Suzhou, Lu Mansion.
Lu Jia rested his head on the bed with one hand, and with his other hand on his waist, lying on his side on the couch.
His eyes were slightly narrowed, and his whole body was shaking slightly, looking very relaxed and contented.
At this moment.
The door was gently pushed open.
A young man walked in slowly.
"Feng'er, you look so panicked, what happened?"
"But that brat Cao De has hired someone to destroy the feng shui of our ancestral tomb again?"
"Our Lu family's ancestral tomb was personally arranged by the divine fortune teller Li Buyi from the pre-Qin period. Who in the world can break this?"
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly closed, gleaming with brilliance, and he sneered:
"These eunuchs of the Cao family have been too restless over the years. Sooner or later, I will have to deal with them!"
Lu Feng shook his head and said, "Father, since that meeting, the Cao family seems to have quieted down. There haven't been any unusual moves in the past few days."
"Oh."
Lu Jia narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "I guess he's afraid of giving people a chance to talk, so he's quiet now."
"They know what's best for them."
"Dad..." Lu Feng hesitated to speak.
Lu Jia narrowed his eyes and scolded, "If you have something to say, just say it!"
"You're a man, but you're hesitant in your words like a woman!"
After being scolded, Lu Feng lowered his head even more and stammered, "Dad..."
"Are we going a bit too far in allocating labor service to each acre?"
"The imperial envoy is on his way and will arrive in Jiangnan soon..."
Lu Jia's brows furrowed, and he shot out two lightning-sharp rays of light: "What are you afraid of!"
"This is wiping out our roots. How can we allow the Empress to continue implementing this?"
"Imperial envoy?"
"hehe!"
"Just a woman, what a nobody!"
"But Dad, he is the emperor's envoy after all. Why should our family offend the emperor to death?" Lu Feng tried to persuade him.
Lu Jia was extremely disdainful, with a hint of contempt on his lips.
"Feng'er, you are just too petty."
"If it's the Left Prime Minister Kong Lingda, or the Right Prime Minister Yang Yingguang who's coming."
"Father, no matter what, I have to give them both some face and let them bring back some achievements. This way, everyone can get what they need and they won't return empty-handed."
"But who is Murong Yanran?"
"She's just a woman beside the Empress. What's her worth?"
Lu Feng was still a little hesitant: "Dad, she is Zhang Jiangling's granddaughter after all..."
Lu Jia slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Feng. Lu Feng felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and his whole body was cold.
"Zhang Jiangling?!"
"Everyone is dead. My students and former officials have either been sent to the border or have taken refuge with my nobles. What is there to be afraid of?"
"Could he possibly jump out of his coffin and massacre my Lu family?"
"But……"
Before Lü Feng could say anything, Lü Jia sat up and sneered, "Alright!"
"Your thoughts, your father knows."
Lu Jia changed the subject and asked, "Where is the imperial envoy?"
Lu Feng quickly reported back: "We are not far from Suzhou City. They are walking very slowly, as if they are enjoying the scenery."
"Traveling?" Lu Jia raised the corner of his mouth, even more disdainful, "What a woman."
"How many people are there in their group? Have you arranged everything along the way?"
Lu Feng seemed to have gained some confidence and self-assurance, and reported respectfully: "Everything has been arranged, Dad. It's all according to your wishes."
"The farmers along the way are all elderly people from their families. They know what to say and what not to say."
"The imperial envoy's group seems to consist of four people, two men and two women."
"One of them is the daughter of Pharmacist Li, who has been very popular recently."
"There were two men accompanying him. One was big and strong, and looked quite muscular."
"The other one is handsome, well-mannered, and seems to be a scholar."
Lu Jia suddenly laughed: "Hahaha——"
"Even the noodles are brought with them. It's really a sightseeing trip."
"What does she think Jiangnan is? Is she looking down on us?"
He was so angry that he laughed.
The Jiangnan family felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They carefully planned for two days, going over everything in detail several times.
Double-check that there are no omissions.
Only then did he go ahead and execute it.
result……
That’s it?
Who are you looking down on?
Does she really think Jiangnan is a place where she can do whatever she wants?
Just as Lü Jia was laughing wildly, a man stumbled in and shouted loudly:
"Daddy, Daddy! Oh no, something terrible has happened!"
"It's gone, it's gone, your father is gone!"
"What?" Lu Jia leaned forward, completely confused.
The man yelled again: "Your mother is gone too!"
This time, Lu Jia understood. As soon as the words fell, his face turned green with anger.
He lay on his side on the couch and waved, "Chan'er, come, come here!"
Lü Chan knelt on the ground, his face mournful, and moved to Lü Jia, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Jia raised his hand and slapped him, cursing, "Asshole! What are you talking about!"
"How could the Lu family, with its thousand-year-old pedestal, raise a disrespectful and unfilial son like you?"
"Are you looking for death?!"
Lu Chan covered his face, tears streaming down his face as he grumbled, "Father, honest advice hurts, I'm only speaking the truth!"
"Your mother and your father, uh... no! Grandfather and grandmother, even the coffin lids can't be found!"
Hearing this, Lü Jia was furious and shouted, "Someone come!"
"Drag this rebellious son away and give him forty lashes of the cane to sober him up!"
