Chapter 83: Secret Cabinet
Mrs. Lu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said to Rong Jin with difficulty, "But when my mother married into the Marquis's Mansion, she was only a concubine, and her dowry was not worth much, not to mention the real estate."
As she spoke, she sighed helplessly, "And now, after so many years, I'm still not well off. Jin'er, if it really doesn't work out, I'll discuss it with the Marquis later. Maybe I can buy you some cheap shops near the capital. What do you think?"
"Mother, why do you have to hide this from your daughter anymore?"
Rong Jin pricked up his ears and listened silently for a long time.
When she heard what Lu said, she suddenly stopped crying.
She looked up at Mrs. Lu, and her tone suddenly turned cold: "Don't think I don't know, you have several shops that Princess Qingya used to run, and they are all in good locations and profitable. Why can't you give some to your daughter?"
"I am your biological daughter, and now I am the legitimate consort of the Crown Prince. Rong Wan was abandoned by her father to fend for herself on the farm. If you really encounter anything in the second half of your life, you will have to rely on me, your daughter, to help you!"
Although Rong Jin's face turned red and her neck became thick, her phoenix eyes were always observing Lu's expression.
"Jin'er, you are still young and don't understand the business world in the capital. It's not easy to run a business well." Mrs. Lu said earnestly, "You should just focus on your pregnancy. The blood of Prince Jing'an is above you. Are you afraid that they will neglect you?"
"From what my mother said, she is not even willing to give her daughter the deed to a shop?"
"It's not that I don't want to give you my child. It won't be too late for me to give it to you after you give birth to the child safely."
"But mother, if you give it to me now, I can get familiar with the rules here first!" Rong Jin saw that Mrs. Lu was so stingy that she was so cruel that she didn't even give him a deed after his request.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her heart ached constantly, and the pain flowed down her stomach and moved to her lower abdomen.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
Just as Mrs. Lu was thinking about how to evade Rong Jin's words, she suddenly saw him holding his stomach tightly with both hands, his whole body curled up, and his head almost touching the ground.
"Jin'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Someone come quickly!"
Mrs. Lu had never seen such a painful expression on Rong Jin's face. She was instantly frightened and hurriedly yelled outside the house while helping Rong Jin to her bed.
"Jin'er, hold on a little longer. I'll call the doctor over right now!"
Lu looked at the door and found that there was no maid or servant there. Then she remembered that all the servants in the marquis's mansion were required to wait in the front yard.
Just now, Rong Jin also said that he had something to tell her in private, so he didn't let the maids follow her.
Mrs. Lu looked at Rong Jin, who was rolling on the bed in pain.
I thought that nothing must go wrong with the baby in my belly, otherwise it would be of no benefit to me.
Thinking of this, she did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately got up and ran out to find a doctor.
Rong Jin kept tossing and turning on the bed, screaming "Ouch, ouch" over and over.
Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu running out.
Rong Jin stopped groaning instantly, and the painful expression on his face disappeared.
She finally went out. I was so tired of pretending for so long!
Rong Jin sat up from the bed swiftly as if nothing had happened, and then she turned up all the cushions and mattresses on the innermost part of the bed.
It was not until the last layer was lifted that the secret cabinet inside was finally revealed.
"I knew it was here."
"Hmph, old woman, you have been unkind to me, so don't blame me for being unjust!" Rong Jin looked at the secret cabinet in front of him with pride, thinking that it was a good thing that before the Lotus Banquet, Lu went to the inner room to get the red gold headdress and he was smart enough to peek at it.
However, the distance was far at that time, and she only knew that the jewelry deeds hidden by Lu were near the bed, but she could not see the exact location.
Just now she happened to see Lu secretly glancing at the innermost part of the bed, and she guessed that the gold and silver jewelry might be there.
Now that she had turned over and found him in bed, she was extremely surprised.
Fortunately, I am very smart, otherwise I would have to go back empty-handed again today.
Rong Jin stared at the secret cabinet in front of him and felt more and more proud.
After a moment, she retracted the smug smile on her face and quickly reached out to open the secret cabinet.
But before she could touch the edge of the secret cabinet, she was hit on the neck from behind and knocked unconscious.
"Thanks to Rong Jin, otherwise I don't know when I can find the place where Lu's treasure is hidden by myself."
Rong Sheng thought indifferently and glanced at Rong Jin who was knocked unconscious by him.
Let her get some sleep first, just to take care of the pregnancy.
Seeing that Rong Jin was sleeping soundly, Rong Sheng moved her to a corner of the bed without any worries.
Then she jumped onto the bed and went closer to the secret cabinet to take a closer look.
Although this secret cabinet is cleverly designed, it is small in size and not very complicated.
The secret passage in Prince Jing'an's Palace was so detailed and complicated that I could see through it, let alone this one.
Rong Sheng thought nonchalantly as he groped the secret cabinet carefully for a while.
Suddenly, he pushed inward with both hands, and the entire door of the secret cabinet caved in instantly.
What appeared before her was a space similar to a secret cave.
This secret cave is of medium size, but it can only hold some gold and silver jewelry, silver bills, deeds and the like.
Rong Sheng took a quick look and thought to himself that there weren't many things here, but they were certainly good quality.
Every piece of gold and silver jewelry on display is priceless, extremely rare and precious.
Humph, it's obvious that these are Princess Qingya's jewelry during her lifetime. This Lu is really shameless.
Rong Sheng cursed inwardly and continued to quickly look through the rest of the wooden boxes.
After a while, when he opened the last box, Rong Sheng finally let out a long sigh.
The title deed was originally here.
Rong Sheng quickly took out the folded stack of papers from the box and roughly counted them.
Yes, these should be the deeds to Princess Qingya’s shop on West Street.
She carefully placed the deeds in her arms and prepared to close the cabinet.
But suddenly I realized that the capacity of this box was shallower than the others.
Rong Sheng narrowed his eyes and saw at a glance that there was a secret compartment hidden under the wooden board.
She immediately used her strength to lift up the wooden board, revealing the things hidden underneath.
Rong Sheng took a closer look and was instantly shocked.
I saw that the secret compartment was neatly filled with complete silver coins, and there was also the official seal of Dazhen on it.
How could the Lu family have silver and money with official seals? These are used by the court to pay military salaries and provide disaster relief.
She couldn't help but frown slowly.
The distribution of official silver to the imperial court has always been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue.
And Lu's elder brother Lu Anfei is the current Minister of Revenue.
Oh, I finally understand.
Rong Sheng couldn't help but laugh secretly when he thought of this. The Lu family was really powerful. Not only did they shamelessly embezzle other people's dowries and treasures, they even did not let go of the official silver issued by the court.
Is this the man who is determined to become the invisible richest man in Beijing?
