The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 633: Can't Hold Back

Shi Lianchun returned to the Lu Mansion, exhausted both physically and mentally, and to the side courtyard of the rear house where she was temporarily staying.

As soon as she turned onto the stone path back to her own courtyard, Lu Luo also walked into the backyard. He caught a glimpse of her back and said, "Why does this cousin of the Shi family look so distraught?"

How could I know? I could only guess, "Maybe he and the Third Miss are not getting along again?"

"Heh." Lu Luo smiled, "She and Rongrong don't get along, but Rongrong is deliberately not getting along with her, so how dare she not get along with her?"

The master and servant both knew the truth, so they decided not to continue the topic.

Lu Luo walked to the backyard, wanting to look for Lu Sen, but when he arrived at Lu Sen's yard, he realized that Lu Sen had not returned home yet.

He guessed that his elder brother must be busy in the Beijing government office because of official duties and had not yet left, so he declined his elder sister-in-law's suggestion to sit and wait, and turned back to his own courtyard in the front yard.

"You go to the front and guard. If big brother comes back, come and tell me." Lu Luo instructed Naishe.

"Yes." Naishe went.

Naiye entered the hall at this time, walked up to Lu Luo and reported: "Sir, those two people have evidence, but..."

"But what?" Lu Luo hated saying half of the story and leaving the other half. "Hurry up and tell me!"

Naiye replied, "But I was a step too late. The house was already empty, and their families were nowhere to be found either."

"Disappeared?" Lu Luo put down the tea bowl he had just picked up and said to Nai Ye seriously, "Tell me everything from beginning to end."

It was about quarter of an hour later when Lu Sen returned to the Lu Mansion.

Naishe followed Lu Luo's instructions. As soon as he saw Lu Sen's carriage stop in front of the mansion and Lu Sen getting off, he turned around and ran. He ran quickly back to Lu Luo and reported to him.

When Lu Luo heard this, he stood up without saying a word and strode out of the hospital.

When they walked to the veranda on the side of the front hall, Lu Luo happened to bump into Lu Sen: "Brother!"

"Are you waiting for me?" It was not the first time that Lu Sen saw Lu Luo so eager to see him, and his guess was right.

"Yes." Lu Luo nodded. Lu Sen was not walking fast. Lu Luo waited until Lu Sen passed him, then he turned around and walked side by side with his elder brother. "Brother, there is something I am not sure about. There is also the matter of assigning me an official position. I also want to ask where it is assigned to me."

These are the two things at the moment.

Lu Sen walked for a while until he passed the second gate and entered the backyard. He then answered Lu Luo's second question: "Your official position was obtained through the favor of the Lu family. You are not good at literature, so you can only be a military official. And there are not many military offices suitable for you. Don't worry, I will choose one."

How could Lu Luo not be anxious? He was still waiting to show his talents and make some political achievements after entering the officialdom so that Meng Shisan would no longer have the impression that he was just a playboy, but would change his impression for the better.

For example, he is actually a good official.

"Brother, you don't have to be too picky..."

"What's too much?"

Lu Sen disagreed with Lu Luo's excessive words. Before Lu Luo could finish expressing his urgent desire for an official position, he interrupted Lu Luo directly, leaving Lu Luo speechless.

"I chose for your sake and for the sake of the Lu family." Lu Sen made a careful selection and considered many aspects. Naturally, he had his reasons. "If you don't want to enter the officialdom in the future, I will let you do whatever you want. It's only your reputation that will be ruined." Lu Luo was speechless: "My reputation is also very important."

"I didn't say it's unimportant." Lu Sen glanced at Lu Luo and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you would care about your reputation now. I still remember at the beginning of the year, you shouted to me loudly, saying that it doesn't matter if your reputation is lost, it won't hinder you from living a happy life. Do you still remember?"

Lu Luo certainly remembered: "That was at the beginning of the year. It has been several months. Now my thoughts have changed. I will not think like that anymore."

Lu Sen walked into his own courtyard with a smile, shaking his head as he walked. He felt that his younger brother had grown up, and as an older brother he was both relieved and happy, but also a little doubtful.

However, that doubt disappeared when he thought of Meng Shisan.

It is likely that my younger brother made this huge change in order to marry the eldest daughter of the Meng family.

After entering the hall and sitting down, Lu Luo still waited obediently, waiting for Lu Sen to go and wash up and change into casual clothes before coming back, so that the two brothers could have a good talk.

After a while, Lu Sen came back and took the tea bowl handed to him by the servant. After taking a sip, he said, "Tell me, what are you unsure about?"

Lu Luo had been waiting here for a long time: "Brother, I found two witnesses to the collapse of the lantern mountain at Bixu Manor on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I had thought that after finding the two witnesses, I would quietly hold them down and then report to you, brother. I didn't expect..."

"Not pressed." Lu Sen continued.

Lu Luo said: "Yes."

"If I can get you to hold it down, then..." Lu Sen smiled meaningfully, "Then the Second Prince will be in big trouble."

"Brother, are you sure about what you said?" Lu Luo opened his eyes wide, his tone full of shock, "Although I have suspected it, I have never been able to get solid evidence!"

Lu Sen said: "I don't have any solid evidence either."

Lu Luo didn't understand: "Then why did Big Brother..."

"I'm so sure about it." Lu Sen said solemnly, and then added, "Believe it or not, not only your elder brother, but many people in the court have also guessed it long ago, but just like you, they haven't yet obtained solid evidence."

Lu Luo opened his mouth and then closed it after a while: "So what you mean is that I don't need to check those two witnesses anymore?"

"It's not just you who's investigating, but you can't find the person, and you can't even hold him down, so there's no need for you to continue." Lu Sen thought more thoroughly and deeply than Lu Luo. "I think if you found the person but couldn't follow him or hold him down, it means someone else has caught him."

Lu Luo was in high spirits and immediately asked, "Who?"

"You're asking me?" Lu Sen glanced at Lu Luo, who immediately became depressed after being asked back by him. "You're the one who investigated the matter and collected evidence, but you found nothing. And you're still asking me? Are you in such a hurry to take office?"

There was disappointment in his words.

Lu Luo felt very uncomfortable listening to this, but what Lu Sen said was all true, and he had no choice but to accept it. Even if his elder brother criticized him a few more times, he could only listen.

"Okay, take your time." Lu Sen also understood that everything must be done step by step. He was happy that Lu Luoken was making progress. He needed both criticism and encouragement.

Lu Luo nodded with his head down: "I'll listen to my elder brother."

"As for your thoughts, I understand." Lu Sen took the initiative to mention the marriage between Lu Luo and Meng Shisan, "But this matter cannot be rushed."
