Chapter 197: We, Present Gifts to the Lu Family

Upon seeing the situation, the Lu family members became nervous. After all, they were just ordinary civilians. How could they not worry when they saw the involvement of the officials and soldiers? Lu Erbai immediately wanted to step forward, but his legs were not agile, and he was stopped by Shu Yu after taking only two steps. "Dad, let me go and see." Although she said so, Lu Erbai walked forward with a worried expression while being supported by Lu Dasong. The crowd had already automatically made way, and Lü Dong was still lying in the arms of a servant, his face looking quite grim. The leading soldier asked, "What exactly happened?" The servant couldn't control his trembling upon seeing the soldier's inquiry. He didn't know where to start. However, the people around them began to talk one after another, explaining the cause and effect, and someone even pointed at Lu Shuyu, who had already approached them. After listening, the two soldiers frowned and exchanged a glance. Then the leading soldier suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait, all your chatter is giving me a headache, and I can't quite understand it." After he finished speaking, he pointed at the servant and said, "You explain, and let others keep quiet for now." The servant was taken aback. He felt Lü Dong, who was lying on the ground, subtly tugging at his clothes. He took a deep breath and gathered his courage to speak. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the soldier interrupted, "Wait for a moment. I still have something to attend to. I'll listen to you carefully once I finish it." The servant was left hanging, unable to bring up what he wanted to say, and his face turned red from holding his breath. But he couldn't say anything and could only nod reluctantly. Only then did the soldier look up and scan the crowd. He asked, "Is the owner of the Yireng Clothing Store on Ningshui Street, here?" "Yes, I'm here." Lu Erbai had already stepped forward. He pulled Shu Yu back and faced the two soldiers. Shu Yu glanced at him helplessly. Although he could barely stand with crutches, he gave people an unusually tall impression. She didn't say anything in the end, nor did she move forward. She just looked up at the two soldiers. The soldier standing behind took a step forward, took a look at Lu Erbai, and then smiled. "So, you are the owner of the Lu family. Our Master's heard that today is the opening day of the Lu family's shop. We have come to deliver a congratulatory gift on behalf of the our Master. Master's is busy with official affairs since he just arrived in Jiangyuan County, so he asked us to come." "Huh?" Upon hearing this, Lu Erbai, who had already prepared himself for the worst in his mind, was completely stunned. Not only him, but also other members of the Lu family and the onlookers present, wore bewildered expressions. What did they hear? Were the two officials here to deliver gifts to the Lu family??? And the new acting county magistrate, who had just arrived, had a connection to the Lu family? The officials held gift boxes in their hands and, seeing Lu Erbai's dazed expression, couldn't help but extend them forward. "Lu's family? Take it." "Huh? Oh, okay." Lu Erbai suddenly snapped back to reality and reached out to accept the gift box. Unlike the large and heavy gift box previously sent by the Lü family, the box in his hand was quite small and light. However, the contents inside were not to be underestimated. Lu Erbai took a deep breath inwardly. Although he didn't fully understand what was going on, he thought it should be related to Shu Yu. Everyone who came to congratulate them today, except for Doctor Xu, was someone Shu Yu knew. After accepting the gift box, he smiled at the two officials and said, "Thank you for your kindness, gentlemen. You've worked hard. Please come in and have a cup of tea." (End of this chapter)
