"Cough cough," Lu Jinnian's expression didn't change as she lowered her eyes. "I was just about to go to Lord Protector Yi's residence with my two sisters to inform my aunt. Since I'm still busy, we'll take our leave."

Still busy? Didn't that mean that Mrs Shen, who stayed in an empty room by herself, was having fun by herself and planned to continue after being seen by everyone?

Everyone shifted their gazes to Lu Jinnian, curious as to whether Lu Jinnian had said so on purpose or not.

However, Lu Jinnian's expression was calm as she leisurely turned around and walked out of the room. The rest of them did not stay any longer and walked out as well. The person at the back even closed the door for Mrs Shen.

However, before they could get far, they heard Mrs Shen's roar, "Lu Jinnian, I want you to live a life worse than death!"

Lu Jinnian-duo stepped forward and smiled even wider.

She had always wanted to throw herself into the wooden peach, to return it to Qiong Yao, to throw herself into a scheme, to return it a hundredfold, to live a life worse than death?

From the looks of it, she had backed down too much in the past few years, making them unable to recognize her identity. She did not think about the actions she had done to harm others, and instead accused others instead.

The rest of the servants carefully observed Lu Jinnian's expression, secretly thinking that it was enough to see that not only was Mrs Shen entertaining herself but also her own daughter, you, would not be able to handle it, to dare to directly say that you wanted to take revenge on her.

After a long silence, Lu Jinnian suddenly turned around and spoke to the crowd. "Maybe it's because Aunt is angry when she gets up, and it's not good to disturb her sleep. Go do what you need to do, Qingwan and Qingyao.

Lu Qingwan nodded and turned to run back to her own courtyard. Although she was only vaguely aware that her mother was doing such a thing, she still felt a bit embarrassed. She felt that the gazes of the servants towards her were all off.

Other people would take Mrs Shen's appearance as a sign that she couldn't endure the loneliness, but Lu Qingyao clearly knew that it was the symptoms of that kind of medicine.

Since Mrs Shen wanted to use that kind of medicine on Lu Jinnian, she wouldn't be so stupid as to use it herself. That way, she could only use it against Lu Jinnian.

When he looked at Lu Jinnian again, his eyes were filled with fear and joy. He was afraid that she might have some backing to rely on, but fortunately, he was not the one who did it.

Lu Jinnian raised her eyebrows, looking at Lu Qingyao who was still frozen in place, and smiled, "Sister Qingyao, don't worry. As long as you don't provoke me, I won't do anything."

Lu Qingyao raised her head in shock. Her words seemed to be a response to Mrs Shen's roar just now, but also seemed to be warning her of what she had in mind.

As long as they didn't provoke her, she wouldn't interfere no matter what they did. In other words, as long as they provoked her, Mrs Shen's current shameful ending was an example.

"Sister must be joking. What can sister do? She should go and fix her makeup. Wait for sister by the departing carriage?"

"You're a smart person," Lu Jinnian said. "I don't have an invitation. You can leave, and I'll go with grandpa."

Glimmers danced in Lu Qingyao's eyes. "Then little sister will take her leave."

"..."

In order to save the previous emperor's life on the battlefield, Lord Protector Lao Yi had tied a leg to his chest and refused to go back to the battlefield. The previous emperor had been extremely grateful to him and awarded him with the title of Duke of a Thousand Households and the title of Duke of the Empire.

However, Lord Protector Lao Yi was a righteous man, and he informed the late emperor that it was only right for the late emperor to die as an official. Lord Protector Lao Yi was a righteous man, and he informed the late emperor that it was only right for the late emperor to die as an official.

This was also a good start for the officials who would become nobles later on: If a person who risked his life like Lord Protector Lao Yi didn't want a fief, how could others have the guts to ask for it?

Lord Protector Lao Yi's health was not good, so he had already passed the title to his son.

Lu Jinghui, who came from a grassroots background and had learned from Lord Protector Lao Yi's early experiences, would often visit Lord Protector Yi's house, chat with Lord Protector Lao Yi and learn from him, or ask for advice before leaving for the government.

Now that he had returned to the Liangjing City, it was natural for him to pay a visit to his teacher who knew him well. Besides, Lu Jinghui was the former Great General, and the current Great General's father.

Lu Jinnian went back to her room and changed into a clean plain white gown with a lake blue water pattern on the cuffs. This was the most fancy of all her clothes.

Her red hair was still tied up, and there was no need to change her facial features. At first glance, she looked like a young, gentle youth who had yet to grow, but was neither male nor female.

Lu Jinghui looked at his granddaughter and was very satisfied, "Not bad, with your grandma's character, it would be even more perfect to find a young man as outstanding as grandpa."

Lu Jinnian, "…" Grandpa, be modest, be modest!

Lu Jinghui was wearing a brand-new dress that Mu Qi had taken from Lu Moting's wardrobe. Lu Moting basically didn't go home.

In the barracks, Lu Jinghui was wearing armor, but he basically didn't wear any ordinary clothes. Although he was a bit old, he was getting stronger and stronger, and his figure was still pretty good. He didn't look too out of place when wearing Lu Moting's clothes.

Lu Jinnian walked around Lu Jinghui twice and nodded, "As expected of grandpa, he's not bad, but there are some places that are not too suitable for him. I went to buy two pieces of materials yesterday, and I originally planned to make some for my dad, but my dad can't wear them either.

"Ever since your grandma passed away, the only one who can remember to make clothes for me is you, Jiner." Lu Jinghui patted on Lu Jinnian's shoulder with some regret.

"Let's go, let's go with grandpa to see your grandpa Yi first. It's just that I don't know if Jiner's riding skills have declined over these years. I heard that the young ladies of Liangjing City only ride in carriages?"

Lu Jinnian was exasperated, "Grandfather, did you forget about it after you left the Liangjing for so long? You are only allowed to ride a horse in Liangjing City slowly, and cannot ride a horse. If you do not want to be invited by Jingzhao Mansion to tea, then. "

Lu Jinghui rubbed his nose and snorted, "I know. I was talking about a horse farm in Lao Yi's mansion. I want to test my riding skills there with you."

Lu Jinnian, "…" Grandpa, don't try to hide it. Just look at your expression and you'll know that you have definitely forgotten about it!

However, with her grandfather's arrogant and pampered personality, he would never admit to it. Lu Jinnian shook her head in amusement, then told Mu Qi to prepare the horses and instructed him to follow beside her grandfather today.

He had already said that Mu Qi was a bodyguard specially hired for his grandpa. Even if it was just a play, he had to do it well. Besides, Mu Qi was a plastic talent; even if he was by his grandpa's side, he would still learn a lot.

However, when he told Mu Qi about this decision, Mu Qi blushed shyly again. Lu Jinnian could only say that he was sorry.
