Chapter 139 Undercurrent
When Lu Tianyu returned to Piaoxianglou, he was greeted by a familiar and warm atmosphere as soon as he entered the door. Seeing her brother's tired face, Lu Tingyan felt a pain in her heart and quickly told the shopkeeper Uncle Zhang: "Uncle Zhang, go get someone to prepare hot water so that my eldest brother can take a good bath. He hasn't even had a bath these two days." Her voice was full of heartache and concern, and her eyes were shining with determination.
Zhang Liang did not dare to be negligent and immediately ordered the waiter, "Xiao Zhao, bring hot water to Xuanting Pavilion."
After a while, someone came hurriedly into Lu Tianyu's room carrying a wooden bucket and hot water. Lu Tingyan stood at the door, personally supervising the busy figures of the guys. After making sure everything was ready, she whispered to Lu Tianyu, "Brother, you should take a bath first. I asked them to prepare the best spices and herbs to relieve fatigue and calm your mind. After you take a bath, I will ask the kitchen to send some hot meals over, and you can have a good rest."
Lu Tianyu looked at his sister's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He smiled slightly, patted the back of Lu Tingyan's hand gently, and said softly: "Yan'er, you have worked hard. It's great to have you here."
Lu Tingyan's eyes slightly reddened when she heard this, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall, and said with a forced smile: "Brother, what are you talking about? We are a family and should support each other."
Lu Tianyu nodded, walked into the bathroom, and enjoyed the comfort brought by the warm hot water. He closed his eyes and felt the water flowing through his body, taking away the fatigue and stress of his body. He knew that his sister's care and concern were selfless, and she always gave him support and encouragement when he needed it most.
After Lu Tianyu entered the bathroom, Lu Tingyan turned to Jun Moyuan and said, "Brother Yuan, you must be tired too, right? Why don't you go to the side room and rest for a while? I'll call you when you come out of the shower."
Jun Moyuan shook his head gently, with a doting smile on his face, and said softly: "No, I'm not tired. But you, you've been busy all the time, it's time to take a break. I'll wait here, go eat something and have a good rest."
After hearing this, Lu Tingyan felt warm in her heart, but she still asked with some concern: "Is it really not necessary? I can wait with you."
Jun Moyuan touched her head and smiled gently: "Silly girl, go and have a rest, I'll just wait here."
Lu Tingyan couldn't persuade him, so she nodded, her eyes full of gratitude. She knew that Jun Moyuan was always like this, silently guarding them and giving them the most solid support.
She turned and left, her steps light and cheerful. Every step seemed to be on the clouds, because she knew that there was someone who would always protect her and her family, making them feel endless warmth and security.
Jun Moyuan sat there quietly, watching Lu Tingyan's back with gentle eyes. His eyes were full of affection and determination, as if he would appear by her side at any time as long as she needed him.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom, accompanied by a faint herbal fragrance. Lu Tianyu was finally able to relax and enjoy this rare quiet time. Lu Tingyan personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous dinner for her brother, including his favorite steamed fish, braised pork, and several light and delicious vegetarian dishes, which were perfectly matched and nutritious.
When Lu Tianyu walked out of the bathroom, he was refreshed and all his fatigue was gone. Seeing the steaming food on the table, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He sat at the table, picked up his chopsticks, tasted every dish, and praised it highly. Lu Tingyan and Jun Moyuan watched him eat with relish, and both had gratified smiles on their faces.
"Brother, try these dishes. They are all your favorite." Lu Tingyan picked up a piece of fish and put it in Lu Tianyu's bowl.
Lu Tianyu took a bite and praised: "Well, it tastes really good. My sister really understands me."
The family sat around the table, eating and chatting. Lu Tingyan asked with concern: "Brother, how did you feel about the exam? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Lu Tianyu put down his bowl and chopsticks and said seriously: "The test questions this time were quite smooth, but the competition was also fierce. But I believe in my ability and should be able to get good results."
After hearing what Lu Tianyu said, Lu Tingyan's worries were slightly relieved. She looked at Lu Tianyu with a smile, her eyes full of trust and encouragement: "Brother, you have been working hard, and we all see your efforts. I believe in you, and you will definitely pass the imperial examination this time."
Jun Moyuan also echoed, "Brother, we are all very worried about you. After all, the competition on the road to the imperial examination is fierce, and it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions. However, fortunately, you have foresight and kept an eye on it, so those villains did not succeed."
Lu Tianyu gently patted Jun Moyuan's shoulder and said gratefully: "Ayuan, thank you and Yan'er for your concern. This incident has indeed made me more vigilant, but it also made me see your support and concern. With you around, I feel at ease."
After hearing this, Lu Tingyan was still a little angry and said, "These people are so abominable. Didn't they study hard for ten years just to be able to take the imperial examination and realize their ambitions one day? They actually framed others for their own selfish interests. It's really unforgivable."
Seeing this, Lu Tianyu quickly comforted her: "Sister, don't be angry. Although their behavior is shameful, we can't lose our principles and demeanor because of it. I believe that as long as we work hard enough and are good enough, we will be able to defeat those villains and realize our dreams."
Jun Moyuan also nodded in agreement: "Brother is right, we can't be defeated by these villains."
After listening to Lu Tingyan's indignant words, Lu Tianyu's eyes flashed with determination, and then he turned to Jun Moyuan and said in a steady tone: "A Yuan, you are right, we can't let this kind of thing affect our mentality and plans. However, just in case, and to give myself an explanation, I think it is necessary to find out the truth behind this frame-up."
Jun Moyuan nodded and looked serious. "Don't worry, brother. Leave this to me. I'll ask Zhang Liang to check and see who is behind this. If they dare to attack us, we have to let them know that we are not easy to mess with."
After saying that, Jun Moyuan stood up and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Lu Tingyan quickly grabbed his sleeve and said with concern: "A Yuan, you have to be careful and don't let yourself be involved in danger."
Jun Moyuan turned around and gave Lu Tingyan a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, Sister Yan'er, I will pay attention. Besides, with Zhang Liang here, he is good at gathering intelligence, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Lu Tianyu also patted Jun Moyuan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Ah Yuan, I believe in your ability. I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out the truth and clear my name."
After dinner, Lu Tianyu leaned on the couch, closed his eyes and rested, enjoying this rare tranquility and comfort. Lu Tingyan made a pot of hot tea for him and placed it on the table carefully, fearing to disturb him.
Jun Moyuan then ordered Zhang Liang to investigate the person behind the framing of Lu Tianyu.
However, under this warmth and peace, undercurrents are quietly surging. Gu Quan and Zhao Lei's conspiracy did not end because of this, but became more vicious and cruel because of this failure. They are secretly planning a more fatal attack, vowing to make Lu Tianyu pay a painful price.
