She refused to marry.
Chapter 26 Prosperity Chapter 26
"Lu Huai'an!"
Su Wanwan was initially excited, then frowned, "Why is it you!"
"My benefactor, it's been a long time." Lu Huai'an stepped down from the carriage.
The fighting robbers heard the commotion and immediately froze.
When the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) saw that he had made a mistake, he struck out with his palm, sending the man flying ten meters away.
"Abandon the car and save your lives! Everyone get out of here!" Su Wanwan shouted behind her.
But the people from the escort agency are all trustworthy, so how could they bear to leave?
Su Wanwan was frantic, pulling Lu Huai'an's carriage around, "Hurry up! It's dangerous."
Lu Huai'an folded the fan in his hand and used it to shield her behind him.
"Heroes from all walks of life, could you please show mercy?" He then pulled out a stack of silver notes from his pocket.
"I am just a merchant, trying to make a living, and I'm sure you are the same. This is a gift for you."
The man in black was taken aback at first, then looked at the people behind Lu Huai'an.
The one lying on the ground scrambled to his feet, walked over to Lu Huai'an, spat out a mouthful of blood, grabbed the silver notes, counted them, and shouted, "Let's go!!"
All the men in black left.
Su Wanwan strode up to the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort), "Are you injured?"
The chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) held the knife wound, saying, "It's just internal injury; I can still live."
The deputy head镖师 helped the chief镖师 up and asked, "Miss Su, it's just a pile of sand, why are you paying such a high price! Are you trying to trick us brothers into coming here?"
"Who said it's all sand?" Su Wanwan walked to the first car, revealing a corner of jade.
"It seems we were overthinking things," the deputy head镖师 apologized, and hurriedly applied medicine to his boss.
The head镖师 (chief镖师, a term referring to镖师 who are skilled in martial arts and martial arts) blocked his way, staring intently at Lu Huai'an beside the carriage. "I wonder if this hero has been here for a while, or just arrived?"
Lu Huai'an politely cupped his hands in greeting, "I came to join in the fun, but unexpectedly ran into an old friend. Isn't that right, my benefactor?"
"By the way, what are you doing in Cangzhou?" Su Wanwan asked curiously. She hadn't seen Lu Huai'an for a long time, and he looked even fairer, with bright, captivating eyes.
"Doing some business in Cangzhou, does my benefactor still remember why I fell into misfortune?" Lu Huai'an sensed the镖头's meaning.
He was questioning his own identity.
"The Shen family? What happened?" Su Wanwan asked, puzzled.
"Naturally, I'm here for the Shen family." Lu Huai'an waved his fan. "Chief镖头, I have some excellent ointment for treating internal injuries here. If you don't mind, you can take it."
Lu Huai'an took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan took it and was about to hand it to the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort), "Let's see if it's usable..."
The head镖师 (chief镖师) took the medicine with suspicion, then hesitated to speak.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, the carriage rested briefly before continuing its journey.
Su Wanwan's carriage had its axle cut off, so she had to rest in Lu Huai'an's carriage.
"My benefactor, where did you come from and where are you going?" Lu Huai'an asked, both surprised and delighted.
How could it be her transporting copper ore?
"We're from Huzhou, heading back to the capital." Su Wanwan leaned against the carriage, pondering the group of people she had just met. "And you?"
"I also came from Huzhou, and I'm going to the capital." Lu Huai'an smiled, his eyes sparkling.
"Consider this a debt I owe you." Su Wanwan leaned back. "I watched that person count it; it was almost ten thousand taels."
"That's nothing," Lu Huai'an said, taking a sip of tea.
"I'll return it to you when we get to the capital," Su Wanwan said.
"No need, consider it a gift to our benefactor," Lu Huai'an said.
"A thank-you gift? You have a lot of money?" Su Wanwan's eyes widened. He was a salt merchant, but he couldn't have turned his life around so quickly.
"Not much, just two mountains at home." Lu Huai'an smiled.
"What are those two mountains?" Su Wanwan perked up.
"There's a jade mountain to the west and a salt mountain to the east, and that's all piled up at home..." Lu Huai'an unfolded his folding fan. "In short, compared to my benefactor, there are quite a few."
Su Wanwan was amused by him and leaned forward to examine Lu Huai'an closely. "You look much more energetic than before, and you're even more handsome than before."
Lu Huai'an narrowed his eyes. "My benefactor, you still haven't told me your name?"
"I am Su Tailing's daughter, Su Wanwan. You can call me Wanwan." Su Wanwan smiled.
"Su Tailing? The Su family?" Lu Huai'an paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. "Why did my benefactor save me?"
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. I have a grudge against the Shen family. So, I saved you only so that I could strike back at the Shen family in the future," Su Wanwan said awkwardly.
Lu Huai paused for a moment, digesting what had just been said in his mind, and regained his composure. "Actually, if our benefactor really wants to take revenge on the Shen family, now is the time."
"What opportunity?" Su Wanwan immediately perked up.
"The Shen family's old residence is in Cangzhou, Miss Su, you know that, right?" Lu Huai'an put away his fan.
Su Wanwan shook her head.
"The Su family's old residence is in Cangzhou. As long as we cause trouble at their old residence, that person in the capital will definitely come back." Lu Huai'an leaned back confidently.
"This time, we're sending a big gift to the Shen family."
"You have a plan." Su Wanwan's eyes darted around.
"I have a brilliant plan, Miss Wanwan, don't worry." Lu Huai'an smiled and unfolded his folding fan.
Su Wanwan's cheeks inexplicably flushed when she heard the name "Wanwan" come out of his mouth.
She covered her face, frowning in deep thought.
Could it be because he was complimented by a handsome person?
"Miss Wanwan, please rest here for the night. I will continue on my way."
Lu Huai'an also lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.
He mounted a black horse and rode up to the bodyguards, standing side by side with the chief bodyguard.
"Master, I mean no harm. There's no need for those people to take special care of me."
Lu Huai'an turned his gaze to the person who was watching him closely.
The head镖师 (chief镖师) had a grim face, his left hand on his hip. "I don't know who you are, but those people just now are definitely related to you."
"Chief镖头, your镖局 (escort agency) has a regular escort mission that is... a private job," Lu Huai'an said in a low voice.
"I have plenty of side jobs to do, Young Master Lu, just say what you want to say." The chief镖头's voice was firm.
"Every April, a shipment of goods from Liaocheng is sent north, costing three thousand taels of silver." Lu Huai'an turned to look at the chief镖头 (chief镖头 is a term used in Chinese to refer to a bodyguard/escort).
The head镖师 (chief镖师) frowned. "How did Young Master Lu know?"
"April is almost here, so naturally I'll be entrusting it to you again. However, the escort agency is deserted, and I only found a few servants, so I came here after them." Lu Huai'an smiled.
"Are you Manager Lu?" The chief镖头 slapped his forehead.
"I am indeed the unworthy Manager Lu. I wonder if you have time this year?" Lu Huai'an stared ahead.
"Of course there is." The chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) relaxed slightly. "Manager Lu chased after us late at night; was this shipment in a hurry?"
"No rush. Let's talk about it after the chief镖头 (chief镖头, a person who is very skilled in escorting goods) has finished this trip." Lu Huai'an smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his heart.
This shipment was originally intended to transport stolen copper ore, but unfortunately, they failed to steal any.
The dart could not be moved.
The carriage soon arrived in Cangzhou.
Su Wanwan planned to rest in Cangzhou for a few days.
One reason was to see how Lu Huai'an would retaliate against the Shen family.
Secondly, she was waiting for someone.
A person who can avenge their previous humiliation.
