Chapter 305 Investigation

Lu Jing had nothing to talk about with the younger generations of the Chen family. He had accumulated great prestige, and the younger generations of the Chen family did not dare to talk to him. Lu Jing tried to be friendly, but it did not have much effect. The younger generations were on pins and needles, but they could not leave Lu Jing alone, so they finally went archery together.

Most of the sons-in-law who came back to their parents' home were so awkward, but they were much better at activities. Lu Jing was not much older than them, and they were almost the same age. It was just that Lu Jing had too much experience and was more mature than them. The topics they talked about and the things they were interested in were all different.

Lu Jing also intended to build a good relationship with them. These people were Su Qingwan's family members. The Marquis's wife treated Su Qingwan as her own daughter, and the Marquis's Mansion was her support in Kyoto. If someone else married Su Qingwan, they might not want to support the Marquis's Mansion, fearing that Su Qingwan's power would grow and become difficult to control. However, Lu Jing never had such an idea. Instead, he hoped that Su Qingwan could feel a sense of belonging in the capital. Huainan was her heart disease, and her family was also her weakness. He hoped that Su Qingwan would be more attached to and dependent on the capital.

The Marquis' Mansion is full of talented people of this generation, and he can use them.

After Lu Jing chatted with the Marquis's wife, the people in the Marquis's mansion prepared lunch. They were all one family, and there was no separation between men and women. The Marquis's wife asked Lu Jing about his well-being and showed concern for him. Lu Jing answered all of her questions very politely. In a word, both the host and the guests had a great time.

The Princess of Huainan chose the Marquis' Mansion when she returned home, which was also an attitude, indicating that the Marquis' Mansion and Huainan are relatives in the same boat. Marquis Ningyuan has never made such a clear statement in all these years. The main reason was that the Huainan Palace was killed, and the late emperor was very taboo about it, so the Marquis' Mansion could only protect itself. Now that the Palace has an heir, the Marquis' Mansion has long stood up to declare its identity.

Su Qingwan knew that on the battlefields of Huainan and Xilin, Ningyuan Hou was fully supporting Nian Qing to gain a foothold in the army, and he also eagerly hoped that the King of Huainan could quickly win the hearts of the people in the army.

After lunch, the Marquis's wife prepared many gifts for them to take back, and was very enthusiastic. Lu Jing could feel the Marquis's wife's enthusiasm and promised to bring Su Qingwan to visit often. He could see that everyone in the Marquis's mansion treated Su Qingwan as a relative, and they were afraid that he would treat Su Qingwan badly. Lu Jing thought to himself that he was even more afraid that the Marquis's wife would be dissatisfied with him.

Lu Jing had ten days before his wedding, and although he said it was a day off, he was actually very busy. Li An, Zhou Jingming, and several of his confidants often came to the palace to discuss matters with him. The situation was turbulent, and the struggle for power was fierce, so it was difficult for Lu Jing to have any free time, and he spent all his time accompanying Su Qingwan.

On the eighth day after the marriage, a major incident occurred in the suburbs of Beijing. A granary was stolen. This matter was originally to be investigated by the Jinyiwei, but it involved a wide range of people and was related to the general stationed in the capital. Li An would definitely not be able to solve it, so Lu Jing had to go!

This matter was really to make things difficult for him. Lu Jing was upset. Su Qingwan could clearly sense his emotions and smiled to comfort him, "The capital station is not far away. A fast horse can go back and forth in one day. Don't be angry!"

"General Liu is such a waste. He can't even handle such a small matter. The granary can even be stolen. It's unheard of!" This is the granary of the entire Kyoto. Who would dare to touch the granary? No one knows what the specific situation is. Li An has already set off yesterday. He has to arrange the trivial matters in the court before he can leave.

Su Qingwan hooked his hand, "How about...I'll go with you?"

She was free in Beijing anyway, so it would be nice for her to go investigate the case with Lu Jing.

Lu Jing's eyes lit up, and he was actually moved, "You want to go with me?"

"May I?"
