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

Chapter 9 One after another
  【Big brother, big brother! Can't answer! There is a ghost in that letter! He just expected that you wouldn't open it after receiving it, so he stuffed tens of thousands of banknotes inside, and finally framed you for accepting bribes! 】

When Lu Shengqing heard this, he paused and said, "My sister is still young, so I have to hold it with both hands. She is our family's dearest baby. We can't drop it, and we can't receive the letter. As for what you said, please I would like to report back to all my lords, the imperial examination is a major event in the court and is not a trivial matter, so please respect yourself."

The hand of the colleague delivering the letter stopped in mid-air, obviously still determined not to give up, "But these are all very important families in the court. If you don't accept it, won't it be easy to offend them?"

【I bother! It was that stupid seventh prince who sent you here again! What kind of aristocratic family is this? After the Dong Chuang Incident, the Seventh Prince even took the blame for them. He was greatly praised by the Emperor for this incident. You should pave the way for him. Sooner or later, you will all be abandoned by him! 】

As soon as Lu Youyou heard this, she grabbed her elder brother and signaled to leave. Lu Shengqing also stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, please leave first. Our family has been very busy recently. It’s no time to receive my brother.”

Lu Shengqing stood up and wanted to leave, but Lu Youyou pulled him hard again.

[No wonder eldest brother is framed so easily. He is too aloof and has no sense of defense at all? You just left like that, what if he hid the letter here? 】

"It's better that I see my brother off and leave first. I've already arranged the imperial examination and can start it after I return to the Imperial College. Other things don't need to be concerned about by my brother."

After hearing what Lu Youyou said, Lu Shengqing felt that it made sense. He stood there and stared at his colleague as he put the letter back into his arms. He accompanied the man all the way until he left the general's mansion.

However, after this time, Lu Shengqing was completely suspicious of the people around him. He originally thought that the Imperial College was full of scholars, but he didn't expect that he had been set up as an informant by someone who was interested.

Even someone like me, who doesn't interact much with other officials on weekdays, is being targeted.

"That's it. Anyway, I have sent him away. I have to ask my third brother to be more careful in the future." Back in the room, Lu Shengqing did not hide anything and simply told what happened in the front hall just now. He only kept the fact that he heard Lu Youyou's voice secret.

"There are so many things in your officialdom." It was because he didn't want to get involved in these messy things that Lu Zhiyan decided not to become an official.

[Second brother, this is not the eldest brother’s problem. Being targeted by the Seventh Prince is not the reason for our family. 】

Lu Youyou couldn't help but excuse her elder brother in her heart.

[Brother was framed by that bad guy because I disappeared and he didn’t care about the Imperial College when he was looking for me. Since he has escaped today, everything will go smoothly in the future. 】

Thinking of the cannon fodder ending in the general's mansion in the book, Lu Youyou couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and the expression on his face became a little aggrieved, which made both brothers feel a little distressed.

Lu Zhiyan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly started to tease her again, "Don't worry, but brother is so smart, he can solve anything, not to mention we have a little lucky star like Youyou!"

Lu Shengqing pretended to be relaxed in order to reassure his sister, but Lin Yuyan didn't think so.

"Shengqing, I will tell your father what happened today when he comes back, and you brothers will discuss it. It's not peaceful recently, so you should be more careful."

[Yes, yes, be more careful, and don’t be soft-hearted, lest they plot behind your back. I don’t want to be cannon fodder, and I don’t want you to be cannon fodder. 】

Although he didn't understand what cannon fodder meant, Lu Shengqing still wrote down what Lu Youyou said just now. In order to protect his family, he really couldn't be so soft-hearted.

[But if I tell the Ninth Prince about this matter at this time and ask him to investigate the fraud, will he directly find out the insiders in the Imperial College? Lin Yuyan was still worried. Although their family had successfully escaped several disasters since Youyou was born, according to what Youyou said, the troubles in the General's Mansion might be far more than that.

She can no longer simply rely on eavesdropping on Lu Youyou's thoughts to defend herself. Everyone must be more careful.

Lu Shengqing nodded. Today, he discovered that there might be people in the Imperial College who were arranged to keep an eye on him, and he would be more careful in the future. However, sometimes he couldn't take care of the affairs of the General's Mansion.

"What are you talking about?" Lu Wushuang walked in quickly, took off his armor aside, and couldn't wait to see Lu Youyou.

Seeing that his face seemed unhappy, the elder brother stopped him first and said, "What happened? Why did you come back so early today?"

It's okay not to say it, but when he said it, the third child's face suddenly fell.

"What's more, I was just about to take leave today when I was assigned to work. I'm afraid I'll be busy for several days and may not be able to go home."

[As expected of the leader of the Habayashi Guards, my third brother is still very important! 】

Lu Youyou likes to see Lu Wushuang wearing armor. Perhaps it is because Lu Wushuang saved her like this when they first met, so she now blindly worships her third brother.

"What kind of errand is it?" Lin Yuyan was very vigilant, "You are not the only commander of the Yulin Guard. Are you asked to do it by name?"

Lu Wushuang scratched his head, "The other commanders are busy with other things. I am free now and I am in a hurry to take leave. Am I being targeted?" He didn't think so much. Originally, the Yulin Guards were under the supervision of the emperor. It is normal for those who are dispatched directly to have temporary arrangements.

"The emperor wants to patrol along the moat to observe the people's sentiments and ask several princes to follow. The Yulin Guards will naturally protect them along the way."

【what? What? 】

Lu Youyou stared at the third brother in front of her with wide eyes.

[It seems that the seventh prince attacked the eldest brother and the third brother at the same time. He wanted to make them busy taking care of themselves. He was really scheming! 】

Lu Wushuang originally thought it was just an ordinary business matter, but when he heard what Lu Youyou said, he became wary.

"It seems that there was nothing wrong with me originally. It was the Seventh Prince who recommended me, so this matter fell on me."

【Right! It’s this seventh prince. He saw that the third brother stayed in the Yulin Guard Camp every day and it was difficult to make a move, so he recommended it in front of the emperor and wanted you to guard him. He would arrange assassins on the way, even if you can’t be hurt by then. You can also take part in your failure of duty in front of the emperor. 】

Lu Wushuang's eyes almost popped out when he heard this, but it was just a decree from the emperor. How could he have imagined this?

"But the emperor has already issued an order, so I have to go."
