Chapter 35: Lang Yan is unique
"Don't worry, we will bear witness for you! If the Lu family dares to ask you to pay back the money again, we will find the censor and sue him!" said the old man indignantly.
"Yes, yes!" everyone agreed.
"Master Lu, have you thought it through? Do you want the land deed or your sister?" Shopkeeper Wen seemed a little impatient. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and urged.
Lu Wanrou saw Jiang Xu standing behind the crowd. She had hoped that he would step forward, but she saw that Jiang Xu didn't even look at her. He turned coldly and went back into the hall.
"Brother, let's sell the ancestral home!" Lu Wanrou was held by two thugs, and she said desperately, "There is no other way."
They want to live in the Lu Mansion in Beijing, so it is impossible to sell it. They can only sell the ancestral home.
Everyone waited quietly for Lu Changqing's answer. After struggling for a while, he stood up and handed the deed to Shopkeeper Wen: "Let my sister go, and you can take the house deed and the land deed!"
"Wouldn't it be better if you told me earlier?" Shopkeeper Wen happily took the deed and dusted it off. "Then Sir Lu, I will go back first. I will let you know after I find someone to estimate the price. If there is more, I will refund you. If there is less, I will pay you."
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked someone to release Lu Wanrou.
"Second brother!" Lu Wanrou threw herself into Lu Changqing's arms, still feeling a little scared. "Forget it, let's just sell the land in Linyao. We won't live there anyway."
"Wait!" Lu Changqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the people from Jinxiuzhai fiercely. "The fifteen-day deadline has not yet arrived. This deed is considered as collateral. If I pay off the debt by then, please ask your master to return the deed to the ancestral home to me."
This businessman who looks down on others!
As long as Miao Yan behaves well on the Flower Festival, he will surely be promoted step by step, and high position and generous salary will be within reach. By then, not to mention five thousand taels, even ten thousand taels will be no problem!
Shopkeeper Wen smiled, folded the deed, and asked his men to keep it. "Of course, I will wait for good news from Lord Lu."
"Now that the matter has been resolved, Madam Zhao, please lead them away!" Fang Qianxue said tiredly, "Don't disturb my peace here."
"Yes!" The old lady was about to lead Manager Wen to leave, but she saw him walk up to Fang Qianxue and bow respectfully.
"Please forgive me for disturbing your peace today."
"I can't afford it." Fang Qianxue didn't have a good impression of this profit-seeking businessman.
"In a few days, my master will come to your house in person to apologize to the madam." After saying this, Manager Wen bowed and took his leave.
Fang Qianxue looked at the fat man's back and frowned deeply, feeling that the fat shopkeeper was speaking in a sarcastic way and was threatening her.
I didn't say anything, did I? Did I offend Jinxiuzhai? It must not be a good thing for his master to come to the door in person.
But she was not very afraid. After all, she had the eldest princess' godmother there, and she could still handle the situation in Jinxiu Zhai.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Fang Qianxue and Lu Changqing stood at the gate of the Lu Mansion to personally see the eldest princess off.
The prince consort Lin Siyuan deliberately pulled Lu Changqing aside to chat, leaving Xiao Mingjie and Fang Qianxue to talk alone.
"I've read the letter you asked Yan Fenghua to send me." Xiao Mingjie looked at the street in the distance and whispered, "Prince Yong is dead. It may not be that easy to overturn the case. It's better to bury the case with the dead to avoid involving more people."
If one wants to overturn the verdict on Grand Tutor Fang, one must first overturn the verdict on Prince Yong, which is almost impossible to solve.
Not to mention that most of the witnesses have died and there is no evidence to prove the crime. Even if it can be proved that Prince Yong did not commit treason, Emperor Ming would never admit that he had wrongly killed his own son.
"I just want to give my grandfather justice." Fang Qianxue said, "At the very least, that letter of repentance was a frame-up."
"So what? It's not His Majesty who has the final say now, but..." Xiao Mingjie hesitated and glanced at her, "Qianxue, have you forgotten what Master Fang said? He told you not to interfere in this matter and to protect yourself."
Fang Qianxue frowned.
She understood what the eldest princess meant. Now all power was in the hands of Empress Yang and Prime Minister Yang. The Empress obviously wanted to support the frail and sickly young son to ascend the throne. When her grandfather nominated Prince Yong as the crown prince, it was already a taboo in the Yang family.
Although the eldest princess wanted to help her, she was powerless.
"I know, godmother."
"What do you think of Young Marquis Jiang?" Xiao Mingjie suddenly asked.
Fang Qianxue was thinking about overturning the verdict when she heard this sentence. She was a little dazed: "Very...very good, what's wrong?"
Xiao Mingjie looked at the handsome Jiang Xu standing next to the carriage and said with a smile, "Look at him, he is so handsome, there is no one like him in the world. A man who is only twenty years old is really a flower."
"Godmother!" Fang Qianxue looked around, then glanced at the prince consort, and lowered her voice and said, "You are not trying to change my godfather, are you? How sad the prince consort would be if he knew!"
