First Empress Merchant

Chapter 240 Bitterness (1)
She could understand that Uncle Lu was kindly reminding her to control her emotions, but after hearing what he said, she took it for granted, but it was none of her business, it really is true that the emperor is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch!I'm so bored, I'm so bored, why doesn't everything go my way?

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke for a long time. In the end, it was Lu Su's family who smoothed things over and said, "Hey, we more or less took a nap last night, but Miss kept her eyes open until dawn. I guess it's because she was tired." It's terrible, how about this, everyone should leave first, I'll go get some food later, how about we discuss the business of the villa and the shops after eating?"

The people present were all smart people, so they would naturally go down the steps, and went out one after another after saying hello, Lu Lishi ignored them, and when she finished speaking, she just leaned on the table and closed her eyes to rest.

I don't know how long it took, as if I suddenly thought of something, and planned to go out, but when I opened my eyes, I saw Lu Su still standing where he was originally standing. He was slightly taken aback, and realized that he might have misunderstood something, so he planned to explain. But just as he opened his mouth, he preempted him.

"Miss, since I started business with the master, I have never felt that there is any shame in being a businessman, so when I learned that you decided to go into business, instead of stopping me, I strongly supported it. I also know What you just said was nothing more than being angry at yourself for not being able to do anything."

"Uncle Lu, I..." Lu Lishi blamed herself for hurting someone's heart with what she said unintentionally, but was interrupted before she finished speaking.

"Listen to me first, you treat us as a family, and we naturally treat you as a family, but we will never forget our original identity, that is, the servants of the Lu family, so what I want to say is, No matter what you want to do, as long as you think it is right to do it, or it makes you feel comfortable, we will fully support you, regardless of how the world will evaluate you. After a day of tossing, you can take a rest, I'll call you again when it's time for dinner, I'll go back first." After saying this, Lu Su left without staying for a moment, because he knew she needed time to think about what to do next.

Looking at the back of Lu Su leaving, and looking at the empty room at the moment, a kind of emotion slowly grows from the bottom of my heart, mixed with a kind of helplessness at the same time, what is moved is that he can understand her thoughts so well, and they are so considerate of her , have always stood by her side, the helpless thing is that people are people, and never dream of doing things that only God can do.

What is the right way to do it?How to do to feel comfortable?I don't know, I really don't know, my head hurts, can anyone help her!
And when she was struggling with what to do, Mr. Liu from the yamen rushed to visit her.

Situ saw that the person who was supposed to go to the disaster relief appeared here at this moment, and he couldn't help saying with a cold face: "Master Liu, why did you come here if you didn't do what you should do?"

Mr. Liu saw that his face was not friendly, so he could only answer with a tired face, bowing his back: "Mr. Situ, I'm here just for the victims of the disaster. I'd like to trouble Mr. Situ to inform Miss Lu. Just say that the next official has something to ask to see."

Situ faintly realized something, looked back at the closed hall door, and didn't know what he was thinking, only to see that he was silent for a while before opening his mouth and saying: "If I remember correctly, the disaster relief should be done by the yamen. Take care, if the local yamen can't take care of it, go to the county yamen, if you still can't take care of it, go to Beijing, Miss Lu is very courteous, it's useless for you to find her."

Master Liu's face turned into a ball when he heard this, "Mr. Situ, I don't have the face to be an official, but I'm dissatisfied with you. Before I was dismissed, I sent someone to invite Mr. Fang from the county government. Before leaving the yamen, Mr. Fang came to discuss with the subordinate officials about disaster relief."

"So?" Situ knew that he didn't finish his sentence, and it was really related to the disaster victims, so he asked a question.

Master Liu replied: "Mr. Situ, you don't know... no, no, you know, you know, before the next official came, the number of casualties has exceeded [-], let alone buried under the ruins waiting The rescuers are gone, the officials and Master Fang discussed and discussed, and in the end they should not go to see the Empress Dowager Tai. The Empress Dowager said... She said that two-thirds of the people in the palace have been sent to search and rescue, and the rest will wait for the search and rescue. It's almost time to talk about it, our place is stronger because of Miss Lu's suggestion, but the place Mr. Fang is directly under... I don't think I understand it, so should Mr. Situ?"

Situ frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Mr. Liu unconsciously touched the sweat on his forehead, "Your official... I want to say that the collapse of the house is too severe to accommodate people, and the number of tents is very limited. Coincidentally... Pear... Liyuan Villa happened to be closed, so..."

Hearing this, Situ finally understood what he wanted to say. He became inexplicably angry, and his heart moved at will, but just as he started to walk towards Master Liu, he was stopped by Ah Zhong with quick eyes and hands. Fortunately, Master Liu I kept my head down and didn't dare to look him in the face, so I didn't see his expression at the moment, otherwise I would definitely fall down in fright.

Ah Zhong gave a fake cough, "We know about this, but Ms. Lu was overly frightened last night and is resting in bed at the moment. I would like to ask Mrs. Liu to go back first. We will tell her when Ms. Lu wakes up. Of course, as for Ms. Lu who is also If you don’t agree, it’s not up to me, so instead of drawing their attention to Liyuan Villa, Lord Liu and Lord Fang should think of ways to persuade those inns and hotels that have been operating locally for a long time.”

Mr. Liu couldn't say anything more after hearing the words, so he could only lower his head and cup his hands more humbly: "So, I would like to ask the two young masters to say more good things for the victims, and please Miss Lu to take care of her health. I will go back and wait for the news first." Alright, goodbye."

After Master Liu left, Lu Su, Lu Su's family, Li Yi, Shi Liang, Xin'er and other grassroots people came out of their respective houses one after another. Obviously, they all heard what Master Liu said.

As Lu Lishi's elder, Lu Su is also the most qualified to speak, so he took a step forward and bowed on his behalf: "Thank you, Mr. Situ and Mr. Ah Zhong, for thinking of my lady. Although helping the victims is the responsibility of all Yunyang people, but Whether you two blame me for being selfish or disregarding the overall situation, I just want to say that the young lady took the master and Xin'er away from the Lu residence. After coming to this place, I received a lot of help from His Royal Highness King Yang, but my lady also invested a lot. It can be said that Liyuan Villa has poured all of my lady's hard work into it. It's easy to say, but no one can guarantee whether the people under the jurisdiction of Mr. Fang will come, and whether the people in Wushan City will come, right? When the capital is allocated and the houses in various places are rebuilt, I don't know when it will be. , Procrastination like this may be fatal to the loss of Liyuan Villa."
