Chapter 112 Picking up the ashes

"roll roll roll!"

"I want to see how you can live a good life without me!"

When Lu Yuanze saw the appearance of the Hou Mansion, he felt heartbroken.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the gate, speaking harshly to Mrs. Xu.

Seeing the people around him pointing and laughing, Lu Yuanze's head felt dizzy.

"Without the Xu family, the Hou family will be left alone."

"There are really several broken walls. Hahaha..."

Lu Jinghuai stepped forward to support his father.

"Father, everything is in Jinghuai."

"Today's humiliation will be unforgettable in Jinghuai's mind."

"Jinghuai will definitely pass the Jie Yuan exam and pass the San Yuan exam to bring glory to his father and make the Hou family famous." Lu Jinghuai said loudly.

The depression in Lu Yuanze's heart dissipated a little, and he squeezed Lu Jinghuai's hand tightly: "Yes, father still has you."

"Tomorrow, my father will go to court and appoint another heir apparent."

"You have been away for more than ten years, and I have wronged you all these years. My father should have brought you back a long time ago. You are a paralytic with an inkstone, and you have wasted many years in the Hou Mansion." Lu Yuanze sighed.

"The house needs to be tidied up first. I..." Lu Yuanze originally wanted to spend his own money to buy some things for the house.

But his pockets were empty.

Xu takes care of everything in daily life. After eighteen years of marriage, he has never worried about money.

He thought for a while and then found a cash box to pay some loan sharks.

When the shopkeeper saw Mr. Lu Hou, he said with a bitter face: "Mr. Hou, you are an official of the imperial court. If you catch us borrowing money from usury, something will happen."

"Besides, the 30,000 taels you borrowed last time has now reached 33,000 taels, and you haven't paid it back yet."

Lu Yuanze was furious: "Thirty-three thousand? I've only borrowed it for a month, how come it's an extra three thousand taels of silver?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Master Hou, what you borrowed is usury. This is how the interest is compounded."

"Master Marquis, let's return the last one first, right?"

"Why are you short of money? Your wife's purchase costs more than a thousand taels." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Hey, this morning Zhongyong Hou's house was at peace, and the news spread throughout the capital.

It is said that the Xu family completely demolished the Hou Mansion, and now the Hou Mansion is really just a mess.

Lu Yuanze looked ugly. Hearing the shopkeeper's intention of making fun of him, he turned around and left with a calm face.

Being able to loan loan money in the capital should not be underestimated.

Lu Yuanze thought for a long time before clearing out the properties of the Hou Mansion in the past years.

Mr. Xu is very good at managing the industry. The industry that was half-dead at that time is now doing very well.

There are three villages and three shops in the Hou Mansion.

The Hot Spring Villa is the largest and was originally intended to be given to Lu Jingyao, but unfortunately the Xu family gave it to Lu Chaochao.

"Sell two shops and repair the Marquis Mansion first. Then buy some furniture. Don't want to wrong the Jinghuai brothers and sisters." Lu Yuanze felt that his life was very tight.

After selling two shops, I only got 6,000 taels.

It cost three thousand taels to repair the Hou Mansion.

I have three thousand left, so I can buy some furniture and barely move in.

As soon as Mr. Pei entered the door, his expression suddenly darkened.

Bang bang bang...

He smashed the new tea cup on the table to pieces.

"Damn Mrs. Xu!!" Mrs. Pei gritted her teeth and suppressed her voice, why why!

She defeated the Hou Mansion and became the mistress, but the Hou Mansion...

The Hou Mansion is an empty shell!

"Why are there only 600 taels of silver in the books? How could the Marquis's mansion, which is so large, only have 600 taels of silver? Did Mrs. Xu embezzle the property of the Marquis's mansion?!" Mrs. Pei's eyes were red, and she stared, frightening the little maid beside her. Shivering.

She was born into the Hou family and was left in the Hou family.

There are more than 130 slaves in the Hou Mansion, half of which were bought by Xu and have been taken away.

All the sons of the Hou family stayed here.

They regret it, if they had known, they would have let Madam buy them.

"The Marquis Mansion doesn't have many properties. The three shops are all run by my wife. There is also a village. I only live there for a few days in the summer a year. There is not much property."

"The Marquis earns more than two hundred taels of silver a year, and there is no money on his books at all. It's all... the dowry supplement from the previous wife."

Mrs. Pei was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Six hundred taels?

The entire Hou Mansion is only six hundred taels?

The little maid paused, almost crying under Mr. Pei's murderous gaze, and then said: "Tomorrow, the house will distribute moon silver. About one hundred and sixty taels."

This does not include household expenses.

Pei's vision went dark and she fainted from anger.

Lu Chaochao's family was extremely happy at this moment.

"Mom, do you live at my grandma's house?" Lu Chaochao asked, holding the big dog in his arms.

Mrs. Xu touched her daughter's head and shook her head gently.

She had always frowned, but now her brows were relaxed.

She has three sons and one daughter. The children are older and have self-esteem. Even though it was her natal family, she didn't want her children to live under someone else's roof.

"My mother bought a large house with five in and five out in Yulin Lane. She had prepared everything early and was just waiting to move in." Mrs. Xu had already planned the divorce, so how could she be embarrassed.

Yulin Lane is closer to the palace and has a better location than the Marquis Mansion.

"Wow, new house, new home... porridge." Lu Chaochao got out of the car and went straight to his new home.

"Lu Mansion."

A smile appeared on Lu Yanshu's lips. From now on, this will be their new home.

The Marquis looks down on them and looks down on them, but they want to live a good life!

The children each chose their own yard, and Mrs. Xu arranged a reunion dinner.

At this moment, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

In order to celebrate Lu Jinghuai's return to the clan, Lu Yuanze hosted a banquet for his colleagues.

"On Lu Chaochao's birthday, those who sent congratulatory gifts should also send an invitation." Lu Yuanze said lightly.

The old lady was cruel and took out two thousand taels from the coffin book, twitching with distress.

This is what Xu once gave her as a filial piety.

Night banquet.

"Master Marquis, Lord Shangshu declined."

"Master Marquis, Master Song kicked the young one out."

"Master Marquis, the Minister of Rites is ill and can't come."

Most of the posts sent out were rejected, except for a few colleagues who knew him.

Lu Yuanze couldn't come to Taiwan.

It's strange, obviously they also sent Lu Chaochao a full moon banquet gift.

Lu Yuanze didn't think much about it, he just thought that he was causing displeasure by referring to the outer room as his main wife.

Fortunately, many classmates from Lu Jinghuai came to congratulate him on recognizing his ancestor.

Lu Jinghuai drank a few more drinks.

In a daze, he seemed to see Su Zhiqing.

After not seeing her for a few months, she has become as beautiful as a jade, and she has long lost her original youthfulness.

He shook his head, and with the help of alcohol, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Zhiqing's wrist: "Okay, you have ignored me since you entered the Marquis' Mansion. What? Do you really like Lu Zhengyue?"

Lu Jinghuai felt aggrieved today and was already a little depressed.

Su Zhiqing panicked and wanted to withdraw her hand.

"If you don't reply to letters, you will avoid me when you see me. Su Zhiqing, don't forget, you are my woman!"

"What? Lu Zhengyue is so nice that you have feelings for him? Huh?" Lu Jinghuai lifted her chin.

Su Zhiqing's beauty turned pale and her face changed drastically.

"Bastard, do you know that I am you..." Before she could finish her words, Lu Jinghuai kissed her and blocked her lips.

boom……

The maid outside opened the door, the teacup in her hand shattered, and she stared at Lu Jinghuai blankly.

"You bastard, what did you do to your little girl?!" The old patriarch drank too much and came out to relieve his hangover. He turned around and saw the woman in Lu Jinghuai's arms.

This is not the genealogy he personally entered!

Is Lu Yuanze married? ! !
