Chapter 357 What is the difference between him and him

At this moment, Lu Jinchuan just wanted to slap himself. What he said yesterday was purely out of anger and came out of his mind.

Although he had been trying every possible way to support the two concubines and his illegitimate son over the years, ever since he discovered that the two had given him green hats of different sizes, he took back all the property given to the two concubines, especially the land and shops, and put them back into the public treasury.

As for other things, he was too embarrassed to put the collected property into his private treasury, so the public treasury was not cramped at all.

Although most of this was due to Pei's credit, but... he was not as hateful as Lu Xinran said in his heart.

But how could he explain these inside stories to Tang Chongli?

Tell him that the two bastards he once loved so much were not his own?

Now, whenever he thought about how everyone in the capital would know that he was cuckolded and that he had two bastards, he wanted to vomit blood!

Tang Chongli was a little unsure at this time. He rarely took care of the internal affairs of the mansion, and he really didn't know whether the situation in his own palace was really urgent.

Liu kept finding faults in Lu Xinlan and trying every way to torture her... Didn't she really want her to be obedient and hand over her dowry?

Beads of sweat were already forming on his back, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

In recent years, he has been devoted to solving cases in the Dali Temple. He rarely accepts gifts from his subordinates and rarely accepts money or property. If he only relies on his salary and some industries, he is afraid that it will be difficult to maintain all expenses in the mansion.

He had always known that Liu attached great importance to face in many aspects. When her daughter got married, she gave her a lot of dowry so that she would be worthy of the Duke's Mansion.

When his son got married, in order to avoid being laughed at, the betrothal gift was also extremely high.

The marriage of the two children must have emptied the family's savings. If there is no stable income, the family will have trouble with food and daily necessities.

Thinking of this, his heart began to panic.

If people knew that Liu's behavior was ultimately intended to seize her daughter-in-law's dowry, then the Tang family would be disgraced.

In Pei's room, Lu Xinran cursed in his heart and then started muttering.

Lu Jinchuan probably just mentioned the dowry when he was angry, but Liu... considering that Liu was always picky and competitive, she might really be eyeing Lu Xinlan's dowry.

She turned her head and asked silently, but Lu Xinlan just shook her head slightly. She was not clear about the situation in the Tang Mansion.

The general affairs of the mansion have always been in the hands of Liu, who was very tight on the matter and didn't want outsiders to interfere, so she didn't ask too much to avoid causing misunderstanding.

But when she said this, she thought of some doubts.

But none of this mattered anymore. She didn't want to hesitate any more about this marriage. She wanted a quick and decisive divorce.

As for what Song Junyan said, as long as she didn't care about her reputation, Liu wouldn't be able to control her. This was a good idea, but... the premise of doing so was that she had a deep relationship with Tang Chongli, and for him, she would rather suffer some grievances.

But they had only been married for a few months, and Liu had always been disturbing her mind. How could she develop a love affair with Tang Chongli that was exclusive to him?

The relationship between them is different from Lu Xinran and Song Junyan. The fact that Song Junyan could say such words means that he is willing to do anything for Lu Xinran.

But Tang Chongli...is not him.

Pei watched the two of them arguing with each other and stopped Zhao, who wanted to stand up immediately to seek justice for her daughter after hearing their true feelings.

"Xinlan girl, grandma asks you again, have you really thought it through? Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Once you are really determined to divorce, we will go to your house to ask for the dowry, and there will be no room for redemption."

Lu Xinlan stood up and knelt in front of Pei with a full expression of apology: "I have made up my mind. I beg you, Grandmother, to allow me to be willful for once and help me get a smooth divorce."

"Next year is the year of the big exam. Have you really thought it through?"

Lu Xinlan leaned forward and kowtowed. Although he did not answer with words, his action explained everything.

[It seems that Liu really hurt my sister's heart, making her unable to care about anything else. ]

[I don’t know what that vicious woman did to make my sister so determined.]

[Alas, every failure is a lesson learned. You can only know a person’s face but not his heart. I can no longer trust everything in pamphlets. The human heart is like a needle in the sea.]

A few sighs were heard in the front yard. The two men who had just resolved the awkward situation were about to discuss how to deal with the people on the list, but their bodies immediately froze again.

This is...

Tang Quyan could no longer sit still. No matter what the reason was, it didn't make sense to get a divorce right after the wedding.

Besides, next year is the year of the big exam!

Is Lu Xinlan really so cruel that he would rather destroy Tang Chongli than suffer a little injustice?

He stood up, and without further ado, bowed to Lu Jinchuan.

"I would like to meet my daughter-in-law. I beg Lord Lu to grant my wish."

Lu Jinchuan was also afraid that Pei would agree to stand up for Lu Xinlan at this time, so he quickly stood up and put his hand on his arm, "We are family, so let's not talk behind each other's backs. Come with me to the old woman's courtyard."

Just when Mrs. Pei was in a dilemma, the servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Madam, the old man and Lord Tang are outside the courtyard asking to see you."

Lord Tang, Tang Quyan?

Why did this person come to Lu's house? Isn't it because of the divorce?

Pei's gaze passed over Lu Xinlan and fell on Lu Xinran. Lu Xinran immediately understood and opened Tang Quyan's booklet.

[The dog emperor actually didn't take care of his illness and forced himself to attend the morning court? 】

[He also listed the names of officials who had entered the various palaces the day before, hoping that Lu Jinchuan and Tang Quyan would convict them and then share the package of property confiscation and exile? ]

[This dog emperor doesn't have much time left, but he's still thinking about making money? ]

A series of doubtful voices reached the ears of the crowd. Knowing that Tang Quyan came to the Lu Mansion to discuss official business, Pei instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let them in."

Tang Quyan was a foreigner, and Zhao and Kong were of the same generation as him. They felt a little embarrassed when they learned that he was going to come in.

Pei raised her hand and pointed behind the screen, indicating that they should sit inside and listen.

As soon as the two of them sat down behind the screen, Lu Jinchuan came in with his men.

"I have met the old lady before."

As soon as Tang Quyan entered the room, he performed the greetings of a senior very politely.

Seeing him do this, Lu Xinran and others also stood up and saluted him.

"Xinlan girl, can your father say a few words to you?"

He did not hide his purpose, and after the greetings he walked directly in front of Lu Xinlan.

Lu Xinlan nodded and walked out of the room first.

Lu Xinran immediately opened Tang Quyan's booklet, wanting to see where Lu Xinlan was taking the person and whether it would exceed the range of a hundred steps.

[Well, it's fine in the courtyard. There are servants outside, so there won't be any messy rumors.]

[But, hey, forget it, I'll first see how Tang Quyan plans to brainwash my sister and what excuses he wants to use to kidnap my sister and make her give up the idea of ​​divorce.]

Tang Quyan, who was considering how to start the conversation, said: "..."

This girl is poisonous!

What else can he say if he plays like this?!
