Chapter 254 260. Pingyang Marquis Mansion 08
Liu Fengning's throat was dry. He wanted to retort but didn't know where to start.
What made him even more angry was that Eunuch Li was looking at him with contempt. He thought that Eunuch Li was just a eunuch, so what right did he have to look down on him?
It hasn't been long since he left the mansion and such a big thing has happened. How does Lin Xi manage the mansion?
As for Lin Xi's dowry, from the moment she entered the mansion, not all of it belonged to his Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
You have remained silent for so many years, why are you speaking out today?
This woman is really going too far and is increasingly disregarding her.
He should not have allowed Lin Shan to become so powerful back then. Did he really think that he didn't know that Lin Shan had already hooked up with another noble person? That's why Lin Xi dared to speak so loudly.
Seeing his expression changing from time to time, Eunuch Li said meaningfully, "Lord Liu, how about I go to the palace first and report to His Majesty, and then let you finish your family affairs before entering the palace."
"No need," Liu Fengning said, and then he felt that his tone was a little stiff, so he quickly said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Eunuch Li. I will ask someone to deal with it immediately. I will definitely not dare to delay your majesty's important matter."
At this moment, even if it was embarrassing, he had to bite the bullet and get off the car. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be a small matter for their Pingyang Marquis Mansion to become a laughing stock, but when the emperor came to punish them, that would be a real disaster.
"Okay, stop messing around here. We can talk about it later. Madam, why do you have to bother with these guys?"
Everyone looked at Lord Liu with an even more unpleasant look in their eyes. He hadn't even asked about the matter yet, but he already started blaming the mistress of the house. This was truly extremely biased.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Xi was proud in her heart, but her face looked aggrieved, "My Lord, you are back. It's not that I want to cause trouble with them, but they blocked my carriage and wouldn't let me leave."
She is now a vulnerable group, of course she can't shout at the head of the family, and she pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, "Fortunately, the marquis is back, otherwise I really can't go in and out."
Yun Tutu, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Look at this family and what they have done to the mistress of the house. This is what everyone has seen.
When Liu Fengning saw that all the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion were gathered here, he almost burst into tears.
Are these people pig-headed? They blocked the way of the stepmother in broad daylight. Do they want to lose their reputation?
No, after being tormented by them like this, I guess someone will report me tomorrow.
By then, the crime of not managing the household properly and of disrespecting and unfilial sons and daughters will be brought down, and the official career of the descendants of the marquis will end here.
"What are you doing?" he shouted angrily, "Even if your stepmother is wrong, you can't block her way in the street."
Lin Xi raised the corners of her mouth. This was her husband, and he was trying to put the blame on her.
"My Lord, please stop scolding them. It's my fault as a stepmother. They wanted my dowry and I shouldn't have asked for it back.
All right, you all go away. I will ask the housekeeper to put out all my dowry for you to choose from. If you like anything, take it all away."
After saying this, he covered his face, which made the onlookers around him feel indignant.
They finally realized that these bastards dared to act this way because they relied on the power of Marquis Liu.
Liu Changqing and the others looked dejected. They thought that their father's return would solve the problem, but unexpectedly, it completely angered their stepmother. Listen to what she said, what did she mean by "take away whatever they like"? This was pushing them to death.
The melon seeds in Zhang Yang's hand fell, "That's awesome, I think I'll wear men's clothes in the future, the harem is too scary." Yun Tutu nodded in agreement, "In fact, we are fine, the real pitiful ones are the ladies in ancient times, you say you marry into the husband's family with a large dowry, manage the family business and have children, and help him raise a bunch of concubines and children, with this money, how comfortable it would be to be free and easy.
The most terrifying thing is that the person next to you wants to step on you to death all the time. What is the purpose of your life?"
Zhang Yaowen didn't dare to say anything at this moment. He was afraid of bringing the war to himself, even though he was innocent.
But don’t underestimate girls who lose their minds. There is also an emotion called venting anger on others.
He tried to minimize his presence, but his chauvinism was still there.
Liu Fengning, "Lin, what do you want to do? If you have anything to say, wait until we get back home. Educating your children is what you should do as a mother. If there is anything wrong with them, tell them properly.
Don’t forget that when we rise, we all rise, and when we fall, we all fall.”
Lin Xi, "But Lord, they have been with their aunt since they were young. I rarely see them once a year. How can I educate them?"
"Oh! It's really pitiful that the mistress of the house is like this." Now even the big men around couldn't stand it anymore. Most of the neighbors were people of status and position. Even if the people watching here were managers or vendors, they had some background behind them, otherwise they would not dare to watch the fun here.
They were not afraid of offending Lord Liu. “I’ve heard before that Lord Liu favors his concubines and kills his wife, but seeing it today, I really underestimated him.
As the head of the family, you rarely see your concubines. What's going on?"
"This lady from the Lin family is really patient. I have never seen her make a fuss in all these years."
"What's the matter? She married into the Marquis's Mansion and it was considered a high-class marriage. The Lin family still relies on this relationship to develop."
"That was all a few years ago. The Lin family is now prosperous, with business all over the country. The soap we've been using recently is sold by the Lin family. It's no exaggeration to say that they're making a fortune every day.
Marrying such a rich girl, but not treating her well, and letting the concubines treat her like this, how can this be called a happy home? It's simply a den of tigers and wolves."
The person who was talking next to him didn't lower his voice, which made Lord Liu's face turn blue and purple. What happened to Lin today? Why did she not give him face?
I was about to scold him like before, but I heard Eunuch Li shouting from behind, "Lord Liu, leave your family affairs for later. Don't forget that you still have important things to do."
Liu Fengning felt a chill on his back. He was so angry that he almost forgot about the business. "Eunuch Li is right."
He turned his head and stared at Lin Xi and said, "Where are Yun Tutu and the others? You didn't even bother to bring them to the palace gate earlier. His Majesty is waiting to be summoned. If you delayed things, what crime will you be punished for?"
Lin Xi's heart was even colder. He wanted to accuse her of something from time to time. How could he do what he wanted? "My Lord, we should have set off a long time ago, but these unfilial children stood in our way and insisted on calculating my dowry. I had no choice."
They were all determined to tear each other apart. Lin Xi wasn't afraid of him. Didn't he want to put the blame on himself? Then let's all come together and see who gets hurt more.
Liu Fengning had not expected Lin Xi's strength...
