I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 204: Misfortunes never come singly

Although it was difficult to say what he wanted to say, Peng Lu thought about it again and again and decided to say it.

Peng Lu stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to the Marquis, Yi'an Hall just reported that the old lady woke up this morning, but she was frightened to see the empty house and had a stroke!

Nanny Ye took the lead and invited a doctor to see the old lady.

However, after the doctor came, although he gave the old lady acupuncture and prescribed medicine, there was no immediate improvement.

The doctor's consultation fee and medicine costs totaled less than twelve taels, which was paid in advance by... Madam Ye with her own money.

Now the accountant in this mansion doesn't have a single penny. What's next... What's next...

There are dozens of people in our mansion, this... this...

My Lord, you must make a decision as soon as possible!

Also, right now, the rice in the kitchen can only last for a few days.

However, the fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits used daily are all bought fresh every day, and it is impossible for the mansion to have extra reserves.

Now... now the account office has no money, and the people in charge of purchasing can't go out. Today's lunch and dinner...

Next, what should we do in the days ahead, Lord, you have to make a plan!"

“Got it, got it!

You guys go out and let me calm down and think carefully.

Get out!" Leng Xian waved his hand irritably.

Several people looked at each other, turned around and retreated quietly.

Zhongshun closed the door, looked at Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu, and the three of them walked away together.

Qiu Gui asked Zhong Shun: "Where is my wife now?"

“When we left just now, Madam was still in Chaoyang Garden.

Now…it should still be there now." Zhongshun said.

Qiu Gui nodded and moved her heavy legs to Chaoyang Garden.

There was no way out. She knew that the days ahead would be difficult.

But, she was a slave.

No matter what, she has to serve her master. There is nowhere to hide!

Here, Zhongshun, Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu were standing far away from the study. They looked at each other, all of them at a loss.

Whether it was the housekeeper, the accountant, or the servant Zhongshun, what could they do?

Leng Xian in the room was so anxious that he almost pulled out all his hair.

How is he going to break this predicament?

Leng Xian looked at the roof and wailed in his heart.

He was originally the Marquis of Qinxing.

Although his family background is poor and he is burdened by his in-laws, it is a marquisate after all.

Fortunately, he had tried his best to marry Fu Baozhen, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Anguo, and with the support of Fu Baozhen's huge dowry, his Duke Qinxing's Mansion was truly rich and glorious!

But why has it come to this?

I can only blame my mother’s surname, Yin, and my mother’s greedy and seductive niece…

Yes, it was because of these two Yin girls that he lost Fu Baozhen, offended the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, angered the Emperor and the Empress, and ruined his promising career. In the end, he was left with only a title.

However, because his only son was born to Yin, the emperor refused to grant him the title of crown prince.

Without a crown prince, the title of Marquis Qinxing would end with him.

He had originally thought that with the emperor's marriage, he could restore the glory of the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion!

But what about now?

In the mansion of Marquis Qinxing, many people were sick or injured, and all their property was lost!

And I...my body was obviously seriously injured.

I have been feeling dazed, listless, and weak these past two days, and I didn't go to court.

Moreover, because he did not ask for leave, he angered the emperor and punished himself.

Thinking of this, Leng Xian shuddered all over...

broken! broken!

Yesterday, because I was unconscious, no one went to the court to ask for leave on my behalf. The emperor has punished me with ten strokes of the cane and deducted my salary for three months.

Then today... today...

I didn’t go to court today either, and... no one asked for leave, right?

that...that...

Thinking of this, Leng Xianhu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat...

"Zhongshun, Zhongshun..." Leng Xian shouted loudly outside the house.

Zhongshun, who was outside staring at Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu, heard Leng Xian's hoarse shouting and hurried over.

Zhongshun pushed open the door and rushed into the room, "My Lord, what do you want to call me for?"

Leng Xian looked straight at Zhongshun and said, "Zhongshun, I was unable to attend the court today. You... you... did you send someone to ask for leave today?

Have you asked for leave for me?"

Leng Xian asked this question, and Zhongshun was so frightened that he stood still.

After a long while, Zhongshun knelt on the ground with a plop. "My Lord, my Lord, I...I...I was so busy with the affairs of the mansion that I forgot...I forgot again!"

At this moment, Leng Xian felt like banging his head against the wall!

He also wanted to beat Zhongshun, the dog slave, to death!

Yesterday, the emperor's oral order to punish criminals with ten strokes of the cane and a three-month salary deduction came down, and those who deserved to be beaten and fined are still pending!

Today... today I made the same mistake again, this... this...

Yesterday was considered a first offense, so I was given ten strokes of the cane and a three-month salary deduction, which was considered a light punishment but a serious warning.

But today... if the emperor believes that I really intend to defy the imperial court's orders and challenge the emperor's majesty...

The more Leng Xian thought about it, the more scared he became, and he was already shaking with fear!

"You little dog slave, you little dog slave, you've killed me!

What are you still kneeling here for?

Hurry up and ride your horse to the palace to ask for leave from me, hurry up!

If we wait for the eunuch to come... then... then...

Do you want to... do you want to kill me?

Do you want to kill me?"

After hearing this, Zhongshun quickly climbed up with his hands on the ground and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away, right away..."

This time, I have no choice but to report to the police!
