Chapter 85 The Secret of Lu Mansion
Jiang Nianwei looked calm and didn't show any embarrassment at all: "He just fell into the water, I just fished him out."
"Oh? Pick it up..." Shuangshuang smiled meaningfully.
To pick them up, you need to hold them together tightly, so that their faces are almost stuck together.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them look good, it would seem awkward to see two men hugging each other.
Both of them were soaked, and it was not convenient for them to continue following Feng in this state.
Jiang Nianwei could only order: "Shuangshuang, follow that Feng back to the Lu Mansion later. She has already got the Night Pearl and will definitely hide it in her private vault. During this period of time, you keep an eye on her."
"Got it, I'll be there right away!"
When it comes to doing real work, Shuangshuang is still very reliable and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
Ah Zhao still stood in the water and refused to move. "The person has already left, why are you still standing in the water?"
Now he didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Nianwei, the scene just now was still floating in his mind, "Right away, right away."
After returning to the inn, Jiang Nianwei took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and felt a lot more refreshed.
The Huanyi incense in the temple is really interesting. It actually has such a great effect. She plans to study it carefully later. Maybe it can be used in the future.
His fingertips gently slid across the soft lips, which seemed to still retain the scorching heat of A Zhao.
Ah Zhao was out of control and seemed to want to eat her alive.
She sighed. It was just an unexpected incident. Besides, kissing was a common thing in modern times. She didn't need to care about it.
What he cares more about is Ah Zhao. He has always had strong self-control, but when it comes to Sanniang, everything goes wrong.
He secretly decided in his heart that no matter whether he could get back his lost memories or not, he would be responsible for her in the future.
He was afraid that he turned out to be a playboy who was not doing his job properly and delayed Sanniang's life, and then Sanniang would despise him.
Ah Zhao hesitated to speak, feeling guilty. "If you beat me up or scolded me, I would feel better. After all, we made three rules before. I must respect you and cannot do these... ahem, intimate things."
He has been brooding over this, but Jiang Nianwei acted as if nothing had happened and comforted him: "What happened in the past is in the past. Don't take it to heart. Just treat it as a dream. We have more important things to do next, so don't let it distract you."
Ah Zhao opened his lips slightly, thousands of words gathered in his throat, but in the end they only turned into a sigh, and finally he only uttered the word "OK".
"You are so familiar with the scent of the Huan Yi incense?"
After saying this, he felt secretly annoyed. Sanniang had been married before, so she knew that this kind of thing was normal.
A bunch of nameless anger involuntarily ignited in my heart, and my brows were furrowed.
Jiang Nianwei seemed to have noticed something was wrong with him. "The women in the Marquis' Mansion used these things before, so I found the smell familiar. I usually only like calming scents that can calm my mind."
After hearing her explanation, Ah Zhao felt better.
"Well, without further ado, let's quickly prepare for the next matters."
Jiang Nianwei originally wanted to light a fire in the mansion and burn everything to ashes.
But all of that originally belonged to the Jing family, the hard work of my grandparents, and I couldn't bear to part with it. I had to find a way to drive away all of these evil people.
The study room of Lu Mansion.
Lu Yong was looking at the cash flow of various shops in the past few months and nodded with satisfaction. The profits were getting higher and higher.
When the old man was alive, he found out that he was secretly selling inferior products as good ones and almost kicked him out.
If it weren't for that silly woman Jing Xiangxue pleading for him, he probably wouldn't have been able to secretly scheme to seize the Jing family's huge fortune.
The other son, whose surname was Jing, was also a traitor and not a good person. I had originally hoped that if he changed his surname back to Lu, he would remember their old friendship and be nicer to him.
Who would have thought that even if he was kicked out of the house without a seal and made to suffer, he would not change his surname.
Now he has a little son named Lu Chang, so the family business has a successor.
Just as he was secretly feeling proud, the housekeeper came rushing over and shouted in panic: "Master, something terrible has happened!"
Lu Yong asked impatiently: "What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss? You're disturbing everyone's peace and quiet. If you have something to say, just say it!"
The butler stammered back, "Master, all the goods in our largest warehouse... have disappeared!"
"Disappeared? I sent so many people to guard it. Are they blind? They can't even keep an eye on so many things?"
Besides, how many things were in the warehouse? How could he not know? How could they just disappear?
The housekeeper's voice trembled as he spoke incoherently, "Master, it's all true. I saw it with my own eyes. It's absolutely not a lie. Those warehousemen were singing and dancing as if they were possessed by evil spirits. When they came to their senses, they found that the warehouse was completely empty and they knew nothing when asked."
"Don't fool me, take me to see it for myself!"
When they hurried to the warehouse, Lu Yong pushed open the door and saw that there was nothing inside.
Scattered next to it were the exquisite locks he had bought at a high price, which was quite ironic.
Lu Yong was furious and shouted, "What are you doing? You guys are so lazy on weekdays. Do you know how much damage this will cause? Even if I chop you all into stuffing, you can't compensate for even one ten-thousandth of this!"
For some of these goods, the buyers had paid deposits for them. If the goods were lost, they would have to pay three times the amount in compensation. The money they earned hasn’t even been put into their pockets to warm up, so they can’t just pay it out in vain.
He kicked the butler hard at his buttocks and said, "Check it for me, check it immediately, find out who stole the goods in the warehouse, and then report it to the police, and let the governor take charge of the matter for us!"
Although losing these goods did not bankrupt him, it was still painful.
Let him find that daring thief and tear him into pieces!
Shuangshuang hung on the tree until the nanny brought in the meal at noon. Then Feng walked out of the room with a satisfied look on her face, took a reluctant look, and walked out of the backyard of the temple.
Shuangshuang secretly followed her to Lu's house.
Feng looked very satisfied, and even her temper became a little gentler.
As soon as she saw her son Lu Chang, she couldn't help but pick up the ten-year-old boy and asked softly, "My dear son, what did you play at home today?"
Lu Chang said excitedly, "I let these servants ride on me like horses! I even threw the Cuju into the river and asked the maid I disliked to pick it up! The way she choked on the water was so funny! Hahaha."
"As long as Chang'er is happy, if you die from playing, mother will buy you a few maids that you don't like to play with."
He seemed to be smiling gently with his hands covering his mouth, but he said such cold words. He did not take people's lives seriously at all, but treated them as toys to humiliate and trample on them at will.
Her son was handsome and cute, and also smart and clever. She loved him very much and wanted to give him all the best.
Shuangshuang couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart, but after all, this was the Lu family's territory, and there were many guards, so she didn't dare to alert the enemy easily.
I can only hide in the dark and observe every move of this vicious woman.
When Lu Chang was taking a nap, Feng returned to the room, took out two night pearls and examined them carefully.
"It is indeed real. I spent a few dozen coins to buy a real night-shining pearl. I really have a discerning eye for pearls. I must hide it well and put it in my private vault."
She turned around and placed the night pearl in an exquisite box, then walked to another warehouse where miscellaneous items were stored.
There is a secret passage under the box, which is full of traps. If a thief comes in, he will be killed by the traps before he even gets inside.
Only Lu Yong and she knew how to avoid these traps. No, she forgot that there was another person.
Lu Yong’s former wife, although I call her a wife, is no longer mentally normal.
She felt bored on weekdays, so she would find ways to torture her and vent her hatred.
This woman was just being stubborn. When Old Master Jing died, he said that he had hidden another sum of wealth and would leave it to his second daughter. Only Jing Xiangxue knew where it was.
But no matter how she was tortured, Jing Xiangxue refused to reveal any information.
The thought of this made her teeth itch with hatred, but she soon felt relieved.
The wealth left by the Jing family was enough for her to squander. In the future, all of this would belong to her son. The Jing family was just making wedding dresses for her in vain.
After hiding the night pearl, she walked out as if nothing had happened.
Normally, she wouldn't come here on purpose, mainly because such a big night pearl is extremely rare, and it was still glowing in the secret passage just now!
After taking care of all this, she asked Nanny Shi to bring the whip, which she had specially customized.
There were sharp thorns on it, and she usually liked to use this whip to teach her disobedient servants a lesson.
Now she couldn't hold back any longer and was ready to find Jing Xiangxue to vent her resentment.
"Madame Shi, go find that woman."
Madam Shi said earnestly: "Madam, why do you have to go to such a filthy place? It smells terrible. It's better to let this old slave do it for you!"
She looked at the big gold bracelet on her wrist and laughed jokingly: "I want to go there myself today!"
Jing Xiangxue was locked up in a sheep pen, eating and sleeping with the animals every day, and even her body was covered with a foul smell.
Feng looked at Jing Xiangxue who was in such a state of disgrace.
She held the lamb in her arms, and it raised its head tremblingly and looked at her in horror.
"Tell me, if your son saw this, would he feel sad? Would he regret it? This is how his mother was treated after he left."
Jing Xiangxue didn't have any special reaction and continued to huddle in the corner covered with sheep dung.
"Back then, your family chose Lu Yong as your son-in-law, but you heartlessly abandoned me. I have suffered so much and been looked down upon before I can get to where I am today."
The originally desolate tone gradually began to be filled with hatred: "Since he can abandon me because of wealth, he can also abandon you because of status. Now he has finally returned to me, and he also brought with him the huge wealth accumulated by your Jing family. It is really ironic, haha!"
Jing Xiangxue was still in that crazy state. He picked up a handful of hay from the ground and muttered to himself, "I'm hungry. I want to eat grass. Eating grass will fill me up..."
"Don't think you can get away with it by pretending to be crazy. I just like the sight of a rich lady like you being trampled under the feet of a former village woman like me! Otherwise, I would have sent you to see the old man and the old woman long ago."
After saying that, she raised the whip and accurately placed it on Jing Xiangxue's delicate back, spreading it freely on her tattered clothes, making the filth even more shocking.
She exerted more force and the whip actually tore off a piece of flesh and blood.
Jing Xiangxue clenched her teeth, biting her lips until they bled, and she curled up her body desperately.
The flock of sheep around him seemed to have spirituality and gathered around Jing Xiangxue.
Feng narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her voice was filled with unquestionable ruthlessness: "It's ridiculous that a mere animal would behave like this. Madam Shi, all these sheep will be cooked tonight. It can be regarded as a small reward for the hard work of everyone in the mansion."
"Yes, ma'am, I'll arrange it right away." Nanny Shi responded.
Jing Xiangxue kowtowed repeatedly, "Don't kill the sheep! Don't kill them. I don't feel any pain if you hit me."
Seeing her being so humble, Feng was not moved at all, but smiled even more brightly, with a hint of mockery and pleasure hidden in her smile, "Oh, look at this rich woman, she can actually condescend to this level, it's really impressive. However, you should be a phoenix high above, but now you bow down to a mortal woman like me, isn't that a huge devaluation of yourself?"
She handed the whip to Aunt Shi, "You do it. Prepare another basin of salt water later as usual."
Nanny Shi took the whip and her movements were neat and precise. Each whip seemed to cut through the air accurately and landed heavily on Jing Xiangxue's fragile body.
As the whips crossed, her clothes gradually tore apart, and her exposed skin was soon stained red with blood. Then, a basin of cold salt water was mercilessly poured over her bruised body.
Suddenly, I heard Jing Xiangxue's heart-wrenching howl.
Feng stood aside and witnessed this scene, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, a kind of almost morbid pleasure and satisfaction. "Yes, that's it, let her taste the most profound pain!"
Shuangshuang, who was hiding in the dark, witnessed these outrageous scenes. She thought to herself that Feng was as cruel as a snake and scorpion, and was probably a rare pervert in the world.
Her mind raced, knowing that time was running out and she had to return immediately to tell Jiang Nian in detail what she had just experienced.
At this moment, the servant hurriedly said with a panicked tone: "Madam, something bad has happened. The master has returned and is anxiously calling you to come."
Feng's brows flashed with impatience, but she quickly suppressed it, "Forget it, I got it."
Feng Yong had a stern face. He originally asked his men to keep the news secret, but he didn't know who leaked the news. Everyone in Linzhou City was probably aware of the news.
Those businessmen were blocking the door of Lu's house, yelling at him to pay compensation!
He can afford the compensation, but he will never pay it back! He swears to find the thief!
Feng's brows were filled with impatience. She hurried into the hall, her tone a little angry: "What on earth is causing all the commotion? Why is there so much noise outside the door, disturbing everyone?"
Lu Yong's face was filled with worry. "Madam, the situation is not good. The storehouse in our mansion was visited by thieves and was looted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another servant shouting tremblingly: "Master, it's bad! Not only is the warehouse in trouble, but the merchant ship has also mysteriously disappeared without a trace!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yong's body shook violently, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. He muttered to himself in disbelief, "A merchant ship...how could it disappear without a trace without a sound?
"The merchants outside are about to break down the gate of our mansion!"
"Tell the governor to send someone over here. If anyone disobeys, arrest them and send them to jail!"
The subordinate said in embarrassment: "The troublemaker is also the governor's brother-in-law... You forgot that he also ordered goods from you. He said that either the goods will be delivered on time or he will pay you!"
Lu Yong was so anxious that he was spinning around: "How could you forget about this? Quick, please invite him in. I will handle the compensation issue alone. How dare we neglect the governor's brother-in-law?"
The attendant looked embarrassed, and there was a hint of panic in his voice: "As soon as the door is opened, the people outside will rush in. We dare not!"
He added: “Even the backyard was full of people.”
Feng was not impatient when she heard this. She gently waved the round fan in her hand and smiled calmly, "It's fine if you want to pay. When has our Lu family ever been short of this little money? We have a big family and a big business. How can we just collapse like that?"
"You make it sound easy. If you really pay three times the compensation, I'm afraid that all the savings of our family over the years will be lost. These are the foundations that we have laid for our son."
