I was reborn and married a villain, and I won by lying down

Chapter 49 Sleepless Night

The long cold winter nights.

In Fengya Pavilion, Lu Wenqian was sitting in the courtyard with his eyes closed to relax.

The strong wind blew against the eaves, and whistling sounds came from everywhere from time to time.

He knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, so he had no intention of sleeping.

According to the date agreed in the letter, the fourth child should have entered the city.

Hearing footsteps outside the courtyard, he pushed his wheelchair directly into the empty courtyard and waited.

Not long after, Keyan was seen walking in with a young man in an awkward shape.

But when Yan was about to speak, Lu Wenqian slowly waved his hand, pointed to the stone table beside him, and gestured to Zhang Sheng, "Sit down."

Then he gave instructions to Ke Yan: "Go to the outer courtyard and call some servants to come in and light up the lights everywhere."

Ke Yan was bewildered, looking at my uncle's calm demeanor, could it be that Zhang Sheng was expected to come.

And judging from this posture, my uncle is afraid that he is going to welcome guests in the courtyard.

As soon as the thought came to mind, a group of black people rushed into the courtyard straight up.

She raised her eyes and saw that it was Young Master Yan Chao who had brought someone in. She was so frightened that her scalp went numb, and she quickly slipped out with bowed eyebrows.

On the contrary, the enemy was extremely jealous when they met. Lu Yanchao just glanced at Zhang Sheng, and the hatred in his heart was completely written on his face.

"Zhang Xiucai is really capable. He was able to break into Feng Ya Pavilion alone."

Lu Yanchao directly lowered his face, and said with a stern look: "Second uncle, I don't have to worry about other things with you, but Zhang Sheng, you have to leave it to me."

After a pause, he said again: "This person has evil intentions, and he uses Xinyue Academy to slander my Lu family everywhere, and wants to trap my Lu family in an unjust way."

"Yan Chao, whether he slandered you or the Lu family, we still need to make a clear distinction."

Lu Wenqian pursed the corners of his lips lightly, smiled and gestured to Zhang Sheng again.

The calm look in his eyes forced him to sit down obediently at the stone table.

Seeing this guy sitting down leisurely in front of him, Lu Yanchao was immediately very angry, glared at him and shouted sharply: "What is the difference between slandering me and slandering the entire Lu family?"

"What do you say?"

Lu Wenqian glanced at him calmly.

Lu Yanchao choked up when he heard this.

Only then did he gradually realize that if he didn't die, he really couldn't represent the entire Lu family.

"If a person behaves well, how can he be afraid of being slandered?"

Lu Wenqian knew the reason for Zhang Sheng's and Lu Yanchao's festivities, and said meaningfully: "If it is true, it will change if it turns out to be true."

As soon as the words were finished, a woman's clamor suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Second brother, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? How much sin can that Hua An child be, but she was injured by Lu Chenshi like this? She didn't hit me in the face, she obviously turned her elbow outward, embarrassing the entire Lu family. "

With the arrival of Hua Wanxin, many people poured into Fengyage Pavilion, including Lu Baiting, Lu Baiyong and his wife from the second and third rooms, and several children from the long family.

A group of people surrounded the old lady Jiang Rui and stepped into the courtyard in fear.

"Wen Qian, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Rui walked out slowly and stopped the aggressive daughter-in-law.

When Lu Wenqian arrived, he looked at it carefully before asking the female envoys behind him to set up seats.

"Thanks to the mother, the son is still alive."

Lu Wenqian choked coldly and gave a faint smile.

Jiang Rui's expression froze when he saw it, and he dared not answer for a long while.

Turning his head and glanced at Zhang Sheng next to him, he opened his mouth again:

"I heard that Hua An's child owed him money because of the Cui family in Shu County. The husband-in-law who had never been married to the Cui family felt sorry for him and took the initiative to replace the Cui family's debt. Going to the casino and losing everything, and not paying Hua An's money, Hua An quarreled with others, but Lu Chenshi helped Zhang Xiucai beat Hua An."

"It seems that my mother did not rest peacefully in the courtyard as Sanniang said. It is said that what you see may not be true. I am afraid that what you hear is even more unreliable."

Lu Wenqian laughed angrily.

"Second brother, how can you talk like that? It is an indisputable fact that the Cui family owes Hua An the money. Could it be that he is wronged by asking for the money?"

Relying on the presence of her mother-in-law, Hua Wanxin bit the bullet and argued hard with Lu Wenqian.

"It seems that my sister-in-law doesn't know much about your nephew from my mother's side."

Lu Wenqian's eyebrows darkened, and he ordered to the handyman in the courtyard: "Go and invite the young master cousin and the fourth son of the Hua family to come over."

Several servants guarding the gate of the courtyard got the order and immediately left.

When everyone was at a loss, they saw Steward Lu leading someone to support Hua An and walking in.

Behind him were a young couple, the fourth son, Lu Wenjing, and his wife.

Hua An was still a little afraid of seeing Lu Wenqian, but seeing his aunt, cousin, and grandmother were all there, he immediately regained confidence.

He glanced at Lu Wenqian coldly with disdain, walked straight to Jiang Rui with his hands on his buttocks, and begged in a sad voice: "Grandmother, you have to make decisions for your grandson. My grandson has suffered a lot today, and I almost saw him." I won't be at your old man's house anymore."

Jiang Rui felt sorry for her daughter-in-law who had become a widow at such a young age, and pitied her grandson for losing his father just after he was born. She also loved her cousin's grandson in the Hua family.

Looking at Lu Wenqian, she sighed and said, "Hua An always grew up at my knees, nothing can make him feel wronged."

Hua Wanxin also followed the trend: "Hua An, tell me, how much money does the Cui family owe you?"

"Auntie, the Cui family Saburo really owes me 500 taels of silver, and it's clearly written in black and white."

Hua An hurriedly took out the IOU to show others.

While his aunt was checking the IOU, he said aggrievedly: "Even if the second aunt feels that the interest I charge is too high, these 500 taels of silver cannot be faked."

"is it?"

Lu Wenqian sneered with eyes as cold as pools.

Looking at Lu Wenjing, who is busy in the world, his eyes flashed: "Fourth brother, why don't you tell me, what kind of good things did this good nephew, sister-in-law, do in Shu County?"

Although Lu Wenjing is the eldest son of a common family, he has always been the most valued by Lu Wenqian and has always taken care of many of the Lu family's affairs outside the home.

This time I also heard some things that were damaging to the reputation of the Lu family, so I made a special trip to Shucheng for my brother.

He looked at his aunt Jiang Rui and Hua Wanxin with burning eyes, and said truthfully:

"I would like to inform my mother and sister-in-law that Hua'an has been using the Lu family's name to loan usury money privately in Shu County in recent years. He has also used unfair means to suppress local businesses, and has used the prestige of the Lu family to seize various government docks and warehouses. Anyone who enters Businessmen in Shu County can only rent warehouses in Hua'an and have to pay high leasing fees."

Glancing at Hua An resentfully, Lu Wenjing frowned and continued:

"A few months ago, the goods hoarded in the Shucheng official warehouse disappeared mysteriously. Cui Sanlang took the merchants to Hua'an to argue. Not only did the goods not be recovered, but several lives were lost. In order to calm the matter, the magistrate of Shucheng blamed all the crimes. When it came to Hua An, it was said that he was trying to rebel against the imperial merchants, so Cui Sanlang was so frightened that he returned to Yanyang City and did not dare to mention the matter of Shu City. Instead, he had to collect money to repay the lease money."

Hearing this, Lu Yanchao had a gloomy face, already very dissatisfied.

He looked at Lu Wenjing sharply, and said loudly, "Why did Fourth Uncle say it now when such a shocking thing happened?"

Lu Wenjing really couldn't comprehend the meaning of his words, and he and Lu Wenqian just smiled faintly as they looked at each other.
