After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 138 Young Assassin

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said, "It's the eldest lady of the Lou family, Lu Nian."

The thing I was most worried about happened.

Yuan Qing muttered as he stepped back and sat back in his chair.

Mu Xiaoxiao added: "Although Young Master Lou brought her back in time, I went to the Lou Mansion that night to check on her. Although I didn't find any obvious cause of the illness, I still felt something was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"She is too calm, which is a little different from her usual self. This is what worries me the most. If she could just cry her heart out, it would be a release of emotion. But if she keeps the pain in her heart like this, it will definitely explode over time, and then even the most expensive medicine will not be able to cure her illness."

Yuan Qing understood this principle.

Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. The sisters depend on each other for survival. Lu Pan’s death has become a deep scar in her heart, which may be difficult to heal.

The only solution now is to let her stay away from the sad place and go somewhere far away to relax.

"What are my uncle and his family planning?" Yuan Qing asked. "The best way right now is to cut off the connection between Madam Lu and Lu Nian and prevent them from meeting again. Otherwise, Lu Nian's worries will only get worse."

"The elder master and his friends have also thought of this," Mu Xiaoxiao said. "Young Master Lou has already had the idea of traveling to the north. Taking this opportunity, he wants to take his wife all the way north, both to hone himself and to change his living environment."

"What about the child?"

My cousin’s child is still young and certainly cannot withstand a long journey. If Lu Nian had not experienced that incident, it would be fine to take the child with him on the journey. But now that this has happened, he can no longer take the child with him.

"The child will be raised in the Lou family for the time being. When Young Master Lou is settled, I will send a letter back and ask him to raise the child with me."

Yuan Qing felt relieved.

This arrangement is the best.

My uncle made this arrangement firstly to train my eldest cousin and secondly to expand the Lou family's market in the north.

The Lou family, from their ancestors to my uncles and their generation, have basically grown up in hardships. They have suffered for survival, so they always have more vision and foresight than ordinary people.

But since the next generation, the Lou family's business has expanded, and the children have no worries about food and clothing. Although they are children of merchants, they are not lacking in poetry, books, rituals and music.

It can be said that apart from their merchant backgrounds, they are no different from other children from aristocratic families, and some are even better than those people.

But these are far from enough. One's background alone can restrict a person.

Emperor Yuanheng ordered that merchants were not allowed to read, wear silk and satin, be extravagant, or enjoy all the preferential treatments enjoyed by the gentry.

If the Lou family wants to move up a level, they must climb up the Internet and rely on their own abilities to enter the class of the gentry.

But would those people let the Lou family go?

This resulted in the Lou family finding it increasingly difficult to make progress.

They were happy to see Lou Jing marry a commoner's daughter.

The dandy boy hooked up with Lou Fan and spent his days in debauchery, which was also part of the plan of those nobles.

And Lou Shan is naturally dull, so he is not a concern.

All the descendants of the Lou family are included in their plans. If the Lou family wants to climb up, it will be as easy as ascending to heaven.

Fang Yuemei is staying in another inn, and Lu Zhao will help her get rid of the evil spirit after some time.

Lu Zhao led Yuan Qing into a secret room and asked her to meet someone.

Yuan Qing looked at the young boy standing awkwardly in the corner and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Lu Zhao called the young man over and asked him to face Yuan Qing.

The young man moved over slowly, then looked up reluctantly.

Yuan Qing thought for a long time before he found this familiar face in his memory.

"Isn't he the pervert we caught at the inn?"

"I'm not a pervert!" The boy clenched his fist angrily, "You are the perverts!"

Yuan Qing pretended to be afraid and hid back, "Oh my, how dare the assassin be so arrogant!"

The boy gritted his teeth, "You!"

Lu Zhao knocked his fingers on the table, "Come here."
