Song Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react. It took him a long time to understand the true meaning of Lu Shangbai's words.

She said, "Thank you, Brother Lu. However, as for Su He, if I have the chance, I would like to take him back to my hometown."

Lu Shangbai smiled, but there was a hint of loneliness in his smile.

They are all smart people, and some things don’t need to be said clearly.

Lu Shangbai is not a young man in his teens or twenties. He is in his thirties, has both a son and a daughter, and is in charge of the huge Lu family business.

Some things are no longer suitable for him to do.

It was just a rare heartbeat, but it ended in vain.

Song Yu returned to Zhelangxuan and saw Su He standing at the door from a distance.

She walked over, Su He stood up straight and watched her walk towards him step by step.

"What did he say to you?" Su He asked casually when she came closer.

Song Yu said: "It's nothing, it's about her daughter."

"Why should I ask you for help with her daughter's affairs?" Su He complained in a low voice.

Song Yu had already stepped into the yard, but he paused and suddenly turned around to look at Su He.

Su He was puzzled: "What, what happened?"

-

"Master, the bank under the name of the second young master did have a large expenditure of silver, but they said it was to purchase a batch of new goods." Chao You reported the information he found to Lu Shangbai.

After hearing this, Lu Shangbai sneered, "New? Ha, based on what he said."

"They are so bold that they dare to attack the second young lady." Chao You said.

Lu Shangbai said, "We just released the news this morning, and something happened at noon. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, Lu Shangsong actually wanted to use this as leverage against me."

"If the girl's conspiracy to murder her elders is proven, it will definitely affect her reputation. They actually attacked a child. They are so heartless." Chao You said with a frown.

Lu Shangbai casually fiddled with the abacus on the table and said, "Not only that, if this is confirmed, and I later reveal the evidence of them hiring a killer, they will also blame me, saying that I was dissatisfied with this matter and deliberately framed them for revenge."

"They reacted really quickly, causing us to lose the opportunity to accuse them. Now there's nothing we can do even though we have evidence," Chao You said.

Lu Shangbai was silent because Cheng Huan's matter forced him to produce evidence in advance. Although it was forged, the story was true.

Lu Shangsong didn't dare to let anyone investigate further, so the two of them took a step back. Lu Shangbai would not pursue the matter of the bandits, and Lu Shangsong could not tell anyone about Lu Chenghuan pushing his wife.

Falling into the water, causing miscarriage, they really have the heart to do it.

"Young Master, what should we do next?" Chao You asked.

Lu Shangbai thought for a moment and said, "How's the investigation into the assassin going?"

Chao You said, "I don't have any clues yet, but I've already left Wuying Tower to investigate, so I should have some news soon."

"Wuying Tower?" Lu Shangbai asked.

Chao You explained, "It's a killer organization in Jianghu, and they have their base in the city."

Lu Shangbai raised his hand and said after a moment, "Send someone to check Lu Shangjing's recent movements and see who he has been in contact with in the past month."

"Yes." Chao You accepted the order.

To outsiders, the Lu family appears to be a harmonious and harmonious place with friendly brothers and respectful friends. However, the hidden mysteries and undercurrents within are only known to them.

The next day, Song Yu went out. Although she didn't plan to look for a house outside, she had to prepare some things she would need on the road.

Wanjian Villa is a bit far from Shangjin City, with three cities in between. Even if you take the official road, it will take almost a month to get there. And if you ride a horse, it will take half a month to travel day and night.

Taking the small path saves time, but it is not safe.

They had to prepare food and some simple medicines in case of emergency.

The food is not expensive, the dry food is not expensive, but the biggest expense is on the medicinal materials.

Song Yu took Su He out, but ran into Lu Chenghuan as soon as they left the yard.

"Chenghuan, are you looking for me?" Song Yu asked uncertainly.

Lu Chenghuan glanced at Su He behind Song Yu, swallowed, and said, "Father said that you are new here, and as the host, I should do my best to show my hospitality to you."

Song Yu walked over and couldn't help but gently pinched Lu Chenghuan's soft little face: "Okay, let's go shopping together." The touch was indeed good.

Lu Chenghuan was stunned. No one had ever done such an intimate thing to her in her entire life.

When Song Yu saw her shocked expression, he suddenly realized that his actions were really out of line for a lady of this era.

"Sorry, Auntie didn't mean it. You were just so cute that I couldn't help it." Song Yu quickly explained.

Lu Chenghuan reacted and his face flushed instantly.

She looked away and said in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "No, it's okay."

After saying that, she turned around and left. Song Yu looked at her back and sighed in his heart. It was a pity that he would never have the chance to pinch her soft and cute little face again.

Unexpectedly, just after thinking this, Lu Chenghuan stopped after walking a few steps and looked back at her in confusion: "Aunt Song..., you, aren't you leaving?"

Song Yu then realized that the child was not leaving, but wanted to lead her the way.

Song Yu nodded: "Let's go, of course we have to go."

Lu Shangbai heard Lu Chenghuan going to find Song Yu early in the morning and followed her out. He was not worried, but just instructed Chao You to send more people to follow from a distance.

Chao You is worthy of being Lu Shangbai's right-hand man. He had already made arrangements before Lu Shangbai even said anything.

After breakfast, Lu Shangbai also wanted to inspect the shop. Before he walked out of the courtyard, he was stopped by Mrs. Lu's maid.

"Master, Madam asks you to come over." The maid bowed respectfully and said.

"Mother wants to see me? What's the matter?" Lu Shangbai asked.

"I don't know." The maid replied truthfully.

Lu Shangbai said, "Let's go."

When I followed the maid to Qi Garden, Mrs. Lu had just finished breakfast.

Lu Shangbai doesn't need to visit his mother every morning and evening. After all, the Lu family is wealthy and has a lot of things to do.

Although there has not been a formal family handover ceremony, if nothing unexpected happens, Lu Shangbai will definitely be the next head of the family.

Naturally, he would not be too particular about such small etiquette. On weekdays, he would pay his respects to Mrs. Lu on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and eat at the same table with his parents, which was also a reunion dinner.

Lu Shangbai originally thought that his mother was looking for him because of what happened with Cheng Huan yesterday, but he didn't expect that it wasn't the case.

"You could choose anyone else, but why did you choose Miss Song? Aren't she and that Mr. Su an engaged couple?" Mrs. Lu said.

Although she is no longer in charge of affairs, the rumors in the mansion still reach her ears.

Lu Shangbai's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said nonchalantly, "Mother, you misunderstood. My son and Miss Song are innocent and have never had any emotional connection."

Madam Lu stared at Lu Shangbai for a long time, sighed, and said, "That's the best, but you're not young anymore. Cheng Huan and Cheng An are growing up day by day. It's time for you to think about your own affairs."

"I know," Lu Shangbai answered obediently.

"Well, you have to take this matter to heart and not just focus on business," said Mrs. Lu.

Lu Shangbai knew his mother's good intentions, so even though he had no such thoughts, he still answered according to her words.
