Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 359 Sister Wen Bao was released from the house

The general's mansion also sent people to burn paper money, pay gifts, and appease the adults and children in the family. These superficial things still need to be done, after all, when a person dies, there is nothing left.

As for why they didn't send him directly to the prison, it was because the Ninth Prince burned the only evidence. Besides, they couldn't bring the Ninth Prince out, and the crime was too minor to be executed, otherwise it would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

Just create an accident like this, and solve it cleanly, neatly and quietly. Sometimes, what is invisible is really black, and what is invisible is really white. What you see and hear is not necessarily true.

But in the end, the people left and the tea was forgotten. Lieutenant General Lu was hastily buried. The people who came to the funeral were the brothers who had fought together for many years. No one else came to see him off. There was no one else in his family who was an official, so who would care about face.

Madam Lu led the people to bury General Lu properly, and then led the whole family back to the mansion. They came to the hall to sit down and rest, and let the children go back to their rooms first.

She still needs to arrange for the remaining people here. The man in the family has left, and they don’t know what to do? There are still a few shops and some fields in the family, and they all need to send people to check them.

The family's money should be used sparingly in the future. My eldest son is only eleven years old, not yet of marriageable age, but the in-laws have already been engaged. I just don't know if they regret it? Their family has experienced such a big change, it's hard to say, now they can be considered to be marrying someone else's daughter.

Wen Bao followed them back and asked his younger brother who was waiting outside to pick up his aunt and father. As soon as they came, he went outside and brought them in to meet the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was in charge of everything in the mansion, so how could she not know why they came here? She really didn't have time to deal with these concubines, and it was impossible for her to support them with money. The two concubines had no children, so it was easy to deal with them. Either they left on their own, or she would find a place for them.

As for the third child, she hated her the most. She relied on her favor to always put on troubles for her and took away a lot of money from the mansion. She was ready to sell her out directly and let her be arrogant again.

It seems that their family is smart enough to take their daughter back home, so let her go for the sake of the child! But don’t even think about taking her stuff with you.

Aunt Wen Bao and uncle were not good people at home, but they were not good people at Lu's house. The two of them came over timidly, lowered their heads and dared not speak. It was Wen Bao who stepped forward and explained their purpose for coming.

The eldest lady's eyes were full of coldness as she asked them, "You don't have to say so much now that you are here. Everyone knows what's going on. Do you want to take him away and never come back, or do you want him to stay here in the future? What do you choose?"

Wen Bao's sister was also a flexible person. She immediately knelt down and cried bitterly, "Thank you for leaving me a way out. I was ignorant and always contradicted you before. I kowtow to you to apologize. I'll leave the child in your care. A daughter will be your help in the end. Please don't blame the child."

The eldest lady said disdainfully: "It's good to know. The child belongs to our Lu family. I didn't treat her badly when you were here, and I won't treat her badly after you leave. I can still raise a child, so you don't have to worry about it."

Sister Wen Bao didn't dare to go back to get her things. In fact, she had packed all her valuables with her these days, fearing that she would be sold suddenly and still have a way out. She kowtowed several times, took the letter of release written by the eldest lady, and returned to her parents' home with her parents and brothers.

On the way home, Sister Wen Bao was also scared. She didn't expect that the eldest lady had already written a letter to release the concubine, and when she agreed, she asked someone to write her name on it and gave it to her on the spot. She thought that if her family didn't come, she might have to sell the book tomorrow.

Aunt Wen Bao and his uncle said to their daughter: "Don't worry, my daughter. When you go home, your parents will find you a good family to marry into. You can still eat well and dress well."

She thought to herself, it seems that she should make plans early, otherwise she will still be sold. They said she was marrying her off, but they were just exchanging her for money. But she couldn't let them know about the money in her hand, otherwise she would lose it.
