Chapter 211 1 Family, how can it be considered stealing
Leng Qingyu's words made Ye Xinran couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
She is really worthy of being a mother. She even knows the art of making tea.
Everything Lu Tingen wanted to say was blocked by Leng Qingyu's words.
"I, I didn't mean to favor her!" Lu Tingen explained quickly.
Leng Qingyu sighed, as if a stone in his heart fell to the ground, "That's good!"
She turned to the officers and said, "Excuse me, please take this man back and ask him about the origin of this hairpin."
"Please rest assured, Madam! We will definitely find out the truth! Let's go, take the person away!"
Several officers escorted Ning Yuer away.
In order to cooperate with the questioning, Banxia also followed.
Lu Tingen and Old Madam Lu both looked unhappy.
Leng Qingyu looked at the Marquis and said, "The government office is still waiting for news from us, why don't we go back to the mansion as soon as possible to take inventory."
"it is good!"
Lu Tingen had no choice but to agree.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her heart began to beat.
Leng Qingyu was not at home some time ago, so she took out a lot of good things from Leng Qingyu's warehouse.
In addition to those distributed to the second and third rooms, some was taken away by her and given away through connections.
Now that Leng Qingyu has checked the warehouse, wouldn’t it be easy to find out?
What about the gifts she gave me? I can't ask for them back.
Do I have to take it out from my own warehouse?
When Mrs. Lu thought about taking money out of her own warehouse, she felt like a piece of her heart was cut out.
That was the result of her life's hard work!
But if Leng Qingyu is not compensated, this vicious woman will put the blame on Yu'er again.
How could Yu'er, such a good child, suffer such injustice?
And Changning, he is such a good student, he will definitely get top spot in the imperial examination in the future. How can such an excellent child have a tainted mother!
Thinking of this, Madam Lu had to make up her mind:
Then let Leng Qingyu be happy for the time being.
Anyway, her things will belong to the Lu family sooner or later.
Not only her, but also the children she gave birth to, can't expect to get anything!
Her dowry was Zhiyi's.
The title of the Marquis's Mansion belongs to Changning.
After Leng Qingyu died, her two children would never be able to take a penny from the Lu family!
Thinking of this, Madam Lu's mood finally improved a little.
……
After returning to the mansion, Leng Qingyu immediately asked the maid to take out the dowry list from that year and began to count the items in the warehouse.
Over the years, Lu Tingen had also secretly taken away a lot of good things from her warehouse.
Leng Qingyu always turned a blind eye.
Even when she learned that Lu Tingen took money from her, she felt a little happy.
I'm glad that the Marquis is finally no longer so formal.
Thinking back now, Leng Qingyu felt more and more that he was stupid and pitiful.
Fortunately, God treated her well after all. Not only did he help her find her daughter, but he also allowed her to see the true face of this man.
Leng Qingyu and the maids began to take inventory of the warehouse, and Lu Tingen began to become restless.
He stole a lot of things from the warehouse for Ning Yuer. If Leng Qingyu found out and sent someone to check Yuer's house, then everything would be over!
He suddenly had a bad feeling: the things that had been planned were developing in an unpredictable direction.
Lu Tingen hesitated for a long time, and finally went to the backyard to find his mother.
When the old lady saw her son coming, she just glanced at him sideways and then asked the maid to count the things.
Lu Tingen was a little surprised.
"Why is mother also counting the storeroom?"
Madam Lu turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "You are a marquis, but you can't even manage the affairs of the inner house. In the end, don't you have to have me, your mother, to clean up the mess for you?
Leng's dowry is so much less, and I think she is unwilling to give up today. Now I can only take things from me to make up for it for her temporarily, and we can deal with the rest later."
Hearing his mother say this, Lu Tingen burst into tears of gratitude.
My mother has always been very careful with these belongings, so it is really great that she is willing to take them out to help him out of his urgent need.
"Thank you, mother. I will never let you suffer any loss in the future."
Mrs. Lu sighed.
"If you had listened to me earlier and solved the Leng family earlier, there wouldn't be all this trouble today."
Lu Tingen lowered his head, "It's all because of my son's greed. If it weren't for the treasure map in the hands of the old man of the Leng family, he wouldn't have..."
"That's all!"
The old lady knew that her son had his own difficulties in doing things in the court.
All he said was: "We can worry about other things after we solve the current problems."
"it is good!"
Lu Tingen was embarrassed.
Leng Qingyu's marriage was glorious.
The horse-drawn carriages carrying the dowry alone took up an entire street.
It is time-consuming and laborious to count them now.
At the yamen, Ning Yuer's confession kept changing, sometimes one way, sometimes another.
If Lu Tingen hadn't asked someone to make arrangements in advance, Ning Yuer would have been beaten several times.
Now the county magistrate dared not release the person, nor did he dare to treat him harshly. He could only keep him in prison and wait for new news from the Lu family.
Three days later, Leng Qingyu finally finished the inventory.
In addition to the expenses recorded in the accounts over the years, there were also some small and insignificant things, and the total amount of property lost from the warehouse was more than 30,000 taels.
"Mother, before at Ling'an Temple, you said you gave things to the second and third wives. I came back and asked them, and they only said they got a few hundred taels of silver. Where did the rest go? Could it have been stolen by that woman?"
The old lady looked extremely unhappy.
"She is a woman with no connection to our house, how could she steal so many things?
Your Leng family is one of the richest businessmen? Why are you so careless about such a small amount of money? "
Leng Qingyu was so angry that he laughed.
"Mother, although my family is rich, our money did not come from the wind.
How come my mother has become so generous that she doesn't even care about 30,000 taels of silver!
Since mother is so wealthy, why should she let the second and third wives cause unrest in the mansion because they can't afford to eat? "
The old lady fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and almost broke the string that strung the beads.
After calming down, Madam Lu finally said, "I'm not being generous, but the Buddha is merciful and all beings are equal. I can't bear to let an innocent woman be implicated in the affairs of my Lu family.
The things that were lost in your warehouse were actually taken away by those two good-for-nothings from the second and third rooms.
We are all family, and they didn’t take much, so let’s just forget about it.”
Leng Qingyu acted as if he was greatly surprised.
“So it was my second and third brothers who did it?
I give them one thousand taels of silver as household allowance every month, and yet they still come to steal from me."
Madam Lu slapped the table and said, "We are a family, how can this be considered stealing? It's taking!"
