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

Chapter 288: Still scheming despite having lost face

After listening to Leng Xian's pale explanation, Zheng Tong sneered, "My Lord, you want to say that there is no evidence for this matter, right?

Well, this mansion will not discuss the amount and details of the late madam's dowry, but only discuss whether the Marquis's second wife and your mother should be in charge of and use the late madam's dowry.

Do they have the right to be in charge?

Do they have the right to use it?

The Marquis's second wife and her illegitimate children enjoyed the late wife's dowry at will, but they did their best to cruelly abuse the late wife's biological daughter. Doesn't the Marquis know about this?

The Marquis just mentioned that he and his late wife had a very close relationship.

Then why did he let his late wife's biological daughter be abused and bullied by his second wife and concubine's children and just do nothing?

The biological daughter of the first wife was bullied and treated harshly by the second wife and the illegitimate daughter, while the first wife's dowry was used at will by the second wife and the illegitimate daughter...

Doesn’t the Marquis know about this?

Are all the things they wear, wear and use paid for by the Marquis' salary?

Did they think that since they had lost their principal wife and plotted against the legitimate daughter, the dowry of the late wife would naturally fall into their hands?

What a dream!

There is a saying: God is watching what you do!

There is another saying: If you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it yourself! "

Zheng Tong said this, stood up and walked towards the door. He didn't want to face Leng Xian's hypocritical and shameless face anymore.

"I'll give you another sentence: 'The net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it!'"

Zheng Tong, who had already walked out the door, threw down another sentence.

God knows what you did!

If you don’t know, you can’t do it yourself!

The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it!'

Leng Xian sat in the room, and the words left by Zheng Tong kept echoing in his ears...

Could it be... Could it be...

Could it be that what they had done... was known to others...

Could it be that...the two people who escaped that year...

It's all my fault that I was a step too slow back then and failed to eradicate the problem completely!

This also left a hidden danger for himself.

But so many years have passed and everything has remained calm.

Secretly, he spent a large sum of money to hire people and searched Jingyue Country thoroughly. He even had people search every village on the border, but he could not find any trace of the two men.

I hope those two people are no longer in this world.

If they are still alive, it would be best for them to hide forever and keep their mouths shut.

Zhongshun took the tea and returned to the cabin.

When he walked into the house, he saw that only his master was left. Lord Zheng Tong had already left.

Zhongshun thought, I'm going to make tea...but is it taking too long?

Lord Zheng couldn't wait and left?

But it’s not my fault!

The study is close to here, but the tea stove and tea leaves in the study are all gone. I have to run to the big kitchen to boil water, make tea, and then run back. This takes some effort, doesn't it?

Zhongshun carefully placed the tea on the table, brought one of the cups to Leng Xian, and glanced at Leng Xian's face.

Leng Xian just sat there blankly. From the moment Zhongshun entered the room to the moment he handed him the tea, Leng Xian didn't even move his eyes.

Zhongshun didn't dare to call him, so he quietly walked out of the room with the tray.

At this moment, Leng Xian's heart was like a raging sea, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

He remembered what Zheng Tong said before -

This time he was handling the case on orders.

In accordance with the imperial decree, that means the emperor has also set his sights on the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion and Fu Baozhen's dowry, which is also Leng Rongyue's dowry.

Well, even if the lost items from the Marquis' Mansion were recovered, I couldn't have any more ideas about it!

However, after getting used to the life he had led before, if he were to live solely on his marquis' salary, he would not have to eat coarse food, but he would probably count every penny in his life!

Thinking of that day, Leng Xian's eyes turned dark, his heart became panicked and filled with despair!

The last glimmer of hope is Leng Rongyue.

Leng Xian believed that no matter whether Fu Baozhen's dowry could be recovered, at least there were still a few shops and farms outside, so maintaining the livelihood of the Marquis' Mansion would not be a problem at all.

But, the prerequisite is that Leng Rongyue has to nod and agree to let them share.

He also believed that even if Leng Rongyue got married, even if Fu Baozhen's dowry could not be recovered, it would not be difficult to give Leng Rongyue a dowry based on the family property of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

But how much of it can Leng Rongyue give to honor her father?

Moreover, after the theft in the Marquis' Mansion, Fu Baozhen's dowry was enjoyed by the second wife and concubine's daughter, and Leng Rongyue was subjected to harsh abuse in the mansion...all of this is already known to everyone!

Will the Anguo Mansion let me go easily?

With the support of the Anguo Mansion, would Leng Rongyue still give them the shops and farms left by her mother?

Leng Xian shook his head. Now, he was not sure.

But then again, whether he can plot against Leng Rongyue, and whether Leng Rongyue can be plotted by him, the prerequisite is that he must be able to meet Leng Rongyue!

But I was awakened by Zheng Tong's words just now——

He can't go out of the city to find Leng Rongyue in person!

Liu Da had been there before, and saw the commotion at the gate. He hadn't had the chance to ask him in detail what happened when he arrived at Banshan Manor.

He didn't know the process and details, but he saw the result - Liu Da did not take the person back.

I don’t know whether Leng Rongyue herself is unwilling to come back, or the old lady and two ladies of the Anguo Mansion don’t let her come back?
