After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Chapter 284 Confiscating the house

When Fu Yuzhang brought Bi'er into the hall, Lu Zhiran was sitting at the table, holding an ancient book in her hands, her eyes focused and deep. There was not much expression on her face, but in her clear eyes, there was a hint of loss that was not easily detected.

When Fu Yuzhang saw Lu Zhiran, a happy smile appeared on his face. He walked up quickly and wanted to hug her. However, Lu Zhiran gently avoided his embrace and said lightly: "Yuzhang, you are back."

Fu Yuzhang was stunned, and then he noticed Bi'er standing beside him. He quickly explained, "Zhiran, this is Bi'er, a gift from a general during my campaign. She is smart and considerate, and I like her very much."

Lu Zhiran didn't say anything, but just looked at Bi'er quietly. Seeing this, Bi'er hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying in a gentle voice: "Hello, Madam."

Lu Zhiran nodded slightly in response. However, her heart was in turmoil. She had thought that no matter where Fu Yuzhang was, their hearts would be closely connected. However, the appearance of Bi'er now made her feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

In the following days, Fu Yuzhang doted on Bi'er and put almost all his thoughts on her. Lu Zhiran, on the other hand, became more and more silent. She often sat alone in the study, staring at the moonlight outside the window in a daze, her heart filled with endless worries.

One day, Fu Yuzhang finally noticed something was wrong with Lu Zhiran. He walked into the study and saw Lu Zhiran staring out the window in a daze, so he asked softly, "Zhiran, what's wrong with you?

Lu Zhiran stood in the courtyard of the mansion, the moonlight sprinkled on her white clothes like water, reflecting her cold temperament. Her face was as flawless as white jade, but her eyes hid deep worries. Ever since she rejected Mu Qizong's proposal, Lu Zhiran had a premonition that a storm was coming.

Mu Qizong, the son of a powerful official, is arrogant and self-righteous, but he has a special affection for Lu Zhiran. He repeatedly expressed his love to Lu Zhiran, but was repeatedly rejected. Indignant, Mu Qizong began to plot against the Fu family that Lu Zhiran married into.

The Fu family has been loyal for generations and has made great military achievements for the court. Fu Yuzhang, the only son of the Fu family, and Lu Zhiran are in love with each other. The two get married and are the envy of everyone in the capital. However, Mu Qizong uses his power to frame the Fu family in front of the emperor, saying that the Fu family intends to rebel.

The emperor believed Mu Qizong's slander and ordered a confiscation of the family property. For a time, the Fu family was in turmoil, and the mansion was surrounded by soldiers. Fu Yuzhang stood in the courtyard, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart full of doubts and confusion. He asked himself why the Fu family, who had been loyal for generations and had never had the intention of rebellion, ended up like this?

When Lu Zhiran heard the news, she felt heartbroken. She hurried back to the Fu family, but was stopped outside by soldiers. She looked at everything familiar inside the door, tears welled up in her eyes. She knew that all this was because she rejected Mu Qizong's marriage proposal. She hated her own weakness and inability to protect her family.

At this time, Mu Qizong stood on a tall building in the distance, watching all this coldly. He had a smug smile on his face, as if everything was under his control. He thought to himself, "Lu Zhiran, do you think you can escape from my grasp? I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

Lu Zhiran lingered outside the door for a long time, and finally made up her mind. She wiped away her tears and turned away. She knew that she had to find a way to save the Fu family, otherwise she would never be able to forgive herself.

Fu Yuzhang, a gentle and elegant young man from an aristocratic family, has an upright figure, delicate features, and often wears a green robe, like a touch of emerald green in the misty rain of Jiangnan. He has been well-read since childhood and has studied military tactics. However, at this moment, he stands in front of the ruins of his family, looking at the mess in front of him, feeling heartbroken.

The Fu family's mansion was once one of the most magnificent mansions in the capital, but now it is in ruins. The carved beams and painted buildings of the past are now only charred beams and pillars; the pavilions and towers of the past are now only ruins. Fu Yuzhang stood in the ruins, his eyes full of confusion and confusion.

He didn't understand why his family had become like this overnight? He asked himself why the Fu family had been loyal for generations and had never had any evil intentions, so why did they end up like this? He was full of doubts and resentment, but more of a worry about the future of his family.

At this time, Lu Zhiran also came to the ruins of the Fu family. She looked at the scene in front of her and felt very guilty. She knew that all this was because she rejected Mu Qizong's marriage proposal, which led to the Fu family suffering such a disaster. Although she tried her best to protect the Fu family, she failed in the end.

Lu Zhiran's face was pale, with a guilty look in her eyes. She walked to Fu Yuzhang and said softly, "Yuzhang, I'm sorry. It's me who harmed the Fu family."

Fu Yuzhang turned to look at Lu Zhiran, his eyes full of fatigue and pain. He shook his head and said, "Zhiran, this is none of your business. It was Mu Qizong, that villain, who framed our Fu family. We can't let his conspiracy succeed."

Hearing this, Lu Zhiran felt even more guilty. She knew she couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only stand by Fu Yuzhang silently and accompany him to face it all.

At this time, a group of soldiers came over. They were holding weapons and were aggressive. The leading general looked at Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran and said coldly: "You are the remnants of the Fu family? Why don't you surrender quickly!"

Fu Yuzhang frowned when he heard this. He protected Lu Zhiran and asked coldly, "When did our Fu family become a remnant? What evidence do you have?"

The general sneered and said, "Evidence? The emperor's order is the evidence! Your Fu family is planning to rebel, and the emperor has already ordered the confiscation of your property! Do you still want to quibble?"

Fu Yuzhang was shocked when he heard this. He knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless. He looked at Lu Zhiran beside him, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He gently pushed Lu Zhiran away and said, "Zhiran, you go first, I will deal with them."

Lu Zhiran held Fu Yuzhang's hand tightly and refused to let go. She shook her head and said, "No, Yuzhang, I can't leave. I want to face this with you."

Fu Yuzhang looked at Lu Zhiran's determined eyes and was moved. He nodded and said, "Okay, then we will face it together."

After that, Fu Yuzhang and Lu Zhiran stood side by side, facing the officers and soldiers. Although they were uneasy in their hearts, they showed a firm look on their faces.
