My lady, I'm going to rebel.

Lu Rou was amused by everyone's reaction and smiled sweetly, "Cousin, I know what you want to do this time. As long as you need me, I will definitely help you."

Han Zi was stunned. He probably didn't expect Lu Rou to say that.

To be honest, he was conflicted before he decided to investigate the matter. He knew that if he brought up the past, it would only hurt Lu Rou. However, he never expected that Lu Rou would say she would help him.

"Roumei!" Han Zi's tone fluctuated, "But I heard that you agreed to marry Fengquan."

Lu Rou paused, then slowly said: "But I have no feelings for him."

Han Zi's eyes flickered, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm the one who got you into trouble. If you don't want to get married, I can help you."

Lu Rou forced a helpless smile and shook her head. "I'm already very grateful that he's willing to marry a woman like me. Besides, our family has been in some trouble recently, and they can help."

Mu Zheng thought to himself, it seems that no matter what era it is, there will always be some things involved between families.

"What trouble is your family in? How can I help?" Han Zi asked.

Lu Rou shook her head. "You can't even protect yourself right now, how can you help me?"

Han Zi was stunned, then turned his gaze to Li Lian and Mu Zheng.

Mu Zheng understood immediately, "Master Lian might have that ability."

Li Lian: Hmm?

Then he smiled and said, "He could hardly protect himself, but he managed to save himself, didn't he? So don't underestimate me."

Lu Rou thanked him and said, "Li Lian, we grew up together. Don't I know what you're capable of? I heard you've been in trouble lately, and someone even wanted to assassinate you. You should avoid appearing in public. I'll go back and tell my family and they'll send you two guards."

Mu Zheng laughed in silence. How could these three people's communication be so inconsistent? They all seemed to know each other well on the surface, but in reality, no one knew anyone else.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. I have guards, and they're very capable." Li Lian waved his hand nonchalantly. "Just tell me, do you really want to marry Fengquan?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The wedding date has been set. It's on the 10th of next month." Lu Rou said.

Han Zi heard this and said, "Okay, I understand. I will help you."

Lu Rou just smiled when she heard this, she didn't take Han Zi's words to heart.

After leaving the tea room, Mu Zheng keenly felt that there were two pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, or to be more precise, staring at their group of people.

Sure enough, after a while two people came towards him.

They first glanced at Lu Rou, then bowed to Li Lian, and finally shouted to Han Zi, "Han Zi, you really are not dead. The head of the family asked you to go back and see him."

When Han Zi heard that his grandfather was looking for him, his expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Li Lian, standing by, shouted, "Han Yu, didn't you kick Han Zi out of the house? Why are you inviting him in now?"

Oh?

Mu Zheng still doesn't know that Han Zi was kicked out of the house.

"Master Lian." Han Yu was arrogant in front of Han Zi, but polite to Li Lian. "Han Zi faked his own death, and given his previous bad reputation, he was expelled from the family just to prevent the Han family's ancestors and grandchildren from being implicated."

"Oh. That's a nice thing to say. Expelling him from the family means that your Han family has given up on seeking justice for him. And really, how could the Han family offend the Feng family over a dead person?"

Hearing Li Lian's undisguised ridicule, Han Yu's face changed slightly, but he did not continue to argue with Li Lian. Instead, he looked at Han Zi again: "Although you are no longer a member of the Han family, you are still a Han family member. There are some things that should be explained clearly."

"Not interested." Han Zi turned around and was about to leave.

"But your father is already on his way there. If you don't go, it will be a bit difficult for me." Han Yu spread his hands and said.

Mu Zheng felt that the person in front of him was very pretentious.

Isn't Han Zi's father his uncle? But there's no respect in this man's words. Moreover, he's just provoking her, and pretending to be helpless. You're helpless, but you still look down on Han Zi!

Mu Zheng looked at Han Zi. Han Zi obviously didn't expect that the other party would use his father to force him.

"where?"

"Old house."

Han Yu walked away in a leisurely manner, as if he was afraid that Han Zi would want to borrow his carriage.

Han Zi stood there with a surprised look on his face.

"Shall we go with you?" Li Lian called Cao Pengfei and asked him to harness the carriage.

Han Zi shook his head. "Since it's the Patriarch who's looking for me, it's not convenient for you, an outsider, to go. If things can't be explained clearly today, he'll still come to me tomorrow."

Li Lian thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. But if he didn't go, what if someone wanted to harm Han Zi again?

"I'll go." Mu Zheng stepped forward, "I'm Han Zi's bodyguard now, so I'm not an outsider."

"Brother Mu." Han Zi looked at Mu Zheng with gratitude. Mu Zheng smiled and said, "We are all brothers. Let's solve the problem as soon as possible so that you can go to the Imperial College as soon as possible."

Li Lian glanced at Mu Zheng and asked, "Why are you always thinking about sending Brother Han to the Imperial College?"

Mu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean I'm thinking about him? If he didn't go to Chang'an, how could he know Liu Xiu?"

"Of course. If someone can enter the Imperial College, he will be a noble person in the future. I am just a country boy, why should I cling to him?"

Mu Zheng deliberately smiled at Han Zi, while Han Zi looked embarrassed and said, "Brother, you know that I don't plan to go back to the Han family."

Of course Mu Zheng knew.

Before coming, Han Zi told him that after Han Zi got into trouble, Han's father asked the family to thoroughly investigate the murderer, but in order to silence Youyou, the Han family actually announced that the eldest branch of the family would be expelled from the family.

Now Han Zi's father runs a grain shop on the street, which was funded by Li Lian.

Therefore, Han Zi did not want to return to the Han family. Moreover, he was worried that if he intervened to investigate the old incident, the clan would even intervene to stop him.

"Ahem!" Mu Zheng didn't care whether Han Zi returned to the Han family or not, he just wanted him to go to Chang'an. "If he doesn't go back to the Han family, then he doesn't go back. This has nothing to do with whether he can enter the Imperial College or not."

"But if I don't go back to the Han family, how can I have the money to support my life in the capital?"

"Looking for Li Lian!"

……

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Han family. Han Yu stood there waiting. Seeing that Han Zi did not come on foot as he had imagined, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes. "Sure enough, it's different when you get to know a few young masters outside. No wonder you don't put the family's interests first."

Han Zi ignored him.

He left the protection of the Han family and still had friends to help him. I wonder if anyone would lend a hand if Han Yu encountered the same situation.

Mu Zheng followed Han Zi and arrived at the lobby after a few turns.

There were quite a few people in the hall, led by a man in his fifties, presumably Han Jiahao, the patriarch of the Han family. On either side of him sat two men in their thirties. One of them, Han Mo, was a man Mu Zheng had met before, and the other was presumably Han Zi's second uncle, Han Jing, the suspect in his framing.

"Grandpa, Han Zi is here." After Han Yu said this, he stood aside obediently, while Han Zi stepped forward and saluted.

"Haha, Han Zi is here." The man at the top waved at Han Zi with a kind face, "I haven't seen you for a few months. You've gotten a little darker. Come forward and let grandpa take a look."

Han Zi walked forward. Just when Mu Zheng thought he was going to Han Jiahao, he saw him walk in front of Han Mo: "Dad, let's go."
