The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Qin was originally considering whether to give a small house to her brother-in-law, but then she heard that her brother-in-law was willing to leave the house. Qin couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Qin disagreed, "Mom, my uncle is an official in the court. Wouldn't you offend him by doing this?"

Qin: "What do you know, kid? Your aunt has offended a nobleman, and what will happen in the future is still uncertain. Besides, this matter was advocated by your grandmother, and your uncle also agreed." It has nothing to do with me.

"Mother, as the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance. Things in the world are unpredictable. In my opinion, it is really unfair to act like this." Lu Qin insisted on her opinion.

Qin thought for a moment and looked at her husband who had walked into the house. "Master, have you heard that my brother-in-law agreed to leave the house empty-handed?"

Lu Lingping paused as he walked towards the inner room, not even turning his head. "I already know. Mother, what you did is wrong. I plan to give Ling Cong three thousand taels of silver."

When Qin heard the three thousand taels, she immediately refused. "How can I use three thousand taels? That's all I have prepared for Cheng'er's family's living expenses for a year. If you give it to my uncle now, where can I get the money to give him when Cheng'er comes?"

Lu Lingping looked back at her, his tone unusually firm. "Qin Huaqiong, I'm determined to take this silver. Don't think I don't know. The silver Lingping brought back from his official duties outside was at least tens of thousands of taels. You used part of it to buy a dowry for Qin Jie'er, and you also used this money to help your uncle get promoted a few years ago. There are clearly still 10,000 or 20,000 taels of silver in the treasury, but you didn't give a penny and let my brother leave home empty-handed. Don't go too far!"

Lu Qin was shocked and ashamed. "Mom, is what father said true?"

Qin was so guilty that she didn't dare to look into her daughter's eyes, and she didn't say another word until Lu Lingping took the silver and left.

Looking at the three thousand taels of silver on the table, Lu Lingcong said nothing and asked Zhusheng to accept it. Originally, these were all handled by Nanny Jiang, until the wet nurse died three years ago, and Lu Lingcong gave the silver and money in the front yard to Zhusheng for safekeeping.

With these three thousand taels, the relationship between the eldest master and the second master will still remain a little bit.

Nanny Chang was old and did not return home with the lady. Yuan Caohua even had someone deliberately hide the lady's disappearance from her.

When she heard the news of the division of the family, she was shocked and thought something had happened. Aunt Yao was also terrified. Yuan Caohua had no choice but to lie to them, saying that the old lady was old and wanted to divide the family while she was still clear-headed.

Perhaps Qin was afraid that the night would be too long and might cause more trouble, so she notified several older uncles at night.

The Lu clan ancestral hall was open, and all the clan elders were present, seated at the head of the table, with the old lady in the center. The brothers Lu Lingping and Lu Lingcong knelt before the ancestral tablet, waiting for the elders to read the "Deed of Separation."

Old Master Lu San took the "Family Division Letter" written by his sister-in-law Lu Wenshi, unfolded it and took just one look at it, his face turned ugly. He bowed to the other elders and said, "I can't read this "Family Division Letter." After that, he put the book down and refused to take another look at it.

The old lady, also known as Lu Wenshi, was as steady as a rock. "This deed of division was agreed to by my son in person. Uncle San just needs to read it."

Old Master Lu San looked at his nephew and said, "Ling Cong, are you aware of the contents of the contract?"

Lu Lingcong nodded and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle. I know everything."

Seeing this, Old Master Lu San sighed deeply, said nothing more, took the paper and began to read.

"I have issued a strict decree to divide up the family property of the late Marquis of Ping'an, Lu Gong. For the past forty years, the house, land, sacrificial fields, and cash all belong to the eldest master, Lu Shi Lingping. The second master, Lu Shi Lingcong, will find another place to settle down. My mother, Lu Wenshi, will be supported by the eldest master, Lu Shi Lingping—"

The two brothers affixed their fingerprints in the presence of the clan elders. The "Deed of Separation" was made in quadruplicate, with the brothers and Lu Wenshi each holding one copy, and the remaining copy was given to the clan for safekeeping as a witness.

On the way back, Old Master Lu San was extremely upset. Such a promising descendant of their Lu family ended up being kicked out of the house. After returning home, he talked about it to his wife for several days.

Lu Song had grown into a young man, eight feet tall and sturdy. Years of escorting had given him a tanned complexion. A pair of dark brown eyes nestled beneath a pair of unruly black eyebrows, revealing a carefree and uninhibited expression between youth and youth.

He stretched out his bony hand, took the scroll and looked at it carefully, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled and then relaxed, his voice clear and charming, "Grandpa, my aunt is a big customer of our escort agency."

Master Lu San was very surprised. "Why have I never heard you mention it before?" "If you can become a big customer of his escort company, the materials for a single escort trip will be discounted by at least 5,000 taels.

"Of course it's because of the customer's request, Grandpa." Lu Song bared his white teeth at Master Lu San. "My aunt is very powerful. Now that the family has split up, I think it's okay to say it. Xiefangguan, the shop on Zhuque Street in the capital that is known for making a fortune every day, is my aunt's shop."

Master Lu was silent for a moment before he insisted, "This is not a matter of money."

As the old saying goes, discord among brothers is often caused by the elders' lack of virtue. He wasn't worried about Ling Cong at all. He was worried about Ling Ping's family having no one to carry on the family, and if something happened in the future, there would be no one to help.

Old Master Lu San's worries were not without reason, but those who thought they had gotten the best deal would never understand, like Lu Cheng. Upon learning that all of Marquis Ping'an's wealth had gone into the hands of the eldest wife, he put aside the idea of studying for the imperial examinations.

The entire mansion would be his in the future, but he still needed to study this useless book and started hanging out with all kinds of bad friends. Seeing that he had no ambition, his wife Chen secretly cried several times. Finally, she could not bear it any longer and returned to her parents' home to complain to her father, Chen Siye, about her husband.

Chen Siye was a man of profound learning but aloof and stubborn. He hated young people neglecting their studies, which led to him offending many, despite being a Siye at such an advanced age. Initially, he had opposed the marriage, but his wife, drawn to the man's wealth, insisted on it. After hearing his daughter's complaints, he immediately boarded a mule cart and headed to meet his in-laws.

When Master Lu heard that his in-laws had come, he didn't know what they were for. After hearing this, he was so angry that his eyebrows stood up and he shouted that he wanted to catch this rebellious son and interrogate him.

Chen Siye held his father-in-law's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry. If you go looking for trouble with him right after I leave, he will come back and make trouble for my daughter. For now, pretend nothing happened and test your son-in-law's knowledge as usual. When he can't answer, find an opportunity to punish him."

Master Lu: “——” You scholars are just cunning people.

Chen Siye personally sent his daughter back home. In front of his son-in-law, he only said that his daughter was not considerate enough and gave Lu Cheng a few words of advice on learning. Seeing that Lu Cheng was still absent-minded and distracted, Chen Siye did not waste any more words and went home in the mule cart.

The first thing he asked his wife when he got home was to clean up the room where their daughter lived before she got married. They only had this one daughter and they had always loved her very much, so his wife did as he was told.
