The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Lu Zhaoyun had been waiting at home anxiously.

Before Lu Ming and the others came back, she kept walking back and forth and couldn't even sit down.

If they didn't come back, she would leave two marks on the floor of the front hall.

Mrs. Lu was also nervous and had been waiting, but seeing her like this, she almost felt dizzy.

Now that Lu Ming and his son have returned and brought back the emperor's rewards, their eyes are shining.

The second aunt, the third aunt, Lu Zhaoyue and the others were naturally waiting here as well.

This was a major event for the Lu family, closely related to every one of them, so how could they not care? Even Lu Anjin, the youngest member of the Lu family who usually slept late, was woken up and dozed off in a chair, waiting.

Lu Zhaoyue went to take a look after the rewards were brought in.

After watching it, she was a little disappointed.

Five hundred taels of silver, what can you do with five hundred taels? The rest is writing brushes, inkstones, and these things are of no use to her.

Is the emperor so stingy? Doesn't he know that there are women in the families of his subjects, and he should be rewarded with jewelry, headwear, fabrics, etc.?

Her father would not give her any of the five hundred taels.

"Where's An Fan? Where's Zhao Hua?"

Lu Ming sat down in the main seat, drank a cup of tea, and took a quick look when he noticed that two people were missing.

Lu Zhaoyun asked him, but he was in no hurry to answer.

Naturally, something like this needs to be discussed with the whole family present.

And there was one more thing, he hadn't figured out how to start the conversation. The women in the family had always believed that Zhao Yun was the second prince's principal wife, but now she had become a concubine, and they didn't know if they would accept it.

The second aunt was feeling uneasy.

Both children are hers. Everyone is here, except Zhaohua and Anfan.

She had gone to Zhaohua's room before, but he was not there, and Anfan was not in his room either. What on earth were these two siblings doing?

"An Fan has been acting very badly these past few days. He's even been very close to my second sister. I don't know how my second aunt taught him to be like that. Doesn't he know how to tell the difference between a relative and a stranger?"

Lu Zhaoyue glanced at the second aunt with a cold face.

She didn't like Lu Zhaoling. In the past, Lu Anfan was quite close to her when he returned home. She was quite straightforward and Anfan felt that he could get along well with her. But this time when he returned home, he went to Tingnuanlou every day!

Even if Lu Zhaoling is not at home, he wants to stay in Tingnuanlou. He is simply sick!

"Did the brother and sister go to Tingnuanlou?" Lu Ming asked with a frown.

Thinking of what Prince Jin said in the hall, he felt uncomfortable.

"If he's not in his own yard, then he must have gone over there. Where else can he go?" Mrs. Lu was also annoyed by listening to Nuan Lou.

But now she didn't dare to go there anymore, she didn't dare to seek trouble, she had suffered too much at the hands of Lu Zhaoling.

Even Jin Po was caught and not released, and she was still a little panicked.

"Go and call them over. How can they not come and listen to the important matters at home?"

Lu Ming said something to the servant, and after thinking about it, he added reluctantly, "Let the second young lady come over as well."

Lu Anfan happened to walk outside the hall door and heard this sentence. For some reason, he found it very funny.

What's with father's tone of voice as if he was doing a favor and asking my second sister to come over and listen together?

Doesn't he know that his second sister is too lazy to come and see them?

"No need to go, father, I'm coming."

Lu Anfan walked in. When the Second Aunt saw him, she hurried over and grabbed his arm, then looked behind him and did not see Lu Zhaohua.

She asked quietly, "Where's your sister?"

She thought Lu Zhaohua was with An Fan.

When he heard her mention Lu Zhaohua, Lu Anfan smiled a little sadly.

He pointed to his head, then lowered his head towards his aunt, motioning her to touch it.

"Auntie, please touch it."

Asked his sister, why did she touch his head? Although the second aunt didn't quite understand, she still reached out and touched it, and then she felt a swelling and some medicine.

Her expression changed. "What happened? Did the Second Miss hit you? She could hit you, but how could she hit you on the head?"

Her voice couldn't help but get louder. "Does she know that hitting someone on the head can easily kill them?"

Second Aunt's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She looked at Lu Ming, feeling extremely aggrieved, and asked the Master to make the decision for them.

Lu Anfan found it ridiculous.

He grabbed his aunt.

"It wasn't my second sister who gave me the shot. It was my second sister who gave me the medicine."

Yes, Fourth Sister, do you know that it is very easy to kill someone by hitting his head?

Moreover, he had already fainted on the ground, but she ran away without caring. Is Chen Cheng so important? Is he more important than his brother's life?

"Not her? Then who is it?" The Second Aunt looked at Lu Anfan's expression, and her heart suddenly sank.

She clutched his arm.

But Lu Zhaoyun couldn't wait any longer.

She interrupted them, "Isn't An Fan okay now? Sit down quickly and listen to what father and An Rong say about today's court session."

She didn't care whether Lu Zhaohua came or not.

The second aunt pulled Lu Anfan to sit down. At this time, she had some guesses in her mind, but it was not a good idea to ask any more questions here.

Lu Anfan felt even more sad when he saw that everyone was looking at his father again, anxious to hear what he said.

No one cared who hit him or how badly he was injured.

Even my father is the same.

Seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, Lu Ming had to cough and then talked about the promotion first.

"Master has been promoted? This is really God's blessing! That's great!" Mrs. Lu and the two concubines were naturally very happy.

"This is the grace of the emperor." Lu Ming said.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

"The emperor also rewarded An Rong with the four treasures of the study, and my father and I also received a reward of 500 taels of silver," Lu Ming added.

This reward...

Lu Zhaoyun gritted her teeth secretly, not knowing if it was because Lu Zhaoling's casual 100,000 taels made it look out of place, but she really felt that 500 taels was too shabby.

Everyone had a similar expression, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lu Ming thought of the stolen property in the dark room of the abandoned house, and he almost felt so distressed that he could not breathe. If those things were still there, he would not care about the five hundred taels at all, but they were gone! They were gone!

Now that we have these five hundred taels, it's already a timely help, okay? What the hell are these people looking at?

He is depressed.

Lu Zhaoyun threw the reward aside and asked him eagerly, "Father, what about my engagement with the Second Prince?"

Lu Ming looked at Lu Anrong and motioned for him to speak.

Lu Anrong had no choice but to speak, "Sister, the emperor has already promised you and the second prince a marriage in the court. We just need to wait until the mourning period is over and choose a date for the wedding."

"Really?"

Lu Zhaoyun's eyes lit up and his heart was elated.

Mrs. Lu also stood up and wanted to float.

"However," Lu Anrong added, "My eldest sister will enter the palace with the Second Prince's wife when the time comes."
