Chapter 151 The Husband Sings and the Wife Follows, the Mu Family Is Furious
Mu Ziqian felt aggrieved. If Shen Qing hadn't been a stingy and vindictive woman, how could he have lived like this?
However, the other party was Lu Yan. No matter how unwilling Mu Ziqian was, he could only swallow his breath and reluctantly gave in with a smile.
Lu Yan quickly looked away, as if Mu Ziqian's smile was so irritating, "Miss Shen, should we go to Yangling Marquis to settle the accounts now?"
Shen Qing responded: "Well, let's have a look at Marquis Yangling's place. If we still can't get the things together, we'll have to settle for money."
After saying this, the group of people walked toward Fuchuntang in a mighty manner.
Mu Ziqian leaned on the shoulder carriage and looked at Lin Xuefu, who had a thin layer of sweat on her face, with heartache in her eyes, "Fu'er, can you hold on? If not, I'll have someone find one for you." Should you?”
Doctor Zhang just said a few days ago that Lin Xuefu is still very young and had a miscarriage some time ago, so she must be careful about this pregnancy. Mu Ziqian remembers this clearly.
Just as Lin Xuefu was about to speak, she heard Lu Yan's strange voice, "Tsk, the master of Yanglinghou Mansion is noble. The son sits on the shoulder and the aunt sits on the shoulder. It seems that I, the heir apparent, are worthless. "
Mu Ziqian: "..."
Why does this man's tea smell like tea?
Lin Xuefu: "..."
He's done, isn't he? It's all yin and yang and she's all the way!
Shen Qing chuckled lightly, and not only did not stop him, but he also echoed the words: "I can't help it, after all, we are in other people's houses. We, the prince's son and the legitimate daughter of the prince's house, can only look at other people's faces."
Mu Ziqian did not dare to let Shen Qing buckle this high hat on him, and quickly explained to Lu Yan: "Prince Lu, please don't misunderstand, this is the case, my leg was interrupted by Miss Shen, so I can only Sitting on a chariot, Fu'er was weak and pregnant, so I overstepped my limits because of my worries, and asked the prince to forgive me."
"If Miss Shen hadn't broken your leg, I would have asked you to stand up and walk around twice to show my sincerity."
Mu Ziqian: "???"
Is this something a person can say?
After all this trouble, Mu Ziqian did not dare to let Lin Xuefu sit on the shoulder cart, and quietly leaned on the shoulder cart and acted as an invisible person.
The group of people was not traveling very fast. Seeing that they had not reached Yanglinghou's yard after walking for two quarters of an hour, Lu Yan wondered: "Does Yanglinghou live so far away from Yanglinghou's wife?"
"Yangling Marquis does not have an independent courtyard. Fuchundang is Aunt Xu's courtyard."
Lu Yan was surprised and turned to look at Mu Ziqian behind him. A look of understanding flashed across his face, "No wonder Third Master Mu's life is so miserable. It turns out that even Marquis Yangling is having such a hard time."
After finishing his words, before Mu Ziqian could reply, he looked at Shen Qing beside him with a distressed expression, "I have really wronged Miss Shen this year."
Mu Ziqian was speechless: The most nourishing person in the entire Yanglinghou Mansion was Shen Qing, okay?
The next moment, Shen Qing nodded seriously, "Indeed, fortunately, these days are over."
Lu Yan was very good at showing his sincerity, and by the way, he stepped on the Yanglinghou Palace, "Miss Shen, don't worry, our Jing'an Palace is not like Yanglinghou Palace, which is poor and likes to toss. I don't have a bad concubine." It’s not easy for my father to take care of his wife.”
Mu Ziqian and Lin Xuefu were deeply impressed: "..."
When will these two annoying people leave? They really can't stand it any longer.
It was a total of two-quarters of an hour's journey from Fuyun Pavilion to Fuchundang. Mu Ziqian and Lin Xuefu were violently tortured by Lu Yan for two-quarters of an hour. The moment they saw Yangling Marquis, the corners of their mouths raised in relief. smile.
For the first time in their lives, they felt that Yanglinghou looked so pleasing to the eye.
Marquis Yangling's face was full of reluctance, but he still took the initiative and called "Prince Lu".
Lu Yan responded without being tactful and went straight to the point: "Master Hou, we have agreed on the dowries from Mrs. Yanglinghou, Aunt Lin and the Third Young Master, and now we have to send you here."
Just when Marquis Yangling wanted to say that he didn't have any, Lu Yan spoke up first: "But I see that Marquis Yangling doesn't even have an independent yard, so there shouldn't be any place to put things, right?"
Shen Qing answered for him, "I guess Yanglinghou is the most honest person in the entire Mu family."
On the surface, he is clean; in fact, he is poor.
The corners of Yanglinghou's mouth twitched and he responded: "I don't have anything from Shen Qing, so you don't have to look for it."
Shen Qing nodded and looked at the two accounts behind him, "Now you can summarize it and see how much money the Yangling Marquis Mansion still owes me."
The two of them took out their abacus and clicked for a long time before reporting a series of numbers to Shen Qing, "Miss Shen, the missing part of your dowry is converted into silver taels, which is a total of forty-four thousand eight hundred taels. Including the 10,000 taels that Yanglinghou Mansion borrowed from you and the 10,000 taels that Your Majesty promised Yanglinghou Mansion to compensate you, the total is sixty-four thousand eight hundred taels."
Such a figure was within Shen Qing's expectation, but it was obviously beyond Yang Linghou's expectation.
You got a lot of stuff back and you still owe 60,000 taels?
Is Shen Qing's dowry made of gold?
So Yangling Marquis questioned: "Miss Shen, it's not that I can't trust you, it's that I have to see the account book to confirm that the silver is genuine."
Shen Qing asked the two accountants to hand the account books to Yangling Marquis. Lu Yan came slightly closer to Shen Qing and pretended to lower his voice but in fact he didn't, "I said I was trustworthy, but in fact the account book was... It’s so sanctimonious to be more careful than anyone else.”
The so-called muffled sound clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Shen Qing sighed softly, as if feeling sorry for her former self, "There's nothing I can do. It's been like this for a year, I'm used to it."
The familiar scene of flattering the powerful and trampling the weak came again.
Lu Yan's eyes were full of tenderness, and his voice was full of contempt for the Mu family, "Don't worry, Miss Shen, our Jing'an Palace is not like the Yangling Marquis's Palace, which likes to say one thing in front of you and another behind your back. We Lu family members are the most sincere."
After saying that, she remembered that Yangling Marquis didn't hear some of the words just now, so she repeated them very considerately, "This can be seen from the fact that no one in our Jing'an Palace has a concubine."
Yangling Marquis tightened his fingers holding the account book, and finally chose to pretend that he didn't hear it, because it was useless to hear it, and he couldn't do anything to Lu Yan.
With Yangling Marquis's firepower to attract Lu Yan, Mu Ziqian and Lin Xuefu on the side were much safer.
However, just as this lucky thought fell, Lu Yan had walked to the side of the two of them without knowing when, and asked a very fatal question: "Mr. Mu San and Aunt Lin have such a good relationship. Now they have finally divorced. Will Aunt Lin be promoted to his wife in the future?"
Lin Xuefu's heart stagnated slightly, and her eyes subconsciously looked at Mu Ziqian, wanting to see a positive answer from his face.
Mu Ziqian's expression froze. Originally, he was going to do this according to the planned plan, but now the plan failed, and Shen Qing took away all the dowry. Yangling Marquis's mansion had no support, and Lin Xuefu's lack of family background had obviously become a burden to him.
Seeing Mu Ziqian silent, the expectation in Lin Xuefu's eyes gradually disappeared, and finally turned into a coldness.
Lu Yan "tsk" and just wanted to say "You are quite a scumbag", he heard a questioning voice from Yangling Marquis: "Shen Qing, explain to me, what is the matter with the missing 36,000 taels?"
