Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Lu Siheng deliberately waited near the location of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that day.

When he saw Dong Jingtang coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Dong——"

Dong Jingtang turned around and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Lu."

"I said earlier that I was going to visit my house, but I have been putting it off until now. I'm really sorry." Lu Siheng apologized.

"Mr. Lu is busy with affairs, so you don't have to worry about small things like this."

"Actually, I am planning to go to my house today, but I wonder if Mr. Dong is free?"

Dong Jingtang was stunned and couldn't refuse, "Then please invite Mr. Lu to have a cup of tea in my humble residence."

"It's an honor," Lu Siheng raised his hand, "Master Dong, please."

Cui Qiyan, who returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate from elsewhere, couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene. When did Lu Siheng get so close to the new Mr. Dong?

Moreover, the expert has always been a solitary person, so why did he suddenly start interacting with the ministers of the DPRK?

When he arrived at the gate of the Dong family, Dong Jingtang looked at the gifts that Lu Siheng had brought from the carriage. He had really prepared them, and he couldn't help but thought: This Mr. Lu really doesn't act like an expert.

Seeing him coming with gifts in both hands, Dong Jingtang hurriedly said: "Master Lu is too polite. There is no need to bring so many things when I come to the house."

"This is a congratulatory gift for Mr. Dong and his family to come to Beijing. You must accept it." Lu Siheng said sincerely.

Dong Jingtang had no choice but to ask Butler Sun to take the things over, and then invited Lu Siheng in.

Xu Yiwan saw Lu Siheng's eyes showing surprise.

Lu Siheng greeted him generously, "Mrs. Dong."

"... Mr. Lu, please sit down quickly." Xu Yiwan turned around and asked the maid Chun Cao to make tea.

"The climate in Beijing is drier than Yangzhou. I wonder if Mrs. Dong can adapt to it?" Lu Si

Heng sat down and said.

Xu Yiwan subconsciously glanced at Dong Jingtang next to her, and quickly replied: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern. I think it's okay."

Then the tea was served and they talked for a while. Mainly Dong Jingtang and Lu Siheng were talking, while Xu Yiwan was listening silently.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Siheng said, "Miss Dong and I have known each other before and can be considered friends. I have something to give to her this time. I wonder if I can meet her?"

Dong Jingtang didn't expect that he would make such a request. After thinking about it, he told Chuncao, "Take Mr. Lu to the girl's place."

"Thank you, Mr. Dong."

Lu Siheng brought back a beautiful wooden box from outside and followed Chun Cao to the east wing.

"Master Lu, please wait here while I go in to report to Miss Ming."

Lu Siheng nodded slightly and stopped to wait.

Dong Jiafu in the room heard what Chun Cao said about Mr. Lu and immediately guessed that the person was Lu Siheng.

Dong Jialin, who came to discuss the book store with her, also guessed, "Is this the expert Chu Lu who sent us to Beijing?"

Chun Cao didn't know Lu Siheng's official position, so he said uncertainly, "It should be so. I did meet Mr. Lu that day."

"That's it," Dong Jialin said anxiously, "Afu, please invite Mr. Lu in quickly."

Everyone was at the door, Dong Jiafu nodded, "Please come in, Mr. Lu."

After Lu Siheng arrived, he calmly greeted him, "Second Young Master Dong is here too."

Dong Jialin, who was about to speak, was confused by him. This seemed to be at their house. How could he be made more like the master's house?

Dong Jialin came back to his senses and said, "I have met Mr. Lu."

"Young Master Dong, there is no need to be so polite. You are not serving in the imperial court, and I am insignificantly older than you."

, just call me ‘Brother Lu’. Lu Siheng said pleasantly.

"Ah?" Dong Jialin was startled. He never dreamed that one day he would call the deputy commander of the expert department his eldest brother.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"It doesn't matter, since Miss Dong and I are friends, and you are her second brother, then we are also friends."

Seeing that he was chatting lively, Dong Jiafu couldn't help but interrupt, "Why does Mr. Lu want to see me?"

"On the way back to the capital, I heard Miss Dong mention the story books and learned that you liked the ones I gave you before. This time I found some in the capital. They are all more popular and I will give them to you to pass the time." Lu Si Heng handed the wooden box to her.

"Master Lu came here specifically to give me this?" Dong Jiafu was stunned.

Seeing this, Dong Jialin hurriedly took it for her and blurted out excitedly: "Great, Mr. Lu, this thing was delivered in time. I just wanted to know what kind of storybooks people in the capital like."

"Why does Second Young Master Dong know this?" Lu Siheng was puzzled.

After the words were spoken, Dong Jialin simply said truthfully: "I plan to take over a bookstore, so I want to know the preferences of the people in the capital."

"I see, then Lu will be here to wish Second Young Master Dong a prosperous business and abundant financial resources."

"I would like to borrow Mr. Lu's good advice, but this matter has just been finalized. There is still a lot to do later." After Dong Jialin calmed down from his excitement yesterday, he carefully calculated and found that there was more to do than he expected.

Lu Siheng smiled and said, "Lu is quite familiar with things in the capital. If Mr. Dong is unsure, please feel free to ask me."

"Master Lu is busy with political affairs, how can I do this for such a small thing?"

Something bothers you? "Dong Jialin was flattered.

"It's okay, it's just a little effort."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu."

Dong Jialin thought to himself that his father just didn't allow him to borrow his name, so now that Mr. Lu offered to help, it wouldn't be considered a disobedience.

Whether or not Mr. Lu will need help in the future is another matter. Anyway, it is always good to have someone like him as a backer.

"Oh, look, I've let Mr. Lu stand for so long, but I forgot to ask you to take a seat." Dong Jialin suddenly realized and said attentively, "Sir, Mr. Lu, please sit down, you must have drank the tea brewed by Afu. It's better than the tea outside." Everything in the teahouse is delicious.”

Yeah? Lu Siheng looked at Dong Jiafu with the corner of his mouth raised, smiling without saying a word.

Dong Jiafu had a hunch after hearing what her best second brother said. Sure enough, the next moment she heard him say: "Afu, go and make a cup of tea for Mr. Lu."

Dong Jiafu was helpless that her second brother was subdued by Lu Siheng so quickly with just a few words, and even used her to please him.

"Okay -" Dong Jiafu said word by word, "Master Lu, please wait for a moment."

Lu Siheng smiled innocently and said, "There is a labor director girl."

At Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Cui Qiyan, who returned to Chenglin Pavilion, once again received a letter from Ji Bai.

After being disappointed again and again, he no longer dared to have high hopes when reading the letter. When he opened the letter, he prepared the news about where Ji Bai was and found nothing.

Cui Qiyan leaned back on his chair tiredly and unfolded the letter. But as he watched, his body straightened up unconsciously, the hand holding the letter couldn't stop trembling slightly, and the expression on his face changed from confusion to disbelief to ecstasy.

He read the letter twice to make sure he had read it correctly. Then he stood up from the chair

He got up, slapped the letter on the table, and walked excitedly out of the room.
