"It's getting late, go to sleep," Lu Wujiu said coldly.

Futu shook his head: "I'm not going!"

He bypassed Lu Wujiu and slipped into Su Jiaoniang's room: "Mother, I also have money. If you need it, I can give it all to you."

“Mother doesn’t need it, be good!” Su Jiaoniang’s gentle, smiling gaze fell on Lu Futu.

The child has already been emotionally affected today, and what he needs now is calm, not to worry about the family.

Lu Futu pulled his hand away from the silver note.

Staring at Su Jiaoniang: "Mother, could you possibly fall in love with Changsheng's uncle?"

“I like your father!” Su Jiaoniang smiled.

She must be crazy to like the Regent. Even if it's true, as Changsheng said, that Gu Xizhou is unmarried and has no women, it doesn't mean that the women of Qi are blind.

A man like Gu Xizhou, who is skilled in both literature and martial arts and only shows his soft, unguarded side to those he cares about, is incredibly popular.

The young girls in the State of Qi probably all want to be the regent's wife.

If she likes this person, she has to overcome all obstacles!

She couldn't possibly go through all this trouble for a man; she preferred the joy of raising her child.

Being a happy little widow is the happiest thing in life.

"..." Hearing Su Jiaoniang's words, Lu Futu became even more conflicted. Compared to his elderly mother's love for his deceased father, he hoped that she would love his uncle who was still alive, at least he was still a living person.

Mr. Gu is somewhat thoughtful.

It's better than a dead person.

"It's getting late, go to sleep!" Su Jiaoniang suddenly said seriously.

Futu nodded and left the room.

Stepping out of the room, he saw Lu Wujiu standing outside, and his eyes revealed a provocative glint.

Lu Wujiu stared at the pagoda, a smile playing on his lips.

His child, like him, is both heartless and compassionate.

All the tenderness was reserved for those closest to me.

To unfamiliar outsiders, they are like devils from hell, ready to claim their lives.

Upon entering the room, one is greeted by a delicate fragrance, reminiscent of oranges. A closer look reveals a broken earthenware jar on the dressing table, containing several oranges and persimmons.

The persimmons are slightly red.

Orange-green.

The bedding on the bed was folded neatly and squarely, and the floor was very clean. It was the kind of place where a woman who loves beauty would only have a simple box of pear blossom cream and a hairpin with a flower on the table.

Aside from the simple peach wood hairpin, it's the only one.

Lu Wujiu felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been overturned in his heart. In the State of Qi, he lived a life of luxury and wealth, but the woman who bore him children did not even have a decent hairpin or earring.

"Thank you for today's matter, Mr. Gu." Su Jiaoniang shifted her gaze to Lu Wujiu, spoke softly, and thanked him solemnly.

If it weren't for this man's men finding the pagoda in time, and if it weren't for him bringing Magistrate Hu along...

It will probably take a lot of time and effort to completely sever ties with those who are clinging to your bones and sucking your blood.

The longer it drags on, the less good it will do for her.

"No need for that..." So awkward!

Lu Wujiu stood opposite him, wanting to say that this was the right thing to do, and that it had to be done.

He stared at Su Jiaoniang, wondering how the woman could tell he wasn't her biological son.

The strange incongruity about the woman made him feel uneasy as well. He couldn't have anyone with unclear or ambiguous relationships around him, but he didn't want to investigate or ask any questions.

He was probably scared.

"When does Mr. Gu plan to leave?" Su Jiaoniang asked.

Lu Wujiu straightened up. When did he leave? More than a month ago.

After collecting taxes in Lucheng for a year, he had to return to Qi.

“Over a month,” Lu Wujiu said, not wanting to hide anything from her.

"It's alright!" In a month, she can earn four hundred taels of silver.

Su Jiaoniang let out a breath, thinking of the question Futu had asked her: whether she had feelings for Mr. Gu. Feelings are like a little frog; she likes being a little widow.

After Lu Wujiu left, she picked up her small basket and walked towards the village's cemetery.

Upon finding the cenotaph, he began to express his admiration and longing, and recounted all the events that had happened in the original owner's life, big and small, in detail.

Today's "stable persona" is complete.

After Su Jiaoniang left, Zhao Han and Lu Wujiu jumped down from the tree.

Zhao Han looked at Lu Wujiu with sympathy and pity: "If you really can't do it, then so be it. Judging from the current situation, the young widow and her deceased husband have a bond stronger than gold. It is especially difficult to find such a relationship. If you have found it, then you should give them your blessings. Please don't try to ruin it."

After Zhao Han finished speaking, he took his left hand with his right hand, and a look of infatuation appeared on his face.

"..." Lu Wujiu was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Han, who knew nothing.

What does he want to do?

I want to paint my head green.

Hearing Su Jiaoniang's longing for her deceased husband, he was moved but also found it hard to accept.

Is a living person less valuable than a dead person's clothes?

Zhao Han continued, "Priceless treasures are easy to find, but a loving person is hard to come by. Madam Su is truly a person of deep affection and integrity. It's just a pity that Old Man Lu is a short-lived ghost who has no fortune to enjoy such a life."

Lu Wujiu's gaze fell on Zhao Han, a person he usually used very easily, who seemed to be acting strangely at this moment.

“Go to the gambling den, and you’ll get your money back.”

"Understood!" Zhao Han chuckled and headed towards the county town.

now.

The Lu family was ecstatic, their eyes glued to the four hundred taels of silver; none of them could sleep. Four hundred taels! Their entire family combined couldn't earn that much money in a lifetime!

Everyone was wondering how much of the money they would get.
