I'm leaving Qin Province tomorrow. The journey is long; even by train, it will take two days and three nights.
Yu Yao didn't want to force herself to eat only the food on the train, which was expensive and not necessarily tasty.
She asked Lu Ze to help her rent a stove so she could cook something to take on the train.
Lu Ze glanced at the bright sun outside and said, "I'll take care of renting the stove. You can rest inside for now."
One person can handle this matter; Yu Yao doesn't want to risk getting a tan by going out.
"Wear a straw hat when you go out, don't get heatstroke in this hot weather."
Yu Yao had only been resting for a short while when she heard a knock on the door, followed by the voices of Lu Yunqi and Su Ya.
"Yu Yao, come out. I know you're inside."
Lu Yunqi said in a low voice, "Let's talk."
He dared not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Mr. and Mrs. Lu who were resting inside.
Given his grandfather's strong sense of justice and hatred of evil, he would be very disappointed in him if he found out he was about to receive a severe scolding.
Without his father's support, it wouldn't be easy for him to get into a government department just by relying on his father's connections.
Yu Yao disapproved of Lu Yunqi's timid and hesitant manner.
There's no need to guess; everyone knows Lu Yunqi's plan.
He wanted her to forgive Mu Hehe, but he also wanted to avoid alarming the old man and lowering his standing in the old man's eyes.
Want to resolve things without losing anything? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Yu Yao turned over, ignoring it.
Su Ya lost patience when she saw that Yu Yao was pretending to be dead.
He pounded on the door and shouted, "Yu Yao, come out here!"
"Mom, keep your voice down. Don't disturb Grandpa and Grandma!"
No sooner had Lu Yunqi finished speaking than Old Master Lu appeared in the corridor, his face dark and his voice stern: "What is it that you don't want to alarm us?"
Yu Yao heard the old man's voice from inside and a smile appeared on her lips.
It seems she doesn't need to take action; the old man will handle them.
Faced with Lu Huiyun's questioning, Lu Yunqi's eyes flickered, "No, it's nothing."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Ya and started to leave.
Compared to his grandfather's impression of him, Mu Hehe, his newlywed wife, was no big deal to give up.
"Stop!" Lu Huiyun called out to the two, his sharp gaze landing on Lu Yunqi's face. "Yunqi, you tell me, what are you doing standing at Yu Yao's door?"
Lu Yunqi was reluctant to talk about it, but under the old man's stern questioning, he had no choice but to confess.
After listening to Lu Yunqi's words, Lu Huiyun stared at him with his imposing eyes for a long time without saying a word.
Lu Yunqi felt uneasy, unable to understand the meaning in his grandfather's eyes.
Fearing that his grandfather would take his anger out on him because of Mu Hehe, he immediately distanced himself from her.
"Grandpa, don't worry, this kind of vicious woman doesn't deserve to be a member of our family. I'll publish a divorce notice in the newspaper right away."
Su Ya nodded in agreement, "That's right, Dad. I'll make them divorce right away. Don't let this woman upset you and ruin your health. We're not going to see Yu Yao anymore, we're going back immediately..."
As the two continued talking, Old Master Lu's expression grew increasingly grim, and Su Ya's voice grew softer and softer until she finally stopped speaking altogether.
Lu Huiyun's face was grim, unable to hide his disappointment, and he said, "You two come with me."
When Lu Yun returned to the room, Hu Lingyu noticed that his complexion was off and quickly helped him sit down. "Take your medicine first. What were you doing out there? Why do you look like that?"
Lu Huiyun briefly recounted what had just happened, then sighed, "The third son's lineage is finished. I thought Yunqi was just spoiled, but I never expected him to be so cold-blooded and ruthless."
Although he didn't like Mu Hehe, Mu Zhiqing was still his wife, and he had knelt before her to pledge his loyalty in order to marry her. And now, so little time had passed, and she was divorcing him so readily.
"Lingyu, let's go back and separate the family."
Hu Lingyu glanced up, somewhat surprised, "You've already separated the family? Didn't you always say you didn't want to separate the family?"
Lu Huiyun shook her head. "I was too stubborn. As trees grow up, branches grow out, and children grow up and leave home. Lu Ze is married now, so it's time. Once Lu Ze and Yu Yao are settled on the island, I'll ask them to come back and get this done."
"Why are you in such a hurry? If we're going to split up the family, we need to think carefully about how to do it and how much each family should get, so as not to cause any conflicts."
"There's still time, think about it now. The higher-ups are getting tighter and tighter, and any small mistake could be magnified and punished. Lu Ze is the most promising person in the Lu family, and the one most likely to rise to a high position. I can't let a bad apple spoil his future."
Lu Huiyun's voice was filled with worry about the turbulent situation, reflecting the sensitivity of a high-ranking veteran of the War of Resistance against Japan to political storms.
Hu Lingyu understood.
This division of the family property is probably not a simple matter of dividing the assets; it needs to be done thoroughly.
Early the next morning.
Yu Yao and the others were rushing to catch a train and had a lot of luggage, so Lu Ze specially called a tricycle to take them to the train station.
Mu Hehe suddenly woke up in a cell belonging to the Public Security Bureau of Dongfeng Commune where suspects were being held.
Seeing that it was already bright outside, she quickly got up, pried open the door, and asked the police outside for the time.
Upon learning that it was already eight o'clock, Mu Hehe felt a little flustered.
The train is leaving in half an hour. Will Lu Yunqi and the others make it in time?
By this point, Mu Hehe had never doubted that Lu Yunqi and the others wouldn't come to rescue her.
I'm just worried that maybe Yu Yao is unwilling to reconcile, which is why Lu Yunqi didn't come.
She clung to the doorframe and asked, "Comrade, has no one come looking for me?"
Yu Yao is such a petty woman; she's probably still jealous that I stole Lu Yunqi from her.
The police officer glanced at her. "Are you Mu Hehe?"
Mu Hehe's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "It's me, it's me, is it my husband who's come to pick me up?"
