Chapter 427

After the matter was explained clearly, the old lady said: "Mother Liu, let's serve dinner."

Where can Lu Youren still eat?He got up and said, "My son still has some business to deal with, so I won't be here to eat with my mother. My son will leave first."

Said that Lu Youren saluted and left first.

Seeing her father leaving, Lu Fanghua immediately felt a needle growing on the stool, and she became restless. Her father was not there, and she didn't want to stay in the Charity Hall for a moment, so she also got up and said, "Father is probably angry. My granddaughter is going to persuade father. .”

After a quick salute, he went after his father.

The old lady resentfully said: "Am I a man-eating tiger? As for everyone running so fast?"

Mama Liu comforted with a smile: "Master, there must be something really wrong."

As for the second miss, isn't the old lady just a tiger in the eyes of the second miss?He didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and if he had to, he would never set foot in the Hall of Mercy.

In the past, the second young lady was very attached to the old lady, but now she is afraid of the old lady like a tiger, which is also because of her guilty conscience.

"Don't care about them, let's eat ours."

The old lady beckoned Xiao Ning to sit beside her, took Xiao Ning's hand and said, "Xiao Ning, you have been wronged by what happened today, but don't take it to heart, your father is just like that, he likes To be a good old man is to save face, he would rather wrong his own people than offend others, and he didn't intend to target you."

Lu Xiaoning remained silent: Grandma was only partially right. In fact, the real sticking point between her and her father was the property left by her mother. If she didn't hand over the property for a day, her father would always target her.

Lu Xiaoning bit her lip, raised her eyes and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter has two things to say to grandma."

The solemn look in Lu Xiaoning's eyes made the old lady's heart sink. She asked many ways, but she couldn't find out what went wrong between Youren and Xiao Ning. Does Xiao Ning want to tell her now?
"Tell me, grandma is listening." The old lady said in a soft tone as much as possible.

Lu Xiaoning looked at the girls serving in the room.

The old lady understood: "You all step back first."

Liu Mafu saluted, signaled for everyone to retreat, and went out by herself.

"Liu Ma, you can stay here. Listen to what I have to say, Du Ruo, go out and watch." Lu Xiaoning called Liu Ma.

Mama Liu turned back again, Du Ruo was the last to go out and closed the door behind her.

Only then did Lu Xiaoning say: "Grandmother, don't worry about getting angry about what your granddaughter will say later."

The old lady was startled, her face became serious, and she said: "You just say, Grandma hasn't seen any bad things, and I don't care if there are more."

Lu Xiaoning hesitated for a moment, then said: "Grandmother, the second sister is going to enter Prince Qin's residence."

"What? Didn't your second sister's marriage fall through? Has the emperor's order changed again?" The old lady looked astonished.

Liu Ma also asked in surprise: "That's right, can the imperial decree still change? Miss, what's going on?"

Lu Xiaoning said: "The marriage really fell through, and I don't know how the second sister persuaded my father, and I don't know what my father thinks. He actually invited the most famous matchmaker in Jinling City to go to the Qin Palace to talk about the matter, saying that the second sister didn't want a name. I am very willing to enter the Qin Palace as a concubine, but the Qin Palace actually agreed."

The old lady opened her mouth, and the expression on her face gradually changed from disbelief to grief.

"It's a crime, it's a crime, is your father crazy? Giving his daughter to someone else to be a concubine..." The old lady was so sad that she didn't know what to say.

Although Fanghua's actions disappointed her, she was still her granddaughter no matter how disappointed she was, and she still wanted to wait for Xiaoning's life-long events to settle before finding an honest and reliable family for Fanghua... It is said that it is better to be a poor man's wife than a rich family's concubine. A concubine is the lowest and will be looked down upon for the rest of her life.Youren is so confused, is he hurting children?He is clearly harming Fanghua.

"When did this happen?" The old lady suppressed her anger and asked, she was kept in the dark about such a big thing.

"It's been a while, and the granddaughter has long wanted to tell her grandma. First, the father is very careful. Every time the granddaughter comes, the father is there, and the granddaughter has no chance to say it. Second, the granddaughter also thinks that the grandmother just fell ill. , I was afraid that grandma would get angry again, so I delayed talking until today." Lu Xiaoning said weakly.

"Then how do you know?" the old lady asked again.

"It was my father who told his granddaughter. My father told me that he had already found a buyer. The other party was willing to pay 40 taels for the two shops in Dongshi, 30 taels for repayment of loan sharks, and the remaining Two, he will give the second sister a dowry, not only that, but the father will also give the second sister eighty hectares of fertile land and a Zhuangzi."

Now even Liu's mother is not calm: "Eighty hectares? One more Zhuangzi? It's worth 100 million taels of silver."

Mrs. Ji has a very good vision, and the land she picked is solid fertile land, which is fertile and beautiful. More than ten years ago, it only cost 40 taels of silver per mu, and now it has more than doubled. The master feels sorry for the second lady. It was more than 100 million taels in one shot, and the property left by the first wife to the young lady was used, which was too much.

The old lady asked nervously, "Is that shop sold?"

"This is the second thing my granddaughter wants to tell her grandma. Back then, my mother was sick all the year round. She was afraid that one day she would die, and the Lou family would treat her granddaughter harshly when she entered the house, so she kept a hand secretly. Dong Zhaizi, all other commercial properties are frozen and cannot be traded, and I can only inherit them when I turn sixteen, only I have the right to dispose of these properties, whether to sell or donate." Lu Xiaoning said.

The old lady was stunned again: "Is there such a thing?"

Lu Xiaoning nodded: "Father has always known about it, so father only handed over the deed of this house to Mrs. Lou."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, your mother saved a hand, otherwise, these properties would have been surnamed Lou or Liang long ago, and she would have ruined them all."

"Because the daughter didn't agree with the father, the father has been dissatisfied with the daughter in various ways recently, accusing the daughter of being heartless, selfish, and selfish, which is a big unfilial piety."

The old lady said sternly: "Don't listen to your father, he is crazy, you are right, you can't agree to this matter, it is very respectable for an ordinary family to marry a daughter with a dowry of tens of thousands of taels of silver, once your father makes a move Even if it's millions, even if your second sister is married and becomes a princess, it won't take so much, let alone a nameless concubine. Grandma will never agree to this matter."

"The granddaughter's refusal is not because the father gave too much, even if the father just asked me to give it to my second sister, the granddaughter would not agree." Lu Xiaoning's eyes filled with a cold chill.

"Grandma, do you think my mother really died of illness?"

The old lady gasped: "Is there any reason behind this?"
