The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

The next day, every room in the Lu family began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets, and the whole house was in chaos.

Confused, Zhao asked, "Master, are there any guests coming to your house? Why are you moving these things out?"

Her shrewd eyes swept over those things, and she clearly remembered that these were the treasures in Lu Yuande's study.

"Don't ask so many questions. Just take out all your jewelry and private money."

Lu Yuande gave the order without even raising his head, but this sentence made Zhao unhappy. Those were treasures she had saved for many years, so how could she give them away for no reason?

Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Yuande said angrily, "Just move if I tell you to. There are a lot of antiques in Xiao'er's study. You should also clean them up. I can use them."

The more he kept silent, the more confused Zhao felt. "Master, what exactly happened? You have to tell me something so I can understand."

Lu Yuande told Zhao about Lu Yingxue asking for her dowry, and Zhao's eyes widened immediately. It turned out that all these things had to be returned to Lu Yingxue, which she would not do.

"Master, I'm not being nosy, but this young lady is a divorced woman who has returned home. Her dowry should be returned to her parents' home. Why should she ask for it back?"

Lu Yuande also wanted to use this excuse to withhold the silver he had obtained, but the strange thing was that his parents had divided the family property early on and divided all the property into three parts, one for the two elders, one for himself, and one for Lu Yingxue.

These shops and gold and silver were all recorded in the books. Later, when Lu Yingxue got married, the Lu family did not give any dowry, so all of Lu Qingxue's dowry belonged to Lu Yingxue personally, and had nothing to do with him or the Lu family.

Unless Lu Yingxue offered it as a gift, he had no reason to withhold her dowry and it had to be returned in full.

Zhao didn't know about this, but when she said it, it sounded like a mockery to him, which made him look bad.

He growled angrily, "Just clean up when I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"But if these things are taken away, how can we survive? How can we pay the servants? Are we going to let them drive us into a corner like last time?"

The Zhao family was still frightened by what happened last time. They originally wanted to use the issue of wages to force Lu Qingchen to surrender, but they didn't expect Lu Qingchen to use the indenture contract as an excuse and ignored them completely. As a result, the servants ended up besieging their entire family, which was quite a joke.

If Lu Yingxue hadn't just returned home from divorce, I don't know where she would have gotten the money to shut the servants up!

Lu Yuande was furious and immediately slammed the table and stood up, "How dare you talk like that? Do you think I can starve you to death?"

Since Zhao came to the Lu family, she had never been treated so humiliatingly. She immediately covered her face and burst into tears, but she held on to those things tightly in her hands and refused to let go no matter what.

This action made Lu Yuande even more angry. "These are all Lu family's things. If you don't want to take them out, then get out of the Lu family."

Zhao looked at him in disbelief, unable to believe that he could be so heartless after being a loving couple for many years.

But Lu Yuande didn't even look at her, and had already instructed his men to start moving.

She whimpered and ran away crying.

Lu Yuande ordered expressionlessly, "Move out all the things in Aunt Zhao's room and make a list as soon as possible and send it to Aunt Zhao."

Judging from Lu Yingxue's expression yesterday, her sister was determined to get back the dowry. She didn't have a husband's family now, so it didn't matter even if she gave less. He didn't believe that Lu Yingxue didn't even want her parents' family.

But when the servants moved only one tenth of the things to Lu Yingxue's yard, Lu Yingxue immediately became angry.

He smashed a set of porcelain in the house and said, "As expected, Qingchen was right. He actually wants to take my dowry."

"Madam, what should we do now? Should we go find Master Lu?" The nanny beside Lu Yingxue asked cautiously, unable to be sure of her master's thoughts.

"Go, why not? He has the nerve to embezzle my dowry, why should I be embarrassed to go?"

Lu Yingxue and her nanny walked towards the study in the front yard in a threatening manner. When the servants passing by saw her, they immediately started talking about it. They thought that the Lu family was about to get busy again.

Here, Lu Qingchen found Qin Miaoxi and asked, "Did a strange woman come to see you before?"

Qin Miaoxi blinked blankly, "Strange woman? No!"

Lu Qingchen frowned, thinking that Wen Zhu's information could not be wrong. He turned around and scratched the ground twice.

"This is the person you haven't seen before?"

Qin Miaoxi saw that the painting was really not simple. Although it didn't have much shape, it was very similar! It immediately reminded her of that kind sister.

"You mean that beautiful sister?"

Lu Qingchen was shocked, "Beautiful sister?"

How come another sister popped up? The last time was at Zuihualou. He still couldn’t forget the lewd look on this woman’s face when she saw a beautiful woman.

Qin Miaoxi seemed to be afraid that he would not believe her, so she quickly ran back into the house and came out holding a human figure.

"Look, that beautiful sister even asked me to draw for her!"

Lu Qingchen completely lost his temper in front of the one-to-one replica of Princess Xinglan. As expected, those who were called sister by her rarely had a good ending.

Look, the person is still there, but the portrait has been made into a paper man.

Thinking that every household would burn Princess Xinglan's grave when visiting her grave in the future, he suddenly felt a little sympathy for her.

"Ahem! Did she say anything to you?"

Qin Miaoxi pondered, "I don't think so. I was busy drawing and didn't pay attention."

"Very good, this woman is mentally unstable. Stay away from her from now on and don't let her hurt you again."

"Oh, I see."

She agreed verbally, but was thinking about something else in her heart. She wondered if her beautiful sister had any beautiful friends. If not, a handsome man would also do. She was not picky.

Lu Qingchen solemnly took out two carefully prepared lists. Qin Miaoxi only took a quick glance at them, and her eyes suddenly widened. The light in her eyes was like bright stars, captivating.

She flipped through the pages one by one, and it took her a long time to suppress the waves in her heart.

The dazzling array of rare treasures before her were things she had never heard of or seen before, which made her very excited. She was like a little mouse thrown into a rice jar, feeling happy just by looking at them.

She quickly put the booklet away. It was enough to just read it, but it would be wrong to think about it any further.

She asked doubtfully, "Why are you showing this to me?"

"This... is the betrothal gift I prepared. If you think there's anything inappropriate, I can add it in."

As the most dissolute playboy in Jingzhao, Lu Qingchen also developed a little bit of insecurity in major life events. He always felt that what he gave was not enough and that this woman deserved the best.

Qin Miaoxi covered her mouth in disbelief, "You went to rob the national treasury?"

Otherwise, why would it be written in there that there was a box of tribute Dongzhu and countless treasures?

Lu Qingchen scratched his head embarrassedly, "Didn't I invest all my money in Yunyin Pavilion? I made a small profit this time, don't you think it's too little?"

Qin Miaoxi almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Is this what people say? Another day of hatred towards the rich.

"Just follow the normal gift list. These things are too valuable. And why are there two of them?"

The two booklets have different contents, but both are rare treasures with unique value. It would be extremely difficult to gather them together.

Lu Qingchen said as a matter of course: "One is my betrothal gift, and one is your dowry."

"My...dowry?"
