Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 925

Lu Sangyu looked in the direction of the woman's sobbing and saw that her mother's hands and feet were tied, her hair was cut into several strands, a cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and she was staring with her eyes wide open and making whimpering sounds.

But his hands and feet were free, without any constraints.

He immediately stood up, ran to his mother despite feeling dizzy, and took the cloth out of her mouth. "Mom, how are you?"

Mrs. Lu was so anxious that she made a whining sound to warn her son because she saw that his son had also been caught.

Now that he saw his son was fine, Fang felt relieved and shook his head, "I'm fine."

Lu Sangyu looked at his mother from head to toe several times and confirmed that only a few strands of hair were cut and nothing else was wrong. He felt relieved, but also angry.

He looked at his mother's white jade wrists that were marked with red marks, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

At the same time, a man came out from the inner room with a smile, "It is really presumptuous to invite Lord Lu here in this way."

The man was in his forties, slightly plump, with a beard on his face. When he smiled, the beard trembled.

While Lu Sangyu was untying his mother, he asked without even looking up, "Kidnapped the relatives of an official appointed by the imperial court, do you think your life is too long?"

The man laughed, "You are too kind, Lord Lu." He introduced himself, "My last name is Chen, and I would like to make friends with Lord Lu and establish a relationship with him."

Lu Sangyu's whole body froze, and he looked up suddenly, incredulous, "Master Chen...? Aren't you the adopted father of Lord Cen?"

The man was indeed Baron Chen Jikang of Fuguo. He clapped his hands and a group of people came in carrying several wooden boxes.

As they were opened box after box, gold, silver, jewellery, rare calligraphy works, silks and satins shone with an aura of wealth under the candlelight.

He said, "It's just a small token of my appreciation. Consider it Chen's apology to Lord Lu for what happened today."

Lu Sangyu's face suddenly turned cold, "What if I refuse?"

"That means Lord Lu thinks Chen's sincerity is not enough." He clapped his hands again, and the servants brought in a few more wooden boxes. They opened them one by one, and they were still filled with gold, silver and jewelry glittering with golden light.

This time, Lu Sangyu did not refuse immediately, "What do you want?"

Chen Jikang's face was full of smiles. "Master Lu, I want to be friends with you." He ordered someone to come in and "Take Madam Lu to wash up and don't scare anyone again."

Lu Sangyu's face turned cold, "No need."

"Hey!" Chen Jikang smiled wryly, "Now that people are here, if I really want to do something, why would I wait until now? Sir Lu, please be patient, it's still early, sit down and talk slowly. I've prepared some wine to express my apologies."

Lu Sangyu glanced at her mother.

Mrs. Lu knew that her son still had some work to do and didn't want to hold him back, so she nodded to her son and followed the mother-in-law out.

The servants filed in, bringing good wine and delicious food, and soon a large table was set with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and delicacies from land and sea.

Chen Jikang still greeted him with a smile, "Lord Lu, please."

Lu Sangyu’s mind was racing.

He knew that Chen Jikang was Cen Yuan's adoptive father, and that Cen Yuan had fought for him to obtain this title. Otherwise, with a businessman like Chen Jikang, he would probably never be able to cross the social class barrier in his lifetime.

But later, when Cen Yuan got married, the Chen family did not attend.
