Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Lu Zhanxing walked towards Mo Yun Tang with an expressionless face. However, when she was halfway there, she suddenly stopped and stared at Lu Tong in front of her with cold eyes.

"Tell me, who do you belong to?" Lu Zhanxing's voice was so cold that people could not help but shiver.

Lu Tong was startled, but soon regained his composure. "Master, of course I am yours!" He tried to look at his master with innocent eyes.

"Stop playing dumb with me!"

Lu Zhanxing glared at Lu Tong. Every time he and Mu Qingli were alone together, Lu Tong would rush over to stop them. How could a servant always interrupt his master's conversation? If he was so tactless, he would have been kicked out long ago. How could he be allowed to continue serving?

Lu Tong was bought by Luo when he was very young. Seeing that he was quite smart, Luo not only gave him the surname Lu, but also let him serve her. His loyalty was needless to say, but he always interrupted her and Mr. Mu's time together, which was a problem.

Lu Tong lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Zhanxing again. He knew that his behavior had aroused the suspicion of the young master, but he still tried to explain: "Young master, I really don't know what you are talking about. The old Duke really wants to see you for something!"

He did not lie about this, but he personally went to Mo Yun Tang to express his condolences. The old Duke wanted to see his grandson, so he hurried back to inform the young master.

"I'll give you one last chance. Tell the truth, or you won't have to serve me anymore."

When Lu Tong heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. With tears and snot, he told everyone what Master Lu had said before he left.

“Master, there is nothing I can do. Master Lu has told me that if I don’t think highly of you, there are a thousand and ten thousand ways to prevent me from staying in the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion. There is nothing I can do, wuwuwu…”

After listening to Lu Tong's explanation, Lu Zhanxing thought of his cold and noble brother, sighed helplessly, and said silently in his heart: "The villain is the villain, he actually turned my servant against him."

"You don't have to do this in the future. I don't have that kind of intention towards Mr. Mu, and you are my man. From now on, no matter if it's my brother or anyone else who threatens you, you must side with your master. This time is fine, but if there is a next time, I won't need my brother to do anything, and you can forget about staying in the Anguo Mansion."

"For this mistake, I will deprive you of food for one day and deduct your salary for three months. Do you have any objections?"

She knew that Lu Tong would not do anything to betray her life, so she only gave him a slight punishment to teach him a lesson.

Lu Tong nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I know I was wrong, and I accept the punishment!"

He was afraid of being driven away by the young master, so he dared not have any other opinions.

After punishing Lu Tong, Lu Zhanxing went to Moyun Hall. This time, after seeing his grandfather, he found that his complexion was even more depressed. He couldn't help but feel worried: "Grandfather!"

The old Duke leaned against the bed and saw his little grandson. His face was kind and gentle: "Okay."

After Huali brought a stool, Lu Zhanxing sat beside the bed and talked with the old Duke.

The old Duke looked at his little grandson, his heart full of love and relief, and slowly said: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and grandfather has finally waited for his great-grandson to appear."

Although both grandsons chose the most difficult path, he had arranged a way out for them regardless of success or failure. Even if the Lu family lost its glory, it would not prevent them from living a rich life.

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing also smiled: "Yes, Grandfather, you have to insist on living a few more years. Maybe my brother and sister-in-law will come back soon."

"I'm afraid that grandpa won't be able to wait for your brother to come back, but grandpa can look forward to your child."

To take such a dangerous road, Changsun will have to stay in Yanzhou for more than three years before he can be recalled. Perhaps I can only see Changsun after I die.

Although it’s regrettable, it’s okay.

At this moment, the old Duke was filled with emotion. He had experienced countless hardships in his life and witnessed the prosperity of his family.

Today, he is filled with joy and satisfaction as he sees his grandchildren supporting each other and striving to carve out their own paths, and as they are about to welcome the birth of a new life.

During his lifetime, he truly felt that his life was complete, and he would have no regrets even if he closed his eyes now.

Hearing his grandfather urging him to have a baby, Lu Zhanxing was a little hesitant. He could have a baby, but now was a time of turmoil, and if he had a baby, he would not be at peace, so he had to give up the idea.

Anyway, my eldest brother already has a child, and the Lu family has the next heir. There is no need for me to force myself to have a child. In this era when medical technology is underdeveloped, having a child is like stepping into the gates of hell.

I still want to be a salted fish prince who sits back and waits for death, but I can't ruin my body just because of having a child. If I really want to have a child in the future, I can consider this matter. Now it's important to work hard on my career.

I think my eldest sister is already 28 or 29 years old, it’s time for her to have a child.

Anyway, I have nothing to do during this period of time, so I might as well go to Yuzhou to visit my eldest brother-in-law and my second brother-in-law. It would be best if I could urge them to have more children. With a nephew, they won't keep an eye on me anymore.

The eldest brother-in-law was the prefect of Yuzhou. After the second brother-in-law learned of his brother's idea, he did not dare to stay in the capital any longer and went directly to join the eldest brother-in-law and others in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is the closest city to the capital and is also a very prosperous city. With the support of my elder brother-in-law, my business is naturally getting more and more prosperous. Recently, I have even connected with the newly established Lin's Trading Company.

After Lin Tao and his family of three arrived safely in Yanzhou, they settled down in Yanzhou Prefecture. The father and son visited the people in Yanzhou, wanting to see what special products Yanzhou had that could boost the local economy and help Yanzhou develop.

With Lu Zhanyan's support, Lin Tao and his son knew that there were many people raising silkworms in Yanzhou, and that cloth made from silk was softer and more delicate than silk satin, and not much worse than those precious brocades and Shu brocades. However, the production of such cloth in Yanzhou was very small, and every household made it for their own use.

Occasionally, it would be sold to the local Xuzhou. If it was to be sold to places like the capital, it would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also the travel expenses would have to be paid for, so the cloth from Yanzhou was not very famous.

Yanzhou has several specialties, one of which is chili pepper. Because it is too spicy, no one dares to eat it. However, the Lin family father and son discovered that adding chili pepper to dishes as seasoning is surprisingly delicious. The more you eat, the more you like it, and it even has the effect of dispelling colds.

Another feature is Yanzhou coal, which is rich in resources and has low ash, sulfur, and phosphorus content and high calorific value.

Therefore, the Lin family father and son found Lu Zhanyan and told him about their idea of ​​creating Yanzhou specialties.

Lu Zhanyan immediately posted a notice in front of the government office, announcing that the silk produced and cloth woven from Yanzhou would be purchased at high prices by the Yanzhou government, and chili peppers would also be purchased at high prices. The coal mines would also be allowed to be mined by those serving in the army, and could be sold after the New Year.

This also caused the local people to be very surprised. The government bought back these common things at high prices. Didn't they become rich?
