Chapter 86 Where did the wild child come from?
Xiao Yanci tried hard to keep a straight face, "Are you really going to Xiping?"
Jiang Nansheng also straightened his expression, "That's right. The Princess of Pingle County is not someone who makes random comments. I have to personally investigate the truth of this matter."
"Once Ah Sheng left, I didn't even have anyone to talk to."
Xiao Yanci: "If you attend more banquets like today, there will be many beautiful women coming to chat with you."
Xiao Baozhu rolled her eyes. "Is that just talking to me? That's just flattering me. So boring."
Jiang Nansheng: "Then you can send an invitation to Princess Pingle. She will definitely be interested in you."
Xiao Baozhu snorted proudly, "She's not bad, she's pleasing to the eye. I just overheard her talking to Miss Xing Er."
She repeated those words to them, and Jiang Nansheng couldn't help but sigh, "Pingle County Princess's heart is open-minded and resolute, far beyond that of ordinary people."
Xiao Yanci's eyes were dim and ripples appeared in his heart.
Chu Yian, you are so blind.
After lunch, the plum blossom viewing banquet ended and the guests left one after another.
Lu Guanxuan was slightly drunk and his face was flushed.
Everyone flattered him in every possible way, making him feel flattered. Even Lord Xing was much friendlier towards him.
"Lord Lu has raised a wonderful daughter. I will have to learn a lot from you in the future."
Lu Guanxuan was very proud in his heart, but he kept saying "No, no, no."
Seeing that he was about to be sent to the door, Lu Guanxuan hinted at the matter of promotion. Lord Xing smiled and said, "Lord Lu, it is indeed time to move."
Lu Guanxuan was overjoyed and his anxious heart was completely at ease.
A long-cherished wish is finally coming true!
On the other side, the female guests also came to the door, and Lu Zhiran saw the scene of the two people having a happy conversation.
She stepped forward and said, "Father, congratulations! You're about to get what you want. I promised you a great gift, and I won't break my promise."
Lu Guanxuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and his heart felt extremely comfortable.
Sister Ran was indeed thinking about her father. This gift was really what she wanted and she was very satisfied.
Thinking of Fang's provocative words, he felt a little unhappy.
He almost believed what Fang said and misunderstood Sister Ran.
Everyone said goodbye to the host one by one and got on the carriage to leave.
Just as Lu Guanxuan was about to get on the bus, a child shouted "You dog official" and rushed out from the side like a wolf cub, pounced on him, and Lu Guanxuan fell flat on his face.
Fang exclaimed, "Master! How are you?"
Xing Shijie naturally couldn't sit idly by when something happened right at his doorstep.
"Quick, arrest him! Sir Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Guanxuan was already a little drunk and fell down. He felt dizzy and didn't react for a long time.
The child had messy hair and a dark face. He was wearing a new cotton-padded jacket given by the shelter. The jacket was a bit big, making his thin figure look even thinner.
The Xing family's guard picked him up with one hand, and he struggled hard like a chicken.
"Who are you? Why did you offend Lord Lu?"
The child had a very loud voice and his shouting could be heard clearly by half the street.
"He's a corrupt official. He set up a scheme to seize my family's fertile land and even took my sister as his concubine! My father tried to seek justice, but your people beat him to death. My mother cried herself blind and died soon after. I'm the only one left in my family! It's you, it's you who made me lose my family!"
The guests who were originally planning to leave did not leave after hearing the noise, and all gathered around to watch the fun.
Lu Zhiran hadn't moved. At this moment, her eyebrows were slightly drooping and the corners of her mouth were raised.
Lu Guanxuan was instantly awakened from his drunkenness.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about! I, Lu Mouxing, am upright and have never done such a shameful and shameful thing!"
The child grumbled in his direction, "Of course you wouldn't do these things yourself. Just give an order and there are plenty of lackeys to do your bidding."
Fang frowned. Where did this wild child come from?
"Everything requires evidence. You keep saying that my master ruined your family, but do you have any evidence? If not, it's a false accusation. I can turn you over to the authorities right now!"
Fang's calm and composed attitude helped Lu Guanxuan clear his confused thoughts a little.
"Yes, can you provide any evidence? You're trying to slander me with empty words. How audacious!"
The child yelled at the top of his lungs, "My family is in Xinlin Village. You've taken away a lot of the good farmland in the village. Just call our villagers over for a confrontation and you'll know I'm not lying!"
Fang vaguely felt that the name Xinlin Village was familiar.
Lu Guanxuan angrily scolded, "What Xinlin Village, Old Lin Village? I've never heard of them. What you said has nothing to do with me! Lord Xing, don't listen to the nonsense of this little beggar! I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. I can withstand the investigation!"
He was about to be promoted, but this little beggar suddenly appeared. If Lord Xing believed it, all his previous efforts would be in vain!
Fang then spoke up, "Yes, my master is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. How could he do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding."
"It's not a misunderstanding. That person keeps claiming to be someone belonging to Lord Lu, the Minister of Revenue! I still remember his name, Hu Yong. He's fat and has big ears. I'll definitely recognize him the moment I see him!"
After hearing the name, Fang's expression froze and her heart suddenly tightened.
Over the years, she made a lot of money from Lu Zhiran's shop, and took part of it back to her parents' home to let her brother do some business.
My brother opened a money shop, and the manager of the shop was called Hu Yong.
Her brother was arrogant and often bullied the people, but Fang treated it as an ordinary minor friction and never took it to heart.
They never thought that they would have a life on their hands, and the matter was even brought to light by a little brat!
Lu Guanxuan had never heard of this name. "Master Xing, listen to this! This little beggar wants to use just a name as evidence to convict me. I am even more wronged than Dou E!"
Fang held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, a look of pity on her face.
"The child looks so pitiful, dressed so lightly. Child, I'll take you to have a good meal first, and then wash up. If you've been wronged, we will definitely seek justice for you."
Fang softened her tone, trying to get the child to lessen his hostility.
He snarled at Fang, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? You're trying to trick me like this? If I go with you, I'm afraid I'll never see the sun again!"
Fang was secretly worried. She couldn't let the child continue to talk nonsense, otherwise the matter would get out of hand and she would not be able to cover it up.
She was about to continue covering it up when a voice came.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yanci seemed to have just heard the noise and looked at everyone with a puzzled look on his face.
The guard quickly let the man go.
Lu Zhiran looked at Xiao Yanci in surprise. Why was he here too?
It seemed like every time I set up a plan to do something big, he happened to be there.
Xiao Yanci walked out of the mansion and passed by Lu Zhiran. She smelled the light, faint scent of pine again.
Lu Zhiran was stunned, and her eyes followed him unconsciously.
Could it be...
