After Lu Fan left, he arrived at Tianquan Villa. Uncle Fu sat in a chair, sipping a cup of clear tea, his hair completely white.
At this moment, Uncle Fu was radiant and seemed much more relaxed. The events of eighteen years ago were finally resolved, and Lu Fan had become a powerful figure. His greatest wish had finally been fulfilled before his death.
"Uncle Fu, why are you sitting outside alone?"
Lu Fan walked in, a smile on his face. He was the sole survivor of the Lu family, and Lu Fan had always regarded Uncle Fu as family.
"Young Master, what brings you here?" Uncle Fu quickly got up, showing more deference to Lu Fan.
"I've come specifically to deliver medicine today," Lu Fan said with a light laugh, producing a pill. "This is a special concoction I've refined, which can extend your lifespan."
"I'm already at this age; living longer isn't that important," Uncle Fu said with satisfaction. "The great revenge of the Lu family has been avenged, and I am content!"
"Uncle Fu, you mustn't say that!" Lu Fan offered another pill. "In this world, you are my closest kin. If you don't live a few more years, how can you witness my growth!"
"Young Master..." Uncle Fu's voice choked up. "This old servant..."
Lu Fan waved his hand, not letting Uncle Fu continue. "Uncle Fu, there's no need for further words. As for what comes next, I will handle it!"
"I've already sent people to inquire, and there is indeed a Jinguang Martial Arts Hall in Chuzhou," Uncle Fu said solemnly. "What the five great families said may not be groundless!"
"Rest assured, Uncle Fu. After the Spring Festival, I will personally go to Chuzhou!" Lu Fan's expression was serious.
The destruction of the Lu family eighteen years ago was inextricably linked to Du Qiuan, and Lu Fan was determined to uncover the truth.
After a brief exchange, Lu Fan left Tianquan Villa. The Spring Festival was fast approaching, and he had to busy himself with purchasing New Year's goods in the coming days.
After Lu Fan's departure, Old Zhao came to Uncle Fu's side. "The Young Master truly has filial piety, specially delivering medicine!"
"Although the Young Master is powerful, he is too benevolent," Uncle Fu shook his head. "This is not a good thing."
"Uncle Fu speaks wisely. The Young Master spared the other three great families. I wonder if it will bring trouble upon himself later," Old Zhao nodded. "After all, no matter what, those three great families have some foundation." Su Dan Novel Network
"Since it is the Young Master's will, we shall comply."
Uncle Fu waved his hand. "With the Young Master's current strength, those few families are not worth fearing."
Old Zhao nodded slightly and said no more. Since Uncle Fu had spoken, he naturally wouldn't defy him.
Leaving Tianquan Villa, Lu Fan returned to Tianfu Courtyard. Several luxury cars were parked outside the courtyard, and servants were busy unloading items, appearing in an endless stream.
When Lu Fan entered the villa, he saw everyone led by Steward Wu.
"Everyone, be quick and careful not to bump anything," Steward Wu directed. "These were carefully selected by the Family Head!"
Lin Ke stood aside, looking somewhat helpless. Upon seeing Lu Fan, she approached him. "Brother Lu Fan, these are from the Lin family in Jiangbei! But I don't want them."
"It's alright. Since your father sent them, just accept them!" Lu Fan smiled. "No matter what, you are his daughter. As a prominent figure in Jiangbei, these items are nothing to him!"
"What the young man says is indeed true!" Steward Wu nodded. "These items are nothing to the Lin family! This time, the Family Head specifically sent me here not only to deliver gifts but also to make a request."
"Please speak freely!" Lu Fan said directly. "Are you asking for Lin Ke to return to Jiangbei?"
"Whether Miss Lin wants to return, we servants dare not presume!" Steward Wu said earnestly. "However, there is a custom in Jiangbei for descendants to return home for ancestral worship before the New Year. We hope Miss can accompany this old servant!"
"Is this Lin Aotian's intention?" Lu Fan glanced. "I was also planning to go. Since it's for ancestral worship, I will go with him!"
"This..." Steward Wu frowned slightly. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to accompany Lin Ke.
"If Steward Wu feels it's inappropriate, then I won't go to Jiangbei!" Lin Ke stated directly. "After so many years, I've managed on my own."
"Since the young lady commands, how dare we disobey!" Steward Wu clasped his fists. "I have come to welcome the young lady!"
Lin Ke nodded, saying no more. She didn't feel particularly close to Steward Wu.
Granny Guihua arranged a room for Steward Wu and prepared a lavish meal. Granny Guihua was quite hospitable to Steward Wu and the others, who were members of the Lin family.
After so many years of relying on each other with Lin Ke, Granny Guihua found comfort in the thought that Lin Ke could now find her family and personally attend the ancestral worship.
"Grandmother, I will be going to Jiangbei tomorrow," Lin Ke announced. "Will you come with me?"
"You are going for ancestral worship, how can I go?" Granny Guihua shook her head. "I still have many things to do. The Osmanthus stall's business has been booming recently."
"If Grandmother doesn't plan to go, then I won't go either!" Lin Ke said stubbornly. "During the Spring Festival, if Grandmother is alone at home, how can I be at ease!"
"What is there to worry about for an old woman like me?" Granny Guihua smiled. "You must not cause any trouble when you go for ancestral worship this time."
"Rest assured, Grandmother, I will accompany him!" Lu Fan chuckled. "Nothing will happen! No matter where we go, as long as the three of us are together, even the greatest of difficulties can be overcome!"
"But..." Granny Guihua appeared hesitant. She didn't wish to go to Jiangbei, at least not in her opinion, the Lin family of Jiangbei was not a place she belonged.
"Granny, since the young lady intends for you to go, why don't you accompany her!" Steward Wu smiled. "This way, the young lady will have a companion and won't be so lonely. After the ancestral worship, whether the young lady wishes to stay in Jiangbei or return, we will respect her decision."
"Grandmother, please go with me!" Lin Ke pleaded.
"Alright, then I will accompany you!" Granny Guihua seemed to have made up her mind, her tone becoming somewhat firmer.
Lin Ke was overjoyed. Granny Guihua had always been stubborn, and if it weren't for her earnest persuasion, Granny Guihua might not have agreed.
The next morning, Lu Fan and the others set off for Jiangbei in the Lin family's luxury cars. As Lin Ke gazed at the ceaseless flow of people, a sense of emotion flickered in her eyes.
For so many years, she had depended on Granny Guihua. Now, returning to the Lin family in Jiangbei, she wondered what changes had occurred.
After all, she knew that the Lin family was far from simple. As a prominent family in Jiangbei, the waters were likely deep. A young girl like her going to the Lin family might not be able to handle it.
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side!" Lu Fan smiled. "No matter what happens, I will protect you well! I will never let you be harmed."
