Xiang Weinan was stunned. The old people nowadays were vicious and evil. How could she think of this?
His head hurt even more. He rubbed his forehead and said, “What are you guys thinking about? This is a place where you can go if you want to. Without a travel permit, you can’t even enter the city gate.”
“Then we won’t go in. We’ll go deep into the mountains and forests. We’ll find a way.”
Xiang Weinan was speechless. The Lu family was really promising. They even had the idea of walking deep into the mountains and forests. They were naive.
He looked at the Lu family members below, but he saw that their gazes were firm. They did not seem to be joking at all. It was as if they were going to take action once they left the county office.
However, Xiang Weinan couldn’t do anything to them, especially the old lady. She was old and didn’t look too good. If he used force, she might die here.
Really… As expected of Lu Shuyu’s family.
He was starting to regret promising Lu Shuyu to take care of them. Look at how much trouble he had caused himself.
With that said, the old lady did not make things difficult for him. She stood up unsteadily and turned to leave.
If Xiang Weinan let them walk out of this door, something would happen.
At this point, even if he didn’t admit it, the Lu family wouldn’t believe him.
“Forget it, I’ll say it.”
The Lu family immediately stopped and turned around.
Xiang Weinan pointed to the seats in the hall. “Alright, take a seat.”
Daniu and Daya quickly brought the chairs that were scattered on both sides to the front. This was a serious matter, so it was better not to be too loud. If they sat closer and lowered their voices, they would be able to hear it.
Xiang Weinan was speechless. It must be a bad habit he learned from Lu Shuyu.
After they sat down, Xiang Weinan frowned, not knowing where to start.
Everyone in the Lu family stared at him quietly.
After a long time, Xiang Weinan asked, “Miss Lu probably didn’t tell you about her life before returning to the Lu family and who her adoptive parents were, right?”
The old lady said, “She said that her adoptive parents are ordinary people with a little money.”
Xiang Weinan shook his head. “That’s not a small sum of money. Before Miss Lu returned home, she was the magistrate of Dongan Province, the third daughter of the Shu family.”
The old lady and the others widened their eyes in shock. The third daughter of the magistrate?
So, her adoptive parents were the magistrate?
Xiang Weinan continued, “It’s true that she has a master. It’s Dongqing Temple whom Lu Erbai met before. It was probably more than a year ago when Dongqing Temple saw Lu Erbai and Miss Lu that he became suspicious. That was why he investigated her background and told Miss Lu.”
He didn’t say that Shu Yu had left the Dongan Province after being killed by the Shu family. Otherwise, the Lu family would know that she had not had a good life in the past and would probably suffer another blow.
He was really afraid that the old lady would not be able to take it after a few more blows, so he avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial.
“You’ll know what happened after that. Miss Lu came back to look for you and reunite with you.” Xiang Weinan said, “But not long ago, something happened to the Shu family. Magistrate Shu was investigated for corruption and bribery. He was beheaded and the rest of the Shu family was exiled to the southwest.”
“Although Miss Lu isn’t the biological daughter of the Lu family, she has lived in the Shu Family for fourteen years. Nominally, she is the daughter of the Shu Family. Even if she is an adopted daughter, she is still on the list of exiles.”
