Hu Li forced a bitter smile and nodded. "Yes."
Xiang Weinan felt like he needed to call for a doctor.
Hu Li whispered, "Sir, I think the Lu family is stubborn. We can't fight or scold them, and persuading them won't work either. Why don't we just agree to their request?"
Xiang Weinan glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"But, sir, you don't know that they have already discussed the route and even made arrangements for their future. They have sorted out the shop, fields, employees, and houses. I think even if we disagree, they will secretly leave. We can't possibly keep an eye on them all the time. Among them, only Lu Erbai has traveled far, but he has never been to Dong'an Prefecture. With the old and the young going together, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be severe."
Xiang Weinan gritted his teeth. "Then how should I explain this to Shu Yu?"
Hu Li suggested, "Why not write her a letter? Use sincere words. As long as everyone is safe and miss Lu can reunite with her family, she might actually be happy."
Xiang Weinan sighed. "Why are the Lu family so stubborn, even at their age?"
Hu Li awkwardly laughed and followed Xiang Weinan into the main hall.
The Lu family heard the commotion and turned around.
Xiang Weinan walked up to them and said expressionlessly, "I agree to your request."
The Lu family's faces brightened. "Daren, are you serious?"
"In any case, you should go home and arrange everything else. Come up with a believable excuse for your journey and pack your belongings. I will find a reliable escort agency to accompany you to the southwest."
After speaking, Xiang Weinan turned and left.
The Lu family finally felt at ease and helped each other up, slowly walking toward the door.
It wasn't until they left the county yamen that they wiped off their sweat. They had been genuinely worried about Shu Yu, but facing the county magistrate's bold and threatening behavior, they were equally terrified.
However, their longing to see Shu Yu and the desire to run to the southwest were even stronger.
It was already late in the day, so the elderly lady asked Da Niu to return home first. They had to return the village chief's cart before they could come back the next day.
After Da Niu left, the rest of the family returned to Liufang Lane.
The next day, the Lu family became busy.
They temporarily handed over the shop to Da Niu, terminated the lease on the house, and sent back some of the belongings they couldn't take with them, either to their own home or to the backyard of the shop.
Lu Dasong and Lu Sanzhuo learned about the situation. Although they disagreed, they couldn't defy the elderly lady and had to compromise.
Lu Erbai went to Doctor Xu's clinic and shamelessly asked about last month's earnings. He felt embarrassed, but their journey to the southwest required a lot of money. They wanted to travel faster and catch up with Shu Yu. They planned to give some silver to the escorting officials to take care of her along the way.
So even though they had 2,000 taels in their hands, they still felt it wasn't enough.
Doctor Xu was surprised but didn't ask further questions. Due to a backlog of orders in the first month and a slowdown in the second month, he rounded up the amount and handed Lu Erbai 500 taels.
The Lu family acted swiftly, and within a day, they completed all the tasks that needed to be done.
Xiang Weinan also found a reliable escort agency, which happened to have a female escort. There were two men and one woman who would accompany them to the southwest.
Xiang Weinan wrote a letter himself and had it urgently delivered to Meng Yunzheng, instructing him to give it to Shu Yu.
