to palace rules, she should be beaten to death with sticks."

"And...and the young master also said that if Her Majesty...her Majesty is dissatisfied, she can go to his palace to find him." The eunuch lowered his head and reported in a trembling voice.

Under such circumstances, how could he dare not report the truth?

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's current ferocity, and with Lady Lü involved, this eunuch dared not offend either side.

"Is it really him?"

Lady Lü's eyes widened, filled with shock and a hint of resentment.

"Yes," the eunuch confirmed again.

Lady Lü glanced at the expressions of the eunuchs and palace maids around her and naturally understood that this was indeed the work of Zhu Yunwen.

"Zhu Yuntong".

"He actually dared to kill Dong'er."

"He's asking for it."

Lady Lü was filled with resentment and hatred, wishing she could tear Zhu Yunwen to pieces.

"Walk."

Lu's voice was incredibly cold.

Then they headed directly towards Zhu Yunwen's palace.

this moment.

Lady Lü had only one thought in her mind: to settle accounts with Zhu Yunwen.

His eyes turned.

In Zhu Yunwen's palace.

"Son."

"You're back."

Yunyu was overjoyed to see Zhu Yunyu return.

"Has anyone in the palace been bullying you during this time?"

Upon returning, Zhu Yunyu looked at Yunyu with great concern and asked her questions.

"No," Yunyu nodded and replied with a smile.

After all, this lovemaking was a key factor for Lady Lü in controlling Zhu Yunwen, so why would she lay a hand on her?

"That's good." Zhu Yunwen nodded in relief.

"Young master, you seem to have changed."

Yunyu stared at Zhu Yunyu, looked him up and down, and then said thoughtfully.

Hear this.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Perhaps! The old me is dead, the new me is reborn, and there is bound to be change."

"It seems that you have learned a lot at the Duke of Liang's residence these past few days," Yunyu said excitedly.

As a palace maid who had been by Zhu Yunwen's side for so many years, how could she not feel how much Zhu Yunwen had changed?

However, her temperament has changed drastically.

I've gained confidence.

The humility I felt before is gone.

At this moment!

"Zhu Yunwen, come out here for me."

Lady Lü's cold and piercing voice came from outside the hall.

"Empress Lü?"

"Young master, didn't you go to pay your respects to her?" Yunyu's expression changed, and she immediately asked with concern.

"Does a concubine deserve my respect?" Zhu Yunwen sneered, completely disregarding Lady Lü.

Now that he has twenty guards given to him by his maternal great-uncle, dealing with the palace maids and eunuchs around Lady Lü will be a piece of cake.

Although Lady Lü was in charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace, she did not have the power to mobilize the Imperial Guards.

Yunyu was stunned when she heard Zhu Yunwen's words.

She never expected that Zhu Yunwen would say such a thing.
I never expected this!

For a moment, I was stunned.

"Alright, Sister Yunyu."

"You stay in the palace for a while, I'll go and deal with this wretched woman," Zhu Yunwen chuckled, reassuring Yunyu.

Then he turned around and walked straight out of the hall.

Outside the hall.

Lady Lü had a cold expression, with more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs standing behind her.

In the past, Zhu Yunwen would have been trembling with fear at the sight of such a scene, and would not have dared to have any thoughts. But now, Zhu Yunwen looked at the scene calmly, and even wanted to laugh.

After Zhu Yunwen came out.

Lady Lü's resentful gaze fell directly on him.

"You are so brave."

"How dare you kill my personal maid?" Lady Lü said coldly, her voice full of accusation.

"For her insubordination, I'm already being lenient by not executing her by slow slicing. What, does Madam Lü intend to protect such an insolent servant?" Zhu Yunwen replied calmly to Madam Lü.

"How dare you contradict me?"

"Okay, okay, okay."

"It seems you've really been corrupted these past few days at Lan Yu's residence."

"How could he not know about etiquette and hierarchy?" Lady Lü said angrily, angered by Zhu Yunwen's words.

"Does Madam Lü know about etiquette and hierarchy?" Zhu Yunwen laughed upon hearing this.

"Zhu Yuntong".

"Don't forget."

“I am your foster mother, and you are under my jurisdiction.” Lady Lü directly invoked the title of foster mother.

"The Lü family."

"Then today."

"Let me tell you something."

"A legitimate son will not have an adoptive mother."

"This is the rule in the palace. As a concubine, you are not qualified to adopt a legitimate son."

"Although my father did speak up back then, it was only because I was young that he asked you to take care of me."

"But what have you done all these years? Should I go and have a good talk with my father?" Zhu Yunwen sneered and said coldly.

really.

After hearing Zhu Yunwen's words.

Lady Lü's expression changed drastically in an instant. Just from the fact that Zhu Yunwen had said such things, it proved one thing: Zhu Yunwen was no longer someone she could control.

"You servants have come before my palace, and you still don't bow?" Zhu Yunwen glanced at the eunuchs and maids behind Lady Lü and coldly shouted.

He exuded the majesty of a legitimate son.

Hear this.

The faces of the eunuchs and palace maids all changed, and they all turned their gazes toward Lady Lü.

But Ms. Lü did not respond.

"Li Li," Zhu Yunwen called out directly.

"What should be done if a servant does not bow to the young master?" Zhu Yunwen asked coldly.

“The lightest punishment is caning, the heaviest is beating to death,” Li Li replied immediately.

"If these servants don't kneel before me, what are they waiting for?" Zhu Yunwen sneered.

Followed.

The guards around the palace immediately sprang into action, brandishing sticks and heading towards the servants behind Lady Lü.

this moment.

These servants are not afraid of anything.

They all knelt down.

"Meet the young master."

More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids all knelt down and shouted, not daring to raise their heads.

For them.

Having learned from Lü Dong's example, they were all aware of Zhu Yunwen's methods, and the fierce-looking guards around them made it clear that he was not someone to be trifled with.

When Lady Lü saw this, she was so angry that she trembled all over.

But she had no other options.

because.

What Zhu Yunwen said was exactly what was in the palace.

No matter what, Zhu Yunwen was still the legitimate son.

"The Lü family."

"How about it?"

"How does it feel? Do you wish you could kill me?"

Seeing Lady Lü trembling with anger, Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily and even made provocative remarks.

just now.

What truly made Lady Lü so flustered and enraged, yet she seemed utterly helpless, reminded Zhu Yunwen of his maternal great-uncle's words: "As long as you are not afraid, no one in the Eastern Palace can do anything to you."

Lady Lü only became so arrogant and overbearing because she saw his weakness.

If he were not weak, the Lü family would have no way to deal with him.

"The Lü family."

"I will settle the score with you over the years."

"besides."

"When Father returns, I will tell him what you have done to me all these years. And tomorrow I will go to see my grandfather and have a good talk about these things."

"You, just you wait," Zhu Yunwen said with a cold laugh, no longer afraid of the Lü family, and stated directly.

Upon hearing this...

Lady Lü could no longer stand; her face changed drastically, and her heart pounded wildly.

Obviously.

After being enlightened by Lan Yu, Zhu Yunwen finally understood how foolish and insignificant he had been before.

If only he had been a little bolder, he could have spoken to his father, and even if his father didn't believe him, he could have spoken to his grandfather.

As the legitimate son.

That is naturally different from others.

Even without evidence, my grandfather would eventually take me away and send people to protect me.

But it was because of his cowardice that he suffered for so many years in vain.

And now.

Zhu Yunwen was no longer afraid, so why would he tolerate the Lü family?
He wanted to make Lady Lü pay the price, at least to shatter her dream of becoming the Crown Princess, and to make his father and grandfather truly realize the viciousness of this woman.

Anyway.

With his older brother coming back soon, Zhu Yunwen was truly fearless. The thought of having his older brother backing him up, just like when he was a child, made Zhu Yunwen exceptionally bold.

My elder brother has returned!

This is why Zhu Yunwen was able to face, and even confront, Lady Lü with equanimity.

Under such threats from Zhu Yunwen.

Lady Lü could no longer stand still. She had been filled with resentment and wanted to confront Zhu Yunwen, but now she was flustered and said, "Zhu Yunwen, Lü Dong was wrong today. He was disobedient and deserved to die."

"But that's about it."

“Not only Lü Dong, but also all the palace maids who accompanied him can be executed.”

"Is this enough?"

This time, Lady Lü's words already constituted a concession.

At this moment, her accusatory arrogance had completely vanished, leaving only her fear and worry for Zhu Yunwen. She was genuinely afraid that Zhu Yunwen would expose everything to Zhu Biao or even Zhu Yuanzhang.

after all.

These things really can't stand up to scrutiny.

The incident at Wenyuan Pavilion had already resulted in the punishment of many palace maids and eunuchs, and had also greatly affected Lady Lü. If Zhu Yunwen were to recklessly expose this now, it would truly be a major disaster.

"That's it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen laughed—a mocking, cold laugh.

"The Lü family, the Lü family."

"You have times when you're afraid, too."

"It seems."

"I have overestimated you after all."

"Over the years, I have indeed been too foolish, to have been bullied to such an extent by you without ever complaining."

"I really am stupid," Zhu Yunwen said with a hint of self-deprecation.

His words contained both self-hatred for his own cowardice and mockery of Lady Lü, a woman who was a bully who used her position to intimidate others.

She was truly afraid.

For the first time in so many years.

She was really scared.

"The Lü family."

Let's end this here.

"get out."

Zhu Yunwen sneered and waved his hand directly at Lady Lü.

Hear this.

Lady Lü breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly realizing that Zhu Yunwen was willing to back down.

After glancing at Zhu Yunwen.

She left in a disheveled and resentful state, and the palace maids and eunuchs also stood up and followed her.

After they left.

Zhu Yunwen turned around and looked at the shocked Yunyu behind him.

"Sister Yunyu".

"see it?"

“Mrs. Lü is nothing in front of me.”

"I was too cowardly before," Zhu Yunwen smiled, a sense of satisfaction in his expression.

And this time!
Li Li strode forward and said respectfully, "Young Master, are you really not going to report the evil deeds of this Lady Lü to the Crown Prince and the Emperor?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhu Yunwen retorted.

"So, you just said that this matter ends here?" Li Li asked, puzzled.

“If we break ties with the Lü family now and give her time to prepare, it won’t be a good thing. When Father returns, I will immediately go and tell him. No, while Father is still in the palace, I will go directly to the palace to pay my respects to my grandfather.”

"This woman is too vicious; I must kill her immediately," Zhu Yunwen said after a moment's thought.

have to say.

After being enlightened by Lan Yu, Zhu Yunwen truly became smarter. Instead of confronting Lady Lü directly, he secretly plotted against her.

In any case, it's a fight to the death between the two.

If it's to let Lady Lü hold onto a sliver of hope, that would be even better.

"Son."

“Since we’re going to do it, the safest thing to do is to keep an eye on Lady Lü and prevent her from playing any tricks. I’m willing to lead the brothers to watch over her and keep her out of the palace.” A look of madness flashed in Li Li’s eyes.

Listen to this.

Zhu Yunwen was also shocked: "Isn't this going too far? After all, she is in charge of the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. If we imprison her directly, Father will definitely blame us."

“Young master, if we’re going to do it, we have to be ruthless. It’s either her or me,” Li Li said immediately, his voice firm.
