I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 355: Running in vain

Peng Lu thought of this and bowed to Leng Xian, saying, "My Lord, if you have any orders, I will do my best to obey you!"

Peng Lu's attitude pleased Leng Xian.

Leng Xian nodded slightly, "Then...you go now!"

"Ah?" Peng Lu was slightly stunned after hearing this. "My Lord, shouldn't we send a note first?"

"No need!

It's getting late now. If I hand in the note today, do I have to go to borrow money in broad daylight tomorrow?

Alas! After all, it is a shameful thing.

Let’s go now while the night is still here!”

"Then...then shall we set off for Prince Yu's mansion now?" Xu Lu looked at Leng Xian and asked.

Leng Xian nodded directly, "Well, let's go now!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Peng Lu stood up, bowed to Leng Xian, turned around and walked out of the house.

Standing in the yard, Peng Lu looked back with disdain, shook his head, and thought: The Marquis is going to be shameless to the end!

Well, I have been working in this marquis' mansion for quite a few years.

Today will be my last time to serve the Marquis Qinxing Mansion!

Peng Lu thought about it and walked towards his house.

When Peng Lu walked into the room, he saw Lu Jie'en still sitting at the eight-immortals table, holding a small wine jar in one hand and an empty wine glass with his other hand supporting his head.

Peng Lu took two quick steps to the table, took the small jar of wine from Lu Jie'en's hand, and put it aside.

It was obvious that not a drop of wine was left in the small jar since Lu Jie'en drank it all!

However, the braised meat snacks on the eight-immortals table remained untouched.

Lu Jie'en closed his eyes, I wonder what he was thinking?

Or was he already so drunk that he was almost asleep.

Peng Lu took the empty wine glass and put it down in the same way.

Lu Jien put his hands on the table and looked at Peng Lu with his drunken eyes. "You're back?"

The fact that he asked this question meant that Lu Jie'en was not drunk and unconscious.

"Yes, I'm back." Peng Lu responded and sat down at the table.

"How?" Lu Jie'en asked again.

"Haha..." Peng Lu laughed sarcastically, "Just like what Brother Lu said before, the Marquis was calculating for money, and when he couldn't get the eldest lady, he got the eldest lady's fiancé!"

As he spoke, Peng Lu reached out and took another jar of wine, took his own and Lu Jie'en's wine glasses, filled both glasses, placed one of the glasses in front of Lu Jie'en, and picked up his own glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Jie'en looked at the wine in front of him, but didn't drink it. Instead, he looked up at Peng Lu again.

Peng Lu and Lu Jien looked at each other, "The Marquis ordered me to go to Prince Yu's mansion now."

"Then you..." Lu Jie'en looked at Peng Lu and asked.

Peng Lu chuckled, "I am still the accountant of the Marquis' Mansion, am I not?

The master's family has tribes, and the accountant must always obey orders, right?

It's just a trip to Prince Yu's Palace."

As he spoke, Peng Lu turned his head and looked outside the door. "It's night time now. I don't even want to take a carriage. It's nice to just go out for a walk!" As he spoke, he picked up the small wine jar and filled his glass.

Lu Jien looked at Peng Lu, "Are you planning to...really go to Prince Yu's mansion to borrow money?"

"Haha..." Peng Lu sneered, "What if I go? What if I don't go?

It's just a wasted trip, just think of it as going out for a walk!" After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Putting down the cup, Peng Lu looked at Lu Jie'en, "Brother Lu, I haven't told the Marquis that I want to resign and leave the Marquis' Mansion.

I’m afraid… to say it out loud at this time…”

Although Peng Lu didn't finish the rest of his words, Lu Jie'en understood.

Lu Jien nodded slowly, “This is best!

Let’s wait until tomorrow morning!

After daybreak, you should leave the house and fly away!"

Brother Lu, Peng Lu looked at Lu Jien and said earnestly, “Listen to my advice, it is unfortunate for the old marquis’ family to have such children and grandchildren.

Brother Lu, you have been keeping the promise of the Marquis Qinxing Mansion on behalf of the old marquis... but you don't have to keep it anymore!

I believe that the old marquis’ spirit in heaven can understand Lu Ge’s difficulties.

There is really no need to stay here any longer!"

Lu Jien raised his red eyes, looked at Peng Lu, and shook his head gently, "The Marquis is such an unfilial son!

But, fortunately, there is still a legitimate daughter in the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion!

The eldest lady...maybe she is the real hope of the Marquis' Mansion!

I will guard this mansion for the old marquis!

Guard the young lady!

As long as the young lady is here, I can't leave!"

"But the eldest lady...is a girl after all.

Now she is only engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Yu;

Even if the eldest daughter has married into Prince Yu's mansion and become Prince Yu's Consort, so what?

As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled!

Then it has nothing to do with the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion!

What is Brother Lu guarding?" Peng Lu was puzzled.

"You do not understand!

No matter what, I will guard this mansion for the old marquis!"

After Lu Jie'en finished speaking, he reached out and took the small wine jar next to Peng Lu, poured himself some wine, and said, "Aren't you going to Prince Yu's mansion?

Then go ahead and take a trip!

If we destroy the Marquis's last hope, let's see what he can do next?"

Peng Lu thought about it and nodded helplessly, "Okay, then I'll go.

Haha! My face is not worth anything anyway!"

He stood up and walked out of the house without saying anything else.
