Chapter 25 What nonsense are you talking about?
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?! We've only gone a short distance and you've already given away all your money!"
Her back was in terrible pain, and when she spoke, she grimaced and looked somewhat ferocious.
"I still call you Mother today because of your nurturing kindness over the years."
Zhaozhao is my daughter, and this money was a gift from Peiwen. You have no right to interfere!
"That damned girl just came back and caused everyone to be exiled and die!"
"I absolutely disagree with you giving away the money! If you dare to give it away, don't ever call me 'Mother' again!"
Last night they were still thinking about how to get her money back, but today she gave it away.
How could she be willing to let the money that was almost in her mouth slip away?
Xu Qingyi finally saw through these people.
No matter how bad they were in the past, they were still family.
Only now do I realize that all that was before was just a facade of harmony maintained in front of my father and the prince.
"Fine! Anyway, you said I'm not a member of the Xu family. From now on, I am Xu Qingyi."
"I have nothing more to do with you, Xu Chenshi! Anan, hand over the money! Today, no one can stop me from saving my daughter!"
The officers were overjoyed to see them arguing.
The prisoners are not united, so they won't cause any major trouble.
Good.
Just as he was about to take the money, he heard a child's voice coming from outside the courtyard.
"Mother! Zhaozhao is back!"
Xu Yinan paused as he handed over the silver. He turned around and saw a man carrying his niece as he entered. He quickly took the silver back.
Xu Yifei was overjoyed and rushed to Yun Zhao.
"Zhaozhao! Uncle's Zhaozhao! Are you alright?"
He took Yun Zhao from Lu Xun's arms, lifted her high, and looked her up and down.
"Zhaozhao!"
Before Yun Zhao could speak, he was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.
Xu Qingyi hugged Yun Zhao very tightly, as if she wanted to embed Yun Zhao into her own body.
Yun Zhao felt a lump in her throat and clutched her mother's clothes tightly.
"Mother..."
"It's all my fault, I failed to catch Zhaozhao and she got frightened. Come, let me see if she's hurt!"
"Thanks to Uncle Lu and Brother Lu, they scared the bad guys away!"
Only then did everyone realize that the people who brought Yun Zhao back were a father and son.
"Thank you so much! It's all thanks to you that the child was saved!"
Xu Yifei held the other person's hand, deeply grateful.
"Mother, Uncle Lu is also going to Lingnan. I beg Uncle Lu to come with us."
They're really good; in just a few swift moves, they chased all the bad guys away!
Yun Zhao waved his little fists, pretending to be fierce, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Wei Jingchen walked over at that moment, "It's good that Zhaozhao is alright. Your family was so worried about you."
"Brother Jingchen~"
Yun Zhao called out to him sweetly.
"Thanks to Uncle Lu and Brother Lu!"
"Is that so? It seems Zhao Zhao has met a benefactor!"
Wei Jingchen smiled as he looked at the Lu family father and son, but they were suddenly stunned.
"Uncle Lu?"
Yun Zhao tilted his head in confusion.
What's wrong?
"Uncle Lu, do you know Brother Jingchen?"
Lu Xun immediately came to his senses and laughed, "I don't recognize you. You must be tired from traveling these past few days."
After exchanging a glance with Lu Li, the father and son looked away.
Xu Qingyi wiped away her tears and turned to look at Xu Yinan.
"Anan, give this silver to our benefactor!"
"Alright! Brother Lu, my name is Xu Yinan. Thank you for saving us. This is just a small token of our family's appreciation. It's not much, please accept it!"
After saying that, he stuffed all the silver he had prepared for the officials into Lu Xun's hands.
"Xu Yinan, are you crazy?!"
Madam Xu couldn't help but scream.
The silver is all in his hands. If he doesn't give it to the officials, he can just keep it.
"This is my niece's savior. I can't even accept this much!"
Xu Yinan turned his head and glared fiercely at Old Madam Xu.
"Being kidnapped for no reason and then suddenly returned unharmed, who knows if it was these two who did it?"
Xu Qingshi sized up the father and son with a malicious look on her face.
"Judging by his build, he looks similar to the thief who kidnapped Yun Zhao!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Li glanced at her. Although they were about the same age, Lu Li was a man who had traveled the martial arts world and killed people. One look from him could make Xu Qingshi's hair stand on end.
She hurriedly hid behind her brother, too afraid to speak again.
"Young Master Lu, please don't take offense. We have no connection with these people anymore. This is just a token of our gratitude; it has nothing to do with them!"
"I was just helping out when I saw injustice, there's no need to give me these. I think you all need money to protect yourselves now."
Lu Xun did not accept the silver; there was a reason why they followed the entourage.
Yun Zhao was even less willing to use money to buy out the bond.
"Mother, when are we leaving?"
Xu Qingyi had no idea that she had said she would leave immediately after finishing her shopping in the morning.
But Yun Zhao suddenly had an accident, and not only did he not leave, the officials themselves had not yet made any purchases.
Gao Minglang was the first to ask a question.
"Now that the child has been found, can we go shopping?"
Luo Qing's expression was not good, and he said coldly, "Purchasing? I wish I could pack you all up right now."
Send them directly to Lingnan! Go and call them back; they'll depart in fifteen minutes!
Gao Minglang frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, but said nothing more.
Since non-official personnel were not allowed to stay at the inn, the Lu family father and son naturally could not stay there.
Xu Qingyi was truly terrified this time, clinging to Yun Zhao and refusing to let go.
"Mommy, I want to play with Brother Lu!"
Since we're traveling together, there's no reason for them to keep going all the way.
Moreover, Zhichun and the others have acquired many more belongings, and it might not be safe for four women to walk on the road.
It's time to expose them.
We can't just buy so much stuff and then let them go hungry on the way, can we?
"Okay, Mother will stay with you!"
"Then I'll go upstairs and pack my things!"
Xu Yifei took his two younger brothers with him, but Luo Qing called him back.
"Put the shackles back on!"
This guy is like a bear; he can tear open shackles with his bare hands. We have to make him put them back on right away!
At this moment, Yun Zhao and Lu Xun realized that the shackles on Xu Yifei's feet had actually been broken!
"Your uncle was worried about you and accidentally tore it."
Accidentally, it broke?
These two terms are too niche.
"Torn off with bare hands?"
Lu Xun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yes, my older brother is naturally stronger."
Xu Yinan laughed heartily.
Lu Xun murmured incredulously, "Truly a gifted individual!"
Hearing the praise in Lu Xun's tone, Yun Zhao pondered to himself.
This might even help my uncle find a mentor!
"The Xu family has ancestors who were born with superhuman strength, it's probably a family tradition! Hahahaha!"
The three brothers didn't take it to heart.
After her uncles left, Yun Zhao whispered in her mother's ear.
"Mother, Zhao Zhao and Sister Zhi Xia bought so many things. Can Uncle Lu go and protect Sister Zhi Chun and the others?"
Xu Qingyi looked at her in astonishment.
"I just heard it~ Mother and Grandmother have broken off their relationship. Mother, Grandmother doesn't like Zhao Zhao. Can Zhao Zhao not like her either?"
In the end, Yun Zhao lowered her head in grievance, pouting, looking extremely pitiful.
