After dinner, Lu Zhaoling prepared to go back.

Zhou Shiyue prepared to send her off.

"Take a rest. Why are you running around?" Lu Zhaoling glanced at him with disdain.

"Really not necessary?"

"Really?" Lu Zhaoling frowned. "You should go and investigate the cause of death of those people in Jiangnan. Young Marquis Zhou knew that there was something wrong with the red muntjac, so how could he just leave it there and let the chef cook it at will?"

"I know. There are doubts to begin with. Lin Rong will investigate it clearly. The cook of Zhou Mansion has also been taken to the Dali Temple."

Lu Zhaoling thought of the palace maid sent by the Sixth Princess and asked.

"I'll ask Aunt Qing tomorrow. The person has definitely been rescued. It's up to you to decide where to place him."

Lu Zhaoling nodded. She was just trying to save someone, and as long as the person was alive, that was enough.

Zhou Shiyue looked at her and sighed softly, "Don't go out these few days. Stay at home. I think the capital will be in turmoil for a while."

"Noisy?"

"Well, there will be some commotion in the palace. Concubine Shu is ill, the Queen Mother is pretending to be ill, and my brother..." Zhou Shiyue thought of the emperor's sick face and didn't take it seriously. "The imperial physician should be able to cure him. However, the treasure that Qiu was escorting was not found, and the two guards were not saved and died. If we want to find the treasure, there will be some commotion."

“It sounds like it’s going to be quite lively.”

"Don't join in this kind of fun, it's all trouble." Zhou Shiyue stretched out his hand to pat her head, but inadvertently met the two pairs of bright eyes of Qingyin and Qingbao standing behind him, and subconsciously put down his hand.

Sooner or later he would have to demote these two maids to second class.

"There will probably be some trouble in your family. Go hide in the warm room and ignore them. If they come to make trouble with you, have those two maids beat them out directly."

Prince Jin kept on rambling, "Also, don't worry about the Lin editor's family. Qing Fuhou is making trouble, but if the Lin family dares to make trouble, this wedding will not be possible. They want to be cowards and dare not resist. It's their own business."

Lu Zhaoling covered her mouth with the back of her hand and yawned, not really listening to what he said.

Zhou Shi stopped reading the conversation.

"Okay, go back." He waved his hand.

Lu Zhaoling waved lazily, turned around and left without any reluctance at all.

Zhou Shiyue stood there with his hands in his sleeves until her figure was out of his sight, then he spoke.

"Someone is coming."

The secret guard flashed out.

"Go check on Lin Bianxiu's family and find out what's going on with the man named Yang in their family and why he came to Beijing."

"Yes."

Lu Zhaoling finally returned to the Lu family.

When the doorman opened the door and saw that it was her, he was startled and perked up.

"The Second Miss is back?"

"Ah."

When Lu Zhaoling entered the house, she unexpectedly discovered that there was a festive atmosphere in the mansion.

Huh?

What happened while she was gone these days?

"Is Lord Lu well?" she turned around and asked.

The doorman bowed and replied, "Second Miss, yes, the master is well again, and the eldest son is also well."

"You're so lucky?" Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised.

The concierge didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It seems that the people Lu Anrong saved did give him a lot of benefits. As expected, she asked Qingyin to find out, and it was true that among the rich young men Lu Anrong saved, there happened to be relatives coming from the north who happened to have a folk remedy to cure Lu Ming's disease.

What’s more, it’s quite effective.

Lu Anrong should also know that the talisman had been replaced. After all, he was the one who did it. Lu Anfan was fine, but he fell ill, so he knew what happened.

He asked someone to crack it.

After listening to Lu Anrong's words, Mrs. Lu took Lu Zhaoyun, Lu Zhaoyue and Lu Zhaohua to a temple. They chanted sutras with the master for two days, worshipped Buddha for two days, ate vegetarian food for two days, and prayed for amulets. After they came back, they were all healed.

When Lu Zhaoling came back, these people pretended not to know and no one came close to her.

I guess it was evening and Lu Anfan didn’t come either.

Lu Zhaoling didn't pay any attention to them. She just cleaned up and went to sleep.

That night, she dreamed of her fellow junior brothers and sisters, as well as her uncle again.

They didn't say anything either, but looked at her with a bit of resentment and sadness in their eyes, which made Lu Zhaoling feel uneasy.

When she woke up the next day, she patted her head.

"I'm going to kick you out. Why are you staring at me like that? I protected you before I was blown away. Do you still dare to blame me? Humph, there's no one to work like a slave in Xuanmen affairs. Do you miss me?"

I don't want her to go back.

"Is my second sister awake?"

There were voices outside.

"The young lady hasn't gotten up yet." Qingbao replied.

"Then I'll wait for her here."

As soon as he heard Lu Anfan's voice, Lu Zhaoling sighed helplessly.

Since Lu Anrong recovered so quickly, Lu Anfan must have destroyed the talisman and the things and spared him.

How kind.

After she washed and packed up and went out, Lu Anfan's eyes lit up when he saw her.

"Second sister!"

He ran to her and raised the thing in his hand. It was an oil paper bag with a thin layer of oil seeping through the paper, emitting a fragrance.

"What is this?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"There's a Duji sesame cake shop in the alley ahead. They're so delicious that I've been eating them since I was a kid. I thought you must have never had them, so I bought a few for you to try."

Lu Anfan said in a tone of offering a treasure, "Sister Qingyin and Sister Qingbao also have some."

Lu Zhaoling took a look and found that there was indeed another packet on the stone table.

She took it without hesitation and walked to the stone table and sat down.

When I opened the oil paper package, it was indeed very fragrant. The crust of the pancake was crispy, the filling was salty and fragrant, and there was a little gravy when I bit into it. It was delicious.

"Second sister, is it delicious?" Lu Anfan sat down opposite her and looked at her expectantly.

"It's delicious, thank you."

Lu Anfan was very happy to hear Lu Zhaoling say this.

But soon he felt embarrassed again and whispered, "Second sister, eldest brother is well again."

"Yeah, I heard about it."

"I burned the package of talismans." Lu Anfan said frankly, "My eldest brother came to see me that day. He said that he didn't know what the talisman was for, and thought it was a peace charm so he gave it to me. He also gave me a very expensive bow and arrow, and asked me not to be angry with him."

Lu Zhaoling glanced at him and asked, "So you believe him?"

Lu Anfan shook his head. "My second sister showed me those things. If she didn't know, how could there be my hair and nails in them?"

Isn't this quite clear?

"But he is my brother after all, and he did protect me in the past. Second sister, I want to give him another chance, and I also want to persuade him not to go down the wrong path."

Lu Zhaoling looked at the child without commenting.

"But don't worry, second sister. I will still be prepared."

While they were talking, Sun Yingying came to Lu's house.

However, as soon as she entered the door, she was stopped by Lu Zhaohua.

Sun Yingying looked at Lu Zhaohua, whose complexion had obviously improved, and said, "I'm looking for Sister Zhao Ling."
