It must have been that brat Li Feng who instigated it. She secretly slipped away from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion back then. Let's see if she doesn't beat her half to death when she comes back and then sell her off.
Seeing that Madam Fang still wouldn't let him pass, Zhu Yu said, "Does Madam want everyone in Shengjing to see this, pulling and shoving each other in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, making such a scene!"
Fang's face was grim.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yucheng's face turned ashen, and the murderous aura of the military force spread uncontrollably.
Fang's face paled slightly, and she involuntarily took a step back.
Lu Yucheng glanced coldly at Fang Shi, then carried Zhu Yu past her and hurried towards the courtyard where Lu Xiaoyun used to live.
Fang's mind was still buzzing when she saw Lu Yucheng carrying Lu Xiaoyun and striding towards Tongjia Courtyard.
"Madam, Madam!" Wei Mama, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled Fang Shi aside.
Fang finally came to her senses and hurriedly chased after Lu Yucheng.
While helping Madam Fang hurry towards Tongjia Courtyard, Madam Wei advised, "Madam, the young master has already brought everyone back. Fortunately, there aren't many pedestrians on the street at this time, so please calm down."
Madam Fang's face turned cold: "What do you mean, 'disappear'? How can a married woman return to her parents' home like this? Does my Duke Zhenguo's mansion have no shame? What will happen to my two daughters' marriages!"
Madam Wei lowered her voice and said, "Madam, these are all minor matters. But the young master still has the late madam's dowry list. He returned from Prince An's residence so quickly, he definitely hasn't had time to check it with the eldest young lady yet. What if, in a little while, the young master pulls the dowry list out with the eldest young lady, then it will be too late? Have you forgotten how we planned this last night?"
You didn't give the young lady a single penny.
Fang paused, realizing that this was not the case. How could she be so confused?
Madam Wei then said, "Madam, why don't you coax the eldest young lady a little and let her go to the young master herself and say that she voluntarily wanted to hand over the late madam's dowry to you to manage? It would be best to get her to say that it was for her elder brother to use for his wedding?"
"Once the young master gets married and returns to the Southern Frontier, everything else will be up to you, won't it? We can't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture at this time."
Fang had calmed down by now, and she nodded, saying, "That's right, that's right. It's good that you were there to remind me."
The old woman smiled, pursing her lips.
As they were talking, the Fangs saw Lu Yucheng step into the gate of Tongjia Courtyard.
"Big brother." Inside Tongjia Courtyard, Lu Jinmi had just picked up her wedding dress and was about to start embroidering when she heard the commotion outside. She quickly put down the dress and came out.
Her mother said that her marriage to the grandson of the British prince was a done deal, so she had already secretly started embroidering her wedding dress.
When Lu Jinmi saw the "Lu Xiaoyun" in Lu Yucheng's arms, she was stunned for a moment, then her face fell and she said, "Elder sister, what brings you here?"
She looked behind Lu Yucheng but did not see the rumored "Demon King" Zhu Yu, who was as fierce as a god.
He questioned, "Don't you know that a woman's husband should accompany her on her first visit to her parents' home after marriage?"
Zhu Yu rested her head on Lu Yucheng's chest with her eyes closed; the mother and daughter were exactly the same.
Lu Jinmi snorted coldly, looking at "Lu Xiaoyun" who was being held in Lu Yucheng's arms, her face weak and pale, and she was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable. Suddenly, she understood something.
"Heh, elder sister, you didn't cause any trouble at Prince An's mansion again, did you? That's why you asked eldest brother to bring you back, right? You look so weak, did Prince An beat you up?"
A gloating expression appeared on her face. How come they didn't kill him?
Lu Yucheng paused, looked at Lu Jinmi, and asked, "What are you doing here? Isn't this Xiaoyun's courtyard?"
Lu Jinmi choked on her words, twisting her handkerchief in her hands, lowering her head, and stammering, unsure of what to say. This courtyard was only lent to Lu Xiaoyun for half a month every three years; the rest of the time it belonged to her.
How did it become her yard?
Lu Yucheng looked at Lu Jinmi with an icy expression.
Lu Jinmi's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at her half-brother.
Fang Shi had also arrived by then. She smiled awkwardly and blocked Lu Jinmi's way, saying, "Mi'er is just staying for a few days."
"Want to stay here?"
Knowing no one would believe her, Fang said awkwardly, "I noticed that Xiaoyun is married now, and this courtyard is just sitting empty. It would be such a waste if such a nice courtyard wasn't used, so I decided to let your second sister move in."
Lu Yucheng's expression turned even colder. He looked down at his younger sister in his arms. How come his sister was no longer a daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion after getting married? Did she not even have a place to stay when she returned to her parents' home?
In such a large mansion as the Duke of Zhenguo, there is still no place for the younger sister to stay.
Zhu Yu patted Lu Yucheng's arm, signaling him to put him down.
Fang turned around and pulled Lu Jinmi along, still thinking about the dowry that the old woman had just told her: "Quickly, clear out the courtyard and return it to your elder sister."
Lu Jinmi was not willing to accept this, and stamped her foot and shouted, "Mother, this is clearly my courtyard, and I have always lived here. Why should I give it to her!"
Lu Yucheng looked at Lu Jinmi and said coldly, "Your courtyard?"
Fang kept giving Lu Jinmi meaningful glances.
But Lu Jinmi couldn't understand: "She's already a married daughter. A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; how can she come back to her parents' home like this!"
After Zhu Yu steadied himself, he tugged at Lu Yucheng's clothes and said softly, "Brother, this is indeed not my courtyard. My courtyard is in Cuizhu Residence."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yucheng's face darkened instantly: "What did you say? How could your courtyard be in Cuizhu Residence? How could anyone live in that place?"
Zhu Yu nodded, looking aggrieved.
Fang gave Zhu Yu a warning glare, cursing him in her heart, before realizing that Lu Xiaoyun was acting very strangely today.
Seeing that she was only wearing a lotus green dress today, with no makeup on her face and only a simple jade hairpin in her hair, she was completely different from the peacock-like lowly maid she usually was.
Lu Xiaoyun, you brat! If you dare say a single word out of line, wait till they return to Southern Xinjiang, and I'll make sure you regret it! Don't think that just because I'm being nice to you now, you can take advantage of me.
Don't you know what you are?
If it weren't for your mother's dowry, which is why you died young, would I have to lower myself to you, you little slut, and let my daughter suffer?
Even Lu Jinmi cursed him in her heart, wondering why he hadn't been killed by that big devil, Prince An, at Prince An's mansion. Why did he have to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? It was simply shameful.
She even let her brother carry her back to the mansion like that; how shameless!
Could it be that His Highness Prince An divorced her?
Ah, it's better to abandon it!
But how could she possibly face returning to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? She might as well just hang herself with a white silk ribbon.
Zhu Yu glanced at the jade bracelet that was getting hotter and hotter; in that short time, it had increased by 100 points, becoming 11,000 points.
Ha, you're cursing him, aren't you?
