Lu Xing and Lu Wan rushed into the main hall immediately, and then walked inside. The door was open, and it seemed that some coughing sounds could be heard from inside. Lu Xing's voice came out:

"Dad, you are in this state of health, why are you still looking at the account book?"

Then there was Lu Wan's crying sound. Xue Chen slowly walked into the room, feeling that the room was fine, at least cleaner. Following the sound, there was a man with gray temples sitting in front of the big desk next to the window. For a moment, Xue Chen seemed to see Lu. This man and Lu had a pair of similar eyes. Both seemed strict but contained warmth. The man seemed to see Xue Chen coming in with his children, a little surprised, but at that moment, he seemed to understand who was coming in and asked tentatively:

"Is it... Sister Chen?"

After Lu Zhouping said this, he coughed twice. Lu Xing walked behind him to calm him down. Lu Wan poured him tea. After drinking two sips, Lu Zhouping walked out from behind the desk. If it were calculated by age, he was only two years older than Lu, but his temples were gray and his shoulders seemed to be a little hunched. Perhaps he had not been basking in the sun for many years, his face was very pale, his eyes were deeply sunken, and his face was full of illness, which was like a dead branch that forced his spirit.

Standing in front of Xue Chen, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitation, he stopped talking, just pointed to the chair beside him and asked Xue Chen to sit down.

There were Yan Luodong and others guarding outside, and Sun's people did not dare to break in. Sun came to the door and wanted to shout loudly, but when he saw Yan Luodong's cruel gaze, he suddenly shook his head and pushed the people beside him forward with a harsh look. However, the thugs had long been taught a lesson by Yan Luodong and the other five people, so they did not dare to come forward to find a beating. They shook their heads at Sun with bitter faces. Sun snorted angrily and cursed: They were all waste. Then they turned away, as if they were going to bring reinforcements.

Liao Xuan looked at the calm Yan Luodong and asked him, "Brother, should we stop that woman? I heard that she is the magistrate's girl. Don't call out officers and soldiers at that time, it will be difficult to deal with."

Yan Luodong glanced at the yard where there was no movement, and saw Qin Feng and Xia Zhu standing outside the door waiting. In other words, the lady had no new instructions. She shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's protect the lady. I see that the lady is just thinking that the majesty Sun, who is committing the murder of the sister, will do it for a while. Let's just follow the instructions, and don't worry about the rest."

Liao Xuan didn't understand why Yan Luodong listened to Xue Chen so much, and it seemed to have a little blind obedience, which was really puzzling. However, when he was chosen by the prince, he patted his chest and promised that he would protect his wife back. At this time, there was no reason to retreat. It was just a mob composed of a group of officials. The Jinyiwei really didn't see it. What's more, the lady inside, although she was young, was a serious first-class lady of imperial decree, several levels higher than the prefect. There was nothing to be afraid of. It prevented the woman from reporting the news, but instead made them look petty.

Not to mention a small prefect, even the prefect of Northern Zhili came over, and his identity was not much lost. Thinking of this, Liao Zhao became peaceful.

"Do your father know that you are here?" Lu Zhouping asked Xue Chen in this way.

Xue Chen shook his head truthfully and said, "He doesn't know, I came here with Brother Xing and Sister Wan."

Lu Zhouping coughed twice, then pointed to the gate and said, "Then go back quickly. Your father... won't like you who come here. Our Lu family and your Xue family have long been old and never interacted with each other. Your mother also divided the Lu family before her death. After she died, our two families have no connection. It is Xing'er and Wan'er who are ignorant. The Lu family's affairs are not necessary for you Xue family to take care of."

Xue Chen glanced at Lu Zhouping coldly, not wanting to tell him the truth at this time, and talked about the past, and just asked:

"Then are you planning to take Xing Ge'er and Wan Jie'er in this yard for the rest of your life? Xing Ge'er is eighteen, but she hasn't married yet this year. Wan Jie'er is fifteen, but she has found someone? It doesn't matter if the Lu family's property is sent to Sun's hands, right?"

Lu Zhouping coughed violently again. Xue Chen stood up and didn't intend to talk to him. He was about to go out, but he saw an old woman with white hair standing in front of the door, wearing cloth and linen, covered with a blue cloth turban, with an apron tied around her waist, and her hands were covered with carbon black ash. She stood with her door and stared at Xue Chen's figure up and down with emotion.

To Xue Chen's surprise, she had a little impression of this kind face, but in fact, if she included her previous life, she hadn't seen her grandmother's face for more than 30 years, but she still remembered that when she was a child, she was this kind face. When she saw her, she would give her pastries, and that sweet pastry, she was afraid that she would be hungry.

"Chen...sister?"

Mu looked at the graceful girl in front of him and was extremely moved. Her legs became weak and she almost had to rely on the door frame to stand. She seemed to see her daughter back then. When her daughter got married, she looked so graceful and beautiful. But in a blink of an eye, it had been so many years, and the white-haired man had already left the black-haired man forever.

He could no longer hold on and fell to the ground holding the door frame. Seeing this, Xue Chen hurriedly ran over. Xia Zhu and Qin Feng had already helped Mu up from left to right. Xue Chen felt quite uncomfortable when he saw her crying. He shouted softly:

"Grandma."

Mu nodded as if he had heard the best words he had heard in his life, and threw himself on Xue Chen, saying, "Sister Chen, it's my sister Chen back. You are a miserable mother. When she died, I couldn't even send her away. I didn't expect that I would see you again in my lifetime."

Xue Chen also felt sad. As far as she knew, the Mu family had only two children, one was Lu family and the other was Lu Zhouping. Lu family passed away early, and the old lady was the only son of Lu Zhouping.

Now that the Lu family is controlled by Sun, even her, the old lady who enjoys happiness in Wanping, has been placed under house arrest. Sun is really hateful.

Seeing that his mother and Xue Chen recognized each other, Lu Zhouping couldn't help but cough in the inner room and said, "Mom, have you forgotten what your father said before he died? No matter how unrelated our Lu family and Xue family are, future generations are not allowed to interact. You... cough cough... cough cough..."

But Mu was very excited and immediately refuted Lu Zhouping's words: "Just because of his words, I haven't seen my daughter again in the past ten years. Now her daughter is here to see me, why can't I have anything to do with her? This is my granddaughter! My Xiuping, my Xiuping, I'm sorry to you."

Xue Chen helped Mu into the room and sat down, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe Mu's tears, and said, "Grandma, don't cry, you hurt your eyes carefully."

Mu nodded, and suddenly remembered and asked, "Daughter, how did you come in? Your new aunt is so evil. She locked up your uncle, but she was afraid that I would talk to the people in the Lu family shop, so she tricked me from Wanping and locked me up with your uncle in this courtyard where you saw the sky. It was called Tiantian and didn't respond. The call was not effective. Your uncle's illness was not good. The woman was too vicious. She wanted your uncle to check the accounts for her, so she threatened him with your uncle's medicine. Your father and grandfather are both officials. Can you save us and rescue us? I really can't live this day. If Sun wants wealth, then heal her, just ask her not to torture us again."

Xue Chen's nose was also very sad, and he nodded repeatedly to comfort Mu and said, "Grandma, don't cry. I really don't know that such a big thing happened to the Lu family. If Brother Xing and Sister Wan went to the capital to report me, I still don't know today. Don't worry, I'm here to save you, but uncle... you advise him for me, there is no need to waste the lives of the Lu family and your own for the sake of the previous generation, right?"

Mu agreed with Xue Chen's statement and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, he doesn't know that he can't live this life anymore. It's just that he is too stupid and filial, and always remembers what your grandfather said before his death, but at that time, your grandfather could not predict that our Lu family would end up in such a state! The people did not fight with officials. This sentence was passed down by the old man. It's not unreasonable. Your grandfather loved to fight with your father during his lifetime, but in the end, what did he get? Even when your mother died, I didn't know that I didn't go to send her for the last journey. What's the point of fighting with this fighting?"

Lu Zhouping's cough was still going on, but this time, he himself did not refute what Mu said in the outdoor room. Xue Chen wiped Mu's tears. Xia Zhu quickly went to the backyard to get water for Mu, asking her to wipe her face and wash her hands. Since Mu was placed under house arrest in this small yard, she has never enjoyed the maid's service again, and she was filled with mixed feelings.

Xue Chen felt very sad when he saw her appearance. He seemed to hear a sound outside. He walked out of the corridor and stood in the yard and looked out the arch outside. Sure enough, he saw Sun leading a group of yamen in official skins coming to the yard.

Gu Chao came in and asked Xue Chen for instructions: "Miss, what do we do next?"

Xue Chen pondered for a moment, then turned around and said to Xia Zhu and the others, "Xia Zhu, Qin Feng, you stay and serve the uncle and the old lady. Gu Chao, you take two people outside the yard and don't allow anyone to get close."

After saying this, Xue Chen walked out of the yard without looking back. Sun and his men rushed to her, and were isolated by Yan Luodong and Liao Qian.

Sun pointed to Xue Chen and shouted to the officers and soldiers: "It's her. This woman broke into a private house and beat me. Hurry up and arrested her! Send her to the lobby of the prefect and beat her dozens of boards."

Yan Luodong looked back at Xue Chen, and only then heard Xue Chen say, "Oh, the official mission has come. How dare you ask what the identity of this lady is? Even the official mission is screaming."

Sun snorted proudly, and the head of the captain who came with her to arrest the person shouted:

"Where did the yellow-haired girl come from? She dared to be rude to our aunt! Who doesn't know in Daxing that our aunt is the real girl of Magistrate Sun. Look at you, you are a person who is looking for death. Here comes someone, arrest me and send it to the hall, and wait for the magistrate to decide!"

Yan Luodong and Liao Qian were about to draw their swords, but Xue Chen walked over and pushed the knife around their waists back. He said to the headmaster without changing his face:

"It's so good. I believe that the magistrate must be a person who is very clear about his or her right and wrong. It's better to go to the lobby. I haven't been to the government office yet, and I have only heard of it in the plays. I can just go and see it. This official, please lead the way."

The captain was frightened by Xue Chen's calm expression. He looked back at Sun and asked in a low voice:

"Grandma, this is a tough guy, right? Why don't she know how afraid?"

Sun also replied in a low voice: "What a tough guy? Her father is just a fifth-rank civil servant, and she is even more incompetent. Even if you catch me, you will be beaten first. When her father finds out, it will be too late."

The headmaster was still a little worried: "Miss, is it appropriate for us to catch it back like this?"

Sun was angry: "If you ask you to arrest me, you can arrest me! Who knows what the origin of this woman is? We just need to know that her origin is unknown. She led someone into my house and beat me. You arrested her to the government. Even if she told her identity, who would believe that a lady in the boudoir would do such a thing? Even if her father came here, so what? She is just a small fifth-rank official, what are you afraid of? Then we will beat people and get angry. If she survives, she will probably be disabled. What can her father do? If she dies, she will just throw the body to the mass grave, so that her father can't even find anyone! Hum!"
