The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 284 Negotiation

“So this time, as long as we can find evidence that the Third Prince is colluding with the Ministry of Justice and trying to cover up the truth, that will be enough!” Ye Xinran said.

"So, did you catch it?"

Lu Changqing asked expectantly.

"Caught!"

Ye Xinran smiled.

"With Prince Rui here, what can't be accomplished? Even though Prince Rui is a military commander, he is really an old fox!"

When Ye Xinran thought of Prince Rui's expression when he told her these things, she felt that this old fox couldn't be more cunning.

"That's it!"

Leng Qingyu and Lu Changqing both felt relieved.

"So what should we do next?" Lu Changqing asked?

"We don't need to worry about the affairs of the court. We just need to take care of the affairs at home."

Ye Xinran's expression turned serious.

Ever since Lu Tingen got into trouble, this mother and son have caused them so much trouble.

Without them, the Third Prince would not have had any chance.

My mother hasn’t been eating or sleeping well these days and has been worried about this matter.

Now, it's time to let them see the power of the principal wife.

After the three of them exchanged information, they went to the ancestral hall in the backyard.

In the ancestral hall, Ning Yuer and Lu Changning had been beaten with 50 boards and had passed out.

It was obvious that the servant who was enforcing the family rules showed no mercy. The lower bodies of the two men were now covered in blood, and there were spots of blood on the ground.

It was dripping from their bodies when they were carried into the house.

"Wake him up!"

Leng Qingyu ordered.

The servants fetched cold water from the well and poured it directly on the two men's heads.

The well water in the cold winter was freezing, and when it was poured on them, it even contained ice chips.

Shocked by the cold water, Ning Yuer slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in a daze. She raised her finger tremblingly and said to Leng Qingyu: "You, you vicious woman! How dare you do such a cruel thing to me!

You will be punished! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"

"Oh? Speaking of vicious women, who can be as evil as you?"

Leng Qingyu said, slowly squatting down, staring into Ning Yuer's eyes, and said word by word:

“You and Lu Tingen have been plotting against the baby in my belly since I was pregnant, and you want to exchange my daughter for a farmer’s family.

If it weren't for her good luck, we mother and daughter would never have the chance to meet each other in this life!

People like you should go to the eighteenth level of hell even after you die!

Do you think that King Yama will let you out to wreak havoc on the world?"

Ning Yuer suddenly felt a chill.

It was not the cold water just now, but a bone-chilling chill from the inside out.

"You and your son want to be my servants so much, then fine, I will let you have a taste of what it feels like to be my servants."

After saying that, Ye Xinran stood up and said to the servants, "Notify the housekeeper later and ask the doctor to come over to check on these two people after he has finished treating the people in the mansion. They don't need to be given very good medicine, just make sure they don't die."

"Yes!"

The servant responded respectfully.

The news that the Madam was going to give rewards today had spread among the servants.

Everyone has nothing to say about such a master, and they will only be more loyal to him in the future.

Leng Qingyu continued, "After you have examined their injuries, I will give these two people pens and ink. If you cannot finish copying ten Buddhist scriptures tonight, you will not be able to eat tomorrow!

This will happen every day from now on, so keep a close eye on it!"

"Yes!"

The servant understood Ye Xinran's meaning and looked at the mother and son with contempt.

A person like this still dreams of climbing over my lady's head. He should forget about it in his next life.

Ning Yuer didn't expect Leng Qingyu to be so cruel.

She struggled to drag herself towards Ye Xinran, shouting, "You will be punished, you will be punished!

If the Marquis knew about this, he would never let you treat me like this!

The Marquis and I have been childhood sweethearts. If it weren’t for you, the Marquis and I could have lived together forever!

It's you, it's you who took the place that belongs to me!

It's you who has taken over the magpie's nest!

It's you……"

The servant was frightened to death by her words and quickly squatted down to cover Ning Yuer's mouth.

Ning Yuer was sobbing and unable to utter a word. She only looked at Leng Qingyu with vicious eyes.

It was as if he could see through Leng Qingyu's body.

"Mom, there is another daughter in the yard. Do you want her to come and accompany her brother and mother?"

Ye Xinran suddenly asked.

Ning Yuer was originally gritting her teeth in hatred, but after hearing what Ye Xinran said, she suddenly shook her head violently, with fear in her eyes.

Ye Xinran signaled the servant to step back, "Let her speak!"

The servant let go of her hand. Ning Yuer took two breaths and said hastily, "That's not my daughter. I don't have a daughter!"

Ye Xinran's lips curled slightly:

"Why are you so nervous about not having a daughter? I didn't even mention the name, so you know who I'm talking about?"

Ning Yuer realized her own gaffe and quickly waved her hands: "I really don't have a daughter, please don't harm her!"

"I can harm anyone I want. Since when did a useless person have the right to control his master?

I advise you to copy the scriptures carefully. Maybe my mother will be happy and let her go! What do you think, mother? "

Leng Qingyu looked at Ning Yuer with a calm tone.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm happy or not. I'll burn the scriptures for the Marquis after you've copied them. As long as the Marquis is happy and tells me in a dream to let Lu Zhiyi go, I will fulfill his wish after his death!"

Ning Yuer's teeth were almost broken.

Leng Qingyu said this, not giving her any hope at all.

But now that things have come to this, she has fallen to this point. If she doesn't do what Leng Qingyu said, what other options does she have?

Before she stepped into the Marquis's Mansion, she could never have imagined that one day she would not even have the freedom to die!

Watching Ning Yuer's gradually depressed expression, Leng Qingyu inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure.

Damn them!

But she didn't want them to die so easily.

She wanted to torture them slowly, making them suffer pain that was ten or a hundred times more than what Xinran had experienced as a child!

……

With this thought in mind, Leng Qingyu left the ancestral hall.

Ye Xinran and Lu Changqing followed behind silently.

Now that Ning Yuer's problem has been resolved, the next thing to do is to deal with Lu Changqing's conferring of the title.

The imperial edict was just issued today, and the rewards from the palace will arrive later.

Starting tomorrow, many dignitaries will come to congratulate him one after another. Lu Changqing needs to learn how to deal with them and at the same time choose the right candidates among them for further interactions in the future.

In addition to Lu Changqing being busy, Leng Qingyu also had to prepare to welcome guests.

The mansion is still in mourning now, so it is not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony. The snacks and meals prepared, as well as the layout of the mansion, must all be in accordance with the rules and cannot be found wrong.

These things were too complicated and Leng Qingyu couldn't handle them by himself. Ye Xinran was supposed to help.

But now Chen Yan's surgery day is approaching, and Ye Xinran has no time to spare.
