I just want to rob you of your luck

Chapter 299: Plundering the Luck of the Marquis's Mistress

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is located in the best area in Kyoto. The mansion is very large and looks very grand.

Because the news had been received in advance, someone was waiting at the door for Lin Jiuer's arrival.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Jiang Cheng got off the carriage first, then turned around and helped Lin Jiuer get off the carriage.

There was a ten-man guard team following the two carriages. If you didn't know, you would think they were here to settle a score.

A middle-aged man with a smile on his face came out from the door. He looked decent.

"Welcome to Marquis Dingyuan, and welcome home, young lady. I am Lin Qiang, the butler of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The Duke specially asked me to greet you two at the door."

Jiang Cheng looked at this person with a cold expression: "Are you the steward of the Zhenguo Mansion?"

The man was startled, and for some reason he felt a little uneasy. He thought he had done it very secretly and no one would find out.

So he smiled and said, "That's right, my Lord, just tell me what you want me to do."

Jiang Cheng snorted coldly and pulled Lin Jiuer in.

Steward Lin saw another carriage behind him, so he asked, "Is there any other guest in the carriage behind?"

Lin Jiuer said: "That is a gift for the Zhenguo Mansion. We will make our own arrangements later."

Steward Lin tactfully asked no more questions and followed the two of them attentively, introducing the conditions of each courtyard in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Arriving at the main courtyard, Lin Jiuer was shocked. How many people were there in the Zhenguo Mansion? There were so many people standing in the courtyard.

Probably because the house was not big enough, everyone was arranged to stay in the yard.

I saw a few seats at the top. In the middle sat an old lady in her sixties. On her left sat my stepfather. On the other side sat two middle-aged men who looked somewhat similar to my stepfather. They were probably brothers.

Standing on both sides of the seats were men on one side and women on the other.

At this time, a beautiful woman came over from the front of the women with a happy face. It was Lin Jiuer's stepmother, Yue.

"Wanqing, come here, let me take you to meet your grandmother and your uncles and relatives."

She looked at Jiang Cheng and said politely, "My Lord, please take a rest for a while. We will continue later."

A maid brought a chair to Jiang Cheng, but Jiang Cheng did not sit down. Instead, he said calmly, "It's okay."

Lin Jiuer was pulled to the front by Yue and said to the old woman at the top, "Mother, this is your granddaughter He Wanqing, the daughter of the Duke and I who has been missing for seventeen years."

The old lady naturally knew what had happened. Seeing that Lin Jiuer looked somewhat similar to the Duke and his wife, she smiled with relief.

At that time, the Duke's mansion had such a girl as this, and she was the only legitimate daughter. Naturally, she loved her very much. Unexpectedly, she was lost when she was two years old.

The old lady cried for several days because of this. When she saw her granddaughter was found and looked beautiful and healthy, her eyes were red with joy.

"Good child, my little Wanqing, you have suffered so much. Come here and let grandma see you. Grandma misses you so much."

Lin Jiuer was also somewhat moved. It could be seen that this old lady was a kind elder, but today's family recognition party was destined not to be peaceful.

She choked up and said, "Grandma, before I recognize my relatives, I still have some questions to ask the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. If someone in the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion doesn't want me to come back, you can just tell me. I don't have to recognize this relative.

I don’t know who in your house sent someone to poison me! My granddaughter almost never saw you and your family again! "

At this time, the faces of the people at the top changed, especially He Zhongliang, who stood up suddenly and asked, "Wanqing, tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Jiuer turned around and glanced at Jiang Cheng. He walked forward and said, "Old Madam, Duke, two masters, Jiuer was poisoned the night before yesterday. It took a whole night of rescue before she woke up. We found out that it was someone from the Duke's Mansion who did it.

I hope you can give Jiuer an explanation today, otherwise I will just disown you!"

He Zhongliang was extremely angry. This old guy was so humble to him the other day, but now he was showing off again today?

Yue walked to Lin Jiuer in a panic, took her hand and looked at her carefully. Today Lin Jiuer had put on a weak makeup and her face looked very pale and sick.

"Wanqing, is this true?" She had some guesses in her mind and was shaking with anger.

Lin Jiuer nodded, and her eyes looked at the two women standing in front of her on the right.

One looked to be around thirty years old, with a pretty and dignified appearance, and the other was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, looking at her with provocation and jealousy.

The person who can stand in a position second only to Yue must be Yu, the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Lin Jiuer directly activated the mind-reading talisman on Du Shi.

At this time Jiang Cheng said: "I brought a few witnesses with me, and I hope your government can cooperate in investigating this matter."

The old lady's face looked a little ugly. She didn't expect that the happy recognition ceremony would turn into a scene of torture.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo was angry, he also knew that if the matter could not be investigated thoroughly, Wanqing would never return to the Duke's Mansion.

By then, wouldn't the Yue family be completely disappointed with him?

"My lord, please bring the witness up. I will seek justice for my daughter today. I want to see who in the Duke's Mansion dares to harm my daughter!" Yue said in a deep voice, mixed with hatred.

At this time, Steward Lin hurriedly said, "I will send someone to bring the witness over right away."

Jiang Cheng said, "I don't dare to trouble Steward Lin. The people I brought have already gone there."

Butler Lin was nervous and sweat broke out on his face. Could it be that what he had done was really exposed?

After a while, Gu Feng, Gu Lei and ten guards came over with three people.

Jiang Cheng told the story in detail, hiding the fact that Zhou had given Lin Jiuer a sterilizing drug.

After all, he came here today to seek revenge, and he would deal with Zhou's matter when he returned.

After hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo looked at Steward Lin with a gloomy expression.

"Lin Qiang, kneel down. You must explain to me clearly today why that person said it was you who ordered it. And there seems to be only one steward named Duan in the mansion."

Yue added: "That Manager Duan seems to be the purchasing manager promoted by Yu, his name is Duan Rui."

Upon hearing this, Yu immediately knelt down in front of the Duke of Zhenguo and said with a sob, "My Lord, I really don't know about this."

The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Yu deeply and said, "Get up first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it has nothing to do with you, I will not wrongly accuse you."

So he stood up crying.

At this time, the young girl next to him said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, why did my sister cause so many troubles as soon as she came back? It seems that she doesn't like our Zhenguo Mansion?"

Lin Jiuer sneered. She had already heard roughly what Yu was thinking just now. This cheap sister probably didn't know that she was not the Duke of Zhenguo's child at all?

After Lin Jiuer went missing, Yu gave birth to a daughter, and everyone put all their feelings for He Wanqing onto this younger sister, He Wanying.

She was a concubine's daughter, but she lived a better life than the legitimate daughter. Although concubines' daughters were born in the second and third wives later, they were not as favored as her master's daughter.

Yu scolded, "Wanying, don't be rude. She is your own sister. How can you speak like that?"

Lin Jiuer sneered: "It's a bit early to say this. I dare not recognize a sister casually, Aunt Yu, don't you think so?"
