Since the generals had been so rude, barging into Lu Yuan's residence uninvited, Lu Yuan dropped all pretense of courtesy. Without a word of greeting, he sat down alone.
Su Liyan and Gu Ziye stood to the side, watching the scene unfold.
Lu Yuan crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, and looked at Lan Ying and the other generals. He asked slowly, "Grand General Lan, what is the meaning of you bringing all these generals to my home?"
Lu Yuan didn't believe Gu Ziye's theory that they were here to ransack the place. He certainly didn't believe they would dare to lay a hand on him within the Imperial City.
After all, the woman he had married was the daughter of the reigning Emperor. Who would dare to rebel?
And even if they did have the courage, they were no match for him and Su Liyan.
Lan Ying and the other generals shifted to either side, clearing a path down the middle.
A eunuch in palace attire walked through, holding a bright yellow scroll.
