Chapter 83 Lu Kuan

When Qin and the old marquis heard Cheng Yunshuo ask this, they were all startled, especially Qin, "What's wrong?"

"Something big has happened in the capital recently. The Duwei Mansion has received more than a dozen murders in a row, all of which are related to loan sharking. This has alarmed the higher-ups, and they want to conduct a thorough investigation of loan sharks."

Cheng Yunshuo looked at the people at the table with a serious face, "Whoever is found to have lent money at high interest this time will be in big trouble, and His Majesty will punish him personally."

When Qin heard this, her heart was pounding with intense fear and secret joy.

She had experienced the emperor's wrath once before, and the Duke of Qin's Mansion had not recovered until now. If the emperor wanted to investigate something, it would be very strict and no one could escape.

And she...just before the New Year, on Lu Lingyun's suggestion, she stopped the loan!

Qin immediately looked at Lu Lingyun.

Lu Lingyun still looked calm and composed. "Mother, we are a kind-hearted family. I have said before that lending money at high interest rates is against the law and we should not do this. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, that's right!" Qin couldn't help but said excitedly.

She couldn't help but feel lucky that she had married a good daughter-in-law who saved her family from such a disaster.

The next day, the old marquis, who had been ill for a long time, attended a court session. Just as Cheng Yunshuo had said, the emperor was very angry about the usury issue. He attacked several large lenders, led by those who had frantically snatched money when the Cheng family withdrew from the usury market.

The most serious case was that he was stripped of his title and official position, stripped of his court robes, beaten with twenty sticks, and his property was confiscated, and he was demoted to a commoner.

The others who lent less were also named one by one, fined their salaries, and banned from collecting usury. Among them was the Li family.

Being fined and not allowed to recover the usury is still considered good, but being singled out will affect your future career!

After returning home, Li's father and son scolded Wei, who had lent money at interest, and took away her power to manage the family, which was still under the control of Li's mother.

Wei didn't dare to say anything. He just kept a low profile and felt very aggrieved.

Lu Hanyi, who was originally angry, felt relieved when she saw Wei's misfortune. The whole Li family was in panic, but she was the happiest one.

She rolled her eyes and ran to Wei to ridicule her.

"Hey, isn't this the fierce, fair and just sister-in-law of our Li family?" Lu Hanyi came to Wei with her big belly and mocked her.

When Wei saw her, he was immediately filled with anger.

She had been scolded by her husband and father-in-law these past two days. Not only had her housekeeper power been taken away, but a lot of her dowry had to be added to the money. Her life was already difficult enough, and Lu Hanyi still came to provoke her.

"Hey, what are you doing here, sister-in-law?"

"It must feel bad to be scolded. Sister-in-law, just tell me about it." Lu Hanyi looked at her with a smile.

Wei was so angry that her teeth itched. "Mind your own business!"

"I'm managing my affairs very well, so there's no need for you to worry about it, sister-in-law." Lu Hanyi looked happy.

Wei sneered at this time, "Really? Then do you know what your second brother did when you were away?"

When Lu Hanyi heard this, her smile suddenly froze. She looked at Wei in confusion, "What did you say?"

"Sister, you should go back and ask your second brother in person." Mrs. Wei looked at her with a gloating look, "The girl in your second brother's room has been with him for a long time."

The face of a maid named Xiangxue flashed quickly through Lu Hanyi's mind.

She didn't argue with Wei any more and went straight back to her room.

After loaning money, Lu Lingyun gained Qin's further trust, and Qin gave her more power.

In the past, she was only asked to look at the account book, but now Lu Lingyun wanted to do whatever she wanted and arrange the business of the shop and farm, and just let her make the decision.

Lu Lingyun now has more power.

While she was arranging the work at hand, she heard the servant coming hurriedly to report.

"Young Madam, please go to your mother's house."

"What's going on?"

"I heard that your sister, the second young lady, had an accident and was in labor."

After hearing this, Lu Lingyun hurried to Lu's house.

When I arrived at Lu's house, I found out that Lu Hanyi had caught Li Wenxun and his maid Xiangxue having an affair today.

The two of them were together while she was at her parents' home.

She was so angry that she started to make a big fuss. No one knew who started it first, but she fell down and her body was bleeding, and she almost got into trouble.

Now he is crying at Lu's house.

Lu Lingyun raised his eyebrows after hearing this. It was true that Li Er was not a loyal person.

She had already seen through the affair between him and her maid.

It’s just that this life seems to have happened a long time ago.

When Lu Lingyun arrived at Liu's courtyard, she saw Lu Hanyi, who looked much weaker and lying on the bed to protect her pregnancy. When Lu Hanyi saw her, she yelled at her, "Why didn't you tell me that he had been having an affair with his maid for a long time!"

Lu Lingyun: “….”

"How do I know he's having an affair with his maid?"

Lu Lingjun said slowly.

After she said this, Lu Hanyi stopped her rage. Yes, she didn't know that Lu Lingjun was also reborn.

Liu also said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister came to see you and give you justice. How would she know all this?"

Lu Hanyi felt extremely aggrieved for a moment, and all the grievances and resentments in his heart finally turned into a snort.

"Sister, are you regretting marrying Mr. Li?" Lu Lingjun said lightly.

"I have no regrets!"

"I'm glad you don't regret it. I thought you said that because you regretted it."

Lu Hanyi gritted her teeth. She had chosen the path herself and had to endure the hardships herself.

She stopped talking. Li Er also came at this time. This time it was not Lu Lingyun's turn to speak. All the people in the Lu family scolded him harshly.

This was not the last time Lu Hanyi was in a bad mood. This time it was Li Erxian who was wrong and he could only bear it.

Lu Lingyun looked at this scene and could only sigh, because no matter how Li Er treated her in her previous life, no one stood up for her.

But the irony is that after everyone scolded Li Er, they asked Lu Hanyi to forgive him.

Encourage the two to reconcile.

Lu Hanyi was throwing a tantrum, and everyone gradually began to criticize her, saying that she was jealous and that she also had problems.

Lu Hanyi was so angry that he felt even more aggrieved.

When Lu Lingyun saw this, she immediately felt that this person should never trust or rely on anyone, and the only person he could always rely on was himself.

This means that if you stand up for your family members, in the end, you will become a plaything in the hands of everyone else, and they will manipulate you according to their own interests. There is no absolute love at all.

But unfortunately, after Lu Hanyi was reborn, she still couldn't see through this truth.

Lu Lingyun joined everyone in scolding Li Wenxun a few times and gave him a few warnings, but then she didn't say anything more. After she left here, she had only one thought in her mind.

To become more powerful and influential.

"Shuanghong, call my brother Lu Kuan over."
