"Brother officer, my name is Lu Anfan. I want to see Lord Chen for something. Is that possible?" Lu Anfan stuffed a small piece of silver into the hands of a yamen runner.

When the bailiff saw that it was a teenager, he wanted to say, "Go away. What reason does a child have to meet adults? This is not a place to play." But when he heard his name, he changed his mind.

"Surname Lu? Could it be that you are from Master Lu Ming's family?"

Lu Anfan was inexplicably surprised to see that the elder yamen runner's expression changed slightly. Why did he look like he had a gloomy face?

"My father is Lu Ming."

After saying this, he found that the yamen runner's face became even darker, and he looked at him with unhappiness in his eyes.

Humph, I heard that no one in Lord Lu’s family is a good person, and they all bully Second Miss Lu.

Could it be that this brat is also a little bully who bullies Miss Lu?

Lu Anfan felt that the yamen runner's attitude was obviously even more unfriendly.

The bailiff reached out and clamped his shoulders, preparing to turn him around and push him away.

Lu Anfan didn't know why he suddenly thought of a possibility and blurted out, "My second sister asked me to come!"

The bailiff's actions paused.

"Miss Lu asked you to come and see our master?" he asked.

Lu Anfan nodded quickly, "Yes, that's right."

"You have a good relationship with Miss Lu Er?" the bailiff asked again.

"She's my second sister!" Or maybe the eldest sister. Lu Anfan said seriously, "Isn't it normal for siblings to have a good relationship?"

Sure enough, he saw the officer's face turn from cloudy to bright.

"Why didn't you say so earlier, Second Young Master? Come on, I'll take you to see our master."

This is how Lu Anfan met Lord Chen.

Lord Chen was still taking a nap with his eyes closed in the back. He was very tired after this trip. He felt that he had done a great thing and it was justified for him to take a break now.

These people in the capital had better be sensible and not have any trouble these days. He doesn't even want to go to court.

"grown ups."

"Why are you shouting? Can't you see that I am resting with my eyes closed?" Lord Chen was annoyed, "Someone is complaining?"

Who doesn’t have eyes?

"Sir, this is Second Young Master Lu, Second Miss's brother. He said Second Miss asked him to come and see you."

Hey!

Lu Anfan saw Lord Chen suddenly stand up, and his face, which originally looked like a cunning and corrupt official, blossomed into a chrysanthemum, looking strangely kind.

"Oh, is it the Second Young Master? Does your sister have something to tell you? Come on, come on, sit down and talk," Master Chen was very enthusiastic. He asked him to sit down and asked, "It's so early, have you had breakfast yet? I'll ask someone to buy you some steamed buns?"

Hey, why are Second Young Master Lu's eyes red and swollen? Did something happen to the Lu family?

Lu Anfan was shocked by Lord Chen's enthusiasm.

The Lu family is a small family. If Lord Chen had met his father before, he might have been very angry. But now he is so enthusiastic towards him!

"No, no need."

Lu Anfan should have waited until Lu Zhaoling came back from the ancestral temple before telling her that he was coming to the government office, but he simply couldn't wait any longer.

"My second sister told me something last night. She said if I didn't believe it, I could come to see Master Chen, and Master Chen would let me know the truth."

Lord Chen immediately sat up straight.

"The Second Miss thinks highly of me and trusts me very much. Yes, I can do it."

Lu Anfan: "......"

"So what do you want to know?" Lord Chen asked seriously.

Lu Anfan took a deep breath, "We used to have several servants in our family. Are they still in jail? I want to know if the danger my second sister encountered when she came to the capital was related to them."

Lord Chen slapped his thigh.

"As for this matter, you can't go wrong by coming to me! Come on, I'll personally take you to see that old lady Jin. She has signed the agreement."

The King of Jin also instructed that these people should be kept for the time being, as they might be needed in the future. So even though they suffered miserably, at least they were still alive.

Lu Anfan followed Lord Chen to the prison.

This day was destined to overturn his previous impression of his family, and this day would also change his life.

Meanwhile, at the ancestral temple, Marquis Qingfu and a group of officials were waiting for Prince Jin.

Qing Fuhou was both excited and a little nervous.

He also asked around and found out that the tablet of the retired emperor always fell down for no reason.

However, he still had to be on the safe side, so after he came in, he asked someone to tamper with it, and the tablet would definitely fall over today.

The officials were confused and shocked.

They were waiting in the hall, glancing at the tablet of the retired emperor on the altar from time to time.

No, the golden nanmu tablet looks stable, and there is no wind here that can blow it down. Even if there is wind, it is only a light breeze and it is impossible to blow the tablet down.

"Will the tablet really fall down?"

They discussed in low voices.

"I heard that it collapsed before. The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Prince of Jin all came to see it, but they couldn't figure out the reason."

"Some people say that the emperor is not satisfied with the second daughter of the Lu family."

"Can the Emperor really show his power?"

They all thought this was incredible, how could it be possible?

"If he wasn't sure, why would Qing Fuhou make this suggestion and seek the consent of the emperor? He is so eager to save his son."

That's right.

"It would be great if the Emperor could show his power," said a white-haired duke, with tears in his eyes. "I haven't had time to say goodbye to the Emperor yet. I still have something to tell him."

This is Duke Ying, who is about the same age as the retired emperor and they almost grew up together.

"Prince Jin has arrived."

Sizhen and Jiechi, who were standing at the entrance of the palace, looked up and saw Prince Jin and Second Miss Lu walking towards them side by side, followed by guards and maids. The two looked equally imposing.

Miss Lu is not at all weak next to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

"Brother, will this donor Lu want me to join the Xuanmen again?" Xiao Jie asked in a low voice. He was a little nervous. "If she really thinks highly of me, I would be embarrassed to always reject her."

He was under great pressure.

"Don't you like Buddha?" Si Zhen asked him back.

"Yeah, but I, but I think that Benefactor Lu is pretty good too." Xiao Jiechi said tangledly, "What if I reject her and she gets upset?"

Lu Zhaoling took one look at the two little monks.

She walked up to them, bent down, and watched Xiaojie eat.

"Little Master, we meet again. You..."

Before she finished her words, Xiao Jiechi immediately said nervously, "I can't let the Buddha down, even if you bribe me with snacks."

He opened his round eyes and spoke very seriously.

Lu Zhaoling burst out laughing, "You want some snacks so badly?"

"Miss Lu Er!"

Qing Fuhou waited in the hall for a long time. When he saw Lu Zhaoling coming and teasing a little monk, he couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, Miss Lu, we can't keep the Emperor waiting for too long."

Zhou Shiyue glanced towards him.

"Shut up. The Queen Mother allowed you to come out and mess around, but I didn't allow you to cluck."

Cluck, is he a chicken?
