Chapter 209: Scheming against Zhuangzi and Scheming against the Shop
Emperor Hongde said, turning to look at Anguogong Fu Peng, "Minister Fu, after the court session, you and the other two Ministers Fu should go to Marquis Qinxing's mansion to visit Rongyue for me.
That child is so pitiful!
Please tell Rongyue for me that she doesn't need to be sad.
Next year, when she marries my son, I will treat her as my own daughter.
In addition to the betrothal gifts, I, as her father, will give her a dowry!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng, his sons Fu Yinglan and Fu Yingze, hurried out of the class and knelt down.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng bowed and said, "I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness to my granddaughter!
When my granddaughter gets married in the future, I will prepare a dowry for her. I dare not trouble Your Majesty to worry about this matter!
Also, Your Majesty, my granddaughter is not in the Marquis Qinxing's mansion today.
Yesterday, my two daughters-in-law took my granddaughter back to the Anguo Mansion. This morning, my old wife and two daughters-in-law took my granddaughter to the farm in the south of the city to relax and recuperate. "
"Oh, I see!
That's good, so Rongyue won't be frightened in the mansion. "Emperor Hongde was relieved.
“Yes, Your Majesty.
Because my old wife was missing her little granddaughter the day before yesterday, she asked my two daughters-in-law to come over to visit.
Unexpectedly, my poor little granddaughter was locked in the yard by Leng Xian and Yin.
Not only that, they also emptied all the rice, grain and firewood in the kitchen in the yard.
My granddaughter and her three personal maids nearly starved to death!
My two daughters-in-law were so shocked and angry that they started to beat the second wife of Marquis Qinxing.
After returning home, they told this matter. My wife and I were really worried about our granddaughter.
Just yesterday, I asked my two daughters-in-law to pick up my granddaughter and bring her back home to stay for a while to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, my granddaughter had just left Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion yesterday, and the mansion was robbed at night.
"My granddaughter... has a truly miserable life!"
After Duke Anguo finished speaking, all the ministers in the palace seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy.
Yesterday, the two ladies of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion just took Leng Rongyue back to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion...
Oh, and Leng Xian’s second wife was beaten by the two ladies of the Anguo Mansion because she abused and tortured Leng Rongyue!
That night, the Marquis Qinxing's mansion was robbed...
This... is too much of a coincidence, right?
The ministers looked at each other, and we all thought the same thing...
What a coincidence! What a coincidence!
Before, the eldest daughter of Marquis Qinxing was almost starved to death!
As a result, the eldest daughter was lucky enough to be picked up by the two ladies of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
In other words, this eldest daughter can't die...
If the eldest daughter Leng Rongyue died, the dowry of the late wife would naturally go to the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion;
But this eldest daughter cannot die...
Then...the late lady's dowry...uh...was stolen!
Haha...this is quite interesting!
"Oh, I see!" There was a hint of amusement on Emperor Hong De's face.
At this time, in the mansion of Marquis Qinxing, the kitchen barely made breakfast with the existing ingredients.
The servants ate their fill secretly.
And the so-called masters in this mansion...
Coldness indicates that one is anxious and angry, and has difficulty swallowing food;
Yin's face still hurt and her gums were swollen. In the past two days, she had not eaten anything except some porridge and ginseng soup.
The old lady had a stroke, her mouth was crooked and her eyes were slanted, and she couldn't swallow. She could only be fed a few mouthfuls of rice soup, but she took in less and more came out;
Only Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang complained about the food being bad and without meat, and cursed the servants, but they actually fed themselves!
Breakfast is over, what about lunch?
The servant who was in charge of going out to buy things stood there with his empty hands, looking at the butler Lu Jie'en and the accountant Peng Lu.
Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu looked at each other.
At this time, Leng Xian was still lying on his back in Zhongshun's hut.
He was thinking in his mind that if Leng Rongyue couldn't be found and couldn't come back, how would he spend the rest of his life in this marquis' mansion?
Now the only things that can be used are the shops and farms under Fu Baozhen's name.
Leng Xian thought that he had to collect the profits from the shop in the past few days and hold them in his hands;
Then find a way to sell the farm or the shop to get some real money first.
However, those farms and shops were Fu Baozhen’s dowry, and there were clear records of them in the government.
Now that Fu Baozhen is gone, everything about Fu Baozhen belongs to Leng Rongyue.
In other words, whether it is selling the farm or the shop, Leng Rongyue himself has to come forward to do it.
Not to mention that all the house deeds and land deeds are gone now, even if there were house deeds and land deeds, as long as Leng Rongyue is alive, he has no right to resell them privately.
Leng Xian thought again, not to mention that he couldn't find Leng Rongyue now, even if he found Leng Rongyue now, would she agree to sell the farm and shop left to her by her mother?
It was obvious that the Anguo Mansion was going to support her.
Could she sell the little dowry left from her mother for the sake of her father, her stepmother Yin, and all of them?
The more Leng Xian thought about it, the more desperate he became.
Now, the only one he can count on is himself.
Fortunately, as a marquis, he has a title and salary.
Oh, no! The emperor just fined him three months' salary.
And today, he missed the morning court again. He didn't know how the emperor would punish him again.
