Lu Boting and Lu Boyong faced off for a moment in Fengyage. Although they each harbored resentment in their hearts, they had nothing to do with the other at this point. They glanced at each other angrily and left immediately.

Back in the courtyard, Lu Boyong looked at the furniture he had accumulated and said reluctantly: "Go quickly and hand all the money back to the mistress's courtyard."

"Third Master, if we return everything, once the Lu family falls, we will have no way out."

The boy reminded.

Lu Boyong clenched his fists and his eyes darkened: "Now I have to take a gamble. After all, my sister-in-law treats me well. If I really leave the Lu family at this time, how will I meet my late brother in the future?"

After thinking for a while, he added: "Although Wen Qian is a bit cold-tempered and eccentric, he does have some abilities. He can lead the Lu family to save the day every time. I have a hunch that this time he can also save the Lu family." Rise again.”

"The Third Master's vision has always been extremely accurate."

The young man frowned and said: "Even if the housekeeper's wife has taken in all the servants in the house, how can we support hundreds of people? I'm afraid that the money that the master will return is just a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the housekeeper's wife is not a good person in the first place. The master of housekeeping."

"Wen Qian is always very cautious in employing people. I don't believe that he is so stupid that he dares to easily entrust family affairs to Mr. Lu Shen."

Lu Boyong carefully recalled what Lu Shen had done in the past year, and always felt that this person was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, deliberately pretending to be confused.

"Let her go."

Lu Boyong's eyebrows flashed, and he said with a sly smile: "Anyway, I am just a person whose body is about to be buried. Even if I accompany them to make trouble, I also want to see what Mr. Lu Shen can do to support such a big family. "

The young man nodded thoughtfully: "If the Second Master can rein in the situation, then the Lu Mansion may be able to find a turning point immediately."

"The second one is so evil."

Lu Boyong clenched his fists angrily: "I'm afraid that with my sister-in-law's temper, she really won't hold the second brother accountable."

"Could it be that the Third Master thinks that the Second Master will not hand back the money?"

said the boy.

"Wen Qian's wife is also confused."

Lu Boyong said: "That's 10 taels of silver, and she said she wouldn't pursue it."

Not to mention the [-] acres of fertile land donated by the Song family.

……

In the second-bedroom courtyard, Lu Wenchi thought about what his father had done, and the anger in his heart was completely written on his face.

"Father, the Lu family is at a critical moment right now. How could you do such an outrageous thing behind your eldest aunt's back?"

Lu Wenchi couldn't help but scolded.

"Don't listen to your third uncle's nonsense."

Lu Boting refused to admit it to death: "I have never touched the money in Nanyuan's warehouse."

Lu Wenchi saw that his father was determined to steal the money.

It's just that his father's method of hiding money has never been simple. Without any evidence, he couldn't find the money directly, let alone betray his father out of justice.

"Let's not talk about the money. The matter of the ten thousand acres of fertile land in Tanzhou is always a fact."

Lu Wenchi urged: "Since the second sister-in-law has opened the way for me, father should quickly hand over all these fields to the second sister-in-law to take care of."

"You stupid boy."

Lu Boting glared at him with hatred: "Your third uncle now has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. He even knows how to plan for his own future. There are dozens of people in our second room. If you hand over the land to the public at this time, you can call the whole family Everyone drinks the northwest wind and goes away."

<divclass="contentadv">"Is it possible that my father is so convinced that the second brother has no ability to save himself?"

Lu Wenchi said: "It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Lu family is really in decline, just the backlog of silk brocades in various warehouses can be converted into a lot of money. Why should my father only value this small profit and lose money due to small mistakes?" big."

"Not to mention that the Lu family is still being watched by various officials. Without the identity of the imperial merchant, who dares to ask for those backlogged goods, and who can ordinary people afford to buy them? Sooner or later, they will rot in the warehouse, and there is no way to stop it. A few coins."

Lu Boting refused to listen to his son's advice. Instead, he made up his mind and said, "Do you want to bet on the future of the whole family? The land donated by the Song family was indeed bought by Yan Dynasty from those states. , who would have thought that Song Chuyuan was harboring evil intentions, and now that something happened to the Lu family, I can’t be blamed on it, and I feel at ease. The only blame is on Yan Chao, who was overly concerned and messed up the matter."

As soon as the words fell, he immediately urged: "Hurry up and pack up. Let's move to Tanzhou immediately to save your second sister-in-law from regretting it."

"Father is so confused that he takes it so seriously."

Lu Wenchi was unwilling to give in and persuaded again: "Second brother will definitely be able to solve the current predicament. How can father have the face to see second brother and eldest aunt again in the future?"

"You are simply unreasonable. How could I have given birth to such a fool as you?"

Lu Boting said angrily: "Now that the Lu family has lost its status as an imperial merchant, and the Song family is hard at work, what do you think your second brother has to do to bring the Lu family back to life?"

After saying these words, he left decisively, too lazy to pay attention to this senseless thing.

Anyway, if I don't ask for any more property from the Lu family, my sister-in-law will just choose to settle the matter and not embarrass myself at this juncture.

……

In Fengya Pavilion, Qu Yunchu was busy counting the accounts sent from various places, and then heard Xiao Ning come to report that Lu Boyong had returned all the furniture that had been resold, and only Lu Baiting was preparing to leave the house with his second wife.

Although this result was unsatisfactory, it at least calmed down the family separation turmoil.

"Go and ask the county magistrate to come over and write down the family separation documents clearly."

Qu Yunchu ordered.

Afterwards, he took a few boys and went straight to the outer courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, I watched Lu Baiting put all the old and young people in the mansion into carriages, but he didn't take anything else away from the mansion.

She stepped forward and smiled coldly at Lu Boting: "Second uncle left very decisively, but you have to think carefully. If you step out of this door today, you will be two families if you want to step into this courtyard again in the future. "

"Thank you to my niece-in-law for her magnanimity. I will also say this today. From now on, whether I am dead or alive, I will have nothing to do with the Lu family."

Lu Boting said swornly: "Please also ask my niece-in-law to convey this to my sister-in-law."

"Second uncle, don't worry. I have always kept my promise. Since I said I will not cause trouble to my second uncle, I can rest assured that I will leave the house and live a good life."

Qu Yunchu was afraid that he would have psychological baggage, so he ordered the boys to help carry the luggage of the second room into the carriage. He waited until Xie Junyi came over and signed the documents of separation of the family and left the documents in black and white before letting him go.

Seeing the carriages and horses from the second room galloping away, Xie Junyi couldn't help frowning and said: "Zhiyi, are you really going to let Lu Boting go like this?"

"if not."

Knowing that he had doubts, Qu Yunchu explained with a smile: "On the day of the Lu family's chaos, the property lost was more than 10 taels of silver. How could Lu Baiting be convicted based on Lu Boyong's words alone? Besides, even if the 10 taels were found, Silver is just a drop in the bucket for the Lu family right now."

Even if Lu Boting is dealt with, the second room is clamoring to separate the family, and messing up Lu Wenqian's plan will be more than worth the loss.

As for the Song family's ten thousand acres of fertile land, it had fallen into Lu Boting's hands. He refused to spit it out, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Never lose too much.
