Lu Jiao looked over and the man immediately stepped back and hid behind the wall.

She sneered and asked Dayong to help call a carriage.

They were just some little mice, and Lu Jiao didn't take them seriously.

After they walked a mile, Lu Jiao said to the coachman, "Change the route to the Drum Tower."

Lu Ze asked in confusion: "Aren't we in a hurry to go back?"

"After walking all the way and shopping for so long, I'm a little hungry.

It’s a rare trip out, so I must eat well before going back.”

Chen Wen and Lu Ze subconsciously touched their slightly bulging bellies but did not say anything to refute.

After the three of them had their fill, they left the restaurant and asked the waiter to help them call a carriage.

So no one noticed them, and the people who were following them lost them.

In two days, even the waiter at the restaurant might not be able to remember their clothes and appearance, and the people from the Prince of Zhennan’s Palace would have no chance of finding them.

Lu Jiao asked the coachman to stop the carriage near the Prince's Mansion, and made sure that no one was following them before walking back to the Prince's Mansion.

When the gatekeeper saw the three people holding boxes in their hands, he wanted Lu Jiao and the others to open the boxes and check them.

In the past, when Lu Jiao came back with big and small bags of food from outside, they didn't say anything.

It seems that the skin is itchy again.

Lu Jiao glared back at them all with a sinister look.

Chen Wen and Lu Ze didn't want to lose face for her, so they followed her, holding the box and glaring at the servants.

Only after walking into Guiyan Pavilion did Lu Ze's straight back relax slightly.

Covering her mouth, she praised softly, "Brother is awesome!"

"Sometimes, you can't be weak when dealing with villains like this."

"Learned it!"

I don’t know if it’s because they were preparing for the action at night, but Guiyan Pavilion is a little quiet at this moment, and no one is seen.

Even Chen Wen noticed something was wrong and asked Lu Jiao, "Sir, why is the courtyard so deserted today?"

“Some things are better to just know, there’s no need to ask.

You and Lu Ze should go to bed early at night, and don't come out if you hear any noise."

"Yes! Slave...I understand."

Lu Ze's mind was on the wooden box in his arms.

As soon as he returned to the house, he took out the inkstone and soaked it in water.

"Brother! Come and see!"

Lu Jiao knew nothing about such elegant things. Seeing Lu Ze's actions, she asked in confusion: "What is this saying? Does the inkstone also need to be maintained?"

"Yes! My mother gave me one before and taught me how to take care of the inkstone, but..."

As Lu Ze spoke, his mood became depressed.

"But the inkstone must have been taken by a bad guy."

Lu Jiao asked casually, "Does your mother have a dowry list?"

"Yes, but the man must have been burned."

Not necessarily. Lu Jiao refuted this in her mind, but she didn't say it out loud because she had no evidence at the moment.

Lu Ze raised his little face, which was covered with traces of tears.

“Mother gave me a lot of things, they are all in the mansion.

I have nothing left! I don’t have any of the memories my mother left me, wuwuwu——”

Lu Ze threw himself into Lu Jiao's arms, still holding the inkstone tightly in his hand, unwilling to let go, as if that was all he had.

Lu Jiao sighed, gently comforted Lu Ze, and at the same time winked at Chen Wen, asking him to fetch another basin of water.

After Lu Ze finishes crying, he will definitely want to wash his face.

Lu Ze kept talking about everything, from the gold necklace he wore as a child to the brush and wooden spear he used to practice calligraphy and martial arts later.

There were also many other things that Guo Chuan took from him and gave to Li Rufang's son.

Lu Jiao was listening and thinking at the same time.

It is too troublesome to find the list of dowry from Aunt Tong and then check it one by one.

It would be better to collect them all and then find them out slowly.

At the end, Lu Ze raised his head and said, "Brother, can I still ask for my mother's dowry back in person?"

"I'm afraid I can't."

Even if Lu Jiao didn't take action, Yan Yuanhao was still waiting to confiscate the Guo family's property and exterminate the entire clan!

It is definitely impossible to wait until Lu Ze grows up and then go back to get everything back.

However, Lu Ze obviously misunderstood Lu Jiao's meaning and thought that it was impossible to overthrow the Guo family with his own strength.

With a "wow" sound, she cried even harder.

Lu Jiao frantically tried to comfort him for a long time, but she didn't know which of her words Lu Ze took to heart.

He raised his head and a big tear fell on Lu Jiao's leg.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"what?"

"Brother just said that cousin Hao will help me, is that true?"

Lu Jiao scratched his fingers subconsciously: "It's true! He has a grudge against the Guo family and will definitely bring down the Guo family.

You are still young, wait until later..."

"Brother, don't worry! I will definitely learn martial arts and literacy, and in the future, I will work with cousin Hao to overthrow the Guo family!"

"Good good!"

Lu Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as you don't cry.

Just at this moment, Chen Wen came in with a basin of water.

"Aze, go wash your monkey!"

Because he cried for so long, Lu Ze felt a burning pain in the corners of his eyes.

He pouted and wiped his face, not forgetting to steal a glance at Lu Jiao to see if Lu Jiao was laughing at him.

After Lu Ze washed his face, he went out to play for a day, and because he had been crying, he yawned quickly, took off his coat, and crawled into bed and fell asleep.

Lu Jiao looked at the boots that were kicked into a mess beside the bed.

Never mind. Today is a special day, so just let him go.

She called Chen Wen and said, "After I leave, lock the door.

You should also go to bed early tonight, and no matter what noise you hear, don't come out.

Wait until I come back, or tomorrow morning, before leaving the room.

Remember? "

"remember!"

Chen Wen now remembered the strangeness in Guiyan Pavilion.

On weekdays, even if the prince has something to order, there will be someone staying in their yard.

Unlike now, there was no one to be seen, as if all the people in Guiyan Pavilion had disappeared out of thin air.

He washed up quickly and got two chamber pots from somewhere.

"Sir, with this, you don't need to go out at night."

Lu Jiao looked at the two chamber pots. Although they didn't smell bad, she still subconsciously stood up and moved away.

"Okay, I'm out."

Lu Jiao walked out of the yard and used his mental power to sense, and found that everyone in Guiyan Pavilion was gathered in front of Yan Yuanhao's study.

Roughly speaking, there are no more than a hundred people.

It is unrealistic to steal and replace a lot of food with these people.

However, it is enough to disgust the Guo family and Urgutu and to sow discord between them.

She was still on the roof of Guiyan Pavilion, paying attention to what was happening in the Prince's Mansion.

Since Yan Yuanhao gave her this task, if she didn't complete it beautifully, she would be slapping herself in the face!

Sure enough, the unusual movements in Guiyan Pavilion attracted the attention of some interested people.

Because of the previous incident at the cloth shop, Butler Chai was very angry, but he also knew how to pretend to be a good person, saying that he was also helpless and that it was all Yan Yuanhao's orders.

After Hou Ping was brought back to the Prince's Mansion, he was finally woken up, but he could only drool and grin foolishly, unable to utter a complete sentence.

It is impossible to explain what happened that night.

The whole person is disabled and needs to be hired to look after him.
