"No need to say more."
"Just remember what I just said. If you dare to commit a crime, I can give it to you and take it back."
Lu Yaoyao didn't even look at Mr. Lu and spoke coldly.
"You are so impudent and rude to your elders. Is this your direct family tutor?"
Mrs. Mei scolded.
But she still remembered that Mr. Lu just scolded her for not having a tutor.
"Bold."
"How dare you be rude to the county lord."
Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang both stood up and stared at Mrs. Mei coldly.
"County Lord!"
Except for the direct descendants and Lu Yunhan, everyone present was stunned.
"That's right, Yao Yao is the second-grade head of Wanfu County who has been consecrated personally by the Holy Emperor."
Lu Kang stood up and glanced coldly at Mr. Lu's family, as well as those who acted according to the prevailing circumstances.
Finally, it settled on Mei.
"People from the branch talk nonsense in the main hall of the direct branch, disrespecting the elders and the patriarch."
"The Lu family cannot keep you here."
With that said, he turned around and cupped his hands towards his father and said, "Such a rude person will be removed from the family tree."
"What!"
When Mrs. Mei learned that Lu Yaoyao was the head of the county, she was already frightened. When she heard Lu Kang's words, she turned pale with fright.
If she is removed from the family tree, doesn't that mean she will be divorced?
How can this be done?
"Lao San, what do you think?"
Mr. Lu turned to look at Mr. Lu.
At this time, Mr. Lu was also in a state of confusion. He had just noticed something was wrong with his direct descendants, but he had not had time to think about it carefully.
Lu Yaoyao was the county head, and it was like thunder ringing in his ears, making his head buzz.
As the second-grade county chief, that is a proper high-level honor.
Dongzhou is very hierarchical and the classes are very clear.
The status of merchants is very low. At some point, even when facing some slightly accomplished scholars, they have to bow their heads.
Such high-ranking nobles are beyond their wildest dreams.
Now that one person appears directly, it directly raises the status of the Lu family by an unknown number of levels.
No wonder she could make her direct descendants give away all their family property without even frowning with just one word.
This level of status cannot be bought with two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.
If Lu Yaoyao recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan, he will directly lead the Lu family to leap over the dragon gate and be promoted to a distinguished family.
However, after today's series of events, Lu Yaoyao will definitely hate them, and he is afraid that he will not be able to rely on her identity in the future.
Mr. Lu instantly fell back and looked at his cold-faced elder brother with a complicated expression.
At this moment, he knew that he had completely disembarked from the Lu family's ship, which was about to be sailed, and that he would never have the chance to get on the ship again.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence."
Mr. Lu's dissatisfaction with this brother had reached the extreme at this time, and he coldly dropped a word.
Just ask Lu Kang to ask for the genealogy.
At this time, Mrs. Zhao came back and took the keys to the family warehouse, as well as the deeds to various fields and shops.
"I did a simple calculation just now, and it turns out that two hundred and fifty thousand taels is quite a lot."
"Thank you, auntie. When we return to the capital, I will ask Qiu Shuang to send the money to you."
"It doesn't matter, you can give it whenever you want."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hands grandly.
"Yes, Yao Yao, you gave our family a lot of things. Just those few businesses alone will cost more than one hundred thousand taels this month. This little money is nothing."
Yuanshi also spoke. When she said this, she did not forget to glance at Mr. Lu and his party.
"My brother and sister are right."
"Father-in-law, you told me last time that Yao Yao brought several profitable businesses to our family, and we should give her half of them."
"How about you give these things to Yaoyao?"
Mr. Lu nodded happily after hearing this. His daughter-in-law had to be the one to do it.
"You and your siblings are in charge of this family. If you can definitely do it, then that's okay."
"Brother and sister, what do you think?"
"As it should be, I have no objection."
"Anyway, we will settle in the capital in the future, and we will come back this time to deal with these industries. This will save trouble."
Yuanshi smiled and nodded.
From now on, Lu Yaoyao will be a member of the Lu family, and she will be the head of Wanfu County. If she recognizes her ancestors and returns to her clan, the status of the Lu family will also rise with the tide.
Although it is still not able to become a real noble family, it has improved a lot compared to before.
Not to mention that Yao Yao gave them three very profitable businesses.
A mere two hundred and fifty thousand taels is nothing, it can be fully earned back in less than three months.
The conversation between these people was like huge rocks hitting the hearts of Mr. Lu and his party.
As the head of the county, he had a big business with a monthly income of more than 100,000 yuan, and later settled in the capital.
What these represent, they know very well.
At this moment, those Lu family members who had defected felt extremely regretful in their hearts.
If they had not defected, would they have had the opportunity to settle in the capital in the future?
Even if they don't go to the capital, if there is a county head in the family, will the county officials still dare to bully them?
Not to mention a business that earns more than 100,000 yuan a month.
According to Mr. Lu's past practice, even if Tan Mo is not involved in all of these businesses, it is inevitable that they should be given some share.
However, coupled with the original business, the income this month has been huge, and it should be no problem to double or triple it.
And you don’t have to worry about being bullied and asking for benefits.
What a loss, what a big loss.
"Aunt Han, after a while, we will all go to the capital to settle down. You can come with us."
"I have a large villa over there covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres. How about you live with me?"
"How much space does it occupy?"
Lu Yunhan opened her mouth in shock.
"Nearly ten thousand acres?"
"Yes, actually, it was originally a wasteland that Your Majesty wanted to come to. I thought about it and just circled it and built a large villa."
"There are more than five thousand people in the village now, and there should be more in the future. Do you want to go to the capital with me?"
"Go, of course, I'm alone here anyway. I haven't been to the capital yet, and I've never seen such a big villa."
Lu Yunhan nodded repeatedly.
She was alone, and her life would be the same wherever she went. Anyway, the uncle's family was going there to worship ancestors and so on, so she could come back with him.
"Okay, you will come with me then."
With that said, Lu Yaoyao turned to look at the people who had supported her from the beginning, and continued, "Are you willing? The business over there needs help, and there will be some workshops in my village that need people to manage.
"
"We are all a family, I can rest assured if I leave it to you."
"Yes, our family is in the capital now. We have a perfume business and a spirits business. We will be withdrawing from soap soon, and we all need manpower."
Mr. Lu took over the conversation and continued, "Actually, when I came back this time, I wanted Yao Yao to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, and then talk to everyone about going to the capital to develop."
"Who knows"
He shook his head and continued to look at those who had been on their side from the beginning and said, "If you are willing, you can start making preparations recently to see if you want to sell some of your properties first and move on later.
The capital is slowly repurchasing it."
