I was reborn and married a villain, and I won by lying down

Lu Yanchao said with a smug smile: "I heard that the chief eunuch is critically ill. I'm afraid someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble at this time. My second uncle's legs are not good, so naturally he can't stay here longer."

As he said that, he glanced meaningfully at Qu Yunchu beside him.

Thinking of her alienation and indifference towards him these days, hatred arose in his heart.

This time, she will not be allowed to escape from his grasp.

"Second Aunt, you have been obsessed with casinos recently. Although you have lost some money, my Lu family has a great business. You don't have to sell your property and flee to Miancheng with your uncle in a hurry. Please go back with your nephew as soon as possible."

"escape?"

Qu Yun was confused when he first heard this.

This eldest nephew has a bit of a misunderstanding.

She suddenly thought about pawning Lu Wenqian's reward before going out, and also exchanged all the gold and silver into silver notes.

I just thought it was more convenient to keep the banknote, and I didn't want him to misunderstand so deeply.

What an embarrassment.

"Eldest nephew, so you are going to mobilize a large number of people to capture me and your second uncle?"

When he said this, Qu Yunchu couldn't help but glance at Liu Quan.

Lu Yanchao couldn't see anyone else in his eyes at this time, and kept laughing: "Why did the second aunt speak so harshly? My nephew is just worried about the safety of you and the second uncle."

"Where is the Superintendent?"

Liu Quan had no intention of getting involved in their feud, he just wanted to confirm whether Zhang Jinnian was dead or alive.

At this moment, Zhang Jinnian walked out slowly with the support of Liu Ke and others.

Just when his figure arrived at the threshold of the outer courtyard of the post house, a steady stream of footsteps also gathered from all around.

Looking over, they were all sergeants holding halberds, and there was no end in sight to the mighty team.

"Why, Liu Quan, if you don't fulfill your duties faithfully in Yanyang City, why are you going to Moocheng to look for my family with your Hanyi Guards?"

Zhang Jinnian rested for the night. At this time, his complexion had improved a lot, he was in high spirits, and he didn't need anyone's support at all.

Seeing that the Miancheng defenders had arrived, he felt even more confident.

Minding his own business, Zhang Jinnian pushed away the boys who were gathered in front of him. He stepped forward with steady and strong steps, looked at Liu Quan, and smiled sinisterly:

"Could it be that you want to rebel?"

Everything was completely different from what he expected. When he saw Zhang Jinnian standing in front of him in full force, Liu Quan was so frightened that he fell off his horse.

He knelt down in front of Zhang Jinnian in panic and explained in a hurry: "What did my godfather say? How dare my son have such thoughts. I just heard that my godfather was ill and rushed to take care of him."

Lu Yanchao obviously did not expect that Zhang Jinnian was still alive and seemed to be in particularly good spirits. Based on his understanding of his condition, it was impossible for him to look like this.

He also quickly jumped off his horse, and came forward to kowtow in fear: "I have seen the eunuch before me, and I wish you good luck and good health."

"Yan Chao, you take your second uncle very seriously."

Zhang Jinnian stretched out his hand to help him up, but his kind and kind eyes were filled with unknown anger, which made Lu Yanchao's whole body feel horrified when he looked at it.

"My godfather is serious."

Lu Yan smiled nonchalantly and replied, "I'm just worried about my second uncle's health."

"Our family is really happy for your second uncle that you have such a heart."

Zhang Jinnian smiled warmly, put his hands into his wide sleeves, and looked around at the soldiers and cold-clothed guards around him. He had no intention of quarreling with Liu Quan and Lu Yanchao.

He looked at Lu Wenqian with a deep look, sighed softly and continued:

"This is a good thing. Since Liu Zhizao and Yan Chao have personally come to welcome Second Master Lu back to his home, our family will not get involved. Our family has to do a big thing for the emperor, so let's just say goodbye."

<divclass="contentadv">"Where is your godfather going? Why don't you let your son accompany you?"

Seeing that he did not criticize him for rashly leading troops, Liu Quan was secretly happy and began to flatter him diligently.

"Liu Quan, I won't worry about our family matters, but you can't be careless about the palace errands."

Zhang Jinnian said meaningfully: "Nowadays, the atmosphere of these merchant families is getting worse and worse."

Palace errands?

Liu Quan glanced at Lu Yanchao and roughly guessed what his godfather meant.

My coming to Tanzhou this time was not just to monitor Lu Wenqian on behalf of the Holy Empress. My official mission was to monitor the actions of Huang Shang.

In recent years, the Lu family has been controversial and has caused dissatisfaction with the court.

He was previously worried that the Lu family's uncle and nephew had not thoroughly investigated the Lu family, but his godfather emphasized this matter after Lu Wenqian resigned as the head of the family, fearing that he was dissatisfied with Lu Yanchao.

This young playboy was indeed hated by people. As soon as he took over as the head of the family, he drove everyone to death, including his own uncle.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the godfather's face.

Who doesn’t know that Lu Wenqian was raised by his godfather?

"Don't worry, godfather. My son will definitely supervise all the important businessmen and not bring discredit to our Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Liu Quan came back to his senses and answered confidently.

Zhang Jinnian nodded with satisfaction, smiled and said to Liu Ke: "That's right. Since Yan Chao has come to Miancheng, you should give Yan Chao the rewards given to their mother and son by the imperial court and the Holy Empress." Going back will save our family another trip."

"Yes."

Liu Ke clapped his hands into the post house and saw two female envoys following a carriage out of the side door.

"This year the Emperor has rewarded the Holy Queen with many pearls and agates from the southern kingdom. The Queen is thinking about you, mother and son, and has deliberately ordered our family to bring some over."

Zhang Jinnian casually glanced at the carriage that came out, but his eyes stayed on the two female envoys.

"Yan Dynasty, the Holy Empress has deliberately confessed that it is winter now, and it is the coldest in the North. It happens that the empress has a house in Tanzhou City, where the hot springs are the most nurturing. The empress rewarded two girls, Xia Yu and Dong Ju. Take care of your mother and stay there for a while, then let them go and pick your mother up to Tanzhou in person."

"Thank you, eunuch, and thank you, empress."

Lu Yanchao was so excited that he knelt down and thanked me: "I will never forget your kindness. I will do my best to run errands for you."

"Hey, that's not right."

Zhang Jinnian corrected him with a serious face: "The Lu family has been blessed by the country. As the head of the Lu family, you should not think about running errands for the Holy Empress, but about being loyal to the court."

"Yes."

Listening to these high-sounding words, Lu Yanchao quickly nodded in agreement.

Qu Yunchu and Lu Wenqian both listened absently to this kind of scene, but they turned their attention to Xia Yu and Dong Ju beside the carriage with tacit understanding.

Looking at the two female envoys, Qu Yunchu suddenly thought of Chunhua and Qiuyi who were killed by Lu Wenqian, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

She had some impression in her mind that Chunhua and Qiuyi were also gifts given by the Holy Lady to Jiang Rui, the old lady of the Lu family.

But Jiang Rui sent those two girls to serve Lu Wenqian, and as a result, Lu Wenqian was poisoned.

Now this matter couldn't be more clear. The Holy Lady might want to take action against Lu Yanchao's biological mother, Hua Wanxin.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Lu Wenqian, who was sitting upright. There was no trace of jealousy or envy in his eyes, but a hint of sympathy and compassion.

No wonder he only killed two maids with a cane and said nothing about the mastermind behind his murder.

It turned out that he had known the mastermind for a long time.
