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

The stinging pain that came from her palm made Wu's heart even more resentful.

After she married into the Lu family, Lu Huaian was kind to her at first.

But later, she only gave birth to Lu Manqing and no more children.

Lu Huaian took in several concubines.

In the next few years, his concubines gave birth to several bastards one after another.

Mrs. Wu has no son to accompany her, and her natal family does not care much about her married daughter.

After Lu Manqing married into the Duke's palace, she had always been just an unpopular concubine.

Wu had no one to rely on, and gradually, Lu Huaian began to look down on her.

If anything doesn't go his way on weekdays, he takes it out on her.

Slaps and fists were common.

But she could only endure it silently.

She had nowhere to go except staying in Lu Mansion.

"Why don't you get up quickly and lie on the ground pretending to be dead?"

Lu Huaian roared.

Wu lowered her head and stood up with difficulty.

She took out the handkerchief and silently wiped the blood on her hands.

Lu Huaian glanced at it, his face full of impatience.

"What else can you do? A fall and your hand looks like this."

"Get ready and go to the Duke's Mansion in the name of visiting Rushuang."

"By the way, let's explore the truth from Man Qing."

"Let's see if Fang Shuming is determined to let us pay back the money. Only after we find out the situation can we act accordingly."

He received news yesterday that his sister Lu Rushuang suddenly suffered a stroke.

He also knew that it was because Fang Shuming found out the clues in the accounts of Zhongzhi.

The two sides had a falling out, and Lu Rushuang was so angry that she suffered a stroke.

Logically speaking, as a family member, you should go to the Duke's Mansion to visit your sister.

However, my sister has been corrupting the government of Mo Kingdom for many years.

The Lu family is the biggest and most direct beneficiary.

He thought that things were going crazy, and it would be inappropriate for him to come to the door at the cusp of the storm.

Avoid it if you can, maybe Fang Shuming will not pursue it for the sake of face.

But now all the debt collection letters have been sent.

He could no longer avoid it or pretend to be confused.

But he didn't dare to come to the door in person.

He is afraid of being beaten...

However, it would be different if Wu was allowed to go.

The Wu family is a womanly family, so it is not easy for them to make things difficult for them when they come to visit her.

Otherwise, if it were revealed, the Duke's Mansion would lose its own face first.

"Yes."

Wu lowered her head, responded quietly, and then turned around to change her clothes.

Lu Huaian took another look at the letter in his hand.

Fire will burst out of his eyes.

He tore the letter into pieces viciously and threw it on the ground.

Fang Shuming, you want the Lu family's 210,000 taels of silver, it's just a dream.

No matter how bad it is, Manqing is also his concubine Fang Shuming.

And he bore him a pair of children.

If Fang Shuming really wanted to start a fight with his Lu family, the worst he could do would be for the two families to fall out.

Wu finished dressing up as quickly as possible, then took her personal maid and took a carriage to the Duke's Mansion.

In Yaoyue Garden, Fang Xinyue was lying on the bed to recuperate.

A few days after she gave birth, she knelt outside Qinxiang Garden for several hours.

Now, her whole body ached, and her knees were so painful that she couldn't sleep.

"Xinyue, if you have any gold and silver jewelry that you don't use on a daily basis, find them and give them to mother."

Aunt Lu barged in without a single headdress on her head.

The jade bracelet I usually wear on my wrist is also gone.

"I basically took out all the things I could pawn and exchanged for silver, and I only managed to collect 8,000 taels."

"That little bitch Fang Ling is teasing your father and asking me to pay back the money I got from your grandmother over the years."

"He said that I would have to pay back at least 10,000 taels of silver with interest."

"What are you talking about? If I don't return the money, she will ask your father to sell me."

Lu Manqing spoke louder and louder.

It seemed that only by shouting at the top of her lungs could she vent all the anger in her heart.

Fang Xinyue couldn't help but frowned tightly after hearing Aunt Lu's words.

"So not only did you not get any money from your grandmother yesterday, but you also had to pay an extra ten thousand taels as compensation?"

Lu Manqing twisted her handkerchief and lowered her head in shame.

"Yeah…"

"You didn't see what happened yesterday."

"That little bitch Fang Ling is so aggressive. He even asked your father to find the accountant and point out that your grandmother has been corrupting the government over the years."

"I want her to pay for it."

"Your grandmother was so angry that she finally had a stroke because of Fang Ling's anger."

Fang Xinyue also heard from her servants about the situation at Lu Rushuang's side.

She has now suffered a stroke and is disabled in bed.

Considering that my father is currently angry.

She took advantage of her physical discomfort and wanted to have a baby, so she stayed in her room.

It was even more impossible to go to Lu Rushuang to wait for him.

Lu Manqing was in a hurry to collect money first, and did not tell Fang Xinyue in detail what was going on outside.

It was just that he really didn't have enough money, so he had no choice but to find Fang Xinyue.

Fang Xinyue felt dizzy after hearing Aunt Lu's words.

Not only does the shop he received have to be returned, but now he even has to pay for his jewelry.

She clenched her fists tightly, not hating the fact that she was lying.

But she had the handle in Fang Ling's hands, and there was nothing she could do about it.

She could still tell which one was light and which was serious.

She calmed down for a while before speaking weakly,

"Zhuzhi, go get my jewelry box."

Zhuzhi took the order and quickly brought five exquisite peach wood boxes and handed them to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu took it, her eyes red,

"Xinyue, don't be sad either."

"After you have passed this hurdle and entered Prince Gong's Mansion, are there any good things?"

Fang Xinyue's heart was bleeding.

But for the sake of her future, she had to temporarily surrender to Fang Ling.

"However, even if these items of mine are pawned, they are only worth four to five thousand taels at most."

"It's not enough to make up 20,000 taels."

Fang Xinyue reminded.

Of course Lu Manqing knew.

She also tried her best to get enough money.

She thought about going back to her parents' house for help, but as soon as she had the idea, she didn't dare to think about it any further.

Her mother Wu has always been cowardly.

The power of running the Lu family was in the hands of his father's favorite concubine.

The dowry in her hands has been used to supplement her father's business over the years since she entered the Lu family.

Now, it would be good if she could have a few hundred taels on hand.

Mother can't be counted on.

And my father is a man who loves money as much as his life.

Although he has a lot of money in his hands.

But on weekdays, she still thinks about her aunt using the money from the Duke's mansion to support the Lu family.

It was absolutely impossible for him to support her married daughter.

Lu Manqing held the jewelry box, pursed her lips, and carefully asked in a low voice,

"Xin Yue, how about... how about you borrow a few thousand taels of silver from His Highness Prince Gong to make up for our shortcomings?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Gong likes you so much, he must..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Xinyue struck with a knife.

Aunt Lu was so frightened that she immediately shut up.

"Do you think my current situation is not miserable enough?"

"Or do you think my future is ruined fast enough, so you want to help me?"

Fang Xinyue was so angry that her whole body trembled.

Go to Brother Luo to borrow money to silence Fang Ling.

Moreover, is the reason Fang Ling is holding on to is that Brother Luo's child she is carrying has already had a miscarriage?

How could she have such an unreliable biological mother?

Aunt Lu saw that her daughter was angry and couldn't help but defend herself.

"Isn't there nothing I can do?"

"You can just pretend that I didn't say anything just now, okay?"

Fang Xinyue lay back on the bed, closed her eyes and didn't want to speak anymore.

"Aunt Lu, second young lady, Mrs. Lu is here."

A maid came in to report.

Aunt Lu heard this and immediately asked,

"Is mother here? Where is she now?"
