"Silver...where is my silver? It's over, it must have been stolen!" Lu Shengshi screamed. She and Old Madam Lu only had those ten taels of silver left. Now that the silver was lost, they couldn't even go back to their hometown!

The restaurant owner didn't believe this, and grabbed Lu Shengshi and yelled, "You don't have money and you want to eat for free! If I can open a restaurant, I won't let you eat and drink for free!"

"Ah... let go..."

Lu Shengshi struggled, and the next second he was knocked to the ground by the restaurant owner.

Madam Lu hurried to help Sheng Shi up, and said to the boss with a sad face, "If my family hadn't fallen on hard times, we would never have come to your place to eat! Who would cheat you out of this meal..."

"Oh! So you are an old lady from a wealthy family! Come... tell us today which family you lived in before... and let us open our eyes! Hahahaha!"

The boss and his employees gathered around, pointing at Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi and mocking them.

The onlookers around were all watching with sarcasm, not believing what Mrs. Lu said at all.

Lu Shengshi was so angry that she yelled, "We are the family of the Lu family! The Lu family was harmed by Wen Qiqi and suffered a disaster! Let's have a meal here today, so you don't have to look down on us like this!"

"Lu Mansion? Could it be the relatives of Lu Zhanyao who was imprisoned in the Sky Prison a few days ago?"

The boss looked at Mrs. Lu in disbelief: "Are you Mrs. Lu?"

Madam Lu, who had not been recognized for many days, was overjoyed and immediately felt that she had gained some face.

"Ahem, I am Madam Lu! Now you should believe that I have seen the world and would never bring my daughter to cheat you for a meal, right? Please let us leave today, otherwise..."

"What else?"

The owner of the restaurant had a dark face. "Everyone knows that Lu Zhanyao and that Lord Yu even cheated the money of the candidates for the imperial examination! You Lu family are so unscrupulous. If it weren't for General Wen's daughter who captured your son and Lord Yu in one fell swoop, your conscienceless son would have cheated countless crying students!"

"Yes, I am a scholar, but I am so miserable!"

"Don't mention it. My son has been studying for three years. He is so unlucky! He happened to meet Lu Zhanyao and that old eunuch in collusion... You son of a bitch, my son studied hard every night and was exhausted, but he met the vampire you raised!"

The more they cursed, the more hateful they became. Seeing that Madam Lu was old and Lu Shengshi was a female relative, they decided not to hit her.

Someone directly picked up a bowl of leftover fish soup and rushed towards the two of them!

"what……"

Lu Shengshi was splashed with fish soup on her face, which was very fishy. There were fish bones hanging all over her hair and clothes...

Then, someone else picked up the leftovers and put them directly on it!

Seeing that he would not get his meal money back, the boss simply instigated everyone to kick out the shameless mother and daughter who were eating and drinking for free!

"Mom... I'm so mad! If my brother gets out of jail one day, I'm going to destroy this store!"

Lu Shengshi was very annoyed. He wiped the fish soup off his face with his sleeve and cursed angrily.

Madam Lu sighed and pulled Lu Shengshi, saying, "Let's go quickly! We don't have money to give them... If they change their temper later, I'm afraid they will send us to the county government office!"

"Yes, yes! Mom... let's go!"

As Lu Shengshi turned around while dragging Madam Lu, she bumped into someone.

She couldn't suppress her anger and looked up with her eyes wide open!

"It's you?"

The woman in front of him was dressed simply, with a calm expression and a pair of slender eyes that revealed a shrewd look. There was a blue birthmark the size of a child's fist on her left eye socket, so she was very easy to recognize.

"Aren't you going to the old house to look for our benefactor?"

The woman with the blue birthmark nodded slightly, looked at the two people's embarrassed appearance, and whispered: "Come with me and talk."

Lu Shengshi supported Madam Lu and followed the woman to an inn. The woman handed a silver ingot to the innkeeper, and then took Lu Shengshi and Madam Lu into a guest room on the second floor.

"Go wash yourselves. I'll go out and buy you two sets of clothes. I'll be back soon!"

"Thank you so much, benefactor!"

Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi were very grateful and hurried to wash themselves. They also discussed borrowing some money from the woman later.

Soon, the woman with the blue birthmark came back as promised, with a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old by her side, holding two clothes made of very fine material in her arms.

"Please change into these clothes."

The woman said coldly.

Lu Shengshi was very excited as she stroked the smooth material.

All her old clothes were left in the Lu Mansion. The set she was wearing was made of coarse cloth and bought in her hometown town. It was uncomfortable and stuffy. After changing into the one given by the woman, she felt as if she were the arrogant Second Miss Lu of the Lu Mansion again.

"Thank you so much! If I hadn't met you today, my mother and I really don't know what to do!"

Lu Shengshi thanked him profusely and said in a low voice, "Benefactor, we have collected the money and have already gone to the prison... We have delivered the letter."

The woman with the blue birthmark nodded and said, "Very good. As long as you believe in me, the Lu family will definitely make a comeback one day. The premise is that your brother is loyal to my master and fully cooperates."

"sure!"

Lu Shengshi wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him. Madam Lu even held the hand of the woman with the blue birthmark and asked stutteringly, "May I ask who is your benefactor?"

Even if this matter has no chance of success, the woman with the blue birthmark in front of him is the last hope of the Lu family.

Unwilling to live a poor life in their hometown all their lives, Mrs. Lu and Lu Shengshi swore that they must grab this life-saving straw!

"You don't need to know which mansion I'm from. I'm also working for my master!"

The woman looked at Lu Shengshi and stared at her for a while with her slender eyes: "Did you lose the silver today?"

"Yes, my mother and I sold our good farmland and scraped together fifty taels of silver after a few days. Ten taels were spent on the journey and thirty taels were paid for the prison. Now, I only have ten taels left. I originally wanted to have a meal and then go back to my hometown, but in the end..."

Lu Shengshi sighed: "A tiger in troubled times is bullied by a dog! When our Lu family makes a comeback, I will make sure this shabby store can't continue to operate!"

"Since you have collected the money and gone to the prison, it means you really want to cooperate with my master."

The woman with the blue birthmark looked at the girl beside her and said, "Take it out!"

The girl nodded, and then took out four gold ingots from her arms!

Suddenly, Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi's eyes lit up and they swallowed their saliva.

The two were about to extend their hands to take the gifts as they were thanking her profusely. The woman looked at them coldly and said, "These...are not for you!"

"what?"

Lu Shengshi forgot to close his mouth.

"Go back to the old house... and find all of Lu Zhanyao's concubines. Expenses in the countryside are not high, and these four gold ingots are enough for you to live on for a while! Remember, no heir of the Lu family can be left behind, find them all!"

"Yes Yes!"

This is exactly what Mrs. Lu wants!

The Lu family was already in a state of disgrace after their property was ransacked.

These days, Aunt Mei and the third and fourth wives have been causing trouble again. In order to protect their own private money, they all took their children back to their mother's home, which really made the relatives who once tried hard to curry favor with the Lu family look like a big joke!

"My benefactor, you really...really helped our Lu family a lot!"

Madam Lu was about to kneel down to the woman with the blue birthmark. The woman smiled and said, "You're welcome. I told you that I'm only doing things for my master. You two just need to go back and take good care of the Lu family. Remember my words, not a single one of Lu Zhanyao's descendants can be left behind! Find them all!"
