Chapter 486 Shu Yu's Background Revealed
Xiang Weinan was stunned. The old people nowadays are really ruthless and wicked. How could they think of something like this?
He was even more troubled, rubbing his temples as he said, "What are you thinking? This is a place you can go whenever you want. Without a travel permit, you can't even get through the city gates."
"Then let's not go in. Let's go deep into the mountains and forests, to places where no one is around. We'll find a way."
Xiang Weinan, “…” The Lu family is really something, they even have the idea of going deep into the mountains and forests, how naive.
He looked down at the Lu family members below, but saw that they all had firm eyes and did not seem to be joking at all. It was as if they planned to take action as soon as they left the county government office.
Unfortunately, Xiang Weinan couldn't do anything to them, especially the old lady. She was old and looked unwell. If he used force, she might die here.
Truly... no wonder they are Lu Shuyu's family.
He regretted agreeing to let Lu Shuyu take care of them; look at the trouble he had brought upon himself.
Having said all that, the old lady didn't press him any further. She stood up unsteadily and turned to leave.
If Xiang Weinan lets them leave through this door, something bad is bound to happen.
Now that things have come to this, even if he doesn't admit it, the Lu family won't believe him.
"Fine, I'll tell you then."
The Lu family members immediately stopped and turned around.
He pointed to the seats in the lobby and said to Wei Nan, "Alright, everyone, sit down."
Da Niu and Da Ya quickly moved the chairs that were scattered on both sides to the front. The matter was serious, so it was best not to be too loud. If they sat closer and spoke softly, they could still be heard.
Xiang Weinan, “…” These must all be bad habits he learned from Lu Shuyu.
After everyone was seated, Xiang Weinan frowned, unsure of where to begin.
The entire Lu family stared at him, remaining silent.
After a long while, Xiang Weinan finally asked, "Miss Lu didn't tell you about her life before returning to the Lu family, or who her adoptive parents were, did she?"
The old lady said that her adoptive parents were ordinary families with a little money.
Xiang Weinan shook his head, "That's no small amount of money. Before she returned home, Miss Lu was the prefect of Dong'an Prefecture and the third daughter of the Shu family."
The old lady and the others stared in astonishment. The third daughter of the prefect's family?
So, her adoptive parents were the prefect?
Xiang Weinan continued, "It's true that she has a master, the one Lu Erbai met, the abbot of Dongqing Temple. The abbot of Dongqing Temple had some doubts after meeting Lu Erbai and Miss Lu more than a year ago, so he investigated her background and told Miss Lu about it."
He didn't mention that Shu Yu left Dong'an Prefecture because she was killed by the Shu family, otherwise the Lu family would definitely know that she had a bad life before, and she would probably be hit hard again.
He was afraid that if he continued to criticize her, the old lady wouldn't be able to handle it, so he mostly downplayed the seriousness of his remarks.
"You'll know what happened next. Miss Lu came back to find you and reunited with you," Xiang Weinan said. "However, not long ago, something happened to the Shu family. Prefect Shu was investigated for embezzlement and bribery. He was beheaded, and the rest of the Shu family were exiled to the southwest."
"Although Miss Lu is not the biological daughter of the Lu family, she has lived in the Shu family for fourteen years. In name, she is the daughter of the Shu family. Even if she is an adopted daughter, she is still on the list of those to be exiled."
