If Jiang Li is willing to come back, then of course I can't go to see her empty-handed.

She had previously written a letter about the water conservancy project in Rongcheng, and he had already made a personal trip to Rongcheng.

The general plan has now been completed, and we can start construction as soon as the prefect of Rongcheng responds.

"Master Lu, not yet."

The servant shook his head and added.

"But looking at the time, it will be noon in about a quarter, and the messenger from Rongcheng will definitely arrive."

"A quarter of an hour... Never mind, just wait a little longer."

Lu Daru looked a little surprised, but thinking of the distance between Rongcheng and Cheng'an, he had to wait patiently no matter how anxious he was.

But he still couldn't sit still, so he stood up and ran straight to the flower hall.

Instead of waiting for the servant to pass on the message, it would be better for him to go and see Jiang Li's condition in person.

At this time, outside the gate of Lu's house.

"Squeak!"

The door, which had not been opened or closed for a long time, made a teeth-grinding sound, and then two servants, a man and a woman, came out.

"They are actually the two managers of the inner and outer courts beside Mr. Lu!"

"I'm afraid this woman is in big trouble today. She won't be able to get away easily."

Everyone was joking and waiting for Jiang Li to be embarrassed.

"Miss!"

Then they watched the two stewards of the Lu residence rushing over to greet them, and their attitude towards Jiang Li could not be described as cordial and friendly.

He simply treated Jiang Li as the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

The housekeeper was excited, "It's really you!"

The male steward said repeatedly: "Miss, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come in!"

"Two stewards, could this young lady be the only female disciple of the great scholar who is studying abroad?"

The busybodies couldn't help but shout at the top of their voices, saying that in all the years they had been here, they had never seen the two managers being so kind to anyone who came to their door.

Someone in the crowd muttered, "Didn't they say that the female disciple that Lu Daru accepted many years ago is the imperial concubine in the palace?"

"You probably don't know what Lu Da Ru's favorite student, Xu Da Cai Zi, personally denied during this year's Flower God Festival!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The discussion in the market, which was originally in a low voice, suddenly became louder.

The female manager frowned slightly, glanced at the onlookers on the street, then looked at Jiang Li with a hesitant expression.

"Miss?"

This matter can be explained in just one sentence.

However, the right to explain or not lies in Jiang Li's hands.

"No, let's go."

Jiang Li shook his head slightly and took Jiang Yuanchen into Lu's house.

After many years, the Lu residence still looked the same as she had seen when she was a child.

Following the steward all the way to the flower hall, we saw various flowers in the garden in full bloom.

What is inconsistent with this is that there is a swing placed among the flowers, occupying the best lighting position.

The precious flower trees next to it are only worthy of serving as its foil, providing fallen flowers all over the tree in spring and thick shade under the scorching sun in summer.

The swing looks as bright as new, and it is obvious that it has been carefully cared for.

But when Jiang Li saw the swing, he frowned and there was no trace of happiness on his face.

As soon as we sat down in the flower hall, a maid brought us fruits and snacks.

"These are all Miss's favorite foods. Master Lu always asked her to prepare them."

The female steward personally brought it to the table in front of Jiang Li, smiling, "Miss, try it and see if you like it."

"I like it. Thank you, Miss Zhang."

Jiang Li took off her veil, tasted a piece of dessert, and forced a smile on her slightly pale face.

"Hey! As long as the lady likes it!"

Aunt Zhang couldn't help but wipe her eyes, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face at all.

The other steward also smiled and said, "Miss, you and the young master should take a rest for a while. I will go and invite Master Lu."

Jiang Li shook his head, "No need, Uncle Qiu, where is the master? I should go to see him."

"Miss……"

The steward Qiu Bo immediately looked embarrassed, as Lu Daru obviously had other arrangements.

If I take Jiang Li directly to the backyard, it might cause trouble.

"I see. Did Master ask me to wait in the flower hall?"

Jiang Li tried her best to maintain a nonchalant smile, but couldn't help but tears in her eyes.

She should have understood when she saw the courtyard that had never changed, the swing that was carefully cared for, and the snacks that were always prepared.

Lu Daru would not see her.

He was probably observing her situation in secret at this moment to see if she had been wronged.

Qiu Bo sighed and said with a wry smile, "Master Lu always said that Miss is the smartest."

Jiang Li shook his head, his smile bitter.

If she was really smart, she wouldn't have been deceived by Xie Jun for so many years!

Jiang Li stood up, facing the top of the hall, and knelt down.

"Master, I am an unfilial disciple. I left home because I was disobedient. I have lived away from home for a long time and have not been filial to you for many years. I am already shameless to come to Cheng'an. I dare not hope to see you."

She kowtowed firmly, her eyes watering.

"I only sincerely hope that you will be healthy and prosperous forever, and don't commemorate me, your unfilial disciple."

She had planned to bring the children here to confess her crime, but the group from Yaogu found nothing, and even... got the worst result.

That's why she turned to Cheng'an.

This might be the last time she will see Mr. Lu in this life.

After returning to Kyoto, she will certainly not leave any room for others, and her actions may violate the rules of her sect.

As she is now, she is no longer worthy of being called Mr. Lu's disciple.

After saying that, Jiang Li stood up and turned to look at Uncle Qiu and Aunt Zhang.

"Uncle Qiu and Miss Zhang, thank you for your care over the years. Jiang Li will take his leave."

Then he led Jiang Yuanchen to the door.

"stop!"

Lu Daru came in quickly from the side door, and his white beard was so angry that it flew all over the place.

But Jiang Li's steps towards the door kept getting faster and faster, and he didn't stop.

Lu Daru covered his chest with his hands, "Great! You have grown up. You actually plan to no longer recognize me as your master, right?"

"Stop the lady for me!"

He was angry and furious.

Seven years ago, Jiang Li married Xie Jun and moved into the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. She was so cruel that she didn't have any contact with him for seven years.

If she hadn't found a famous teacher for her child, she wouldn't even recognize Xu Ziyi and other fellow disciples!

Now she actually said that she wanted to sever the master-disciple relationship. It seemed that she planned to never see him, her master, again for the rest of her life!

What on earth did the Yongning Marquisate do to make her so determined?

"Yes!"

Uncle Qiu and Aunt Zhang finally received the order, and they rushed out like arrows from a bow, blocking Jiang Li directly.

"Miss, please tell me what you want to say."

"Miss, please go back to the flower hall."

Both of them looked at Jiang Li with sad faces. If possible, they would not want to fight with Jiang Li.

Perhaps no one in this world knows better than them how good Jiang Li's talent in martial arts is and how high his martial arts skills are.

The prerequisite for stopping Jiang Li is that Jiang Li does not resist.

Jiang Li's eyes were red, and she did not move forward, but she also stubbornly refused to turn around.

He just lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Master..."

This is an apology that comes many years late.
