When Lu Yi heard the emperor's words, the corners of his mouth curled up in joy. The emperor felt even more relieved and took out the dragon-patterned jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Lu Yi.

Seeing people's confusion, he explained: "This jade pendant is extremely precious. I never leave it with me. Now I give it to you as..."

His eyes flickered, and he took the gray rabbit in a very good mood, "Consider it in exchange for the rabbit in your hand."

The group led by the emperor left the hut.

The eunuch who had been kicked twice ran over to Lu Yi with a smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Mr. Lu, you are extremely blessed. It's a great fortune! It's such a great fortune that smoke is rising from your ancestral graves!"

After shouting these words with his fingers raised like a rose, the eunuch hurried over to serve the emperor.

Leaving Lu Yi with a dark face.

Lu Yi stayed leisurely in the mountains, hunting and selling his wares for money. After more than a month of living as a hunter, he finally filled his bulging wallet and rushed home with his gear.

After she left completely, several pairs of observing eyes in the mountains also left.

Before returning home, Lu Yi went to the dim sum shop on the street, picked out a few popular ones and bought a bag of each. When he entered the house, he was surprised to find an acquaintance sitting at the small table and a familiar gift placed in the corner.

But two packs of pastries became one pack.

"Xiaoer, you're finally back. Mother has been looking forward to seeing you day and night! Finally, you're back!"

Lu Yi supported Liu Shuang, who was leaning on his arms, and brought all the snacks into the main room, then touched Kuan Ge'er's head.

When Lu Jian saw his precious son, his unpleasant expression softened a little. He waved his hand and said, "Come and meet your uncle. He just mentioned you."

Lu Fen raised his chin and sat still, his whole attitude completely different from when he first visited.

"Nephew, you've been away for so long, where have you been making a living? If life is really tough, just ask your uncle for help. It won't be a problem for him to find you a job to make a living."

"Even if you're not doing well, you shouldn't lie to me with such big words. After all, we're all family. Your second wife isn't doing as well as your first wife, and there's nothing we can do about it. Don't force things. You can't hide it."

"Haha, second brother, don't you think so?"

Lu Fen stroked his well-groomed beard and proudly turned the conversation to Lu Jian.

Lu Yi glanced at Lu Jian, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot and who said nothing, and recalled how Lu Jian cried after getting drunk that day, and sighed slowly.

Lu Yi walked over slowly, and the jade pendant at his side shook slightly.

"Don't worry about other people's affairs, uncle. After the division of the family, our second branch may not be rich, but we can still afford to eat."

"Tsk." Lu Fen sneered. Did he think he didn't ask?

Not to mention whether the relationship between this nephew and the prince is that deep. Even if it is deep, the king is gone now. Death is like the extinguishing of a light, and it is unlikely that he will be able to make any difference.

Lu Fen turned his head away with disdain, his eyes instantly attracted by the jade pendant on Lu Yi's waist. It was no longer the jade pendant he had seen some time ago.

"This...this jade pendant is..."

Lu Fen was so surprised that he stood up and moved closer, wishing he could put his eyes close to the jade pendant to see the dragon pattern on it clearly.

He was fortunate enough to have seen this jade pendant, which His Majesty had worn since childhood and loved very much!

How could it happen to my own nephew?! These two people are completely different and have nothing in common!

Thinking of this, he asked directly. Even Lu Jian, who was immersed in the sadness of being inferior to his elder brother, raised his head and slightly opened his lips in the same way.

"My uncle said this jade pendant is nothing special. It was given to me by an honorable person, so I wear it."

Lu Yi played with the jade pendant casually for a few times, then looked at Lu Fen with a smile on his face.

"Impossible!" Lu Fen danced with joy, saying excitedly, "Who is that person? You haven't even met him in person, and yet you dare to speak nonsense! If outsiders hear this, our entire Lu family will be implicated by you!"

"Brother, be careful with your words!" Lu Jian said with a stern face.

Lu Fen was still racking his brain when there was a knock on the door and a sharp man's voice rang out, "Is Master Lu home?"

Lu Yi rubbed the jade pendant twice again. When he heard the voice, he immediately thought of the eunuch's figure. The timing of his visit was so coincidental.

As soon as she thought about it, she understood the emperor's intention. He was slapping her in the face.

Before Lu Fen could figure out the words "a noble person gifted me a jade pendant" that were swirling in his mind, many other words suddenly came into his mind.

Rescue the emperor! Be granted a title of nobility! Hereditary succession! Lu Fen's eyes were red with excitement after hearing this!

The eunuch respectfully read the imperial edict, ignored the people kneeling on the ground, and diligently stepped forward to help Lu Yi up.

"Marquis Zhongyi, please stand up!"

"When I first met the Marquis of Loyalty, I knew you had a very blessed future! I'm very happy to have come here."

Seeing the eunuch's face smiling like a chrysanthemum, Lu Yi thought to himself, "You only know how to say one or two compliments." He took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to him.

After everyone left, the people in the yard were still stunned. The first one to react was Lu Fen.

He stared at Lu Yi excitedly, as if he saw a ladder leading to heaven.

If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have tampered with the division list, let alone...

No matter how much Lu Fen regretted that no one paid attention to him, Liu Shuang's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. She smiled and leaned into Lu Yi's arms again, patting Lu Yi's shoulders twice, the joy in her eyes almost overflowing.

"Xiaoer, did mother hear correctly?! You saved the current emperor, and you became a marquis?! My son is now the Marquis of Loyalty?!"
