Chapter 299 Let’s talk about it
The wife of Marquis Yongkang looked at the handful of silver coins, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Humph, you really think you are so rich, but you can’t even take out three thousand taels.
"Don't say I'm making things difficult for you. Since you can't come up with three thousand taels, you'll have to take these twenty strokes of the cane."
"Oh!" Lu Shian screamed in a particularly exaggerated tone, then took out a handful of silver bills.
"Finally found."
The face of the wife of Marquis Yongkang was extremely ugly. She looked at the stack of silver notes in her hand in shock. There were at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. How could she have so much silver?
"How much is left?"
Lu Xianchun cooperated very well: "One hundred taels."
"Oh~"
Lu Shian took out a banknote from a stack of banknotes and said, "No more, no less, exactly three thousand taels."
What did the wife of Yongkang Hou not understand at this moment? "You are kidding me!"
"You said it yourself that as long as you take three thousand taels, today's matter will be over. Now that the three thousand taels have been given to you, can we go now?"
"Hey, you want to leave? Dream on!"
"Come here, give Mrs. Yu 20 strokes of the cane. As for her two daughters, just watch them carefully here. Don't they like to play tricks? Today I will let them know how ridiculous their tricks are in my eyes!"
The servants rushed forward and held down the mother and her two daughters. Yu Xiuying was pressed on a board by the servants!
Lu Shian didn't expect that the wife of Marquis Yongkang would go back on her word, or maybe she was regretting his previous behavior that angered her and made her go back on her word.
Lu Xianchun watched her mother being pinned to the bench, and was extremely anxious. However, she was pinned down by the servants and could not get away. She could only yell in despair, "Mom, please don't. Grandma, please don't hit my mom. If you really hit her with this stick, you and Dad will definitely have a rift."
Lu Xianchun was not used to calling the wife of Marquis Yongkang like that, but at this moment, she would do anything to save Yu Xiuying.
Lu Shi'an was brought back to reality by Lu Xianchun's cry for help. She pushed away the servant who was holding her and rushed to Yu Xiuying. She did not go to protect Yu Xiuying, but went up to grab the stick.
With the stick in hand, she swung it and beat the servant who was holding Yu Xiuying away. The servant who was holding Lu Xianchun was also hit twice by the stick! !
"Get out! Get out! Don't hit my mother!"
Lu Xianchun was freed and ran over to help Yu Xiuying up!
Yu Xiuying stood up from the stool. She had already regained her senses at this moment. She gently pushed Lu Xianchun away, then slowly knelt in front of the wife of Marquis Yongkang!
In the Marquis' Mansion, the wife of Marquis Yongkang is the one who has the final say. She deliberately wants to make things difficult for them, but they cannot escape no matter what!
"Mom, what are you doing!?"
"Mom, what are you doing!"
The two daughters spoke at the same time, they would rather fight with the wife of Marquis Yongkang than beg for mercy from their mother!
The two people hurried to help Yu Xiuying, but Yu Xiuying pushed her two daughters away!
"It's all my fault today. I did this because I was crazy. Madam, please forgive my two daughters. I will accept any beatings or punishments you want!"
"Mom, please don't be like this. This is not our fault." Lu Shian clenched the stick in his hand. "You know why my mother acted like this today. You did it yourself. I don't need to remind you. I never expected you to like us. I also thought you would drive us out, but I never thought you would use such vicious means."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongkang raised her eyebrows and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just say it directly if you have anything to say. Why are you trying to hide it? I want to hear what I have done to make you do this."
"Are you sure you want me to tell you?" Lu Shian looked into the eyes of the wife of Yongkang Marquis and asked again.
"I have always been open and aboveboard in my dealings. Nothing is off-limits. I want to hear what you have to say."
"Well, in that case, let me ask you what's going on with the well in the orchid garden."
"Well? What's wrong with the well in the Orchid Garden? The water in that well is sweet. If my son hadn't asked me personally, do you think I would be willing to let you live there?"
Lu Shian continued to ask: "Yes, the water is sweet, and it is best paired with a deadly chronic poison."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongkang was shocked: "What nonsense are you talking about? What chronic poison? What do you mean? Are you saying that the well water is poisonous?"
Lu Xianchun noticed the expression on the wife of Yongkang Marquis and asked, "Didn't you order someone to do it?"
"What rumors are you talking about? Why would I let someone poison you? If I didn't want to, I would just kick you out of the house. Humph..."
Although it was not said out loud, the meaning was obvious.
In the eyes of the wife of Marquis Yongkang, neither she nor her daughter were worth the money for the poison.
Lu Shian thought of Tian Dayu again. She first suspected that Tian Dayu was the wife of Yongkang Marquis, but today Tian Dayu tipped her off to rescue Yu Xiuying. So Tian Dayu couldn't be the wife of Yongkang Marquis. If Tian Dayu was not the wife of Yongkang Marquis, then whose was he?
Lu Shian looked solemn: "Is it really not you?"
"Of course not. I don't like you and your daughter, but for my son, I am willing to accept you. As long as you behave yourself, I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing. But you just don't listen, and Yu even dared to smash my beloved vase..."
Yu Xiuying was completely panicked at this moment: "It's not you, how could it not be you? You don't like me, and you don't like my three children..."
"Why should I like you and your daughter? You shouldn't have come to the Marquis' Mansion. You should have died last year in the flood. Your presence only embarrasses my son and the Marquis' Mansion!"
Mrs. Yongkang Hou spoke word by word. She really hated this mother and daughter. Her son had been hurt badly by Old Lady Ye and should not be dragged down by this mother and daughter again.
Her son should be matched with a better woman. The future mistress of the Marquis's Mansion will not be a country woman, nor will she be from a small family like Dong Xuan'er.
Realizing that what the wife of Marquis Yongkang said was not a lie, Lu Shian stood there and fell into deep thought.
How could this happen? How could this happen?
Yu Xiuying was even more dumbfounded. She kept repeating in her mind: She was in trouble, she was in trouble...
She implicated her daughters and her own man.
Lu Xianchun's mind kept turning: "If it wasn't you, who else would attack us?"
Lu Shian glanced at Lu Xianchun, they already had the answer in their hearts.
Lu Jinghui, it's Lu Jinghui again!!!
The wife of Marquis Yongkang also understood at this moment. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the three people in front of her, mother and daughter.
If someone poisoned the well in Tinglan Garden, then it would not be just one or two people who would be poisoned, but everyone...
And I have been eating the food cooked by Yu Xiuying frequently during this period, so isn't that a sign of poisoning? ?
Mrs. Yongkang clenched her fists nervously at the thought that she might have been poisoned.
