Chapter 139 Who exactly is Lu Xun?

Lu Xinnian opened the wooden box, inside which were several silver notes and two land deeds.

"Land title?"

When she opened it, she was surprised to find it was a land deed for a house in the capital!

"We've been back in Lujia Village for almost five years, so why do you have a land deed from the capital?"

Lu Xinnian turned to look at Lu Ze, only to see Chen Shiyan staring at him with the same shocked expression.

Lu Xinnian finally understood.

"You didn't even tell your aunt and second brother, so you're keeping a mistress in the capital?"

Chen Shiyan was immediately enraged.

"Alright, Lu Ze, I'll raise your son and niece, and toil for you for half my life."

For you, I severed ties with my family, and you actually kept a mistress! How could you do this to me?

Lu Ze was probably heartbroken and simply chose to shut up.

With the remaining few thousand taels of silver notes, Lu Xinnian didn't argue with him anymore, and put all the silver notes and land deeds into her pocket.

After closing the empty box, Lu Xinnian asked, "Where is Second Brother's complaint?"

Lu Ze's expression changed, and he looked strange: "What indictment? I don't know!"

"What a show-off."

Lu Xinnian snorted coldly and walked towards the kitchen.

Just as everyone else was wondering what was going on, Lu Xinnian approached step by step, holding a kitchen knife.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ze was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.

"What...what do you want to do?!"

Lu Xinnian didn't say a word, and threw the kitchen knife in front of him.

"Zhaozhao, Uncle Lu, thank you for coming with me. I want to go see Lord Yang."

Lu Xun jumped down from the roof. He had heard everything she and her second brother had said in the room.

It seems she's going to talk to Lord Yang about this on behalf of her second brother.

"Okay, let's go."

"Uncle Lu, where are we going to find Uncle Lu Yang?"

Yun Zhao looked up and asked.

"Go back to the yamen and wait."

There are many victims in An County, and they don't know which family Yang Jingyan went to.

"Okay, okay~ Sister Lu, let's go quickly~"

Yun Zhao rode the tiger and left with Lu Xinnian.

After the tiger left, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, crawled over, and took the kitchen knife.

As soon as the ropes binding him were cut, Chen Shiyan grabbed his hair.

"Lu Ze! I'm going to kill you!"

"What's wrong with you! You believe everything that girl says? So what if she has a land deed for a house? That's for when she gets married."

After Xun'er finishes high school, we'll use one place when she returns to Beijing. We'll live in one place ourselves, and the other is for Xun'er after she gets married!

Lu Ze's scalp stung from being pulled, and he hurriedly explained.

"real?"

Chen Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "Then what did she mean by the petition she mentioned earlier?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense! Hurry up and prepare lunch, I'm going to change Xun'er's dressing!"

Lu Ze pulled his hand away and fled in panic.

As for what nonsense Lu Ze was spouting, Lu Xinnian no longer cared.

On the way back, Lu Xun unusually did not climb onto the roof, but followed behind Lu Xinnian.

Yun Zhao observed Lu Xun's strange behavior and began to ponder.

In the past, whenever he and Lu Li went out alone, they were like people hiding, and no one could ever see them.

This is strange, though, because I was just about to help find the pension.

etc.

His surname is Lu.

Could it be that distant relative of Lu Xinnian from the Northwest?

Was Lu Xun from Northwest China?

Back at the yamen, Yang Jingyan had not yet returned, so Lu Xinnian asked a constable for paper and pen.

"Sister Lu, are you going to write the complaint yourself?"

Yun Zhao asked curiously.

"Yes, my second brother said that no matter what, this scoundrel must be punished as he deserves."

My uncle just tore up the complaint he had written and didn't hand it in.

Lu Xinnian dipped his brush in ink and began to concentrate on writing the petition.

Seeing this, Yun Zhao didn't want to disturb her, so she went into the courtyard and searched for Lu Xun's whereabouts.

Lu Xun always stood in a high place so that he could easily observe the situation.

Yun Zhao was short and couldn't easily find people on higher ground, so he lay down next to the tiger's ear.

"Huahua, can you help me find Uncle Lu?"

She secretly slipped a fruit from her spatial storage into Hua Hua's hand. Hua Hua took a bite of the fruit with satisfaction and then got up to look for Lu Xun.

It circled around and finally stopped under a tree in the front yard.

Yun Zhao looked up and saw Lu Xun hiding in a tree branch, holding a knife and looking down at her.

She gave him a sweet smile.

"Uncle Lu~"

"You were looking for me?"

Yun Zhao nodded heavily.

"What's wrong?"

This little girl may be young, but she's got a lot of clever ideas.

The young master also valued her highly.

"No~ Sister Lu is writing a complaint, and Zhao Zhao is so bored, so she came to play with Uncle Lu~ Uncle Lu, where are you from?"

She blinked and asked curiously.

"They make their home wherever they go, without a fixed abode."

"Wow, Uncle Lu must have seen a lot of novel things, right?"

This is Zhao Zhao's first time leaving the capital! It's also the first time she's met Tiger Tiger.

Uncle Lu, have you ever seen a snow leopard? I've heard snow leopards are so cute!

Upon hearing her words, Lu Xun secretly became wary.

"No."

"Oh? What a pity! Sister Lu said she met him when she was little. I really want to meet him too!"

"Waaah..."

The tiger beside him growled in dissatisfaction, and Yun Zhao covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Huahua, are you jealous? No, Zhaozhao loves Huahua the most!"

Yun Zhao gently scratched Hua Hua's chin, pretending to be bored, and climbed onto the tiger's back.

"Huahua, let's go out and play! Uncle Lu, you have to protect Sister Lu, okay?"

After saying that, she rode away on the tiger.

After a long while, Lu Xun climbed down from the tree, looked around, and seeing that no one was around, he went into the house.

The tiger and her figure only appeared where Yun Zhao had just left.

"Sure enough, Uncle Lu must be Sister Lu's relative from the Northwest! He was lying when he said he'd never seen a snow leopard!"

Yun Zhao leaned close to Tiger's ear and whispered, "Hua Hua, could you eavesdrop without Uncle Lu noticing?"

The tiger nodded and lightly carried her away.

Inside the room, Lu Xinnian was writing a petition. When she saw Lu Xun enter, she quickly put down her brush.

"Uncle Lu, thank you so much for today!"

"Miss Lu, what are your plans for the future? Will you stay in An County or return to the capital?"

Lu Xun stated frankly.

Lu Xinnian's smile froze.

As an orphan, if she were to return to the capital, not to mention the long journey.

Her uncle's family alone was enough to leave her at a loss.

She didn't know the situation in the capital, but given her uncle's personality, those two houses in the capital certainly wouldn't be empty.

If Lu Xun and Yun Zhao hadn't brought the tiger over today, Lu Ze wouldn't have been able to hand over these things.

She alone could not possibly take back those two houses.

She could also expose herself and be caught by her uncle.

Forget about taking back the house; they might even lose the remaining few thousand taels of silver.

Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Xun suddenly spoke.

"Miss Lu, although the young princess has been exiled, several of the princess's personal maids have also gone south with her."

A donkey cart will be following you if you haven't decided where to go yet.

Why don't we go with the young princess to Lingnan first, settle down there, and then make another decision?"

"ah?"

They have no relatives or friends, so it seems a bit inappropriate for them to suddenly follow others south.

Lu Xun's suggestion was somewhat strange.

He then added, "The young princess likes you quite a bit, and you're also somewhat acquainted with the Xu family."

Once we reach Lingnan and the prince has recovered, I believe he will find a way to clear his name.

"Perhaps you'll still have a way to get your house back in the capital then."
