After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

The old lady cherished her precious grandson so much that she immediately said, "Go back and rest first, and let the family physician come and take a look. How could I forget? Pregnant women cannot be exposed to blood."

"Quickly, quickly, someone come and help the lady down to rest."

Wei Jiaruo successfully left that hellish place. On the way, Liuxiang asked with concern, "Madam, I'll go and call the royal physician."

Wei Jiaruo said, "If I said you weren't smart, you really are a fool."

It's obvious Wei Zhaoning is going to take action against Lu Ze. I'm just avoiding him.

"Ah, then why won't Madam save the young master?" Liu Xiang pretended not to understand.

"Didn't I tell you last time? If I don't run now, by then, it will be too late to save him without a lot of effort."

The Shouan Hall fell silent for a moment.

Master Wuxin hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The ancestor was very angry and demanded that the second young master's entire hand be cut off. Whichever hand presented the sword should be cut off, otherwise the Marquis's mansion would be destroyed."

"This method involves making this young lady bleed, then I will transfer the spirit of your ancestor into her body, and she will then personally cut off the second young master's hand as atonement."

"What?!"

Everyone suddenly found it hard to breathe.

"How can you cut off his arm! Do you even know how to read a book? If my son Aze loses his arm, he'll be laughed at for being crippled. How will he ever get married?!" The old lady was the first to disagree.

Lu Zhufeng looked hesitant and wavering. Although he was furious, he didn't necessarily want things to come to that point!

"Master, are you sure you're not mistaken? Who ever gets their hands cut off to atone for their sins? My family spent a fortune to hire you to resolve this issue, but you weren't told to harm my brother in the slightest!"

Master Wuxin immediately refused to continue, saying, "If that's the case, then please find someone else, Lord Marquis. I will return every penny of the money you gave me."

Just now I communicated with your ancestor through spirit communication, and he said that this matter is of utmost importance, and that the Marquis's mansion must be massacred!

Lu Zhufeng stood there, unsure whether to try to persuade him to stay or what to do.

Everyone else erupted in anger, hurling insults at Master Wuxin, calling him a charlatan and saying that his words were not to be taken seriously.

Lu Ze then realized that Wei Zhaoning was taking revenge on him.

He struggled violently, his beast-like eyes now bloodshot.

"Wei Zhaoning! Don't even think about it!"

"Don't think I don't know you're getting revenge on me, and you're even bringing in a con artist to plot with you? Impossible!"

Lu Zhufeng asked, "Revenge?"

Lu Ze nodded emphatically, "Brother, don't be fooled by this woman. She's vicious and ruthless. She's just taking revenge because she can't stand my disrespect towards her before!"

He dared not mention Dongxu's matter, for if it were brought up, there would be even more unsavory things behind it.

Lu Zhufeng glanced at Wei Zhaoning and frowned.

Wei Zhaoning then said softly, "Dongxu, come here."

"Since Aze suspects that I was the one who interfered, then let it go. I have no way to defend myself on this matter, and I can't explain myself clearly."

Chopping off his hand was indeed too much; Aze was still so young. Perhaps Your Excellency should find someone else to consider? Maybe there's another way?"

Lu Ze said, "Stop pretending to be innocent!"

Lu Zhufeng narrowed his eyes, somewhat at a loss. Master Wuxin had already walked out of Shou'an Hall and was about to leave the Marquis's mansion. He looked at his back and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Several pairs of eyes scrutinized Wei Zhaoning, each wondering, if Wei Zhaoning had truly orchestrated all of this, why had she pushed and shoved the maid earlier? Wouldn't it have been simpler to just throw the maid out?

Her words were so well-chosen that it was impossible to find fault with them, and for a moment, it really was hard to know who to believe.

"Brother, let me go first. I'll redeem the sword. Let's find another Taoist priest to take a look. That other Taoist priest came up and said he'd cut off my hand. He's obviously not a proper Taoist!"

Lu Ze practically begged; the Taoist priest's startling words had terrified him.

Lu Zhufeng stood there for a while, just as he was about to speak, when suddenly there was chaos outside.

Several servants screamed, "Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!"

"There's a ghost!!!!"

Everyone's expression changed, and they all looked outside. What they saw next was quite shocking.

Five corpses were found hanging at the entrance of the ancestral hall, their deaths gruesome and chilling to behold.

Lu Zhufeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and the voice in his heart began to clamor again, giving him a splitting headache. Fear struck again, and almost instinctively, he ran to the entrance of the Marquis's mansion and called out to Master Wuxin, who was about to get into the carriage.

Master Wuxin was forcibly dragged back by him.

The remaining few people had clearly never seen such a scene before and were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

The two girls vomited for a long time and couldn't recover. The old lady opened her mouth, trying to speak, but couldn't utter a single word.

This scene clearly gave the group a great visual impact.

Master Wuxin shook his head. "As I just said, that senior has already decided to massacre the Marquis's mansion. If this matter is not dealt with quickly, I'm afraid more people will lose their lives because of it."

First the maids and servants died, then, could it be him, the marquis? Lu Zhufeng dared not think any further.

"Brother! Don't listen to his nonsense, there must be another way! He's in cahoots with Wei Zhaoning!"

Lu Ze was no longer sure if his brother would actually listen to the old Taoist priest's nonsense, and he couldn't help but panic.

Wei Zhaoning shook her head. "In that case, Dongxu, let's go. It's pointless to be willing to contribute to the Marquis's mansion only to end up getting smeared with dirty water."

Lu Zhufeng's head was about to explode. On one side was his younger brother whom he had watched grow up, and on the other side were the lives of everyone in the Marquis's mansion. He didn't know what to choose or what was the right thing to do.

Hearing that Wei Zhaoning was about to leave, he almost immediately called out to her, "Ningning! Don't go! Don't go yet! Don't move!"

Just then, screams rang out again, "Aaaaaah! Another person has died here!"

The speed at which people were dying pushed Lu Zhufeng to the brink of collapse.

"My lord, you should make a decision as soon as possible," Master Wuxin said.

Now, even the others were considering using this method. They steeled themselves, ignoring Lu Ze's terrified face, and pleaded, "Master! Please, Uncle, help us!"

"I'm getting married soon, I don't want to die!"

What chilled Lu Ze the most was the old lady. She forced herself to cry and said, "If the old Marquis could see this manor on the verge of collapse, how painful it would be for him. On the day he dies, how will I have the face to face him..."

Lu Ze was trembling all over, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"You! You!"

Like a swarm of flies, they buzzed incessantly in Lu Zhufeng's ears. He felt as if he had gone mad, and his body was becoming increasingly stiff.

"Shut up, all of you! Stop arguing!"
