After a long while, Madam Ruan fell to the ground with a thud. Her legs went weak, and her eyes lost focus. Her mouth trembled slightly, but her throat could not make any sound.
Tears streamed down Daya’s face. She squatted down to help her up and comforted her as if she was comforting herself. “Mother, it’s okay. There must be a mistake. It can’t be.”
Lu Erbai remained silent for a long time. His hand on the table tightened until it bled.
The old lady wiped her tears. “I’ve thought about it just now. We’ve only heard about this. Let’s go back to the village and ask Scholar Tang what exactly happened. Those people who were exiled, and, and for what reason?”
She couldn’t continue. Whenever the old lady mentioned the word exile, her mind would automatically think of terrible things.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Erbai shook his head. He took a deep breath and finally let go of her hand. “No, we don’t have to ask them. Let’s go find Lord Xiang. Lord Xiang was the county magistrate. Exile was such a serious matter, so he must know a lot. Moreover, he had also found two female escorts for Yu. If anything happens to Yu, the female bodyguard will come back and tell Lord Xiang.”
Madame Ruan seemed to have found hope. Her voice was hoarse and anxious as she said, “Yes, Yu has a female bodyguard with her. She didn’t go out alone. How could she be exiled for no reason?”
Yes, yes, yes. Everyone reacted. They had to look for Lord Xiang for this matter. Only Lord Xiang could help them.
The old lady stood up and was about to go to the county office.
Lu Erbai was worried about her physical condition and didn’t want her to go at first. However, he felt that instead of waiting here and letting her imagination run wild, it would be better to ask her about it.
In the end, they still left Madam Liang at home to look after the child. The rest of the people were not willing to wait at home for news and all went to the county office.
Before Shu Yu left, she gave the old lady a token so that if she encountered any trouble, she could directly look for Xiang Weinan.
No one expected that they would use it so quickly.
There were many of them, and it was not easy for this matter to spread, so the Lu family went straight to the back door of the county office.
When the guard at the back door reported to Xiang Weinan, the latter was still confused.
What happened to the Lu family? Why would they come looking for them at this juncture?
He packed up the files and said to Hu Li, “Bring them in.”
The Lu family followed Hu Li into the hall and looked up at Xiang Weinan. They smiled and were about to ask when they saw the old lady leading the group of five or six kneeling on the ground.
Xiang Wei Nan frowned. “What are you doing?” Kneeling the moment they arrived, it seemed like they had encountered quite a bit of trouble.
Lu Erbai secretly took a deep breath, raised his head, and said, “My Lord, this humble servant wants to ask you something.”
“What is it? You ask.”
Lu Erbai turned his head to look at the people in the hall and raised his eyebrows at Xiang Weinan. So this was something that couldn’t be heard?
He waved his hand, telling Hu Li to stay while the others left.
Only a few of them were left in the huge hall. He said to Lu Erbai, “Alright, get up. Let’s talk.”
“Lord, I want to ask if something happened to Yu?”
Xiang Weinan frowned. “Why would something happen to her? She’s only been away for a few days. What are you worried about?”
“Then why…She, she will be exiled to the southwest.”
