Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After seeing Hua Yu and the others off, Xie Laojiu returned home and promptly dealt with a group of people who had ulterior motives, as well as a group of spies who were sent in from unknown sources.

By the time the old man of the Wu family reacted, Xie Laojiu had already dealt with the Xie family's affairs and headed north with the remaining belongings.

In the Wu family's study, Old Man Wu and the second son of the Wu family were talking to each other. The third son of the Wu family was crouching under the window at the back of the study, eavesdropping with his ears perked up.

"Dad, Master Jiu has also left, what about us?"

"I didn't think it through. I thought that after marrying into the Xie family, I would be able to take my relationship with Xie Laojiu to the next level. But I didn't expect that Xie Laojiu was just a businessman."

"Businessmen are profit-driven, so it's understandable that they look down on our declining Wu family."

"Should we make some adjustments then? After all, it's not easy to fool people over there."

"Although it was the Great Buddha who brought up the matter, the other families also contributed. Only the Second Master and the Old Nine families were close to them, so we didn't let them know too much."

"However, since the young gentleman was rescued, they have not come to trouble us. Maybe they just don't bother to deal with us."

"Dad, can we still get rid of their surveillance? After all, Jiu Ye is the one with the most strategies in the Nine Sects. Without his help, I'm afraid..."

"Don't panic too much. Even though Xie Laojiu has dealt with so many traitors, there will always be one or two who slip through the net. He will come back to cooperate with us one day."

Old Master Wu spoke calmly while sitting on the armchair.

The third son of the Wu family squatted under the windowsill and listened to what his grandfather and second brother said in confusion. He thought: If you don't tell me, I will check it myself. Besides, the son of the ninth master of the Xie family is still following me and has not yet become a shrewd businessman. It will be easy for me to just fool him.

After the old man in the study and the second master of the Wu family left, the third master of the Wu family limped out from under the windowsill, tidied up his messy clothes and the weeds on his hair, looked at the backs of the two people walking away, and hummed.

After the third son of the Wu family walked away humming a little tune, the old man Wu and the second son Wu, who had already walked far away, came out from the end of the corridor again.

"The third child still has a lot to learn. Teach him more in the future."

"Don't worry! No matter how stupid Xie Lianhuan is, he is from the Xie family after all. How can he be a naive idiot? It's better for the third brother to suffer a loss than to lose his life in the future."

An old fox who had become a spirit took another old fox to look at the growing old fox who was being plotted against without knowing it, smiled at each other, and then left again.

Yankyo

When Hua Yu and others arrived in Yanjing, Uncle Qin and others had gone to other places and did not come to pick up the car.

Er Yuehong and Hua Yu parted ways at the entrance of the train station. After all, one lived in the core area of ​​Yanjing, and the other lived in the eight alleys in Xicheng District, where Xie Laojiu's property was also located.

"Ayu, remember to bring my little Huaer to my house for a visit. You must work hard on your training in the future."

Er Yuehong stood beside Hua Yu, teasing the little baby who was adorned with gold and silver. The little baby could not quite understand what she said yet, and could only grin with his mouth open, revealing his incomplete teeth.

"My little Hua is going to suffer. She has to endure hardships at such a young age!" Although Hua Yu was reluctant, it was for the child after all. She didn't think it was a bad thing, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

The child he raised like a precious jewel now had to suffer at the hands of others.

"Ayu, it's like you won't be able to see Xiaohua for several years. You can go back every day."

"How can it be the same? In the past, Xiaohua and I stayed together for twelve hours a day. Now, except for dinner and sleep at night, she is not under my supervision at other times."

"If they don't eat well or sleep well outside, wouldn't I be heartbroken? Besides, if they get bullied, I won't be able to rush over in the first place."

As Hua Yu was talking, she hugged the dazed Xie Yuchen with tears in her eyes and buried her head in Zhang Qiling's arms.

Zhang Qiling patted him on the back, calming Hua Yu's somewhat out-of-control emotions.

Er Yuehong also knew that Xie Yuchen was brought up by Hua Yu, and was a way for Hua Yu to divert his nerves from the brink of collapse after Zhang Qiling was rescued.

It was indeed a bit too much for Hua Yu to bear that the child he had raised was suddenly taken away from him.

Although Xie Yuchen was there in recent years, sometimes Zhang Qiling would suddenly leave in the middle of the night, and Hua Yu would wake up instantly and feel like she was going to collapse. Fortunately, Xie Yuchen was by her side, so Hua Yu was able to control her nerves.

"Okay, Ayu, what you said makes it seem like I kidnapped Xiaohua and didn't let you see her. Our two homes are so close, and you send Xiaohua over here every day, don't you have to stay with her until you go home?" Er Yuehong comforted her.

"Then I'll bring some food and servants to your house. I'm afraid Xiaohua won't be used to the food prepared by your cook."

Er Yuehong nodded repeatedly to indicate that Ayu could do anything, which stopped Hua Yu's tears.

After chatting for a while, they got in the car that had arrived late to pick them up and went home.
