In the dilapidated small courtyard in the alley, sounds of conversation echoed from the room.
But those voices were hoarse and jarring.
Inside the room, Lu Er and Little Liuzi knelt on the ground, faces full of shame.
Lu Xiu, lying on the bed, didn't look much better either.
"Er, Little Liu is young and ignorant, but have you also forgotten how our grandfather and father educated us?" Lu Xiu said, coughing hastily as his words came out in a rush, "Our grandfather taught us that a gentleman should not be driven by profit over righteousness, and how did you behave today?"
Without waiting for them to respond, Lu Xiu continued, "You sent Little Liuzi out to deceive people for money. Miss An is a kind person, so she doesn't hold it against you and is willing to help us. Miss An is magnanimous, but we must acknowledge our mistakes!"
