Chapter 197 1 The Ugly Greed for the Scumbag

After Mr. Peng Lu, the accountant, finished speaking, he lowered his head dejectedly.

"What?" Leng Xian exclaimed.

He originally thought that since there was no news from the accounting office, the thieves might have accidentally missed it.

There are still a few thousand taels of silver there, which should at least be enough to cover the mansion's expenses for a few days.

Once they report it to the authorities, they will investigate.

In addition, the farms and shops outside can also provide income support.

However, once the report is filed with the authorities, the owner must produce a list of lost items.

Once Leng Rongyue and the Anguo Mansion produce Fu Baozhen's dowry list, the lost items and the future income from the shops and farms will all be returned to Leng Rongyue according to the government records.

Fu Baozhen's grand wedding in the past and her huge dowry today will once again attract everyone's attention.

In the past, they controlled Leng Rongyue. They controlled all the house deeds, land deeds, shops, and all the gold, silver and treasures.

As long as Leng Rongyue is in the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion, they can grab these things and enjoy them at will.

And once they pass the government's clear path again, even if all the lost items are recovered, plus the income from the farms and shops, they will all clearly belong to Leng Rongyue's hands.

For a period of time, the theft case at the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion and the dowry that Fu Baozhen left to Leng Rongyue will be mentioned and paid attention to by countless people.

With so many people watching, it would not be so easy for him to seize all of Fu Baozhen's dowry for himself...

If they wanted to use it again, they had to ask Leng Rongyue for help.

It all depends on whether Leng Rongyue is still as easy to control as before.

But he had also heard from the servants around Yin that since the two ladies of the Anguo Mansion went to visit Leng Rongyue, Leng Rongyue has been very different from before!

They said that the eldest daughter is no longer the timid and cowardly girl she used to be!

Leng Rongyue has the support of the Duke's Mansion as her in-laws, and the blessing of the imperial decree to grant marriage. If she really gets out of control and turns against his father, then... then his Qinxing Marquis Mansion will become an empty shell again!

Just rely on him?

Now, apart from the hereditary title of Marquis Qinxing, he has no power at all, which means that he has no external wealth.

It turned out that the Marquis's Mansion did not have much property, and all of it was donated to her parents' family by old Yin.

If he hadn't racked his brains to get close to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion and married the Duke of Anguo's beloved daughter Fu Baozhen, who also brought a huge dowry, how could they have enjoyed wealth for so many years?

If Fu Baozhen's dowry was gone in the future, and he only had the little salary of the title of Marquis Qinxing, who would he support? What would he do with it?

He couldn't imagine it.

The housekeeper Lu Jie'en, who was standing aside, was looking at Leng Xian with a frown.

The reason why he still stayed in the Qinxing Marquis's mansion was because the old Qinxing Marquis had done him a favor;

And my late wife also took good care of him.

He was grateful for this kindness, and after his first wife passed away, he secretly took care of the orphan girl in Yuehuaxuan as much as possible.

If it weren't for him, the situation of the masters and servants in Yuehuaxuan might have been even worse and more pitiful!

However, most of the time, he was willing but unable to do so.

He is just a servant and cannot control his master's affairs.

Now, Leng Xian and Yin are trying every means to seize the late lady's dowry.

However, to this day, no matter whether it was God's will or human will, for Leng Xian and Yin Shi, it was all in vain!

Lu Jien sighed secretly, shook his head, and stepped forward and said, "My Lord, in my opinion, we should... report to the authorities first!"

At this time, Yin was already tired of crying and stopped crying.

She raised her head and looked at Leng Xian, while Leng Xian was staring blankly at the empty ground.

After a long while, when everyone thought Leng Xian could no longer react, Leng Xian shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer, wait for the young lady to come back, and see what she says before making a decision!"

When Yin heard Leng Xian say that he didn't report to the authorities now because he was waiting for Leng Rongyue, Yin was not happy.

With Chuntao's help, she tried her best to stand up and looked straight at Leng Xian: "What did you say?

We lost something, we went to report to the police, why should we wait for Leng Rongyue? What are we waiting for her for?

If we don’t report to the police immediately, where will we find the thief if he escapes?

Go report to the police! Go! Go and get our things back!

Those are our things! They are ours! …

That’s our Xing’er’s dowry!

That belongs to our Yang'er!

That's ours!

Go report to the police right away!

Go and get our stuff back! Go quickly!"

Yin pounced on him, grabbed Leng Xian's collar like a madman, and shook him desperately.

Leng Xian slapped Yin's hand away in annoyance, and then slapped Yin in the face with his backhand, "Idiot! Idiot!

Are you sure those things are yours?

Are you sure you brought those things from the Yin family?"

Leng Xian was also cursing Yin in his heart: What an idiot!

Those treasures are Xing'er's dowry...

Those treasures belong to Yang'er...

Just think these words in your heart and hold the treasure in your hands. Why did you shout it out, you idiot?

Is this because she is afraid that others don't know that she, a concubine who climbed up from the concubine, is going to openly seize the dowry left by the original wife for her biological eldest daughter?

How could he, the great Marquis Qinxing, still maintain his dignity if he shouted this out loud?
