Chapter 46 Extra: The End

  Lu Yu lightly wrote a sentence, and the faces of the Ping family members were different, frozen in place. After a while, she lowered her head to think, then raised her black eyes to look at Ping Sanbo and said: "Third Uncle, I don't believe Ah Yun will have an accident, you should put all our things back in their original place, I want to wait for Ah Yun to come back here." Her face turned red, she pouted and said: "If Ah Yun doesn't come back, I'll go find him!" The word "him" was filled with a kind of unbridled boldness. The Ping family members looked at each other, and after a while, Ping Sanbo furrowed his brow and said: "This matter is a bit strange, Ah Yu, maybe it's really those damn servants who made a mistake. Alright, you stay here first, Third Uncle will go and figure out what happened."

  Lu Yu nodded hastily, and Ping Shi's third uncle let out a sigh of relief. However, his wife couldn't help but ask, "Ah Yu, does that nobleman really like you that much?" Lu Yu's face turned red as she lowered her head.

  Seeing that she was too embarrassed to respond, the third aunt felt a bit annoyed. Meanwhile, Huang Shu walked forward and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yu, with his high status, will he send someone to keep an eye on you? This is not something to be taken lightly; if others hear about it, it could ruin your life!" She spoke seriously, clearly treating Lu Yu like a fool.

  As soon as Huang Shu asked this question, the Ping Shi family members all leaned in to listen intently. Lu Yu pursed her lips and said, "I don't care if he's watching me or not! What's there to make a fuss about?" Huang Shu looked up at the fourth aunt.

  Here is the translation:

  After another moment of silence, Lu Xuan raised her head and said: "Grandmother, Third Uncle, you should go back first. I'll wait here for my brother to return." Ping Shi's third uncle said from the side: "This is also good, Ah Xuan. Third Uncle will immediately go back and investigate what happened with Ah Yun." He was truly a bit regretful this time. They had come too hastily, thinking that with so many elders present, they could easily pressure Lu Xuan into returning to the Ping manor. Who would have thought something unexpected would happen? If he had known about the noble's arrangements beforehand, he shouldn't have brought up Lu Yun as a topic. After some thought, Ping Shi's third uncle left behind Huang Shu and five other maidservants to watch over the Lu siblings, leaving them with some gold before taking Ping Lao Fu Ren and others back.

  Outside, the rain was drizzling, while in the room, Huang Shu and others were staring at Lu Yue with wide eyes. Looking at their fake smiles, Lu Yue stood up. Huang Shu hastily asked: "Ah Yue, where are you going?" But Lu Yue ignored her, walking straight out of the door. The three maids and Huang Shu quickly chased after her to stop her from leaving, but Lu Yue turned around and calmly returned to the room. Then, as if nothing had happened, she picked up a book and began reading it with a calm expression. Huang Shu first let out a sigh of relief, then glanced at Lu Yue's serene face and couldn't help but think: Her earlier action was clearly an attempt to leave, could it be that she knew they would stop her, so she was playing tricks on them? Lu Yue indeed was playing with them, these people were treating themselves like prisoners! Humph, Ping Shi San Shu had left them behind to keep an eye on herself, while he himself must have gone to investigate the matter of her brother.

  Right away, they would know that her brother had been studying at the school all along, and that what happened at Wang Shang's house was purely a fabrication by Lu Xuan to scare them. Then they would know that Lu Xuan had known about their plans all along and had been deceiving them with lies. In the room, several women stared at each other for a while before a knock on the door came, and Huang Shu hurriedly opened it. The person standing in the doorway was a servant from Pingfu, who whispered to Huang Shu for a few moments before they both turned their heads, looking at Lu Xuan with complex expressions. Now, all of their masters knew that Lu Yun had been studying at school! This little girl in front of them had been telling lies as if they were true, and had been fooling them around.

  Moreover, the old lady spoke up and said that if this sentence is a lie, then what Lu Xuan said about the nobleman valuing her must also be a lie. The old lady ordered the servant to pass on a message saying that they would send someone again later to take Lu Xuan back to the Ping Manor by force. The old lady asked Huang Shu and others to temporarily go along with her. After sending away the servant, Huang Shu's gaze towards Lu Xuan added a few points of vigilance and disdain. Just as she entered the room, Lu Xuan slipped past her. Seeing Lu Xuan walking out on her own, Huang Shu immediately caught up with her and called out: "A Xuan, where are you going?" Lu Xuan turned around and said "I'm going to see him." See who? The nobleman? Is that kind of person so easily met? Seeing Lu Xuan's innocent and carefree expression, Huang Shu was speechless for a moment, then whispered: "Miss, this is not good.

  "With his identity……” “He said, I can go see him anytime.” Lu Yue stared at Huang Shu with a few hints of impatience in her voice. She obviously didn't want to explain further and took a step towards the gate. Seeing Lu Yue leave, Huang Shu and others looked at each other, then chased after her. Lu Yue walked quickly, opening the door and exiting the alleyway. When she saw Huang Shu approaching, she thought of forcibly holding herself back, her voice rose, and she said in a bad tone: "Huang! Are you treating me like a prisoner?" Her voice was sharp. Huang Shu was startled, carefully looking at the surrounding walls, and smiled apologetically to Lu Yue: "Ah Yue, listen to me..." Lu Yue didn't listen, taking another step forward.

  As Huang Shu and others caught up, she even ran away with her legs. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan rushed into the street, seeing that she was panicked by her own behavior, Huang Shu was anxious and didn't know what to do. At this time, a maid asked in a low voice: "Do you want to chase after her?" Huang Shu thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and said: "We'll follow her!" Lu Xuan appeared at the gate of Yi Garden. This time's Lu Xuan was completely different from the previous two times. Every time before, she wore a delicate men's suit, but now she not only wore simple women's clothing, but also because of the rain, her hair and clothes were all wet. The whole person looked disheveled. Disheveled Lu Xuan walked towards the two Jinwu guards on her own.

  In their gaze, Lu Xuan spoke in a low voice: "I am..." Before she could finish her sentence, the two Jinwu guards took a step back simultaneously, moved away from the long spear, and gestured for her to enter. Lu Xuan did not enter; instead, she smiled and asked, "Do you two recognize me?" The round-faced guard on the left replied, "Miss is joking. You've only changed your clothes; we're not blind." "Thank you," Lu Xuan said with a smile, bowing slightly to them before entering. Behind her, Huang Shu and others who had been watching the scene exchanged glances, their faces changing color: So, Miss was telling the truth! She had reached the point of coming and going freely in that noble's mansion! This feeling was more like shock than surprise.

  It was as if she had seen someone she could bully at will, and in the blink of an eye, they became a noble relative. With her heart pounding rapidly, Huang's wife only had one thought at this time, which was to immediately report this matter to her master. After Lu Xue entered the garden, she walked out for a few steps, and after making sure that no one outside could see her, she lazily stopped in her tracks. At this time, the sky was still drizzling with fine rain, and the raindrops were floating on her hair and clothes, giving off a cool feeling despite the warmth of spring. Lu Xue didn't want to meet anyone, so she headed deep into the garden. After walking for forty or fifty steps, she simply entered the bamboo forest. At this time, she didn't notice that in the not-too-distant pavilion, two people were staring at her.

  Looking at Luoyin from afar, the elegant and refined nobleman lazily said: "Go, take her to bathe and change into clean clothes." "Yes." The two maidservants had just responded when they saw Luoyin's figure move in the bamboo forest. Then, she walked towards the gate without stopping. She had just arrived, but was leaving again. Watching her walk away with a crisp and neat figure, the two maidservants looked at their master together, while the guard asked in confusion: "What does she mean? Why did she leave as soon as she came?" He asked his master. The nobleman raised the wine cup in his hand, shook it slightly towards Luoyin's direction, and lazily said: "What else could it be? It's just borrowing power! This little girl has made it a habit to borrow my power, and also made it a habit to deceive me."

  The last sentence was spoken, and several maidservants who had been carefree just a moment before suddenly lowered their heads in unison, not daring to make a sound. After taking a sip of wine, the nobleman spoke with a low, muffled laugh: "En, tomorrow you go on an errand and tell her that I've heard everything she said. Since she has this intention, let her ride in a carriage by herself and enter the Yi Garden through the side door. En, tell her that I might give her a title." The guard bowed his head and clasped his fists, responding crisply: "Yes!" Lu Yue had no idea that her actions had already been seen through by someone. When she walked out of the main gate of the Yi Garden, the two Golden Armor Guards were still in a daze. Getting back on the ox cart that had brought her, Lu Yue returned to her own home. She didn't walk quickly, and when she arrived at the alley, another servant from the Ping Manor was standing in the rain, guarding the gate of her house.

  As she walked in, they simultaneously lowered their heads. Lu Xuan didn't pay attention and walked straight in. The room was tidy and organized, not only were the furniture that had been moved around by Ping Shi's servants put back in place, but it had also been thoroughly cleaned. In the evening, her younger brother happily bounced into the house. His carefree expression made it clear that the confrontation that had occurred at home today hadn't affected him at all. Then, less than a minute after her brother came in, Ah Qing from Ping Fu's third house appeared at her doorstep. This gentle and soft-spoken maid looked a bit dazed. She first looked at Lu Xuan with confusion before saying: "Ah Xuan, your Third Uncle asked me to come see you." After closing the door, she put down the basket in her hand and lifted the cloth covering it, pointing at the three wooden boxes inside and said: "There are 300 taels of gold here, your Third Uncle asked me to bring them to you.

  He also told me to tell you that today's matter, please don't take it to heart. He said, even if we break bones, we are still one family." But then came the apology! She was really in a hurry, and it wasn't in vain for her to brave the rain.
