Previously, the Lu family's side branches and servants were hoping that other buyers would be unwilling to buy the Lu family because they were relatives of criminal officials, for fear that they would cause them unnecessary trouble at any time.
In this way, the money they have on hand can barely buy back all the members of the Lu family.
But now the development of things was completely beyond their expectations. Not only did the Lu family not become "worthless" because of their status as the family of a criminal official, but they somehow attracted two groups of people who were desperately trying to raise the price.
The Lu family's side branches and servants were short of money, and when the price was raised to more than fifty taels, the leaders Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan began to tremble. When Yuheng called out the high price of one hundred taels, they were even more desperate.
However, even though they had given it their all, they still could not compete with the wealthy Zhenbei Palace.
As for the other group of people, they still had some spare money, but they really couldn't stand Yu Zizhen's increasingly ferocious expression and increasingly fierce eyes.
They always felt that if they continued to compete with the other party, the other party would most likely separate their heads and bodies without anyone noticing after leaving the human city.
Completing the mission is certainly important, but even if they cannot complete it, they can still find some reasons to mitigate their guilt, and the masters behind them will not kill them all for this reason.
But Yu Zizhen was obviously different. They could feel that Yu Zizhen had already developed murderous intentions towards them.
Between being punished and dying, they wisely chose the former.
Then, before they could participate in the second round of bidding, they felt an itch all over their bodies for unknown reasons.
The moment the officials started auctioning Lu Huaiyi's eldest grandson Lu Wenzhen, they were so itchy that they rolled around without caring about their image.
In this case, they naturally cannot bid anymore.
Upon hearing the news, the clerk in charge of the city rushed over and hurriedly had them sent to a nearby clinic.
Without them interfering in the middle, the auction prices finally returned to normal.
In the end, the Lu family's side branches and servants spent all their money to buy Lu Huaiyi's eldest grandson Lu Wenzhen, youngest son Lu Mingzhuo, and daughter Lu Mingxian.
When it came to Lu Huaiyi's daughters-in-law Zheng, Liang and Lu Huaiyi's wife Pang, they only had a few taels of silver left. Not to mention buying all three of them, they couldn't even buy one of them.
Yu Zizhen, who had never competed with them, gave Yuheng a wink at this moment. Yuheng took the order and started bidding again.
Among the bidders, there are many people with dirty minds who want to buy the former wives and daughters of officials to satisfy their own dirty desires. Whether it was Lu Mingxian in the past, or the Zheng, Liang, and Pang families now, they are all much more popular than Lu Huaiyi's children and grandchildren.
The Lu family's side branches and servants used most of the silver they had to buy Lu Mingxian, while Yu Zizhen spent a total of more than 300 taels to buy the Zheng, Liang and Pang families, who were coveted by many people.
From the attitude of Yu Zizhen and others who simply refused to bid against them during the first four auctions, the Lu family's side branches and servants had a strong intuition that Yu Zizhen and others had no ill will towards their Lu family.
In addition, Lu Huaiyi's grandson Lu Wenbo and three female members of the Lu family, Zheng, Liang and Pang, were all bought by Yu Zizhen. After the auction, the side branches and servants of the Lu family all plucked up the courage and went to Yu Zizhen and others.
Yu Zizhen was actually waiting for them. Now that she had bought the person back, she no longer had to worry about others deliberately targeting her at all costs and preventing her from rescuing her just because she had contact with the Lu family.
What she had to do now was, first, to tell the women, children, branches and loyal servants of the Lu family that before she came to Ren City, she had sent the exiled Lu Huaiyi and his two sons off; second, to discuss with them the future survival of the Lu family members who remained in Beijing.
After settling the money for the bribe, Yu Zizhen signaled Feng Yuan and the others to bring the brothers Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan, who were originally military generals but were now civilians, to her.
"My name is Lu Mingxuan/Lu Mingyuan, and I'm here to meet the Crown Prince." To be cautious, the two men wanted to kneel down the moment they saw Yu Zizhen.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Yu Zizhen gestured to Feng Yuan and another guard to stop the two men. "This is not the place to talk. If you two don't mind, why don't you take your people and leave with us first?"
Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingyuan had exactly this in mind. Although they were short of money and could not buy out Lu Wenbo and the Zheng, Liang, and Pang families, this did not mean that they were not worried about these four people.
The choice was made because of their limited abilities, and it was also a helpless act that made them heartbroken. The guilt they felt towards Lu Wenbo and the Zheng, Liang, and Pang families was so full that it almost drowned the entire city.
It was rare that Yu Zizhen was so easy to talk to and willing to let them go with him. The two of them almost wanted to kowtow to Yu Zizhen to express their gratitude.
Yaoyao bowed to Lu Huaiyi's wife Pang Shi, and one of them picked up Lu Wenzhen and the other picked up Lu Mingzhuo, and their eyes turned to Lu Wenbo who was bought by Yu Zizhen.
Yu Zizhen gave Feng Yuan a look, and Feng Yuan immediately accepted his fate and picked up the precious little baby that his son had spent 180 taels to buy.
The three little ones were all looked after, and the women of the Lu family supported each other. Yu Zizhen also asked the other guards to surround them all in the middle of the team to prevent them from being bumped into by those who were not paying attention while walking.
The group left the human city in a mighty procession, and Yu Zizhen sent them to the best inn in the surrounding area.
A small courtyard was rented in the inn for the Lu family to wash and change clothes, while Yu Zizhen herself took Yuheng, Yaoguang and her guards to the small courtyard next door.
Pang's wet nurse, Qin Ma, went with Lu Mingxuan, Lu Mingyuan and Feng Yuan, who had some free time, to buy new clothes and medicine for the Lu family. Before they left, Yu Zizhen gave Feng Yuan a silver note worth one hundred taels for them to spend.
With the system's live broadcast, Yu Zizhen already knew that the reason the women of the Lu family were disheveled and their hair was messy was not because they had encountered bad things, but because they risked their lives to resist those evil-minded villains.
In addition, Lu Huaiyi has always been kind to others. Although those who have received his favors dare not openly oppose the Lu family or stand on their side in a high-profile manner, they are still willing to do small things like taking care of the Lu family in private.
Therefore, before the tragedy happened, the women of the Lu family were openly reprimanded and secretly protected by the Dali Temple officials who arrived in time.
Of course, those guys who suffered losses were unwilling to give up. This is why so many people rushed to bid today, causing Yu Zizhen and the Lu brothers to lose money in the subsequent six auctions.
