Lu Erlang smiled and said it was just a dream and asked her not to think too much about it.

But Luo Lingyu deceived Lu Xian.

She is so scheming, it is impossible for her not to think about it.

Lu Jilang's unnatural expression replayed in her mind over and over again.

The girl twisted and turned, her pink nails were bitten into a mess. She couldn't help but care about Lu Sanlang's affairs. She was such a suspicious person, how could she let it go easily when she saw something wrong?

Luo Lingyu was thoughtful and began to think about how to get information from her second cousin.

Lu Erlang had been doing the same thing for several days. He went to court and government offices, and when he came back, he looked worried. No one knew what he was worried about. One day, Lu Erlang was on leave and was going to Kaishan Temple to see the master. Upon hearing the news, Luo Lingyu immediately took her sister out. The reason was that Zhou Yangling was helping the poor and refugees at Kaishan Temple, and since Zhou Erlang was working so hard, she should help him.

Luo Yunhuan was very suspicious of her sister's intentions, but it was always good to be willing to help others.

Carriages and horses rumbled through the city. The curtains in the carriage were down, and Luo Lingyu closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, thinking about her own things. Luo Yunhuan, who was sitting next to her, lifted the curtains, her bright eyes shining, looking at the people passing by on the street with curiosity and joy.

Luo Lingyu closed her eyes and said, "Don't look. Who knows if there are any bad guys? A court official was killed by a thug these past two days. It's too dangerous."

Luo Yunhuan: "Why would the knight come to kill us? My cousin's family is very powerful. Let me take one last look at you, sister..."

Their carriage passed through the slums, and outside the slums were full of ragged people. A kind-hearted person was distributing porridge here, and Luo Yunhuan lifted the curtain and saw the refugees rushing to a place, scrambling for the few porridges. And somewhere was full of people, and in another place, a young man kneeling in the corner of the wall, his face stiff, was very conspicuous.

This young man was one of the two people who stopped the carriage when Luo Lingyu and her sister went down the mountain to return to the Lu family in Danyang. Unfortunately, Luo Lingyu never remembered what unimportant people looked like, and Miss Luo Yunhuan was sleeping soundly in the carriage that day. The guards that day were not the same as today's guards. As a result, the ox cart drove slowly by, and no one in the Lu family's carriages and horses recognized this young man.

The young man is kneeling here because he was punished by the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had used a whip to beat him until his skin was torn and bloody. The middle-aged man was furious: "What use is there for you? Even if you kill a court official, you can be discovered. You better hide well. If you are recognized by the people of the South, you can take the blame directly. If you tell who our master is, none of your family will survive!"

The middle-aged man, who was dressed as a refugee, picked and chose among the noble ladies who were kind enough to rescue refugees in Jianye, and chose Miss Chen, who gave out the most porridge. The middle-aged man tried to curry favor with the lady, and the young man had been kneeling here for an entire afternoon as a warning.

The young man lowered his head.

The summer heat was so hot that his flesh and blood formed scabs and his hair was wet with sweat. The young man's lips turned white and his skin was exposed. He was thirsty and hungry, and was in pain all over his body. He was also a bit violent and angry. He thought that he would kill his companion in the future! His mind was full of bloody killings, and his cold eyes were stained with red bloodshot. Suddenly, he heard a few crisp clanging sounds above his head, and several copper plates fell from the sky and were thrown in front of him.

The young lady's voice was as sweet as an oriole, and she called softly, "Little brother, little brother..."

The young man looked up and saw a half-open curtain in the carriage. Behind the curtain, a pretty and lively girl smiled at him. She put her finger in front of her lips and pointed at the refugees who were fighting for food, and then pointed at the copper plate that fell in front of the young man. The girl's meaning was very clear - hide quickly, don't let anyone find out and take it away.

The young man's eyes shrank slightly, his long black eyelashes raised, and he still looked at her expressionlessly.

The young lady's face was shocked, and because another girl in the car scolded her, she quickly lowered the curtain. The noble luxury car drove past the young man.

The young man lowered his head and stared at the few copper coins thrown in front of him.

After a long time, he bent down and took the copper plate in his hand.

Chapter 90

Luo Lingyu was a mean person, and mean people do mean things - after finding out about Lu Erlang and Lu Xian's usual whereabouts in Kaishan Temple, she found a monk and went through the back door to ensure that she could eavesdrop smoothly when Lu Erlang was talking to the Buddha.

When she heard the secrets of Lu Erlang that should not be heard by others, she could just turn around and walk away pretending to be ignorant. However, Luo Lingyu judged that her second cousin had been sighing every day recently, and when he said that he dreamed of Lu Yun's death, his expression was so subtle and strange. This information itself made Luo Lingyu think that maybe the second cousin's worries were related to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun is gone, but he still makes his family worry about him. He is such a disaster.

When she and her sister went to Kaishan Temple, they saw Zhou Lang and other ladies from the noble families helping. Luo Lingyu and her sister naturally went over to greet them and introduced her sister to them. When she saw Zhou Lang, Luo Lingyu was not surprised to see Chen Wang Liu Chu there as well. Luo Lingyu just glanced at the young man subtly - this good friend of Lu Yun was really strange. He took time out of his busy schedule to go wherever Zhou Lang went. He and Lu Yun were not so good, right?

When Miss Luo came, Mrs. Chen Xiu, who was busy, snorted and turned away.

Zhou Yangling was extremely happy to see Luo Lingyu coming. Because of his poor health, Zhou Yangling stood in the hot sun for a while, then went to a cool place to rest, and whispered to Luo Lingyu about his current situation. It turned out that after Zhou Yangling's help, Kaishan Temple was willing to hire some refugees to help the temple work so that some refugees could have a place to stay. The big temples of this era had great power and many industries. The refugees who could climb up to a famous temple like Kaishan Temple in Jianye would at least not be afraid of starving to death on the streets. Zhou Yangling, Chen Xiu and others were here today to help Kaishan Temple settle these refugees.

These are the results of Zhou Yangling's hard work for a month. When Zhou Yangling was busy with these, Luo Lingyu was just sitting at home doing the accounts, managing her cosmetics shop, helping Lu Yun with finances, and giving alms to the refugees when she was in a good mood. Facing Zhou Yangling's gentle face, Luo Lingyu felt ashamed and felt that she was outdone. This feeling was only a moment, and Luo Lingyu threw it away. After all, Zhou Lang was a man, and he specialized in a different direction from her. She could accept that a man was better than her.
