"Sister Rulian, Rubao, why are you here?"

Lu Zhaohua felt uneasy and worried.

She really disliked those people in the Lu family's hometown, especially Old Lady Lu.

It is impossible for the Lu Rulian sisters to come to the capital city by themselves. If they appear here, then that means other people have come as well, right?

"I ask you, why are you here!" Lu Rubao shouted again.

"Go in first!"

Lu Rulian covered her stomach, unable to bear it.

Lu Zhaohua had no choice but to let them in.

They have already cleaned up the place, but it was originally an abandoned house with no one living in it for many years. Even though it has been cleaned up, the sense of desolation can still be seen at first glance.

Besides, it wasn't very big to begin with. At first glance, the broken woodshed, the bumpy ground, even the slightly weathered tiles and the gray windows made it look even more shabby than the outside.

"Hurry up and get me something and take me to the toilet." Lu Rulian didn't care about anything else.

Lu Zhaohua could see that she was not feeling well, so he bit his lower lip and went to get something for her.

Soon, two more people came out.

They are the second and third aunts.

"This, like a lotus or a treasure?"

"Why are you all here!" Lu Rubao went crazy again.

If Lu Zhaohua was here alone, she could still comfort and coax herself that Lu Zhaohua just came here to find someone to play with, but now the two concubines of her second uncle are here.

"We live here now." said the second aunt.

"How is that possible?" Lu Rubao stared at them with wide eyes, "You were divorced by my second uncle?"

These are two concubines. Were they kicked out after being divorced by the second uncle?

Lu Zhaohua is also a concubine's daughter. Is she here to visit her aunt?

Lu Rubao thought this was the most likely possibility.

She even thought she was smart for wanting to do this.

This time, she became proud again.

"I've said before that if Second Uncle has money, he might as well use it on me and my sister. After all, we are both legitimate daughters of the Lu family. It would be a waste to use it on concubines like you."

She even looked down on Lu Zhaohua.

Born to a concubine, why should she also enjoy the good life with her second uncle?

Even Lu Zhaoling had to live a hard life in the countryside. How could someone like Lu Zhaohua, who was always pretending, become a rich lady in the capital?

The second and third concubines both looked unhappy.

Lu Rubao was still looking at them. "You don't look like you're doing well? Why are you so haggard? I saw that Sister Zhaohua looked okay just now. She's following my second uncle, so she's better off than you guys. Isn't she bringing some things from my second uncle's house to you?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you. Even if you were once the second uncle's concubine, but you were divorced, you can't call this shabby place of yours the Lu Residence? Second Aunt, I remember your last name is Yao, right?"

The second aunt was simply impressed by this little girl, Lu Rubao.

Even without knowing anything, you can still imagine a play.

She suddenly felt a little gloating.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we haven't been divorced. We are still the master's concubines."

The third aunt remained silent.

"Not divorced? Then you guys are here..."

Lu Rulian also came out.

She took care of herself and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhaohua supported her in silence, and Lu Rulian already felt something was wrong.

“Rubao, don’t talk nonsense.”

"Sister, they are so weird." Lu Rubao looked at Lu Zhaohua, "Where is my second uncle? Where is Sister Zhaoyun?"

Lu Ming came out.

"What are you arguing about? It's making my head explode!"

The Lu Rulian sisters looked at Lu Ming.

Their eyes widened in shock again.

In my memory, my second uncle was always dressed very elegantly and neatly. Whenever he returned to the village, he would be seen as a high-ranking official from the capital, attracting the attention and envy of the whole village. He looked very impressive.

Moreover, everyone in the Lu family had a good foundation, and the second uncle was the most handsome. To put it bluntly, when he returned to the village, the women still stared at him with their eyes wide open.

They also whispered that Lu Ming was so handsome and stylish, and it would be a blessing to marry him.

It can be said that judging from his appearance alone, no one can say that Lu Ming is not handsome.

But now Lu Ming has lost weight, his cheeks are slightly sunken, his face is slightly yellowish, his lips are pale, and he is wearing a red robe with the cuffs a little pale from being washed. His back is not straight, and he has not shaved. He looks twenty years older than they remember!

How can this guy look handsome?

Moreover, it was not at all like what they had imagined before, that he had been promoted, became rich, and lived a very powerful life.

"Uncle, why do you look like an old eggplant hit by frost?"

Lu Rubao blurted out.

Lu Ming was almost mad at her words.

Old eggplant!

"Uncle, grandpa and grandma are still waiting at the teahouse over the city gate." Lu Rulian saw that something was not right. It was not something that the two sisters could figure out. They had to ask uncle to bring the others back. "Send a carriage to pick them up. Grandpa and grandma said they couldn't walk anymore."

Lu Ming's face changed.

Why are people from my hometown here at this time? Why are they here?

Is this going to cause more trouble for him?

But he couldn't help but go and pick someone up.

They sold him a carriage. If they hadn't sold it, they wouldn't have been able to buy furniture to move in.

The horse that pulled the other cart was also sold, leaving only the cart. Then he bought a skinny old mule, preparing to use it when the time comes.

I heard that Censor Lin, who lived a poor life, also rode a mule cart and gained a good reputation for it.

By then, it shouldn't be too embarrassing for him to lean towards Censor Lin.

When Lu Rulian and the others saw the mule cart, their eyes widened again.

It has been quite a while since they have been doing this.

During this period, Lu Chengan got into trouble.

Lu Chengan was very hungry.

They had run out of dry food long ago, so they sat outside the teahouse. Opposite was a bun shop where buns were being steamed. The wind blew over from there, bringing with it the aroma of the buns.

At first, Lu Chengan could still bear it.

But I was so hungry that the smell became more and more unbearable.

They were greedy for bargains, so they bought the cheapest kind of tea, which was astringent and had a strong tea aroma. After drinking it, they felt their stomachs were dry.

As a result, a chubby little boy happened to buy a few meat buns. He held the oil paper bag in one hand and a meat bun in the other. When he passed in front of Lu Chengan and the others, he took a bite of the bun.

This steamed bun shop is quite famous in Beijing.

Because this place is close to the city wall, soldiers and officers often come here to patronize it, so they dare not cut corners. The meat filling is packed very generously, and the gravy flows out when you bite it. The taste is so delicious.

The chubby boy has a unique way of eating, and you can tell he has a great appetite when he looks at him.

As Lu Chengan watched, he swallowed hard and his hand regained its consciousness.

He quickly snatched the bun from the chubby boy's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
