Chapter 46
From that day on, the business cooperation between the County Prince's Mansion and Fengxue Pavilion was completely cut off.
No matter how many times Lu Shangxuan came to visit, the door of Fengxue Pavilion was always closed, so he had to accept the rejection.
He didn't know what strange steps Qin Mu made at that time. Lu Shangxuan tried his best but was unable to catch up with him. He could only watch helplessly as he left the county prince's mansion.
"It would be fine if Boss Qin didn't hear about it that day, but it happened to be heard by others, and there are those sachets!"
As soon as Mrs. Lu mentioned this, her hands shook with anger. She couldn't help but pointed at Lu Shangxuan beside the bed and cursed: "I just said she is a broom star and a mourning star. Nothing good will happen every time she is present. , you refused to listen and insisted on getting involved with her!"
"Okay, mother! Why do you have to put all the blame on Lian'er?"
Lu Shangxuan replied with a somewhat impatient tone. He had been listening to Mrs. Lu repeating these words back and forth for quite some time in the past few days, and he really couldn't listen anymore.
However, his attitude made Mrs. Lu even more dissatisfied. She hit the quilt hard with her right hand, making a muffled sound.
"Isn't it? How many people saw my joke at the birthday banquet and laughed at our county prince's mansion for not being able to educate a child well. And now, as soon as she comes back to the mansion, our business with Fengxue Pavilion is gone. We still have to pay out so much money, oh, my heart hurts just thinking about it!"
The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She stared straight at Lu Shangxuan and said in a trembling voice: "By the way, there is also Yiyuan. Why did the servants live there in the past and everything was fine? Didn't she do it as soon as she entered?" How long did it take for the fire to start?"
"That's just because of the autumn dryness. Maybe the servants didn't pay attention for a while and gave them to the leaves when they were burning." Lu Shangxuan also had a flash of doubt in his eyes, but he still said a few good words for Lu Lianzhi: "Mother , Lian'er has been watched by you since childhood, and she also gave birth to Brother Dong for me, can you please stop putting all the fault on her!"
It's okay that Brother Dong was not mentioned. When Brother Dong was mentioned, Mrs. Lu's face became even more livid.
She was so angry that she was bedridden. Brother Dong never came to visit her once, but every day she could hear the servants coming to report Brother Dong's mischief in the yard.
That is her direct grandson!
"Ahem! Don't mention that unfilial grandson. He just followed his useless mother and didn't take me as a grandma seriously at all!"
Mrs. Lu coughed violently, and the maid quickly brought a bowl of Chinese medicine for her to drink.
As soon as the Chinese medicine was put into her mouth, Mrs. Lu immediately noticed something was wrong. She frowned and spit the medicine back into the plate, angrily yelling: "What is added here, why does it taste so bitter!"
The maid immediately knelt down and responded stammeringly: "Hui, Hui, Madam, it's probably because the centuries-old wild ginseng in it has been replaced by ordinary ginseng, so the taste becomes astringent."
Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan's eyes widened and he yelled at the maid: "How brave! Who allows you to replace the master's medicinal materials at will!"
"No, young master, this slave is unjustly accused," the maid was so frightened that her eyes were red, and she kept shouting: "These medicinal materials were given to the slave by the butler to cook, and the slave does not know anything!"
"Go and call the butler and ask him clearly."
Lu Shangxuan raised his hand impatiently, and a servant quickly stepped back and found the butler.
In less than a moment, the butler Chen Xiyuan arrived in a hurry, first bowed to Lu Shangxuan, and then saluted Mrs. Lu who was lying on the bed.
"Old lady, young master."
Seeing Lu Shangxuan just sitting there without saying a word, looking in a very bad mood, Chen Xiyuan felt uneasy, so he had to carefully smile and ask: "I wonder why the young master called me here?"
"What's the matter? Bitch slave, you secretly exchanged the old lady's medicinal materials and secretly used them to line your own pockets. You dare to ask the master what happened!" Lu Shangxuan slammed the bowl of hot Chinese medicine in front of Chen Xiyuan, as if to Let out the anger that you have been holding in your heart just now.
"Changed the medicinal ingredients?"
Chen Xiyuan was stunned for a moment by these words, and then he suddenly realized that he was wronged as well.
"No, young master, please listen to me explain to you. One tael of hundred-year-old mountain ginseng originally costs three taels of gold. But if you replace it with ordinary ginseng, you can buy half a catty. That's why I bought ordinary ginseng." It’s for medicine!”
It was okay not to explain, but this explanation made Mrs. Lu angrily slap the mattress and scold Chen Xiyuan loudly: "I think I was not kind to you in the past, why would you buy this cheap ginseng to harm me?" !”
"It's not that Xiao Xiao deliberately wanted to buy cheap ginseng, but, but..."
"But what!"
Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan felt slightly uneasy, so he waved the other servants to retreat, leaving only Chen Xiyuan.
Chen Xiyuan hesitated for a long time, and finally had to whisper: "Master, Madam, the money available in the house is getting less and less now. In the future, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation is really not the same as before. ”
"Money is getting less and less? Where has all the money in the house gone?"
Lu Shangxuan felt more and more uneasy, so he asked Chen Xiyuan to stand up and reply.
"Originally, the mansion could get a fixed amount of money from Fengxue Pavilion every month. However, after Boss Qin stopped the business cooperation with the mansion, the money was..."
"Fengxue Pavilion, it's Fengxue Pavilion again! Could it be that without that damn Qin Mu, the prince's palace can't survive?"
The anger in Lu Shangxuan's heart became even more intense, and he immediately threw everything on the table at hand to the ground.
The porcelain fell all over the floor with a "crackling" sound, which scared Chen Xiyuan's heart and he did not dare to take a breath.
"Get off!"
"Yes, it's the young master."
Chen Xiyuan still dared to stay in the room, so he hurriedly got up and retreated.
When only Lu Shangxuan and Mrs. Lu were left in the room, Mrs. Lu's voice sounded slightly panicked: "Son, what that bitch said is true. There is really no need in the house." All the money is gone?”
Lu Shangxuan grinded his teeth fiercely, knowing that what Chen Xiyuan said was not alarmist, so he responded impatiently: "I don't know very well, so I'll just go check it out."
After that, he was about to get up and go find the accountant to find out.
However, Mrs. Lu suddenly remembered something and immediately called Lu Shangxuan and said eagerly: "By the way, does Ripple know about this?"
It was okay not to mention Dou Lianyi, but when she was mentioned, Lu Shangxuan's mood became even worse.
