Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

Nothing unexpected happened. Both of their personal belongings had been packed, and Ning Ruyan could leave directly with the packages after she came back.

In other words, Lu Zhenyuan asked his followers to find two tricycles, otherwise they would not be able to fit all the items.

Of course, one tricycle is used to transport luggage, and the other is for Ning Ruyan and Liu Yan to ride. Two small stools are placed in the back with cushions, and that's all.

Otherwise you can just walk there.

Ning Ruyan already knew that Lu Zhenyuan would arrange accommodation for them, but she didn't say anything. After all, it was her daughter's idea, and she was also a matchmaker. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be a family in the future.

There is no use in talking more.

Moreover, she said she wanted to go back to her parents' home, but she didn't want to go back unless it was absolutely necessary. It would be easier to talk to her parents.

The main reason is that she has an older brother on her mother's side, and she is afraid that her elder sister-in-law will have objections.

All the way to Maoer Hutong, of course, Lu Zhenyuan did not take the two girls to the big courtyard, but to another property. As mentioned before, he had obtained a lot of properties from the grain trafficking business, and this was one of them.

There is a large courtyard with three entrances, where people live, but the middle courtyard is basically empty.

Besides, they are all our own people, so I feel at ease to place them here.

"Auntie Ning, we're here." Lu Zhenyuan helped the two of them get off the back of the tricycle.

Liu Yan was about to get her luggage but was stopped by Lu Zhenyuan.

"Just let them take it. Let's go in and take a look first."

Lu Zhenyuan led the two of them to the courtyard. They had already received the news that he was coming. Although they were told not to show off, the respect in the eyes of the people they met along the way could not be faked or hidden.

All this was noticed by the perceptive mother and daughter.

The following conversation made the two of them feel the mystery of Lu Zhenyuan.

A middle-aged woman came over from the middle courtyard to greet them. "Boss, you are here. The house has been completely tidied. You can move in now."

Lu Zhenyuan nodded and said to the two people behind him: "Aunt Ning, Yan Zi, this is Aunt Cao. If you need anything in the future, just tell Aunt Cao directly. She will arrange it for you. She is one of our own."

Although he didn't want to deliberately show off anything in front of the two of them, he wouldn't hide anything too much either. After all, given the personalities of this mother and daughter, they wouldn't feel at ease living here if he didn't show them some of his strength.

It is inevitable to have the feeling of being dependent on others or other things.

"You seem to be a few years older than me, so I'll call you Sister Cao." Ning Ruyan took the initiative to greet her.

Liu Yan also greeted Aunt Cao.

"Madam, Miss, please don't be polite with me. If you have anything, just let me know directly. I live in the west wing."

Ning Ruyan glanced at Lu Zhenyuan and felt more and more that she had made a good judgment in making Yanyan choose Xiao Lu.

Boss, this is not a casual title. Usually servants call their employers "boss". Secondly, this is also the name for the owner of the residence. It seems that this courtyard belongs to Lu Zhenyuan.

After settling the two of them down and making sure there was nothing wrong, Lu Zhenyuan planned to leave.

Liu Yan sensibly saw him off all the way to the door.

"Okay, go back. I'll come to see you when I have time." Lu Zhenyuan raised his hand and said goodbye.

Liu Yan glanced around, confirmed that there was no one around, then quickly stepped forward, kissed Lu Zhenyuan on the cheek, and then quickly ran back to the yard.

"Tsk tsk, like a thief." Lu Zhenyuan muttered. If he wanted to hide, would Liu Yan succeed? I thought this girl was very brave. She dared to tease him before, but now she is like a quail.

When Liu Yan returned to the house, she found Ning Ruyan sitting on a stool in a daze.

Seeing Liu Yan coming back, he raised his head and said something that almost made Liu Yan unable to hold back, "Yan Yan, we mother and daughter are eating and drinking for free here, are we being kept by someone?"

Obviously these were shameful words, but coming from Ning Ruyan's mouth there was no sense of incongruity at all. After all, she had seen this kind of situation many times, but it was not uncommon.

In the past, this kind of thing was commonplace among people at their level.

In addition to keeping a concubine at home, you have to keep a few more outside. If you can make ends meet, you can bring one home and she will be your new concubine.

Liu Yan rolled her eyes. How could she not understand what her mother meant? It was obviously asking her to try harder.

But she only had a vague understanding of Lu Zhenyuan's affairs, and she was also prepared to be the subordinate. She should just lie down and look for an opportunity to talk to her mother about this matter. Don't be too clever and end up making things worse in the future.

But I can’t say now.

Liu Yan opened the bag she had been holding and handed it to Ning Ruyan.

When Ning Ruyan saw the contents of the bag, she was completely helpless. The other person really didn't take the money seriously. Did he leave the money behind as a gift to her? It seemed that there was only one person left who could please the other person.

"Yanyan, mother will rely on you from now on."

"Mom, what are you talking about? From now on, we mother and daughter will never be separated." Liu Yan comforted her mother.

Just as the mother and daughter were comforting each other, Lu Zhenyuan had already returned to Yard 95.

"Xiao Lu."

Just as they were about to pass through the Chuihua Gate, the door of Yan Jiecheng's house suddenly opened, and Yu Li's figure appeared at the door.

"Yu Li, what's wrong?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes and said, "You should call me sister-in-law!"

Lu Zhenyuan laughed and thought to himself, "If I call you sister-in-law, wouldn't that be provoking Yan Jiecheng?" Ever since the incident when his sister-in-law's hands got cold, Yan Jiecheng had been guarding against him like a thief.

Really, I underestimated him!

Lu Zhenyuan really misunderstood Yan Jiecheng. It was not because he was afraid that Yan Jiecheng had any thoughts about Li. Lu Zhenyuan was deliberately teasing him. Even if he didn't react to it at the time, he would remember it later.

What Yan Jiecheng was afraid of was that Yu Li would lose her composure.

After all, as he grew older, Lu Zhenyuan grew not only in height, but his facial features also became more obvious, with almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and an exceptionally tall and strong figure.

The vest on him couldn't hide the lines on his abdomen at all, making him look like a masculine handsome man! Which man wouldn't be nervous?

In the past, because of Lu Zhenyuan's style of doing things, he didn't have much friendship with the people in the courtyard. In addition, there were two fairy-like beauties in his family, so some of the old ladies in the courtyard couldn't stand the Lu family and gossiped about them behind their backs.

They dislike your poverty and envy your wealth, and the same applies to your appearance.

They have nothing to do every day and are always looking for a sense of existence. When they see someone is good-looking, they say that they are a foxy woman behind their back. When they see someone is rich, they say that their money comes from illegal sources.

Evidence? What evidence do you need for making up stories?

But in the past two years, because of Lu Zhenyuan, this kind of gossip behind the back has really become less common.

The saying that opposites attract and likes repel is absolutely true!

It's just hard for the men in the courtyard. In the past, if these men looked at other women a few more times, it would be a big deal for their own wives. They would either make trouble with you or with others.

He was trying to embarrass himself, fearing that others would not know.

When it's their turn, they start to complain about your discomfort, saying things like "I was a beautiful girl in my youth, but now I'm a pile of cow dung." They just say it without thinking.

Therefore, the gentlemen in the courtyard had quite a few complaints about Lu Zhenyuan.

It’s not just that you’re good-looking, you’re also physically strong and good at fighting.

This made the men nervous, fearing that they would be accused. They knew that this kind of thing would not happen, but it was embarrassing! Their wives were greedy for the beauty of other boys, but they had no substance, only face.
