The man who came rushing over was her good brother - Lu Zhanyan.

He held Lu Qiongqi in his arms, and after making sure she was safe, he looked back at Lu Fengping with undisguised coldness in his eyes.

Qin Shi looked at the man's tense face and said with deep concern in her voice, "Brother, why are you here? You didn't tell me in advance. I hope I didn't hurt you by mistake just now."

The call of "Big Brother" was so affectionate, but Lu Zhanyan didn't even glance at Qin Shi and directly confronted Lu Fengping.

He looked at the bronze Lu ruler, his eyes narrowed, and his voice became cold and hard.

"I didn't know that you are the head of the Lu family now. When will it be your turn to enforce the family rules?"

Seeing that he misunderstood, Qin Shi explained anxiously: "Brother, don't blame my mother. It was my uncle who allowed it. Qiqi did something wrong, and we didn't want that either."

Lu Fengping looked at the man who appeared here unexpectedly and realized that this family practice could not go on.

She pretended to sigh and soothed him, "Zhan Yan, don't worry. I'm also her aunt and I don't have the heart to really punish her. Even if I have to beat her, I'll just deal with it."

Lu Zhanyan sneered.

His arm was still burning with pain from the blow he had just received with the ruler. The pain was like a lingering fire, burning through his skin.

Lu Zhanyan is a strong man who has a habit of exercising all year round. If it were Lu Qiongqi's smaller body, a hit with a ruler would probably be enough to make her faint.

Lu Fengping was his nominal aunt. He was unwilling to care and disdained to ask what she did in the Lu family's old house.

Therefore, they were usually polite to each other, but today she actually dared to put her hands on Qiqi.

He said coldly: "Even if Qiqi made a huge mistake, you and your daughter cannot bully others in the Lu family."

Frightened by his harsh words, Lu Fengping dared not speak again.

Lu Zhanyan carefully helped Lu Qiongqi up and let her sit on the stone bench, his eyes full of concern.

"Qiqi, are you okay?"

Lu Qiongqi's fingertips were still full of energy. She quietly removed the strength from her hands and responded with a smile, "I'm fine."

Forget it, let’s let this mother and daughter go for now.

If Lu Zhanyan had not arrived in time, their fate would have been much more miserable.

Seeing that Lu Zhanyan was still worried, she reiterated: "Brother, I'm really fine."

Qin Shi looked at the warm scene between the brother and sister with a complicated expression, and her nails pinching her skirt were almost split.

All her previous efforts seemed to have come to naught.

There was no estrangement between the two.

Lu Fengping put on a gentle smile again and took the initiative to find a way out for herself: "Forget it, forget it. I can't control you young people anymore. It's almost time for dinner. You all should go into the main courtyard and eat with your father."

Several people were sitting in the dining room.

Lu Fengkai came out of the study and was a little surprised to see Lu Zhanyan.

"Why are you here?" But the tone was joyful.

After he injured his leg, he seldom went out, and the Lu family was taken over by his only son, Lu Zhanyan.

Lu Fengkai has always been proud of the fact that his son is a business genius who has transformed Lu's company from a local enterprise into a multinational group in a short period of time.

"Feng Ping, warm up the wine I brought back from Shao Town. Zhan Yan and I will have a drink together." He ordered.

Lu Fengping wanted to persuade him to drink less, but seeing his determined look, she took the servants to the kitchen.

Because of Lu Zhanyan's arrival, Lu Fengkai forgot about the punishment he had just given Lu Qiongqi, and even gave her a good look at the dinner table.

The rice wine was poured into the glass. Lu Qiongqi stared at the rosewood wine glass of Lu Zhanyan beside her. The yellowish-brown wine in it, with a mellow and sweet aroma, floated towards her nose.

Perhaps she had stared for too long, and when she raised her eyes again, she found that everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Lu Zhanyan asked, "Qiqi, do you want to drink?"

Lu Qiongqi licked her lips. Was her expression so obvious?

She nodded: "Drink."

But she didn't wait for the wine glass, but instead waited for a bowl of soup brought to her by the servant.

She sniffed it and found that the "recipe" of the soup should be no different from the one that Huang Ma cooked for her.

Lu Fengping said with an especially kind look, "I specifically asked the kitchen to cook this. It uses the same ingredients and steps as the tonic soup that Qiqi usually drinks. I also asked Huang Ma how to cook it. Do you think it tastes good?"

Lu Qiongqi:.......You will know if you try it.

There are always people who want to harm the original owner, the cannon fodder, openly or secretly.

It seems that Huang's mother is also involved with this mother and daughter.

So she silently pushed the soup bowl to Qin Shi's side.

Even if she doesn't drink it, it would be good for her to be fumigated.

Lu Fengkai had no time to pay attention to her. He focused all his attention on his only son. He was in a very good mood today: "Zhan Yan, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Now we are finally reunited. Come, let's have a toast together!"

Lu Fengping, who was sitting next to him, also raised her glass and said with satisfaction: "A family is made up of a group of people. Zhan Yan should come home more often in the future."

Qin Shi stared at the man sitting opposite her. He was the president of Lu Group and a big shot who could call the shots in Yongcheng.

He is handsome and rich, and is the dream man of many women. Facing this heart-warming face, Qin Shi has drunk one glass after another.

At this moment, her expression was filled with obvious obsession.

"Brother, let's have a drink together." Qin Shi's voice was as gentle as silk.

Lu Qiongqi shivered uncomfortably, with goose bumps all over his body.

This family has some weird habits!

Each of them has a special feeling for their brother.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Zhanyan, but he seemed unaware and did not pick up the wine glass.

He said coldly: "If you want to drink, drink it yourself. I didn't come back to reunite with you."

Lu Qiongqi immediately felt refreshed and in a good mood. The way his elder brother spoke really was like an elder brother.

But others were not happy. Hearing this, Lu Fengkai's face suddenly became solemn. He said solemnly, "Behead him."

Lu Zhanyan was already past the age where he could be threatened by the Lu family. Just now, his sister was almost bullied, and he didn’t look happy. He said directly, “I’m talking about Huang Ma’s matter.”

However, when his eyes looked at Lu Qiongqi, they became noticeably gentler.

"Qiqi, Huang Ma's investigation results are out."

Lu Qiongqi was not surprised, and she had already guessed the result in her heart and was just waiting for confirmation.

But she didn't expect Zhou Ceyan to work so quickly. The investigation was completed just over an hour after she left the police station.

She pretended to be ignorant and asked curiously, "Brother, what did the police say? Did they find my jade pendant?"

Lu Zhanyan's expression was solemn and his tone slowed down.

"We didn't find the jade pendant, but we found a more important clue. Her biological son is Yue Tian, ​​the kidnapper who kidnapped you. Qiqi, you really did a good thing by accident."

The robber who kidnapped Lu Qiongqi was the son of Huang Ma, the nanny who had been taking care of her daily life.

Upon hearing this, someone at the table accidentally knocked over his wine glass.

Lu Qiongqi looked at Qin Shi, who was wiping the wine off her clothes with a napkin in shaking hands.

No wonder she received a call from Qin Shi asking her to come to the Lu family’s old house just after she left the police station.

It turns out that Huang Ma has been in contact with her, what a good collaboration between inside and outside.

Lu Zhanyan's voice was steady and powerful: "I didn't come here to see you this time. I just came to look for Qiqi and tell you the result by the way, because I remember that Huang Ma was the nanny that you specially picked for me."

Now that this has happened, Lu Fengping is definitely to blame.

When Lu Fengping heard this, she was also shocked: "I, I don't know, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Lu Qiongqi calmly continued to analyze: "The servant's son kidnapped the master. Do you think there could be any misunderstanding? The evidence is irrefutable. If you have any doubts, you can go to the police station."

"However, I think there may be a misunderstanding somewhere. Aunt Huang was recruited into the Lu family by my aunt. Didn't you check her background beforehand?"

"Or do you have other intentions for not reporting the knowledge?"

After listening to Lu Qiongqi's words, Lu Fengping first looked at Lu Fengkai nervously, waiting for him to make a decision for her, but he did not say anything. Instead, he looked at his son Lu Zhanyan with a serious face.

She looked at her daughter again, hoping that Qin Shi could argue for her, but her always smart daughter remained silent.

The silence seemed a little strange.

Like carrying the weight of some secret.
