Daming female local tyrant

Jing Lan was sitting on the carriage back to Lu's house, feeling a little sad.

She recalled the situation when she was in front of the second door of Shen's house just now, when Shen Wan was holding the door with tears in her eyes, watching her leave in pain, her heart ached.

It has been more than three years since I first met Shen Wan, and I used to be around Shen Wan every day, even though the two fell in love, Jing Lan was always busy, but she didn't feel that she cared much about Shen Wan.In addition, she yearns for freedom wholeheartedly, and yearns to wander outside without being controlled by Shen Wan, and she doesn't feel that she is much tied to Shen Wan.

But now, when she was truly free, left the Shen family, and could no longer see Shen Wan easily, her heart immediately became heavy.

She didn't have the joy she imagined after being free and becoming the daughter of the Lu family, one of the four famous families in Jinling.There is no surprise, no excitement, like a prison bird coming out of the cage.

Looking back frequently, she felt very lost when the gatehouse of the Wufeng Building of the Shen family could no longer be seen.

Sitting next to her, Lu Chengze saw her expression, and was a bit confused why sister was freed and obtained the status of the eldest daughter of a famous family. She has a home to go back to, and she is about to meet the Lu family. My dear, she is still so depressed.

Could it be that elder sister was reluctant to part with the eldest lady of the Shen family she once served?

Before coming to pick up Sister A, he also knew that the eldest lady of the Shen family was very kind to Sister A, and that Sister A is the right arm of the eldest lady of the Shen family.

However, in Lu Chengze's view, no matter how deep the relationship between elder sister and Miss Shen's family is, it is far less exciting than the life after elder sister becomes the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

He felt that it was necessary for him to explain to Sister A, so that she would stop feeling depressed about leaving Miss Shen's family.

With a light cough, Lu Chengze said to Jing Lan: "Sister, in the past you were valued by the eldest lady of the Shen family in the Shen family, and she treated you very well, but today you left the Shen family and returned to the Lu family, you are the heir of the Lu family. Miss, sit on an equal footing with Miss Shen's family. Isn't this much better than staying with her and being her steward?"

Lu Chengze's words made Jing Lan withdraw her thoughts, she smiled wryly and said vaguely, "I'm just a little bit reluctant."

"Sister, when you go back to Lu's house, you are a serious eldest daughter. You don't have to wait on others, and there will be maids to serve you. The ancestor said that you have been wronged, and he must make up for you. Just watch, after you go back It's much more comfortable than living in Shen's house." Lu Chengze continued.

Jing Lan didn't continue what he said. To be honest, she didn't think it was such a good thing to be the eldest lady of the Lu family and have a maid to serve her.

But she also knew that being with Shen Wan as a steward or a maid would be aggrieved and not last long.

If she wanted to be with Shen Wan freely in the future, it was the right decision for her to leave the Shen family.

Although this separation came a bit early, it will come sooner or later.

She returned to the Lu family not to be the eldest daughter of the Lu family, the most important task of course was to help her brother Cheng Ze regain his mother's dowry and find out the cause of his mother's death.

So, she immediately asked Lu Chengze: "Brother, when I go back to Lu's house and see my ancestor, do you think about how to mention our mother's dowry to my ancestor? I want to mention this matter to my ancestor as soon as possible. "

Lu Chengze unfolded the folding fan in his hand, fanned it lightly, and said slowly: "I've made up my mind, sister, listen. After we return to Lu's house, I will write to my uncle, saying that the old ancestor has found out about your past. Being framed by Zhang Tianshi about the Kelu family, I will pick you up now. I will propose to my ancestors to hold a banquet for this, and my mother’s family will definitely be invited. Wait for my grandmother, uncle and aunt Come, you will show them the list my father gave me. My mother's family will help you, and you will bring them to meet the ancestors, and they will ask the ancestors to come forward and leave the mother to us. One point for the dowry. With the Tan family around, the ancestors will take care of this because of face."

Jing Lan thought of something after listening to it, and she was puzzled, so she asked Lu Chengze: "Brother, can you check whether most of our mother's dowry is in the hands of anyone?"

Lu Chengze said: "I haven't had time to investigate, but since our mother died of illness, her dowry has been managed by my grandmother and our father."

"You mean, grandma and dad withheld mother's dowry?"

"perhaps."

"This……"

After hearing Lu Chengze's words, Jing Lan couldn't help but think, if it was true that grandmother and father withheld the dowry from their mother who died of illness, then they could really do it.

Just how short of money the second room was, made their mother and son extend their hands to the dowry of the daughter-in-law who died of illness.

If they really do this, it will definitely be a scandal if it spreads out.

Moreover, if this was the truth, it would be really inappropriate for her brother Lu Chengze to ask for a dowry from her grandmother and father. Even if it were to come, Lu Chengze would have a reputation of being greedy for money and not filial.

It would be appropriate for her, the eldest lady who has been living abroad for more than ten years and suffered a lot, to bring this matter up after returning to the Lu family.Because everyone would say that the Lu family was sorry for her, and it was right for her to get back the dowry of her mother who had died of illness.

Her biological father and biological grandmother, for her, apart from the blood relationship, they are not close emotionally.

In fact, perhaps it was because they secretly coveted Tan's dowry and helped the evildoers, that Jinglan's mother-in-law died of hatred.

Jing Lan had a thousand reasons to ignore them as her elders, and begged them for the dowry of her swallowed mother.

It is most appropriate for her to come forward, with the help of her mother's natal family, the Tan family, to ask the ancestors of the Lu family to decide who swallowed up her mother's dowry, and let the person who swallowed it spit it out.

"Then after we go back, you should quickly write to the Tan family and ask them to come to Jinling as soon as possible."

"Okay. However, it will take seven or eight days soon, so don't be impatient, sister. I'm going back, let me accompany you for a few days, stroll around our Lu family's garden, and talk to those younger generations of our family. Let's get together, I want my sister to be happy for a few days."

"You just stay with me, don't you need to study?"

"Brother and elder sister have been separated for so many years, it's nothing if we don't study for one or two months. What's more, we want to find out whether my mother was plotted to die in hatred, and to get back my mother's dowry that was usurped. If you do well, I have no intention of studying."

"Well, then do it as soon as possible, and don't delay your studies. This is a big deal."

"I understand."

……

On the way back to Lu's house, Jing Lan and Cheng Ze went over some details in detail, and Mother Lin was also making suggestions, and they stopped talking in front of the tall gatehouse of Lu's house.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Chengze took Jing Lan and Mama Lin into the Lu family mansion through the corner gate, and went directly to Fuhai Hall.

Fuhai Hall is the place where Feng, the ancestor of the Lu family, lived. It is the fifth entrance of the Lu family mansion, and it is also the place with the highest foundation of the Lu family mansion.

Mrs. Feng is fidgeting in the West Room of Fuhai Hall, waiting for her great-grandson Cheng Ze to bring back Jinglan.

From time to time, she would ask the servant girl to go outside to see if Cheng Ze and Jing Lan were here.

For this reason, she didn't eat a bite of lunch, and Han's mother advised her to eat some, but she said that they would eat together after Cheng Ze brought Jinglan back.

Mother Han knew Feng's temper, and once she made a decision, no one could persuade her, so she asked people to put the food back into the food box, and put a piece of food on the table for the ancestor of the Lu family. A box of snacks and dried fruit, so that she can have something to eat while waiting for her great-grandson and great-granddaughter to arrive.

Fortunately, it was only after noon when Cheng Ze and Jing Lan returned to Lu's house, Feng did not wait long.

Seeing them coming back, the maid at the door rushed in with her skirts in hand to tell Feng excitedly that Jing Lan and Cheng Ze were back.

Hearing this, Mrs. Feng was overjoyed, and immediately stood up from the arhat couch, intending to go out.

But Cheng Ze walked quickly, he opened the curtain first and came in, to announce the good news to Feng Shi: "Old Ancestor, Cheng Ze has brought Sister back!"

"Oh, good, my great-granddaughter is finally back!" Feng looked excitedly behind Cheng Ze.

Concubine Xiang lifted the bamboo curtain, and Jing Lan walked in right after her. Mother Lin helped Jing Lan carry the burden, and then walked in too.

Jing Lan first saw a silver-haired, rich and kind old woman looking at her excitedly.

Behind her stood a lot of maidservants and women in satin dresses. The room was luxuriously decorated, and a scent of sandalwood and fruit mixed with it rushed to her face.

She guessed that the one looking at her excitedly should be her great-grandmother Feng.

Sure enough, Lu Chengze turned around, pulled Jing Lan's arm forward, and said happily, "Sister, this is our great-grandmother."

Jing Lan respectfully saluted Feng, saying: "The great-grandson's daughter, Jing Lan, pays homage to the old ancestor. The old ancestor is as blessed as the East China Sea, and his life is longer than Nanshan."

"Okay, okay, okay." Feng said three good words in a row, stepped forward to help Jing Lan up, looked her up and down carefully, and praised, "It really is the young lady of our Lu family, she is beautiful and gentle, There is a sense of cleverness. This thing brought out of the mother's womb has not disappeared because of growing up in the countryside."

Feng Shi originally wanted to ask Jing Lan to take out the jade pendants of the same shape and quality that all the children of the Lu family had engraved with their names after meeting Jing Lan, so as to confirm their identities again.

But after seeing Jing Lan, she didn't plan to do this, because anyone could tell at a glance that Jing Lan and Cheng Ze looked alike, they were siblings.Moreover, most of the appearances of their siblings were passed down from their mother Tan who had died of illness.Anyone who has met the Tan family, when they see their siblings, will be clear in their hearts, they can't be wronged that they are real siblings.

When Jing Lan heard Feng's words, she just pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

"Good boy, it's good to be back, I've suffered for you all these years." Feng took Jing Lan's hand, patted the back of her hand, her eyes were red.

"Old ancestor..." Seeing her great-grandmother like this, Jing Lan was also a little moved.

"Come on, come on, let's sit down and eat first, and then talk after eating. Now that you're back, this is your home, don't worry about it." Feng pulled Jing Lan to sit down at the round table, and greeted Cheng Ze also sat in the past.

The maids took out the food from the food box and put it on the table again. Mrs. Feng picked up the chopsticks and asked Jing Lan to eat quickly. In addition, if Jing Lan felt that the food was not to her liking and brought it up, she immediately asked Jing Lan to eat in the small kitchen. The cook made Jinglan the dishes she wanted and brought them to her.
