Chapter 112 Picking up the ashes

"roll roll roll!"

 "I want to see how you can live a good life without me!"

Lu Yuanze felt heartbroken when he saw the appearance of the Hou Mansion.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the gate, speaking harshly to Mrs. Xu.

Seeing the people around him pointing and laughing, Lu Yuanze's head felt dizzy.

 "Without the Xu family, the Hou family is reduced to four walls."

"There are really a few broken walls. Hahaha…"

Lu Jinghuai stepped forward to support his father.

 "Father, everything is fine."

 "Today's humiliation will be unforgettable in Jinghuai's mind."

"Jinghuai will definitely pass the Jie Yuan exam and pass the San Yuan exam to bring honor to his father and make the Hou family famous." Lu Jinghuai said loudly.

Lu Yuanze's depression dissipated a little, and he squeezed Lu Jinghuai's hand tightly: "Yes, father still has you."

"Tomorrow my father will report to me and appoint another heir apparent."

"You have been away for more than ten years, and I have wronged you all these years. My father should have brought you back long ago. You are a paralytic who writes inkstones, and you have wasted many years in the Marquis' mansion." Lu Yuanze sighed.

"Let's take care of the house first, I..." Lu Yuanze originally wanted to spend his own money to buy some things for the house.

 But his pockets were empty.

 Xu takes care of everything in daily life. After eighteen years of marriage, he has never worried about money.

 He thought for a while, then found a cash box to pay some usury.

When the shopkeeper saw Lord Lu, he said with a bitter face: "Master, you are an official of the imperial court. If you catch the usury money, something will happen."

"Besides, the 30,000 taels you borrowed last time has now grown to 33,000 taels, and you haven't paid it back yet."

Lu Yuanze was furious: "Thirty-three thousand? I've only borrowed it for a month, how come there are three thousand taels of silver added to it?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Master Hou, what you borrow is usury, and this is the nature of the interest."

"Master Hou, why don't you return the last one first?"

"How can you be short of money? Your wife can buy everything for more than a thousand taels." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

 Hey, this morning Zhongyong Hou's house was at peace, and the news spread throughout the capital.

It is said that the Xu family completely demolished the Hou Mansion, and now the Hou Mansion is really only four walls.

Lu Yuanze looked ugly. Hearing that the shopkeeper was teasing him, he turned around and left with a calm face.

 The people behind the ability to loan usury money in the capital should not be underestimated.

Lu Yuanze thought for a long time before clearing out the properties of the Hou Mansion in the past years.

 Xu is very good at managing the industry. The industry that was half-dead at that time is now doing very well.

 There are three Zhuangzi and three shops in the Hou Mansion.

The Hot Spring Villa is the largest. It was originally planned to be given to Lu Jingyao, but unfortunately it was given to Lu Chaochao by the Xu family.

"Sell two shops and repair the Marquis' mansion first. Then buy some furniture. Don't want to wrong the Jinghuai brothers and sisters." Lu Yuanze felt that his life was very tight.

 Sold two shops and got only 6,000 taels.

It cost three thousand taels to repair the Hou Mansion.

Three thousand are left, so I can buy some furniture and barely move in.

As soon as Mr. Pei entered the door, his face suddenly darkened.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 Smashed the new tea cup on the table to pieces.

"Damn Mrs. Xu!" Mrs. Pei gritted his teeth and suppressed his voice, "Why, why!"

 She won the battle with the Hou Mansion and became the mistress, but the Hou Mansion...

 House's Mansion is an empty shell!

"Why are there only 600 taels of silver in the books? How could the Marquis's mansion, which is so big, only have 600 taels of silver? Did Mrs. Xu embezzle the property of the Marquis's mansion?!" Mrs. Pei's eyes were red, and she stared, frightening the little maid beside her. Shivering.

 She was born into the Hou family and was left in the Hou family.

There are more than 130 servants in the Hou Mansion, half of which were bought by Xu and have been taken away.

 All the sons of the Hou family stayed here.

They regret it. They would have asked Madam to buy them earlier.

"The Marquis Mansion doesn't have many properties. The three shops are all run by my wife. There is also a Zhuangzi. I only live there for a few days in the summer, and there is not much property."

"The Marquis earns more than two hundred taels of silver a year, and there is no money on his books at all. It's all... the dowry supplement from the previous wife." Mrs. Pei was so angry that she was shaking all over.

 Six hundred taels?

 The entire Hou Mansion is only 600 taels?

The little maid paused, almost crying under Mr. Pei's murderous gaze, and then said: "Tomorrow, the house will distribute moon silver. About one hundred and sixty taels."

This does not include household expenses.

Mr. Pei's vision went dark and she fainted.

Lu Chaochao's family is extremely happy at this moment.

"Mom, do you live at my grandma's house?" Lu Chaochao asked, holding the big dog in his arms.

 Xu touched her daughter's head and shook her head gently.

She who always frowned now relaxed her brows.

  She has three sons and one daughter. The children are older and have self-esteem. Even though it was her natal family, she didn't want her children to live under someone else's roof.

"My mother bought a large house with five in and five out in Yulin Lane. She had prepared everything early and was just waiting to move in." Mrs. Xu had already planned the divorce, so how could she be embarrassed.

Yulin Lane is closer to the palace and has a better location than the Marquis Mansion.

"Wow, new house, new home... porridge." Lu Chaochao got out of the car and went straight to his new home.

 "Lu Mansion."

A smile appeared on Lu Yanshu's lips. From now on, this will be their new home.

The princes look down on them and look down on them, so they should live a good life!

The children each chose their own yard, and Mrs. Xu arranged a reunion dinner.

At this moment, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Lu Yuanze hosted a banquet for his colleagues in order to celebrate Lu Jinghuai's return to the clan.

"On Lu Chaochao's birthday, those who sent congratulatory gifts should also send an invitation." Lu Yuanze said calmly.

The old lady was cruel and took out two thousand taels from the coffin book, twitching with distress.

 This was what Xu had given her as a filial piety.

 Banquet.

 "Master Hou, Master Shangshu declined."

"Master Hou, Mr. Song kicked the young one out."

"Master Hou, the Minister of Rites said he was ill and could not come."

 Most of the posts he sent out were rejected, except for a few colleagues who knew him.

 Lu Yuanze cannot come to Taiwan.

It's strange, they obviously sent Lu Chaochao a full moon banquet gift.

Lu Yuanze didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was making people unhappy by referring to the outer room as his main wife.

 Fortunately, many classmates from Lu Jinghuai came to congratulate him on recognizing his ancestor.

Lu Jinghuai drank a few more glasses.

 In a daze, he seemed to see Su Zhiqing.

　　　After a few months of not seeing her, she has become as charming as a jade, and she has long lost her original youthfulness.

He shook his head and, under the influence of alcohol, stepped forward and grabbed Su Zhiqing's wrist: "Okay, since you entered the Marquis' Mansion, you have stopped paying attention to me. What? Do you really like Lu Zhengyue?"

Lu Jinghuai felt aggrieved today and was already a little depressed.

Su Zhiqing panicked and wanted to withdraw her hand.

"If you don't reply to letters, you will avoid me when you see me. Su Zhiqing, don't forget, you are my woman!"

"What? Lu Zhengyue is so nice that you have feelings for him? Huh?" Lu Jinghuai lifted her chin.

Su Zhiqing's beauty turned pale and her face changed drastically.

"Bastard, do you know I am you..." Before she could finish her words, Lu Jinghuai kissed her and blocked her lips.

boom…

The maid outside opened the door, the teacup in her hand shattered, and she stared blankly at Lu Jinghuai.

"You bastard, what did you do to your little girl?!" The old patriarch came out to relieve his hangover after drinking too much. He turned around and saw the woman in Lu Jinghuai's arms.

This is not the genealogy he wrote personally!

 Is Lu Yuanze a married woman? !
