Nan Xing said, "Don't worry, the Lei family has received the news and has made preparations. Third Miss Ren is safe."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, asked a few more questions, and then asked Pingguo to take Nanxing downstairs to rest.
Ren Yaoqi returned to the main house and briefly explained the matter to Master Ren San and Mrs. Li, reassuring them. Hearing that the soldiers outside were there to protect them, Master Ren San and Mrs. Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then how long will they have to wait outside?" Master Ren San remembered that he was also responsible for repairing books. He couldn't stay at home all the time, although the days passed quickly when he was at home reading and painting.
Ren Yaoqi comforted him, "It's just a matter of a few days. Father, just think of it as a few more days of vacation."
Master Ren San nodded and sighed, "That's the only way."
In fact, Ren Yaoqi had originally wanted to find an excuse to get Third Master Ren and Li to stay out of the house. Prince Xian's mansion was in a critical situation, and no one knew what would happen next, so it was best for them to hide for the time being. Now that they were under "house arrest" by Xiao Jingxi's men and could not leave the house, they had just avoided the prying eyes of the outsiders and avoided Eunuch Lu's tricks.
What Ren Yaoqi didn't know was that in the evening of that day, Eunuch Lu really came with his men to arrest people and bring charges. Unfortunately, his men were stopped by Mu Hu at the entrance of an alley two alleys away from Ren's house, and they didn't even see the door of Ren's house.
Lu Dexin narrowed his eyes at the dark-faced general blocking his way, then smiled and slowly took out the token that the emperor had used to mobilize personnel in order to facilitate his actions. He flashed it in front of Mu Hu and said condescendingly, "Get out of the way!"
Mu Hu didn't move at all. He said in a serious tone, "I am currently performing my duties. All outsiders please leave immediately!"
"How dare you! Kneel down for me! Don't you see the token in my hand?" It was the first time that Lu Dexin saw someone who dared to openly disobey the emperor. Even King Yanbei had to salute when he saw the thing in his hand.
Unexpectedly, the stern-faced general in front of him said righteously: "I am performing my duties and refuse to accept bribes! Put away your things and retreat!"
Lu Dexin was so angry that his face turned pale: "You...you...you..."
The eunuch behind Lu Dexin said, "You bastard, don't you recognize the words on the jade token?"
Mu Hu glanced at the jade token and said, "I can't read!"
"Then call someone who can read!" Ludexin said sternly.
Mu Hu grinned and looked back at his soldiers: "I can't read, so which of my men dares to read?"
"We can't read either!" The personal soldiers standing behind Mu Hu, dressed as ordinary city guards, said in unison.
Lu Dexin was used to being a tyrant, so how could he have been fooled like this? He immediately raised his whip to hit Mu Hu. Mu Hu's eyes flickered, and he pretended to avoid Lu Dexin and took two steps back. Lu Dexin spurred his horse forward to hit him again, but for some reason the horse under him suddenly raised its hoof. Lu Dexin was caught off guard and almost fell off. He finally managed to hold the reins tightly to steady the horse, but suddenly there was a crisp "crack".
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the so-called token in Lude's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
