After hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Bai Luoluo and saw her shrinking her neck.
"Grandpa, I told you a long time ago that I have been pestering him. You still don't believe me. Moreover, we encountered robbers in the Yu'e Mountains. My feet were also injured while avoiding the robbers. If it weren't for Lu An Zai, I will be dead by now."
After hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan was shocked and hurriedly ordered to the side, "There are robbers in the Yu'e Mountains. Why don't you go quickly?"
The guards on the side quickly clasped their fists.
"Yes, Lord Prefect, my subordinates will lead people to suppress these bandits."
Bai Zhiyuan hummed, thought for a moment and then looked at Lu Xing'an.
"Lu An, now that our family's reputation has been ruined by you, you naturally have to take responsibility. I wonder if you would like to marry into my Bai family?"
The man in front of him is calm, and his temperament is not inferior to that of the children of the aristocratic family. If he can marry into his Bai family, he will definitely be even more powerful.
Lu Xingan raised his hands and bowed.
"The younger generation is willing to take responsibility, but the younger generation cannot join the Bai family. The younger generation also has parents and brothers at home. I'm afraid they won't agree."
Historically, a man would only choose to marry into another family when he was desperate. Now that his parents were still alive and his brother was still the chief minister, there was no reason to marry into another family.
When Bai Zhiyuan heard this, he immediately became unhappy.
"What? Do you think my Bai family is not worthy of you, a poor boy from a rural background?"
In order to keep a low profile, Lu Xingan wore extremely simple clothes, the kind of clothes that a slightly wealthier peasant family would wear. In addition, he did not wear anything valuable, so anyone who saw him would misunderstand him.
"Junior didn't mean this..."
"Then what do you mean? You want the granddaughter raised by me to go to the countryside with you to live a hard life?"
Seeing Bai Zhiyuan's cannibalistic expression, Bai Luoluo stood up quickly, took his arm and shook him.
"Grandpa, can you please stop being so harsh? We have something to discuss, right? I was the one chasing Lu An back then, and he was also implicated by me..."
"you shut up!"
Bai Zhiyuan rubbed his brows with a headache.
It is said that women cannot stay in college, but even before they leave the cabinet, their elbows have begun to turn outward.
After hearing this, Bai Luoluo quickly closed her mouth and looked at him with a cute face.
Bai Zhiyuan looked at Lu Xingan again.
"Where do you live? Who are the people in your family? What do they do? Can someone in your family who can talk to me come and talk to me?"
Lu Xing'an glanced at him and said quietly, "Our family... lives in the capital now."
"My parents are still alive at home. The eldest brother is the current chief minister Lu Xinghe, the second brother Lu Xingping is on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, the eldest sister-in-law is the princess of Heyue, whom His Majesty has personally granted, and there is a younger sister who is about the same age as Miss Bai. The personnel in the family are roughly That's it."
After the words fell, Bai Zhiyuan was shocked at first, and then suddenly chuckled after a moment.
"You said your eldest brother is the powerful chief minister?"
Lu Xingan nodded.
"Exactly."
Bai Zhiyuan said with determination, "As far as I know, the chief minister has only three brothers in his family, and there is no female child. Lu An, you have to draft your lies. Don't think that because your surname is Lu, you can casually become the chief minister. Due to the family relationship, I now doubt whether your identity as a judge is true or false."
"What the Lord Prefect said is very true. Brother Lu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't have relatives, especially the relatives of our chief minister. I have heard that although the chief minister is very capable, he has He is not a good-tempered person. If you let him know such words, you may not get any good results."
At this moment, a man led his entourage into the hall. He looked at Lu Xingan, who was wearing coarse clothes in front of him, with contempt in his eyes.
"Lu An, you are so poor and want to marry Luoluo. Are you still awake?"
When Bai Luoluo saw this, he immediately stood in front of Lu Xingan like a protector, "Li Yunge, this is our family's family matter, what are you doing here?"
Li Yunge looked at Bai Luoluo, who was standing in front of Lu Xingan, and felt strong jealousy in his heart.
"Luoluo, I don't mind what's going on between you and this Brother Lu. Our two families are well-matched. Why don't you marry me?"
Li Yunge is the second son of Si Qianshi, the Xuanwei envoy. He is Bai Luoluo's number one supporter on weekdays. He can be seen almost everywhere Bai Luoluo is.
But because this person is the youngest son in the family, he has been doted on by his elders since he was a child. He has a paranoid possessive desire for the things or people he wants.
Bai Luoluo looked at him coldly.
"Li Yunge, even if Lu An and I have nothing, I will not marry you."
Bai Zhiyuan didn't think much of this young descendant, otherwise he would have agreed to the marriage proposal of the Xuanwei Commissioner Si Qian's family.
"Master Li, this is a family matter of my Bai family. Please don't interfere, Master Li. We can talk about other things after I finish handling the family affairs."
Li Yunge clasped his fists.
"Okay, since Grandpa Bai has said so, I will wait for you to finish the matter."
After he finished speaking, he cast a provocative look at Lu Xing'an.
Lu Xing'an didn't take him seriously. He just looked at him calmly and took out a document from his bag.
"This is a document that my eldest brother personally stamped for me before departure because he was worried that I would be in trouble outside and had nowhere to turn for help. He also asked the prefect to have a look."
Bai Zhiyuan took the document handed over by Lu Xing'an and looked at it carefully. The official seal on it was correct. He looked at Lu Xing'an in surprise.
"Are you really the brother of Lord Chief Assistant?"
"My real name is Lu Xing'an, and Lu An is just my pseudonym when traveling abroad. If the prefect still doesn't believe me, you can send someone to the capital to inquire."
Lu Xingan looked magnanimous, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
When Bai Zhiyuan saw this, he immediately smiled and asked his servants to serve tea.
He has his own judgment. The young man in front of him is not telling lies. No wonder when he saw him for the first time, he felt that the coarse clothes on his body could not hide his temperament. The brother of Lord Chief Assistant was naturally different. Extraordinary.
"I'm sorry, my grandson-in-law, please sit down and talk." Bai Zhiyuan immediately became friendly.
Bai Luoluo looked at her grandfather's expression changing faster than turning the pages of a book, his forehead bulging, and then he looked at Lu Xing'an, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Isn't your name Lu An?"
Lu Xingan hummed.
"It would be more convenient to use a pseudonym when traveling. I'm sorry that I've been hiding this from you these days."
Bai Luoluo shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you are still you."
Lu Xing'an smiled slightly, first helped Bai Luoluo sit down, and then sat next to her.
When Li Yunge on the other side saw this, his face looked a little unsightly.
That kid is actually the biological brother of Lord Chief Assistant.
If he were an ordinary person, he could still deal with one or two, but the chief assistant was very protective of his own shortcomings, especially to his own family. If he laid a finger on Lu Xing'an, he would probably be dismembered.
He stood up with a gloomy look, said goodbye to Bai Zhiyuan and left.
