In the other courtyard where Lu Jiuzhong lived temporarily, all the servants were busy silently.
The rules here are extremely strict, but Lu Jiuzhong is also an overly particular person.
There was no sound in the huge courtyard, but there were countless people walking in and out, which made people feel a little weird.
"Master, everything is ready."
In the room, even during the day, the doors and windows are covered by thick brocade.
Countless huge luminous pearls made the room feel a little more sinister.
The handsome and handsome Lu Jiuzhong was sitting at the sandalwood table, his expression full of coldness.
"What happened to the people last night?"
The subordinate hurriedly bent down and said respectfully, "I have fed the beasts according to your order. The people were bitten to death and saw themselves turned into skeletons with their own eyes."
"very good."
At this time, he pursed a smile.
He should obviously have a spring-like appearance, but now he looks like the god of death from hell.
"Next time someone dares to make his own decision, this will be his fate."
His long and narrow eyes glanced at everyone present.
Everyone couldn't help but tremble and bowed their heads deeply to show their surrender.
Their lives have no weight at all in the eyes of their master.
"What did he find out before he died?"
He did arrange a hero's rescue last night, but even he could see that the carriage was clearly aimed at her life.
So, he was angry.
Anyone who dares to try to hurt her in front of him should die!
The subordinate shook his head and said cautiously, "Xiao Xiao suspects that he may be controlled by someone. No matter what method Xiao Xiao uses, he says he doesn't know. I think no one can survive those punishments."
Even though he was a cruel official, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart every time he thought of those punishments.
Therefore, he knows best how much truth those things can bring out.
Suddenly, Lu Jiuzhong's face darkened.
After a long time, a bright smile appeared again.
"It doesn't matter. As long as I take her back in the future, I can protect her forever. Go and ask how the palace is being repaired. Tell them to hurry up and make sure not to delay the construction period. Otherwise, after I take her back, there will be no suitable
Give her a place to live."
His voice was soft, like a whisper between lovers.
My subordinates dare not delay, especially when it concerns that young lady, and they dare not show any slightest care.
After shooing away his men, Lu Jiuzhong asked someone to comb his hair.
The face in the mirror is elegant and handsome.
He slowly made various gentle expressions in the mirror.
The maid behind him who was dressing him didn't even dare to look at him.
"Do you think she will like it?" The maid nodded hurriedly and said flatteringly, "Of course, my master is so handsome, all the women in the world will admire you!"
"Oh, is it true?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, but the next moment, the face of the elegant man in the mirror turned gloomy.
"If that's the case, then why did she choose that man?"
He stared at the maid in the mirror, and the corners of his lips curved into a cold arc.
"You're lying to me!"
"I don't dare!"
The maid immediately knelt down and trembled.
But Lu Jiuzhong remained unmoved and kicked him away in disgust.
"puff--"
The maid hit the wall hard, and the blood spit out of her mouth was even mixed with broken internal organs.
People came in and out around her, but no one dared to look at her.
Under the maid's desperate begging, she slowly lost her life.
"Drag her down."
Lu Jiuzhong, who had regained his temper a little, returned to his indifference again.
Behind him, another maid took over the job of the maid just now, silently and timidly, combing his hair.
It doesn't matter who she likes, because sooner or later, he will snatch her away.
When the time comes, she will fall in love with him again, regain the purity she deserves, and live with herself forever.
When he thought of such a beautiful scene, the chill in Lu Jiuzhong's body instantly melted away.
In this world, only she can be worthy of herself.
In front of the Wanjin Guild Hall, Lin Mengya, dressed up and smiling happily, was chatting and laughing with the heads of various families.
When Lu Jiuzhong's carriage stopped in front of her, Lin Mengya immediately stepped forward and said hello politely.
"Master Lu."
Lu Jiuzhong was naturally happy to see her.
But after seeing those annoying guys next to me, I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
"Master Gong, may I ask who these people are?"
"I thought that since everyone wants to know more about some big chambers of commerce and colleges, instead of coming one by one, why not I invite everyone to come and have a look together. This way, everyone will save trouble."
The household heads around him nodded repeatedly.
Even if they wanted to know more, it was unlikely that the head of the Gong family would personally accompany them.
Now there is such a good opportunity, of course it is good.
Lu Jiuzhong reluctantly suppressed his violent emotions and smiled gently.
"You are still thoughtful. In that case, let's come together."
Lu Jiuzhong was familiar with her attitude, but it made her feel awkward.
The surrounding house owners also
They are all human beings, and you can tell what is going on at a glance.
But they felt that the young masters from the Lu family around them were really "courageous".
He is a ruthless person who dares to pry into the corner of His Highness the Crown Prince.
The group of people entered the Wanjin Guild Hall, and Lu Jiuzhong followed her at a close distance. Although he didn't seem so close, he was different from others.
It was this sense of distance that allowed Lin Mengya to gradually dispel her doubts.
Lu Jiuzhong is obviously a very sensible person. It seems that she may have thought too much about what happened before, right?
Coupled with the life-saving grace last night, she couldn't be too indifferent to him.
But it's just that he is a little more kind than other family heads.
"I heard that the Wanjin Guild Hall and the Great Chamber of Commerce were always established by the eldest son of the Gong family. I wonder what happened to your brother recently, why are you missing?"
The person who asked this question was one of the family heads invited back by Gong Bin.
He didn't mean to provoke, he was just curious and wanted to ask.
But after speaking, I couldn't help but think of the recent rumors, and I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Lin Mengya didn't care much about it, and said with a smile, "My eldest brother is the most calm and reliable. How can I do without him in matters at home? After leaving for so long, no one is taking care of our shops. No, now
I'm still checking the accounts at home. If it weren't for my big brother, I might not even be able to eat."
These words are undoubtedly elevating Gong Bin's actual status in the Gong family.
Sooner or later, the Great Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to the eldest brother, so even though the eldest brother is not in charge now, she must make a statement.
Suddenly, all the family heads understood and nodded.
"Indeed, the eldest son of your mansion is a business wizard."
"We will still have to rely more on the eldest son in the future!"
Lin Mengya nodded and smiled, accepting all these compliments for her elder brother.
When he led them to the large accounting room of the Great Chamber of Commerce, he heard the voice of the elder brother coming from inside.
"How do you do things? The things on the books are inconsistent with the receipts sent by the branch storekeepers. Why didn't you see it?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and was a little surprised.
He raised his legs and walked in with the person.
Gong Bin was scolding the accountant with a cold expression. After hearing the commotion and seeing her, his expression softened slightly and he came over to greet her.
"Master of the house."
The friendly yet respectful attitude of the Gong brothers and sisters immediately made everyone around them see clearly the relationship between the two.
They are not only brother and sister, but also the relationship between the head of the family and the clan members.
No matter where they are, they can handle the relationship properly.
Such a clear distinction between public and private affairs shows that their Gong family is open and honest, not because of power or money. of discord.
Immediately, those family heads who still had other thoughts stopped.
From now on, the Gong family brothers and sisters are just like a piece of iron.
"Brother, don't work too hard."
Lin Mengya didn't ask anything, just gave instructions.
Gong Bin's heart also returned to his stomach.
It seemed that his sister really had not given up on him, and her heart that had just been broken up in love was somewhat relieved.
"The same to you."
The two nodded, saying nothing.
Is there any unsolvable hatred between brother and sister?
The following introductions are all represented by Gong Bin.
Compared to Lin Mengya's partial knowledge, he knew more thoroughly.
Lin Mengya just had to follow behind and keep smiling. She felt a headache when she thought about dealing with these slippery family owners.
It would be better to silently read the new medicine scripture given by the teacher.
"Miss Gong seems a little bored?"
Lu Jiuzhong, who had been paying attention to her, deliberately fell behind the crowd and asked with a smile.
Lin Mengya shook her head.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm not very good at these things."
Lu Jiuzhong's smile deepened.
As before, when it comes to things she doesn't quite understand, she always uses her mind to escape.
These can be hidden from the eyes of others, but not from him.
"If you don't like things, you don't have to embarrass yourself, just let others do it."
All she had to do was be obedient and hide behind him.
He was full of doting, but it made Lin Mengya feel a little uncomfortable.
"Master Lu is right. There are specialties in the art industry. It is indeed necessary to leave the matter to more professional people. I think it is time for their visit to be over. Let's go over and join them."
After saying that, the person walked over quickly.
Lu Jiuzhong was left standing there with an unpredictable expression.
Why can't she learn well?
The hands that were squeezed tightly were slowly loosened.
It doesn't matter, all of this can be changed.
As long as her heart belongs to her, that's fine.
Lu Jiuzhong also walked over. The two people, one behind the other, were entangled in each other with their elongated shadows.
Lunch is served at the college.
It just so happens that I would like to allow you all to take a look at the hardware facilities of the college.
Although the family heads had eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, such a collective big pot meal was still a very novel experience.
In this regard, although a group of family heads had tense faces, they were still very interested and chose some of their favorite foods.
