N-A-A Chapter 1849 Leaving Secretly
Chapter 1849 Leaving Secretly
The Lu family held a very serious meeting.
Should I leave the capital now, or just go back to my hometown and then quietly return later?
Lu Anrong was in favor of not returning.
He always felt that the capital city offered them no further opportunities.
Even if the Second Prince ascends the throne, he will look down on their family even more. He will marry someone of unknown status, so how could he possibly still care about Lu Zhaoyun, who is already somewhat insane?
Perhaps by then, Lu Zhaoyun will become a stain on his reputation, making the world laugh at him for marrying a slave girl.
In the depths of the palace, it's far too easy to kill a woman.
If Lu Zhaoyun dies silently in the palace, his family will definitely not have a good ending.
Therefore, it would be of no benefit to them whoever ascended the throne.
Lu Anrong explained this to Old Man Lu and Lu Ming, and the father and son were speechless.
"Then we won't come back!" Old Man Lu gritted his teeth and made the decision. "We'll find another place. I refuse to believe that there's no place in this world where the Lu family can settle down and make a living."
“Nanzhao,” Lu Anrong said. “Sir, I think Nanzhao is the most suitable place.”
"Let's leave the capital first." Old Man Lu was still hesitant when he heard about Nanzhao, but they couldn't be sure where they could go yet, so they had to wait until they left the capital.
"Alright, then let's leave the capital."
Lu Ming also made up his mind.
Because Lu Zhaoling, that ingrate, will definitely not let them off the hook in the future. When she has some free time, she will most likely come to them again to ask about Cui Liyue.
He had nothing more to say to Cui Liyue; that woman had wronged him, too.
He had raised that woman's daughter, but now this daughter was like a wolf cub, trying to kill his entire family.
They've had such a miserable time these past two years.
Lu Ming glanced down at himself. His old clothes, which used to fit him perfectly, were now hanging loosely on him, much too big, indicating that he had lost a lot of weight.
He hasn't tasted meat in six months.
“Then let’s pack up quickly. If we’re going to leave, we need to do it as soon as possible. If we wait any longer and the situation stabilizes, it will be too late for us to leave,” Lu Anrong said.
Lu Ming thought for a moment, "You tell Ru Bao to go and call her sisters home."
Lu Rulian, Lu Zhaoyue, and Lu Zhaohua have all found work outside and now they leave early and return late every day.
Lu Rulian rarely came back and lived at her employer's house.
The Lu sisters, Lu Zhaoyue and Lu Zhaohua, couldn't do much. They just helped out at the shop, doing washing and chopping in the kitchen, and would come back as soon as the shop closed.
Fortunately, the two sisters also found work at such small food stalls. Sometimes the shopkeeper would even pack some of the food that customers hadn't finished for them, so the family could have a bite to eat.
Now that we're leaving the capital, we have to call them all back.
Lu Rubao does nothing but run around outside every day, but she looks better lately. She says she has found a sister outside who gives her food from time to time and has also given her two sets of old clothes. Lu Rubao has been showing off at home quite a bit.
When Lu Anrong went to find her, she had just returned.
"Rubao, go and tell your sisters to come home quickly. Tell them that our master has something important to discuss."
Lu Rubao was holding a pancake in her hand, about to take a bite, when she heard Lu Anrong's voice. She instinctively tried to put her hand behind her back so that Lu Anrong wouldn't see her pancake.
Lu Anrong's expression changed at her subconscious reaction.
When he saw more clearly that what she was holding was just a dry, plain flatbread with little filling, the kind that he wouldn't eat even a bite of when the Lu family was doing quite well, he felt even worse.
I miss the days when I was called the eldest son of the Lu family so much!
It's all Lu Zhaoling's fault!
"Go now!" Lu Anrong said in a deep voice. "Who wants your cake? What are you hiding!"
After saying this, Lu Anrong turned and left.
He needed to go back and pack his things; he wanted to go see Lu Anfan again first thing tomorrow morning.
He wanted to give An Fan another chance, after all, he was his younger brother.
Moreover, if he really had to leave here and go to Nanzhao in the future, Lu Anrong felt that having a brother who practiced martial arts would make him feel much more at ease.
Lu Rubao watched him turn around, then pouted, winked, and mouthed something.
Who wants your pancake? That sounds nice, but you clearly swallowed when you saw mine!
She quickly took a bite of the biscuit.
You still have to eat it to prevent it from being stolen.
This was given to her by Qiu Yunzhen's maid, because she had said that she would be marrying into the Second Prince's household with Qiu Yunzhen.
She also said that Qiu Yunzhen now treats her like a sister. Therefore, everyone around her tries to curry favor with her.
If she hadn't been clever and hadn't ingratiated herself with Qiu Yunzhen early on, she would have starved to death long ago.
She's the one who's eaten the most in the entire Lu family right now.
Lu Rubao first found Lu Zhaoyue and Lu Zhaohua and told them what Lu Anrong had said.
“Where can I leave now? The shopkeeper is watching me all the time. If I work a little slower, I’ll get scolded.” Lu Zhaohua said blankly, glancing down at the calluses on his hands.
"That's your problem. Anyway, I've already passed on the message. If you don't go back, it's not me who will get scolded by our master."
Lu Rubao ran away as soon as she finished speaking.
She still wanted to find Lu Rulian.
After hearing her words, Lu Rulian paused for a moment, then nodded, "I'll tell the master and go back now."
However, before returning, Lu Rulian went to Huaiyuan.
However, during her visit to Huaiyuan, she only met Jiang Yongmiao.
"Sister Zhaoling isn't here, and Sister Jingjing has also gone out on her own." Jiang Yongmiao met Lu Rulian at the door.
If Old Ma hadn't said that Lu Rulian looked like she had something urgent to attend to, she wouldn't have come out.
"Then please tell them when you see them." Lu Rulian had no other choice. "Just say that my grandfather suddenly wants to call us all home, saying that there is something important. There has been nothing going on at home recently, so I guess they may want to leave the capital."
Having lived in Huaiyuan for so long, Jiang Yongmiao had naturally heard about the Lu family's affairs.
"Didn't the Emperor issue an edict forbidding any member of your family from leaving the capital?"
“But something seems to have happened in the palace these past few days, hasn’t it?” Lu Rulian said in a low voice, “They certainly wouldn’t dare to leave openly.”
They'll definitely try to sneak out of the city.
"Then why did you come and tell Sister Zhaoling about this?" Jiang Yongmiao asked, somewhat surprised.
Lu Rulian was silent for a moment, then said, "If I said that I was just being selfish and wanted to offend Lu Zhaoling as little as possible, would you believe me?"
She always felt that going against Lu Zhaoling would not end well.
