I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 354: The person is in front of you, but your heart is outside

Peng Lu thought that if the eldest daughter had not been protected by the Anguo Mansion, the remaining shops and farms would probably have fallen into the hands of this group of hungry "family members".

At this point, Peng Lu would rather the eldest lady not come back.

The eldest lady is well protected by the Anguo Mansion. Even if she never returns to the so-called home of the Qinxing Mansion, even if she marries out of the Anguo Mansion in the future, it is much better than returning to the Qinxing Mansion and being torn apart, having her blood sucked, her flesh eaten, or even losing her life by a group of hungry wolves!

But Peng Lu's silence, his refusal to respond, and his refusal to speak made Leng Xian unhappy again.

Leng Xian thought to himself: Why are so many of them like this?

I have said so much, and I feel that I am so pitiful, so helpless, so sad, and yet so generous...

As my man, you...

Please say something to show your sympathy for me!

Why don't you say something condemning the Anguo Mansion?

Shouldn't you stand on the same side with me and share the same hatred for the enemy?

Why do you just look at your nose with your eyes, and your mouth with your nose in your mouth, with your hands folded in front of you and not saying a word?

What do you mean by this?

"Mr. Peng!" Leng Xian couldn't help but speak out.

Peng Lu seemed to be startled, and quickly raised his eyes to look at Leng Xian, "Ah! Lord, please continue!"

Looking at Peng Lu's serious and respectful expression, Leng Xian choked.

I thought to myself: What else is there to say?

Could it be that you think that I asked you to come here because I have nothing to do and want you to listen to what I have to say?

I have spent so much time talking to you, so at least you should say something in response!

However, Leng Xian couldn't say it out loud, so he could only patiently say, "I have said so much, I wonder what Mr. Peng thinks?"

Peng Lu said in his heart: After listening to your nonsense, how can I have any idea?

However, since Leng Xian asked, Peng Lu couldn't just remain silent.

So, he could only say casually: "Yes! I think what the Marquis just said is absolutely right!"

And then...there was no more news...

Leng Xian is not stupid either.

Looking at Peng Lu's respectful but actually perfunctory look, he understood in his heart.

After all, you know what you have done;

You also know how others view what you have done and how others view you!

Leng Xian thought about this and decided not to beat around the bush and just get straight to the point.

"Mr. Peng, I am thinking that since our eldest daughter cannot be relied upon for the time being, and these dozens of people in our house are all waiting for food and drink, I may have to sacrifice my reputation for the sake of these dozens of people in the house and get through this difficult time first!"

"Your Majesty is truly a benevolent and compassionate master!" Peng Lu praised reluctantly.

It's no wonder that this compliment, which couldn't be more fake, made Leng Xian feel a little comfortable, as if it made him really believe everything he said.

Leng Xian continued, "I think that since the imperial decree for the marriage has been issued, the marriage is a done deal!

Then Prince Yu is my future son-in-law!

It's the son-in-law's duty to do his best for his wife's parents, right?

Mr. Peng? " Leng Xian raised his voice and called out when he saw that Peng Lu didn't respond to what he said.

"Uh...ah? Oh...that's right, the Marquis is absolutely right!"

Peng Lu saw Leng Xian looking into his eyes and realized that he was asking him a question and wanted him to respond, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

Leng Xian was satisfied, “I think so too.

My daughter is going to marry him as a princess. It's just a little money. How can His Royal Highness Prince Yu care about it?"

"Yes, yes! Your Majesty is absolutely right!

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu is so lucky to marry the eldest daughter of our family. I'm going to say something presumptuous. His Royal Highness Prince Yu is so lucky!"

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense!" Leng Xian nodded, "If that's the case, then you can go to Prince Yu's Mansion on my behalf!"

"My Lord, do you mean to ask Xiaoke to go to Prince Yu's mansion to borrow money?"

"Yes.

It would be somewhat inappropriate for me to come here in person.

As the prospective son-in-law, Prince Yu did not take the initiative to send silver to the door;

However, as the future father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, I have to come in person to borrow money. If this gets out, it will hurt His Royal Highness Prince Yu's reputation.

It would be more appropriate for Mr. Peng to come forward on my behalf.

What does Mr. Peng think? "

I thought?

Peng Lu just sneered in his heart.

By now, Peng Lu has made up his mind, that is, let Leng Xian do whatever he wants to him!

As for myself, I am already an outsider!

Whether the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion will be able to regain its former glory, or fall directly into dust, or even disappear into ashes, it has nothing to do with him!

What I need to do is to escape safely from Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion and leave this place of trouble!

Looking at the time outside, Peng Lu roughly estimated...

It was already nightfall. Even if he went back immediately to pack his bags and leave, he might not be able to leave the capital before the city gates closed.

If I stay in the capital and wait until tomorrow morning to leave the city, the changes of this night...

Thinking of this, Peng Lu decided to be the accountant of Marquis Qinxing's Mansion again and obey orders again!

It's just a matter of running errands and delivering a message.

Being able to borrow the money was considered a merit of mine, and my plan to leave the mansion could proceed more smoothly.

If he couldn't borrow the money, it would be Qinxing Hou Lengxian's face that would be lost.

When tomorrow morning comes, I don't have to explain my resignation. I can just pack my bags and leave the house and fly away!
