Chapter 197 Our Master Sends Gifts to the Lu Family
Upon seeing this, the Lu family members immediately became nervous.
They were just ordinary people after all. How could they not be worried when they saw government officials and soldiers getting involved?
Lu Erbai hurriedly tried to step forward, but his legs were not strong enough, and he was stopped by Shu Yu after taking two steps.
"Father, I'll go take a look."
Even so, when Shu Yu walked towards the crowd, Lu Erbai, supported by Lu Dasong, walked forward with a worried expression.
The crowd had automatically parted to make way, and Lu Dongjia was still lying in his waiter's arms, looking quite pale.
The lead soldier asked, "What exactly happened?"
When the soldier asked him a question, the man couldn't help but tremble slightly, unsure of where to begin.
However, the crowd around them had already begun to recount the whole story, and someone even pointed to Lu Shuyu, who had already walked up to them.
The two soldiers frowned, exchanged a glance, and then the soldier in the lead suddenly raised his hand. "Wait, your chatter is giving me a headache, and I don't understand much of what you're saying."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the waiter and said, "You should speak first, and everyone else should refrain from interrupting."
The waiter was taken aback. He felt his employer, who was lying on the ground, tug at his clothes without making a sound. He took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to speak.
No sooner had he opened his mouth than the soldier said, "Let's wait a moment. I have something to take care of. We can talk properly after I'm done."
The man couldn't get down in one breath, and his face turned red.
But he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod reluctantly.
The officers then looked up, scanned the crowd, and asked, "Is Mr. Lu, the owner of the Yiren Pavilion clothing shop on Ningshui Street, here?"
"Yes, yes." Lu Erbai had already stepped forward. He pushed Shu Yu back and faced the two soldiers himself.
Shu Yu glanced at him helplessly. Even though he could barely stand with his cane, he gave off an exceptionally tall and imposing aura.
She didn't say anything in the end, nor did she move forward; she simply looked up at the two soldiers.
The soldier standing at the back stepped forward, looked Lu Erbai up and down, and then laughed, "So you're the Lu family's boss? Our lord heard that today is the opening day of the Lu family's shop, so he sent us to deliver a congratulatory gift. Our lord has just arrived in Jiangyuan County and is very busy, so he sent us on this trip."
"ha?"
Lu Erbai, who had already prepared for the worst, was stunned when he heard these words.
Not only him, but the rest of the Lu family and the onlookers were also completely bewildered.
What did they hear? Were the two soldiers here to deliver gifts to the Lu family?
Is the newly appointed acting magistrate, Lord Xiang, related to the Lu family?
The officers and soldiers were still holding gift boxes. Seeing Lu Erbai standing there in a daze, they couldn't help but hand them over, "Master Lu? Take it."
"Huh? Oh, oh." Lu Erbai suddenly came to his senses and reached out to take the gift box.
Unlike the large and heavy gift box that Lu Dongjia had sent before, this box in my hand was quite small and light, but its contents were not to be underestimated.
Lu Erbai took a deep breath. Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, he figured it must be related to Shu Yu. Apart from Doctor Xu, everyone who came to offer their congratulations today was someone Shu Yu knew.
So after accepting the gift box, he smiled and said to the two men, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. You two have worked hard too. Please come in and have a cup of tea."
