Doting on concubines and destroying wives?I am no longer the mistress of Houmen!

Chapter 85

Why did King Huan have so much to do with her family's affairs?

It's not good for Lin Yunwan to talk to the steward at Lu's house, so she asked him to wait a while, and wrote a letter to her younger brother when she went back to Cuisi Hall.

"Recently, the fact at home is delaying his studies. In charge, you tell Yun Yi, just write back to me, don't come here specially."

The steward agreed, took the letter back to Lin's house, and first gave the letter to Mrs. Lin, asking Mrs. Lin to leave it to Lin Yunyi.

He went to one of the largest pawnshops in the capital and pawned the jade pendant.

The shopkeeper of the pawn shop looked at it, nodded and said, "It's a good thing. Come with me."

I took steward Lin to write a pawn ticket.

Pawning tickets is very particular, and laymen don't know the words on it, so the shopkeeper wrote slowly, and even chatted with Manager Lin: "Have you seen you before?"

Guanshi Lin said: "...Really?" He looked very puzzled: "I don't know you."

Soon I don't want to look into the shopkeeper's eyes.

During the years when the Lin family suffered disasters, they were frequent customers of the pawn shop. Later, some things were redeemed and some things were not redeemed.

This time it was just to be an unimportant jade pendant, so he didn't want to admit that he was the steward of the Lin family.

If rumors spread, I thought something was wrong with the Lin family.

The shopkeeper didn't ask any more questions, he wrote the pawn ticket and said, "Put your fingerprint on it."

The steward pressed his fingerprints, and the shopkeeper said, "You pay both money and goods. You take it."

Manager Lin nodded, collected the money and left, and muttered after returning: "After all, it is the capital city, and the pawned money is more."

It was dozens of taels more than when he inquired in Zhongzhou, so he readily agreed.

The shopkeeper of the pawn shop took the jade pendant and said to the clerk, "Look at the shop, I'll go see the owner." He took another jade pendant and took them to Prince Huan's mansion together.

Ah Fu happened to be in the mansion, and he heard that the shopkeeper of the pawn shop had something important to do, so he came over in person.

"What amazing things did you collect? Why do you still want to see the prince?"

The shopkeeper handed over the two items with a smile, and said, "It's a bit of a surprise, please take a look."

Ah Fu went to and from the palace and saw many good things since he was a child. He knew at a glance that one of the jade pendants was truly extraordinary. He let out a "Yo" and said, "Where did you get such a treasure?"

The other thing the shopkeeper said first was the one pawned by Guanshi Lin. He said: "This is the jade pendant pawned by the Lin family. You told me before that the villain should take care of Taifu Lin's family. I haven't come here to pawn for several years, but the villain dare not forget your explanation, this time I still didn't let Taifu Lin's family suffer."

Ah Fu immediately looked at the jade pendant pawned by Manager Lin, and said, "Why is the Lin family pawning things again?"

What happened to the Taifu's family?

The shopkeeper quickly said: "Probably not. It doesn't look like you need money urgently, and the shopkeeper is not reluctant to part with or cherish this jade pendant."

Ah Fu said: "Who is this jade pendant?"

What he took was the jade pendant that Ge Baoer entrusted his mother-in-law to pawn.

The shopkeeper paused for a moment before saying, "...he's from the Marquis of Wuding."

Ah Fu frowned: "What's going on?"

The shopkeeper said what happened that day: "You can also see this jade pendant, first-class suet jade, first-class carving, look at the back, there is a leopard's tail..." It symbolizes who's identity. One line, recognized at a glance.

He lowered his voice and told Ah Fu.

Afu's eyes widened.

"The young one was taken aback when he saw it, the pawnbroker is still a low-class woman, how dare the young one accept it!"

At that time, he wondered if someone picked up or stole the treasure from the master's house and pawned it secretly.

If the investigation is carried out, the prince knows that the jade pendant fell into his hands, and he is afraid that he will blame him.

"The villain pretended to accept it, and asked the assistant to chase after him. He actually saw the carriage of the Marquis of Wuding's residence. There was a seal of the Marquis's residence on the carriage, so he recognized it. That woman is from the Marquis of Wuding's residence."

Ah Fu looked at the leopard tail on the jade pendant, and frowned even more.

How did this jade pendant fall into the hands of the wife of Wudinghou's mansion?

The big shopkeeper said: "The little one knows that the matter is very important. I think that if this jade pendant is lost in the mansion, I will definitely look for it all over the capital, but the jade pendant came out of Wudinghou's mansion. The little one can't make up his mind, so it took a few days to find it." When I heard the news, I sent it together with the things from Taifu Lin's house..."

Originally, I thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing. If the owner of the jade pendant really finds it, he will return it to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, so as not to get involved in that troublesome matter.

But things didn't develop in the direction he expected at all, instead there was another Lin family.

The matter between these two families is now full of turmoil, so he has no choice but to leave it to his master to make a decision.

Ah Fu nodded and said, "Go back. Keep your mouth shut!"

The shopkeeper said: "The villain knows."

Ah Fu waited for Qi Lingheng to come back from the official department, and handed over the two jade pendants to him.

"Although this jade pendant from Taifu Lin's family is a good item, it's nothing important. Take a look at the pawned piece from Marquis Wuding's mansion..."

Qi Lingheng didn't pick up the jade pendant, looked up, frowned and said, "Why is this jade pendant pawned?"

Ah Fu was also surprised: "It was the people from Wudinghou's mansion."

Qi Lingheng said: "Go and investigate in private, don't say anything."

Ah Fu went, and there was news soon, which was really surprising.

"Did you quarrel with someone outside?"

When Mrs. Lu saw Lu Zhengliu and smelled the alcohol all over his body, her complexion became uneasy.

Lu Zhengliu pursed his lips and said, "Who told you?"

"No one told me, you just pretend I don't know!"

Mrs. Lu sighed: "Don't fall for this. The Lu family survived seven or eight years ago, but they can't survive now?"

Lu Zhengliu lowered his head and said, "Grandmother, grandson has not fallen."

"Then you go out to drink and quarrel with people?"

Lu Zhengliu said helplessly: "I want to go out and make some reliable friends, recruit a few talented and learned staff, and seek some property in the future. The mansion can't sit still, Longbow and Brother Qing still need money to pave the way."

Mrs. Lu was quite surprised.

The grandson has more backbone than she thought.

Lu Zhengliu clenched his fists angrily, with a stern look on his face: "People outside are all bowing down! I couldn't be more angry, so I drank some wine and talked drunk with a few friends outside. Nothing. What happened."

Mrs. Lu can imagine how her grandson was wronged.

She said distressedly: "You think it's all good, take your time."

Lu Zhengliu was dejected, resigned from Mrs. Lu, and went to see a scholar again.

It is said that he is a man of great talent, and he is very insightful about the current situation of the government, but it is a pity that his talent is not met.

"If he is really talented, I will definitely treat him favorably."

Together with the referrer, go to Jialing Tower, one of the best restaurants in the capital, to meet that person.

"The rice wine from Jialing Tower is very good, sir, you should try it later."

As soon as Qi Lingheng and Zhang Cifu met in Jialing Tower, he first brought the wine here, he looked like a regular visitor to Jialing Tower.

Zhang Cifu said politely: "You recommended it, the old man must try it."

The two were chatting and laughing, but before entering the room, they always said insignificant words.
