Han Yu was confused when she saw this scene. She did not stop, but quickly bypassed the chaotic scene and went straight into the yard.
"Master, Lu Ting'an is fighting with those officers outside!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jingxi smiled happily and dusted off his robe. "Lu Ting'an is so considerate. Let's go and take a look."
When Chen Jingxi and Han Yu arrived at the scene, they were stunned by the scene before them.
It's so abstract.
Lu Ting'an sat on an official, slapping him with both hands and cursing at him.
Others knelt and begged for mercy.
"Ahem, Lu Ting'an, you came pretty quickly and started working so quickly." Chen Jingxi coughed twice.
When Lu Ting'an heard Chen Jingxi's voice, he finally stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him, his eyes full of anger. "Chen Er, why did you ask me to come to this damn place?"
Chen Jingxi nodded at him and said, "It's because of what you are doing now."
Hearing this, Lu Ting'an became even more furious. He asked the servant to help him up and pointed at Chen Jingxi's nose and cursed, "How dare you play tricks on me?"
Chen Jingxi disagreed, "How can you say that? Weren't you having a lot of fun playing just now?"
When Lu Ting'an thought about it, he felt that there was some truth to it. He had been beaten up these past few days, and he had really let out a sigh of relief just now.
Regain your confidence.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his foot and kicked the chief officer again.
"Ouch, spare me! I didn't know you were my master."
Lu Ting'an asked again, "You asked me to come here just to let me beat up these people and then give me five thousand taels of silver?"
This sounds... a little too easy.
"Yeah, that's nice, isn't it?"
"You...are you really that good? Is there some conspiracy behind this?"
Chen Jingxi seemed to have anticipated Lu Ting'an's question. "You're worrying too much. Although I, Chen Er, am not a particularly kind person, I wouldn't do something so treacherous."
"Besides, I have an even better opportunity for you now, a chance that will make you famous. What do you think? Would you like to consider it?"
When Lu Ting'an heard this, curiosity and anticipation suddenly surged in his heart.
"An opportunity to become famous?" Lu Ting'an repeated Chen Jingxi's words, his tone somewhat tentative. "Tell me, what exactly is this opportunity?"
Chen Jingxi smiled and said slowly, "Do you know that a big event happened in the capital recently? An event that is enough to shake the entire capital."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ting'an shook his head and motioned Chen Jingxi to continue.
Chen Er lowered his voice and leaned close to Lu Ting'an's ear and said, "...When the time comes, you will not only get more silver, but also become famous in the capital and become a hero admired by everyone."
"Great hero?" Lu Ting'an repeated the word with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
He never thought he would be praised like this, let alone be called a "great hero".
"That's right, Lu Ting'an. The first time I saw you, I felt that you exuded a powerful aura, a noble temperament, and a look that was like a god descending from heaven. If you're not a great hero, who is?"
Chen Jingxi's words made Lu Ting'an feel a little elated. He straightened his back and nodded seriously.
"I think you are right." Lu Ting'an said, with a hint of pride and expectation in his voice.
He began to imagine the scene of himself becoming a great hero. The feeling of being admired and the center of attention made his heart surge.
"Now you have this opportunity, tell me whether you will do it or not."
Lu Ting'an said without a word, "Do it."
Chen Jingxi gave him a thumbs up, "Lu Ting'an, you are worthy of it!"
The officer standing by suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Lu, this is the affairs of the orphanage after all. I'm afraid it's not a good idea for you to interfere like this."
When Lu Ting'an heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
He turned around abruptly, slapped the officer in the face, and shouted angrily, "How dare you interfere in my affairs? Get out of my way!"
The officer was dizzy from the slap.
Chen Jingxi suddenly covered her mouth and started coughing.
Seeing this, Lu Ting'an asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Chen Jingxi sighed and said, "Just now, this group of people said they wanted to arrest me and put me in jail. I got angry and lost my temper."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ting'an was enraged and kicked the officer again, "Remember this! This is my brother Chen Er! I'll see who dares to touch him from now on."
The official rolled on the ground several times after being kicked, and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, spare my life! I have been blind and did not recognize a great man. Please be kind and spare me for once!"
"Get out of here." Lu Ting'an asked again, "What should I do now?"
Chen Jingxi said: "When you do good things, people should know about it."
Lu Ting'an thought it made sense. If you do good things but no one knows about it, then it would be in vain.
Chen Jingxi continued, "The conditions in this workhouse are too terrible. These children can't stay there any longer."
"My family has a yard in the east of the city."
Chen Wenyan patted his shoulder and praised him, "Lu Ting'an, you are indeed a responsible hero!"
When Lu Ting'an heard this, he immediately ordered, "Take all the children away from the house and send them to the courtyard in the east of the city."
"Yes." The servants came forward. Although they felt a little disgusted by the children's dirtiness, they still picked them up one by one.
The children had just eaten and were not crying. They just looked at the strangers with curiosity.
Lu Ting'an got on the sedan chair and looked at Chen Jingxi who was about to get on the carriage. He asked, "Brother Chen, aren't you coming with me?"
"How can I steal your thunder?"
Hearing this, Lu Ting'an smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you are indeed a particular person."
The group left the orphanage in a mighty procession.
As soon as he stepped into Yongyun Street, he immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
Everyone stopped to watch, whispering and talking.
"Who is this? Why are there so many children?"
"Yeah, what are you going to do?"
Just as everyone was puzzled, a servant walking in front suddenly struck the gong in his hand and shouted, "The Third Young Master of Duke Lu's Mansion, seeing injustice and seeing the abuse of abandoned babies in the orphanage, has come to rescue these innocent children."
This shout immediately made the passers-by around suddenly realize what was going on.
They all looked at him with admiration, and the discussion became more heated.
"It turns out to be Master Lu! I didn't expect Master Lu to be such a righteous man."
"I always thought he was a playboy. This is my biggest misunderstanding of him!"
"I've heard about the abuse of abandoned babies in the orphanage for a long time, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu to personally help."
"Mr. Lu is truly a role model for our generation. He is truly admirable!"
With every word of praise, Lu Ting'an felt more and more that he would achieve great things.
Chu Jingxun, who was sitting by the window of a teahouse facing the street, saw this scene and raised his eyebrows, "Why is it Lu Ting'an?"
The man in black clothes beside him bowed and said, "I will go check it out right away."
