Chapter 224: If you want to rob someone, you should rob Lu Xiang
Zong Li nodded: "Yes."
"Isn't he engaged to Miss Liu? How come he is engaged to the fourth Miss Lu?" Huo Yi asked again.
Zong Li looked at him expressionlessly and said, "If you want to know, go ask Ah Man yourself."
Is it okay for a grown man like you to be so gossipy?
Huo Yi immediately lifted the curtain and poked his head out: "Ah Man, is it true that your Fourth Miss was engaged to Xiao Muheng first, and now he has broken off the engagement and asked to marry Prime Minister Liu's daughter, so your Third Miss is going to make the decision on behalf of your sister and let Xiao Muheng cancel the marriage with the Liu family and marry the Fourth Miss?"
Ah Man glanced at Huo Yi sideways, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "You think too much."
As the sun sets in the west, a layer of darkness slowly covers the sky and the earth.
The few people who sent Lu Mingzhu to the manor returned to the Lu Mansion with bruised faces and noses, which scared Manager Du.
"You...what's wrong with you guys?"
A servant clenched his fist and said indignantly: "Manager Du, the fourth young lady was kidnapped by the people of the Xiao Mansion."
When Manager Du heard this, his eyes jumped and he looked at them in astonishment: "What? Are you sure they are from the Xiao Mansion?"
Another servant nodded immediately, "Sure, they said so themselves."
Oh, this is a serious matter.
"Come with me to see the master." Manager Du instructed and hurriedly led his men to the study.
When Lu Youping heard about this, he was completely stunned and asked hurriedly, "Tell me what happened at that time."
The servant responded and told the whole story after their carriage was stopped. As Lu Youping listened, his face gradually darkened.
"Master, we did see that the person sitting in the carriage was Young Master Xiao."
Lu Youping was so angry that he slammed the table: "Xiao Muheng, you are openly provoking me."
What made him even more angry was Lu Mingzhu, who actually wanted to be Xiao Muheng's concubine and slave. Was her identity as the fourth lady of the Lu family an injustice to her?
"Master, what the Fourth Miss did is really inappropriate." Butler Du sighed and shook his head.
Lu Youping looked at the people standing in front of him, pointed at the two servants in the front, and said, "You two, follow me to Xiao's house now."
If Lu Mingzhu is not found, who knows what Xiao Muheng will use her to do to harm the Lu family.
Ever since Xiao Muheng and Liu Anyao got engaged, he has set about buying a mansion and is now asking craftsmen to speed up the renovation. Before moving into the new mansion, he will still live in the rented courtyard.
When Lu Youping took people there, Xiao Muheng was not at home.
"Sir Lu, what do you want to talk to my young master about?" the steward asked, bowing respectfully.
Even though the Xiao family was clinging to the Liu family, they did not dare to disrespect Lu Youping.
Lu Youping asked in a deep voice: "I have one cup of tea to call Xiao Muheng back to me."
Not here?
Is he busy hiding his daughter?
The manager looked at the furious Lu Youping and grumbled in his heart, but he didn't dare to chase him away. He quickly sent a servant to go to the shop to call someone.
In less than a cup of tea, Xiao Muheng came back.
"Lord Lu." Xiao Muheng bowed expressionlessly and called out.
Lu Youping glared at him and snorted, "Xiao Muheng, you are so bold that you dare to kidnap my daughter. Hand her over quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muheng frowned fiercely, "I don't understand what Master Lu is saying."
"You are playing dumb with me. You dare not take responsibility for what you did? I haven't even come to settle accounts with you for breaking off the engagement, but you actually relied on the power of the Liu family to blatantly snatch me away. Do you think that no one in my Lu family is easy to bully?"
Lu Youping's aggressive words made Xiao Muheng's face look ugly: "Lord Lu, be careful with your words. When did I ever take advantage of the Liu family's power to snatch someone away? Besides, what is there in Lu Mingzhu that is worth snatching away from me now?"
She has no use value, nor is she a beauty. He has no time to avoid her, so he would be stupid to try to snatch her away.
Even if he wanted to rob, he would rob Lu Xiang, not Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Youping was so angry that smoke came out of his head. He slammed the table and cursed: "You are a dog who relies on the power of others. The servants in my mansion clearly saw you take my daughter away with your men, and you still don't admit it."
Xiao Muheng's face was cold, and he said in a bad tone: "Lord Lu, you are accusing me of something. If there is no crime, then there is no crime. You, the Lu family, can't take care of your daughter, so you come to frame me. I don't admit it. Lord Lu, if you have nothing else to do, please go back."
This is directly asking someone to leave.
Lu Youping looked at the arrogant Xiao Muheng and his mouth trembled with anger.
"Let me find out if you did it."
Xiao Muheng said in a deep voice: "Lord Lu, I am now the son-in-law of the Liu family. What qualifications do you have to search my house?"
Lu Youping pointed at Xiao Muheng and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you wait for me."
After saying that, he left angrily.
Xiao Muheng looked at his leaving back, a sinister gleam flashing across his deep eyes.
Lu Youping returned to the mansion, thought about it, and went to Fuyuan Hall.
Lu Xiang was chatting and laughing with the old lady to comfort her, while Mother Wen was preparing dinner.
"Why do you have that expression?" the old lady asked, looking at Lu Youping who had a grim expression on his face.
Lu Xiang lowered his eyes slightly to hide the murderous look in his eyes, and when he looked up again, he had a well-behaved look on his face.
She had been paying attention to the situation in the front yard, so she naturally knew that her father had gone to Xiao Muheng to ask for Lu Mingzhu.
Lu Youping told the old lady about Lu Mingzhu: "...No matter what, we still have to find Mingzhu first. Xiao Muheng is too arrogant."
The old lady was furious after hearing this.
Lu Mingzhu is such a restless girl that she can still cause trouble when she is sent to the farm.
The girl who was raised by a concubine is so shameless that she is eager to marry Xiao Muheng.
Lu Xiang suddenly asked, "Dad, could it be that Fourth Sister is being hidden by Xiao Muheng in his newly bought mansion?"
Lu Youping and the old lady looked at her at the same time, with confusion on their faces.
"What do you mean?" Lu Youping asked.
Lu Xiang said, "Ah Man told me that she saw Xiao Muheng holding a woman in his arms and riding in a carriage towards Changming Street before dusk. The woman was unconscious and leaning in his arms, so her appearance could not be clearly seen. Now that I heard what my father said, could it be that the woman Ah Man was talking about was my fourth sister? Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence."
"That must be it." Lu Youping said with a dark face, "So he hid the person in the new mansion. No wonder he was so arrogant. I was sure that I would not think Mingzhu would be there."
Xiao Muheng’s newly purchased mansion is on Changming Street.
"I'll go find the Jingzhao Yin and conduct a house search now." Lu Youping said as he was about to get up and walk out.
"Father, why don't you go find the Duke of Anguo first? Xiao Muheng now has the support of the Liu family. I'm afraid the Jingzhao Yin wouldn't dare to accept this task." Lu Xiang said.
Lu Youping glared: “He dares!”
The old lady said at this time: "Xiangxiang is right. If you ask Duke Anguo to say something, Jingzhao Yin will not dare to fool you."
No one is stupid when it comes to offending Prime Minister Liu and Minister Lu.
Who says that the Jingzhao Yin is not a fair person?
