Chapter 150: The Fragrance of "Tea" Overflows, and Prince Lu Completely Defeats Lin Xuefu
With one sentence, all Lin Xuefu's remaining polite words were blocked.
Lin Xuefu's expression changed again and again, and it took a while before she returned to her original appearance.
"What Prince Lu is saying is that news about my concubine has been delayed."
Shen Qing did not talk nonsense to her, and directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Aunt Lin, take out all the things that I gave to Madam Yanglinghou after I came here, and those that Madam Yanglinghou gave to you."
Lin Xuefu looked uninformed, "Young Madam..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yan interrupted and corrected him, "It's Miss Shen."
Lin Xuefu took a deep breath before continuing: "Miss Shen, weren't you the ones you gave to your aunt? Why do you want to take them back now?"
After finishing speaking, he pretended to say something wrong unintentionally, and quickly explained: "Ms. Shen, I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask. After all, those things were given to me by my aunt, and I have always cherished them, so I just thought of asking one more question.”
Shen Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, and turned to look at the female accountant behind him, "Go to Aunt Lin's house and check carefully which of my dowries are in Aunt Lin's hands. Some will be taken back directly, and those that are not will be directly converted into silver. Write it down."
In order to facilitate the search, Haitang specially invited two accountants, one male and one female, to come in handy at times like this.
Lin Xuefu's face suddenly darkened, but she still didn't want to lose her dignity in front of Shen Qing, so she pretended not to care and looked at Xinrui, "Follow the accountant to check the young lady's dowry. Be more careful. Make no mistake."
Xin Rui agreed and took the accountant and Chanyi into the house with a pale face.
Every step she took felt heartbreaking pain, but she didn't dare to say it.
Shen Qing sat down on the chair, and Lu Yan sat beside her in a good mood.
Lin Xuefu hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to sit down.
With Lu Yan here, she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Not long after, the accountant and Xin Rui came out, because Lin Xuefu didn't have a few things left in her hands.
During this period, Lin Xuefu was buying poisons and recuperating her body, using the money she got from selling Shen Qing's dowry.
Shen Qing looked at the four or five pieces of jewelry held by Mr. Accountant and smiled suddenly, "I remember that at the end of last year, Mrs. Yanglinghou gave Auntie Lin a fine jade hairpin, why is it missing? "
Lu Yan's voice followed, "Could it be that Aunt Lin sold it out?"
After he finished speaking, he continued to ask and answer himself: "That shouldn't be the case. I remember that Aunt Lin just said that she cherished the things Mrs. Yanglinghou gave her. Maybe you didn't look carefully?"
Mr. Accountant said that she would not bear the blame and said quickly: "Hui Shizi, Cao Min, Miss Xinrui and Miss Chanyi looked inside and outside three times, but they really didn't see the jade hairpin."
Lu Yan nodded and returned his gaze to Lin Xuefu, "That should be treasured by Aunt Lin."
Lin Xuefu: "..."
No, what happened to Prince Lu today? Why did he suddenly talk so much and push her into the pit with every sentence?
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuefu responded with an embarrassment: "Miss Shen, as you know, the situation in the house has been going on in the past six months. My cousin has been sick and bedridden. I was strapped for money, so I had no choice but to pawn the jade hairpin. "
Lu Yan took a sip of tea and wondered: "I have squandered so much of Miss Shen's dowry and still don't have the money? Is the expense of your Yangling Marquis Mansion more expensive than that of our Prince Jing'an Mansion?"
Lin Xuefu's breath was stuck in her throat again, and she finally chose to throw the blame away directly, "I don't know who I am, the prince, but Miss Shen has always been in charge of the eunuch in the house."
Lu Yan didn't answer and asked Yin Yang to go back, "Has it always been in your Yangling Marquis Mansion that the dowry is given to whomever is in the palm of your hand? It's really not easy for Miss Shen."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to look at Shen Qing with a sincere look on his face, "Don't worry, Miss Shen, our Jing'an Prince's Mansion is not like their Yangling Marquis Mansion. We have money. By the way, I will give you all my money from now on."
Lin Xuefu took another deep breath to suppress her emotions that were about to go berserk, but she said nothing.
She finally figured out that Lu Yan came here to find a place for Shen Qing.
She said that if Lu Yan could criticize her ten times, then she might as well not say anything.
Shen Qing was almost laughed out loud by Lu Yan, but she still did not forget about the business, "Prince Lu, we should go to Mr. Mu's place."
Lu Yan stood up cooperatively, with a smile spreading between his brows and eyes.
Lin Xuefu's tooth ached due to the sweetness between the two of them. Seeing that the two of them were gone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could completely let go, Shen Qing's voice sounded again: "It concerns the entire Yangling Marquis." Auntie Lin, please come with me."
Lin Xuefu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but found that Haitang and Chanyi did not follow Shen Qing, but stayed where they were and stared at her.
She was in no position to refuse.
When they arrived at Mu Ziqian's Hongyan Hall, they saw Mu Ziqian locking himself in the room and threatening to see no one.
Lu Yan walked to the door and asked half mockingly, half probingly: "Isn't it possible that Third Young Master Mu was almost breached by Xiu?"
"Puchchi——"
Chanyi really couldn't bear it this time. Today, Lu Yan seemed like a different person. The coldness and calmness of the past had completely disappeared. He was full of yin and yang to every member of the Mu family. However, It sounds really satisfying.
Lize's face was full of confusion. Where did his master learn these messy skills?
The room was silent, and Lu Yan spoke again: "Mr. Mu San is so arrogant that even this prince is not worthy of him opening the door."
As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, the door was opened from the inside. Mu Ziqian explained with a forced smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, you are joking. I fell asleep just now, so I came a little late. Please don't blame me, Prince."
The status of Jing'an Palace is higher than that of the princes and princesses. Mu Ziqian can't afford to offend him.
Shen Qing was surprised. This was the first time she saw the expression called "fawning" on Mu Ziqian's face.
Lu Yan didn't buy it, "Mr. Mu San's body is too weak. This prince didn't sleep all night last night and didn't feel sleepy. You can't sleep a few hours less?"
Mu Ziqian pursed his lips in displeasure. As a man, the last thing he wanted to hear was others saying that he was weak.
But after thinking about it, Mu Ziqian understood that Lu Yan was most likely jealous of him. After all, in Mu Ziqian's eyes, Lu Yan was not good enough.
Without bothering with an inhuman man, Mu Ziqian happily let the accountant go in to search, of course, he didn't dare.
The accountant came out faster this time, because Mu Ziqian's house could be described as penniless.
Except for a large carved bed, a pear wood wardrobe and a set of tables and chairs, there was nothing else, not even a valuable vase.
As for why Mu Ziqian fell into such a situation, one was that most of the good things he got from the wife of the Marquis of Yangling were given to Lin Xuefu, and the other was that since Shen Qing cut off his monthly salary and expenses, he had no money to support his mistresses outside, so he sold all the valuable things in the house. Later, he wanted Shen Qing to give him another set, but Shen Qing ignored him, and finally Mu Ziqian could only continue to live there.
Lu Yan was silent, and after a moment, he said with disdain: "As a son of the Marquis, you can do this, and you are also a talent."
