To their utter surprise, they hadn't gone far...
Then they saw two servants from the Lü family hurrying towards the restaurant.
Qin Luo picked up Wu Hua and followed behind them until they reached the back gate of the restaurant.
Then the storyteller's servant handed them a money bag.
"Your story is quite good. This is the reward I promised you. If you encounter any more strange or unusual events in the future, remember to come and find me again!"
The two accepted the money bag, exchanged a few polite words, and then took their leave, running frantically towards the inn.
Qin Luo actually admired them quite a bit, considering the chaotic scene last night.
And to still be thinking about making money by writing stories, he's truly born to make money!
Wu Hua was also deeply moved.
"These two are truly extraordinary; they're incredibly clever!"
Qin Luo tilted her head to look at it.
"I don't understand why Teacher Zaizai would say that!"
Wu Hua put her hands behind her back and took two steps, imitating Qin Liang's teaching gait.
"The reason these two did this is to save their own lives. Look at how fast the news spreads today, isn't it?"
Qin Luo nodded vigorously: "Quickly!"
Wu Hua pointed towards the entrance of the restaurant again.
"Look at the people listening to the story today. Most of them are merchants coming and going. This matter will probably reach the capital soon!"
Qin Luo understood and couldn't help but admire their intelligence.
"The people who follow the eldest son are really clever! They quickly sent the message back, and Lu Simian's mother will definitely be questioned by his father, so she won't have time to cause trouble for them. At that time, the two of them can take Lu Siqing back, which can be considered as making amends. Lord Lu will definitely protect them for the sake of his youngest son!"
"More than that! As long as the letter reaches my brother's father and they gain my brother's trust, they won't have to endure Lü Simian's oppression in the Lü family in the future, and they can also enjoy the treatment of personal servants. No matter how you look at it, it's a win!"
Qin Luo wanted to applaud the two of them. People with brains like that shouldn't be servants; they should be taking the imperial examinations!
What a class barrier! It ruined the chances of two newly appointed top scorers!
Just as Qin Luo was considering whether or not to tell Lü Siqing about this, she heard his voice.
"Brother, younger brother, what are you doing here!"
Qin Luo saw him and asked curiously, "We're eating here, what brings you here?"
"Oh, I saw those two servants run out. I guessed they were trying to get the news to the capital, so they made an excuse to come out and see if there was anything they could do to help!"
Qin Luo was once again amazed by the ingenuity of the ancients; how could they all be so intelligent?
He was just thinking about how to tell him the story, with the elm wood on his shoulder as a shield.
It turns out they already knew, and were always ready to help out.
She looked at Lü Siqing with a serious expression, feeling like she was making a joke.
"Young man, promise me! You will definitely pass the imperial examination with flying colors. I think that won't be too difficult for you. But you should still be wary of those two servants. If all else fails, find a way to release them from slavery after you return to the capital! It's better to be on good terms than to keep traitors by your side!"
Knowing that she was thinking of him, Lü Siqing bowed deeply to her.
"Don't worry, brother, Siqing understands!"
Finally, the two of them took him to eat something before returning to the inn.
Upon entering the inn, the three saw Lü Simian surrounded by a group of people.
Some people hurled insults, some threw stones, and some even spat at him.
Lu Simian was able to move slightly; he curled up into a ball, covering his head, looking rather pitiful.
Qin Luo patted Lü Siqing on the shoulder, his tone serious.
"Little brother, it's time for you to shine. The capital's attitude is unclear right now, so you must first become its savior!"
Lu Siqing nodded emphatically to her, and then shouted to the crowd.
"Spare my brother! If you have a problem, come at me!"
Without looking back, she ran towards Lü Simian, threw herself into his arms, and her face was full of concern.
"Brother, are you alright? Where are the servants? I told them to take care of you before I went to the toilet, but they're nowhere to be found?"
When Lü Simian saw him, it was like seeing a savior; he hugged him tightly.
She stammered, her words indistinct, "You...you...why...only came back now! Waaaaah~"
Lu Siqing gently patted his back and softly coaxed him.
"It was my fault. I'll try my best to hold it in next time and never leave you alone again!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Simian cried even louder.
"Waaaaah! You...you said it! Waaaaah~"
"Yes, I said it. Brother, don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
These words plunged Lü Simian into deep self-reproach, making him feel that his initial thoughts were simply inhuman!
The onlookers were also moved by Lü Siqing; she was such a small, thin person...
He stood in front of his brother without any fear, which was truly heartbreaking.
They stopped cursing, stopped throwing stones, and even the one spitting stopped. Gradually, they dispersed...
Qin Luo and Wu Hua both wanted to go back to the Lü family mansion in the capital with Lü Siqing.
These two brothers are both so interesting; their family must be like a movie theater every day.
However, the two of them only thought about it, watching the family put on a show every day.
You'll definitely get tired of it in less than three days! It's not worth the trip to the capital for just a few days.
Lü Simian has woken up, so he can no longer sleep on the floor.
The innkeeper absolutely refused to let him stay in a guest room, and the Taoist priest and monk he had hired also tried to persuade him.
"Young master, a villain like him must not be allowed to enjoy himself! He must be constantly tormented to cleanse himself of his sins!"
