"What? Yuanshi and her family? Isn't that the House of the Earl of Zhongcheng?" Lu Ailan took a deep breath, "Why is there also the matter of Prince Duan?"
The little milk ball stuck out her pink little tongue to lick the sesame seeds at the corner of her mouth, complaining in her heart while eating.
[Prince Duan coveted the wealth of the Lu family. Yuan Shi resented Qian Yufeng for having the Lu family as her backer, so she conspired with her family to kill the Lu family. The bandits were disguised as Prince Duan's men.]
The charcoal-headed boy became a veritable tape recorder, repeating his master's thoughts.
After hearing this, Chu Lianlian and Lu Ailan were horrified.
Especially Lu Ailan, tears kept falling down her face, crying: "I hurt them, I hurt them! Yuan Shi has always been cruel and ruthless. If she wants Qian Yumei to take the position of Lady Chengguo, she must kill me first.
My backer is the Lu family. If I destroy them, it will be like cutting off all my escape routes. I am the one who killed the Lu family."
Seeing her crying so sadly, Chu Lianlian's eyes also turned red: "Mother! Don't be too sad, take care of yourself. After we bring the people back, we can discuss the future. If someone really framed the Lu family back then, the young master will definitely find a way."
[Don't worry, Duke Cheng has evidence in his hands, just wait for his move! ]
After the charcoal-headed man finished reading the news, Lu Ailan was immediately shocked: "Does he have evidence? Will he help the Lu family redress their grievances?"
"Let the young master come forward in this matter. Duke Cheng will feel guilty and will definitely come forward." Chu Lianlian tried her best to comfort Lu Ailan, hoping that Duke Cheng would not let her down.
After leaving Lu's house, Ji Fenglin walked aimlessly on the street. He no longer liked to go to the restaurants, teahouses, treasure houses, and brothels that he used to love.
He was too lazy to bother with the concubines in the backyard and often locked himself in the study.
A large part of Yufeng's dowry had been delivered, and Qian Yumei was very efficient. The farms, shops, and cash that were her dowry had been delivered to his yard one after another.
The output and harvest of these years were all converted into silver and sent over. However, many of the precious antiques that came as a dowry had already been given away and would not be easily recovered for the time being.
Ji Fenglin asked Qian Yumei to convert the money into silver to make up for the loss. The dowry items could be recovered, but none of the people who were burned to death that year could be brought back.
That day he put forward his request to Lu Ailan: "Yufeng! After the divorce, I want to visit you often and live with you."
"No need." She refused bluntly, "It's over, there's no need to dwell on it."
"I want to see Su'er from time to time. He is my eldest son."
Ji Fenglin felt a pain in his heart whenever he thought of this. His eldest son was very outstanding and passed the imperial examination at a young age, but he was framed and ended up living away from home.
"Su'er's surname is Lu, not Ji. Ji Fenglin! If you still care about the love we had as husband and wife in the past, don't fight with me for my son. Does the Chengguo Mansion need a son?"
"We don't lack sons, but we lack someone as smart as Su'er." Ji Fenglin sighed, "Qian Yumei's two sons are not very ambitious. The eldest is just a yes-man, and the second is a scoundrel.
There is one bastard among us who is quite clever, but he is still far behind Su'er."
Lu Ailan glanced at him calmly and said, "Su'er cannot return to the Duke of Cheng's Mansion. This is the condition I promised the Chu family. If he really goes back, the Chu family may regret the engagement.
You also know what the Chu family's family education and family tradition are. When they took a fancy to Su'er, they did not despise our rural origins. Their purpose was not to let Lian'er marry into a wealthy family and be bullied.
Qian Yumei is a petty person, and Lian'er is simple-minded, so she is no match for her. Please let the young couple go! Su'er must not return to the Duke Cheng's Mansion."
Hearing this, Ji Fenglin was speechless for a long time.
Yes, my son has been arranged to marry someone very well. The Chu family never takes concubines. If my son comes back, the Chu family will most likely reconsider this marriage.
Even if the son made a promise, it would be useless, especially since he didn't want to come back.
"That's all."
Ji Fenglin had no choice but to compromise. This matter was really difficult to handle. Not everyone could get married to the Qin Palace. If his son really broke off the engagement, the daughter of the Qin Palace would definitely not have trouble finding a husband.
It would be impossible for his son to find such a good marriage again.
Fortunately, he still has a backup son. After Qian Yumei has raised the dowry, it will be time to put the Chengguo Mansion in order.
Now that the lady is gone, many things need to be settled.
If Yufeng hadn't come back, he could have taken his time. But now that she was back, he had to give her an explanation.
Otherwise, even his son will look down on him. What kind of man is he if he can't protect his wife and children?
Three days passed in just three days. Qian Yumei and Yuanshi were very quick in collecting all of Qian Yufeng's dowry.
Nothing in the Duke Cheng's mansion was moved. All of it was Qian Yumei's own dowry and money from her parents' family.
Ji Fenglin personally led people to return the dowry to Lu Ailan, wrote a divorce letter, and filed it with the government. This matter ended perfectly.
Haixinhou Mansion was very surprised to learn that Qian Yufeng was still alive.
I was going to visit her, but when I heard Yuanshi say that she changed her name to Lu Ailan, I didn't want to go anymore. For someone to give up even her own surname, it was obvious how much she didn't want to associate with them.
Yuan Shi kept whispering in Hai Xin Hou's ear: "Master! If you ask me, she doesn't consider us as her family. We were so sad when that happened, but she just ran away alone.
She also went to Taizhou, which is the hometown of the Lu family. What was she thinking? She didn't go back to her mother's home, but went to her maternal grandparents' home, and changed her name to Lu, and even gave her son the surname Lu. "
Hai Xinhou sighed slightly: "Feng'er may have her own difficulties. I heard that the Lu family has no one left. As a woman, she naturally has to rely on the Lu family in Taizhou. It's not surprising that her son has the surname Lu."
Yuan pouted: "What are you talking about, Lord? A woman who is pregnant and goes to another place is not afraid of being laughed at. Duke Cheng is relatively reasonable and can divorce her and let her take back her dowry.
If she were an unreasonable person, they would definitely arrest her and lock her up in the ancestral hall. How can a woman from a wealthy family run away? "
Damn Qian Yufeng, all the things she had worked so hard to get from the Lu family were taken back by her. It was like all the output of the shop she had worked so hard to run for so many years was returned to her without a cent missing.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion she had given Ji Fenglin, but even her daughter turned against her and asked for money, and came back crying if she didn’t give it to her.
There was really no other way, so I had to sacrifice all my money. I had to give it to her! My daughter cried so hard that it was more heartbreaking than if she had died.
Qian Yufeng took away so many things, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to swallow them all in one bite.
When she gets the chance, she will definitely find a way to make her spit it out. That is her money, which she has worked hard to earn.
