"You are a young lady from the Lu family, right? How about borrowing some money from your mother?" Mrs. Yu looked anxious.
When Yushi mentioned this, An Yu couldn't really ignore her.
"Xiao Yun'er, I'll take you back first." After An Yu finished speaking, he said to Yushi: "After I send Xiao Yun'er off, I will go home with you. Tell me slowly what happened."
At this time, An Yu was no longer the little girl who would only be bullied by the Yu family and hide or cry secretly. Her eyes were firm and confident, and she also had the aura of Xia Kun.
Mrs. Yu wanted to ask for help from others, so she didn't dare to be arrogant to her like before and listened to her honestly.
Lu Zhiyun pulled An Yu's sleeve: "Aunt An, do you really go with her? What if she bullies you again?"
"No." An Yu smiled lightly.
She won't let anyone bully her anymore, not even her mother.
Yu Shi also discovered the changes in An Yu.
When she married An Yu to Xia Kun, she really didn't consider whether it would be bad to marry her daughter to a servant. She only knew that the Lu family was rich, and An Yu might be able to help if she married him.
However, since An Yu got married, An Yiheng has not allowed the Yu family to find her. If she asked to find An Yu, An Yiheng would take her away from Hubei City. The further away from here, the better. The further away from An Yu, the better.
The further away the better.
Yushi was frightened, so she became honest for a while.
Mu Siyu prepared new snacks and waited for An Yu and Lu Zhiyun to come back to taste them.
"Mom..." Lu Zhiyun ran towards Mu Siyu like a cheerful little butterfly.
Mu Siyu wiped her hands and knelt down to catch her.
"How did you study today?"
"I learned a new technique today." Lu Zhiyun smiled sweetly, "Master said I learned it very well."
"That's good." Mu Siyu looked behind her. "Where's An Yu?"
"Mom, Aunt An left with her mother." Lu Zhiyun explained the situation just now. "I looked at her and was about to cry. There must be something really wrong. But can Aunt An solve it?"
"I'll have your Uncle Xia come back and have him take a look." Mu Siyu stood up and said, "I made new pastries today. You go and taste them. I'll be right back."
Xia Kun recently followed Lu Yi to help him handle some things.
Lu Zhiqian is indeed more flexible, smarter, and smoother, but Xia Kun's ability is unmatched by others. Even Lu Yi can't see how much this person is capable of.
After Xia Kun learned the news, he immediately rushed to Yu's place.
It was already dark, and the light of fireflies and candles came from Yu's narrow little house.
Xia Kun hesitated and knocked on the door.
It was An Yu who opened the door.
When she saw Xia Kun, she said shyly: "Why are you here?"
Xia Kun said: "Madam said you have returned to your parents' home, so I came here specially to pick you up."
"Xia Kun is here." Yu's voice came from inside. "Come in and sit down!"
An Yu looked up at Xia Kun.
"Mom is in some trouble."
"Do you need my help?" Xia Kun asked.
"Well, I'm afraid I can't handle it alone." An Yu looked inside. "There is some trouble."
Xia Kun nodded and followed An Yu in.
Mrs. Yu personally brought the tea.
"It's not a good tea, don't dislike it."
Xia Kun did not embarrass the Yu family and went straight to the point: "What kind of trouble is it?"
"I..." Mrs. Yu hesitated, not daring to speak.
"If you don't tell us, we will go back." Xia Kun said indifferently.
"I said." Mrs. Yu had no other choice but to tell the truth. "Not long ago, I met a person who helped me and was very polite. He claimed that his family was in business, because on the way
I met a bandit and all the goods were gone. He said that he was very good at doing business, and if you do business with him, you will definitely be very rich. He asked me to get some money and do business with him."
"Did you give it?" An Yu asked.
Mrs. Yu nodded.
"How much silver do you have in your hand? You just asked me to give you five hundred taels when you asked me to give you five hundred taels. You can't have five hundred taels, right?"
Mrs. Yu said with a mournful face: "I have one hundred taels of silver in my hand. It was all earned by your brother and he asked me to keep it. But he said that this amount of money is too small. He will do a big business with another five hundred taels."
"Who did you borrow five hundred taels from?" Xia Kun asked.
"Brother Cheng from the gambling shop."
"Has the signature been deposited?"
"yes."
"Can't find that person?" Xia Kun asked again.
Yu's face turned pale and she didn't dare to speak.
"Mom, why are you so confused? You also believe what the person who appeared out of thin air said. Not only did you believe that he returned such a large sum of money, but you also borrowed money from loan sharks when you had no money."
"You must help me. I will definitely not be stupid in the future." Mrs. Yu was worried that Xia Kun would not help her, and she was about to cry.
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Xia Kun stood up, "If we have nothing else to do, let's go first."
Yushi looked at Xia Kun nervously: "Thank you... thank you!"
After leaving Yu's small courtyard, An Yu looked back at Yu's figure.
She hasn't gone in yet.
An Yu had some feelings: "My mother has changed."
"It's not that she has changed, it's that you have changed." Xia Kun said calmly, "As long as you are strong enough, others will naturally respect you. A weak person may make people sympathize with you, but he will not be respected."
"I'm still not used to it." An Yu's foot slipped.
Xia Kun's eyes were poisoned and he helped her in time.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay." An Yu shook his head, "There are a lot of gravels on this road. It's easy to fall if you don't pay attention."
Xia Kun knelt down and said, "I'll carry you."
"No... no need!" An Yu's cheeks turned red.
Although the two are lying on the same bed, they are only a couple in name only, and they rarely get along intimately.
"I heard that Master Fan is very strict. If you were injured, do you think she would be unhappy?" Xia Kun asked.
"Sorry to trouble you." An Yu lay on Xia Kun's body.
"It's too late now. We have to ask the cook to light a fire to cook when we go back. Why don't we eat something outside before going back?" Xia Kun asked.
"Yeah." An Yu nodded, thinking that he couldn't see, and then said, "Okay!"
Xia Kun was too busy, leaving early and returning late all day long. An Yu had forgotten the last time he was so close to Xia Kun.
The two of them were already estranged from each other, and because they haven't gotten along well for a long time, they are even more estranged now. But...
All the unfamiliarity was completely gone today. The moment Xia Kun appeared, An Yu seemed to have a backbone and his whole person settled down.
"There are always all kinds of troubles at home. I'm sorry, you are already busy, but you still have to help me deal with these things." An Yu said on Xia Kun's shoulder.
"It's not a problem for me. If Brother Cheng from the gambling shop wants to do business here, he has to please the government. I just need to show my identity, and he won't dare to cause trouble for your mother."
"But five hundred taels of silver..."
"I'll find that liar."
If you can't find out, just give Brother Cheng some business. Five hundred taels is nothing. He will just shed tears of gratitude.
