Chapter 1851 Let them go
Lu Anrong knew the outcome as soon as he saw Lu Anfan's attitude.
The possibility that he wanted to find Lu Anfan to leave with them is zero.
He could only inquire again about the situation at the border, whether it was dangerous. In truth, he was concerned for Lu Anfan.
Lu Anfan still couldn't calm down and said some of the things he could talk about.
When it was time to leave, Lu Anrong gritted her teeth and finally spoke to him.
“An Fan, we’re starving right now. I’m young and strong, so I’m fine, but my aunt and sisters are weak. If we can’t buy some cotton to put in their old clothes, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get through this winter.”
"If you have some money on hand, could you lend us some first? Your brother will find a way to pay you back later."
Lu Anrong felt extremely ashamed to ask Lu Anfan for money, but he had no choice.
Lu Anfan hadn't expected him to ask him for money. He cracked his knuckles, feeling quite uncomfortable.
He wanted to refuse, but he had endured the cold in Shuning Subei, and he couldn't bear the thought of his aunts and the others getting frostbite if they really didn't have cotton-padded clothes to wear.
After all, she was the one who carried him for ten months and gave birth to him.
Lu Anfan gritted his teeth, took out his purse, and took out a ten-tael silver note. He was originally going to hand over the ten taels, but after thinking about it, he put the ten taels back and handed over the whole purse.
There should be another fifty taels and some loose silver in here.
Before he could finish speaking, his purse was snatched away.
Lu Anrong grabbed the purse and hurriedly said goodbye, "Thank you, then you should go in quickly, don't keep your friends waiting. I will definitely pay you back later."
After saying that, Lu Anrong took off running.
Lu Anfan frowned as she watched his retreating figure.
"Brother An Fan, come in quickly." Someone poked their head out of the window and called to him.
"coming."
Lu Anfan could only turn around and go inside.
Rong Jingjing went to a secluded spot, wrote a Taoist talisman, and summoned a ghost messenger.
When the ghost messenger arrived, Rong Jingjing was stunned for a moment.
Because these are ghost messengers from the Judge's Palace, and they are considered to be of a high rank.
“Miss Rong, our senior sister told us to keep an eye on your movements in the mortal realm. If you are summoned, come up immediately. Other ghost messengers can't come to the palace easily either. Our senior sister gave us special passes, so just call me if you need anything.”
They were still paying special attention to summoning this side.
Rong Jingjing hadn't expected her senior sister to have such a plan.
It was only then that she realized that in the palace, it would be very difficult to summon ghost messengers at will.
Fortunately, the eldest sister was prepared.
She gave a letter to the ghost messenger. "This is a matter concerning the Lu family. Please give it to my eldest sister for me."
Rong Jingjing also felt that she should ask her senior sister about this matter.
There's really no one in the palace who can take care of the Lu family right now. I heard the Crown Prince is so busy he doesn't even have time to drink water.
The emperor still hasn't woken up.
In a few hours, the officials will attend court, and Prime Minister Shen and his associates will put forward someone to act as regent.
The Crown Prince also needs to prepare for tomorrow's morning court session.
In these matters, the Lu family members seem less important.
"I'll send the letter down right away."
Upon hearing that the letter was addressed to Lu Zhaoling, the ghost messenger dared not delay and quickly went downstairs.
Lu Zhaoling received the letter in the Judge's Hall.
After she came out of the Yama King's Palace, Xiao Hei took the initiative to tell her that he would go and check on Zhou Shiyue's situation again. Lu Zhaoling was thinking of drawing more talismans to prepare more talismans that Zhou Shiyue might need, so she returned to the Judge's Palace.
The ghost messenger handed Rong Jingjing's letter to her.
Lu Zhaoling's brow furrowed as she realized that the Lu family might be trying to leave the capital now.
Actually, it's perfect!
She also wanted to know what other secrets the Lu family held!
Old Lu suggested it; he probably wants to go back to his hometown!
“You can help me send a message to the higher-ups,” Lu Zhaoling thought for a moment and came up with two candidates, “I’ll have Zong Bie and Xiao Sheng go and follow the Lu family.”
After thinking about it, she still wrote a letter and sent the ghost messenger up to deliver it.
This time, the letter was delivered directly to Zong Bie.
Zong Bie was quite happy to hear that Lu Zhaoling had assigned him and Xiao Sheng a task.
Because Lu Zhaoling also included several talismans with the letter.
They were also given a summoning talisman, so that they could summon ghost messengers in case anything happened.
He could also take the opportunity to take Xiao Sheng out of the capital for a stroll.
When Xiao Sheng saw the letter, he clenched his fist and promised to keep a close eye on the Lu family.
Rong Jingjing knew that Lu Zhaoling had no intention of stopping the Lu family, so she did not tell the Crown Prince about it.
So, the Lu family members quietly slipped out from the collapsed section of the western city wall the next day, before dawn.
Not long after, Lu Anrong also went out.
He did not go to find Lu Zhaoyun.
Around noon, he caught up with the rest of the Lu family. When they counted heads, they realized that Lu Rubao hadn't come along.
The Lu couple immediately erupted in anger.
"Where is Ru Bao?"
Lu Laosan's wife pinched Lu Rulian's arm hard. "Didn't you sleep in the same room as Rubao? Didn't I tell you to call her? That brat wouldn't just sleep through the night in a shabby room, would she?"
Lu Rulian's face changed when she was pinched.
"She's got legs, and I'm exhausted too. How could I possibly keep an eye on her all night?"
"And what about when you came out?"
"Didn't you push us to leave quickly when we came out? It was pitch black then, and I didn't see Ru Bao at all."
Lu Zhaoyue said coldly, "Is there any need to say that? She's been clinging to Qiu Yunzhen lately, there's no way she'll leave with us."
Lu Rubao really didn't want to go with them.
Where could she go after leaving? She didn't want to live that kind of life of hiding and running. Wouldn't it be better if she followed Qiu Yunzhen into the Second Prince's residence?
At least we can eat and drink well.
Lu Rubao also guessed that Lu Anrong wouldn't call Lu Zhaoyun, so Lu Zhaoyun didn't leave either.
If she does well in the future, maybe she can look for them again. If they can't make it out there, they can come back.
They've all left; it will be difficult for them to return to the capital.
"What about Zhaoyun?" the third concubine asked.
“She doesn’t want to leave. I asked her, and she said that she will definitely be able to wait until the Second Prince changes his mind. Moreover, no matter who ascends the throne, he will not take her life. She told us to leave on our own, and she would stay in the capital so that she could keep in touch with us if anything happened.”
Lu Anrong lied without even blinking.
Since he said so, the others had no choice but to believe him.
After all, Lu Zhaoyun might very well not want to leave the Second Prince's residence.
"Then let's go, let's go back to the village!" Old Lu waved his hand.
The Lu family left the capital just like that.
Lu Zhaoling received the news but didn't pay any attention to it for the time being.
