Chapter 371 Suddenly
"What did Ali say?"
Shen Qian'an looked at the yard where he had lived for more than two years. The location here was good and he would not lose money if he sold it now.
"Ali asked you to take care of the rest."
Shen Qi'an nodded, "I won't sell this house. I'll put it up with a human trafficker and rent it out to students who need it. I'll charge a little money every month."
"Row."
Shen Changshan had no objection. Anyway, the family was not short of money, so there was no need to sell it.
"Yang Fan, go pack up the things in my study and bring them back tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Pei Yu returned to the house on Chunhui Road. Soon after he walked in, he saw dozens of mahogany boxes placed in the yard.
"Master, you are here. I saw that you ordered that all those things have been packed."
"Is that all you have to pretend?"
Mo Bai tried hard to control the twitching corners of his mouth, "Master, we could have installed eighty-eight, but this is just a betrothal gift, and that would be too conspicuous."
Hearing him say this, Pei Yu remembered what Ah Li had said. It seemed that she had said not to be too conspicuous.
"Well, just open it like this and let me see."
"Yes."
There is a person in front of each box. After hearing the instructions, he immediately opens the box to reveal the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, jewelry, cloth, etc. inside. This is the color of inheritance.
Pei Yu nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed packed full. "Tie up the big red flowers."
Pei Yu went to deal with other things. He was in a hurry on the way and had a backlog of trivial matters. He had to deal with them quickly, otherwise he would have no time to accompany Ah Li when he went to propose marriage the next day.
……
Suzhou Lu Mansion
"Master, is there someone looking for you outside?"
Lu Jing has taken over the Lu family from his father for some time, but the servants felt it was inappropriate to call him master, as they made a young man sound old-fashioned for no reason.
Calling him Young Master didn't give him the authority to manage things. Finally, someone came up with the idea of calling him Patriarch. The servants in the Lu Mansion and Lu himself thought it was appropriate, so they started calling him that.
In the study, Lu Jing was looking at the account book. When he was reading the key part, he heard the servant talking outside the door.
She frowned slightly. Didn't he tell her not to disturb her?
"Let him wait a moment."
The young man looked at the smiling young man in front of him. Although he was smiling, he felt a chill down his spine for no reason.
"I'm afraid this won't work, Patriarch, why don't you come out and see me!"
Lu Jing finally raised his head from the account book, closed it, turned it over to the box underneath, then stood up and walked out.
Fusheng's voice doesn't sound right. If someone is looking for him, shouldn't he be in the living room?
But he felt as if someone had already arrived at the door of the study. Although the guards of the Lu Mansion were not top masters, their skills were not bad either.
He didn't hear any sound of fighting just now, so how could anyone come to the door of his study without making any noise?
"crunch~"
The moment the door opened and he saw Tianqing standing outside, he suddenly realized that it was King Jingnan's man. No wonder.
Tian Qing cupped his fist, "Master Lu, my prince invites you to go to Daohua Village."
Prince Jingnan was so fast, but it didn't take long for him to reach Daohua Village with a self-deprecating smile on his face.
"The prince said when he would arrive."
"No, but I think you have a good relationship with Miss Shen, and the prince will go to propose marriage the day after tomorrow, so I think you should be there."
Hearing this, Lu Jing's pupils flashed twice, and he looked at Tian Qing, "Thank you for letting me know, I will be there soon."
"Having said that, I will take my leave now."
Tianqing bowed and quickly left the Lu Mansion.
"Homeowner?"
Seeing that everyone had left and the head of the family was still standing there as if he had lost his soul, Fusheng called out softly.
As expected, the head of the family didn't hear it, and he didn't dare to shout again, and quietly stepped aside.
Although the owner of the house is young, he is not someone who can be easily fooled. Now it is obvious that he is immersed in his own thoughts, so it is better not to interrupt him.
Lu Jing kept thinking about what Tianqing said. If the betrothal proposal was going to be made, it meant that Ali also agreed.
That’s fine!
He stood there for a long time before turning around and walking back to the study, but his steps were a little staggering.
Lu Jing stayed in the study alone for a long time, until it was dark, and there was no candle lit inside.
Fusheng outside was a little anxious. There was no sound from inside, so he ran out quickly and asked someone to call the young lady over. He continued to stand at the door and listen for any sound.
"what happened?"
Lu Nian hurried out, Dong Shuang holding a lantern beside him, "Miss, it's dark, walk slowly."
"Oh, Dong Shuang, please stop talking. I don't know what's going on with my brother, and I'm worried!"
Lu Nian's face was filled with anxiety. He looked at the servant who came to deliver the message, "What are you talking about?"
"Miss, I really didn't know that Fusheng has always been guarding the door of the master's study."
Lu Nian stopped talking and walked away with her lips pursed. Something must have happened, otherwise her elder brother would not have locked himself in the study.
Could it be that there is a problem with the family business?
Lu Jing walked to the door of the study, reached out to push it, and found that the study was locked from the inside.
"Clap clap~"
"Brother, I'm An Nian, open the door."
Lu Nian waited for a while, but no one opened the door, so he continued knocking. After knocking two or three times, the door finally opened from the inside.
Lu Jing walked out with a calm expression, "What's wrong, An Nian? Why are you running around so late instead of staying in your yard?"
Lu Nian looked at him suspiciously. Although nothing seemed wrong on her face, they were brother and sister. After spending such a long time together, she was still able to keenly notice that her elder brother was in a bad mood.
Pursing her lips, she pushed open the door of the study and said, "Turn on the light."
Fusheng looked at the head of the household cautiously, and seeing that he had no objection, he walked over and lit the lamp.
I pulled Lu Jing's sleeve and tried to pull him in, but I used all my strength and couldn't move him. He was still standing at the door.
"Big brother!"
Lu Jing sighed helplessly and followed her force to move inside.
"Anian, my brother still has things to do, so go back to your yard."
"No, if you don't tell me what happened this afternoon, I won't go back and will sleep in the study tonight."
Lu Nian pushed Lu Jing to sit on the chair, and then he sat opposite him and stared at him.
"Brother, we are siblings and have depended on each other for so many years. Is there anything you can't tell me?"
The corner of Lu Jing's mouth twitched. Is this how you depend on each other? Where did Anian put his father?
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Lu Nian expressed his guess.
"Is there something wrong with the family business?"
"Is our family going bankrupt?"
"Are you having health problems?"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
Seeing that none of this was right, she suddenly covered her mouth and said, "Brother, could it be Dad…"
"Anian, stop guessing. Your guesses are all wrong."
If I don't speak up, my father will probably be gone.
Lu Nian pouted, "I don't want to guess randomly. Who told you not to say anything? You even locked yourself in the study. You are already a grown-up, and you still use this trick."
Lu Jing admitted his mistake, "Okay, it's all my brother's fault, calm down."
Lu Nian blinked, feeling something was wrong.
