In the end, Lu Wujiu did not say anything about showing mercy.

The princess was dragged out.

Lu San was also sent back.

As for Lu Haoxue, Lu Wujiu ignored her.

The butler, however, asked an extra question: "Does Young Master Lu intend to stay here or go to the Lu family?"

"I want to start my own household. Butler, could you tell me which places would be suitable for me?" After this incident, Lu Haoxue completely lost interest in the Lu family.

The person who could send him to a man's bed probably didn't have much respect for him.

Rather than staying here.

It would be better to start your own business sooner rather than later.

Having hands and feet, and being able to write and read, surely they can support themselves.

The butler's gaze swept over Lu Haoxue: "Young Master Lu, would you like to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Truth!" There are too many lies in this world, whether well-intentioned or malicious.

To live a better life, you need to hear the truth.

Not lies.

The butler said, "The outside world is too complicated and not suitable for Young Master Lu. You are upright and handsome, and there are many people in this world who are attracted to male beauty. If you want to live a peaceful and ordinary life, your face will be an obstacle!"

A refined and extraordinary beauty can bring wealth and prosperity.

It brings in various forms of capital.

but……

Without the ability to protect oneself, beauty will only make life more miserable!

Lu Haoxue reached out and touched her face.

I'm thinking of ruining this face!

Living an ordinary yet dignified life is far more appealing than being beautiful.

"Does Young Master Lu intend to ruin this gift from heaven?"

“When these beautiful things become burdens, we still have to let go of what we should let go of!” Lu Haoxue said, picking up a stone from the ground.

He blew hard into his own face.

The butler reached out to stop him.

"Why doesn't Young Master Lu continue to stay at the Prince's residence?" the steward asked.

Lady Su in the mansion clearly takes good care of this little fool.

Why are you thinking of leaving?

The prince wasn't actually gay.

This peaceful place is perfect for reading.

"If there's no reason to bother you, you shouldn't continue to bother me!" It's always good to have some self-awareness.

If there's no reason to back down and we're stuck here, then there's nothing we can do.

"In that case, young master, you can stay by Pear Blossom Creek. That area is mostly farmhouses, with few disputes and a peaceful atmosphere. However, there are also no ways to make money there. If you want to exchange money, you'll have to travel quite a distance." The steward told Lu Haoxue what he knew.

Lu Haoxue thanked the butler and headed towards the Lu family home.

We arrived at the Lu family's residence late at night and entered through the side gate.

The Lu family was so wealthy that even their servants learned to swagger and act arrogantly.

Those who are not favored are ignored and treated harshly.

They might even make a veiled insult.

The Lu family is a very large family, with strict rules and regulations, seemingly a wealthy family, but... traces of a family that has rotted away at its core can be seen everywhere.

The two young ladies, who had just been driven back from the Regent's Palace, washed and bathed, and then asked for some nourishing food, so the kitchen in the mansion got busy.

Lu Haoxue returned home.

Seeing his mother, who was reluctant to even use the oil lamp, he opened the window and used the moonlight to sew and mend clothes.

“Mother, let’s move out. Here we have to embroider headbands for the madam and make shoes for the girls. We have to take care of everything inside and out. We don’t even have an oil lamp. This time when we leave, the eldest daughter gave me a few pieces of silver, enough for us to live on for two or three years. Over the years, we can support ourselves by sewing and mending.”

"Don't say such things. You're all grown up now, and your sister will be looking for a husband in a couple of years. If you stay here, you'll find a good match, and we can help you marry her off to a good family so she won't have to suffer in the future. But if you move out, without the Lu family to rely on, we..."

"Mother, with such a good family, would the Lu family really give it to us?"

Lu Haoxue pointed to herself: "Do you know what our son encountered this time?"

"..." Seeing that his elderly mother was still in a state of confusion.

Lu Haoxue simply told the princess why she had taken him away.

Fortunately, the prince dotes on that young master Su.

Otherwise... he'd be in trouble!

He, a man, was brought to Ah Zhong's place to do these things.

How good can a younger sister be?

He might even sell his sister.

"Mother, let's leave under the cover of night. They've just returned and haven't realized what's happening yet. If they do, we'll probably be taken into custody. Once they find out about the bad news surrounding the eldest and third young ladies, the Lu family won't let us off the hook."

"Then, let's go!"

Lu Haoxue's mother herself was not particularly knowledgeable.

Hearing Lu Haoxue's words, he panicked.

I felt that things were extremely urgent.

If we hadn't left sooner!

Who knows, we might not even see the sun tomorrow!

Of course... that's indeed the truth.

Which wealthy family would let someone who knows such negative news live? Lu Haoxue is pretty, so when they need her, they'll coax and deceive her; when they don't need her anymore, they'll just kill her. It's just a head anyway!

The three of them packed clothes and bedding. Lu Haoxue's mother carried a heavy bundle on her back. Lu Haoxue was in poor health and carried the books and writing materials he needed. His ten-year-old sister also carried a large bundle.

After nightfall.

The three people were hiding from someone.

Leave through the side gate.

Fortunately, the small courtyard where the three of them lived was rather desolate.

They were able to exit smoothly once they reached the side gate.

There was an oxcart hired by Lu Haoxue outside. They got on the cart and headed towards the Pear Blossom Creek.
