The delicate boy I picked up after traveling through the book is a big devil

The thieves did not want to fight, they quickly glanced around and retreated quickly.

Of the guards who arrived, some stayed behind to protect Lu Shangbai, while others chased after him.

When Lu Shangbai saw the assassin leave, he looked at Shuangque and ordered others to take him down to heal his wounds.

Tonight's assassination came strangely and suddenly.

The assassin was highly skilled in martial arts and had a clear target, and Lu Shangbai's face turned gloomy.

There are many people who want to kill him, but there are only a handful of them who actually dare to do it and even chase him to his home.

The noise of the assassination instantly alarmed the entire Lu Mansion.

Song Yu was also awakened by the noise outside.

She opened her eyes, sat up sleepily, and glanced at the window illuminated by moonlight.

Somewhat puzzled by the noise outside, she thought for a moment, got out of bed, put on a coat, and walked out of the room.

As I stepped out of the room and stood in the corridor, I couldn't see clearly what was happening outside because of the courtyard wall.

"Ayu." A shout came from the side.

Song Yu turned his head to look, it was Su He.

"You were woken up too? I wonder what happened." Song Yu said.

Su He walked up to her and said, "I'm going to go out and take a look. You should go back to the house. It's a cold night."

Song Yu held him back and said, "Forget it. Go back to your room and rest. I'll go check on you. You're not well yet."

As the two of them retreated, the gate of the courtyard was opened from the outside.

Huaying walked in with a lantern in hand. Seeing the two standing in the corridor, she knelt and saluted, then replied, "Young lady, there's no need to panic, sir. A thief has come into the mansion and has been expelled for disturbing our distinguished guests."

"A thief broke in?" Song Yu was surprised: "Did they catch him?"

Huaying said, "It's unknown at this time, but the young master has already sent people to strengthen patrols, so you can sleep peacefully, young lady."

Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you should go and rest too."

"I'll take my leave." Huaying said and left the yard.

Song Yu waited until she left before turning to Su He and saying, "What do you think?"

Su He said, "It has nothing to do with us. The Lu family is a big family with deep waters. I think it's best for us to move out as soon as possible."

Song Yu nodded after listening and said: "Well, you are right, we will go find an inn tomorrow."

Su He agreed: "Okay, go in and rest."

Lu Shangbai stood outside the house, waiting for the doctor to come out from the inner room. He immediately asked, "Doctor, how is it? Is there any fear for his life?"

The doctor said, "The injury is serious, but his life is not in danger for now. I'm afraid he will need to rest for a while."

"Okay, don't worry about the medicinal materials, as long as it's suitable for the symptoms." Lu Shangbai said.

"Okay, then I'll go write a prescription right away." said the doctor, and was led out by the servant to write a prescription and get the medicine.

"Young Master." The patrol chief came to report.

Lu Shangbai looked at him: "Where are they?"

The patrol leader hesitated and said, "The man ran away."

After hearing this, Lu Shangbai didn't get angry. He just asked, "He ran away. Where did he run to?"

The leader said, "Our men chased them to the South Courtyard, but then lost them."

"South Courtyard?" Lu Shangbai murmured.

The Lu family is divided into four major courtyards: east, west, south and north.

There is a small garden in the courtyard. The north courtyard is the main courtyard, where the head of the Lu family and his wife live, that is, where his parents live now.

The west courtyard is his current residence, while the east courtyard is home to Lu Shangsong and Lu Shangjing's families.

As for the South Courtyard, it is a guest residence.

As a guest, the only guests in Lu's mansion now are Song Yu and Su He.

But just because the assassin was lost in the South Courtyard, it doesn’t mean it’s related to the guests. This doesn’t make sense.

"Send people to strengthen patrols, and send someone to inform the master and the mistress. Also send more people over to the second young lady." Lu Shangbai made arrangements.

"Yes." The leader received the order.

After he left, Lu Shangbai went into the inner room and looked at Shuangque lying on the bed.

Shuangque was about to sit up when he saw Lu Shangbai coming in.

Lu Shangbai stopped him: "No need to get up. Let me ask you, have you figured out what kind of martial arts the assassin used?"

Shuangque recalled and said after a moment: "The moves are sharp and the attacks are powerful, but I can't tell what the method is."

Lu Shangbai nodded: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You should have a good rest. I will leave the rest to Chao You. You don't have to worry about it."

"Yes." Shuangque replied. He and Chaoyou were called Lu Shangbai's right-hand men by outsiders.

But he usually takes the lead more often, so most people are more familiar with him, but Chaoyou's ability is comparable to him, or even better.

The next day, Song Yu got up early. She was still a little concerned about the turmoil of last night, but she was a guest there after all, so she didn't ask too many questions.

It was just a chance encounter with Lu Shangbai, and Song Yu had no intention of developing a long-term relationship with him.

If they had not experienced the bandit incident and Su He had not been injured, their original plan was to find an inn to rest when they arrived in Shangjin City and they would not have come to the Lu Mansion.

After washing up, Song Yu thought about finding a place to stay first, and then say goodbye to the Lu family.

But before they went to look for the Lu family, Mrs. Lu asked someone to invite them to the guest hall to have breakfast together.

Originally, Xianglu brought their food directly from the kitchen.

But guests should follow the host's wishes. Since the host invited them, they couldn't refuse and followed him.

When they arrived at the main hall, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Lu Shangbai and Lu Chenghuan were already there.

"Miss Song is here, please take a seat." Mrs. Lu invited warmly.

Song Yu walked to Mrs. Lu's side, and Su He followed her.

Song Yu greeted Mrs. Lu and his eyes fell on the only little girl at the dinner table.

The girl looked about eight or nine years old, and was plump and cute.

Judging from her appearance, she is 50% similar to Lu Shangbai, so it seems that she is Lu Shangbai's daughter.

Lu Shangbai noticed Song Yu's gaze and introduced her, "This is my daughter, Lu Chenghuan."

Lu Chenghuan quickly bowed: "Chenghuan greets Sister Song."

Song Yu thought the little girl was very cute. Madam Lu pulled Song Yu to sit down and said, "We were in such a hurry yesterday that Shangbai didn't tell us in advance that he was taking guests home. If there was any negligence, please bear with me, Miss Song."

Song Yu smiled politely: "Madam, what are you talking about? We are the ones who disturbed you."

"Miss Song, there's no need to say that. Shangbai told me that if you hadn't been alert along the way, my son might not have been able to return home safely." Mrs. Lu felt a little scared when she thought about how Lu Shangbai almost died at the hands of bandits.

"Just helping each other." Song Yu said.

Madam Lu said, "To thank Miss Song, the mansion has prepared a banquet and invites Miss Song to the banquet tonight."

Song Yu was stunned when he heard this and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Madam. However, I came to Jincheng this time to seek medical treatment, so it is inconvenient for me to stay in the mansion for a long time."

"You don't have to worry about seeking medical treatment. Our mansion is recruiting doctors, and we can ask the doctors to treat Mr. Su when the time comes." Lu Shangbai said.

Everyone's eyes turned to him. Song Yu was about to speak when Su He spoke first, "Don't bother. I'm well now. We just want to take a walk around the city and won't stay long."
