The maidservant who served the two little brats from the second house actually left, and Lu Cheng was very happy.
He walked into the aisle with the servant, gradually increasing his pace.
Lu Yun smiled as she walked ahead of Hui Ge'er, who looked anxiously at two people in the distance. They were Cheng, the uncle's brother who couldn't walk, and his servant. Hui Ge'er reached out to grab his sister, but was surprised to find that she had started running.
Lu Cheng kicked the servant and urged him, "Hurry up."
Lu Yun rushed in front like a small cannonball, and Hui Ge fell behind. The distance between them was getting longer and longer. Hui Ge followed behind breathlessly, "Sister, sister, slow down."
The distance was getting closer and closer. Lu Yun grinned, stretched out his hand and raised his middle finger to the opposite side, and his pace increased again.
Lu Cheng frowned in disgust. This was the obese concubine from the second house. She was in the way! "Ignore her and rush over," he whispered to the servant. The servant nodded and trotted over. Lu Cheng slowed his pace and stared straight ahead, intending to admire the fat girl's expression when she was knocked down.
Lu Yun didn't dodge or evade, exerting all her strength. With a loud bang, the servant was knocked flying and landed three meters in front of her. Lu Cheng's expression changed from joy to shock and fear, and then he was knocked unconscious by the flying servant.
Lu Yun stopped, casually dusted off the dust on her body, and gave herself a "yeah" in her heart.
But she wasn't done yet. Lu Yun walked over to the unconscious Lu Cheng, took a look, then squatted down and yanked out one of his arms. With a few swishes, she tore through his outer robe, jacket, undershirt, and lining, revealing his shoulder. Wow, it was quite white. Then, between her thumb and index finger, she pinched a layer of flesh and twisted it clockwise over 90 degrees. She repeated this three times, successfully leaving three red, almost purple marks on the man's arm.
Now that they were even, Lu Yun clapped her hands in satisfaction, turned around and started crying, revealing a frightened look, and cried in a baby voice, "Brother, Sister Yun is scared."
Hui Ge'er was panting. He still couldn't understand what had just happened. He looked at the two people lying on the ground in a daze. He straightened his chest and said, "Don't be afraid, sister. Brother is here."
"Gurgle, gurgle" Lu Yun's stomach rumbled. Cai He happened to come hurriedly from the alley entrance. She was shocked to see two people lying on the ground, one of whom was even shirtless.
She hurriedly turned her back, her mind a tangle as she hurriedly led the two young masters away. Once they reached a sheltered area, she carefully felt around them one by one. Seeing that they looked normal, Caihe finally felt relieved. Recalling the scene she had just witnessed, her expression gradually grew solemn. After escorting the men to their master's residence, Caihe took out a few copper coins and asked a maid to pick them up and take them to the backyard to find Madam Chang.
A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Chang came in from the other side, leading a few strong maids. She bowed and said, "This servant greets you, sir. This is an emergency. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."
Master Lu was a little unhappy today. It was one thing to have a greedy little girl, but why did the servant come in without waiting to be told? However, he did not want to hit a smiling person. Master Lu coughed softly and motioned the child to take the box from Nanny Chang. "It's okay, I won't bother you. Madam, please tell me what you want."
Nanny Chang bowed again and said, "Madam said that Grandmother missed the young master very much and wrote to take him to her mother's house for a few days, so she sent me to ask for leave from you, sir."
Upon hearing this, Master Lu was very amiable and said, "Madam, you are too polite." After that, he lowered his head and quickly wrote down a few homework assignments, stroking his beard and said, "The young master is very talented, honest, kind, and friendly. Please pay more attention to him, Madam." Nanny Chang responded with a smile.
When the eldest wife sent someone to invite them the next day, the siblings had already been packed up and sent to Zhang's family home. The Ping'an Marquis's residence was in the east of the city, while Zhang's family home was in the west. The carriage took an hour to get there.
The Zhang family was a simple family. My grandfather was an official, and my uncle was away on business all year round and had yet to marry. The only people at home were my grandmother, my great-grandmother, and a few long-time servants. They lived in a three-story house with a small side courtyard to the east, which seemed to be a new addition at the back.
Old Mrs. Zeng had a head full of silver hair and a ruddy complexion, and she spoke with great energy, "Your mother sent a letter last night, and your grandmother has arranged for you to stay for the time being." Lu Yun followed her elder sister and nodded obediently.
Old Madam Zeng brought Lu Yun to her side again, examining her carefully. She turned to look at Sister Rong and smiled kindly, "This must be Sister Yun. Your mother has mentioned her to me several times in her letters. I heard she has a big appetite." She touched Lu Yun's arm and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this child is as strong as a calf."
A little calf? Haha, she was a calf—she dreamed that she had grown up to be a muscular bull, with two huge horns on its head, its hooves stomping lightly on the ground and then with a powerful blow, it knocked Lu Cheng over.
In the darkness, Lu Yun opened her eyes and felt her empty belly. She tiptoed out of bed and walked through the darkness toward the outer room. Bright moonlight filtered through the lattice of the door. Three plates of snacks lay laden on the small round table in the hall. "My dear," Lu Yun's eyes lit up.
The next day, the old servant who was cleaning the house replaced the empty snack plates as usual and helped the young ladies and masters wash up.
Rong Jie'er took the lead with her younger brothers and sisters to pay their respects to their grandmother. When the three of them arrived, their grandmother was practicing sword in the yard. The old lady was wearing training clothes and holding an unsharpened steel sword in her hand. She swung the sword with her hands, as smooth as flowing water, and the whole process was done in one go.
Hui Ge'er was so mesmerized that he couldn't take his eyes off her. Lu Yun had a hunch that this move of Mrs. Zeng's was extraordinary, better than any swordplay she had seen in her two lifetimes combined. Mrs. Zeng's breathing remained steady. She took the towel handed to her by the servant, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and called out to the children, "Let's go, follow Grandma to have breakfast."
Caihe led Lu Yun to the large rice bowl. As usual, Rong Jie'er gave half of her breakfast to her younger sister. Lu Yun ate without even looking up, until the plate and bowl were empty.
Although her daughter had warned her in advance, Mrs. Zeng was still a little surprised to see such a gluttonous little girl for the first time. She held Yunjie in her hands and weighed her. She felt a little heavy, so she put the child down and reached out to touch the child's lower abdomen, shoulders, back, and arms.
Lu Yun, who was being tossed around, felt like she had lost all desire to live. "Please save the child," she blinked and looked at her elder sister.
She had done this before, and Sister Rong covered her mouth and laughed.
Finally, Mrs. Zeng was willing to put the doll down. She seemed to realize she had lost her composure and pulled out a few jade pendants from a black lacquer box beside her, giving each of them one. She also gave Lu Yun an extra, a gold necklace inlaid with gemstones. "This one belongs to Sister Rong and Brother Hui. This is for you later," she said, putting the necklace on Lu Yun.
Lu Yun felt her shoulders sink. She knelt down and kowtowed to Old Lady Zeng sincerely, "Thank you, Grandma."
