Xue Qianyu received the letter on the eve of the Lunar New Year, just after he came out of the palace.
Lu Zheng had a special channel to send messages to the capital, which took only eight days, much faster than ordinary post stations or escort agencies.
When he returned to his study with the letter and opened it, his servant immediately sensed that the temperature around his young master had dropped.
After a long while, Xue Qianyu carefully put the letter away and placed it in the drawer.
He picked up his pen and wrote a reply to Gu En: No need to say more, let nature take its course.
He wrote those eight characters, dried them, and put them in an envelope, intending to have them delivered to Lu Zheng's men. After thinking for a moment, he put the letter away and called over the servant beside him: "Go and tell the messenger to come back later tomorrow. I have something here that I need him to take back."
The servant nodded and went to do his work.
Xue Qianyu stood by the desk for a while, then picked up his cloak and went out.
"Yu'er, where are you going again now that you've just returned?" Madam Xue came over to find him and asked with concern when she saw his appearance.
"Go to the palace." Xue Qianyu answered, then stopped after taking a few steps and turned to ask, "Mother, do you have the key to Father's storeroom?"
Madam Xue took two steps back, looking at him warily: "What, what are you planning to do now?"
Xue Qianyu smiled and walked to Madam Xue's side: "Mother, give me the key to Father's storeroom! I'm going to pick out a treasure. I heard that Father won some good stuff in a cricket fight the other day!"
Madam Xue rarely saw Xue Qianyu smile, and his smile dazzled her. However, having learned her lesson from before, she firmly shook her head: "I don't know. I didn't. Oh dear, I just remembered I still have accounts to check. It's the end of the year, so busy!"
With that, she turned to leave.
Xue Qianyu grabbed her mother's arm: "Mom, if you don't give them to me, I'll break down the door myself! Don't worry, I'll only take three at most. If Dad asks you, just say I took them. If he scolds you, come find me. I'll teach him a lesson!"
Madam Xue was both relieved and helpless: "Yu'er, your father actually..."
Her Yu'er is the kind of person who, if she suffers injustice, will do anything to help her get justice.
Two years ago, the master kept a mistress outside and instigated him to come back and bully her. At that time, Yu'er was only thirteen years old. She went straight to the mistress's house, beat up his father, and then sold the mistress.
Even if the master went to the palace to complain, it was no use; the emperor liked Yu'er very much!
So she felt gratified, but also helpless. In the past, the father beat the son, making the son silent and cold. Now, the father is afraid of the son.
well……
Xue Qianyu didn't want to hear Madam Xue praising his scumbag father, so he interrupted, "Mother, if you don't give it to me, I'll really break down the door! If you give it to me, I'll send you the new fragrant face cream from Qingzhou in the first month of the lunar year!"
Madam Xue's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Xue Qianyu nodded: "Really. I made a brother over there, and he's on good terms with that family. I'll send them New Year's gifts tomorrow and have him send me some new products too. They'll definitely be the first of their kind in Beijing. How about it?"
Madam Xue nodded happily: "Okay, okay, I'll go get you the key. Anyway, you're your father's only son, so everything in his storeroom will be yours from now on."
Xue Qianyu took the key, ran to his father's storeroom, picked out three of the most valuable treasures, and headed to the palace.
He took them to the palace to exchange for gloves with the emperor. Last year's gloves were given away, this year's gloves were given away, and he pre-ordered next year's gloves.
Heh, you're trying to take my stuff? Well, let's see if you dare keep doing that.
