Chapter 28
Chen Guogong didn't make a sound, but his face was very livid.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Changsun thought he was acquiescing, so she continued: "Besides, didn't you ask me to tell Zhu'er about someone else? There is only an empty shell left in our Duke's mansion now, that is, we talked about marriage. Isn't it shabby? You are the Duke of the state, and now you have been granted the title of Duke Protector. You have a noble status. When holding a wedding banquet, you can't simply be shabby. With this gold, we can do it extravagantly, and it will also increase your face. ah."

Chen Guogong's eyes were full of turmoil, but he asked calmly: "The Zhuangzi shop that Ah Zhen left before, isn't there money every month? Why is there only an empty shell left in the Duke's mansion?"

Changsun called Qu, "Zhuangzi has been in drought for the past two years. How can there be any income? As for the shop, it has been poorly managed and the business has not been good. It can only be maintained, and occasionally it suffers losses. It is all from giving money to turn around. As for The big head is in the hands of my mother, and I have no way of knowing whether it is a loss or a profit."

Chen Guogong pondered for a while, "Zhuangzi has no income due to drought, and if the store is not well managed, he will lose money, so let's hand it all back to Jinning. Anyway, it is left by her mother, and it will have to be given to her sooner or later."

The eldest grandson was taken aback, "Give it back to her? How can that be done? How can she go out to manage the shop and Zhuangzi as a boudoir girl? Moreover, although it is the dowry of the eldest sister, but the eldest sister has been there for so many years, the dowry is naturally in the public house, the public house What is it like to hand over the property to Jin Ning? Even if we are willing, the spittle of outsiders will not drown Jin Ning?"

Chen Guogong sneered, "I don't have the face to eat Ah Zhen's dowry, and I feel uneasy if I can eat it. Her mother's property is handed over to her. What do outsiders say?"

Seeing that he was serious, Changsun began to panic, "You also have to think about Zhu'er, don't you? Jin Ning is going to marry after all, and she took away Zhuangzipu and so on, what will Zhu'er do?"

Chen Guogong said sharply: "He is a handsome man, he should rely on his own hands and feet to earn his family business. Who did I rely on back then? Isn't it the same as being a Marquis? If he wants to be rich and powerful, he has to rely on himself to fight for it!"

When Changsun heard the words, he was horrified, "What do you mean, you won't even give him your hereditary position?"

"Look at his ability, if he has been so useless, it will be useless to give him anything."

Changsun gasped, "How can you be so ruthless? He is your son!"

When Chen Guogong heard this, he felt a feeling of being crushed in his heart.

Zhu'er is his son, but Jinning is also his daughter, the daughter born to him by his favorite woman.

For so many years, he has been abandoning it, and even turned a blind eye after taking it back.

"In the account book that you show me every quarter, there is an expense for Jinning to buy clothes and jewelry, but I have been to Lihuayuan just now and found that she doesn't have many clothes. Who did you make those clothes for? "

He didn't intend to question this matter tonight. He has always been a person who is afraid of troubles in the inner house. Many things are easy to live with. However, what Changsun said tonight called him an "eye-opener", and he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. anger.

Changsun looked at him in astonishment, "You went to the Ewha Garden to look at her clothes? You can't trust me? You have been married for more than ten years, but you can't trust me?"

Chen Guogong said with a sullen face, "That's right, I can't trust you, so whether it's Zhuangzi or the shop, you should hand it over as soon as possible."

Changsun staggered two steps and looked at him almost in disbelief. All these years, whether it was Zhen's shop Zhuangzi or everything in the family, he had trusted her with confidence, but now he said he didn't believe her?
"I've worked so hard for this family, and you're saying something like this now?" Mrs. Changsun slowly stood up straight, with a sudden expression on her face, "Chen Shouye, you are so cruel."

Any man who sees these words and this sad and desolate face will have to soften his heart and reflect on himself, but Chen Guogong will not.

He didn't even reflect on Jin Ning, let alone this unsentimental house-filling.

"Within three days, I want to see you hand over all of Ah Zhen's belongings to Jin Ning." After Chen Guogong finished speaking, he walked away.

After leaving the door, he gave a loud order to Junior Three, "Clean up the yard of Yaoting, and I will move to live there in the future."

Yaoting Yard is where his first wife Zhen lived. Since her death, Yaoting Yard has been closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Mrs. Changsun sat down on the chair and said bitterly: "Okay, okay, you'd better not come, but don't think that I will hand over the things. Not only will I not hand over, but I will also have to take the gold. It belongs to Zhu'er." .”

The mother-in-law came in and said softly: "Madam doesn't have to contradict the Duke, so I promise the Duke first. If you hand over these things, the third lady will not be blessed."

Changsun was startled, then nodded, "Yes, I can't do it." A dying person, no matter how much he gave her, wouldn't it be returned to her in the end?

She was in a hurry and forgot the plan.

Jin Ning grew up in Zhuangzi and practiced martial arts all the time. He is half a head taller than the pampered Chen Jinrui.

So the third day brought Chen Jinrui's clothes over, and when Jinning put them on, they were a lot shorter, revealing her white wrists, the skirt hanging up to her stomach, and the blue satin shoes.

Unspeakable embarrassment.

Early the next morning, she dressed like this to meet Chen Guogong.

Chen Guogong was so angry that he shouted at the third grader, "Isn't it a little longer?"

The third grader shrugged, "No."

"Hurry up and go to the clothing store to buy a dress according to her height." Of course, Chen Guogong couldn't let Jin Ning enter the palace dressed like this. Once he walked out, no need to say anything, others would know that he was mean to his daughter.

In the third grade of junior high school, I had to go out for a run in person.

Jin Ning and Chen Guogong were left staring at each other in the main hall.

After sitting for a while, Chen Guogong suddenly asked, "What's the matter with Captain Liang?"

"Have you asked Catcher Liang?" Jin Ning asked back.

"I asked, he said that he has never seen you before, and no family members of Mrs. Zhang have ever come to the Yamen to file a complaint, let alone invited you to the Yamen." But I don't quite believe that Liang Butou dared to do this.

Jin Ning was silent for a while, then slowly raised her head and said: "Mother Zhang's family will definitely not sue the master, unless there is real evidence, but what happened to Mother Zhang, even if her family does not fully know, they will I know a thing or two. Of course, if someone pushes you, thinking that the Duke’s mansion is weak and can be bullied, it’s not surprising that they come to coax some money, but unfortunately, they can instigate Liang Butou to look for me. The prince also went to Langshan, and the reason for it can be known after thinking about it."

Chen Guogong woke up suddenly, "You mean..."

He stopped talking immediately, she didn't know about the Fuzhou case, so she probably wouldn't point it out, but there was a hidden message in her words.

If Liang Butou was not instigated by the Jingzhao Mansion, who would he be working for?
Assuming that he really let Jinning get into the carriage and the carriage went straight to Langshan, does it mean that Langshan and Liang Butou have colluded?

"Who did you tell these words?" Chen Guogong asked immediately.

"Never!" Jinning said flatly.

Chen Guogong's heart was agitated, and there were layers of fog, as if he had opened a small corner, and he could see the truth behind the thick fog.

Jin Ning lowered her head and straightened the short clothes, hiding the fierceness in her eyes.
