After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 13 Someone hurts Qianqian

But after Lu Lingxiao left Haitang Court angrily, he immediately went to find the old lady to find out.

But then he thought that it was against his filial piety to "question" his grandmother about such a thing when he was angry.

Fortunately, some things were spread among the servants, and he could find out if he paid a little attention.

It turns out that when my grandfather was still alive, he had let out a lot of usury money. My grandfather was a military general and no one dared to rely on him. He had made money in the early years.

My grandfather enjoyed the benefits and the business grew bigger and bigger.

But loan sharking is very harmful. After the Emperor ascended the throne, his first imperial edict was to ban private loan sharking.

At that time, many people quit quickly, and my grandfather also wanted to quit. However, he loaned too much usury, and it was too late, and as a result, he lost all his money.

In order to make a comeback, my grandfather mortgaged his house, shop, and farm to a bank, borrowed a large sum of money, and partnered with others to make a fortune.

But can salt luck be touched? Not to mention that my grandfather was only a fourth-grade military general. Even if he was a relative of the emperor, he couldn't easily think about salt luck.

As expected, the news leaked.

It was because of his great-grandfather's service to the emperor that he did not lose his official position and was only fined a small amount of money.

But as a result, the Lu family was completely in debt.

After Lu Lingxiao reached the age of proposing marriage, the old lady never thought of finding a well-matched match for him in the capital. When people inquired about the situation of the Lu family, they did not dare to marry their daughter over.

That is to say, the Meng family is far away in Youzhou, and the Lu family has long been reduced to nothing.

So Meng Qianqian didn't lie. It was she who filled the holes of the Lu family and paid off the foreign debts of the Lu family. It was also because of her dowry that the Lu family maintained a decent life.

The servant sighed: "That's just the way it is, young master. In fact, it's not shameful to eat soft food. It's shameful to eat hard food."

Lu Lingxiao said with a cold face: "Why do you talk so much?"

The servant shut up angrily.

"What's your name?"

Lu Lingxiao asked.

This man was sent to him by Manager Liu as his long-term follower, but in just a few days, he was almost angry to death from this slave's words.

The servant said: "Young Master, be careful what you say."

Lu Lingxiao's face darkened: "Are you still lecturing me? I asked you what your name is!"

The servant said aggrievedly: "Shen Yan, the little one is called Shen Yan! The little one talks a lot and gossips, so the uncle gave the little one such a name to keep him alert at all times."

Lu Lingxiao said: "I don't think this name is of any use to you!"

Be cautious about what you want to say but stop.

Lu Lingxiao asked impatiently: "What's wrong?"

Shen Yan said hesitantly: "I have something to report."

Lu Lingxiao: "Say!"

Shen Yan said: "The old lady paid for the materials."

Lu Lingxiao's expression relaxed: "My great-grandmother still loves me."

Shen Yan added: "I didn't buy it for Miss Lin."

"Qianqian! Qianqian!"

Meng Qianqian was halfway through settling the accounts when the old lady walked in in high spirits.

It is true that she is demented, but under Meng Qianqian's care in the past few years, her body and bones have become stronger.

Meng Qianqian put down her account book: "Great-grandmother."

The old lady came to her and looked at the account book in her hand: "What is this book about?"

Meng Qianqian smiled and said: "This is not a story book, it is an account book. I will read the new one tomorrow and tell it to my great-grandmother."

The old lady nodded crazily: "Then you have to remember!"

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Okay."

The old lady showed a successful and evil smile: "Jie Jie~"

Banxia and Aunt Li were amused by the old lady, covering their mouths and snickering aside. After the old lady smiled evilly, she said with a mysterious face: "Qianqian, guess what I bought you!"

"Um…"

"Okay, okay, you can't guess!"

The old lady raised her hand and said, "Bring it in!"

Two servants came in carrying several pieces of colorful material.

Grandma Li took a closer look and said in surprise: "Isn't this... the brocade sent by Buzhuang?"

Miss Lin picked it for the baby in her belly, but how could a child need so much fabric? Everyone could tell that she actually picked it for herself.

She knows how to choose, they are all top quality brocades.

Wearing this kind of expensive material, no one would tell her that she was the wife of General Zhenbei.

"Do you like Qianqian?"

The old lady tilted her head and asked.

Meng Qianqian felt warm in her heart and nodded: "I like it. It was a gift from my great-grandmother. Qianqian also likes it."

The old lady put her hands on her hips and smiled like a little poisonous old lady: "Hoo **** ho~"

Meng Qianqian asked in confusion: "Great-grandmother, where did you get so much money?"

Seven or eight hundred taels is not a small amount.

Old lady: "The coffin itself."

Meng Qianqian: “…”

Maple Courtyard.

Lu Lingxiao had dinner with Lin Wan'er.

"Sorry, my great-grandmother bought the material. I'll give you new ones later."

He said to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er shook her head and gestured in sign language: Only one of those materials was for our children, and the rest were picked for the young lady.

Lu Lingxiao originally felt a little grateful and ashamed for Meng Qianqian's support for the family for many years. After listening to Lin Wan'er's words, he suddenly felt that Meng Qianqian was still not as sensible as Wan'er.

She does have merit in raising the family, but she shouldn't do whatever she wants at home just because of her merit.

Lu Lingxiao held her hand distressedly: "I've made you feel wronged. You always think about her, but she only has herself in her heart. If she could be half as sensible as you, she wouldn't make the family uneasy."

Lin Wan'er gestured: "The young lady is young, the general should be more considerate and don't get angry with her."

Lu Lingxiao frowned: "I don't have to, I will try my best to let her go in the future. It's hard for you to be pregnant, so rest first. I have made a great contribution this time, and your Majesty will be rewarded. When the reward arrives, I will take you to buy materials and give them Buy it for you and your children, and choose more clothes for yourself.”

Lin Wan'er snuggled into his arms and wrote on his palm with her fingers: Wan'er is content to serve the general, Wan'er doesn't ask for anything else.

Lu Lingxiao put his arm around her shoulders: "I will not bring you back to Beijing to make you live a hard life. In addition to the position of a head wife, I will give you the love of husband and wife, glory and wealth that others have."

Begonia Courtyard.

Meng Qianqian played with the old lady all afternoon, and then looked at the accounts in the evening.

The accounts of the house are divided into two accounts, one is the internal account and the other is the external account.

Internal accounts refer to various household expenses, while external accounts refer to the profits and losses of properties such as farms and shops.

Judging from the accounts, every farm shop is profitable, and a lot of money is put into it every year.

And you can imagine where this money comes from.

Meng Qianqian closed the account book: "I didn't expect that it has only been five years, but the dowry I brought has already been spent."

Grandma Li said with heartache: "Yes, there are only ten thousand taels left in total."

Meng Qianqian muttered: "There is something wrong with these accounts. Let's go back and calculate carefully to see how much we can get back. The top priority is to transfer these ten thousand taels as soon as possible."

This is the money she will need to settle down in the future.

But how and where to turn?
