Lu Zifeng escorted Situ Yao's carriage all the way to the clinic. At this time, he happened to meet Situ Heng, the prince of Zhong Wang, who heard that Situ Yao's carriage was frightened and came to look for Situ Yao for fear that she was in danger.
Situ Heng looked to be in his twenties, with a tall and strong build. He looked like a military general, except that he lacked the beard that one would expect from a military general.
Seeing that Situ Yao was fine, Situ Heng breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to Situ Yao and said.
"You are such a troubled girl, you are in so much trouble all day long. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, my father and mother would be worried again."
Situ Yao was very happy to see her elder brother, and she took her elder brother's hand and talked to him.
"Brother, I'm lucky to have met Prince Lu today, otherwise I might have been in trouble. Speaking of which, this is the second time Prince Lu has saved me. The first time was the assassination attempt outside the city a few days ago, and the other time was today."
After hearing his younger sister say this, Situ Heng noticed Lu Zifeng standing beside him.
Of course Lu Zifeng knew about it. He was the nephew of the Empress, the nephew of Duke Dingguo, the eldest son of Marquis Cheng'en, and the heir to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Situ Yi quickly bowed to Lu Zifeng.
"Thank you, Master Lu, for saving my sister. I cannot express my gratitude enough. I will come to thank you in person someday."
Lu Zifeng hurriedly returned the greeting.
"Prince Zhongwang has said it, but it was just a matter of convenience, not worth mentioning. Since Prince Zhongwang has arrived, I will return first. Goodbye."
Lu Zifeng bowed and mounted his horse to leave.
Situ Heng said hurriedly.
"Take care, Prince Lu. I will come to thank you another day."
Lu Zifeng had just returned to Cheng'en Marquis Mansion on horseback when he met his father Lu Mingyuan who was about to go out.
"Father, are you getting ready to go out?"
Lu Mingyuan nodded.
"Well, there are some academic matters I'm going to ask the teachers at the academy. Did you send your second brother to the military camp? How is he doing there? Is he adapting well?"
Lu Zifeng smiled. He knew that his father was worried that the boy would not be able to adapt to the military camp, so he said.
"Father, don't worry. That kid is very popular with General Lan. He directly gave him a seventh-rank flag officer position and also said that if he performed meritorious service, he would definitely recommend him for a reward."
After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, Lu Mingyuan finally felt relieved. He knew what kind of trouble his second son was like. The boy was too reckless and had caused a lot of trouble outside recently. Fortunately, the eldest son had told his second sister's nephew before he left, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble the boy could have caused?
The father and son exchanged a few words in front of the door, and Lu Mingyuan went out first because of something. Lu Zifeng then returned to the house and first went to his grandparents' yard.
Lu Lancheng and the old couple Xu have gradually adapted to life in the capital these days. What happened at the farm some time ago has made Lu Lancheng and Xu not want to go to the farm for the time being. They plant some flowers, plants and vegetables in their own backyard every day. The old couple are busy and happy.
Seeing Lu Zifeng come in, Lu Lancheng smiled.
"Brother Feng, have you made arrangements for that kid Zi Yan?"
"Well, Grandpa, that boy is pretty good. He is very popular with General Lan, so he was made a seventh-rank flag officer. After all, he is considered a minor officer."
The maid brought tea, and Lu Zifeng sent the servants away. Then he talked to Lu Lancheng about what happened in Luzhou Prefecture.
When Lu Zifeng heard that Lu Minglan had moved back to her old courtyard for the sake of her daughter's future, she agreed very much.
"That's good. It seems Yan'er has been blinded by wealth and fame. Fortunately, she's still young, only nine years old. If she's taught well, she can be raised well. How's Hao'er? How's her academic performance?"
Speaking of Qi Hao, Lu Zifeng smiled.
"My grandson didn't see Hao'er when he went back this time, but I heard from my uncle that Hao'er is doing well in his studies. Their teacher also said that he should have a place in next year's Tongsheng exam."
Hearing Lu Zifeng say this, Lu Lancheng laughed out loud. His grandchildren are all good now. Although they are not his biological children, they are all descendants of the Lu family. Now his grandson is just as outstanding. How can he not be happy?
Lu Zifeng wanted to talk to Lu Lancheng about his uncle again. "I just found out that my uncle has some interest in that Lin family lady, but I can't say it out loud for now. My aunt and the grandfathers are all paying attention to it. If it works out in the end, grandpa and grandma won't have to worry about my uncle anymore."
Lu Lancheng nodded after hearing this. "Then let's wait and see! Maybe your uncle can really succeed this time?"
Lu Zifeng thought about it and still hesitated.
"Grandpa, can you tell me about my third and fourth uncles?"
Lu Lancheng was happy, but when he heard Lu Zifeng's question, his face suddenly turned gloomy. He looked at Lu Zifeng with a complicated expression and then said.
"Feng'er, you're old enough now, so I can tell you about this. It's just that Grandpa doesn't know how to tell you right now. How about we wait a little while until Grandpa figures out how to tell you, and then I'll tell you."
Lu Zifeng nodded when he heard that, but did not force it. Lu Mingjiang had already been killed by him, and Lu Zifeng himself did not regret killing Lu Mingjiang. He was just wondering why Lu Mingjiang and his family were expelled from the family by his grandfather and several elders. Even now, the names of these two families were not on the family tree?
After chatting with his grandparents for a while, Lu Zifeng returned to his own yard.
Meanwhile, Situ Heng brought Situ Yao back to Prince Zhong's residence, where Princess Zhong was anxiously awaiting news. Half an hour earlier, a servant had returned with the news that her daughter, Situ Yao, had been frightened by the horses at the west city gate. Her daughter was still inside the carriage, and her fate was unknown. Princess Zhong nearly fainted, but she summoned her spirits and had someone notify Prince Zhong, asking him to go look for Situ Yao.
But until now there was no news. Princess Zhong was getting anxious and was about to ask someone to prepare a carriage so that she could go and look for her daughter herself.
Then they heard a loud noise coming from the front yard. Princess Zhong was delighted when she heard it and said hurriedly.
"Go and see if the princess has returned."
After hearing this, the maid immediately ran out of the room and ran towards the front yard, but just as she reached the second gate, she met Prince Zhong and Princess Yuyang who came in.
"Meet the prince, meet the princess."
Situ Heng nodded.
"Well, get up. How is mother?"
The reason why Situ Heng asked this was because when he went out to look for Situ Yao, Princess Zhong almost fainted and had already sent someone to call the imperial physician.
"My Lord, is the princess okay now? She's waiting for him and the princess in the front hall now."
