In his previous life, he was disfigured and his eyes were gouged out, and he was reborn to kill ever

Lu Rushuang knew that she had to return the dowry to Fang Linghou.

Then I found the dowry list left by Mrs. Sun and checked it all myself.

After checking, it took a full two hours to get a rough idea.

She gave many things in the dowry to her mother's family to support her brothers and the others.

There aren't many things for Lu Manqing and the others, and it's easy to get them back.

But it's not easy to deal with my natal brother's side.

Let’s not talk about whether she can get it back or not. Even if she does, she will no longer have the backing of her mother’s family.

She is childless and has no family, so what should she do?

After much thought, she decided not to alarm her family.

For so many years, she has been in charge of the central government of the Duke's Mansion.

I have saved a lot of money on my hands.

If that didn't work, she could still go to Lu Manqing and ask for the money she used to subsidize their courtyard.

When the time comes, she can convert the missing items on the dowry list into money and return them to Fang Ling.

It was late at night, but Lu Rushuang couldn't sleep.

I sat in the house all night until dawn.

On the second day, she only briefly freshened up, then got up and went to Yaoyueyuan to find Lu Manqing and her daughter.

But before he could step out of the door, he bumped into Lu Manqing.

"You came just in time, I was going to your courtyard as well."

Lu Rushuang said and let her niece into the house.

Tea was served and the servants were sent out.

Lu Manqing spoke first,

"Aunt, can you lend me ten thousand taels of silver for urgent use?"

When Lu Rushuang heard this, she paused while drinking tea.

"A few days ago, didn't you say that Fang Ling would be so embarrassed that she would never get married again?"

"Why, in the end, Yue'er lost her face and ended up going to be Prince Gong's concubine."

"Then Fang Xinyue was accused of being accused of King Jing again, and she is still the quasi-princess?"

Lu Manqing smiled sarcastically.

"It turns out that we did make a complete plan. It's just that Fang Ling is too cunning."

"However, our Yue'er is also pregnant with the royal heir."

"When the time comes, Yue'er will have a good future after entering Prince Gong's Mansion."

Lu Rushuang sneered,

"A good future? A good future as a concubine?"

Lu Manqing was unhappy after hearing this.

She immediately grimaced,

"What my aunt said is wrong."

"Although my Xinyue is going to be a concubine, at least she is also the concubine of His Highness Prince Gong."

"And based on Xinyue's ability, as long as she can enter Prince Gong's palace, she will have a good future."

Lu Rushuang's skin is full of smiles, but her skin is not smiling.

"I hope it's as you said."

She doesn't care whether Fang Xinyue will have a good future in the future now.

All she knew was that Fang Ling was now someone whom King Jing valued.

Moreover, Fang Shuming protected her daughter like an eyeball.

If she doesn't return Sun's dowry, then she probably won't have much to gain.

Lu Manqing asked for money again.

"Aunt, please lend me ten thousand taels of silver."

"When Xinyue enters Prince Gong's palace and establishes a firm foothold, she will definitely return double the money."

"And I will remember your kindness and will definitely honor you even more in the future."

Lu Rushuang doesn't like this.

She won't be fooled by this empty-handed approach.

She had also heard that yesterday the emperor gave the prime minister's daughter to Prince Gong as his concubine.

The daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion was known to be arrogant and domineering.

As Princess Gong, how could she allow a concubine to gain a foothold in Prince Gong's palace?

However, these are later stories.

She also didn't want to break up with Lu Manqing.

she smiled,

"It's not that my aunt refuses to help you."

"It's just that I am short of money now."

"Fang Ling forced me to return the dowry left by Mrs. Sun to her."

"Today is the deadline, and I still want you to pay me back the money I gave you in the past as an emergency."

After Lu Manqing heard this, he couldn't sit still.

She stood up suddenly,

"How can I get the money to pay you back? I don't even have the money to help my daughter, so how can I have any extra money?"

"Aunt, you have been in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, and you have made a lot of money out of it."

"You should be able to get as much money as you want, so how come you have no money?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Rushuang's entire face instantly turned the color of pig liver.

"Are you presumptuous?"

She slammed the table and glared at Lu Manqing.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful I have someone pull out your tongue."

She was also confused by Lu Manqing, an idiot, and couldn't care less about her usual loving image.

When he spoke, he had an expression on his face as if he wanted to eat someone.

Lu Manqing was startled.

But thinking of her daughter's plight, she had no choice but to continue speaking.

"What I said is true."

"I also help you with things on weekdays, and I can get a lot of benefits from it."

"However, what I get is only a small amount. I only get one or two thousand taels of silver in a year."

"And my aunt can get more than ten thousand taels or twenty thousand taels."

"After more than ten years, you will have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at least, right?"

"It's not a big deal just to lend me ten thousand taels, so why are you so heartless and so unpleasant?"

This series of words made Lu Rushuang so angry that her lips trembled.

She has indeed gained a lot of benefits from managing the middle school over the years.

But there are also a lot of subsidies for the mother's family.

Now, she only has three to fifty thousand taels of silver, which is not enough to make up for the dowry left by the Sun family.

She pointed at Lu Manqing with a trembling finger,

"Are you threatening me?"

Lu Manqing didn't feel that she had said anything wrong at all, and continued to speak loudly,

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."

"You are already old. Why do you need so much money?"

"It's better to use it to pave the way for the younger generation, and then I can give myself a stable old age."

"Otherwise, you will break up with me now just for a little money."

"Then, I can't guarantee that my children will take care of you until you die."

Lu Manqing risked everything for her daughter.

Try to make your words as unpleasant as possible.

She knew that her aunt had no children, and what she feared most was that no one would take care of her until she died.

She used this incident to stimulate her, and maybe she would give her ten thousand taels of silver.

"I have no money. For many years in charge of Zhongfu, I have always settled the accounts clearly."

Lu Rushuang gritted her teeth and denied it.

"Haha...it's just an account book. There are so many people who can make false accounts, so it's not trustworthy."

"But I remember some real accounts in my heart. Do you want to hear them?"

Lu Manqing didn't wait for her to answer, and continued to type loudly,

"Let's not talk about it at a distance, let's just talk about Fang Ling and Hairi's banquet."

"I was responsible for the purchase. I remember it cost a thousand taels of silver in total. The last thing you recorded in your account was three thousand taels."

"In addition to the cost of beating the servant and the two hundred taels you gave me, you should have spent more than a thousand taels directly, right?"

"This is just a deal. There are other things, so I won't say more. We just need to be clear about it."

Lu Rushuang was so angry that she rolled her eyes. She reached out and pinched her chin, trying to keep herself awake.

"You...you white-eyed wolf..."
