“I came here to take back those industries.”

Lu Yunqi frowned when he heard this. "Is this true? Who are those people? How dare they occupy your mother-in-law's property?"

Lu Zhiran shook his head. "I don't know where they came from. I just heard from my mother-in-law that these people are from her family. They are the bullies in this area. They rely on their power and influence to oppress the people and do all kinds of evil."

"My mother-in-law's property was taken away by them by trickery and violence."

"My mother-in-law couldn't do anything about them. She thought the property would be useless if she got it, so she gave it to me."

After hearing this, Lu Yunqi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "How dare these bullies be so arrogant? They are simply lawless. Don't worry, I will help you get those properties back."

Lu Zhiran shook his head gently, politely declining Lu Yunqi's offer of help, "Brother, I understand your intentions, but I want to handle this matter myself."

Her words revealed determination and confidence, which made Lu Yunqi stunned.

Lu Yunqi frowned slightly and looked at Lu Zhiran in confusion, "Zhiran, why are you so stubborn?"

"Since these people dare to occupy your property, they must have some background. How can you fight them alone?"

"Oh! No, there is also Fu Yuzhang... But Fu Yuzhang doesn't care about you at all, so how could he help you do these things?"

Lu Zhiran smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with intelligence, "Brother, you forgot that I was once a merchant family, and I have my own way of dealing with these things."

"After all, I have been influenced by my father's methods of dealing with those shameless merchants since I was a child."

"Besides, I believe in my ability. As long as I want, I can definitely take back what belongs to me."

What's more, Lu Zhiran never fights an unprepared battle. She has been preparing for this time for a long time.

Seeing Lu Zhiran so confident.

Lu Yunqi didn't know where she got such confidence from.

But at this moment he was also infected by Lu Zhiran's emotions, and then reacted.

Lu Yunqi felt that Lu Zhiran was really overestimating his own abilities.

It's wishful thinking to take back what belongs to her.

"Lu Zhiran, are you too arrogant? Even your mother-in-law can't do anything about it, so why do you think you can do it yourself?"

"Just you, Xiaoying, a few servants, and a pretty boy named Siqi."

"You are going to deal with this bully in the city gate. Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Lu Zhiran's face darkened. Is it really that depressing?

Just when Lu Yunqi was about to have a good talk with Lu Zhiran and make her face the reality, a general in armor walked in from outside, followed by more than twenty soldiers.

As soon as you walked in, you attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing them, the guests in the inn were all terrified.

"Is there anything going on? Why are there so many people here?"

"It seems like it was the night before yesterday when these officers and soldiers came to search, saying there was a fugitive on the run here. No, the fugitive is still here!"

"What bad luck! Why did I choose this inn?"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here to eat this morning..."

Everyone was chattering.

Lu Yunqi also looked uneasy. He stopped talking and whispered to Lu Zhiran.

"What do you think these soldiers are doing here?"

"Could it be that there are really some fugitives here? Let's change to another inn after they leave."

Lu Zhiran talked and laughed without saying a word.

Just then, a soldier next to the general pointed to Lu Zhiran's table.

"General Wu Da, it's her!"

Wu Da walked towards the table where Lu Zhiran and Lu Yunqi were sitting.

He is tall and strong, with a resolute face and an imposing manner.

He walked up to Lu Zhiran, knelt on one knee, and bowed respectfully, saying, "I am here to see Madam Hou. I didn't know that Madam Hou was coming, so I failed to welcome her. Please forgive me, Madam Hou."

Lu Zhiran was startled by this sudden action and quickly helped the general up, "General Wu Da, please stand up quickly."

Wu Da stood up, clasped his fists and saluted Lu Zhiran, and said very respectfully: "I was in the west yesterday to wipe out the sand bandits, so I am late. Please forgive me, Madam."

Lu Yunqi looked at the scene in front of him and was shocked beyond words.

He didn't expect that this sister whom he had always looked down upon would be treated so seriously by a general.

Before, I always thought that Lu Zhiran only had the title of Marquis’s Lady.

In fact, it didn't have any effect, but now seeing that a traffic policeman attaches so much importance to her, it seems that Lu Zhiran, the wife of the marquis, does have real power.

Lu Yunqi had no idea that Wu Da was so respectful to Lu Zhiran not just because of Fu Yuzhang.

And because of the token given by the third prince Su Ye, he attaches so much importance to it.

"Madam Hou, I wonder why you came to Chengguan this time? I will do my best to help you."

Wu Da said with a bow.

Before this, Su Ye had written a letter to instruct Lu Zhiran to do his best to satisfy any request he made.

Lu Zhiran smiled slightly and told the whole story.

After Wu Da heard this, his brows furrowed. “How dare these bullies be so arrogant and occupy Madam Hou’s property. I will take them down right now and give Madam Hou an explanation.”

"Xiao Si, go check out the Lin family and see what they rely on."

"Yes!"

A soldier beside Wu Da went out swiftly.

A few people could only sit at the table and wait.

Wu Da asked his twenty or so soldiers to find a place to sit down.

Most of the people in the inn left early because they were afraid of getting into trouble with the arrival of these soldiers.

The innkeeper served us carefully.

Lu Zhiran is a man of few words, so when chatting with others, the topic naturally falls on Lu Yunqi.

That's when.

Only then did Lu Zhiran realize how versatile Lu Yunqi was.

After a while, the soldier named Xiao Si walked in quickly and said a few words in General Wu Da's ear.

General Wu Da said to Lu Zhiran in a deep voice: "Madam Hou, I have already found out the details of those bullies. The reason they dare to occupy your property is because they are relatives of your mother-in-law's family."

"You took advantage of the fact that your mother-in-law's biological parents were dead and it was difficult for your mother-in-law to come back and recognize them, so you are eager to take over the magpie's nest."

"We can just go directly to the Lin Mansion."

Lu Zhiran nodded, and she asked Xiaoying to go upstairs to get the things. During this process, Siqi also came over to join in the fun.

"It's such a fun thing, I want to go too!"

When he saw him coming, Lu Yunqi's eyes were blazing with fire.

"You haven't broken up with him yet."

Lu Zhiran hushed, signaling to Lu Yunqi that there were outsiders present and he should not let others laugh at him.
