Chapter 351: Same Summoning, Just a Change of Person
Lu Jie'en's words made Leng Xian angry and embarrassed.
"You are so bold! How dare you!
Since you know that my father saved your life, you should work like a slave and repay him with a gift of grass and a ring.
Instead of acting as an elder here and scolding and lecturing me.
I am the owner of this mansion.
Since you eat the food of the Marquis' Mansion, you are a servant of this Mansion!
Do you dare to point fingers at me and make irresponsible remarks?
It is your duty to obey my orders honestly.
Isn't it? "
Leng Xian's anger did not cause any emotional fluctuation in Lu Jie'en.
Lu Jien took two steps back and sighed softly, "Alas! Since the Marquis has said so, there is no point for me to say more."
After saying that, Lu Jie'en turned and walked towards the door.
"Stop!" Leng Xianteng stood up suddenly and pointed at Lu Jie'en with a trembling finger. "Does this Marquis allow you to leave?"
Although Lu Jien stopped, he did not turn back, but said calmly: "Whether the Marquis allows it or not, fortunately, I did not sell myself to the Marquis's Mansion.
As for the Marquis's orders, it is a favor to obey them, and it is a duty to refuse them."
After saying that, Lu Jie'en walked out of the room, leaving Leng Xian alone in the room.
Lu Jie'en didn't stop for a moment and quickly left the room.
From the room behind, there was the sound of dishes breaking!
Leng Xian slumped down on the wooden stool.
The idea of trying to get the silver from Prince Yu's Mansion that suddenly occurred to me just now was like a young sprout that had just emerged from the ground. It was pinched off before it could grow up!
Leng Xianyuan thought that as long as he put forward his ideas, Lu Jie'en would give advice and suggestions based on his thoughts, and would even take the initiative to visit Prince Yu's mansion on his behalf.
But he didn't expect that Lu Jie'en was no longer under his control.
It turned out that in Lu Jie'en's heart, he had accumulated too much dissatisfaction and even contempt for himself as the Marquis!
If that is the case, why would the Marquis' Mansion keep such a disobedient servant?
Just drive him away, and you can save one more person's chewing.
But there is no rush for this matter right now.
The urgent thing is how to get the silver from Prince Yu’s Mansion.
In this marquis's mansion, the person who can visit Prince Yu's mansion on his behalf is the mansion's steward Lu Jie'en, who is the most suitable.
But now it seems... there is no need to count on him anymore.
He did not agree with his proposal at all, and it was even more impossible for him to go to Prince Yu's palace to plead for him.
Do I, the dignified Marquis Qinxing, have to go to my future son-in-law in person to ask for money?
Leng Xian shook his head and forced himself to calm down.
Leng Xian went through the people in the mansion one by one...
There is no need to think about my mother and Yin;
Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang...they are all useless!
It's not appropriate for the mother-in-law to come forward...
The butler can’t do it...then what about the accountant?
Compared with the servants in the mansion, accountant Peng Lu is more suitable.
Thinking of this, Leng Xian pounded the table helplessly and angrily, gritted his teeth and shouted outside: "Zhongshun, go find Peng Lu for me!"
Zhongshun was just outside the house. He heard the conversation between the Marquis and Butler Lu, and also saw how Butler Lu left the house.
Zhongshun also shook his head and sighed.
He was still thinking about letting the matter go.
Unexpectedly, the Marquis thought of the accountant Mr. Peng again.
What could Zhongshun do after listening to Leng Xian's instructions?
Even the persuasion of Butler Lu was of no use, as a servant he could only obey orders obediently.
So, Zhongshun responded, turned around and went to the front courtyard, the old place, to find Mr. Peng Lupeng.
Lu Jie'en was called away by Leng Xian, and Peng Lu left the mansion.
He turned to the main street and bought some braised meat snacks from the nearest braised meat shop. He then went to the tavern next door and bought two small jars of wine, then returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as he walked in, put down the jar of wine, opened the oil-paper package of the braised meat snacks he bought and spread them on the table, he heard a noise behind him.
Peng Lu turned around and saw that it was Lu Jien who came in, so he asked casually, "Brother Lu, what does the Marquis want to see you about?"
Lu Jie'en lowered his head and walked to the eight-immortals table and sat down without saying a word.
Seeing that Lu Jie'en looked unhappy, Peng Lu guessed that the Marquis's visit to Lu Jie'en was probably not a good thing.
So, without asking any more questions, he continued to open the seal of the wine jar, took two teacups, and poured the wine into them.
Peng Lu placed one of the cups in front of Lu Jie'en and sat down across the table. "Brother Lu, let's have a drink first!"
Lu Jie'en was silent for a moment and picked up the cup.
The two men's cups clinked lightly, and just as they were about to drink, they heard footsteps outside, followed by Zhongshun's voice: "Mr. Peng! Mr. Peng!"
Peng Lu and Lu Jie'en's hands holding the wine glasses stopped at the same time.
The two looked at each other and turned to look at the door at the same time.
Just now, Zhongshun came to ask Lu Jie'en to come over on behalf of the Marquis, and now he is calling Peng Lu.
Before he could even finish his glass of wine, Zhongshun pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Lu Jien and Peng Lu sitting opposite each other drinking, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Peng, the Marquis wants you to come over and talk!"
It was the same sentence again, but the person who said it changed.
