Chapter 347: What happened before was not better
Zhongshun was in a daze when he heard Leng Xian calling him anxiously. He quickly came to his senses, responded, stood up and ran into the hut.
Zhongshun ran into the hut and saw Leng Xian had already thrown back the quilt, got up from the bed and put on his shoes.
Zhongshun thought to himself, where is the Marquis going?
However, he did not dare to ask, but stepped forward and bowed, "My Lord, what do you want me to do?"
"Go and get Butler Lu to come to me! Quick!"
"Oh, yes, yes!" When Zhongshun heard that the Marquis wanted to find Butler Lu, he quickly agreed and turned to run out.
There is a separate courtyard to the west of the mansion gate, and this is where Lu Jie'en lives.
At the same time, the accounting office of the marquis's mansion was also located in this courtyard, so the accountant Peng Lu also lived in this courtyard.
Apart from this, there is no one else.
At this time, Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu were sitting in Peng Lu's room.
There was one person sitting on each side of the octagonal table.
The two sat in silence, drinking tea in silence, without saying a word.
I don't know how much time had passed, but Peng Lu drank a cup of tea and spilled the tea leaves on the ground in front of him.
Putting down the teacup, Peng Lu turned his head and looked at Lu Jie'en, "Brother Lu, I...I plan to leave the Marquis of Qinxing Mansion and find another way to make a living."
Lu Jie'en, who was sitting on the other side, was not surprised at all when he heard this. He continued to drink his tea silently, as if he had thought of it before.
Then, the two fell into silence again.
It was not until Lu Jie'en finished another cup of tea that he slowly nodded and said, "Go if you can! You are not selling yourself here, you are a free person, if you want to leave... just go!"
"Brother Lu, what about you?
"What are your plans next?" Peng Lu asked Lu Jie'en, "You are free too!
You didn’t sell yourself to the Marquis’ Mansion, otherwise… leave too!”
Lu Jien shook his head silently, "Although I didn't sell myself here, the old marquis saved my life!
Before the old marquis died, he entrusted the mansion to me.
What a pity!
I failed to protect the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion!
All they could do was watch the stupid, evil and immoral old lady do whatever she wanted, blindly demolishing the Marquis's mansion and filling the Yin family's vacancy;
And then he watched as Yin, that shameless and vicious scourge, walked into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion!
From that moment on, I knew that the Marquis' Mansion was beginning to decline step by step!
But fortunately, my wife was there at that time.
As long as the lady is there, the Anguo Mansion is behind her.
Even for the sake of the madam and the eldest daughter, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion will not watch the Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion collapse!
But I didn't expect that the Marquis and his mother and that Yin were too greedy and too cruel!
They...they have no conscience!"
At this point, Lu Jien sighed, "Alas!
The lady is gone!
Even if they were allowed to enjoy the lady's dowry, the huge amount of gold and silver and the prosperity could not cover up the darkness and dilapidation inside!
The collapse of the Marquis' Mansion is only a matter of time!
Because of the eldest daughter, they enjoyed many more years of wealth and glory!
Enough! Enough is enough!
If they can continue to enjoy what they shouldn't enjoy as they wish, then God is blind!
As the saying goes, God is watching what you do!
Even if God takes a nap sometimes, it has been almost ten years, and it is time for the napping God to wake up! "
"What do you mean by that?
Brother Lu, could it be that…” Peng Lu felt that there was something else behind what Lu Jien said.
Lu Jien looked at Peng Lu, shook his head, and waved his hand, "Hey! Don't ask so many questions. If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible!"
Peng Lu came to the marquis's mansion to work as an accountant after the late wife passed away.
After all, he was in charge of the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion, so he naturally knew that the mansion's monthly income came from those shops and farms.
And all those shops and farms were under the name of the late lady, they were her dowry!
And all of these were enjoyed to their heart's content by the Marquis, the old lady, the current lady, the second young lady and the young master as a matter of course!
But the one who was treated harshly was the late wife's own daughter.
There is a saying in this world: If there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather!
It seems normal and inevitable that children without mothers have a miserable life!
Good luck!
The eldest lady also has the Anguo Mansion as her in-laws!
Even though I was secretly bullied and mistreated by Yin and Old Yin, at least I survived, at least I am still alive today!
However, no one expected that the mansion would be robbed overnight and suddenly become empty, without a single piece of paper left!
At this moment, listening to what Lu Jie'en said, could it be that... this theft is retribution from the Marquis' Mansion?
Could it be that... there is something else going on here that I don't know about?
Peng Lu was not stupid. When the concubine entered the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, she brought with her a concubine's daughter who was about the same age as the eldest daughter. It was said that she was pregnant when she entered!
The mistress came in and the wife died soon after. No matter who took her place, wouldn't they have thought too much?
It's just that there is no real evidence, it's just a thought!
Even if the Anguo Mansion had suspicions, it was just suspicions.
Now, listening to what Butler Lu said, Peng Lu felt that his previous guess... should... not be unreasonable!
But seeing that Butler Lu didn't want to say more, even if he asked more, he was sure that Butler Lu would not say anything.
Besides, what’s the point of finding out so much about it yourself?
I don’t know what happened before.
Don't know better.
