My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1504 - 1505: Lu Family Grudges and Resentments 448
"Lu Xiu thanks Miss An deeply!" Lu Xiu respectfully bowed his head to the ground before rising, expressing his respect and gratitude.
Lu Xiu harbored his own intentions, which he did not voice.
Due to the relationship between An Ning and Lord County Magistrate, if the statement paper were delivered by her, the County Magistrate would certainly pay attention to it. However, if it were submitted by their brothers, the treatment would likely be quite different.
Did An Ning really not see through Lu Xiu’s intentions?
Of course not.
She saw through them but still chose to help; it was a testament to Lu Xiu’s character and also because what happened to the Lu Family was truly tragic and shocking.
The Lu Family’s ancestors once ran an Escort Agency, but due to events in recent years, they had to lay off most of their people.
Later on, through a fortunate turn of events, these people were brought back together.
However, after several years of settling and refining, Lu Xiu’s grandfather, who was the head at the time, did not realize that the brothers he trusted to stand by him through life and death were no longer the same unified brothers from before.
They were people who transported goods, not bandits. Yet those brothers, swayed by greed, wanted to rob the goods they were escorting. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Head Lu was an extremely upright man and naturally would not allow such a thing to happen, which led to repeated disputes and eventually parting ways.
In the end, those people still resorted to violence.
Within the goods they were escorting, there were also two individuals who could only be considered as children.
The betrayers, being in greater numbers, thought that once they dealt with those two children, they would surely succeed.
But unexpectedly, everyone overlooked the fighting capabilities of those two children.
No one with complete certainty would dare to travel with a huge fortune alongside a group of strangers!
The villains hadn’t even had a chance to act before they were all knocked down one by one.
When they awoke again, they found themselves all tied up together, incapable of any resistance.
They could only blame themselves for having previously arrogantly boasted in front of the two children that they wanted their lives. Who could muster sympathy for those who wanted to kill them!
Clearly, those two wouldn’t.
But Head Lu would.
After all, they were once brothers who shared life and death experiences. He always believed that even if they had harbored bad intentions, life had worn down their nature. If given a chance, they could still turn over a new leaf.
Thus, taking advantage of the master’s inattention, Head Lu quietly released those who had betrayed them.
At that time, the master only had two children, who certainly couldn’t manage all the goods, so even though there was blame, they did not send them away.
Thus, the remaining people continued on the road with the two young masters.
It seemed the matter had passed, but the terrifying part was what came after.
After completing the escort and returning home, Head Lu held the escort’s silver in his hand. Naturally, they revived the Escort Agency, and for a time, the Lu Family’s Escort Agency became renowned in the town, restoring their former prosperity.
As for those who betrayed them, not only did they come up empty-handed, but the original escort’s silver was also taken by the master; they relied on petty theft on their way back to town.
Seeing the Lu Family’s Escort Agency flourishing once again, having originally set out together but now with such different outcomes, an obvious gap formed in their hearts.
These people, who could hardly even have a meal, could only return to the Escort Agency to seek a way to make a living.
