Crisis resolved

After leaving the palace, Lu Yaoyao and Wen Songtao parted ways.

She had just returned to the house when Li De came again.

He still held the imperial edict in his hand.

She was awarded the title of Lord of Wanfu Township. Although the title level is not high, she is still considered a noble, right?

It is necessary to make an edict known to the world.

When Li De finished reading, Lu Yaoyao thanked him and took over the imperial edict. Qiu Yu Qiu Shuang, Lu Kang and others were still in a dazed state.

I don’t understand what is going on?

Aren’t the front legs of the Lu family still accused of treason?

Why is Lu Yaoyao suddenly granted the title of Xiangjun now?

The daughter of a merchant family, suddenly became a noble, which already attracted people's attention.

Not to mention that he was granted the title despite being suspected of treason, which is simply unbelievable.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li."

Lu Yaoyao was also very sensible. After receiving the imperial edict, he also presented a purse.

Although this is my first time coming to this world to receive an order, I have watched a lot of TV dramas and online literature in my previous life, so I can still learn from them.

"You are so polite, Lord Xiang. It is an honor for the Zajia family to be able to come and deliver the decree for the God-given man whom Your Majesty personally praised."

"Eunuch Li, please stop teasing me."

"I am just an ordinary person, so how dare God give me the title of God."

The two laughed and talked for a few words before Eunuch Li said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, Lu Kang came back to his senses.

"Yao Yao, what's going on? Why are you suddenly granted the title of Lord of the Countryside? Does this mean that the Lu family is fine?"

"And why did you suddenly enter the palace?"

Lu Kang asked several questions in one breath.

"Yes, Miss, what is going on here? Please tell us quickly?"

Qiu Yu is also impatient.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the house first, okay?"

"I didn't even take a sip of tea when I entered the palace. I was so thirsty."

A group of people surrounded Lu Yaoyao into the living room, and Qiu Yu hurriedly poured her tea.

When she finished drinking, she turned her head and saw several pairs of eyes staring at her.

"First of all, let me tell you why I entered the palace."

She briefly talked about what she had donated.

"Because of his meritorious service, he was granted the title of Lord of the Township."

"What about the Lu family? Your Majesty, have you asked?"

Lu Kang was still worried about the situation of the Lu family. Treason was a serious crime, and if someone failed to do so, the whole family would be executed.

"Speaking of which, I also asked for grace for the Lu family."

Hearing this, Lu Kang immediately became excited and jumped up and down with excitement.

"How do you say the Lu family is fine?"

"Second uncle, please don't be impatient. Let me speak slowly."

"Yes, yes, you say, you say."

"Although I have sought grace for the Lu family, I still need the Lu family to be strong enough."

"Second uncle, there are no outsiders here. Please tell me the truth. Do our Lu family have any unclear relationship with Beichu?"

Lu Kang almost didn't think about it and just shook his head.

"It's impossible. I know the situation of the Lu family best. Your grandfather retired a few years ago."

"Your uncle and I are managing all the Lu family's businesses. There is absolutely no way it has anything to do with Bei Chu."

Seeing that he was speaking decisively, Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded.

"That's good."

Then she went on to talk about grace.

"Second uncle, even though His Majesty promised at the time that he would agree to anything as long as I asked for it."

"But I think that if I directly ask His Majesty to let the Lu family go, wouldn't that mean that I am admitting to the crime of treason? That's why I chose to investigate fairly first. You won't blame me, right?"

"Of course not. It would be great to be able to do this."

Lu Kang is not an unreasonable person. Although he hopes that the Lu family will be fine, Lu Yaoyao's considerations are not unreasonable.

If you ask for help, it is tantamount to confessing your guilt. Even if Your Majesty does not pursue the case, the name of treason will follow the Lu family forever. For the Lu family, this is not much better than having the entire family beheaded.

Even the descendants of the Lu family in the future will be unable to hold their heads high because of this incident.

If you can seek justice, you will have the opportunity to prove your innocence. Compared with the previous passivity, this is already very good.

"It's just that I'm worried that Gao Yanming will interfere with it, if so"

"Second uncle, you can rest assured that a fair investigation is inevitable and not a grace given by His Majesty."

"The grace he gave was that if it was finally found out that the Lu family was indeed involved with Beichu, he would also pardon the Lu family from the death penalty, but in this way the Lu family would be accused of treason."

Hearing this, Lu Kang immediately laughed.

"Those who purify themselves will purify themselves. You have done a great job."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Lu Yaoyao.

"Yao Yao, my second uncle is here to thank you on behalf of the Lu family."

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao quickly dodged and helped him.

"Second uncle, what are you doing?"

"I am also a member of the Lu family, and these are all things I should do. Are you trying to deny my identity as a Lu family?"

When she said this, Lu Kang also realized that his actions just now were somewhat appropriate.

"No, how could my second uncle deny your identity?"

"It's just that you helped the Lu family so much this time. I don't know how to express my gratitude for a moment."

"These are what I should do. Besides, if it weren't for me, Gao Yanming wouldn't have targeted the Lu family. After all, it was me who put the Lu family into such a crisis."

"Don't talk nonsense. How can I blame you for this?"

"If you want to blame it, blame that shameless guy Xu Zhao."

If this bastard thing hadn't been put under Gao Yanming's name, nothing would have happened later.

"Miss, my second uncle, your family should stop thanking you all the time."

"Now the Lu family's affairs have taken a turn for the best, and the young lady has also been granted the title of Country Lord. This is a great event, and I think it is necessary to celebrate."

Hearing this, Lu Kang nodded hurriedly.

However, Lu Yaoyao shook his head and said, "Don't rush to celebrate beforehand. It won't be too late to wait until the Lu family is completely fine."

"It's better for us to keep a low profile at this time so as not to irritate some people."

"And the grace His Majesty gave me is not suitable for public disclosure."

"We still have to wait for some people to continue to act, so that we can have a chance to catch his tail, and then we can counterattack."

When something happened to the Lu family this time, the first thing she had to do was to save the Lu family. Now that she had succeeded, the next step was to find a way to fight back.

"Yes, yes, this time we can't just let it go."

When it comes to certain people, Lu Kang hates them with itch.

The few of them chatted for a while, and Lu Kang's tense nerves finally relaxed. Lunch was no longer needed, but his stomach was growling with hunger.

"Second uncle, go get something to eat first. I still have some things to deal with."

"Okay, then you should also pay more attention to rest."

After Lu Kang left, Lu Yaoyao immediately asked Qiu Shuang to go to Prince Jin's Mansion and make an appointment with His Highness Prince Jin at Baizhen Tower.

Today, she sacrificed both sweet potatoes and potatoes for the Lu family.

From now on, these things will be known as food to everyone in the world, which will have some impact on her cooperation with King Jin.

She needs to compensate King Jin well, and also thank him for not forgetting to report to her this time when the Lu family was facing such a crisis.

In comparison, the eldest prince's approach was really unsightly.
