Chapter 281 Robbery
"Mr. Mu, what else do you want?" Lu Zhiran's voice was a little cold and vigilant.
Mu Qizon looked at Lu Zhiran deeply, as if he wanted to see through her heart.
The night was as dark as ink, covering the prosperous Kyoto. The palace lanterns were hanging high, and the magnificent palace was even more solemn in the night. Lu Zhiran sat alone in front of the window of her boudoir, looking at the hazy moonlight outside, but her heart was surging.
Her brother-in-law, Mu Qizong, was originally an obscure palace guard, but because the prince he followed ascended the throne, he instantly rose to prominence and became a hot figure in the court. Mu Qizong was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He was originally a role model in Lu Zhiran's heart, but now his power and status have made him more greedy and arrogant.
Since Mu Qizong became rich, he has frequently appeared in Lu Zhiran's mansion, pestering her in various names. His eyes were full of greed and desire, as if he wanted to devour Lu Zhiran whole. Lu Zhiran was terrified and helpless. She knew Mu Qizong's ambition and power very well, and did not dare to offend him easily.
Tonight, Mu Qizong came to Lu Zhiran's boudoir again. He knocked on the door gently, with a bit of tenderness in his voice: "Zhiran, open the door, I have something to tell you."
Lu Zhiran clenched her fists tightly, her heart full of struggle. She didn't want to see Mu Qizong, but she was afraid that his power would bring trouble to her and her family. She took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
Mu Qizong walked in with a smile on his face, dressed in brocade clothes. He looked at Lu Zhiran and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He walked to Lu Zhiran, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Zhiran, you know how I feel about you. Now that I am an important official in the court, we can..."
Lu Zhiran pulled his hand back abruptly, with a bit of anger on his face: "Brother-in-law, please respect yourself! Although I am a woman, I also know courtesy, righteousness, and shame. The relationship between us can only be brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Don't even think about anything else!"
Mu Qizong was choked by Lu Zhiran's words, and his face darkened instantly. He stared at Lu Zhiran for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Lu Zhiran, who do you think you are? You are just a daughter of a concubine, what qualifications do you have to reject me? I tell you, I have never failed to get what I want!"
After saying that, Mu Qizong turned around and left, leaving Lu Zhiran standing there in a daze. Her heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. She knew that Mu Qizong's words were not groundless. She knew that her situation was very dangerous, but she didn't know what to do.
As the days passed, Mu Qizong pestered Lu Zhiran more and more frequently. He kept sending people various precious gifts to try to impress her. But Lu Zhiran remained unmoved, she knew she couldn't bow to Mu Qizong.
However, just when Lu Zhiran thought that her persistence could bring her some peace, a sudden change shattered her fantasy. Mu Qizong secretly framed her father and brother and put them in jail.
When Lu Zhiran heard the news, she was heartbroken. She knew she couldn't just sit there and do nothing anymore, she had to find a way to rescue her father and brother. So she decided to go to Mu Qizong in person and use her life to buy their freedom.
When Mu Qizong learned of Lu Zhiran's arrival, a smug smile appeared on his face. He sat in the study, leisurely sipping tea, waiting for Lu Zhiran's arrival. When Lu Zhiran walked into the study, she had a resolute look on her face. She looked at Mu Qizong and said word by word: "Mu Qizong, I agree to your request, but you must release my father and brother."
Mu Qizong looked at Lu Zhiran, with a lewd light in his eyes. He stood up, walked to Lu Zhiran, and said softly: "Zhiran, you finally figured it out. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to follow me, your father and brother will be safe."
Lu Zhiran closed her eyes, her heart filled with pain and helplessness. She knew that she was about to lose her freedom and dignity, but for the sake of her family, she had no choice. However, just as she was about to accept her fate, an unexpected voice broke the silence of the study.
It turned out to be her husband Fu Yuzhang.
Mu Qizong looked at Lu Zhiran, and the lustful light in his eyes became more and more intense. He was a burly man, but he had a treacherous look, his face was greasy, and his eyes were full of calculations. He stood up slowly, with a hint of complacency in his steps, as if he had already won.
Lu Zhiran sat in the corner of the study, wearing a light blue dress that made her look elegant. However, at this moment, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes, which were once bright, were now filled with despair and struggle. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to let her tears fall, but the pain in her heart surged like a tide.
Mu Qizon walked to Lu Zhiran, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Zhiran, you finally figured it out. You see, in this world, the strong are respected. If you follow me, I will ensure that your father and brother are safe. Otherwise, they will be in trouble." His voice was low and cold, as if it came from hell.
Lu Zhiran closed her eyes tightly, her heart was in pain as if being cut by a knife. She knew that she was about to lose her freedom and dignity, but she was more afraid of the safety of her family. She couldn't imagine what kind of suffering her father and brother would suffer if she rejected Mu Qizong.
However, just when she was about to give up resistance, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the study. She opened her eyes and saw a man dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes rushing in. He was tall, handsome, and his eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit. It was her husband - Fu Yuzhang.
When Fu Yuzhang saw what was happening in the study, his face suddenly turned pale. He quickly walked to Lu Zhiran, protected her behind him, and glared at Mu Qizong, saying, "Mu Qizong, how dare you humiliate my wife like this! Do you know your crime?"
Seeing this, Mu Qizong's face flashed with panic. He didn't expect Fu Yuzhang to come back suddenly, and he didn't expect him to stand up for Lu Zhiran. But he quickly calmed down and sneered: "Fu Yuzhang, you are just a powerless prince, what qualifications do you have to shout at me here? I tell you, as long as you know what's good for you and hand Lu Zhiran over to me, I can consider letting you go."
Fu Yuzhang's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this. He drew the long sword from his waist, pointed it at Mu Qizong and said, "Although I have no power or influence, I am not someone who will be bullied! If you dare to touch my wife, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
