Chapter 1867: Arriving at the Pan Residence

At this moment, Lu Sanzhu felt that his niece wasn't very clever. She didn't understand the psychology of people like them, small fry in the grand scheme of things.

He clapped his hands and spoke confidently.

"Of course, it's to show off that your Grand Aut has a powerful backing. Let Chen Bing know that your Grand Aunt has wealthy and influential relatives, and she'll be living a good life in the future. People like us are something he can only dream of having a relationship with but can never achieve. Let him regret, regret to the point where his intestines turn green, regretting his past decisions. It's a psychological blow to him, got it?"

Shu Yu suddenly understood, realizing they were going to Versailles, showing off. Got it.

Grandma Lu, who had just come out, heard this and clapped her hands decisively. "Old Third is right. Even if you don't have money, you should still display the aura of wealth. Chen Bing cares most about money."

Shu Yu muttered, "...As long as you're happy."

Lu Sanzhu was satisfied. He looked back at his younger brother and two nephews, who were dressed quite casually, and sighed. Indeed, this family still relied on him.

He cleared his throat and began giving orders. "And you all, go change your clothes, into nice ones, expensive ones. Look like wealthy young gentlemen."

Shu Rui and Er Niu exchanged glances and obediently went back to their rooms.

But Lu Erbai seemed quite troubled.

Lu Sanzhu walked up to him, frowned, and said, "Second Brother, hurry up and change. Let me tell you, the two of us are the most important. We're Auntie's blood nephews, the closest to her. We need to help her save face."

Lu Er Bai agreed with this sentiment, but he really didn't have the kind of... wealthy, showy clothes that Lu Sanzhu was wearing.

He usually worked with wood, so he quickly became covered in sawdust. So, he preferred comfortable and affordable clothes.

Of course, he did have a few nice outfits, but those were of good quality and classic style. In other words, they were understated luxury and not the flashy kind Lu Sanzhu was going for.

Lu Sanzhu sighed deeply and directed Ying Xi, "Go buy the most expensive outfit for our Second Brother at the nearby ready-made clothing store."

Ying Xi looked at Lu Erbai, who hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Suppressing the urge to roll her eyes, Shu Yu said to Ying Xi, "Buy something like the one Master Yang wore last time. High-quality and well-fitted should be enough."

Ying Xi left, and Grandma Lu also took Grandma Fang back to their room.

Having a good number of nice clothes, Grandma Lu brought a few sets with her this time, enough for herself and Grandma Fang.

When everyone stood in the courtyard, freshly dressed, they truly looked like members of a wealthy household.

Shu Yu hadn't changed her outfit; she still wore her usual clothes. However, her aura was imposing, even in ordinary attire, preventing anyone from underestimating her.

Ying Xi draped a cloak over her shoulders, shook it lightly, and just standing there made her the center of attention.

Lu Sanzhu's eyes widened. Why hadn't he thought of that? He should have found a cloak for himself too. What a miscalculation.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time for him to go buy one. Shu Yu and her group boarded the carriage and headed straight for the Ten Li Lane.

The current Changjin Prefecture appeared a bit quieter compared to when Shu Yu had last come. It could be due to the fact that it wasn't the time for the provincial exams, or perhaps it was due to the recent turmoil. Either way, the carriage journey went smoothly.

After about twenty minutes, the carriage arrived at the Pan residence located in the western part of the city.
