Chapter 46 The Old Promise
"Yes! Is Miss preparing to go back? Master instructed me to prepare a lot of things for you, and I will have someone help you load them onto the mule cart in a little while."
Lu Huan was somewhat surprised, as his father hadn't been this enthusiastic when he returned to his parents' home in his previous life. However, thinking about the information he had given him, he understood.
Lu Huan didn't care how much money the Lu family could make from it, nor did he care whether the news would reach the Li family.
It's a good thing that more big businessmen know this news—it means that the number of casualties in the North will be greatly reduced in this disaster.
Like the two families who chose to leave their hometowns, war broke out in their hometowns, forcing them to sell themselves and leave their homes. As long as people are alive, money can be earned again, and one day they will find their way back home.
However, if those merchants try to take advantage of the disaster and make a fortune, the Prince of Yan's mansion will not stand idly by and will teach them a lesson.
She smiled slightly and asked casually, "Did Father prepare the same return gifts for the three of us?"
Lu Zheng forced a smile: "How could that be! Master specifically instructed that the return gift for the eldest young lady be 30% more generous than that for the second young lady and the others!"
From the master's instructions, it's not hard to guess that this person is currently the one he values most.
Previously, the young lady's reputation among the ladies was based solely on her looks and character. Now it seems her social skills are quite impressive; she was probably just hiding them before.
His smile grew even more submissive: "Miss, I'll send someone to help you load everything onto the car right away!"
Lu Huan nodded, signaling Shi Gu, Yuan'er, and Bao'er to follow.
She returned today not only because she had to return to her parents' home, but also mainly to tidy up her own courtyard, so as not to give Li any chance to do anything underhanded. She also wanted to see Lu Ruyi's reaction with her own eyes.
However, Lu Ruyi was even more vulnerable than she had expected; she fainted from anger at the slightest provocation.
Lu Huan couldn't help but despise her past self, how could she have been deceived by them for a lifetime.
Lu Ruyi, whom she had disliked, slowly woke up at this moment.
Looking at the familiar decorations in the room, Lu Ruyi was momentarily confused, unable to recall what had happened.
"Ruyi, you're finally awake! Your mother was so worried!"
"Yes, sister, Mother has been watching over you the whole time, and she only ate a few bites of lunch."
"Jinxiu! You can't stay in the Li family any longer! Go and beg your father to let you get a divorce and come back!" Lu Ruyi grabbed Lu Jinxiu's arm suddenly, her nails almost piercing through the thin jacket she was wearing.
"Ouch! Sis, you're hurting me!"
Lu Jinxiu finally managed to pry Lu Ruyi's hands open, and when she rolled up her sleeve, she saw that there were four bright red fingernail marks on her fair arm.
She pursed her lips and placed her arm across Li's face in silent protest. Unfortunately, Li completely ignored her.
Li pushed her hand away, pulled Lu Ruyi into her arms, and tears streamed down her face.
"Ruyi, your sister was sent to the Li family by your heartless father. How could she possibly come back after getting a divorce! Let's not talk such nonsense anymore, okay? Otherwise, your aunt will be unhappy again!"
Lu Jinxiu stood to the side, stubbornly stretching out her arm until it became cold and sore, before slowly lowering it.
I thought my second sister had gotten better, but it turned out to be just my imagination.
"Sister, I'm curious, why did you refuse to go to Uncle's house after you woke up that time, but then asked Mother to move up the wedding date? Was it because you had already planned to switch marriages with my eldest sister?"
"You can call Lu Huan 'Big Sister,' but she has to acknowledge you as her sister first! She said that her mother only gave birth to her as a daughter, and she doesn't have any sisters!"
Lu Ruyi gritted her teeth in hatred, and recalling what Lu Huan had said to her before, she felt a sense of panic. If she could be reborn, could Lu Huan also be reborn and remember what happened to her in her past life?
Thinking this, tears involuntarily fell again, which made Li feel extremely distressed.
She slapped Lu Jinxiu hard on the back: "You know your sister can't stand this, yet you still ask! Are you trying to kill your sister?"
Lu Jinxiu slowly lowered her head, concealing the disappointment in her eyes, and said calmly, "Now that my sister is awake, I am relieved. It's getting late, so I shouldn't stay any longer."
"Let's go, let's go, so you won't be an eyesore here." Madam Li continued to hug Lu Ruyi, not even glancing at Lu Jinxiu.
Lu Jinxiu glanced at Li Shi again, clenched her fists, and turned to walk out.
The white clouds on the horizon were already tinged with orange-red. Lu Jinxiu walked out of the courtyard where she had lived for fourteen years without looking back.
Several people stood before the moon gate between the front and back yards, one of whom stood out. Lu Jinxiu jogged over and called out sweetly, "Cousin!"
The three of them looked at Lu Jinxiu at the same time, and Li Rong's face showed a hint of tenderness: "Can we go back now?"
A blush crept onto Lu Jinxiu's still somewhat childish face: "That's enough."
She then turned to Lu Haoyu and said, "Second sister has woken up and may want to have a heart-to-heart talk with mother for a while longer. I'd appreciate it if you could entertain second sister's husband again, brother."
Lu Haoyu looked at the little girl with affection and nodded: "Go ahead."
The couple did not see Lu Chengde or Lu Huan and his wife until they left the Lu family home.
Li Rong also noticed something strange.
It was one thing that Lu Chengde didn't show up during lunch; but now that they were about to leave, why did he only send out a head steward to see them off?
Has something serious happened to the Lu family?
Lu Jinxiu stood in front of the gate, looking left and right, and found that apart from the carriage that came to pick them up, there was nothing else.
She asked Lu Zheng curiously, "Uncle Butler, has eldest sister returned yet? Why haven't I seen father?"
"Master has gone out on business. Miss also left a quarter of an hour ago."
Li Rong's eyelashes fluttered slightly as he made a mental note of the matter, intending to discuss it with his father when he got back.
On the other side, Shi Gu asked for directions while driving, and finally found Qin's Grain Shop, only to be turned away by the closed door.
Outside the tightly closed shop door hangs a sign: "Owner has something to do, shop closed for one day."
Lu Huan patted Shi Gu on the shoulder: "Pull the car over to the side of the road, we'll just wait a bit."
The day before yesterday, Lu Huan asked Bizhu to pass on a message to her parents, asking them to gather all the old members of the Cheng family. It seems the matter mentioned here refers to that very incident.
Speaking of which, Lu Huan's mother had mentioned the Qin couple many times when she was still alive. If even they had forgotten their promise to her grandfather, then there was no point in expecting anything from anyone else.
In his past life, Lu Huan returned to Yanjing City seeking help and contacted some of the Cheng family's old acquaintances. However, by then, the Qin family's grain shop had already been looted in the disaster, and the Qin couple had also met with misfortune, dying without a complete corpse.
Those people completely denied the agreement with her grandfather, instead saying that she had come to beg for money and that they wanted to get rid of her with fifty taels of silver.
This time, Lu Huan wouldn't let them off so easily. She was going to take back everything her father had given them.
She might not be able to get into Baofeng Money Shop, but couldn't she at least visit those people's homes?
While he was pondering, a head peeked out from the side of Qin's Grain Shop. The person's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Huan and his group, and he ran happily to Lu Huan.
