Chapter 958: Many Troubles
Zhou Shiyue had no idea how anxious the emperor was inside the jade pendant.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because no matter what, a little effort won’t make a difference.
Those who are too eager will never be taken seriously.
His Xiaoer is now worthy of the Qiu family coming out to welcome him in person. This little bit of pomp and circumstance is always necessary.
Moreover, when the second son of the Qiu family was in Shuning City, he didn't think much of Lu Xiaoer, so now he has to leave a deep impression on him.
Apart from General Qiu, the only person in charge of the Qiu family is the second brother Qiu. He doesn't have a deep understanding of this. How is he going to convince General Qiu when the time comes?
"I remember now," Lu Zhaoling leaned close to Zhou Shiyue and whispered, "Didn't Qiu Yunzhen still call you senior brother?"
Zhou Shiyue's face was a little dark.
"You are so young and your memory is so bad. I told you at the beginning that General Qiu is not my master. It's just that when I was young, I joined the army and my father was afraid that I would be bullied by those old soldiers, so he asked General Qiu to take care of me for a while."
His master is the Master of Yinfeng Valley.
However, when he became his disciple, his master was not yet the Valley Master. If he knew that his master would return to be the Valley Master, he might not have become his disciple.
As a member of the royal family, he already had many restrictions, and Zhou Shiyue was very unwilling to be given any other identity.
This is also the reason why he rarely went there after his master returned to Yinfeng Valley to become the valley master.
This was also the reason why he was completely unfamiliar with the other people in Wind Song Valley.
"Qiu Yunzhen was very young at the time, so she had to address me when she met me. She wanted to call me Brother Yue, but I disagreed, so I just called him Senior Brother."
Zhou Shiyue said, "Now that she has been promised to Zhou Ling, you are still jealous? Er, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should be more open-minded. You are a man who can do great things, you can't always be jealous."
"You are still the eldest sister of Xuanmen, so you have to set a good example for Junior Brother Yin and Junior Brother Lu."
Zhou Shiyue acted like the King of Jin and spoke in a very serious manner.
Lu Zhaoling looked at him with her eyes almost popping out.
Zhou Shiyue looked so noble under her stare, not even blushing at all.
"Okay, okay, okay," Lu Zhaoling gave him a thumbs up, "You're awesome."
Master Qiu had already come out with a group of servants to greet them.
Zhou Shiyue saw that he was walking in a hurry with the hem of his robe almost flapping in the wind, and he knew that something big had happened to the Qiu family.
Qiu Laoer looked much more anxious than when he was in Shuning City.
"Your Highness Prince Jin! Miss Lu!"
Only when Mr. Qiu saw them did he finally feel relieved.
To be honest, he was not afraid of being laughed at by others. Before he saw these two people in person, he was still a little worried that the servants had recognized the wrong people, or that someone was bold enough to impersonate them.
"Please come in quickly!"
After Mr. Qiu came out, he gestured and invited them in.
At the same time, he scolded several servants, "What's wrong with you? It's so cold, how can you let the prince and Miss Lu wait outside the door?"
That's really too much!
Who is the King of Jin? Who is Miss Lu? How can we let them stand at the gate?
The servants lowered their heads and dared not talk back.
It is obvious that Prince Jin and his men did not want to go in.
However, the servants of the Qiu family also felt a little puzzled at this moment. It was normal that the Second Master attached great importance to and respected Prince Jin, but why did he always mention Miss Lu and Prince Jin together?
"Your mansion looks quite grand."
Zhou Shiyue said this casually as he led people in.
Mr. Qiu said immediately, "Your Highness, this is because we haven't divided the family yet. We all live together, and if the house is too small, we won't be able to accommodate everyone."
He welcomed the group into the hall.
"However, the land in Subei is quite vast, and even the common people don't live in crowded conditions."
As soon as they entered the hall, Zhou Shiyue and the others felt the warmth.
A maid came over to help Zhou Shiyue take off his cloak, and another walked towards Lu Zhaoling.
But before he reached them, Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling spoke at the same time.
"I will do it myself."
Zhou Shiyue even stretched out his hand and waved it forward, fearing that the maid would walk up to him.
He took off his cloak himself, and Qinglin reached out and took the cloak skillfully.
On Lu Zhaoling's side, Qingyin had also taken over the cloak.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Qiu waved his hand and asked the maid to retreat.
"My Lord, Miss Lu, please take a seat."
Zhou Shiyue had already sat down and patted the hem of his robe.
Lu Zhaoling first looked around the hall, and then sat down slowly.
Only after she sat down did Mr. Qiu ask about Lu Anfan.
"Brother Lu has returned to Shaguan City? To be honest with you, Miss Lu, I have felt extremely regretful these past few days when I thought of Brother Lu. When I was in Shuning, I might have been too sick to think clearly."
"Why did I feel that Brother Lu was short of money? I should have sincerely invited him to come to Subei. Brother Lu is kind and sincere, and has a pure heart, which is what I admire most."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoling smiled and said, "Actually, what Master Qiu thought is not wrong. Lu Anfan is the one who is short of that little bit of silver. If Master Qiu sees him again in the future, it's not a problem to give him some silver."
"what?"
Mr. Qiu almost couldn't react.
But he soon thought of Lu Anfan's shoes with a hole in them, and then when he thought of the situation of the Lu family in Beijing, he understood a little.
Zhou Shiyue glanced into the hall, where there was a young man looking around for a while, as if he had something urgent to do.
"Someone is looking for you outside. Let's go and see what's going on." Zhou Shiyue raised his chin.
Mr. Qiu glanced outside and stood up suddenly. "My Lord, Miss Lu, please forgive me. I will go out and take a look."
"Ah."
Mr. Qiu walked out quickly.
"doing what?"
"Uncle, my grandmother vomited blood!" the young man said quickly with a pale face, "My mother also fainted, and my father really threw a piece of cloth onto the beam and wanted to hang himself..."
Because Prince Jin had come, the servants did not dare to step forward and talk about these bad things. Several servants gathered not far away and rubbed their hands nervously, and sent the fourth young master over to talk.
Mr. Qiu's face changed.
It’s terrible! It’s really terrible!
"Go get someone to tie up your father! And tie up your third uncle as well!"
"Did your grandmother send for a doctor?"
"Let the doctor check on your mother after he finishes checking on your grandmother!"
Mr. Qiu was so angry that he quickly turned around and went into the hall.
When he entered, he saw Prince Jin holding a letter and reading it.
He was startled.
He had so many things to do that he even forgot about the letter Hua Mudan wrote and didn't even put it away.
Now the prince has seen this letter!
After a moment of panic, Mr. Qiu quickly calmed down.
Forget it. I wanted to let them know what happened in the Qiu family, so I can’t hide it.
