Chapter 345 No Face and No Money
The Mansion of Marquis Qinxing in the capital.
Leng Xian continued to occupy Zhongshun's hut throughout the whole day.
Yin occupied Madam Lu's room.
Nanny Lu had no choice but to place two benches side by side so that she could keep watch for the lady and also have a place to lie down.
After all, her cold hasn't healed yet.
Seeing her lady occupying her bed, Nanny Lu felt dissatisfied and helpless.
I haven't recovered from my cold yet, so I want to cover myself with warmth, lie down in something soft, and have a good sleep to relax.
But now, my wife occupied my bed, and I could only lie on a half-long wooden bench, covered with a thin quilt.
Is this the life in the Marquis' Mansion?
You know, this is the dignified Qinxing Marquis Mansion;
In fact, the place where she is sleeping now is not as good as the slum that shelters refugees!
At least there are rows of big kangs in the slums!
And now, there are only two painful hard benches under her, and she can't even stretch her legs!
Throughout the whole day, there were always people gathered at the gate of Qinxing Marquis's Mansion to watch the fun, and there were always shopkeepers and shop assistants coming to ask questions...
Has the eldest lady of the mansion returned home?
Can I pay them?
Some even asked directly, "Have the thief been found?"
Can lost property be recovered?
The ultimate goal is nothing more than... can I pay the bill?
Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu were called to the main gate again and again by the gatekeepers to deal with those who came to collect debts and ask questions.
The two of them just felt exhausted and tired.
Thinking about the uncertain future of the Marquis' Mansion, thinking about the eldest daughter who has not returned...
Alas! Even if the young lady came back, what could we do?
Let them talk to the eldest lady and ask her to agree to sell the late madam's shop and continue to support these people in the marquis' mansion?
Or should we let the eldest daughter ask the Anguo Mansion for money to support these people?
Even if the Marquis and his men have the nerve, one of them is a housekeeper and the other is an accountant, they... they really don't have the face to speak!
Sometimes, they were actually glad that the eldest lady was not at home!
If we don't count on the eldest lady to help, how can the Marquis' Mansion get out of its current predicament?
Do you count on Madam Yin?
Yin's family is a vampire! Don't even think about having any hope.
Are you counting on the Marquis?
What does the Marquis have?
Are you counting on the salary from the Marquis?
That little bit of salary is just a drop in the bucket for this marquisate!
What's more, the Marquis was fined three months' salary by the Emperor for missing the morning court!
If there really is no money for three months, how will the Marquis' Mansion survive?
I just drank porridge and ate pickles...and it didn't last more than three months!
Could it be... could it be that the other way around... let them, the servants, support the masters?
To be honest, they didn't even dare to hope to catch the thief and get back their lost property.
Besides, who can say for sure how long it will take to catch them and how much lost property can be recovered?
Even if we take a step back and say that the thief was caught, all the lost items were recovered.
But the Emperor is watching, Shuntian Prefecture is watching, and Anguogong Mansion is watching. The madam’s dowry list is there. I’m afraid that the things we find won’t even match the things on the dowry list!
Don’t even think about enjoying the late wife’s dowry as you did before!
Now the eldest daughter has been taken away by the Anguo Mansion’s in-laws.
With the support of the Anguo Mansion and the future royal family of her husband's family, will the eldest daughter still compromise like she did before?
Will you allow them to take away your mother's dowry at will?
both are not.
Where is the road in front of the Marquis' Mansion?
Lu Jie'en and Peng Lu looked at each other.
From the beginning when they were discussing and dealing with the problem together, to now they are completely silent!
Lu Jie'en went directly to the ancestral hall in the northeast corner of the marquis's garden, burned three incense sticks to the old marquis, kowtowed a few times, and knelt there for a whole afternoon!
Qinxing Hou Lengxian was lying on the wooden bed in the hut, listening to Zhongshun Zuo's report that there was another debt collector outside the door.
The next time someone came to ask if the eldest lady had returned home?
Leng Xian is going crazy!
Until Zhongshun brought a thinner porridge and a steamed bun.
Leng Xian looked at the bowl of porridge and steamed buns. He felt hungry but had no appetite... What kind of feeling was this?
This feeling is so uncomfortable!
But what can he do?
The food in the Marquis' Mansion right now is just thin porridge. I'm afraid we won't be able to drink it for a few more days, right?
Is this the rhythm that a great marquis like him is going to starve?
Leng Xian only drank a bowl of porridge. As for the cold steamed bun... he really had no appetite.
He lay there and fell into a sleep in a daze.
I drank some porridge at noon, took a nap, and when I got up to pee, the porridge was gone!
Leng Xian, feeling hungry, had no choice but to lie back on the bed.
Looking at the sky gradually darkening, Leng Xian felt like crying but had no tears.
How did he end up in this situation?
He missed it so much... He missed the first few years after he married Fu Baozhen...
Life in the mansion is rich and happy, and every day is like a blooming flower!
Later... later Fu Baozhen was gone, but Fu Baozhen's dowry was still there!
Although the Marquis's Mansion is living on the dowry of the deceased lady, it is embarrassing to tell others about it.
Although I don’t have face, I have money! I have money that I can’t spend anymore!
But what about now? No face, no money!
How can we go on living like this?
