The Prodigal Son

Seeing Lü Si running up to him and acting like a rogue, Qin Yu almost laughed out of anger.

That son of a bitch!

They've lost all sense of shame!

Trying to extort money from me?

Qin Yu shook his head and smiled to himself, "Forget it, I'll give you a clear path: you need to go see the Empress Dowager about this!"

"What kind of Empress Dowager am I looking for!"

Lu Si looked at Qin Yu with a wry smile, "I reckon this was decided by the Empress Dowager! If going to the Empress Dowager would be useful, why would I be coming to you?"

"Then I'm afraid I can't help you!"

Qin Yu shrugged. "I have to go out later. Go back to where you came from. Don't try to freeload; there's no food for you!"

"I don't!"

Lu Si plopped down on the floor. "If you don't help me figure something out, I'm not going anywhere else, I'm just going to stick around with you!"

"Get lost!"

Qin Yu was both amused and annoyed. His face darkened as he said, "Don't try to play dumb with me! Believe me or not, I'll have you tied up and sent back to the Lü family. If you don't mind the embarrassment, I don't care!"

"I……"

Thinking of the scene Qin Yu described, Lü Si immediately lost his temper.

No one else would dare to do that.

But Qin Yu, that bastard, is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

If Qin Yu really kidnaps him and sends him back to the Lü family, where will he put his face?

After hesitating for a moment, Lü Si stood up, looked miserable, and pleaded with Qin Yu, "Please help me! There's really no one else who can help me right now but you! Marrying that piece of shit is worse than death for me!"

"Your mindset is wrong!"

Qin Yu composed himself and said seriously, "Look, we didn't get along before, did we? But now we're doing great, aren't we?"

"Look at me and Xu Wan, didn't we used to clash? But now we're doing just fine, aren't we?"

"After you and Shi Lian'er get married, you might become inseparable within a few days..."

Qin Yu patiently and earnestly brainwashed Lü Si.

If it didn't involve matters of national importance, he could offer Lü Si some bad advice.

But this matter is of great importance!

If he gives Lü Si bad advice and ruins the marriage, the female devil will definitely not let him off the hook.

Under Qin Yu's constant brainwashing, Lü Si gradually lowered his head and began to ponder.

It seems I'm starting to feel something for them.

秦遇正準备乘胜追击，继续给吕嗣洗脑，吕嗣突然抬起头，露出一个极其欠揍的笑容，「要不这样，你帮我把史怜儿娶了？就你这家世，这相貌，这才学，完全……」

"Get lost!"

Qin Yu refused without even thinking.

Depend on!

He thought he had successfully brainwashed Lü Si!

And this bastard actually came up with such a terrible idea?

That son of a bitch!

To avoid marrying Shi Lian'er, he'd come up with any terrible idea!

After being ruthlessly rejected by Qin Yu, Lü Si's face turned deadpan again. He grabbed Qin Yu's arm and pleaded pitifully, "Grandpa, I'll call you Grandpa, okay? Please help me!"

"Why the hell are you like a leech, sticking to me like glue?"

Qin Yu sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead. "Anyway, I've told you everything I should and shouldn't have said. I can't help you with anything now! Instead of begging me here, you'd be better off going to cultivate a relationship with Shi Lian'er!"

"Pooh!"

Lu Si spat out a mouthful of saliva, his face full of disgust, and said, "I feel like throwing up just looking at her, and I still want to find her..."

As he was speaking, Lü Si suddenly froze as if possessed.

A moment later, as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Lü Si's face.

Before Qin Yu could figure out what was going on, Lü Si suddenly released Qin Yu.

"Ha ha……"

The next moment, as if possessed, Lü Si ran out laughing.

Looking at Lü Si's retreating figure, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Look what you've done to the child!

They're starting to go crazy!

Is this grandson trying to escape this marriage by feigning madness?

Ugh!

Arranged marriages are a killer!

……

After leaving the Qin family, Lü Si, who had no appetite, suddenly felt his stomach growling with hunger.

Ah!

We need to eat our fill first!

You need to be full to have the strength to beat someone up!

Correct!

Thinking about what he was going to do in a little while, Lü Si's body trembled involuntarily, whether from excitement or fear.

"call!"

Lu Si exhaled a breath of stale air, rubbed his slightly cold hands, and found a noodle shop. He shouted imposingly to the waiter, "Two bowls of braised noodles, and two ounces of pig's head meat!"

"Okay!"

The waiter agreed.

Soon, two bowls of noodles and two ounces of pig's head meat were served.

Lu Si ate mouthfuls of noodles and meat, sweat beading on his forehead.

Lu Si stopped eating when he was almost full.

By this time, he had already eaten all two ounces of meat, and there was still half a bowl of noodles left.

After paying the bill, Lü Si went straight to Sifangguan and, led by the staff of Sifangguan, arrived at the east courtyard where Shi Lian'er and the others were staying.

Lu Si cleared his throat slightly before saying to the servants of the Shi family at the door, "Go and inform your young lady that Lu Si, son of Lu Chunqiu, the Minister of Justice, has come to apologize to her!"

The servant bowed and said, "Young Master Lü, I'm so sorry, my young lady went out with the master early this morning."

"Going out?"

Lu Si frowned. "Does she not want to see me, or has she really gone out?"

"I've really gone out!"

The servant quickly replied, "If Young Master Lü doesn't believe me, he can come into the courtyard and take a look."

"Where did they go?"

Lu Si was unwilling to give up and pressed for more information.

I've already eaten my fill!

I'm just waiting to give Shi Lian'er a good beating!

"this……"

The servant looked at Lü Si with difficulty, "Where the master and the others are going, they won't tell me!"

Fuck your mother!

Lu Si cursed inwardly and left dejectedly.

never mind!

If we can't see each other today, then we'll see each other tomorrow!

If we don't see each other tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow will be fine!

There will always be a chance to meet!

If you see that piece of shit, give her a good beating first!

Perhaps, we can even beat up that Shi Yi too!

If Shi Yi still wants to marry his daughter to him, he'll accept it!

"Achoo..."

Shi Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed in the carriage, sneezed.

Shi Lian'er glanced at her father and said angrily, "Father, do you really want me to marry that beast Lü Si?"

"Since the Empress Dowager has intervened to mediate, how could I possibly refuse her request?"

Shi Yi glanced at his daughter's cheek, which was starting to go down in swelling. "It's nothing serious. Let's just consider it an unexpected encounter!"

"That's easy for you to say!"

Shi Lian'er retorted angrily, "If I marry into the Lü family, do you think that beast Lü Si will let me go?"

"He dares!"

Shi Yi's face darkened. "Do you think the Shi family members will be bullied like this? Alright, alright! Let's leave it at that for now! I have some things to think about, so don't bother me!"

As he spoke, Shi Yi closed his eyes again, ignoring his daughter's resentful gaze.

To be honest, he really didn't want to marry into the Lü family.

But he dared not offend the Empress Dowager!

If they angered the Empress Dowager, it would be fine if the Shi family were suppressed, but if they accidentally brought up that incident from back then, the Shi family would be completely finished!

Ugh……

A single thought can make all the difference!
