It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Seeing this, Ye Nanyue was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what was going on!

Is this... encountering his subordinates?

The old shopkeeper's eyes instantly turned red with excitement. He definitely couldn't fake that look. He was so excited that his hands couldn't help but tremble!

The old shopkeeper walked up to Lu Huaiyang tremblingly, his eyes fixed on Lu Huaiyang, staring at him with burning gaze.

It was obvious that he didn't dare to believe his eyes.

As if he couldn't believe it, Lu Huaiyang appeared in front of him at this moment.

"Master, Master?"

The old shopkeeper walked up to Lu Huaiyang and finally called out in a trembling voice.

After calling out "Master", his knees went weak and he knelt down towards Lu Huaiyang!

As soon as the old shopkeeper knelt down, Lu Huaiyang reached out to help him: "Shopkeeper Xu, get up."

When Shopkeeper Xu heard Lu Huaiyang call out his last name, he became even more excited and said tremblingly, "The master has returned. This old servant should pay his respects."

Lu Huaiyang exerted some strength with his hands and helped Shopkeeper Xu up.

Then, he lowered his voice and whispered in Shopkeeper Xu's ear, "No need to be so polite... Don't reveal my identity."

Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what Lu Huaiyang meant.

He nodded hurriedly, his voice trembling: "Yes, yes...I understand."

Shopkeeper Xu stood up, still looking very excited. He stood up tremblingly, his eyes kept looking at Lu Huaiyang, and he was obviously unable to control his excitement.

"When will the master return? How long will he be back this time?"

Shopkeeper Xu asked cautiously and in a very low voice.

Although he knew that now was not a good time to ask these questions, Manager Xu still couldn't help it.

I haven't seen Lu Huaiyang for so many years. Although the people under him are still working hard and diligently, everyone's hope is becoming increasingly slim.

They even didn't know or were not sure whether Lu Huaiyang could come back.

Now, seeing Lu Huaiyang suddenly without any warning, how could Manager Xu not be excited?

Seeing Manager Xu like this, Lu Huaiyang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Let's talk about this later. Prepare two rooms for us first."

Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and realized that this was not the place or time to talk.

Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, then he saw Ping An being held by Lu Huaiyang and Ye Nanyue beside him. After a little thought, he seemed to understand something!

Shopkeeper Xu had already stopped crying a little, but now he couldn't help but let his tears flow down.

I was so excited that I couldn't control myself!

Shopkeeper Xu didn't dare to ask any more questions. He bowed respectfully to Lu Huaiyang and immediately asked the waiter to book a room.

"There are two top-grade rooms. Please follow me upstairs." Shopkeeper Xu shouted, then walked in front tremblingly, leading the way upstairs.

Looking at the excited expression of Shopkeeper Xu, Ye Nanyue remained silent.

Ye Nanyue knew that this Shopkeeper Xu was a shopkeeper under Lu Huaiyang in the original book who was very good at managing accounts and running the inn.

He is also very loyal.

No matter how others bribed or threatened him, Manager Xu remained unmoved.

When I was reading the book, I just thought that the ancients were foolishly loyal and didn't think about it too much.

Now that I have actually seen a living person, I understand how rare this loyalty is.

Manager Xu took them upstairs and to Room No. 1, where Nanzhi was assigned one of the rooms.

Shopkeeper Xu led Ye Nanyue and her family of three to the bigger and better restaurant next door.

After entering the room, Manager Xu immediately turned around and closed the door.

He also cautiously closed all the windows.

Then, Shopkeeper Xu came back and stood in front of Lu Huaiyang. He kowtowed to him respectfully several times, "This old servant greets the master, madam, and young master!"

Ye Nanyue felt a little uncomfortable with an old man kneeling down on her, but Lu Huaiyang shook his head slightly at her, signaling her to be calm and not nervous.

Ye Nanyue nodded and stood there upright without saying a word, just waiting for Manager Xu to finish his kowtow.

Shopkeeper Xu kowtowed three times respectfully before standing up at Lu Huaiyang's call.

When Manager Xu stood up, Ye Nanyue realized that the old man's eyes were very red and he was really crying.

Shopkeeper Xu looked at Ye Nanyue and nodded with satisfaction. He didn't dare to look at her any longer and just looked at Xiao Ping'an.

Christmas Eve looked at Shopkeeper Xu curiously.

Shopkeeper Xu wiped his tears and said, "My apologies to the Madam and the young master. I haven't seen you in such a long time. I was so excited that I couldn't control myself for a moment."

Ye Nanyue smiled and said nothing.

Lu Huaiyang said to Shopkeeper Xu, "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

He hadn't said much, but just this one sentence had already moved Shopkeeper Xu even more: "I don't deserve this. If it weren't for the master, I'm afraid we would have died countless times."

"Master has suffered so much over the years. I, along with them, have been looking forward to your return day and night. Finally, this day has arrived..."

"The master also brought back the young master. Very good, very good."

"If you knew, you would probably be as excited and happy as I am..."

"Master, have you resolved your issue? Can you return to the capital?"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Xu was still unable to contain his excitement, Lu Huaiyang's expression and tone became more serious. He said to Shopkeeper Xu, "It's almost time. Go back to Beijing to take care of some things first. If you want to stay, you'll have to wait for some time."

Shopkeeper Xu looked at Lu Huaiyang seriously and expectantly. After hearing what he said, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said to Lu Huaiyang: "Yes, yes, I understand. It's a good thing that you can come back..."

"Some time ago, I heard rumors in the palace and guessed that the master's return might be imminent. I never expected that he would actually return."

As Shopkeeper Xu spoke, tears streamed down his face again.

Ye Nanyue looked at him and thought that the old man was really loyal and quite excited.

When talking to Lu Huaiyang, he couldn't help but look expectant.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Xu was sensible. He asked a few questions and then stopped asking.

"Master, you have been tired from traveling. I will send some water and snacks right away. How many days will you stay here?" Shopkeeper Xu stopped crying and wiped his tears before asking.

Lu Huaiyang: "It will only take two or three days, there's no rush."

Shopkeeper Xu nodded, wiped his tears and nose with his sleeves, went downstairs, and asked someone to bring some hot water.

After a while, tea and snacks were served.

Shopkeeper Xu personally brought up a plate of small dishes and wine, and said to Lu Huaiyang, "If the master has any instructions or needs money, just tell this old servant."

Lu Huaiyang nodded: "Well, you can report the matter of money and the account to my wife later."

"Except for the total number of banks, you don't need to report anything else to me!"

When Lu Huaiyang said this, Manager Xu looked at him in surprise!
