Xiang Weinan was stunned. The elderly people now were truly ruthless and cunning. How could they come up with such an idea? He felt even more troubled, rubbing his temples and saying, "What are you thinking? Even if you want to go, you won't be able to enter the city without proper documentation."
"In that case, we won't enter the city. We'll go deep into the mountains and forests, where there are no people. There must be a way," one of the Lu family members replied.
Xiang Weinan sighed, "..." The Lu family members were quite something, considering the idea of venturing into the deep mountains and forests. They seemed serious and determined, as if they were ready to take action as soon as they left the county government office.
Unfortunately, Xiang Weinan couldn't do anything to stop them, especially with the elderly lady. She was old and frail, and if he used force, he might end up causing her harm.
Truly... they were indeed Shu Yu's family.
He regretted agreeing to take care of them. Look at the trouble they had brought upon him.
At this point, the elderly lady seemed to have given up on pressuring him. She stood up, swayed a bit, and turned to leave.
If Xiang Weinan allowed them to leave through the door, something bad would certainly happen.
The situation had reached a point where even if he denied it, the Lu family members wouldn't believe him anymore.
"Enough, I'll tell you," Xiang Weinan said reluctantly.
The Lu family members immediately stopped in their tracks and turned back to face him.
Xiang Weinan pointed to the seats in the hall and said, "Fine, sit down."
Da Niu and Da Ya quickly brought chairs from the sides and placed them in front. The situation was serious, so it was best to keep their voices low. Sitting closer and speaking softly would be enough to be heard.
Xiang Weinan thought to himself, "...they have surely learned bad habits from Shu Yu."
Once everyone was seated, Xiang Weinan frowned, unsure of where to start.
The Lu family members stared at him silently, waiting for him to speak.
After a while, Xiang Weinan began, "Did Shuyu tell you about her life before returning to the Lu family and who her foster parents were?"
The elderly lady replied, "She said her foster parents were ordinary people with a little money."
Xiang Weinan shook his head. "That's not just a little money. Before returning home, Shu Yu was the third Miss of the Shu family, who was the Governor of Dong'an Prefecture."
The elderly lady and the others widened their eyes in astonishment. The third Miss of the Governor's family?
So, her foster parents were actually high-ranking officials?
Xiang Weinan continued, "Her master's story is true, though. It was the head of Dongqing Temple, whom Lu Erbai met. Around a year ago, the head of Dongqing Temple began to have doubts after seeing Lu Erbai and Shu Yu, so he investigated her background and informed Shu Yu."
He didn't mention that Shu Yu had left Dong'an Prefecture because the Shu family had suppressed her. Otherwise, the Lu family members would know that she had a difficult past, and they might be further devastated.
If they suffered more blows, Xiang Weinan was worried that the elderly lady might not be able to bear it. Therefore, he chose to downplay certain aspects.
"As for what happened later, you already know. Lu Shuyu returned to find you and acknowledged her identity
as a Lu family member," Xiang Weinan explained. "However, recently, the Shu family encountered trouble. The Governor, Shu, was found guilty of corruption and bribery, and he was beheaded. The rest of the Shu family was also exiled to the southwest."
"While Lu Shuyu is not a blood relative of the Lu family, she lived with the Shu family for fourteen years. Legally, she was considered their daughter, even if she was an adopted one. Thus, she was on the list of those to be exiled."
