Rebirth of marriage

When Xie Jiu came out of the house, the body in the courtyard had disappeared. Several people were carrying water to wash the yard. Lu Hongyuan and his three brothers were waiting in the main hall. Lu Zhuo was nowhere to be seen. Xie Jiu guessed that he had taken someone to dispose of the body.

Sure enough, Lu Hongyuan was heard saying, "My son took someone to take the body to the mountains."

The corner of Xie Jiu's mouth curled up slightly. Lu Zhuo's torture methods in his previous life were brutal. In addition to his experience of exterminating a family, he was probably inseparable from his deep-rooted character.

At the beginning of the interrogation, she caught a glimpse of Lu Zhuo standing beside her throughout the entire interrogation and helping her pass the ax for chopping bones.

"Girl, let's have a bowl of hot noodles." Mother Lu came in with a tray in her hand. Her face was still pale from fright. She looked at Xie Jiu with complicated eyes, seeming to be distressed and fearful. She tried her best to smile and looked at Xie Jiu. .

Xie Jiu had gone through a lot of fighting and needed to replenish his energy. He also wanted to give the Lu family a buffer time, so he agreed to Xie's mother's kindness, "Thank you."

"We have cooked a lot, let's go and eat some." Mother Lu was afraid that a group of people would feel uncomfortable watching her eat, so she took Lu Hongyuan and others out very considerately.

The noodles were plain and not fishy at all. She was grateful for the wine, but if Mother Lu had brought a bowl of meat at this moment, she would have to grit her teeth and eat it.

Her hands were still shaking when she held the chopsticks, so she ate very slowly. Fortunately, her back was to the door, so no one could see her, and she didn't force herself.

After finishing the bowl of noodles, Xie Jiu went to the place where the backpack was hidden, took the basket and returned to the Lu family.

The three couples from the Lu family entered the main hall again. They bowed deeply to Xie Jiu, "Young lady, you are so kind to me. My brothers and I don't know how to repay you. Please ask me if you have anything to say in the future."

"I want you to be of use to me from now on." Xie Jiu spoke softly, but with an undoubted power.

Her words shocked the Lu family.

They had just discussed that if they wanted money to thank them for the wine, they would take out all the money they had at home. If it was not enough, they would offer three more things to thank them for the wine. Even if they couldn't do it, they would sacrifice their face and ask for old connections. help.

At that time, the Lu family declined the emperor's request to stay, but the emperor did not punish them. He said that being exiled was more like voluntarily resigning and retiring. The Lu family was still free, and they brought some wealth with them when they came. They lived a comfortable and prosperous life, so they never had The thought of selling oneself into slavery.

I was in a dilemma for a while.

Xie Jiu knew the situation of the Lu family and could guess their thoughts, so he continued, "What I mean is that you will regard me as your master from now on.

There is no need to sign a deed of betrayal, and I will not force you to do things that violate laws and morality, nor will I even interfere with your freedom, but I want your loyalty. "

"Miss, can you explain what exactly you want us to do?" Lu Hongyuan asked, his heart not relieved by Xie Jiu's words.

Previously, he thought that Xie Jiu's rescue was a sign of chivalry on the part of a young man. When he saw her tearing apart human bones without changing her expression, he was greatly shocked and at the same time understood that the woman in front of him was anything but an ordinary person and should not be looked down upon.

It wasn't until Xie Jiu made this request that he looked at her again. She was the one who forced the assassin's confession. When she knew the identity of the Lu family and the emperor might reuse the Lu family, she still wanted the Lu family to treat her as the head.

What she planned was anything but ordinary. As the head of the family, Lu Hongyuan had to be cautious.

Xie Jiu smiled, "What I want the Lu family to do is not difficult for the Lu family."

After saying that, she took out the coal from the basket. The second child, Lu Hongwen, had sharp eyes and said hurriedly, "This is peat. Girl, be careful. This thing is poisonous."

As if he was afraid that Xie Jiu would not believe him, he added, "Someone in the next village used this instead of charcoal. As a result, the whole family lost their lives. The death was horrific. Girl, please let go quickly and don't let anything happen."

Hearing this, Mother Lu quickly took out the handkerchief and stuffed it into Xie Jiu's hand, "Girl, wipe it quickly."

Xie Jiu knew about the tragic incident and thought of this coal mountain. The reason why the family died was because they inhaled the toxic gas released when coal burned.

She raised her lips lightly, "I have a way to deal with it. As long as I use it in a ventilated place, it will be fine."

He took out a piece of coal cake from his backpack and said, "This is something I have processed. It is not completely dry yet. Once it is dry, it can be used for heating, cooking, etc. It is better than charcoal. What I want you to do now is Buy this coal mountain.

Then I will make coal cakes from the coal in the mountains according to my method, and try to popularize and sell the coal cakes in the pass within a month. "

"That's it?" Lu Hongyuan confirmed.

A smile appeared in Xie Jiu's dark eyes, "That's it for now, but my status is inconvenient. This needs to be done in the name of the Lu family, and quickly."

I heard that before the exile, the eldest and second eldest son of the Lu family entered the court as officials, and only the third son was engaged in business, and he was extremely talented in business. Lu Hongyuan's words made Xie Jiu understand that this matter was not difficult for them.

"Girl, we agreed." Seeing that Lu Hongyuan was still thinking, Mother Lu spoke first.

She rarely made decisions beyond her husband in the past, but she was very grateful for Xie Jiu's life-saving grace. She believed in her own judgment. A person who was willing to risk his life to save them would not have a bad heart, even though she had some intentions.

Xie Jiu nodded. This was another reason why she was here tonight. Mother Lu's mother's family was still an official in Beijing, and they had not given up on Mother Lu, a married daughter.

Back then, Lu Zhuo was able to reach the position of Minister of Justice in a short period of time. In addition to the help of the third prince, he also needed the help of Lu's mother's family.

Conquering the Lu family is equivalent to gaining more connections from Lu's mother's family.

In the future, whether she returns to Beijing for revenge or encounters obstacles in her marriage to Gu Xiao, these connections can serve as her reliance.

"Dad, the girl is the life-saving grace of our family. The child is willing to take the girl as his master." Lu Zhuo stepped in with a few young people. At this time, he still had a youthful sincerity.

"Uncle, we have the same idea as Brother Zhuo." Another young man said, "My grandfather always taught us when he was alive that we need to be clear about grudges and grudges. If we have kindness, we must repay it with a spring of water, and if we have hatred, we will never shrink from it."

The few of them eavesdropped outside the door for a while, but did not feel that the proposal to thank the wine was too much. Seeing that the uncle was still hesitant, they couldn't help but enter the house.

Lu Laoer hurriedly scolded his son, "Yue'er, don't be rude to your uncle..."

Father Lu raised his hand to interrupt his younger brother, and looked at Xie Jiu, "Lu is not a person who refuses to repay his kindness, but after what happened tonight, Lu knows that the stable days of our Lu family are over. For the sake of these children, The Lu family will also have to return to the capital in the future.

Once back in the capital, the master of the Lu family can only be the one on the throne. Lu shamelessly asked the girl for a price. My three brothers are willing to serve the girl as the master. Can we not involve the children? "

Xie Jiu stared at the thoughtful Lu Hongyuan, his red lips parted slightly, "Yes."

She never thought about letting the Lu family embark on a road of eternal destruction for her, but these Xie Jiu had no plans to tell them yet.

If you are too kind, the previous shock will be greatly reduced.

The fate of the Lu family has been changed by her. Although Lu Zhuo's generation does not need to be dominated by her, she can cooperate with him when necessary. There is no way that he can become the third prince's right-hand man in this life. This is not a small thing for Xie Jiu. reward.

Lu Hongyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Miss, can you tell me your name?"

"Xie Jiu, he was exiled here with the Yongning Marquis Mansion." Xie Jiu had no intention of hiding it, and he couldn't.

Several people in the hall immediately understood who Xie Jiu was. Although the Lu family rarely had contact with other prisoners, they were not blind or deaf. They had also heard of the beautiful young man in the Yang family.

The Lu family had just been shocked by Xie Jiu's fierceness and subconsciously ignored her appearance. Only now did they realize what a delicate and delicate face the person in front of them had.

However, it is really difficult to connect the girl with human bones in front of her and the frail and wealthy person in the rumors.

Xie Jiu's frankness made Lu Hongyuan feel more at ease. He and his two brothers handed over the offer, "From now on, my brothers and I will be at your disposal."

"I believe in you, and please keep your promise, otherwise, I will take back the lives I saved tonight." Xie Jiu said slowly, but his voice was filled with bone-chilling chills.

Everyone in the Lu family shuddered inexplicably, thinking of her dismantling the assassin.
