"Xuan, could it be that...."
Lu Jiahe heard Lu Xuan making decisions for him, and inevitably felt conflicted.
Because Xuan had sacrificed too many favors for this useless old man.
He had just returned not long ago and now had to trouble the County Magistrate, Ye Qingshan, again.
Although he was a father without much use, he couldn’t let his son worry for him endlessly.
This was one of the reasons why Lu Jiahe was reluctant to speak.
He knew he didn’t have the face to influence the Lord County Magistrate of the governnt office.
If he wanted to plead for Lu Yunfei, it would only inadvertently trouble his son.
However, Lu Jiayong beside him acted differently from Lu Jiahe.
The expression of deep sorrow Lu Jiayong previously had instantly vanished, replaced by a look of ecstatic joy.
With the guarantee from his nephew, Lu Xuan, it ant everything was secured.
As long as there were descendants, he was not the Lu family’s sinner, nor had he ended the family line!
As for Lu Xuan’s last statent and the punishnt of severing ties with them, Lu Jiayong didn’t care anymore.
Anyway, as long as there was Lu Jiahe, he didn’t believe Lu Jiahe would have the heart to really cut ties with him.
"Thank you."
Seeing his goal achieved, Lu Jiayong signaled his wife and daughter kneeling on the ground, intending to leave quickly.
His unfilial son had just married a proper wife, but it was Lu Yunfei who had been fooling around daily, resulting in not having any offspring.
Now finally useful, he thought it was ti to pay more attention to this daughter-in-law.
They had wronged her, and when she was pregnant with Yunfei’s child, she would be confird as the next matron of the house.
"Xiaoxuan, when will you speak to the Lord County Magistrate, so we can settle this quickly and avoid any accidents."
Before leaving, Lu Jiayong shalessly inquired again.
"You can go now."
?????
Lu Jiayong’s body stiffened, not understanding what Lu Xuan ant by this.
Go now?
Really? When did you notify the Lord County Magistrate? We didn’t see you leave.
Lu Xuan didn’t say much, ignored Lu Jiayong, and stepped toward his father’s position.
Lu Jiahe had no choice but to laugh awkwardly, hide his embarrassnt, and hastily left with his family.
However, he didn’t know that Lu Xuan had already sent out a wisp of divine thought earlier, notifying Ye Qingshan!
Qingyun County Governnt!
At this ti, within the council chamber, there were three people discussing.
The three were the County Magistrate, Ye Qingshan, the registrar, Liang Shanhai, and the Chief Constable, Chen Shi, discussing governnt matters.
This particular matter was the recent murder case.
Ye Qingshan looked at Liang Shanhai seated beside him, speaking calmly.
"Liang, did your brother-in-law ntion anything about this?"
Liang Shanhai’s face turned gloomy upon hearing this, as if recalling sothing unpleasant.
"? Ah!"
"Ye, rest assured, my brother-in-law’s character is well-known."
"He would definitely not plead for that little beast."
"I just worry that the trouble caused by that little beast may sully my brother-in-law’s reputation."
Upon ntioning Lu Yunfei, Liang Shanhai’s face darkened, and his emotions turned extrely irritable.
The Lu Family’s tradition was always benevolence, saving the dying and helping the wounded; how could such a ruthless little beast erge from it?
Just as Ye Qingshan was about to say sothing else, the door was suddenly pushed open by an invisible hand.
As a breeze brushed across Ye Qingshan and the others’ faces, a wisp of purple aura rose and fell in the air.
"Huh?"
"What is this thing?"
As the group beca cautious, a voice suddenly echoed in the room!
"Mr. Ye, it’s !"
At the sudden voice, Ye Qingshan and the others were shocked.
They were, of course, very familiar with this voice.
Lu Xuan!
In the first cell of the county jail was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, his head weighed down by heavy shackles.
Despite being bound by the heavy shackles, the young man bore a sinister expression and cursed relentlessly.
"You filthy officials, let go! My father won’t spare you all."
"My father is Lu Jiahe’s cousin; you damned curs, I’ll have you die!"
"It’s just two lowly maids; I have plenty of money, release now!"
The two governnt officials guarding the cell ignored the young man’s scornful curses.
"Ah, this little beast indeed has so clout!"
"Despite killing two people, he hasn’t been sentenced to death by the Lord County Magistrate!"
"Ah, ah, ah, be cautious with your words, Gong."
"These matters aren’t for us to discuss."
"Besides, it’s not sothing worth making a fuss over."
"I’ve seen plenty of such things; even worse happened under the previous County Magistrate."
"Enough, enough, let’s drop it!"
One of the officials suddenly realized he had spoken too much and quickly closed his mouth.
"Inside is the cell holding Lu Yunfei; you all can go in."
"Rember, don’t play tricks, and for the duration of one month, I’ll be in charge of you."
