C12 (2/2)

The old man harrumphed, ”For an outsider to take charge, he's quite the ambitious person.”

Lu JinNian sighed, knowing that this was not the place to talk. He looked at the servants with unfriendly eyes, ”Are you guys going to move aside, or not, or not.”

The servants looked at each other. They faced Lu JinNian and tightened their grip on the fire and water sticks in their hands, ”Eldest Miss, madam said that we are not allowed to go in …”

”So that's how it is.” Lu JinNian's beautiful fox eyes narrowed as he stared at these people, ”I'll remember your appearances. Warm, open the way.”

”Yes sir!”

Warmth closed the umbrella and jumped up the steps. Using the umbrella as a sword, he swept through the crowd. The servants were caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Lu JinNian supported the old man as they walked into the general's manor. In the end, he looked back at the people who had collapsed and said in a relaxed tone, ”I have a good memory. In the future, if you see me, scram a little further, or else you will be beaten every time you see me. At that time, your injuries will only be worse than they are now.”

After entering his own courtyard, Lu Jinniang asked Yi-Wen to arrange for the old man to stay in a side room in the courtyard.

Although Lu JinNian's yard was not as big as Mrs Shen's yard and was decorated extravagantly, it still had all the things that should be there. There were many clean and empty rooms, so he was not afraid of not having a place to live, but the old man was very dissatisfied.

”Jin'er, you are the daughter of a great general. You can't even be compared to two concubines like her. Your father is just a vexed man. Why didn't I beat him to death in the past?”

The corner of Lu JinNian's mouth twitched, ”Grandfather, that concubine is your granddaughter. My father is your own son, and he is also an imperial court official. If you beat him to death, you will be apprehended and executed.”

The old man angrily said, ”This old man is the same! ”The former court official!”

Lu JinNian, ”...”

The father of the court's general, Lu JinNian's grandfather Lu Jinghui, was the former general of the Ming Xuan Country. He was in his seventies and had been away from office for many years.

The general's position was not hereditary. Her father Lu Mo Ting did not have any connections with Lu Jinghui and had worked his way up from the ranks of the small troops in the barracks. Lu Jing Hui's departure had made up for her lack of a general.

The Lu family came from a grassroots background and had an acre of fertile land in their village, where they had always inherited a single wife. When they reached the generation of Lu Jinghui, they took care of themselves and ran to the army camp to fight for the position of general. They married and had two sons.

His eldest son, Lu Mo Ting, followed his father's steps to become a general, while his second son, Lu Mo Sheng, acted very much like Lu Jinghui's wife, an official to the junior minister of the Hong Diao Temple.

Lu Jinghui began to think highly of his eldest son, who had inherited his legacy. Only when he silently accepted Lady Shen as his concubine did he run away from home in anger.

However, even though the father and son duo had quarreled, Lu Jinghui was still very proud of him.

After Lu Jinghui left, he directly refused his two sons' request for retirement and returned to the ancestral land. He opened a garden and planted some crops, and it was soon time to sow the seeds.

”Speaking of which, why hasn't grandpa sent anyone to deliver a message? It's good to prepare a granddaughter in advance. ”

Besides, the Huns had come recently. Even if Lu Jinsheng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had heard that Lu Jinghui had beheaded several of the Huns' generals during his time in Rongsheng and had never liked the Huns.

Three years ago, when Ming Xuan Country and the Huns agreed to come and go through the business with each other, they became very angry. Could they have heard some news about this trip?

Lu Jinghui stared at her, ”I heard that your aunt is choosing your husband?”
