Lu Xiu was very careful, precisely because of this, An Ning speculated that the matter for which he wanted help was definitely not trivial.
Therefore, when she took the paper from his hand, An Ning was sowhat hesitant.
But ultimately, she still took it.
Kind and upright people can easily leave a good impression, and the Lu brothers were exactly like this, especially Lu Xiu.
Moreover, he said whether to help or not should be up to her, not forcing her, and this very non-compulsive request only stirred more empathy from others.
At this mont, An Ning deeply felt this.
She opened that ordinary paper, yet her hands felt extrely heavy.
However, the more she looked, the more uncomfortable An Ning felt.
Finally, when she finished reading, mist had unconsciously gathered in her eyes.
Turning her head, An Ning wiped the corner of her eyes with her sleeve and asked Lu Xiu, "How do you want to help you?"
An Ning actually knew in her heart that on her own, she was just as helpless as they were.
Therefore, the help he wanted was not really from her, but from Sikong Wuyou.
Sure enough, Lu Xiu suddenly knelt on the ground and spoke, candidly without any concealnt, "A few days ago, Lu Er saw people from the War Prince Residence going to the County Office, so we suspect that Lord County Magistrate must have so connection with the War Prince Residence. Lu Xiu would like to ask Miss An for help in presenting the statent paper to Lord County Magistrate."
"Then why don’t you give it yourself?" Sikong Wuyou had co several tis, and they often traversed the county, lacking no opportunity to see Sikong Wuyou. Furthermore, they could perfectly go through legitimate channels to file a grievance by beating the drum.
"Lu Xiu dares not hide from Miss An. We brothers also went to the local County Office to file grievances, but the people at the governnt office beat us and drove us out, even threatening us, saying if we caused trouble again we’d be thrown into prison. Later, we were ostracized everywhere locally, truly unable to survive, which is why we ca begging all the way here..." Originally, he only wanted to raise a few younger brothers, leaving a trace of bloodline for the Lu Family.
As for vengeance, it’s not that he didn’t want it, but was powerless.
However, upon knowing that Lord County Magistrate had connections with the War Prince Residence, the desire for revenge, suppressed deep in his heart, gradually reerged.
The Lu Family, too tragic!
Not avenging this hatred, life would be worse than death.
Therefore, he could only thick-skinnedly ask An Ning for help.
Lu Xiu continued, "Lu Xiu does not know what the exact relationship between Lord County Magistrate and the War Prince Residence is, nor whether he can contend with those villains, hence wanting Miss An to co forward..."
Thus, it was also to probe a bit, in order to pull back in ti.
If the County Magistrate’s influence was not as great as theirs, the matter of revenge could only be postponed.
But if they filed the complaint themselves, no matter what, the County Office would have to take the case, then if Lord County Magistrate’s power was less than others, whether to help or not would be inappropriate.
An Ning understood Lu Xiu’s aning as well, "You can rise, I promise to help you forward the statent paper to him, but only that."
An Ning deeply knew that one cannot judge matters based solely on one-sided words.
Wuyou, though a County Magistrate, with the War Prince Residence, need not fear a Magistrate.
If everything written on this statent paper is true, Wuyou as County Magistrate, being the master for the people is his duty.
But the truth of the matter still needs investigating, An Ning absolutely will not interfere with his official business.
