Chapter 760 The Unidentified Person
Lu Yangyang could guess what happened next without Su Fengqu having to explain.
They wanted to find him alive or dead. Before finding Su Fengqu, those people would not let it go. However, Su Fengqu was a playboy who had frequented various entertainment venues in the capital since childhood. After escaping, he could still shake off these people.
The real problem is what he should do and where he should go.
He couldn't return to the capital, and it was too far away. He didn't know what might happen along the way, and he couldn't afford to take that risk.
They couldn't go home either; the Empress Dowager had passed away, and the Cheng'en Duke's mansion was now just a facade of respectability. Otherwise, their family wouldn't have returned to their hometown to escape the turmoil in the capital.
Besides, he's gotten himself into such trouble; if he goes back, it might bring disaster to his family. The emperor is far away, and even if something really happens to the Su family, if word gets back to the capital, it will only be considered an accident.
Su Fengqu simply couldn't afford to gamble.
No matter how spoiled and ignorant one may have been before, in the face of life and death, growth is but a fleeting moment.
He had nowhere to go.
The only person he could think of and turn to for help was General Sheng Junyao, who was far away in the Northwest. Regardless of what was going on behind the scenes, at least if he saw Sheng Junyao, he could save his life.
Therefore, Su Fengqu made a quick decision and secretly made his way to Yangguan City.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet Lu Yangyang. Regardless of whether Lu Yangyang and Sheng Junyao believed him or not, his life was saved.
These past few days, Su Fengqu barely dared to close his eyes. He traveled five or six days without stopping, arriving at Yangguan City in only half the time. He hadn't even had time to treat his wounds, which is why he was in such a sorry state.
After revealing everything to Lu Yangyang, his anxious heart finally began to settle down.
Su Fengqu then realized that she had been overly nervous, and was still clutching Lu Yangyang's clothes with one hand.
He released his grip somewhat sheepishly, his eyes glistening with tears as he looked at Lu Yangyang, as if he had just escaped a calamity.
Lu Yangyang was thinking about what Su Fengqu had just said. If Su Fengqu hadn't lied or concealed anything, Qinghe Village would definitely be in great danger.
She didn't know what this matter had to do with Lu Wei. If it wasn't related to her aunt, the only other possible connection between Qinghe Village and Lu Wei was his father, who had abandoned his wife and children.
Lu Wei's father wasn't from Qinghe Village; he had fled there during a period of hardship. Because he was educated, he easily settled down and married Lu Wei's mother, whose family was relatively well-off at the time. Lu Wei's mother was an only child, and the original plan was for her to marry into the family. However, Lu Wei's father was educated and had no one to rely on in Qinghe Village; marrying him would mean staying in Qinghe Village and being able to care for his parents—it was practically the same as marrying into the family. So, both sides agreed and got married. Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. Not long after their marriage, Lu Wei's mother's parents died in an accident, and most of their savings were gone. Fortunately, Lu Wei's father was indeed a good student, and within a few years, he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. Just when it seemed Lu Wei's mother's good days were about to begin, she received a letter of divorce from her father, who then disappeared without a trace. The relatives disliked Lu's mother for her stubborn fate and for being divorced, so they cut off all contact with her. Lu's mother was strong-willed, and with the help of the village chief and the villagers, she managed to get through the difficult times with Lu Wei.
Later, when Lu's father was mentioned, everyone would curse him as a heartless man. Lu's mother insisted on forcing Lu Wei to study, hoping that one day she could see Lu's father and vent her anger.
But no one knows who Lu's father really is.
It's not impossible that such an unidentified person could one day bring a terrible disaster to Qinghe Village.
This is just Lu Yangyang's guess.
Another possibility is that Lu Wei offended someone in the capital, possibly Duke Xiao. But no matter how much he offended someone, it wouldn't make sense for him to cause trouble in Qinghe Village.
Lu Yangyang was also at a loss for what to do.
“I understand everything you’ve said. You can stay here without worry. I’ll have someone treat your wounds. I’ll go talk to my brother about it,” Lu Yangyang said to Su Fengqu.
She had to make a decision as soon as possible. Even if Su Fengqu had fled here as quickly as possible after hearing the news, three or four days would have passed. If this was true, she was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time, and Qinghe Village would suffer a disaster.
Regardless of who it was for, she grew up in Qinghe Village, and the people there had been kind to her; she had to find out the truth.
