Chapter 487 The Lu Family Breaks Through Their Defenses
The matter was actually very simple, and the Lu family understood it immediately.
They understood, but they just couldn't comprehend it. "Ayu didn't do anything wrong, so why should she be exiled too? Who made the judgment? I... I'll beat the drum and appeal for justice."
Xiang Weinan calmed down and said, "I advise you not to cause any unnecessary trouble, otherwise you will only harm her."
The Lu family members were startled and looked up at him.
Xiang Weinan naturally couldn't tell them that Shu Yu's trip to the southwest had other entanglements; the matter was too complicated for the Lu family to know.
Lu Erbai was silent for a moment, then said, "Ayu, did you already know you would be exiled? She went to the prefectural city voluntarily, didn't she?"
Xiang Weinan nodded, "Yes, the court cannot be hasty in its investigation. The Shu family has lost someone for no reason. Of course they will come looking for her. The place where the old woman from the Ruan family sold her more than ten years ago is around Jiangyuan County. They will find this place sooner or later. Miss Lu did not want to expose you, and was even more worried that it would implicate you. That's why she took the initiative to appear in Dong'an Prefecture before they found this place, so that they could arrest her and take her back."
Upon hearing this, the Lu family members instantly broke down, and even Da Niu wiped his red eyes forcefully.
Ruan pounded her chest twice, "How could she be so stupid? Our Ayu, she didn't tell us anything, she didn't say anything."
“We thought she was just going on a long trip, and we were hoping she would be happy, work hard, eat well, and not worry about us while she was away.”
“But she’s suffering now, and we know nothing about it. She’s been wronged so much. Ah Yu…”
Ruan was sobbing that she almost fainted, and Daya was also covered in tears, too weak to even help her up.
The old woman looked down at her hands. "She left all her money behind. She said she had a lot of money, but she left it all to us. She didn't leave herself any way out. She'll never come back in this lifetime."
The Lu family wept bitterly. They had been clinging to a sliver of hope, but now it was all gone.
Xiang Weinan was increasingly troubled. How could someone like Lu Shuyu not have a way out for herself? She must have a lot of money. The Lu family was just worrying for nothing.
He simply couldn't empathize.
After the Lu family had finished crying, Xiang Weinan finally spoke up, "Actually, she wasn't as miserable as you all said."
The Lu family members suddenly raised their heads. Even if the person in front of them was the county magistrate they used to fear, he had to bear their anger now.
Xiang Weinan was so angry he laughed. "You don't believe what I'm saying? Miss Lu is my friend, after all. Do you think I'd just stand by and watch something happen to her?"
He stood up and sneered, "She was indeed exiled, but I had already sent people to take care of her along the way. I can always handle such a small matter. You think the two bodyguards are fake? Let me tell you, she does have two people following her, and they will take good care of her."
However, these two are not female bodyguards, but rather more attentive male bodyguards.
Upon hearing his words, the Lu family members all stopped crying and looked up at him.
"Then, is it true that Ayu said she'll be back in six months?"
Xiang Weinan, “…” Who can be sure about that? There are always unexpected things in life.
