"Dad, is there something urgent that requires us two brothers to return to the city?" Lu Han asked casually.
Lu Zeyi said, "I didn't bring a cook with me this time. I saw that your grandfather couldn't get used to the food at the hot spring villa..."
"Grandfather is not picky about food. For lunch today, he not only ate the fish grilled by my brothers, but also praised the delicious food in the villa."
Lu Hankun agreed: "That's right, Second Uncle, Grandfather is used to the food in this villa."
"..." Lu Zeyi frowned slightly. These two guys are still trying to trick him.
With their brothers present, we can't take any action tonight and it will be a hindrance.
"The food here is good, but not as good as the exquisite dishes at our Luyuan Qionglou. After all, we have to stay here until the Su family arrives. We don't know how many days they will stay here. Your grandfather must take good care of himself. What if he gets sick from eating here?"
Lu Yao was now certain that their brothers were unaware of the situation. "Brother, Second Uncle is right. Grandfather's health is the most important thing. Should you and Brother Kun return to the city?"
Lu Hangan glanced at Lu Hankun and stuffed the amulet into Lu Yao's hand, "Sister Yaoer, remember to help me put the amulet on my grandfather."
"And mine!" Lu Hankun quickly stuffed the amulet in his hand into Lu Yao's hand.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, I will personally help you put these three amulets on your grandfather."
Lu Han looked at Lu Zeyi and said, "We'll go back to the city now. Send the cook over tonight!"
"No rush." Lu Zeyi said hurriedly, "Your grandfather loves tomato dishes. Send them over along with the cook before lunch tomorrow."
"good!"
When the two brothers left, Lu Zeyi asked two-thirds of the people that Si Chuyu had arranged to return with the car on the grounds that the road was unsafe.
Seeing the carriage go away, Lu Yao looked away and said, "Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I'm going to put the amulet on Grandfather."
Lu Zeyi smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Go, your grandfather should be awake by now."
Lu Yao bowed and left with Nuan Yu, followed not far behind by six people arranged by Si Chuyu.
"Second brother, there are six more people on our father's side. They are all from the eldest house, and they seem to be quite skilled."
Lu Zeyi said: "It's okay, just wait for Chen Ji to transfer the people over."
Nuan Yu glanced around and said, "Miss, Chen Ji hasn't shown up yet."
"Just wait, it will appear."
After Lu Yao finished speaking, she gently pushed the door open and entered the room.
"Yao'er, you're here."
At this time, Lu Shiyuan was sitting at the table, drinking tea slowly, being served by his servants.
"Grandfather, this is the amulet that my brother-in-law, Brother Kun, and I bought for you at Linghua Temple. Master Ci'en blessed it and it's very effective. It will definitely bring good luck and ward off misfortune."
Lu Shiyuan looked at the three amulets in front of him and was in a very good mood. "Hahaha... you guys are so thoughtful. In fact, having you by my side is a blessing."
"Then let me put it on you, Grandfather."
After a moment, Lu Shiyuan touched his chest and asked, "Where are your brother-in-law and Brother Kun?"
"They're worried that you won't be able to adapt to the food here, so they've already gone back to the city to bring their cook over."
The children were really filial and caring towards him. Not only did they buy him amulets for safety, they also cared about his appetite. Lu Shiyuan was instantly filled with happiness.
"The food here is quite to my liking. There's no need to make a long trip. I'd better wake up early and not let them go back to the city. I'm still looking forward to playing a game of chess with your brother."
"Grandfather, I'll play chess with you."
Lu Shiyuan: "I remember you don't know how to play chess."
Lu Yao said coquettishly, "Grandfather, can you teach me how to play chess? I'm very smart and I'm sure I'll learn it in no time."
The little granddaughter acted coquettishly towards him, and Lu Shiyuan had no way to refuse, so he happily agreed:
"Okay, okay, grandpa will teach you how to play chess."
＊
Lu Hangan and Lu Hankun felt sleepy as soon as they got in the carriage because they hadn't taken a nap.
One of them lay on the couch, and the other one lay on the coffee table and fell asleep carefree.
As the sun set in the west, the two slowly opened their eyes.
"Brother, aren't we in the carriage? Why are we here?"
At this time, the two brothers were in a bamboo house.
Lu Hangan woke up instantly and got out of bed alertly, followed by Lu Hankun.
"Brother, have we been kidnapped?"
Lu Han gestured for him to be quiet.
Then Lu Han quickly and slowly moved towards the door, wanting to find out what was going on outside.
With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open from the outside to the inside, and Lu Han stepped back subconsciously.
"You guys are awake now, come and eat roast pheasant."
Lu Zexu entered the bamboo house carrying a pheasant that was roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside.
Chen followed in with a pot of mushroom soup.
The couple placed the food on the bamboo table and looked at the two confused brothers.
Chen smiled and said, "What are you guys still standing there for? Come and eat."
"Aunt San, why are we here? Aren't you going back to the city before us?" Lu Han asked with a puzzled look.
Lu Hankun said something shocking, "I...were we kidnapped? The kind that requires ransom?"
Chen quickly pulled the two brothers to sit at the table, "Silly children, if we were kidnapped, we would be tied up and thrown into a small dark room without sunlight..."
Lu Zexu handed two pheasant legs to the two of them, "This is roasted by Uncle San himself. It's very fragrant and delicious. This place is not far from the hot spring villa. We have to rush back to the hot spring villa after we finish eating."
Lu Han glanced at the guards outside the door and sensed something was amiss. "Uncle San, we can't go back. We need to send the chef and the tomato dishes to the hot spring villa before lunch tomorrow."
"Someone will deliver the cook and tomato dishes to the villa tomorrow."
Lu Han felt that something was wrong. He clearly remembered that Third Aunt had to go back to take care of his eldest sister. There must be no false news. "Uncle, Aunt, please tell us what happened. Otherwise, we won't be able to eat."
Lu Zexu looked at Chen who was serving mushroom soup and said, "Madam, you go ahead and tell me."
Chen picked up the soup bowl and took a few sips before saying, "On our way back to the city today, we met someone from the eldest house who sent us here and told us to go back to the Hot Spring Villa to watch a big show that evening."
As for what big drama?
The couple saw that two-thirds of the guards escorting the two brothers back to the city were sent by Si Chuyu.
Thinking of Chen Ji's hurried look, he roughly guessed what was going on.
"What play?"
Chen shook her head. "Aunt San doesn't know either. We'll find out tonight..."
Chen paused, as if she had thought of something, and continued, "Two-thirds of the guards escorting you back to the city were from the eldest house. With so many of them leaving, there will be fewer people to protect your sister Yao'er."
Lu Han was startled, and only then did he realize that his father was acting abnormally.
"Uncle San and Aunt San, we must hurry back to the hot spring villa now!"
Lu Hangan pulled Lu Hankun and was about to walk out.
Lu Han was worried that his sister Yaoer's madness would relapse tonight, and he had to rush back to prevent this from happening.
"Sit down." Lu Zexu pulled him back. "Outside are all the main house and Si family members. Go back after nightfall."
