The emperor didn't know yet that Qiu Jihong had brought him into an unsolved case.

Lu Jiao rubbed his nose and said, "It must be someone from the Guo family who is scolding me behind my back!"

She was busy at the Guo Mansion for a long time and her stomach was empty again.

The two roast ducks and five pancakes I had eaten earlier were all digested in a short while.

She ate all the way back to South City.

When she got near Lu's house, she felt unsatisfied and packed five more roast ducks.

It was wrapped in lotus leaves, tied with thread made of tree bark, and carried back to Lu's house.

Lu Jiao handed the three roast ducks to Uncle Zuo: "Uncle Zuo, take them. I'll give you an extra dish tonight!"

"Master, every time you come back, you always bring us food. We really... can't help you. We feel so ashamed!"

"Why are you ashamed? I just ate something delicious and wanted to share it with you. If you don't want it, I'll take it back and give it to Aze!"

Although Uncle Zuo said no, his body was still very honest.

He turned his body slightly and avoided the hand that Lu Jiao extended to him.

"Hehehe, then this old man will thank you on their behalf!"

The Lu residence was a bit quiet today. Lu Jiao looked around, but didn't see anyone except Uncle Zuo.

"Where are they?"

"Ma Liu and Zhuo Qi went to decorate the new house.

The rest of the people followed Boss Lu to the farm, and they will go to pick up the bride on the 28th. Will you come to watch the ceremony, young master?"

Lu Jiao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Aze and I will both come."

Uncle Zuo's face immediately broke into a smile: "Hey, hey! When they come back later, I will definitely tell them the good news!"

"I'm going back to my room first. When Uncle Wei comes back, tell him I have something to talk to him about!"

"Okay!" Uncle Zuo closed the door and walked towards the kitchen carrying three roast ducks.

Lu Jiao strolled to the backyard.

I pushed open the door and although no one had lived there for a while, I could tell that someone cleaned the place regularly.

The table was also very clean, with almost no dust.

She sat at the eight-immortal table and took out the package from the space.

There was a layer of paper roll on the top before, and Lu Jiao thought it was all correspondence between Guo Xi and Guo Zhongjiang.

When I poured it out, I found that there were a lot of yellowed letters under the paper roll.

You can tell at first glance that this isn't something from the last ten years.

Could it be related to the old case of the Tong family?

Thinking that the contents might be related to Yan Yuanhao, Lu Jiao opened the letters one by one and started reading.

When Lu Wei returned to the Lu residence, he heard Uncle Zuo say that Lu Jiao was looking for him, so he hurried to the backyard.

It just so happened that he also had something to say to Lu Jiao.

But before I walked into Lu Jiao's room, I saw her sitting in front of the eight-immortal table from a distance, holding a letter in her hand, motionless.

Lu Wei thought about it and it seemed that nothing horrific had happened in Southern Dian Kingdom recently.

Why does Lu Jiao's expression look like the emperor is about to die?

He knocked gently on the door: "Sir, you're looking for me?"

Lu Jiao's expression was a little dazed; she had not yet recovered from the blow.

Really... Even though Lu Jiao was not involved in the letter, he felt that the content of the letter was quite excessive.

What's more, Yan Yuanhao is the grandson of the Tong family.

She raised her head woodenly and looked at Lu Wei: "Ah, you're here! Sit down first."

Lu Jiao put the letter back and sorted it out in order.

Lu Wei cautiously asked, "Sir, what happened?"

"It has nothing to do with us. The prince asked me to check something. I couldn't help but take a look. Alas—"

Lu Jiao sighed heavily and said nothing more.

Although Lu Wei was very curious, he knew that this was no longer something he could know, so he changed the subject.

"Uncle Zuo said, Sir, are you looking for me?"

Lu Jiao seemed to come back to his senses at this time and remembered the purpose of this trip.

"Has the Guanyin statue been delivered to Concubine Shu?"

"It's been sent in. The informant reported back that Concubine Shu was very pleased with the news.

But she still urged us to arrange for a gynecologist to come to the palace and check her pulse."

Lu Jiao frowned and said, "Tell her to wait first.

We can send things into the palace, but we are not as capable as the Guo family to send people into the palace.

If she was really anxious, she might as well provoke Concubine Xian and ask the Guo family to arrange someone to go to the palace to take Concubine Xian's pulse.

She will just wait until Concubine Xian finishes the diagnosis, and then she will intercept the patient. Will the doctor still refuse? "

"I'm afraid that Concubine Shu will not agree. Isn't this lower than Concubine Xian?"

Lu Jiao stretched out her finger and waved it in front of Lu Wei: "Don't underestimate me, your mother! Giving birth to a son for your majesty is one of her life goals.

As long as she can achieve her goal, she doesn't care what means are used."

Lu Wei didn't know whether he should nod, so he just shook his head.

How can you talk about your own mother like that?

"By the way, I heard from Uncle Zuo that you and Sister Tian will be getting married in three days.

Is there anything missing?"

Maybe because he has been teased frequently recently, Lu Wei no longer blushes, but the area of his neck near his ears is a little pink.

"Everything is ready! I'll just have to wait until the day after tomorrow when I go to the outskirts of Beijing to hunt a pair of wild geese and then everything will be perfect! Sir, will you come then?"

“I will definitely not miss this kind of happy event, and Aze will also come back.

By the way, please pass orders to everyone, whether high or low, to remember us if any neighbor asks about us.

We are your nephews from a distant family, and we are here to watch the ceremony."

"Yes, son!"

Seeing Lu Jiao packing up his things, Lu Wei said, "Sir, Su Wu and Ma Liu have all bought houses, and now only Zhuo Qi is left without a place to stay."

Speaking of Ma Liu, Lu Jiao thought of the beef soup he had just drunk.

"Ma Liu's shop is pretty good."

"Sir, have you been there?"

"Yes, the father and son who own the shop are very smart and can be trained well."

Lu Wei smiled foolishly as if he was praising himself.

"Young Master, you haven't met Su Wu and the others yet, right? I'll introduce them to you on my wedding day!"

"Okay!" Lu Jiao stuffed the cloth bag into his arms and left Lu's house.

Seeing that it was still early, she called a carriage and slowly went back.

She was still thinking about how to start the conversation.

Until she returned to Guiyan Pavilion, she still hadn't thought of the appropriate wording.

Kaiyang saw Lu Jiao coming back, but he seemed a little unfocused, like a wandering soul.

He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lu Jiao's eyes: "What are you thinking about? Did you not get enough sleep this morning? You look so listless."

Lu Jiao couldn't help but envy him a little. It was a blessing to be able to be so carefree.

"Yeah, I was guarding the yard last night and didn't sleep all night. It's been cloudy lately and there's been no sunshine, so I'm not in high spirits."

"You're back just in time, the prince is looking for you!"

Lu Jiao took a deep breath, feeling as if he was going to the execution ground, and followed Kaiyang out.

Lu Ze walked out of the house and saw only their backs. He muttered in dissatisfaction, "Brother, why did you go out again just after you came back?"

Chen Wen also looked over there and explained, "Maybe the prince has some instructions."
