After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Xun Yu stared at Lu Yuan without blinking, and seeing Lu Yuan's sincere eyes, his expression relaxed: "It's great that you think so. Everything father does is for the Great Zhou. In father's heart, you are his most beloved adopted son, and he will never let anything happen to you."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded: "My foster father has been very kind to me. I will definitely be loyal to him and sacrifice my life for him."

Xun Yu patted his shoulder and said, "I will tell my father about your loyalty. By the way, Ayuan, what happened that night? Why did the emperor let you go down the mountain so easily? My father and I were originally thinking of pleading for you in the court and using military merit to exchange for your safety."

It is no secret that Lu Yuan once worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He used to be Xun Yu's book boy. Although the two later parted ways, Xun Yu never gave up persuading him to return to the right path.

Therefore, if he used military merit to exchange for his safety, outsiders would not only not be suspicious, but would praise Xun Yu as a "true gentleman who values ​​friendship and loyalty."

"This matter was actually an accident."

Lu Yuan told the whole story of the old lady coming to the mountain to find him, without exaggeration or concealing anything.

When he went to the temple, it was not surprising that Manager Cen, as his confidant, knew his whereabouts.

Meng Qianqian is his wife, and it is reasonable for her to go looking for him since he did not come home all night.

The old lady was old and idiotic, and she mistook herself for Old Lady Meng. The wedding guests all saw it with their own eyes. Since the two children were missing, it was natural for her to go look for them.

Xun Yu was shocked after hearing this: "She just took all of you down the mountain like that?"

Lu Yuan hummed: "The emperor respected the old lady very much and did not embarrass her."

"This is too..."

Xun Yu still couldn't believe it.

Lu Yuan said: "The Emperor loves his people like his own children. He would not make things difficult for an ordinary old lady, let alone the widow of General Lu who served as his successor."

This is what happened. No matter how surprised Xun Yu was, he could only believe it temporarily.

He looked at Lu Yuan, who seemed a little tired, and asked, "The old lady's madness didn't cause you any trouble, did it?"

Lu Yuan corrected her: "The old lady is not crazy, she just has no memory."

"It's still the same?" Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "But then again, is the old lady of the Lu family going to live in your house forever?"

Lu Yuan sighed, "Qianqian has been deeply loved by the old lady during her five years in the Lu family. It is only natural for Qianqian to show filial piety to her now."

Xun Yu frowned and said, "This is too unfair to you. The Lu family doesn't care and just lets their old lady live in your house?"

Lu Yuan hesitated: "This..."

As the two were talking, a quarrel broke out outside.

Lu Yuan said to Manager Cen, "Go and see what happened."

"Yes."

Manager Cen agreed and left in a hurry. After a moment, he returned to the hall in a panic, "It's bad, Grand Commander. The Lu family came to our house and wanted to take the old lady back. The old lady refused to leave and started a quarrel with them."

Lu Yuan asked again: "Where is the Madam?"

Manager Cen said worriedly, "Madam was worried that the old lady would be upset, so she followed her. Given Madam's relationship with the Lu family, if the Lu family loses even a hair, I'm afraid it will be blamed on the Governor's Office!"

Xun Yu stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look. I want to see who dares to make trouble in the Governor's Mansion."

Lu Yuan sighed, "Third brother, no need, I can handle it myself, don't let me get you into trouble."

Xun Yu patted his shoulder again: "What nonsense are you talking about? You and I are brothers. If someone is looking for trouble with you, as a brother, I will naturally not sit idly by. Don't worry, I know my limits."

"Alas - Third Brother -"

Lu Yuan wanted to dissuade him, but Xun Yu just left without looking back.

The people who came to the Lu family today were Lu's mother, the second wife, and Aunt Wu who was beside the old lady.

During the time when the old lady was away from the Lu family, the old lady and the second lady had a very carefree life. They could share the benefits given to the old lady by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they didn't have to worry about the old lady suddenly going crazy and beating them up.

If Lu's mother hadn't reminded them that today was the day when the Ministry of Internal Affairs would come to deliver the old lady's salary, the two of them would still be immersed in a carefree and happy life.

The two of them thought about bringing the old lady back quickly to collect her salary, and then sending her back to be raised by the girl!

"Grandma, you've lived outside long enough. It's time to go back."

The second wife advised gently.

The old lady glared at her with her hands on her hips: "Where did you come from, ugly woman? Do I know you?"

The second wife was furious: "Grandma!"

Nanny Wu came forward holding a box of snacks and said, "Old Madam, I bought your favorite sweet cakes—"

The old lady waved her hands in fear and ran away: "Oh! Old witch! Old witch!"

She ran to hide behind Meng Qianqian, "Qianqian, beat her to death!"

Nanny Wu was completely stunned.

Who is older between us?

Nanny Wu had seen Meng Qianqian's skills, and she was afraid that Meng Qianqian would really slap her to death, so she took several steps back with the snacks in her hands: "Second Madam, the sweet cakes are useless..."

The Second Madam gnashed her teeth in hatred, but dared not speak out. She turned around and placed her hope on Mother Lu: "Sister-in-law, you are the only one who can snatch Grandmother from that girl. Go and talk to her!"

Mother Lu said lightly: "I dare not."

The Second Madam said angrily, "You...you can just go and ask that girl to let them go, okay?"

Mother Lu said, "She is no longer my daughter-in-law. How dare I give orders to the wife of the governor's mansion?"

The second wife was furious: "You dare not do this, you dare not do that, what are you following me for?"

Mother Lu said calmly, "I said I wouldn't come, but you guys forced me to come."

The second wife thought of her eldest brother's instructions. The emperor had returned to the palace. If he asked about the old lady and the Lu family could not hand over the person, they might be punished.

Today, whether for the sake of salary or to avoid punishment, the Second Madam must take the old lady back.

After some thought, she decided to make a big fuss, so she started shouting at the gate, saying that the Governor's Office had imprisoned the old lady and tricked an old man with dementia into breaking with the Lu family.

"She has such a cruel heart! She has already severed ties with Xiao Ge'er, so why does she treat the Lu family like this? Even if the Lu family has done something wrong to her, that is in the past, and the Lu family has paid the compensation. She is so cruel to bully an old lady who is not in her right mind!"

She cried, made a fuss and then threatened to hang herself, which really attracted many people to stop and watch.

"Who is making noise here?"

Xun Yu walked out of the door with a serious expression.

The second wife was stunned.

The Second Madam had never seen Xun Yu. He came from the Governor's Mansion and might be one of its staff members.

Why didn't anyone guess which minister it was? Because it was the time for morning court sessions and handling official business with the various government officials. Even Lu Lingxiao was training in the military camp, or at least studying.

How can anyone who is wandering around outside at this hour be a decent person?

Thinking of this, the second wife was not polite: "Who are you?"

Xun Yu read the Second Madam's disrespect from her attitude. He did not reveal his identity, which shows that the Second Madam's disrespect was directed at the Governor's Office.

His expression turned cold: "Nowadays, who dares to ignore the Governor's Office?"

The second wife felt a little guilty.

The fact that Lu Yuan claimed to be ill and did not attend court had already caused a sensation in the city. The eldest brother also said that Lu Yuan's good days were over. Otherwise, how could she have the courage to go to the Governor's Mansion to ask for someone else?

Xun Yu glanced at the Lu family and all the onlookers, and said solemnly: "Lu Yuan is my friend, I won't allow anyone to bully him."

"Who are you?"

A young man in the crowd asked.

Without waiting for Xun Yu to answer, the Second Madam spoke arrogantly: "I don't care who you are to Lu Yuan, just tell him to release the old lady!"

The old lady hid behind Meng Qianqian: "Qianqian."

Meng Qianqian protected her: "It's okay, great-grandmother."

Xun Yu glanced at the two of them and said to the second wife, "The old lady is old and has no memory. She even forgot who she is. She stayed in the Governor's Mansion because someone in the Governor's Mansion treats her well. In my opinion, it is probably because you are unfilial that the old lady is unwilling to go with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could we not be filial to the old lady? Where did you come from? Do you have the right to speak here? Get out of the way if you know what's best for you!"

She had been making a fuss at the door for so long, but no one chased her away, which meant that Lu Yuan was really doomed and didn't dare to offend anyone anymore.

In this case, what else does she have to worry about?

The second lady rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush in.

Xun Yu stopped her.

She pushed Xun Yu without saying a word. It was impossible for Xun Yu to fight back against a woman in public, but he had a servant.

"You dare to push my son, you're going to die!"

The servant slapped the second lady in the face.

The old lady was so frightened that she turned around and around: "Ah! A woman is being beaten! A woman is being beaten! The second son's wife is being beaten!"

The old lady found a stick and joined the fight.

I don't know who she wanted to beat, but after one hit with the stick, the Second Madam was fine, the servant was fine, but Xun Yu who was standing next to her was stunned!

"Ah - you are not allowed to bully the second brother's family -"

This time, the old lady really targeted the servant.

It was too late for Xun Yu to stop it, so he could only take a step back and stand behind the old lady to avoid being accidentally injured again.

The old lady raised her stick suddenly.

boom!

The stick hit Xun Yu's forehead hard.

After being hit twice in a row, Xun Yu was beaten like a birthday star.

Not only was the servant not able to react to this scene, even Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan were confused. The old lady acted too quickly, and they both felt pain for Xun Yu from the two loud bangs of the sticks.

"great grandmother."

Before the third stick fell, Meng Qianqian grabbed the old lady's stick in time.

Lu Yuan also supported the miserable Xun Yu: "Third...Xun Yu, why did you bother to block the stick for the servants? I will help you in first."

"No... no need..."

Xun Yu didn't want to stay any longer.

He got into the carriage with the help of the servant.

Manager Cen said to the onlookers, "Go away, go away."

When the second wife heard Lu Yuan call Xun Yu "Prince Xun", she was so scared that she ran away.

Meng Qianqian looked at the old lady steadily: "Great-grandmother."

The old lady blinked slyly like a child who had been caught: "What?"

Meng Qianqian: "Do you know who you beat up?"

Old Lady: "Who is it?"

Meng Qianqian: "The Prime Minister's son."

Old lady: "..."

At this time, a carriage stopped at the door, and Eunuch Fu lifted the curtain and walked down.

Seeing the old lady, he smiled brightly: "Old lady, you are here. I just went to the Lu family to give you your salary, but you were not here!"

The old lady silently moved her steps, slowly moved to the side of Eunuch Fu, stuffed the stick into his hand, and then waved her arms while running and shouting:

"Xiao Fuzi beat up the prime minister's son!"

Eunuch Fu, who suddenly had to shoulder a huge responsibility, said: “……!!”
