After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

The older child then took out a green jade pendant from his arms. Liu Yuefu nodded at him, and he put the jade pendant away.

"Come with me." Liu Yuefu said gently.

The older child said goodbye to the other children and followed Liu Yuefu into the carriage.

Liu Yuefu first took the child to a nearby clothing store to buy decent clothes, and then went to the inn to book a room. Chuntao helped the child take a bath, and the child was washed clean and fair.

Only then did Liu Yuefu take the child and go to the Lu Mansion in her own carriage.

Lord Lu did not live in the backyard of the county government office, but bought a three-story courtyard house near the county government office.

Liu Yuefu led the child out of the carriage, and Chuntao went to the gatehouse to hand in the note.

After a while, the door opened and a maid in a pale blue dress came out, "Madam Li, our Madam wants to see you. Please follow me."

Liu Yuefu led the child along the winding corridor. There were some pine and cypress trees planted outside the corridor, which were still green and lush even in winter. Soon, the two were led to a reception hall in the backyard.

At the head of the hall sat a beautiful woman in a pine green brocade long coat with a cross collar. When she saw Liu Yuefu coming in with the child, she immediately stood up to greet them, "Madam Li, your visit to my humble abode today really brings honor to my humble home."

"Is this your little boy? He is so cute." Mrs. Lu looked at the child and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness.

"No, it's yours." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

Mrs. Lu was stunned, "Ah?"

"I only have two daughters, where did the young man come from?" After saying this, Mrs. Lu's eyes darkened. She felt a deep sadness. She didn't know whether her child, who was abducted by the damn human traffickers, was alive or dead.

"Mrs. Li, please don't make fun of me." Mrs. Lu said.

"Mrs. Lu, did you lose a child seven years ago?" Liu Yuefu looked at her and said.

Madam Lu sighed softly, "Alas..., what Madam Li said has been a source of worry for me for many years."

Mrs. Lu looked at the child without hope. "Over the years, we have looked everywhere for him and offered a reward, but all that came were fakes, and gradually..."

Mrs. Lu's eyes were filled with loneliness, and then she slowly said: "...I don't hold out any hope anymore."

Liu Yuefu tilted her head slightly and signaled the child with her eyes, "Take it out and show it to Madam Lu."

The child nodded and took out the green jade pendant from his arms.

When Mrs. Lu saw the jade pendant, she was horrified and took the child into her arms, "Xingxian, my Xingxian."

Mrs. Lu felt quite out of control, and after calming herself down, she couldn't help wondering, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

"My mother said that I have been wearing this since I was a child. She asked me to take it to the Lu family in Liyang, which is the home of the county magistrate."

Mrs. Lu's eyes suddenly filled with tears. "My son, you have suffered so much over the years. I am your biological mother."

After saying that, Mrs. Lu hugged the child tightly and didn't let go for a long time.

After holding the child for a long time, Mrs. Lu finally let go and stopped holding the child. Instead, she held the child tightly, as if she was afraid of losing the child again. "Mrs. Li, I lost my composure. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"No way, I'm really touched by Mrs. Lu's love for her child." Liu Yuefu said.

"Mrs. Li, please take a seat." Mrs. Lu made a gesture of invitation and said.

Liu Yuefu sat down.

Madam Lu asked the maid to take the child away to eat something, and then she said, "Madam Li, you are here this time, aren't you just helping me recognize my relatives?"

Liu Yuefu smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu is indeed a straightforward person. To be honest, this is just a great gift from me to you. I want to form an alliance with you, Mrs. Lu."

"It's about the charcoal fire, right?" Mrs. Lu smiled, "I guessed it was this."

Mrs. Lu looked at Liu Yuefu's behavior this time and felt that she was not the kind of person who threatened others as Mrs. Kang said. After all, if Liu Yuefu was hiding the child, she could just show her the jade pendant. She could threaten her to hand over all the coal she had purchased. She could even get the coal without spending a penny and without bloodshed.

But Liu Yuefu didn't do that. She didn't threaten her, but just returned the child to her safely, and then proposed to form an alliance with her for the sake of stability. It can be seen that Liu Yuefu is not a despicable villain.

"I want to form an alliance with Madam Lu, as long as Madam Lu doesn't suppress me recently. We can discuss the shipment of coal. This will not harm your interests, nor my interests. I hope Madam Lu can consider it." Liu Yuefu said.

Mrs. Lu pondered for a moment and made a decision, "Okay, I promise you."

If I kill Liu Yuefu, wouldn't I be the one repaying kindness with enmity? Well, I won't lose anything by forming an alliance. Let's be merciful.

Liu Yuefu smiled when she heard this, "Thank you, Madam Lu."

"You sent Xingxian back, so I should be the one thanking you." After saying that, Mrs. Lu was about to bow, but was stopped by Liu Yuefu.

"You're welcome. This is because your mother-son relationship has not yet ended." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

After that, Liu Yuefu said goodbye and left. Mrs. Lu tried to keep Liu Yuefu several times, wanting to thank her and show her hospitality, but Liu Yuefu refused every time.

Only then was Liu Yuefu able to leave the Lu Mansion. If you, Kang Miaoqing, can join forces, then naturally I, Liu Yuefu, can too.

Since Kang Miaoqing was unwilling to let Liu Yuefu go, Liu Yuefu had planned to stick with her to the end since she received the letter.

After a bumpy journey, Liu Yuefu did not return to Li's Mansion until the evening.

As soon as she returned to the Li Mansion, Liu Yuefu asked Hua Ling to call her brother Ji Sheng.

Not long after, Ji Sheng arrived. "Madam, it's so late, is there something urgent?"

"Tomorrow morning, take a few people you trust with you, leave the capital, and go to the west of Da Qi to buy charcoal. Buy as much as you can." Liu Yuefu said seriously.

As she spoke, Liu Yuefu took out two silver notes, each with a face value of five thousand taels.

"This is ten thousand taels of silver. If it's not enough, send someone to tell me. In any case, try to collect all the charcoal. The more the better." Liu Yuefu instructed.

Ji Sheng nodded, "I understand, ma'am."

"Go to Chuntao to withdraw your travel expenses. These silver grains are a reward for you. Thank you for your hard work on this trip." Liu Yuefu poured out a handful of silver grains from her purse and gave them to Ji Sheng.

"If you get the job done, I'll give you a reward when you come back. Go ahead. This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. You should set off early tomorrow morning." Liu Yuefu said.

"Yes, ma'am." Ji Sheng bowed.

Liu Yuefu already had a corresponding countermeasure in mind. She would set out early tomorrow morning, traveling light so as not to alarm certain people who should not be alarmed.

Kang Miaoqing, do you think this is the end?
