Being Chased Out Of The Compound~

After understanding the ins and outs of the situation, Lady Lu's face turned black. She swept her dagger-like gaze across Lu Ao and the housekeeper, before speaking to Shao Qian in an awkward manner. "This… Gongzi. The foolish me has taught my son improperly, I hope you can understand and look past this matter."

"Milady is being too courteous." Shao Qian smiled. "Lu Ao is honest and straightforward. I got along with him quite well for these past two days."

Hearing this, Lady Lu smiled gently. However, her smiling expression disappeared as she looked towards Lu Ao with a frown. "In the end, this son [1] of mine has been spoiled by his father. I hope that this Gongzi can be magnanimous and look past his sins."

"Of course, I won't blame anyone." Shao Qian glanced at Lu Ao, his eyes filled with profound meaning before he laughed. "Lu Ao didn't do it intentionally. And after interacting with him, I found him quite likable."

Hearing those words, Lady Lu's facial expression changed, however, the smile was immediately back in place as she spoke to Shao Qian, "Since the foolish me has already returned, I naturally won't let him be as headstrong and reckless anymore. This Gongzi can rest here for a while. I will get someone to seng this Gongzi back to his residence tomorrow."

Shao Qian arched an eyebrow upon hearing this. He was being driven out? As expected, it really isn't easy to accept one's son liking a man.

"Mother, who said Qing Xuan wanted to leave?" Lu Ao walked over and stood in front of Shao Qian. "He is the partner I set my mind on. No one is allowed to chase him out."

"Lu Ao." Madame Lu glowered angrily. "I see that you have really been spoiled rotten by your father."

"..." Lord Lu, who had been continuously blamed unjustly, had a bitter face on. When did he ever take care of this boy? Normally, wasn't it his wife that would dote severely on this eldest son?

"Mother, at that time it was you who said it. If and when I ever meet someone who makes my heart skip a beat, even if it is by unscrupulous methods, I must seize them." Lu Ao answered with a angry face. "Qing Xuan is my beloved person. In this life of mine, I only want to be with him. I can only be with him."

"You… Get out from my sight." Lady Lu threw a decorative water jar that was by the side towards Lu Ao. Carrying Shao Qian, Lu Ao hurriedly dodged it. However, although he was able to dodge the jar, he wasn't able to dodge the water.

Lu Ao blocked most of it from Shao Qian. In a matter of a moments, his entire back was splashed wet with water. He hugged Shao Qian and immediately ran outside. "Mother, I'll follow Qing Xuan to the Bai compound first. When your anger has subsided after a few days, I'll bring Qing Xuan back again."

"Leave and don't come back again." Although Lady Lu raised a hue and cry, she didn't take any other action.

"Why did you chase him away?" Based on his wife's personality, Lord Lu firmly believed that she would beat Lu Ao half to death. Who knew that she would simply chase him out? Chasing him out like this, wouldn't it be just like letting a bird fly freely in the wide, open sky?

"As long as your son has someone who wants him, then it's fine." Towards her son, Lady Lu really felt her heart shatter. After reading the housekeeper's message that he had finally snatched one with much difficulty, she had thought that what was done was done. If that lady didn't accept, then she would make her accept. Who would've known that the one this brought back was a Gongzi…

There was no personal integrity to speak about amongst men. Even if she were to tie him up and send him to her son's bed, if he desired to leave, then he would leave. Furthermore, if the matter were to be spread outside, did their Lu family even want to still have a foothold in the world?

Moreover, based on the few questions she had just asked, that good-looking Gongzi most likely didn't have any favourable impression towards her son. Then wouldn't it be best for her son to share life's joys and sorrow with that Gongzi, which would eventually lead to a harmonious relationship between them?

One has no choice but to say: Milady, you think too far into the future. You totally didn't at all consider what sort of predicament the two peniless men — that you personally drove out — would be having.

After leaving the Lu residence, Lu Ao became listless. His head drooped, as if it wished to fall onto the ground and from time to time, his eyes would drift to look at the expression of the person next to him.

"What are you looking at me for?" With a smile yet not a smile, Shao Qian looked towards Lu Ao and questioned.

"Qing Xuan, I'm now homeless." Lu Ao looked pathetically at Shao Qian. "You said that your Bai residence is lacking a Di wife?"

"I'll write a letter to inform my parents." Shao Qian walked forward at a slow pace, waiting until Lu Ao caught up to his side before reaching and entwining their fingers together. "It's such a nice time of the year right now. Wouldn't it be nice if the two of us went travelling?"

"Of course." Lu Ao held Shao Qian's hand tightly and grinned happily. However, he instantly remembered that he had been chased out of his home, moreover, it looked like he hadn't brought any silver along with him. In a split second, his face became bitter. "Qing Xuan, we don't have any silver."

Shao Qian was about to suggest finding a pawnshop to sell some things when he heard the sound of a horse running from behind them.

Shao Qian and Lu Ao turned around and saw a robust, black horse trotting over. Lu Ao was pleasantly surprised upon seeing the horse. "Heizi (黑子), you came to find me?"

As there was a cloth bag on the saddle, the horse had obviously been sent over by someone. "Someone in the residence probably sent it over."

"Most likely my fourth uncle." Lu Ao grabbed the cloth bag from atop the saddle and opened it. Seeing the food, clothes and money that were inside it, his face lit up with joy. "We have money now."

"When we return in the future, thank Mother properly." If Lady Lu hadn't allowed anything to be sent to Lu Ao, it was likely that the horse wouldn't even be able to leave the gates.

"Of course." Lu Ao kept the money properly, hanging the cloth bag on the horse before speaking to Shao Qian. "Qing Xuan, you sit in front."

Shao Qian didn't have any objections, immediately flipping himself onto the horse. After that, Lu Ao also flipped himself onto it. His hands hesitantly reached for Shao Qian's waist, however, even after half a day of trying, he still didn't dare to really embrace the other person.

Shao Qian directly pulled the other's hands, guiding them to encircle his own waist. He pulled on the reins, using his legs to urge the horse forward. The horse released a whinny before it started to run quickly.

Lu Ao hugged Shao Qian tightly. His beloved person's waist was really slender. Such a slender waist… He was afraid that it would break the moment he uses even a tiny bit of force.

After they left the city, Shao Qian referred to the system's map and directed them towards Shandong city.

"Qing Xuan, where are we going?" They were headed towards the south, where the Bai residence was located. Didn't they just agree that they wouldn't return to the Bai residence at the moment though?

"Travel around the South." According to the current period, there was still two more years before the martial arts competition. And as the both of them didn't have anything they needed to do, they might as well go about travelling.

"That's nice." Towards this plan, Lu Ao was very pleased. It would be the same no matter where he went. So long as Qing Xuan was by his side, even if it was to the ends of the earth, he would still be willing to go

On the way, Shao Qian sent a letter to the Bai family. Within the letter, he had explained his situation in great detail, putting great emphasis on the fact that it was Lu Ao who had saved his life when he was captured. Furthermore, he had also specifically mentioned that he had wanted to see whether the world was the same as what was depicted in the books after he heard his little brother's words.

Lord Bai had been searching frantically for his son, but upon receiving the letter and seeing the familiar handwriting report that he was safe, he let out a sigh of relief. Who would've known that the moment he saw the contents on the back, he was angered to the point where he nearly fainted.

This... This was the greatest outrage! He actually dared to collude with outsiders and intended on claiming his Di brother's life. His heart can plot, his actions can kill.

Lord Bai, who was in the middle of wanting to beat up his three sons, directly overlooked Shao Qian's last sentence. Lu Ao's and his relationship is very harmonious. This kind of 'tying the knot' words.

Throughout the two years where Shao Qian and Lu Ao were outside, they would always send a letter to their families every two months in order to affirm their well-being. Within these two years, they had practically walked across the entire southern area.

The past two years passed in the blink of an eye. Upon receiving the news that several people have began assembling in Shandong city, Shao Qian and Lu Ao also turned around and begun to head there.

Lord Lu and Lady Lu had already arrived at Shandong city around a month ago. At that time when they had chased their foolish son out, he really didn't come home for two whole years. Fortunately, Qing Xuan had the heart to send them letters to affirm their well-being. If it wasn't so, it was likely that they would have already ordered for his capture.

Unknowingly, Shao Qian had won over several people in the Lu family.

Over on the other side, Shao Qian and Lu Ao had barely set foot into Shandong city before they were instantly captured by the Lu family's guards who had been keeping watch by the city's gates.

"Boy, you really have some nerves." Lady Lu stepped forward and threw a strike towards the back of Lu Ao's head. "You actually dared to not return home or send any news for two years."

"Wasn't it you who made me leave?" Lu Ao felt wronged. Previously, it had been his mother who chased him out. And now, it was also his mother reprimanding him for not coming home or sending any news. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. This saying really wasn't wrong.

"It's better if you speak lesser." Shao Qian knocked the other's head with a fan. After that, he cupped his fist in his hand and greeted Lady Lu and Lord Lu with a smile, "Uncle. Auntie. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Good child." Lady Lu honestly felt that her foolish son had inconvenienced someone else's well-behaved child. That's why when she faced Shao Qian, she would have a sincere genial expression, her eyes shining with love.

"Elder brother Bai. I haven't seen you for a long time." After two years, Lu Ning Er had also grown up to become a woman. Due to that, there were even more youths who started visiting the Lu residence for various reasons, hoping that they could be in the beauty's good graces.
