After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the cannon fodder family went crazy!

Chapter 23 A near miss
  "Madam, what you said makes sense. I will also give instructions to the younger ones tomorrow to avoid causing any trouble."

With the imperial examination approaching, Lu Shengqing was so busy that he barely touched the ground. He had time to go home a few days ago, so he simply stayed in the Imperial College these days.

Lu Youyou didn't see her eldest brother for several days and felt strange.

The imperial examination had not been held for so long, so how could there be so many things to deal with?

[I haven’t seen my eldest brother for a long time recently. Why is he so busy? 】

"Shengqing seems to be a little busy lately. He hasn't been seen for a few days." Lin Yuyan heard that Lu Youyou was thinking about her elder brother, so she put down her sewing and raised her head to look at Lu Zhiyan.

"It's normal. He's busy with the imperial examinations, and there's Zheng Rong who needs to be on guard all the time. Can't he be a little busy?"

Lu Zhiyan didn't have anything to worry about his eldest brother, who always acted steadily, "I have to go out to do some errands today, so you don't have to wait for me to eat tonight."

He was about to study the prescription he found in the book and prepare tooth powder. Today he reluctantly gave the opportunity to accompany his sister to his third brother.

[That’s right, it’s a wine ceremony after all, so it’s okay to be busy...]

[No, I feel like I forgot something. 】

Lu Youyou hit her head with her fist, feeling that she had forgotten something.

"Hey, don't worry. My eldest brother is just busy with official duties. He will come back to accompany you when he is done."

Lu Wushuang heard Lu Youyou's worry and quickly spoke to comfort her, but Lu Youyou remained unmoved.

[Oops, I remembered, it’s just that Zheng Rong! He wants to harm his eldest brother! 】

[Before, I was only thinking about getting rid of this person early, but I forgot that now that he has returned to the Imperial College, how could he let his eldest brother go so easily? 】

Lu Youyou was a little anxious, but she was still too young and couldn't do anything.

Hearing this, Lu Wushuang also realized that something was wrong, and quickly hugged Lu Youyou and went out.

"Hey, why are you holding Youyou?"

Lin Yuyan was far away and couldn't hear clearly what Lu Youyou said just now. She saw Lu Wushuang hurriedly carrying Lu Youyou out and wanted to stop him, but Lu Wushuang couldn't run as fast as Lu Wushuang.

Lu Wushuang didn't have time to say anything more. He heard Lin Yuyan ask from behind and shouted from a distance, "We'll be back soon!"

[Strange, what are you doing, third brother? 】

Lu Youyou also stirred up Lu Wushuang's nervous atmosphere. She didn't dare to ride a horse while holding Lu Youyou in her arms, so she hurried to the Imperial Academy in a carriage. Fortunately, the journey was not far, and the two of them quickly arrived at the eldest brother's office.

All the people from the Imperial College have arrived and are waiting for the emperor to arrive before the ceremony can officially begin.

Lu Shengqing had just finished the work at hand, and finally had time to take a breath. He and his colleagues gathered in the front hall to chat for a while. While chatting, he saw Lu Wushuang hugging his little one in a hurry from a distance. He ran over quickly.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Shengqing still didn't know what happened. His third brother had always been reckless, so why did he come here with his sister in his arms?

Although he didn't know the whole story, he still ran over. "Things here will be finished soon, so I will go back in the evening."

"But..." Lu Wushuang lowered his head and looked at his sister in his arms, "Yoyou is very worried about you, afraid that something will happen to you. Oh no, I am worried about you, so I brought Youyou to see you."

They couldn't tell the story about Lu Youyou, so they hid it appropriately. However, most of the officials in the Imperial College were Lu Shengqing's age. They had long been envious of Lu Shengqing for having such a lovely sister. Now here comes After that, they swarmed up and surrounded them.

"My sister is so cute, her little face is so pink."

Although Lu Shengqing's colleagues were very curious and wanted to see Lu Youyou, they were all scholars after all, and they were ordered to keep a distance and watch from the side, not daring to get too close.

Lu Youyou saw so many people gathered around. Although she was curious, she still did not forget the purpose of coming.

Sure enough, when everyone else gathered around, Zheng Rong secretly stuffed something into his elder brother's book.

[Third brother, stop staring at me, look, look, look! 】

The more anxious Lu Youyou became, the less able she was to speak, and she couldn't point directly in that direction, so she could only pull Lu Wushuang's fingers with her hands.

When Lu Wushuang heard Lu Youyou's words, he also glanced to the side warily, and happened to see Zheng Rong stuffing something secretly.

He was convinced. Because of the previous suspected frauds, the emperor decided to attend in person today. If Lu Shengqing uncovered the stolen goods in front of the emperor, the eldest brother's crime would be fulfilled.

Lu Wushuang hugged Lu Youyou and walked towards the desk. Zheng Rong pretended to feel guilty and walked away, but his expression was normal. Lu Shengqing didn't know that in just a few seconds, What on earth did Zheng Rong do?

"Brother, isn't this the book I borrowed from you a few days ago? You always excused yourself and said you couldn't find it. Isn't this right here?"

Lu Wushuang took advantage of the opportunity to flip through the book, took out the banknotes in the book, and stuffed them into his sleeves.

"You want to read this book?" Lu Shengqing didn't know what was going on. He looked at his strange third brother and walked over in confusion, "But this book is..."

Before Lu Shengqing could finish what he said, Lu Wushuang gave him a wink, indicating that he would cooperate. Fortunately, the two brothers cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. After several shirks, the book was still put back on the table.

Lu Youyou was not idle, her little eyes were really wide open, and she kept staring at Zheng Rong's reaction. Sure enough, when he heard that the third brother was going to take the book away, the expression on his face became panicked, and he looked at The two finally put the book back to its original position and then lowered their heads again.

He had planned it a long time ago. Lu Shengqing protected his books very well and wrote his name on them, not to mention being made such a fuss by the two brothers. Everyone present can prove that this book It’s a deer that wins a hectare.

[It’s a pity, the plan is okay, but my eyesight is not very good. 】

Lu Youyou touched the banknotes in Lu Wushuang's sleeves. They were two thin pieces. She couldn't help but curled her lips and said, "I've already been framed. I'm not willing to get more banknotes. Your master didn't arrange it for you." ? Or did you get a kickback? 】

After Lu Wushuang heard this, he also felt that he could not let his elder brother suffer this risk in vain, and he could not put the banknote on himself, so he turned around and put the banknote directly back on Zheng Rong.

Without knowing it, no one knew what happened except Lu Youyou who was being held by Lu Wushuang.

What a coincidence, the emperor just arrived at this time.

"The Emperor has arrived." Following the protracted voice of the official, Lu Youyou couldn't help but look at Zheng Rong.
