The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne
Chapter 67 Involving Murong
"Go get some loan sharking money." Lu Jingning ordered.
Yun Zai was surprised: "Master, what do you want to use the loan money for?"
"Don't ask so many questions for now. I know my limits."
After an incense stick of time, Luo Bing brought dozens of money from loan sharks. Lu Jingning placed them on the table and examined them carefully. He realized that there was no such thing as money from loan sharks in his previous life.
The Rong family has always been doing well.
Therefore, Lu Jingning firmly believed that the incident in the Rong family this time had something to do with him.
"Luobing, find some people to quickly find a few uninhabited small courtyards, even in the wilderness, and find some people to melt down weapons and make some money."
"Princess!" Yun Zai stared with fear. Lending money without permission is a serious crime.
Lu Jingning comforted: "Don't worry, I won't get myself involved."
She thought for a moment and remembered that she had a manor under her name, which had many weapons and swordsmiths. She handed the token to Luo Bing and said, "My manor is in Huaxiang Lane in the south of the city. There are several old swordsmiths there. Tell them that after this is done, each of them will get 100 taels of silver, and they will give them the indenture after three months."
"Yes."
After waiting outside the window until the evening, Luo Bing finally responded: "Everything has been done according to the master's instructions."
Lu Jingning nodded and glanced at the gloomy sky: "Tonight, bury all the loan money at the side door of Murong's company. When it rains, attract some beggars and take the opportunity to make a big fuss about this matter."
As soon as she finished speaking, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, a sign that heavy rain was about to fall. Yun Zai urged her to return to the palace quickly.
Before the palace gates were locked, Lu Jingning came back. She hadn't rested for two days and was already a little tired.
"Princess, please rest assured. If there is any news, I will call you in time." Yun Zai reached out and tucked the quilt for her.
Lu Jingning closed his eyes.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in her mind. He smiled at her, and the scene suddenly changed to a scene where the ground was covered with blood, which became thicker and thicker.
……
Shangguan Mansion is brightly lit
Murong sat in the room waiting for a long time. When she heard the maid say that Shangguan Si had gone to his aunt's place, she was so angry that she threw the teacup to the ground and broke it into pieces.
"Hu Meizi!"
"Madam, please calm down. The master is still angry. Please be patient for a while." The maid advised.
When Murong thought about the ruined future of her husband, son, and future grandchildren, she suddenly felt that there was no point in living.
"It was fine last month, how did it become like this?" Murong covered her face and cried bitterly, hating Lu Jingning, the culprit.
Murong said viciously: "I don't know what's wrong with this damn girl Lu Jingning. She actually does bad things again and again."
As we were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Murong quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes and called out for someone to come in. When she saw that it was Miss Lang, her face suddenly darkened.
"Why are you here so late?"
"Mother." Miss Lang bowed to Murong obediently. Her words and actions no longer had the elegance and arrogance of the past, but were more cautious and flattering: "The emperor severely punished the Shangguan family because he was angry. As long as our family does a few good things, maybe the emperor will calm down and cancel the punishment."
Upon hearing this, Murong didn't even look at her, she just snorted and said nothing.
"Mother, do you know about the incident at the Rong family?" Miss Lang was not annoyed and continued, "Madam Rong and the Crown Princess had a quarrel a few years ago and had no contact. They have been in touch again recently. Madam Rong is an excellent doctor. I suspect that Madam Rong is secretly helping the Crown Princess to recuperate."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Murong asked angrily.
Miss Lang said, "Mother, I have some leverage over the second and third branches of the Rong family. I have asked my husband to report the Rong family. If the report is successful, he will be considered a meritorious person. The emperor will value talents and may even use my husband."
Murong was stunned, and couldn't help but raise her voice: "How dare you make the decision on your own without telling me about such an important matter?"
"Mother, I was worried that it would not work out and someone would try to stop me. Now it's done, the Rong family has been sealed, and the evidence is solid. You can just wait for your husband's reward."
Miss Lang spoke with great confidence, fearing that Murong would not believe her, and even asked her maid to repeat it. Murong was half-believing and half-doubting, and immediately asked people around her to inquire. After getting the answer, her expression instantly relaxed, and even the look in her eyes when she looked at Miss Lang became gentle.
"Sister Lang, you have become a member of the Shangguan family when you married into our family. Now the Shangguan family has been framed and disliked by the emperor, thanks to you for considering Zheng'er. If Zheng'er can achieve success in the future, it will definitely be due to your contribution." Murong praised her.
Miss Lang lowered her eyes and said shyly, "My mother taught me that I will spare no effort to help my husband ascend to the throne in the future."
"Well, that's good."
Shangguan Si came back as they were talking. He glanced at Miss Lang and said nothing. Miss Lang stood up and said goodbye. Shangguan Si then asked about Murong: "Do you know anything about the Rong family?"
Murong thought Shangguan Si was here to reward her, and smiled proudly: "I sent someone to do it."
"Is it really you?" Shangguan Si's face darkened.
Just now when he heard in his concubine's room that this matter was related to the Shangguan Mansion, he hurriedly pulled up his trousers and ran to find Murong.
"Master, the Rong family has repeatedly helped the Crown Princess, and they may have given her advice behind her back. I will naturally teach the Rong family a lesson."
Murong added: "Now the evidence is solid. We are meritorious officials. Maybe after this incident, the emperor will even make up for our mistakes."
Shangguan Si's face turned from pale to blue. Now everyone knew that he had taken refuge in Prince Shen's mansion and was a fame-seeking man.
If he caused any more trouble, he was worried that the capital would not be able to accommodate him.
For some reason, Shangguan Si always felt uneasy. He glanced at Murong and said, "It's better to do as you said. Otherwise, we will be the ones who will be embarrassed!"
After saying that, Shangguan Si turned away.
Murong stood up angrily, glanced at the heavy rain outside, and ordered the maid: "Hurry up and bring an umbrella to the master, and send someone to make a bowl of ginger soup, so that the master will not catch a cold."
"Yes."
The next day, before dawn, when the rain had just stopped, someone picked up a copper coin from the ground and shouted, "It's money!"
The sound attracted many people to walk towards the source of the sound.
In less than an hour, the area not far from the back gate of Murong Mansion was surrounded by crowds of people, and countless people were bending over to pick up money.
