Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 128 The Second Prince Is Imprisoned
Lu Jinghuai and Lu's mother came out of the room. Seeing the daughter who had returned safely, Lu Jinghuai scolded: "A girl is running around, what if something happens?"

Mother Lu looked at the stern-faced husband, how could she not know what was going on in his heart.

In fact, during these days he was more worried about his daughter than anyone else. He was so worried every night that it was difficult to fall asleep. Every time he ate very little breakfast, he stared at his daughter's room in a daze.

His worries and thoughts are no less than those of himself and his mother-in-law, but the way men express their emotions is different.

"Father, don't be angry, I have come back safely." Lu Nanzhi said coquettishly, pulling his father's arm.

But Lu Jinghuai refused to buy it, he shook off her hand and turned around, the kid's temper almost made everyone present laugh out loud.

Lu Nanzhi stroked his forehead helplessly, jumped in front of Lu Jinghuai again, stretched out three fingers and vowed, "I promise there will never be a next time."

Lu Jinghuai looked at the swearing man, and finally there was a smile on his face, and he pulled his daughter up and down to look him up and down.

At noon, the family sat down to have a reunion dinner. Lu Nanzhi looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

She knew that Xu Beiting could make incense powder, but she didn't expect that he could also cook. After all, in ancient times, few men could do these things, but he had both.

Grandma Lu laughed even more and said, "It's all thanks to Beiting, otherwise we would all be worried to death. It's a pity that my Nanzhi already has a husband and son-in-law, otherwise I would definitely match you up."

"Miss Lu has a husband-in-law?" Xu Beiting paused when he sat down, his face obviously a little surprised.

"That's right, my Nanzhi's foster husband, this is the person Nanzhi appointed." Mother Lu echoed.

Lu Jinghuai kept silent. Although Xu Beiting was no worse than Shen Lanze, he just couldn't like this person.

"By the way, why didn't Lan Ze come back with you?" Lu Jinghuai asked, changing the subject.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Lanze walked in with warm pastries and some dishes.

"Grandma, Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, I just made this in Chunfenglou, please taste it quickly."

"Your Uncle Lu was still talking about you just now, so no one came here." Mother Lu pursed her lips and smiled.

Xu Beiting looked at Shen Lanze with unpredictable eyes, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

After Shen Lanze arranged all the meals, he walked to Xu Beiting's side, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, you have worked hard these days!"

Xu Beiting raised his eyes to look at her, and slightly curled his lips, "It's not hard, this place makes me feel at home."

"Oh? I remember Mr. Xu's family, isn't there still a younger sister and a sick mother? How can it be hard to run around like this?"

"My mother is treating illnesses, and my sister is accompanying me, so I have time to take care of Grandma Lu, Uncle Lu, and Aunt Lu."

The eyes of the two were intertwined, and sparks flew everywhere. Lu Nanzhi felt that the atmosphere was not right, and coughed lightly: "This food should be enjoyed while it is hot, and it will not taste good when it is cold."

"Nanzhi is right."

"Miss Lu is right."

The two said in unison.

When Lu Nanzhi picked up the chopsticks, a piece of fish was caught in the bowl.

Shen Lanze said with a gentle expression: "Nanzhi, eat more fish, you haven't eaten well all the way, this is specially made for you."

Xu Beiting also picked up a piece of fried meat and put it in her bowl, "Miss Lu seems to have lost a lot of weight. It seems that this journey has been really hard. It's better to eat more meat to replenish your body."

The two of you hold a chopstick, and I hold a chopstick. The bowls in front of Lu Nanzhi quickly piled up into a mountain.

She put down the chopsticks with a "snap", and the smile on her face couldn't hold back anymore. Can she still eat like this!
This action frightened the two of them to quickly put the food they were about to pick up into their own bowls.

Grandma Lu seemed to see something, and a meaningful smile flashed across her eyes.

After dinner, Lu Nanzhi hurried back to the room to rest on the pretext that she was too tired from the bumpy journey. She hid in the room and let out a long breath. She was really not suitable for such a situation.

Shen Lanze personally sent people out of the mansion, and said earnestly: "I know you have thoughts about Nan Zhi, but you'd better not have any bad thoughts."

"Heh, Miss Lu is so outstanding, I must not be the only man who is tempted by him." Xu Beiting confessed his inner thoughts without concealment, but his words were somewhat sour.

He admitted that he was very jealous of Shen Lanze now, even though he was a slave, the Lu family still accepted him without even looking down on him.

"Mr. Xu may have misunderstood me. If someone likes Nanzhi, it means that I have good vision, but I don't allow anyone to hurt her in the name of liking her." Shen Lanze's tone revealed a firm and warning .

Xu Beiting sneered after hearing this: "Hurt? It's better to leave this to Mr. Shen. Who else can hurt her except you?"

"You..." Shen Lanze's eyes widened angrily.

"Hmph!" Xu Beiting looked at Shen Lanze contemptuously.

Shen Lanze resisted the angry reminder, then turned around and left. No one can hurt Lu Nanzhi, even himself.

Seeing the back of Shen Lanze leaving, Xu Beiting's face became more sarcasm, and the hand placed by his side slowly clenched into a fist, looking up at the big word "Lu Fu" on the plaque.

One day he will enter here openly, and will take Shen Lanze's place to accompany Miss Lu. Only a person like him is worthy of Miss Lu.

It is impossible for Shen Lanze to give everything for Miss Lu, but he can, even his own life doesn't matter.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the storm has been falling for three days, and a thick layer of snow has piled up outside.

The fifth prince was praised by the emperor this time, and he was rewarded with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but the second prince was not convinced, and deliberately mentioned the Jinzhou plague and the tragic death of innocent people in the court hall.

The minister took the opportunity to mention the fact that the second prince had rescued and harmed innocent villagers, and even set fire to a village.

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and immediately imprisoned the second prince in the mansion, not allowing him to take half a step.

Concubine Song angrily smashed all the vases in the room, her nails dug deep into her flesh without noticing it, and scolded angrily: "Why has no one mentioned such a big matter to Ben Gong before!"

Pei'er looked at the angry man and responded cautiously: "The Second Highness is not allowed..."

"If he is not allowed to say it, you will not say it! Do you know who you are taking orders from!"

Now that things have become like this, she doesn't even have a chance to save her, and now Zi Heng will have no place in the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Pei'er hurriedly knelt down.

Concubine Song was about to slap her, but stopped when she raised her hand in the air, even if she was killed now, it was a fact that Ziheng was imprisoned.

"Forget it, tell the second prince to be more peaceful recently, and don't cause any other troubles, so that he can rest in the mansion."

"Yes, ma'am."

Since Lu Nanzhi learned that the second prince was imprisoned, she was very happy. Without the second prince as a stumbling block, her business grew bigger and bigger, and she earned more and more money.

And she even bought a shop and opened a medicine shop for Ye Jinran, in order to thank her for saving Shen Lanze's life.
