Seeing that her husband was indifferent, Mrs. Lu argued: "Who said it doesn't matter? A woman with too slim figure has a difficult life, and there are four more!"

Master Lu smiled and said, "Why did the wife suddenly become unreasonable today? According to you, those tall and strong women should have ten or eight at a time?"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" Mrs. Lu slapped his face with the fan in her hand, turned around and walked into the inner room.

Master Lu looked at her back and his smile dissipated little by little.

The lady’s suspicion is not groundless.

Shangguan Nanxiao's appearance was too sudden, and since he came to Ruoshui City, many things were strange.

It seems that he has to tell his father what his wife had just said, maybe he will have other insights.

Master Lu called a maid: "You will tell your wife later. I suddenly remembered that there were some things to discuss with the old man. I'm afraid I'll have to rest in the study tonight."

"Yes, master." The maid responded.

Master Lu turned around and hurried towards Elder Lu's yard.

Elder Lu is nearly sixty years old, but he is the youngest among the four elders.

He drank a few more drinks at the three banquets just now, and was tilting on the recliner to rest.

"Elder, the master is here." The servant replied closer.

"Xiuliang is here? Please come in quickly." Elder Lu opened his eyes and ordered.

After a while, Master Lu walked in and bowed to salute his father.

Elder Lu pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Why did you come suddenly? Let's sit down."

Master Lu sat down as he said, and said anxiously: "Father, where has that person been there?"

Elder Lu glanced at him coldly: "I am almost forty and still so frivolous. What happened?"

Master Lu then told him all his wife's suspicion.

"...Father, you know what kind of person Juan Niang is. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was really weird, she would never speak nonsense.

Also, at the three banquets today, my son was secretly observing the Lord Shangguan City.

She and Elder Gongsun muttered for a while, but I don’t know if they were discussing something ulterior motive.”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Elder Lu rebuked: "Elder Gongsun has always been fair in dealing with people. What can he do is unspeakable."

Master Lu has been the son of Elder Lu for decades, so why is he not clear about what his father is thinking?

The power of Ruoshui City has always been concentrated in the hands of the city lord, and the existence of the four elders is more of a symbol.

The respected people are no less than the city lord, but they do not have much real power at all.

Elder Gongsun is better, after all, he is the oldest and has a close relationship with the old city lord. Even the city lord Chunyu treats him like his father.

The other three city lords, especially the father with the least qualifications, are just decorations.

My father is a very high-spirited person, so he doesn't believe that he has no idea at all.

"Father!" Master Lu begged: "In the past few months since Lord Shangguan City took office, he has been getting closer and closer to Elder Gongsun, but he has always ignored you.

If this continues, our Lu family will probably decline day by day.”

His words hit Elder Lu's mind.

The elders of Ruoshui City are like city lords, and have been passed down from generation to generation.

The two families passed on the eldest son and the two families passed on the eldest daughter, which is also the rule passed down by ancestors.

But there are some differences.

The Gongsun family and the other two families served as elders when they established Ruoshui City, but the Lu family took over from another family that had already lost their families, and Elder Lu's generation was only the second generation.

Because of his lack of qualifications, he could only follow the other three elders in everything. How could he not feel resentful after a long time?

"Xiuliang, you said so much, what is the purpose?"

"Father, doesn't that person have sufficient evidence? If we can bring them and their son into Ruoshui City, we may not have a chance to turn the tables even if we have a good life.

If that person really becomes the city lord, our Lu family will be the first hero who supports him, then..."

If he had to continue talking, he could really talk about how many days and nights.

The wife of the city lord Han had a great influence on Ruoshuicheng. Since she became the city lord's wife, the responsibilities of the officials have become more and more clear.

The management of Ruoshui City is becoming more and more organized. The city lord takes over the power, and each government office only needs to act in accordance with the articles of association.

The elders are becoming more and more like decorations, and are of no use at all.

If the city lord changes his name, Ruoshui City will inevitably have great changes, and the opportunity for their Lu family will come.

"Let's let my father consider this matter again." Elder Lu raised his hand to stop his son's words, and his expression obviously relaxed.

"Father! Don't come again when the opportunity is gone. If you don't strike while the iron is hot, Shangguan Nanxiao and the others will fill all the loopholes, how can we do it?"

Elder Lu pondered for a while.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. The mother and son are living in Lujiang County, Wei State, and are waiting to write a letter to you for your father."

About half an hour later, Elder Lu stopped his pen and gently blew the ink marks, then carefully put them in the envelope and sealed them with fire paint.

"Xiuliang, after more than twenty years, do you still have an impression of them, mother and son?"

Master Lu took the letter and said, "That man was still a child back then, and it must have changed a lot after more than twenty years.

But I remember his mother very clearly and would never admit the wrong person.”

"Very good, then you can go there as soon as possible. Never be discovered by Elder Gongsun's people.

Lujiang County is not too far away from here. Come back as soon as possible after finding someone."

"Yes, my son took his leave."

※※※※

More than ten days later, Xiao Xiang finally officially came out of confinement.

After resting for a few months, she was in a bad mood in the house for another month. She was really going crazy.

Mr. Li carefully took his pulse for him and confirmed that her body had completely recovered.

Xiao Yan couldn't wait to punch a set of punches, and then called Cao Kun to compete for a sword technique.

Cao Kun was not good at using knives, and was worried that she was overworked, so she only dared to use 60% to 70% of her skills. The result can be imagined.

Xiao Yan killed him until he was completely wiped out, and he was sweating all over.

But she still felt that she was not enough, so she wanted to ride a horse out of the city for a few laps, and it would be better to beat a few wild animals and survive the addiction to riding and shooting.

Cao Kun was almost crying.

"I said aunt, although you have already passed the confinement period, you must be careful.

The future is long, and you have decades left in your life. How many prey is waiting for you to fight!"

Xiao Yan glanced at him.

"I said you are a big man, you are a confinement person. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"No..." Cao Kun felt too wronged.

She is not ashamed of a woman, but he is a big man!
