Liu Mu asked impatiently again: "Lu Erlang, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Nothing!" Lu Xian came back to his senses all of a sudden. He tried to be as relaxed as possible, but his smile was a little stiff.

Liu Mu stared at him deeply, his fingers on his knees bent and moved, and he slowly changed the subject.

When Lu Erlang left the Hengyang Palace with sweat on his back, his suspicions about himself did not diminish in the slightest. After leaving the palace and returning to the Lu family, he was in a trance for two hours, and he still felt uneasy. Evidence cannot be based on guesswork alone, there must be corroboration. After some hesitation, Lu Erlang called his servants over: "You all go to Taichu Palace as fast as you can and intercept those Taoists sent into the palace by the Hengyang Palace! Replace them with our people, and don't let the Hengyang King find out. You take the people to a secret place, I want to interrogate those Taoists..."

Less than half an hour later, Liu Mu, who was standing in his own mansion with his hands behind his back looking at the scenery in the courtyard, received a hesitant report from his subordinates: "Sir, you are right. The Lu family really sent someone to Taichu Palace secretly..."

Liu Mu frowned.

He said calmly, "Strange... I want to see what Lu Erlang wants to do. Does he really know that there is something wrong with those Taoist priests? He is so stupid, how can he see the problem? What is his basis for doubting me? Did I show a flaw in front of him? Or does the Hengyang Palace have Lu's spies?"

He glanced at his subordinates with his fierce eyes. They were horrified and knelt down in cold sweat to cry out for justice. But Liu Mu just looked at them solemnly without saying a word. In the hot summer of June, the subordinates were sweating profusely - since the day when the young master came back, they had no faith in them. The young master seemed to be more and more irritable, and the look in his eyes when he looked at them became more and more gloomy...

I'm really afraid that one day the young master will no longer be able to bear it and take action against them...

Full of fear! What should they do?

…

Luo Lingyu naturally didn't know that her second cousin had saved her from a disaster. She didn't have the illustrious background of Lu Erlang, which made the Prince of Hengyang cautious. If she had gone to the Prince of Hengyang's mansion, she might not have been able to return safely like Lu Erlang. Luo Lingyu has been busy these days, firstly, with the accounts of her cosmetics shop, and secondly, accompanying Lu Sanlang to recuperate and take care of him who has difficulty in moving.

Her cosmetics shop was gradually getting on track, and she had to help with many things she didn't understand. But she was strong-willed and refused to admit that she was inferior to others, so she naturally spent a lot of time studying behind the scenes. It was not easy to run her cosmetics shop, and Lu Sanlang was not someone who could be easily dismissed. Working like this day and night, she was a little exhausted. But she had another worry that made her worry.

Lingxi hesitated for a long time, and finally told Luo Lingyu hesitantly that he seemed to have met Qin Mu.

Luo Lingyu was shocked and took the initiative to go to Mrs. Lu's courtyard to ask her. Mrs. Lu was also busy these two days. After Mrs. Lu complained about the relationship between Lu Sanlang and Luo Niangzi, she suddenly found that many of the men in their family were not married. The first to be affected were Lu Erlang and Lu Xian.

When Luo Lingyu came to ask for a meeting, Mrs. Lu was looking through the list of girls in Jianye in annoyance. She read the most famous "Flower Goddess Book" again and again. This is the trouble of not having girls at home and not liking to go out and socialize - Mrs. Lu can't tell the character of any girl just by looking at the list and the picture album.

Luo Lingyu stood in the hall, looked for a while, and said with a smile: "…If Madam is overwhelmed by the choices, why don't I find a reason to invite the sisters to the Lu family for a banquet? If Madam likes it, tell me quietly, and I will talk to the girl more and let Madam see if it is feasible."

Mrs. Lu was delighted: "That's great! You are really helping your cousin. He will remember your kindness."

It is indeed much more convenient to have a clever young girl at home. How can it be more comfortable to invite a girl to play at home than to go out to see a girl?

They were happy with each other and discussed the details of the banquet. Luo Lingyu then asked what was going on with Qin Mu.

After a pleasant chat with her cousin, Mrs. Lu finally remembered this person: "...Oh, yes. I was afraid that you would not be used to living at home, so I sent someone to Nanyang to find out what you were avoiding. Your wet nurse cares about you and asked to come with the ship. You two should be able to meet each other."

Luo Lingyu smiled gratefully: "Thank you, ma'am."

In fact, how could Mrs. Lu send people to Nanyang to inquire because she was worried that she would not be used to living there? Perhaps she sent people to Nanyang because she was afraid that she would do something wrong and bring harm to the Lu family?

It's good for both of you to know these things, there's really no need to say them out loud.

The maid Lingxi was waiting outside with great admiration. When she saw Luo Lingyu come out, she had already brought out Qin, whom she had been unable to approach before. Qin followed the tall and thin girl, and kept wiping away her tears with her hands. Luo Lingyu said goodbye to the maids such as Luyao who had escorted her out of the hospital in a graceful manner, with a smile on her lips the whole time.

Luo Lingyu and others led Qin Mu away.

She walked faster and faster.

They couldn't get to Xuesuyuan in time. On the way, they stood by the lake and looked for no one to notice them. Luo Lingyu told the maids to keep watch while she pulled Qin into the reed bushes by the lake. Luo Lingyu asked anxiously, "Nurse, is there something wrong in Nanyang? Didn't we agree that you would live there in old age? Why are you here?"

"There won't be any war in Nanyang, right?"

"No, no!" Qin Ai hurriedly comforted Luo Lingyu. Seeing her daughter was extremely excited, she stared at her increasingly bright face, tears welling in her eyes as she choked up and said, "Everything is fine, everything is fine! Madam Luo is fine, and the girls are all fine too..."

Luo Lingyu said angrily: "Then why are you crying? You scared me!"

Qin Ai cried: "But that Fan Lang..."

Fan Lang!

Luo Lingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and she said uncomfortably: "Why mention him? I've already arrived at Jianye... I've already said that I will get married soon, so don't worry about me!"

Qin said anxiously, "But it's almost half a year... Madam, please don't lie to me! I asked the servants of the Lu family, and no one said that you are about to get pregnant."

Luo Lingyu's cheeks were slightly red.

She was a little shy: "I didn't lie to you...it's just that the man I like is difficult to deal with and I can't conquer him in a short time..."
