My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 143 Due to the Divine Status
Thinking of his youngest son's health, Lu Qing once again thanked his ancestors from head to toe in his heart, "Your health is thanks to the medicine bestowed by our ancestors. You must not forget this kindness."

"Father, rest assured, I will always remember the life-saving grace of our ancestors."

As Lu Xingyan spoke, he reached out to help Lu Qing.

Gu Xingzhao watched as the system panel showed another increase in offerings. He followed behind the others, listening intently, knowing that the old man was about to begin training Lu Xingyan.

Lu Qing said earnestly, "Your eldest brother is dull and indecisive, and your second brother only knows how to eat. Fortunately, you are smart."

Lu Xingyan did not respond to the old man's words.

Gu Xingzhao covered his mouth, almost bursting out laughing. Three sons, how could this old man belittle two and praise one?

Lu Qing added, "I originally intended to hand the Lu family over to Xing Yao, but who knew that this child's temperament would become increasingly unstable, which really worries me."

Gu Xingzhao silently lit an incense stick for Lu Xingyao, mourning the loss of his inheritance rights.

Lu Xingyan then spoke up, saying a fair word for his nephew, "Although Xingyao's temperament is not as steady as others, he is always reliable in his work. Among his peers, he is already outstanding."

Lu Qing coughed lightly, ignoring his youngest son's words, "But I will only feel at ease if I hand over the Lu family to you."

Lu Xingyan didn't say anything more.

Lu Qing sighed, "Xingyao is a good prospect, but he is indeed a bit impetuous. You should take him under your wing and teach him more."

"I know you've never liked getting close to others since you were little, but you should still try to get to know more people in the future. Like Liu Xiangbai, he's a capable man, you should get to know him better."

I can still live for a few more years, but I worry that one day my old bones will give way and the Lu family will fall apart.

Whether it's the youngest son or the grandson, they all need to gain more experience in the end.

"Ah - sneeze!"

Lu Xingyao, who was in the distance, rubbed his nose and wondered to himself: Why am I sneezing so much today?

Only when the father and son brought Lu Youtang back safely could the Lu family finally relax.

Before Madam Xu could say anything, Lu Yang, the father, saw the injury on his daughter's head and immediately hugged her, crying, "My dear daughter, it's all my fault. I didn't watch you properly, and that heartless bastard tied you up."

"If anything happens to you, I don't care who that person is, I'll fight them to the death!"

His howls grew louder and louder with each screech.

Everyone turned to look at them, and couldn't help but sigh that the second master of the Lu family was indeed as rumored: a lover of food, a devoted husband, and a doting father.

Look, a big, fat man is crying like this because his daughter is injured, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Xu, standing to the side: "."

She silently took out a handkerchief from her bosom and stuffed it into her husband's hand, saying, "Hurry up and wipe yourself, don't embarrass yourself."

What kind of behavior is it for a grown man to cry like this in front of so many people?

Lu Yang was still crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, but he held back his sobs, afraid that his wife would find him disgusting.

At this moment, Lu Zhou told Lu Qing about Du Hangwu bringing someone over and asked Lu Qing to take charge and go over to question him.

Seeing that his sister was alright, Lu Xingyao held the bottle of Maotai he had stolen while no one was looking, and quietly poured it into the thermos given to him by his ancestor and hid it, leaving an empty bottle behind.

His furtive, dog-like figure, seen by Gu Xingzhao, was incredibly alluring. Looking at this scene, Gu Xingzhao immediately recalled Lu Qing's words and glanced at Lu Xingyan.

Lu Xingyan stood there, tall and jade-like, his expression neither sad nor happy, but his eyes seemed to see through everything, giving him an air of complete control.

It seems that what Lu Qing said is true. At least among these people, Lu Xingyan is indeed the only one who seems reliable.

It's truly remarkable that the old man has managed all these years on his own.

At this moment, Lu Qing looked at the empty bottle of Maotai and felt a sense of emptiness. These brats actually managed to finish such a big bottle of wine while he was away!
What kind of behavior is this?! What kind of behavior is this?!

Gu Xingzhao, who knew exactly what he was thinking: "."

Because Mao Tai hadn't left a single bite, Lu Qing was unhappy. He led two men, leaning on his cane, and went to see the person Du Hangwu had brought.

"Lord Du, may I ask what crime this man has committed that has anything to do with my Lu family?"

Du Hangwu dared not hide anything and told him everything, "This person sent a message to Prince Su, which led to Miss Lu being kidnapped. Elder Lu, I am now handing him over to your Lu family for disposal."

Lu Qing snorted and struck the man who was bound and gagged with his cane. "So it was you who harmed my granddaughter!"

This blow was quite forceful, causing the junior official to whimper twice in pain, his pleading eyes turning to Du Hangwu for help.

Gu Xingzhao secretly recorded this rare moment of grandeur from the old man with his phone. Sure enough, he was so concerned about his granddaughter that he brought out the aura of a Grand Secretary.

At this moment, Lu Qing looked at the person on the ground, feeling indignant. It was this person who caused his granddaughter to be kidnapped, forcing him to go to Ji County. If he hadn't gone there, the fine immortal wine Maotai wouldn't have been empty, leaving him with not a single drop!
Gu Xingzhao: "." What a terrible thing to do.

She suddenly began to think that perhaps the reason why Lu Xingyan was the only reliable person among all these people was because he was sickly and rarely received any instruction from his old father.

Lu Qing coldly said to Du Hangwu, "Those who leak information are all cowards. Keeping such scoundrels around may cause trouble in the future."

Du Hangwu chimed in, "Old Lu is right."

Lu Qing then said, "I am now a criminal. Since this person is Lord Du's subordinate, please let Lord Du deal with him as he sees fit. I will not interfere."

"Waaaaah!" The bound official struggled desperately.

Their words instantly reminded him of Li Si's fate, making him tremble with fear and tears welling up in his eyes.

He twisted his body desperately, struggling to pull out what was in his arms, and looked at Du Hangwu pleadingly, begging for his life.

Du Hangwu sneered, not even noticing the jade bracelet and gold bangle that had fallen to the ground.

Gu Xingzhao's eyes lit up: "!!!" This is good stuff!
Influenced by Xu Shisan, she can now tell the names of these things and which styles are more valuable and collectible.

She swallowed hard. "Lu Qing, how did these things fall out of this person's arms?"

Lu Qingzhen took it as an inquiry from his ancestor: "Ancestor, this person informed Prince Su of the news, and this is probably the benefit he received."

Gu Xingzhao couldn't resist the urge, "So that's how it is. These things look precious and quite beautiful."

Lu Qing was still preoccupied with the bottle of Maotai tea, and had no time to ponder the meaning behind his ancestor's words: "Indeed precious, it must belong to Prince Su."

Lu Xingyan, however, listened to his ancestor's words and his gaze fell on the object on the ground. He thought that if it weren't for his divine status, he would have already taken the object away.

It seems that our ancestors did indeed have a fondness for these precious items.

At this moment, Gu Xingzhao was almost frantic with worry, but he couldn't bring himself to ask for the stolen goods because of his image: Please, please, quickly dispose of them and give them to me!!!
