Heavenly Divine Doctor: Abandoned Concubine Chapter 108 - Seeking An Audience (2)

Chapter 108 – Seeking An Audience (2)
The Xu family mansion was not far from the Lu family’s. Initially, the Lu family had no mansion built in this neighborhood.
Naturally, the families surrounding them were rich and noble. Although the Lu family had silvers before, as they were merchants, they could not buy a large house in this area at all without the help of the Emperor.
In less than half an hour, they had arrived in the Xu family’s humble abode.
When the doorman heard of their arrival, he did not invite them in immediately but asked them to wait a moment before turning around to inform Xu Lao, the master of the house.
Lu Xiangzhi whispered to Lu Lingzhi, “Eldest brother, this Xu Lao hates audience I heard. Will he see us?”
“Xu Lao has erratic behavior. Even if he does not see us today, we can ask for another visit.” Lu Lingzhi said with a reassuring smile.
However, Lu Xiangzhi did not think so. He felt that the man won’t entertain them. Anyway, he didn’t expect to be a student of Xu Lao.
Ye Zhen looked up at them. She didn’t think Lu Lingzhi really wanted to take Lu Xiangzhi to visit Xu Lao to be his teacher. Xu Lao was a very stubborn person and always looked down on people.
From the moment she died in his hands, Ye Zhen came to recognize what type of person Lu Lingzhi is. He didn’t come here just for the benefit of Lu Xiangzhi. He came with a motive, she was sure of this.
As a loyal subordinate of the Emperor, Lu Lingzhi came to find Xu Lao presumably to persuade him to return to the imperial palace.
What Mo Rongzhan lacked most was a great scholar like Xu Lao, who could be respected by students all over the world. If Xu Lao becomes his minister, it would be easier for Mo Rongzhan to widen his scope of power if he desires so.
She remembered from her memory when she was a confined ghost in the palace that Lu Lingzi succeeded in making Xu Lao return in the imperial palace, therefore gaining the ultimate trust of the Emperor.
However, that should be a year from now, not at the time being.
Before long, the doorman came out and said politely that the old man was entertaining other guests as of the moment. Come back another day, he told them.
Lu Lingzhi was somewhat disappointed. Although he had already known this would happen, Xu Lao really did not give him face.
At his side, Lu Xiangzhi looked mournful as well. The boy really had such a sensitive heart.
Ye Zhen glanced at the doorman and suddenly said with a charming voice, “Sir, please tell Mister Xu that we are here to break his chess game, not to ask him for anything else.”
The doorman was visibly stunned. “Please wait a moment, miss.”
After he left, Lu Lingzhi looked at Ye Zhen curiously, “How do you know about Xu Lao’s chess game?”
Even he didn’t know about this. How did Yao Yao know?
“I certainly have a way to know.” Ye Zhen snorted proudly. At the beginning, her father won against Xu Lao in a chess game. As a result, Xu Lao thought for two years how to break her father’s encirclement and killing method.
Now that her father is gone, Xu Lao will probably want to find a solution.
Lu Xiangzhi gave her a flick on the forehead. “Mister Shan must have told you. What if you can’t break Xu Lao’s chess game later?”
“I said I was here to break his chess game, but I didn’t say I could definitely break it.” Ye Zhen pouted while rubbing her forehead.
Lu Lingzhi chuckled and looked at Ye Zhen gently. “The third sister is very clever to think of this excuse.”
“Yes, I am brilliant.” Ye Zhen looked at him and answered.
At this moment, the doorman came out again and asked Ye Zhen to enter.
Lu Lingzhi was surprised to find that Mister Xu would really see them.
It seemed that Mister Shan really knows a lot.
