Cai Junze thought about it and decided that if he really wanted to agree to her request, he would need to go with her to Lu Mansion to see what the situation was.
"Please arrange a time." Cai Junze said.
"How about you come back with me this time?" Lu Qingyan looked at him, her eyes flickering slightly. "I don't know how much longer I have left to live, so I want to get this done sooner so I can feel at ease."
Cai Junze thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you have to wait a few days. I have to arrange things in the capital first before going to Jizhou City with you."
"Well, I'll wait for your news." Lu Qingyan said, "I come here to drink tea every day. When you have dealt with your affairs, come and find me directly here."
Cai Junze said: "Okay."
Then he got up and left.
Watching him leave, Lu Qingyan's eyes were full of complexity.
Finally, I tricked him into taking the bait, but...
Her heart, however, could not be at peace.
"Do you really want to lie to him like this?"
"But what can I do?"
"Cai Junze, I'm sorry, I didn't want to lie to you."
"But, for Wen'er, I really have no other choice..."
Thinking of this, her eyes became sore and tears rolled down her cheeks.
In the next few days, Cai Junze was busy with the affairs of several stores. After he had almost finished the matters at hand, he went to the agreed place to find Lu Qingyan.
As expected, Lu Qingyan was waiting for him there.
"Have you finished dealing with your affairs in the capital?" Lu Qingyan asked him.
Cai Junze nodded and said, "Let's go."
Lu Qingyan thought for a moment, her eyes gleaming as she looked at him and said, "I heard there's a kind of soft armor that can protect against swords and knives. Can you get some?"
Cai Junze was surprised: "What are you going to do?"
Lu Qingyan pursed her lips and said, "On the way from the capital to Jizhou City, there will be fierce bandits in some places along the way. I'm afraid something might happen. So, for your safety, it would be great if you could get a piece of soft armor like this to wear."
Cai Junze looked at her and said, "You've traveled back and forth from Jizhou City to the capital so many times, isn't everything okay?"
Lu Qingyan sighed, "That was in the past. These fierce bandits have only recently emerged... Although I haven't encountered them, I'm already dying, so it doesn't matter to me. As for you, you have to stay alive. I'm counting on you to help me manage the Lu Mansion in the future. So, if you can get the software I just mentioned and wear it on yourself, just in case, I'll feel much more at ease."
Cai Junze showed a helpless expression on his face and said, "I have heard of the soft armor you mentioned, but how can you get it just because you want it? This kind of thing is very precious! Even if you have money, you can't buy it all at once."
"Then ask Yang'er..." Lu Qingyan said, "Maybe he can get it."
"Forget it, I don't want to trouble him." Cai Junze waved his hand, "There are bandits as long as there are bandits, there is no need to be afraid of them. If it really doesn't work, let's hire more people to protect us."
Lu Qingyan frowned, then said, "I recently heard that a caravan passing by was robbed by bandits. In short, you have to be on guard against this."
Cai Junze always felt that what she said sounded strange, and said: "I need to be on guard, and you have to be on guard too. Why do I feel like, it seems that I am the only one who needs to be on guard, and you don't need to?"
Lu Qingyan took a sip of tea, trying to hide her emotions, and said, "Because I no longer care about life or death. After all, I'm just a dying person, what's there to be afraid of?"
Cai Junze: “…”
After thinking for a while, he said, "Forget about the soft armor. I'll make some preparations and get some self-defense gear on me."
Lu Qingyan nodded and said, "That's fine."
Cai Junze went back again.
"Jun Ze, I heard that you are leaving Beijing?" Liu Shuting came to find him when he heard that he was leaving Beijing.
"Well, let's go out and investigate the market." Cai Junze didn't say that he wanted to go to Lu's house with Lu Qingyan, but made up an excuse casually, "Our store hasn't been opened in many places yet, so I want to go out and take a look."
"Do you want me to go with you?" Liu Shuting asked.
