Chapter 353: Hungry Wolf Family Flees Far Away
Leng Xian looked at Peng Lu for a long while before he spoke: "It's like this, it is said that one person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long.
I have just asked Steward Lu to come over because I want to discuss something with him.
At the same time, regarding this matter... I would also like to hear Mr. Peng’s opinion.”
Peng Lu could guess what Leng Xian was going to say, and he felt really ashamed, so he asked knowingly: "I dare not!
I wonder if you have any advice for me, Lord. Please speak to me in person."
Leng Xian looked at Peng Lu, still with the same set of feelings, still with the same set of high-sounding statements -
It simply means that he was worrying and working hard for the sake of the servants in the marquis's mansion, and he was willing to sacrifice his own dignity as a marquis.
Peng Lu sat there listening, thinking that the man in front of him could describe a shameless scoundrel in such a high-sounding way, which was quite a skill!
Peng Lu really wanted to say directly: Lord Marquis, you are so shameless!
I don't want to be embarrassed with you!
I want to resign from my job at the Marquis' Mansion. I'm sorry I can't serve you anymore!
But Peng Lu suddenly thought of what Butler Lu had said before...
Butler Lu mentioned "sin" and "evil"...
Thinking about all these years, I watched Leng Xian, Yin, Old Lady Yin, and even what the two young masters did...
Especially when I think of my late wife’s death…
Peng Lu felt a chill on his back and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
I'm afraid I can't easily say my resignation at this time!
Leng Xianming obviously wanted him to go to Prince Yu's mansion to discuss the loan...
Uh... saying she was borrowing money was a nice way of saying it. It was obvious that she was asking for it by using the name of the eldest lady!
The kind that you borrow but never return.
If I were to say at this time that I didn't want to go, that I wanted to resign and leave...
I wonder...will Leng Xian, the Marquis of Qinxing, let me walk out of the gate of the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion alive in his rage and disgrace?
Peng Lu thought about it and decided...it would be better if we take it slow.
Or, you can pretend to be polite to him in person and not provoke Leng Xian directly;
After that, among the Thirty-Six Strategies, running away is the best one!
Thinking of this, Peng Lu instantly put on a humble and respectful expression on his face.
Peng Lu bowed to Leng Xian and said, "My Lord, our mansion is facing a difficult situation right now, and there has been no news of the case being solved from Lord Zheng of Shuntian Prefecture.
Right now, the thief cannot be caught and the property cannot be recovered...
I don’t know how long the Marquis’ Mansion will have to endure such days...
Alas! It is hard for the Marquis to worry so much about the people in this mansion!
Peng really admires you!
But I wonder what the Marquis thinks now?
If I can help the Marquis relieve a little of his worries and lend a helping hand, I will do my best! "
Peng Lu's words made Leng Xian feel a little better.
Leng Xian nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face, "Mr. Peng, once the two doors of the Marquis' Mansion are closed, we are family!
I am not afraid of being laughed at by you now.
Even though I am a dignified marquis, I would never have imagined that such a disaster would befall our Marquis Qinxing's Mansion one day!
Now, not only the property in the mansion was stolen, but also my salary...
Alas! The emperor also punished me by deducting my salary because I was late for the morning court session.
Not to mention the distant future, just take the three meals a day for the dozens of people in our house, which has become the biggest problem!
In desperation, I thought... There are only two ways to get out of this predicament -
The first thing is to bring the eldest lady back home as soon as possible.
After all, the eldest lady owns many shops and farms.
As long as the eldest lady returns home, the problems in the Marquis' Mansion can be solved immediately.
Now, the whole capital knows that the Marquis' Mansion was robbed, but the eldest daughter has not returned yet. It is obvious that the Anguo Mansion is interfering.
They may have concealed this matter from the eldest daughter, not letting her know that her house had been robbed;
Or maybe the eldest young lady already knew it, but everyone in the Anguo Mansion stopped her, deliberately not allowing her to return to her family as soon as possible, and deliberately not allowing her to lend a helping hand to her family's predicament.
Ugh!
It may be because I remarried after my first wife passed away, which caused the Anguo Mansion, that is, my in-laws’ family, to have many misunderstandings about me, and they have never been able to let it go.
Because of this, they have repeatedly targeted me and made things difficult for me in every way possible!
However, the Anguo Mansion is my father-in-law's family after all, and my eldest daughter's in-laws' family...
I am concerned about our family ties. No matter how hard they try to make things difficult for me, I will have to give in step by step for the sake of my late wife!
But... as long as the Duke of Anguo's Mansion refuses to show any consideration for her feelings, and on the contrary, takes the opportunity to embarrass the Marquis of Qinxing's Mansion, wanting to make the situation even worse for the Marquis of Qinxing, I'm afraid that the eldest lady will... it will be difficult for her to return home as soon as possible...
Therefore, we have only one other way to go..."
Having said that, Leng Xian closed his mouth and said nothing.
Peng Lu looked at him with lowered eyebrows and naturally did not say anything.
For a moment, the small room fell into silence.
Peng Lu secretly laughed at himself.
It’s true, people have two pieces of skin on their mouth, and it depends on who the mouth is on.
Listen to what Leng Xian, Marquis of Qinxing, said. He was putting all the blame on the Anguo Mansion!
He himself did countless despicable and ugly things, but he described himself as a misunderstood victim who cared about family affection!
Ha ha!
He also said that the eldest daughter was not at home and that the Anguo Mansion deliberately blocked the eldest daughter from returning to her family!
Family...haha!
Among these so-called family members, which one is the real family?
Each of them was like a hungry wolves with red eyes and bloody mouths, wanting to devour the eldest lady's property and take her life!
If I were in the situation of such a family, I would run as far away as I could!
How far, hide as far away as possible!
