The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 275: Complaint

Time flies.

Soon it was the seventh day of the New Year.

Lu Changning felt hungry when he saw the same old pickled vegetable porridge every day, and drank the whole bowl of porridge clean.

"Mom, when will our people arrive today? I can't wait any longer."

Ning Yuer also finished her meal. She wiped her mouth and said, "Why rush? Today is a big day. Let's dress up first."

"it is good!"

Lu Changning agreed.

The two of them came in a hurry. When they first entered the mansion, they were still wearing mourning clothes. They had no contact with the outside world for days, so naturally they had no new clothes.

Fortunately, the weather was cold, so they wore several layers under their mourning clothes, so now they have one layer to help them keep their faces looking good.

However, no one has been serving them these days, let alone washing their clothes. The clothes they wore today were actually worn a few days ago.

Ning Yuer looked carefully and found that there were even marks of rice soup on her collar.

She quickly found some water and wiped it vigorously with a towel.

"After today, we will be the head of this mansion. I will make Leng Qingyu and the others suffer for the rest of their lives for the hardships they have endured in the past few days."

Ning Yuer said gritting her teeth.

Lu Changning raised his lips, looked outside and said, "How can we just endure these hardships? Mother, we have to let them experience what it's like to be hungry and naked."

"Yes, yes, yes," Ning Yu'er was delighted. "I just want them to regret everything they are doing now. When they come to beg for mercy, I won't even look at them."

Ning Yuer imagined Leng Qingyu kneeling on his knees begging her, and she felt so happy.

After the mother and son finished cleaning up, they sat in the house waiting, but until noon, there was no movement outside.

"Mom, who gave you that note? Is it fake?"

Lu Changning began to worry.

"impossible!"

Ning Yuer was also a little flustered, but she couldn't admit it.

"The person who gave me the note was a very unfamiliar maid. Although I don't know her, who else but our own people would know such details about this matter? There is only a date on the note, and others don't understand its meaning at all."

Lu Changning felt a little relieved. "Then wait a little longer. Anyway, the note didn't mention the time, maybe it will be in the evening!"

"Yes, maybe it really is night."

Ning Yuer also echoed.

In fact, they did not wait until evening. Just after noon, there was movement in the courtyard of the marquis's mansion.

"Mom, mom, listen to the noise outside."

Lu Changning pulled Ning Yuer and wanted to run outside, but as soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by someone.

Aunt Zhang squinted at the two of them and said, "What's wrong? Are you two restless again? Still want to run away? I'm telling you, you can't run away from this place while I'm here..."

Before she could utter the word "door", Nanny Zhang was stunned by a vase coming towards her.

It turned out that when Lu Changning came out, he had already thought that Nanny Zhang would stop them, so he prepared a vase in advance and hid it behind him, and as soon as Nanny Zhang appeared, he threw it at her.

Nanny Zhang collapsed to the ground, covering the wound on her forehead with her hands and crying out in pain.

Lu Changning took this opportunity to pull Ning Yuer out of the courtyard gate.

The front yard was a bit chaotic, but Lu Changning still heard the key sentence from the chaotic voices.

"Both mother and child are ill."

"I can't come out to see guests now."

"If there's anything, just tell me."

"..."

Seeing that Leng Qingyu was about to ruin their plans, Lu Changning quickly shouted, "Don't listen to her nonsense, we are in good health!"

As they spoke, the two of them ran into the crowd.

The visitor was Guanzhong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Seeing Lu Changning and Ning Yuer running over from the path, an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.

He turned to look at Leng Qingyu, and said in a bad tone: "Mrs. Lu, didn't you say that the two of them were too sick to get up? What's going on?"

Leng Qingyu was not panicked at all. He glanced at Ning Yuer and her son and said calmly, "Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong. They are already well."

Lu Changning had already reached the two of them, panting slightly and said, "Nonsense, my mother and I are not sick at all, please don't lie to me, sir."

"You two live in the mansion like blood suckers, and when you get sick you ask the mansion to pay for your treatment. Why would I lie to you about this?

Am I wrong to let you guys recuperate in the yard?"

Ning Yuer immediately retorted: "Leng Qingyu, why are you pretending? You are not asking us to recuperate, you are..."

"What is that..."

Leng Qingyu asked with a sneer.

Ning Yuer was about to answer when Guan Zhong waved his hand to stop her.

"Okay, okay, now is not the time to worry about these things. I came here today because I have something important to announce. Now that everyone is here, I will tell you."

"Sir, please speak!"

Lu Changning couldn't wait any longer.

Guan Zhong said, "The Ministry of Justice has thoroughly investigated Lord Lu's affairs, and all the details have been reported to Madam Lu. As for the heir to the Marquisate..."

Guan Zhong was interrupted by Leng Qingyu just as he said this.

"In our dynasty, the law states that the title is inherited by the eldest son. Even if there are any changes, it is the emperor who issues an order. I wonder what position Lord Guan has to interfere in the inheritance of the title in our mansion?"

Guan Zhong seemed to have been prepared. Hearing Leng Qingyu's question, he just smiled and said, "Madam Lu, you should know that the case of the Marquis was originally handed over to our Ministry of Justice. During the process, we found out about the Ning mother and son. We have reported everything to the court. The emperor is very busy and has issued an order to hand over the matter to our Ministry of Justice. So it seems that it is not appropriate for me to come here to explain this matter today. In fact, I have indeed obtained the emperor's permission."

"This matter may seem like an ordinary case to Lord Guan, but it concerns the future of our mansion. As the only head of the mansion, you should at least inform me first of any outcome from the Ministry of Justice, right?"

Leng Qingyu asked again.

Guan Zhong didn't take it seriously and chuckled, "We in the Ministry of Justice always handle matters impartially. There are two sons in this family. If we tell the wife the result first, it will inevitably be unfair. It is better to announce it in front of everyone."

"What an unfair thing to say!"

Leng Qingyu suddenly became stern in his words, "The matter of inheriting the title is originally our family affair. The Ministry of Justice insists on interfering. Isn't it out of selfish motives?

Besides, my Jing'an Marquis Mansion has worked diligently for the court for so many years, and now I can't even make decisions about my own family affairs. I want to meet the emperor and file a complaint!"

Leng Qingyu said this and walked out.

She never let Guan Zhong tell her the result he wanted to announce, because Leng Qingyu knew that the result would definitely be unfavorable to her.

She couldn't let him say it, she was afraid that once he said it, everything would be irreversible.
