"What's the matter? Could it be that someone from the Lu family has taken over our shop?" Cao De's face was filled with anger.

Even clay figures can get angry, Lu Jia, don't push your luck!

"No!" Cao Meng shook his head.

"What's the big deal?" Cao De frowned.

Cao Meng hurriedly said, "Dad! The Lu family fled out of the city early in the morning!"

"What!" Cao De exclaimed.

Cao Meng continued, "Leaving the city at this critical moment without informing us, there must be something wrong, something serious!"

"Could it be that he is going to present a gift to the imperial envoy and sell out our Jiangnan family?"

"Dad, you're loyal, but they aren't!"

"Don't let yourself be sold and then help others count money!"

"We can't suffer this loss in silence!"

Cao De pondered for a long while, then immediately stopped hesitating and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to go to a banquet outside the city!"

Such scenes were being played out in all the aristocratic mansions in Suzhou City.

The family heads who were originally hesitant, heard that Lu Jia had gone to the outskirts of Suzhou early in the morning, and immediately prepared sedan chairs to attend the banquet.

By Taihu Lake.

Murong Yanran estimated that the time was almost up, so she finally came out to greet Lu Jia and his group.

Murong Yanran took light lotus steps, bowed gracefully, and apologized, "Yanran didn't know that Master Lu was coming to visit. I didn't come to greet you. I hope you can forgive me!"

Lü Jia looked eagerly at the sight, and said with a forced smile, "Your Excellency, the Imperial Envoy has had a long journey, and it is only natural that you should sleep late."

Murong Yanran bowed again and scolded Li Yinhuan, "You bastard! Why didn't you announce that Patriarch Lu was visiting?"

Li Yinhuan said with a bitter face and a look of grievance: "I am here to see you, sir. I have been exhausted from the journey and haven't slept for several days. I finally fell asleep, so I dare not disturb you."

Lu Jia felt even more contempt in his heart. He thought this was another fool who was living off his father's fame!

The officials of the Great Zhou are all like this, how can they be saved?

It seems that it is just around the corner for my Lu family to surpass the nine surnames and become the number one family in the world!

Murong Yanran was furious: "You bastard! Who is the head of the Lu family? Do you think you can stop him?"

Li Yinhuan felt very aggrieved and buried her head deeply.

Lü Jia quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Sir, General Li is doing this for your own good. Please don't scold her anymore."

Murong Yanran looked very disappointed: "This bastard actually made Patriarch Lu wait for Yanran for a whole day. Yanran must be put to death by military court!"

"Come here, drag her away and give her forty military sticks!"

Li Yinhuan was dragged away, gnashing his teeth with a ferocious look on his face.

idiot!

Can we offend the accompanying guard commander so easily?

When Lu Jia saw this, he felt even more contemptuous.

Murong Yanran forced a smile and said, "Master Lu and his group have been waiting for a long time. They must be hungry, right?"

"Yanran has already ordered people to prepare the meal. I hope Patriarch Lu will not be disgusted."

"How can I refuse the invitation of the Imperial Envoy?"

With a smile on his face, Lu Jia followed Murong Yanran into a large military tent.

As soon as I entered the tent, I saw a huge curtain dividing the entire tent into two.

It was a large tent, but with only three tables, it looked extremely crowded.

Behind the curtain, there seemed to be the sound of two men whispering.

Suddenly, two faint blushes appeared on Murong Yanran's snow-white face, and she shouted in a low voice: "Why don't you retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no movement.

Lu Jia smiled even more brightly, and his wrinkles piled up together like a chrysanthemum.

He finally understood why they had to pull up a huge curtain.

It turns out this stupid bitch was just having a wild time here.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is hopeless...
