Chapter 235: Get Rid of Your Anger and Investigate as Soon as Possible
Leng Rongyue kept smiling, wiping her hair slowly, and listening to Qingyi's story.
Zi Yi, who was standing by, had a twinkling look in her eyes, as if she was listening to a story, and kept asking: "Anything else? Anything else?"
"Yes!" Qing Yi replied with a smile.
"Because Marquis Qinxing suddenly remembered that he had not attended court and forgot to ask for leave, he was afraid that the emperor would punish him and impose additional punishment on him.
So, he sent the servant named Zhongshun to rush into the palace to ask for leave for him.
As a result, the emperor learned about this and directly issued an edict, ordering Shuntian Prefecture to investigate the matter.
At the same time, he also ordered Shuntian Prefecture to take the dowry under the name of the young lady's mother...
Oh, that is, all the shops, farms and other things that were included in the dowry were protected to prevent further losses.
The Marquis of Qinxing had originally been eyeing those shops and farms, thinking... either to get silver from them, or to sell the shops and farms and get silver.
This time, even if Marquis Qinxing didn't want to report the case, it was equivalent to reporting it!
Now, all the shops and farms owned by the late lady have been controlled and supervised by officials.
The Marquis of Qinxing sent his accountant to rush to those shops to steal the silver.
As a result, they went from shop to shop, but it was all in vain. There were officials guarding each shop, and they didn't get a penny!
The servant in charge of purchasing in Marquis Qinxing's mansion could not get the money and could not leave the mansion.
The livelihoods of dozens of people in the Marquis' Mansion have now become a problem!"
"Great! Great! You deserve it!"
Ziyi clapped her hands and cheered, staring at Qingyi with shining eyes and asked, "Anything else?"
Qing Yi also smiled and nodded, "There's more! There's more fun!
No one knew where the shop owners and clerks who had previous dealings with the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion heard the news, but they all swarmed to the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion to settle their old accounts.
How can the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion have any money to pay the bill now?
The housekeeper and accountant in the mansion were surrounded by the shopkeeper and his assistants who came to collect debts and couldn't get away!"
"What happened next?" Zi Yi asked again.
"Later, the steward of the Marquis Qinxing's mansion agreed to collect the bill first, report it back to the Marquis, and ask the Marquis to find a way and settle the bill for them later.
Seeing that the Marquis Qinxing's mansion really had no money to pay, the shopkeepers and clerks had no choice but to leave the bills with the housekeeper and the accountant, saying that they would go to the mansion tomorrow to collect the money.
"Great! I love hearing news like this coming out of Marquis Qinxing's mansion!
You deserve it!
Humph! They have been immoral enough and committed enough sins, it is time for them to receive retribution!" Zi Yi said bitterly.
"Who said it wasn't true!" Qingyi nodded and said, "The Marquis Qinxing's mansion is now in trouble both internally and externally.
The Duke of Qinxing clenched his fists, at a loss as to what to do!
He first sent a maid to the Anguo Mansion to pick up the young lady, but it turned out that the young lady had already set off and came to the manor halfway up the mountain.
The people from Marquis Qinxing's residence were driven away by the people from Duke Anguo's residence before they saw you, young lady.
Marquis Qinxing also sent a servant named Liu Da to drive the mansion's carriage. Oh, I heard that he was driving the best carriage in the mansion. He arrived at the manor halfway up the mountain in the afternoon, but was blocked outside the gate by the servants ordered by the two ladies and was ridiculed and sent back.
That servant is so unlucky!
Even if he rode back as fast as he could, he wouldn't be able to enter the capital today!
When he returns tomorrow, he will inevitably be scolded by the Marquis of Qinxing!"
“Ouch, ouch!
Just imagine how shameless Marquis Qinxing must be to come here at this time and take the young lady back!
What's the purpose of picking up the lady?
Do you want the remaining shops and farms that Miss has?
Or should we let the young lady ask the Anguo Mansion for money on their behalf?
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as Marquis Qinxing!" Zi Yi's little mouth was almost sticking out two miles!
Qing Yi looked at Zi Yi who was snorting and smiled.
After thinking for a while, he said, “I don’t know who committed this shocking crime!
The mansion of Marquis Qinxing was robbed so thoroughly!
Although... looking at the current state of those people in Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, I just feel particularly relieved.
But... it's a pity for the young lady's mother's dowry!" Qingyi still felt a little regretful when she thought of this.
Leng Rongyue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, those things will be found back sooner or later.
Besides, aren’t there still shops and farms that can’t be stolen?
Those things are no longer under the control of those people in Qinxing Marquis’ Mansion!
They could no longer use a penny or a single needle or thread from those shops and farms.
Don't worry about them. Right now, it's important to track down the witnesses and do our own thing.
After I finish my work here and return to Beijing, I will go back to tidy up those shops and farms.
My mother's dowry has been occupied and enjoyed by them for so many years, they should be content!
As for the future, my father, Yin, my grandmother, and those two little poisonous scorpions Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, if they want to continue to occupy and enjoy my mother's dowry, they can just dream on!"
When Leng Rongyue said this, her eyes were cold and grim, and she thought to herself, I hope we can find the witnesses and evidence as soon as possible, so that the criminals who killed Leng Rongyue's mother can get the punishment they deserve as soon as possible, to comfort the souls of the poor mother and daughter in heaven!
"Okay, I know everything.
It's getting late, you should go wash up and have a rest, we have to go out early tomorrow morning!" Leng Rongyue said.
"Yes, I understand!
Miss, please go to bed early!" Qingyi said.
Leng Rongyue nodded.
The men in blue and purple bowed, turned around and walked out of the house, closing the door behind them.
