"I have met Lord Wanfu County."

"Please forgive me, County Lord. I am on official business and cannot salute you."

The little waiter said to Lu Yaoyao respectfully.

He was holding the imperial edict in his hand, and being able to say hello like this was already a great honor to Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao also understood, and immediately smiled and said, "Father, you are so polite."

Although the young chamberlain does not need to salute, the guards who followed him in must do so.

"I have met the Lord Wanfu County."

The four of them clasped their fists and raised their hands together.

"No need to be polite."

Lu Yaoyao raised his hand.

Seeing this scene, the four members of the Li family were stunned, especially Yan'er, who had made such arrogant remarks just now. Her face turned pale with fright and her whole body was shaking.

Seeing her quietly tugging at the corner of He's clothes, He immediately came to her senses. It would definitely be unlucky for him to stay in this situation at this moment.

Thinking of this, Mrs. He quickly turned around and winked at Li Yi and Li Yi's father. The four of them had a tacit understanding and moved out of the main hall little by little.

Their actions were all seen by Lu Yaoyao, and the waiter standing at the door could also see clearly.

Normally, when the capital issues an imperial edict, they only need to shout at the door and wait for the Lu family to go over and place an incense table to receive the edict.

But this little chamberlain was Wang De's apprentice. Before leaving the capital, Wang De Qian warned him to be respectful when he came over, and never to put on airs. If he was told that he was coming here to put on airs.

I will deal with him when I return to the capital.

As for the little chamberlain, he listened to Wang De's words the most. Besides, what came this time was not only the imperial edict, but also the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty.

In today's world, there are only a handful of people who can get imperial gold medals, and without exception they are all very powerful people. How can he, a little chamberlain, dare to put on airs?

Therefore, when he arrived at the Lu family today, he did not directly announce the imperial edict.

Instead, let the accompanying guard open the door and ask politely.

When he learned that there were guests entering the Lu Mansion, the waiter did not wait at the door and came over on his own initiative.

But as soon as I arrived at the door, I heard someone uttering wild words.

Although he is not very old, he has been hanging around in the palace all year round. What kind of monsters and ghosts have he not seen?

Regarding the current situation, he could tell with just one glance that someone was causing trouble for Wanfu County Lord.

That's okay, you can't let go of such a favor opportunity.

"Hold the door. Someone just uttered arrogant words. Wait until the holy edict is read out to deal with it."

The four guards were also smart people. They responded, took a few steps back, and guarded the entrance to the main hall.

The four members of the Li family who had just taken a few steps back were so frightened that they froze in place.

It's over.

Mr. He glared at Yan'er angrily. If she hadn't spoken so freely just now, she wouldn't be like this now.

I don’t know how the Lu family’s county chief will deal with them.

At this moment, Mr. He regretted it very much.

I regret that I brought Yan'er here this time, and I also regret that I missed a great opportunity to cling to the powerful. If I had not softened my heart and listened to my mother's words and brought Yan'er into the house in advance, wouldn't the Lu family's marriage be saved?

At this moment, she knew very well that the Lu family's marriage could not be saved.

Not for anything else, just because the Lord Wanfu County has made it clear just now that he must retreat if he doesn't.

In the past, they could still rely on high-ranking officials to scare the Lu family. Now, the Lu family has a county head, who is a big shot above the nine heavens. The local county magistrate cannot be frightened at all.

Not only is it intimidating, but if the county magistrate knows that the person suing is the county head's family, I'm afraid they themselves will be the first to be unlucky.

Yan'er was so frightened that she would be caught and beheaded by these vicious guards.

Her good life had just begun not long ago, and she still dreamed of giving birth to a son in the future, who would take over the He family's control of the entire Li family's industry.

A few hundred taels of silver a month.

Speaking of which, He's natal family is not considered rich, and is even a bit poor. Before He married Li Yi's father, the He family was just a farmer in the village.

Although the He family has escaped from the ranks of poor farmers with the help of the He family over the years, their monthly income is only twenty or thirty taels.

Moreover, the He family has many brothers and sisters. Even if the family members have an income of twenty or thirty taels, it is not enough.

In order to get more help and for the He family to have a long and easy life in the future, He's old mother let Yan'er marry into the Li family.

The purpose is to succeed the He family in the future, continue to control everything in the Li family, and continue to seek benefits for the He family.

As for whether the He family knew about her mother's family's plan, she knew it, but there was nothing she could do about it. The Li family was just a single branch, and she could keep the Li family from making trouble.

But what if she wasn't there to keep her under control? His husband and son were no match for the Li family, so she let Yan'er marry into the Li family in the hope of finding a backer for her son in the future.

As for the Lu family, her thoughts are almost the same. She hopes that her son can have the Lu family as a backer, and she also hopes that the Li family can get the Lu family as a backer to expand their business.

"County Lord, please accept the order."

"Oh oh oh, wait a minute."

Lu Yaoyao quickly turned to look at Mr. Lu.

"Hurry and prepare the incense table."

Zhao and Yuan hurriedly took action. When they were in the capital, Lu Yaoyao also received the imperial edict when he was at the Lu family, so they were still familiar with these procedures.

Not long after, the incense table was ready, and Lu Yaoyao stood at the front, followed by Mr. Lu, Lu Kang, Yuanshi, Zhaoshi, Lu Yunhan, and behind him were the juniors and servants, who knelt down and cheered.

Seeing this situation, the four members of the Li family were stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt down.

The content of the imperial edict is very simple, it is to praise Lu Yaoyao for punishing evil officials here, and at the end it mentions a gold medal reward.

"County Lord."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Lu Yaoyao took the imperial edict, turned around and handed it to Mr. Lu, and then took the gold medal engraved with the four words "As if I were here in person" from the little chamberlain.

"Congratulations to Wanfu County Master, you are currently the three people in Dongzhou who have received gold medals."

"Is that so?"

Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised. Although he had watched palace fighting dramas before, he knew that gold medals were awesome.

But she didn't know the quantity of this thing. Anyway, she just looked at those emperors and would often give this thing to the ministers below, or she liked the juniors.

So she felt that there should be a lot of these things for His Majesty to reward him so casually.

I never thought that there were only three of them, and she was one of them.

Then he asked curiously, "Who are the other two?"

"The first one is the Founding Marquis. The first Founding Marquis and Taizu are sworn brothers. They saved Taizu several times during the Conquest of the World formation."

Lu Yaoyao nodded. It was reasonable for such a person to have a gold medal.

"The second one is Duke Zhen Guo. You should know about his situation."
