It was getting dark.

The Lu family's door creaked open.

Madam Liu came out from inside and said, "Brothers, the mistress wants to see you."

"It's so late, what's the matter?" Although several yamen runners said this, they stood up and followed Madam Liu into the courtyard.

The neighbors who were still helping Li Jinglan guard the gate were yawning and shooing away the mosquitoes around them.

Chatting and killing time.

A quarter of an hour later, the Lu family's door opened again.

The yamen runners walked out of the village without stopping.

A young man named Lu An was a little stunned. He chased after them and asked, "Several officers, where are you going?"

A yamen runner replied: "Let's go back to the yamen."

"Why did you leave?" Lu An was stunned.

The bailiffs did not answer and continued to move forward.

He looked as if he was in a hurry to return to the yamen.

Lu An scratched his head and returned to the crowd.

Someone asked him, "Why did the officer leave?"

Lu An spread his hands and said, "He said he went back to the government office. Maybe he has some official business."

"We have more people anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they are here or not." Someone said.

"That's right. With so many of us, the thieves will definitely not dare to come over."

Everyone echoed in unison.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Oh no, oh no, Lu Xuande will be back tomorrow."

"what?"

Hearing the name Lu Xuande, everyone was shocked.

I remembered how terrifying Lu Xuande was.

If Lu Zhangshi is just bad, then Lu Xuande is evil!

He has a lot of friends, from all walks of life.

In the past, there were people in the village who were unwilling to pay rent to Lu Xuan De.

Lu Xuande led his men directly to rob the house.

They also beat those who refused to pay rent half to death.

It scared everyone.

From then on, no one dared to mention not paying rent.

Someone immediately ran away: "I suddenly remembered that the pot at home is still on the stove."

"Oh, I don't know if my wife has put away the farm tools. I have to go back and check."

If one person walks, ten people will follow.

soon.

There were only two people left at the entrance of the Lu family compound, which was once bustling.

"Shall we go or not?" Lu An poked his brother.

His brother's name is Lu Ping.

The brothers' names together are called Ping An.

Lu Ping shook his head: "My parents passed away early, and I was able to survive thanks to Mr. Lu's help."

"Now is the time to repay them. At worst, I can return my life to them. Go away and leave a descendant for our family."

"We two brothers have no land, no house, and no money to marry a wife. How can we have any descendants?" Lu An cursed.

Li Jinglan stood behind the gate and took the brothers' conversation to heart.

At this time, a small door in the back street opened.

The yamen runner who had originally left made a circle and returned to the Lu family.

Nanny Liu welcomed these yamen runners into the courtyard.

Then he walked to the back of the gate and said, "Madam, the yamen runners have been settled."

Li Jinglan pointed outside and said, "If the brothers outside can stop Lu Xuande tomorrow, even if it's just verbal, take them in."

Nanny Liu glanced outside and memorized the appearance of the two brothers.

Followed Li Jinglan back to the main courtyard.

After washing up, Li Jinglan lay on the bed.

The stars are shining in the night sky, flickering.

Watched the stars for a while.

Li Jinglan then slowly closed her eyes, "Sister Liu, you will listen to my orders tomorrow..."

He lowered his voice and gave instructions like this.

Madam Liu nodded heavily: "I know."

"Go to sleep!" Li Jinglan yawned.

Lu Zhang, who lived not far from the Lu family compound, couldn't fall asleep.

She asked again and again: "Has Xuande come back?"

Mrs. Zhang was very sleepy and nodded repeatedly, "He hasn't come back yet."

"Idiot, can't you go take a look outside the yard?" Lu Zhang scolded her.

Mrs. Zhang went out reluctantly.

This wait is just one night.

Neither Mrs. Lu Zhang nor Mrs. Zhang slept well.

It was not until dawn that the two fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Zhang, who was sleeping soundly on the small bed in the outer room, was awakened by the noise.

Mrs. Zhang looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of her.

"Oh? Master, you're back?" Mrs. Zhang was surprised and happy, and quickly got up.

The person in front of Mrs. Zhang was Lu Xuande.

He hummed, "Where's my mother?"

"The old lady is in the room. She has been talking about you all night and I couldn't sleep well." Mrs. Zhang changed her casual attitude from yesterday and became particularly respectful.

Lu Xuande lowered his head and glanced at Mrs. Zhang: "Serve my mother well, and you will naturally benefit in the future."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger and a silver cake fell onto the quilt.

"Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Mrs. Zhang picked up the silver cake, put it in her mouth and took a bite. Looking at the teeth marks on the silver cake, she smiled.

Lu Xuande sneered and turned to go into the inner room.

"Mother, my unfilial son Xuande is back! You have suffered so much! My son is unfilial..."

As soon as Lu Xuande entered the inner room, he knelt down straight.

Noon is almost over.

After lunch, Li Jinglan summoned all the servants in the house.

"Everyone has worked hard these past few days. Sister Liu will prepare some rewards for everyone later."

"The kitchen should buy some more meat tonight to ensure that everyone can have meat."

After Li Jinglan finished speaking, all the servants said in unison: "Thank you, Madam."

While listening to Li Jinglan talking, a few little girls were discussing what was happening outside in the corner.

"Have you heard about what's happening outside?"

"It seems that the yamen runners have left, and the people outside the courtyard have also withdrawn."

"Yes, I saw that it was very quiet outside the yard when I went to empty the chamber pot this morning."

"I heard that Lu Xuande is coming back?"

"What? Lu Xuande is coming back?"

The little girls were between seven and ten years old and had not experienced much.

I only know that Lu Xuan De is a very scary person.

They were so scared that their mouths were slightly open and their faces were filled with fear.

Qinglu turned around and said, "The lady is talking up there, what are you talking about?"

Now Qinglu serves Lu Guanyu personally, and her monthly salary has increased.

He is the tallest among the crowd.

Although the little girls did not obey her, they did not dare to act rashly.

I only dare to use my eyes to dig out the dew.

Li Jinglan saw everyone's performance.

After all, those little girls had just arrived and had little loyalty to her or this family.

She didn't expect these little girls to be loyal.

As long as you don't cause any trouble, just do your job peacefully.

There was a sudden deafening roar outside the courtyard gate.

Along with the noise came angry shouts: "Bitch Li, get out of here!"

Someone banged on the door outside the yard.

It was Lu Xuande and others.

I knocked on the door for a while, but it didn't open.

Lu Xuande waved his hand: "Get on the grappling hook!"

"Okay!" A man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks took out a grappling hook from his arms and threw it over the courtyard wall.

Grappling hook grabs onto the wall.

The man hauled the grappling hook up the wall.

The door was opened in a short while.

"Enter the courtyard!" Lu Xuande walked forward first.

As he raised his foot, someone called out to him, "Lu Xuande, bullying a woman is not what a hero does."

Turned.

But they are the Ping An brothers.

Lu Xuande ignored the two men and just waved his hand.

As he waved his hand.

The burly man behind him stepped forward and slapped Lu Ping in the face: "You bastard, do you think you can stop my boss?"

Lu Ping was slapped and flew into the air and fell to the ground.

Lu An turned around and looked, his eyes bloodshot: "You beasts!"

Another strong man came over and attacked with both hands.

There was a lot of punching and kicking.

Lu An was beaten so hard that he screamed in pain.

It was only then that Lu Xuande spoke up to stop them: "Since you and I are from the same clan, I will spare your lives."

After saying that, he led a few strong men into the Lu family compound.

The journey was smooth.

After arriving at the main courtyard, Lu Xuande saw a woman wearing a bright red dress embroidered with gold sitting at the door of the hall.

Her lips are red without any makeup, and her eyebrows are indigo.

Her every move and gesture was so elegant that she looked like a fairy concubine.

The several strong men behind Lu Xuande suddenly became soft, "A woman like this should be put on the bed and rubbed hard!"

After seeing Li Jinglan's beauty, Lu Xuande was distracted for a moment.

He quickly gathered his thoughts and gave the order directly: "Strip her clothes off and hang her on the door of the Lu family!"

"This is what happens when you insult my mother!"

"on!"

I saw Lu Xuande leading a few strong men rushing into the main courtyard.

The little girls were so scared that their legs went weak.

He collapsed to the ground with a cry.

Qinglu looked around but didn't see Lu Guanyu.

It seemed like Li Jinglan had asked Lu Guanyu to go back to the room ahead of time.

Qinglu thought for a moment, turned around and ran towards the back room.

The strong men rushed into the yard, but Li Jinglan sat quietly.

It was not until these people rushed to the middle of the yard that Li Jinglan put down the tea bowl and looked up at Lu Xuande.

"Is the young uncle back?"

Lu Xuande didn't say anything and just rushed forward.

He is not here to reason today.

I'm here to kill people!

Li Jinglan took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, speaking in a casual tone:

"When your uncle came back, didn't he go to the community school to see your son?"

As Li Jinglan said this.

Nanny Liu, who had just been standing behind Li Jinglan, retreated quietly.
