Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

There is something in the words!

"Young Master Yu Jian" also has a temper.

Zhao Xu can let this matter go, and the Lu family must also make a statement.

Lu Baijie could only smile bitterly in his heart.

The Lu family has experienced many ups and downs in its hundreds of years of inheritance, but after growing and developing over the past century, they have never suffered such humiliation as the destruction of the central gate.

However, Lu Baijie couldn't get angry at all, because the other party's identity and strength were there.

The Lu family dared to use force in front of Zhao Xu today, so now they are being given a light punishment and a severe warning, which is already for the sake of Beiliang's face.

"But Second Brother is wrong. However, the decision still needs to be made by the head of the family in the capital!"

Zhao Xu frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "It would be better to change someone to take charge of the affairs of the Lu Mansion. Otherwise, if you meet someone else, you know very well how many blows this huge mansion can withstand!"

"Young Master, since you reminded me today, I will definitely pass it on to my elder brother!" Lu Baijie's face was a little heavy. Although Zhao Xu's tone was tactful, the meaning was clear.

"Mr. Zhao, please follow me into the mansion!" Xu Zhihu interrupted their conversation at the right time, and the atmosphere suddenly eased.

"Thank you, Princess!" Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

When crossing the main gate, Zhao Xu glanced at the servants and said casually: "The prestige of the master of the Lu Mansion seems to be a little insufficient!"

Lu Baijie, who was standing next to him, heard it clearly and knew that the other party was alluding to what had just happened.

No matter what, Xu Zhihu is only the young lady in name. It is really unacceptable that she has to support her orders herself!

Xu Zhihu, who was walking a little ahead, was slightly shocked when he heard this. He liked Zhao Xu even more and thought to himself that he would write a letter to Wei Xiong and others to praise him next time!

After the real owner left, many people emerged from unknown corners, carrying the corpses and the wounded and cleaning the scene.

The middle door was also quickly reinstalled and repaired. Everything seemed to have been planned in advance and was carried out in an orderly manner. This is the foundation of a wealthy family.

The courtyard is deep and the Lu Mansion is a typical Jiangnan garden style. Even someone as knowledgeable as Zhao Xu was a little surprised.

The Lu Mansion had a great reputation in Jiangnan and even in Liyang because its Zhuoxin Garden had hosted six emperors.

The mountains, rivers, lakes, rocks, plants and trees in the garden are all carefully designed and maintained by gardening experts and feng shui masters.

Among the gardens in Jiangnan, Liyang is the best, but Zhuoxin Garden is one of them. It stands out from the crowd of excellent ones, which shows its unique ingenuity.

Xu Zhihu led the way, and Lu Baijie accompanied them. Behind them were only their maids and servants, and no one else.

Lu Baijie came from a scholar family and was influenced to a certain extent, so his speech was not old-fashioned, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.

Xu Zhihu's freehand garden is located in the northwest corner. It is not small, but not very lively. Most of the people in the garden came from Beiliang.

These people were very enthusiastic towards Zhao Xu and were obviously very fond of his coming.

After sending the person to the gate of the courtyard, Lu Baijie bowed and said goodbye. There were still a lot of troubles that needed him to deal with.

The person Zhao Xu was visiting was the Princess of Beiliang.

As for the other members of the Lu family, given their current relationship, Xu Zhihu would arrange for him to receive him.

After entering the yard, Xu Zhihu asked his personal maid Erqiao to prepare cakes and meals, while he chatted with Zhao Xu about family matters.

An elder sister is like a mother. Xu Zhihu looked at Zhao Xu with more and more satisfaction.

They also felt sympathy for each other. Their mothers had both passed away early, and he had a good impression of Xu Zhihu, and their relationship gradually became close.

Zhao Xu stayed in Xieyi Garden.

On the surface, everything seemed calm in the Lu Mansion.

The gate has been renovated and restored to its original state.

A gag order was also issued, strictly prohibiting servants from talking about what happened at the gate today.

The name of "Young Master Jade Sword" spread throughout the continent. Even though some people knew that the Lu family was no match for them, no one would think that they were weak.

But Jiangnan has the same name, and in their minds, reputation means strength and status, and what’s more, the decision makers of the Lu family today have made such a mistake.

If the news gets out, it will be a huge blow.

Bad news spreads far and wide, and embarrassing things cannot be completely covered up.

What the Lu family is doing now is to let this matter circulate only among the upper class.

The Huting Lu family is one of the most prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if other families have conflicts with the Lu family, they will only make fun of them openly or secretly and will not spread the matter to the general public.

Of course, the loss of the Lu family’s reputation among the Jiangnan aristocratic class was inevitable.

……

Lu Baijie was regarded as a sword immortal by the people of Yangzhou, but the Tuibu Garden where he lived was the smallest of all the courtyards in the Lu mansion.

He spends most of the year either practicing or traveling and exploring secluded places. His life is very simple.

Backward Garden.

Lu Xuanlang looked grim. He sat next to Lu Baijie and asked hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

"Master Yu Jian is fine for now. The servants have already issued a gag order!" Lu Baijie nodded in response, and then he continued:

"However, we still need to deal with the rumors from the outside world!"

"That's good!" Lu Xuanlang felt relieved, but he couldn't let go of the frustration in his heart.

"The central gate has been destroyed. The Lu family has never suffered such a great humiliation in the past hundred years!"

"Brother, that was 'Master Yu Jian', do you think he couldn't hear it?" Lu Baijie spoke with a stronger tone.

"I..." Lu Xuanlang was a little speechless. A man like Zhao Xu, whose whole army was enough to make an enemy, and whose power was unparalleled, was someone the Lu family should not have offended. But he just did such a stupid thing.

After a long silence, Lu Xuanlang suddenly spoke:

“I’ve said it before, that woman is ominous, she should be kicked out of the Lu family!”

"Second brother, if it wasn't for Zhihu today, what would have been the consequences? It's unimaginable!" Seeing that the other party shifted the focus to Xu Zhihu, Lu Baijie shook his head helplessly.

Prejudice is like a mountain. Once formed, it is extremely difficult to remove.

"She is the one who caused all this!" Lu Xuanlang became excited when he heard Lu Baijie speaking for Xu Zhi.

"Brother, you were not like this before!" Lu Baijie's expression turned serious.

"I will tell the Patriarch everything about this matter, and he will make the final decision then!"

“Seventh brother, I…” Lu Xuanlang finished speaking.

“Don’t target Zhihu anymore. ‘Young Master Yujian’ could have been a great help to my Lu family, but now…” Having said this, Lu Baijie couldn’t continue, so he stood up and returned to the training room to continue his training.

He knew in his heart that it was impossible to eliminate the malice that everyone had towards Xu Zhihu, but after experiencing this incident, he should be able to calm down for quite some time.

Lu Xuanlang looked at his seventh brother's leaving back, stood up dejectedly, and slowly walked out of Tuibu Garden.

"Master Jade Sword" arrived in Yangchun City and clashed with the Lu family of Huting.

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the news spread among the gentry in Yangchun, Huting and Yangzhou.

Just when many people were waiting to see what was to come, the Lu family came out to refute the rumors.

It is said that "Master Yu Jian" is a friend of the second princess of Beiliang.

This time I went to the Lu family just to visit the eldest princess.
