Chapter 252 May You Have Good Fortune

Seeing the three of them like this, Xie Hanyue's face turned pale with anger, but she also knew that she didn't have a good impression in Lu Jinzhi's heart, so she couldn't do anything reckless at this time.

Lu Jinzhi frowned as he looked at Lord Lu and said softly, "Nian'er is my son, so naturally he should stay by my side, Father...you..."

"I'm keeping the child for your own good."

"You should know what kind of person your wife is."

Lord Lu looked at his son with obvious impatience. He thought about how he had carefully raised such a good child, only to have him sent to Lingnan because of a woman. The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.

When Xie Qingran arrived, she saw the father and son arguing. Seeing Xie Qingran dressed in her official robes, even Lu Jinzhi was dumbfounded.

Normally, Lu Jinzhi looked down on Xie Qingran, thinking she was cold and plain-looking. But today, Lu Jinzhi even felt like a chicken in front of a phoenix when he stood in front of her.

Xie Qingran's status and position were unmatched even by Lord Lu, especially since she was currently wearing the imperial robes bestowed upon her by the emperor. Lord Lu could only reluctantly offer a bow: "Greetings, Lady Zhenguo."

"Greetings, Lord Lu." Xie Qingran returned the greeting politely, then said with a faint smile, "I've come to see my sister. I knew she was leaving the capital today, so I came to visit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wenyuan, Zhou Huai'an, and Zhao Yuanqi all rushed over. Zhao Yuanqi, who had difficulty walking, followed at the back. When they saw Xie Qingran, everyone paused for a moment, feeling as if they had never met the dazzling girl in front of them before.

However, they quickly reacted and all bowed to Xie Qingran, saying, "Greetings, Lady Zhenguo!"

"Greetings, gentlemen. We're all old acquaintances, so there's no need for such formalities," Xie Qingran said with a faint smile.

Xie Hanyue was originally sitting in the car and hadn't gotten out, but after hearing the noise outside, she immediately got out.

Xie Qingran stepped forward, affectionately took Xie Hanyue's hand, and said with a smile, "Yue'er, this trip is long and arduous, so you must take good care of yourself, your husband, and the children. Oh, and I brought you some snacks, remember to eat them on the way."

"You!" Xie Hanyue's expression changed upon seeing her like this. She immediately withdrew her hand and said coldly, "Xie Qingran, stop pretending. I know you're doing this on purpose, but you just wait and see. I will definitely come back, and I will not lose to you!"

"We're sisters, there's no such thing as winning or losing."

"Alright, you've always been prone to throwing tantrums since you were little, and your older brothers have always doted on you and indulged you. But now that you're married, you can't be so willful anymore, understand?"

Xie Qingran sighed, seemingly at a loss for what to do with this little sister.

At first, Lu Jinzhi didn't realize the significance of the scene. But after hearing Xie Qingran's words, he immediately realized that these people were all childhood sweethearts of Xie Hanyue, and in Xie Hanyue's words, they were all her good brothers!

Even Lu Jinzhi himself was one of them!

He hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he thought about it carefully, Lu Jinzhi felt utterly disgusted!

He frowned deeply as he looked at Xie Hanyue: "Yes, aren't they all your good brothers?"

"I..." Xie Hanyue wanted to deny it, but they had grown up together since childhood, and no one could change that.

Xie Hanyue finally understood what Xie Qingran meant by those words; they were clearly malicious.

"Xie Qingran, shut up! We're completely innocent, you..."

Xie Qingran was also taken aback when she saw Xie Hanyue's exasperated appearance.

But Xie Qingran quickly realized what was going on and chuckled, "Of course I'm innocent. Why are you so nervous, little sister? I remember when you were little, General Zhao doted on you the most. Now that you're leaving, why don't you have a good talk with him?"

The group of people had all come to see Lu Jinzhi off. They had grown up together since childhood, wearing the same pair of pants, but Xie Qingran's words made it seem as if they had all come for Xie Hanyue.

Everyone felt awkward, and their expressions were not good.

Zhou Huai'an was the quickest to react.

Zhou Huai'an strode up to Lu Jinzhi, smiled at him, and said, "Good brother, the world is vast and boundless. You have always been exceptionally talented, and you are sure to achieve great things and make a name for yourself!"

Lu Jinzhi was surprised by Zhou Huai'an's words and felt much better.

He took a deep breath and hugged Zhou Huai'an: "Thank you, Prince Jin, for coming to see me off today!"

“We’ve been together since we were little, and we learned to read and write together. I believe in your abilities, Jinzhi. Don’t be discouraged. Leaving the capital may not be such a bad thing after all.”

"I want to leave, but I can't."

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but twitch his lips into a wry smile.

He has kept a low profile ever since he learned his true identity.

He had always wanted to leave the capital and live a carefree life with Gu Xiangyuan, but the old emperor refused and insisted on keeping him around as a troublemaker to counterbalance the Crown Prince.

Shen Wenyuan was a straightforward man. He strode forward and handed Lu Jinzhi a bag full of gold ingots, saying, "Eat and drink well, don't deprive yourself!"

Upon seeing the gold ingot, Lu Jinzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"good!"

Zhao Yuanqi limped forward, sighed at Lu Jinzhi, patted his shoulder, and handed him a token.

“I have three hundred soldiers in Lingnan, all of them my personal guards. The situation there is chaotic, so they can ensure your safety.”

Three hundred soldiers?

Xie Qingran looked at the token he handed her with a cold expression, her eyes darkening.

Originally, Xie Hanyue thought that these people were all there to see her off, but she never expected that they would all be surrounding Lu Jinzhi.

She didn't know what went wrong, and she couldn't understand why the men who used to love her seemed to have become completely different people.

Xie Qingran walked up to Xie Hanyue and looked at her coldly: "This is your own life, you should live it well. I know you are going to Lingnan, so I specially inquired about it for you. The Prince of Lingnan is a petty person. You rejected him for such a person, so he will probably hold a grudge against you. At that time, you will have to pray for good luck."
