Chapter 353 Brother Killed Him with Money
Su Nuan asked curiously, "Wouldn't it be more free to marry a son-in-law? If you marry, you'll be controlled by your mother-in-law, right?"
Lu Bayue shook her head. "You don't know the various restrictions the Lu family places on their daughters. Although we can do business and those who are capable can stay at home, they will force marriages."
"It's just... they want to find a man they think is very smart to be our son-in-law. They want smart offspring, and they don't care whether we like it or not."
Lu Bafang nodded and said, "Yes, sometimes old men whose wives have died are chosen."
"Now that you mention it, I also think it's better to get married. At worst, I can divorce my husband."
"Don't worry, no matter who you marry, I will support you. If he treats you badly, I will use my money to kill him."
Su Nuan, “…”
These two guys are mentally unstable, but they have a deep brother-sister relationship.
"Are you guys... going to leave or not?"
Lu Bafang and Lu Bayue followed immediately.
Su Nuan decided not to say anything more in the future, because Lu Bafang started talking about the rules of their Lu family. This time he was not asking Su Nuan to help him find a solution, but to express his dissatisfaction with the family rules.
When they arrived at Su Nuan's residence, they only saw the old lady and Tuan Tuan.
The old lady smiled and said, "You are back."
After saying that, he pointed to the side and said, "The salute is over there."
Su Nuan walked over to the old lady and sat down.
Tuantuan held up the white sugar cake in his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, eat."
Su Nuan took the sugar cake, ate a piece and said, "Where did they all go?"
The old lady smiled and said, "They went to a meeting."
Lu Bafang and Lu Bayue stepped forward and saluted, saying in unison, "Greetings, old lady."
The old lady smiled and said, "Come and eat something."
The brother and sister were really hungry, but there were only a few pieces of sugar cake, and they were too embarrassed to fight with the children for them.
Su Nuan stood up and said, "You guys sit down and rest, I'll go get something to eat."
It was already past dinner time, so Su Nuan cooked a pot of egg noodles since there were plenty of eggs in the space anyway.
The brother and sister wiped their mouths after eating.
Lu Bafang smiled and said, "Sister, come and see what we gave you."
After saying that, the brother and sister ran to the box and opened it.
Su Nuan pulled Tuan Tuan over, with a box of solid-colored furs, a box of various gems, and a box of interesting gadgets.
"Is this all for me?"
Lu Bafang nodded, "They are all yours. Look, there is a special one here."
After saying that, he took out a pink fox fur from the box and put it directly around Su Nuan's neck.
The two people's actions were very ambiguous, and they looked like lovers.
Wu Long's voice came, "What are you doing? Are you giving or receiving something privately?"
Su Nuan looked over and glared at him.
Ling Cang came back from outside with his men, and no one knew where they went for the meeting.
His expression remained unchanged as he looked at the brother and sister with a smile.
"You look good, is this because your business is done?"
Lu Bafang nodded, "It's done, but we forgot to buy food."
Li Fengxing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Once you pass the assessment this time, you'll have a personal butler."
Su Nuan suddenly remembered the question she wanted to ask, "By the way, is the private butler you mentioned really that powerful?"
Li Fengxing nodded and said, "The Lu family's personal butler not only helps with business, but also takes care of their daily life and their health."
Su Nuan said with disdain: "Isn't this just the spy that the family has planted next to them?"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Li Fengxing crossed his arms, rubbed his chin with his left hand and said, "That's right. If a steward knows all of his master's preferences, then he can also imitate everything his master does."
"If one day the master becomes too independent and disobeys, then the butler can completely replace him."
"Human skin mask...this thing is not fake."
Everyone, including Su Nuan, felt a chill down their spines.
Lu Bafang stammered, "Then...but...but...why...why is it like this?"
Su Nuan thought of something and said, "Could it be that... the Lu family doesn't want their assets to flow out? Even if the people making money outside are of the same bloodline, as long as the money doesn't go into the Lu family's pocket, they can kill them without mercy."
Lu Bafang's hands were shaking because Su Nuan said something he didn't dare to ask.
Li Fengxing said, "That's right, but I can't figure out one thing."
There was also one thing Su Nuan couldn't figure out, which was what the Lu family wanted so much money for. They couldn't be giving it to the national treasury, right?
Lu Bayue raised his hand and pulled out a red string from his lapel, and the red string brought out a jade pendant.
"Brother, do you have this?"
Lu Bafang took a look and shook his head, "No, this is only for girls, right?"
Lu Bayue shook his head, "My brother has it too."
Lu Bafang took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and finally his face turned pale. "I remember, Grandpa has it."
Lu Bayue looked at Lu Bafang and said, "I seem to have figured something out."
Su Nuan quickly called for a halt, "Stop, can you just tell me? I'm confused. If you don't want us to know, then you two can go over there and talk."
Lu Bayue touched his nose and said, "There's nothing I can't listen to."
Lu Bafang sighed, "I remember the legend of the West Sea Kingdom."
Su Nuan felt that there was something interesting to talk about, so she shouted, "Let's go to the restaurant and have some tea while we talk. Those who have work to do should go and do it first."
Li Fengxing smiled and said, "I'm fine. I want to listen."
Standing behind Ling Cang, Xue smiled and said, "I'll go make some tea... Mom, wait for me!"
Su Nuan turned her head and saw that the old lady had already started running towards the restaurant.
Tuantuan was slow to react, but she didn't want to listen, so she ran away to play.
Su Nuan chuckled, "I'll go prepare some snacks."
A group of people rushed into the dining room, and Li Fengxing dragged the brother and sister in.
Su Nuan went to the kitchen to find some peanuts, melon seeds, and sweet snacks, and when she felt that they were enough, she took them to the restaurant.
The restaurant is a separate house with long tables and chairs that can accommodate hundreds of people for dinner.
Now they sat at a long table, looking expectantly at the two siblings sitting at the narrow side of the table.
Lu Bafang and Lu Bayue looked at each other, they couldn't even speak.
Su Nuan put the snacks on the table and went to get plates to distribute them.
Xue was too impatient to perform delicate tea ceremony, so she simply poured boiling water into the teapot and brought it to the table.
"Okay, we're all here."
Silence followed, and the brother and sister didn't know what to say.
Su Nuan asked, "What does that jade pendant mean?"
Lu Bayue suddenly realized and picked up the jade pendant and said, "The front of this is Taotie, and the back is Pixiu."
"It means that the front can swallow the world, while the back can only take in and not out."
Su Nuan tilted her head and looked at Lu Bayue. "I can guess that. What I want to ask is why you have it and he doesn't."
"Is this thing not worthy of the direct descendants? Or did you inherit it from someone?"
Lu Bayue shook her head. "Neither. I've had this jade pendant since I was born."
