It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

"I watched you grow up, and I admire your character and talents very much."

"My health is getting worse day by day, and I don't know how long I can live."

"Don't worry, sir. I will protect you till my death." Wei Hu said with red eyes.

Lu Kui smiled and gently patted the back of Wei Hu's hand.

Lu Xingchen was originally sitting in the lobby of the county government office when the second wife hurried in.

"Xingchen..." The second lady looked anxious.

"What's wrong with you? Don't be anxious, just take your time to talk." Lu Xingchen stood up and held the second wife's hand.

"Your second uncle has really lost his mind. He really wants to take those one hundred people and leave Xing County to Hexi Road."

"It's more than a thousand miles from Xingxian to Hexi Road."

"Your father only went to Song County once, and he encountered bandits. He had to walk more than a thousand miles, and who knows how many dangers he would encounter along the way."

"Go and persuade him not to leave."

"Second Uncle has made up his mind. If I try to persuade him, he will only become more determined to leave." Lu Xingchen said calmly to the Second Madam.

"Why is he so stubborn? Even nine oxen can't pull him back." The second wife stamped her feet.

She thought that if she didn't follow and Lu Xingzhu didn't follow, Lu Nie would not really leave Xing County and return to his hometown in Hexi Road.

His wife and children are here, why would he go to his hometown in Hexi?

But she never expected that Lu Nie would actually pack his luggage and leave Xing County.

"Even if Second Aunt begs you." The Second Lady said as she was about to kneel down.

Lu Xingchen reached out and helped her up, "Second Aunt, please don't be like this. If I go, it will just add fuel to the fire. It's not that I don't want to go."

"Your second uncle just wants you to give him a way out." The second wife looked at Lu Xingchen with a pleading expression.

Lu Xingchen shook his head and said, "Second Uncle will come back naturally if he encounters danger after he goes out."

"so……"

Lu Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "I will go out and find some people to secretly follow my second uncle and protect him in secret."

"If he is in danger, I can protect his life."

The second lady knew that this was the best solution.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Xingchen..." The Second Lady nodded repeatedly and turned away eagerly.

Lu Xingchen left the lobby of the county government office and called Zhang Fan over.

Zhang Fan had been recovering from his injury for nearly ten days and was almost fully recovered.

"Young Master..." Zhang Fan shook his strong shoulders, meaning, you see, I am fully recovered now.

He straightened his strong back.

"Take two hundred people with you and protect the Second Master secretly..."

Zhang Fan frowned, "Isn't the Second Master going to leave? Why are you escorting him?"

"He wants to go to Hexi Road. Should I send him to Hexi Road?"

When Zhang Fan heard that the second master wanted to be the county magistrate, he had already been dissatisfied with him.

The old county magistrate has retired, so of course the new county magistrate must be their young master to be qualified.

Even though the second master is the old county magistrate's younger brother, he is not qualified to be the county magistrate!

"Just send him out of Xing County." Lu Xingchen said.

Zhang Fan's expression looked better now. "Okay, I'll go see him off."

As Zhang Fan said this, he gathered his men and went out of the city to escort Lu Nie.

Lu Xingchen prepared to return to her residence to carefully study the two books that the system gave her.

Wei Hu walked in, knelt in front of her, and said, "Wei Hu will protect the young master until his death."
