At this moment, the eldest brother of the Hu family saw that the head of the Sun family was about to scold her, and hurriedly stopped her:

"Brother-in-law, Rong'er is right. Our two uncles are not outsiders."

Then he turned to Sun Huirong and said:

"Rong'er, uncle thinks you're right. After all, Miss Lu saved your mother's life. Since we made her promise, we should do it!"

Sun Huirong was overjoyed when she heard this. She went up to her two uncles and acted coquettishly, making them laugh.

After laughing for a while, the eldest brother of the Hu family straightened his expression and said to the head of the Sun family:

"Brother-in-law, this is indeed difficult to handle, but it's not completely impossible.

Wei, the county magistrate in the county government, and I are sworn brothers, and his brother works at the city gate.

If he really wants to do it, I will invite him out for a drink.

But whether this can be done depends on his intention."

Upon seeing this, the head of the Sun family nodded in agreement without saying anything else.

"In this case, I'll trouble you, uncle.

However, no matter how good the relationship is, it still requires money to manage it.

I'll ask Xing Jian to send some money over later for my uncle to use when he's trying to build relationships."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers of the Hu family refused in unison.

"How can this be done!"

"Need not!"

The eldest brother of the Hu family frowned and said:

"Brother-in-law, how come you're not as good as Rong'er? Even Rong'er knows that we two uncles are not outsiders. Brother-in-law, you don't treat us as your own family!"

Upon seeing this, the head of the Sun family quickly begged for mercy, and Sun Xingjian next to him also pleaded for his father.

In the end, the head of the Sun family agreed to stop sending money, but he made up his mind secretly.

After I get back, I will send over the underglaze-colored Tang Dynasty court porcelain that I have treasured in my study for a long time.

After the matter was settled, Sun Huirong returned home with her father and brother. On the way, she was scolded by the two men and had to lower her head.

He looked like he knew he was wrong, but in his heart he was happy for helping Daya.

At the same time, he secretly decided that the next time he saw her, he would definitely take credit for it.

Daya is so generous, I will have to give her a few jars of tangerine peel and honey drinks when the time comes!

As he thought of this, a sly smile appeared on his lowered face.

...

In the yard, Lu Qingqing was fighting with Qin Lang, but she kept making mistakes.

Even the somewhat slow-witted Qin Lang noticed something was wrong, but he thought she was feeling unwell, so he leaned closer and whispered:

"Daya, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to drink some water? It will make you feel better!"

Lu Qingqing came back to her senses, shook her head, and focused her attention back on the fight.

"I'm fine. I was just lost in thought. Let's continue!"

After saying that, the wooden sword in his hand moved quickly and stabbed towards several fatal points on Qin Lang's body.

The attack was so sudden that Qin Lang was stabbed by the sword before he could prepare.

Looking at the extra dots on the clothes, Qin Lang also started to get serious.

Near noon, the two were planning to go back to the house for lunch when they heard a "bang bang" knock on the courtyard door.

Lu Qingqing realized something and hurried to open the door. Standing at the door was indeed the eldest son of the Sun family.

He looked around, asked the servants behind him to wait outside, and then went in.

Inside the house, Lu Tianming and his group had already come out to greet them and invited them in.

Young Master Sun waved his hand to refuse the tea and said directly:

"Don't bother, I'll leave right away.

Miss Lu, my uncle's family has already found the connection.

At 1:00 a.m. tonight, you will go south along Zhenwu Road and go straight to the South City Gate.

At that time, there will be an official named Wei waiting at the city gate, and he will let you out of the city.

There is just one thing: you must be quiet at night and not attract other people's attention.

If this is discovered, not only will you be arrested, but the Hu family will also be in trouble!"

Lu Qingqing and the others quickly said they understood, and Master Sun gave them a few more instructions before saying goodbye and leaving.

As soon as the people left, everyone in the yard had smiles on their faces and whispered happily.

Lu Tianming cleared his throat, stopped everyone from talking, and emphasized again the importance of keeping quiet at night.

He asked each family to pack their luggage and feed the horses in advance.

At the same time, in order to prevent the horses from making noise, all horses had to have their mouths tied as before before setting off at night.

All the younger children in the team will also have to stuff their heads with cloths.

Lu Tianming reviewed the night trip again and asked everyone to start getting busy.

As for himself, he drove out in his carriage, intending to explore the route in advance.

By the way, tell the real estate agent about giving up the lease of the yard.

This is to prevent them from suddenly disappearing and causing the pawnbroker to report to the police and attract attention.

For a moment, everyone in the yard became busy.

At the end of the night at 11:00 PM, everyone in the team was already waiting in the yard.

Every household has finished packing and is waiting anxiously.

During the day, Lu Tianming had already explored the route and knew the approximate time it would take to reach the South City Gate from here.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he was the first to drive the carriage out.

Behind them, carriages followed out in an orderly manner.

The last family locked the gate and threw the key back into the yard.

The pawnshop has a backup key to this gate, and Lu Tianming has already discussed it with them.

It was late at night and the whole street was extremely quiet.

Going out at this time just happens to avoid the night watchman.

Lu Tianming drove the carriage in the front, driving carefully while observing the surrounding situation.

The lantern hanging on the carriage was not very bright, and I could only barely see a little of the road ahead.

This resulted in everyone in the team having to suppress their fear and keep up with the team.

The team had traveled most of the way and was about to reach the South City Gate when a cat's meow suddenly came from the right front.

Everyone was startled by the sudden noise, and the child in the car was so scared that he wanted to cry, but the cloth in his mouth stopped him from crying.

The child tried to pull the cloth out, but was held down firmly by the adult next to him.

Even the horses were frightened by the sound, and they stopped and kicked their hooves nervously.

Lu Tianming looked at the place carefully and saw nothing unusual, so he drove the carriage forward again.

When they arrived near the South City Gate, everyone's hearts were not at ease, but became even more nervous.

In the distance, Lu Tianming stopped the carriage and was about to go forward alone.

Lu Shuhe wanted to follow, but was stopped by him.
