Chapter 193: No Thoughts on the Past, Only Recognize Gold and Silver
Leng Xian clenched his fists, feeling angry.
He is Leng Rongyue's biological father, and no one can deny this no matter who he is!
Leng Rongyue is his biological daughter. If he doesn't let go, no one can take her away from him!
Leng Rongyue can only stay in the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion!
If Leng Rongyue stays here, her mother Fu Baozhen's dowry must also stay here.
Leng Xian thought with gritted teeth.
Except for an empty shell, almost everything visible in the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion belongs to Fu Baozhen!
Such a huge amount of property was gone just like that, Leng Xian's heart ached so much that it was bleeding!
He even had the idea of fighting to the death with the Duke of Anguo's Mansion!
Although he didn't dare, he could think about it.
Liu Da and Zhongshun supported Leng Xian, whose legs were weak, and finally arrived at the door of Yuehuaxuan.
The gleaming big lock on the gate of Yuehuaxuan angered Leng Xian.
He knew that Leng Rongyue had left with the two ladies of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion yesterday, and Yuehuaxuan also locked its door.
Do you want to stay out of this? No way!
Then everything that belonged to Fu Baozhen should belong to her husband.
As for Fu Baozhen's daughter Leng Rongyue...
If she is obedient, can help me keep the treasure, and can gain benefits for myself, then find a place for her to live and let her live a few more days;
If she doesn't obey...
Then don’t blame him for being cruel as a father!
Leng Xian's legs could hardly stand.
He asked Liu Da and Zhongshun to help him sit down on the large bluestone next to him.
Leng Xian raised his hand and pointed at the big lock on the door of Yuehuaxuan, gritting his teeth and saying, "You two, go and break that big lock for me!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Liu Dahe Zhongshun agreed and looked around.
It is quiet here, with only a clean path extending into the distance, without even a piece of gravel around.
Liu Da thought for a moment and said to Zhongshun, "You stay here to guard the Marquis. I'll go to the utility room over there to find someone who works with a hammer and will be back soon."
Having said that, Liu Da turned and ran away.
Not long after, Liu Da came running back with a big hammer in his hand.
He went to the gate of Yuehuaxuan and swung the hammer hard at the big lock on the door.
Once, twice, three times...
Finally, the big lock was broken open, and with a clang, the padlock fell to the ground.
Liu Da pushed the courtyard door open and looked at Leng Xian, "My Lord, the door is open."
Zhongshun helped Leng Xian to stand up and walked towards him step by step.
Liu Da helped Zhongshun and supported Leng Xian into Yuehuaxuan.
Yuehuaxuan is unusually quiet and peaceful.
The three of them walked across the small stone bridge over the small pond in the courtyard, followed the flower path, and came to Leng Rongyue's boudoir.
There was also a big padlock on the door.
There was a window open over there.
Leng Xian and the other two walked towards the window.
Before they even got close, through the open window, the three of them could clearly see the scene in the house—
Empty, empty too.
Leng Xian held onto the windowsill with both hands, looking into the empty room. Only the wind was blowing the curtains inside, causing them to flutter gently.
Leng Xian's legs could no longer support his body, and he slid to the ground under the windowsill.
Yuehuaxuan was also copied.
This... could it be that I am thinking wrongly?
Could it be that I had unknowingly provoked some powerful bandit?
It shouldn’t be!
I have always been cautious in my life and work, and never offend anyone easily, except the Anguo Mansion.
How could I possibly bring upon myself such an unprovoked disaster?
No one in the family was killed or injured, but all the gold, silver and valuables were gone, not even the tables, chairs and benches were left!
Oh, it seems that all the things in the servants’ room are there.
But, that should be something that a bandit would look down upon, right?
How many coppers are the things in the servants' room worth?
Leng Xian leaned against the wall under the window sill, sitting there in a daze for who knows how long.
Liu Da and Zhongshun could only stand guard carefully by the side.
The two did not dare to urge, ask, or say anything more.
It was not until Liu Da and Zhongshun's legs were numb from standing that Leng Xian raised his head and looked at Liu Da and Zhongshun standing in front of him, "Help me up and go around the mansion."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" The two men hurried over and lifted up Leng Xian who was sitting on the ground.
Leng Xian was carried out of Yuehuaxuan by Liu Da and Zhongshun.
Leng Xian stopped and looked back at the beautiful courtyard.
This Yuehuaxuan is filled with Fu Baozhen's deep maternal love for her daughter Leng Rongyue!
How could this yard not be beautiful?
Leng Xian seemed to see again Fu Baozhen accompanying the young Leng Rongyue, picking flowers, feeding fish and playing in the garden.
Leng Rongyue would snuggle in Fu Baozhen's arms to learn poetry and play the piano;
At this moment, Leng Xian seemed to still be able to hear Fu Baozhen's gentle laughter and Leng Rongyue's childish, silver bell-like laughter.
Leng Xian turned his head suddenly.
He couldn't think about this anymore!
What he needs to think about now is how to get back Fu Baozhen's huge dowry!
Leng Xian walked very slowly.
First, he felt sore in the waist and knees and weak all over these past two days, and even walking a few steps was very difficult;
Moreover, he kept wondering in his mind, who could use such an extreme and bizarre method to empty out his entire mansion without anyone noticing?
