Seeing that his subordinates were all looking at Lu Zheng with fear, Lu Wei widened his eyes and spat angrily. He wanted to take a breath and continue reprimanding this nominal “nephew”, but on second thought, he recalled Lu Zheng’s ruthless methods just now. He took a step back calmly, pursed his lips tightly, raised his finger and pointed at Lu Zheng. “Alright, you’re really an unfilial descendant of the Lu family. How dare you attack your elders!”
After pausing for a few seconds, Lu Wei waved his hand behind him. “I’ll talk to the managing elder of the clan about your crimes and I’ll settle the score with you then!”
After saying this, as if he was worried that Lu Zheng would be provoked, Lu Wei hurriedly left the Lu family’s courtyard with his subordinates.
Seeing everyone leave, Fang Qiang took two steps forward and stood behind Lu Zheng. After bowing respectfully, he asked in a low voice, “Young Master, you’ve suffered such a huge loss here today. I’m afraid you can’t let this matter rest!”
When Lu Zheng heard this, he raised his hand and patted the man’s shoulder. He raised his eyebrows calmly without changing his expression. “It’s fine. In the next two days, Ms. Mo will be able to cure the old master and I. When the old master wakes up, there won’t be any trouble in the Lu family!”
Upon hearing Lu Zheng’s words, Fang Qiang recalled the days when the old master was still healthy and he nodded in agreement. “Then we’ll listen to Young Master’s arrangements!”
On the other side, after Mo Zhu returned to the room that Lu Zheng had specially arranged for her, she had wasted a day treating the two of them and taught a bunch of eyesore a lesson. Her body was too tired and under extreme fatigue, she only sent Huo Xuan a simple message before hurriedly taking a shower and lying on the bed to sleep.
The next morning, Mo Zhu slept until late in the morning. When she woke up, a servant came to report that Mo Jiu had already packed the Seven Star Needles and some rare herbs into a medicine box and sent them to the Lu family according to her instructions last night.
Seeing Mo Zhu come downstairs, Lu Zheng shouted for the servants to serve the lunch that he had prepared in advance. As he stood up, he smiled and led the way for Mo Zhu. “Ms. Mo, I’ve troubled you too much yesterday. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly this morning, I didn’t ask the servants to call you for breakfast. Since you’re already up, let’s eat something simple to fill our stomachs.”
Upon hearing Lu Zheng’s words, Mo Zhu raised her hand and touched her stomach. She instantly felt a hint of hunger and walked slowly to the dining table. She said coldly, “Alright, have lunch first. After eating, I’ll perform acupuncture on the old master before treating your illness. I have something else to do and can’t stay in the Lu family for too long!”
Lu Zheng agreed to Mo Zhu’s words and immediately nodded. “No problem.”
She picked up her chopsticks and tasted the Lu family’s dishes. Mo Zhu only took a few bites and claimed that she was done eating.
Although the Lu family was also a noble family in Beijing, the chefs in this courtyard were far inferior to the Huo family. After being fed a big meal by Chen Man everyday, Mo Zhu had become picky. Ordinary dishes were definitely not worthy of her attention.
After Mo Zhu was done eating, Lu Zheng did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately brought Mo Zhu to the old master’s room.
She took two steps forward to the bed and neatly took out a light-colored pill from the medicine box and stuffed it into his mouth. After taking his pulse briefly, she took out her acupuncture bag and started to perform the Seven Star Acupuncture Technique on the old master.
The Seven Star Acupuncture Technique consumed a lot of internal energy. After a while, Mo Zhu was already covered in sweat.
Time passed minute by minute and second. Seeing that the old master’s face was gradually turning from pale to red, Mo Zhu stopped and quickly pulled out the needle before putting it back into the acupuncture bag.
Lu Zheng, who was watching all of this quietly, saw that the girl’s face was covered in sweat and could not help but ask worriedly, “Ms. Mo, are you alright?”
