Qu Yunchu followed Lu Wenqian as he walked slowly to Fengyage Pavilion. Thinking back to what the mad critic had just said, he felt quite uneasy.

"You don't have to be afraid. From now on, no one will dare to embarrass you in the entire Dayue Dynasty. Everything will be based on your wishes. If you like to be the Lu Shen family, then you will be the Lu Shen family. If you want to be the Lu Qu family, then you will be the Lu Shen family. Lu Qushi.”

Lu Wenqian did not shy away from suspicion and talked freely.

Qu Yun was stunned when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, he had only been out for a few days, and this mad batch had already found out his identity.

I'm afraid I can't do without my mother's assistance.

Hey, your mother will not really regard this crazy person as a son-in-law who rides on the dragon, right?
He is the Ghost King of the Devil's Cave. When this madman awakens completely, he will have no choice but to die.

Moreover, why should I become Lu Qushi?

Sounds weird.

"Xiao Chu."

Lu Wenqian has long been immersed in his own world and cannot extricate himself: "It's very close to my mother-in-law to call you like this. If you don't like me calling you Lu Shen, I will also call you Xiaochu from now on."

"Oh."

Qu Yunchu responded absently and silently rolled his eyes at him.

Calling him Xiaochu now feels affectionate. When he knows that he has tricked him and used him to get rid of his cronies, he may only be left with the words "stinky Taoist nun".

Back in Fengya Pavilion, Mrs. Wei was taking Xiao Ning and Qu A'a to greet people to clean the yard. When she saw her daughter and uncle came back safe and sound, she came forward happily and was about to call, but she took a look at her daughter's mood. He seemed a little depressed and stopped talking.

"My wife has come back. My mother-in-law and my younger sister will go down with my wife to have a rest and talk first. My mother-in-law has been worried and scared for this whole day. My son-in-law is really ashamed, so he asked the kitchen to prepare some meals for us to use together later. It’s not too late to have a good night’s rest.”

Lu Wenqian gave instructions in a very gentle tone, and then let the servants carry him back to the inner room.

Wei and Qu Yunchu looked at each other and remained silent until they reached the attic before speaking: "Xiao Chu, my uncle is really smart. He actually noticed your identity."

"Well, what mother said is that he is smart."

Qu Yunchu didn't know how to answer her.

After all, Mrs. Hua was dead. He didn't want to hide this from Lu Wenqian, and he couldn't hide it. The person hidden deep in his consciousness was waiting to crush him to ashes.

"You girl, you don't discuss anything with everyone, and you cause misunderstandings everywhere."

Wei's tone was reproachful, and she straightened her hanging hair rather sadly.

"You said that what you did was clearly a good deed to save all sentient beings, but in the eyes of everyone, you are a heinous person. When have you ever been wronged like this?"

"It doesn't matter what others think, as long as you have a clear conscience, that's all."

Qu Yunchu smiled lightly.

Qu A'a also leaned on her leg distressedly and said sadly: "Sister, I just want to be with you and my mother. Our family of three will be together every day when we return to the village."

Hearing Xiao Douding mention this matter, Qu Yunchu couldn't help but feel vigilant, and quickly told: "Mother and A'a will stay in Fengyage these days, and don't go anywhere."

Now that Lu Yanchao does not have Mrs. Hua as his backer, he is at the end of his rope and will inevitably jump over the wall.

Before finding this person, she had to protect her mother and little sister.

"You don't have to worry about us."

Although Mrs. Wei was thinking about her family, she had more important things to do now, and she had to urge her daughter and uncle to achieve righteousness before she could leave with peace of mind.

"I'm not going anywhere. Something like this happened in the Lu family, and my uncle is still ill. I can at least take care of some housework for you by staying here."

Wei said with a smile.

Hearing what she meant, Qu Yunchu felt his mother's ill intentions again, fearing that she was going to interfere with him and that crazy critic again.She wanted to find an excuse to excuse herself, but she saw Keyan walking in.

"Miss, Sanniang is here."

Thinking about what happened at the gambling house that night, Qu Yunchu hurriedly greeted him.

When she saw Lu Junwan, the girl hugged her tightly and said with self-blame and heartache:
"Smelly Zhiyi, you are becoming more and more outrageous. You don't tell me every time something happens, which makes me misunderstand you."

She never dared to imagine that the second sister-in-law could win over Liu Quan in such a short period of time and get rid of Mrs. Hua easily.

"Some facts are forced."

Qu Yunchu replied truthfully: "As for what happened this time, Lu Yanchao and Mrs. Hua have already discussed how to deal with your second brother. If I told you, you would have no choice but to be in a dilemma. Fortunately, now we have got rid of Mrs. Hua." , we can all live a peaceful life in the future.”

"You are more considerate than me in everything."

Lu Junwan smiled and said: "I promise, as long as you and your second brother live a good life, I will not ask anything in the future."

Seeing her second brother treating her more and more attentively, Lu Junwan didn't want the two to separate from the bottom of her heart.

Qu Yunchu couldn't accept these words.

She was really hurt about this right now.

One mother is enough, but I don’t want Sanniang to come in and cause trouble.

"I know."

Qu Yunchu hesitated and then quickly changed the subject: "How is the loss at home?"

"A lot of those who were robbed in the treasury were recovered."

Lu Junwan sighed sadly: "I heard from Lu Jiang that the riots this time were all caused by the chain reaction caused by the Yan Dynasty's hike in salt prices. Naqu Prefecture has been exploited by him and the government for many years. Qingqing, the Yanyin incident was the last straw for the people. The losses to various places in the Lu family during this riot are probably far greater than the loss of money and property in the treasury."

Turning her head and looking at the courtyard where the cries continued in the distance, she continued: "Yan Chao really went too far this time. He abandoned a whole family at a critical moment, and thousands of guards in the Lu Mansion were beaten to death by a group of petty thieves. The whole family of Uncle San was massacred by the rebels."

Although Qu Yunchu felt sad when he heard this, he didn't sympathize with them.

In her opinion, these people only brought it upon themselves.

If they were willing to listen to Lu Wenqian's words and work together to guard the Xiyuan Bank, they would not end up like this.

"Have you heard about Lu Yanchao's whereabouts?"

Qu Yunchu asked.

Now is the time to settle old scores with him.

Lu Junwan slowly shook his head: "I heard that Liu Zhizao has sent Han Yiwei to chase him out along the secret passage. He can always be found. He has made such a big mistake this time. Not only the Lu family, but also the imperial court will not let him go easily." Exceed him."

After thinking about it, her expression became extremely gloomy: "I'm even worried that the imperial court will investigate the matter of Quzhou, and then the entire Lu family will be implicated."

"Will not."

Qu Yunchu smiled and consoled him: "Your second brother took the initiative to request Li Du to send troops to quell the rebellion, and the money has been shipped back to Quzhou. As long as the matter is handled properly, the Lu family will not be implicated."

She didn't say the most intuitive truth.

Zhang Jinnian would not see anything wrong with Lu Wenqian, so he would definitely try to protect the Lu family.

As for Lu Yanchao's whereabouts, Qu Yunchu had probably already come to a conclusion in his heart, and he probably went to join Tang Shun.

But Tang Shun is not confused. It depends on whether Tang Youning will harbor criminals.

She had to strike first.
