Chapter 14: Benefits and Harms
Second Master Xu clenched his fists, he had long been accustomed to his mother's neglect and coldness, and he didn't feel anything, but he was a little more determined in his heart to talk about a deal with Zhu Yuan.
What relatives, these people don't regard their second room as relatives.
To be more precise, it's just to raise them as cats and dogs, anyway, there is no shortage of this bite of food at home, and they are raised when they are not in use, and they are pushed out to block when they are used, which is also a use.
He pursed his lips and looked at his mother with a stunned look, his eyes as worried and uneasy as possible: "Mother, son...... My son was having dinner at Fengle House today......."
Mrs. Xu frowned, she was not young, but she was still so shrunken in front of her, she was not even as good as a child, which made her impatient, and thought that her son was causing some trouble outside, and said lightly: "What is there to find your eldest brother, these things will also be troubled by the elders, let us worry about you?!" ”
Second Master Xu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, lowered his head and blushed, shook his head and glanced at Mrs. Xu: "No, mother, you let these people retreat first....... My son really has something urgent to tell you. ”
Emergency? Mrs. Xu glanced at him with a smile, weighed for a moment, and finally let the people below withdraw, and then said lazily: "Say, what is it that makes you come over in such a hurry." ”
"My son is in Fengle Building, and I saw someone from the Lu family today!" Second Master Xu squinted his eyes and made up his mind, and said the most critical point in one breath, and was satisfied to see Mrs. Xu with a shocked face.
It turned out that his mother would have other emotions in addition to disgust in front of him, and the second master Xu felt sarcastic in his heart, and slowly pulled the corners of his mouth.
Old Mrs. Xu was really shocked, she didn't care about anything beside her, she looked at Second Master Xu with wide eyes and asked sharply, "Really?!" You read that right?! Who is from the Lu family, have you seen it!? ”
Fengle Building is Zhu Yuan's industry, and at this time, people from the Lu family appeared in Fengle Building?
On the day of the Spring Breeze Banquet, they followed behind Zhu Yuan's carriage, and indeed found that the people from Xingping Wangfu had stopped Zhu Yuan's carriage to ask for the account book.
Of course, they knew that it couldn't be Princess Xingping's people, but those people were not the same faces as the secret outposts that the Lu family left in the capital before, and they had never figured out the identities of those people, and they were still tracking.
If Second Master Xu really saw someone from the Lu family who was not supposed to be in the capital in Fengle Building.......
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Second Master Xu and couldn't help but ask repeatedly: "Do you know that person?!" ”
Second Master Xu nodded, and said with certainty: "My son is not so bad that he can't even recognize someone, that person is indeed Lu Guangping's henchman, called Youer." I had seen it before, and I confirmed that he had left the capital, but I didn't expect it to come back now. ”
Your!
Mrs. Xu no longer believes in it.
She gasped.
Your originally accompanied Lu Guangping back to Yunnan, at this juncture, why did he appear in the capital for nothing? It must be for the sake of the ledger.
It is not a way to drag on the affairs of Yunnan for a long time, and the Lu family also urgently needs this account book, so that they can hold it in their hands and force these people who have benefited from them in the capital to compromise.
But the problem is that this matter can't be easily solved now, where is it so simple, Emperor Jiaping is now eager to send twelve edicts to force the British to put down the chaos quickly.
If the account book was in the hands of the Lu family, then the Xu family would be completely passive.
She glanced at her second son, took a breath and asked him, "Did he make trouble when he went to Fengle Building?" ”
"Nope." Second Master Xu shook his head, his face was a little dazed and a little innocent: "I felt wrong when I saw your......
Mrs. Xu herself felt that something was wrong.
The eldest son also said before that the secret sentinels left by the Lu family in the capital stared at Zhu Yuan like flies staring at meat, which means that the people of the Lu family were sure that the account book was in Zhu Yuan's hands......
Second Master Xu followed and said: "You don't know, I think it's strange, so I secretly follow them, but they are very vigilant...... Later, I heard that something had been lost in Fengle Building, so I didn't dare to follow ........"
Lost something in Fengle Building?!
Old Madam Xu could no longer maintain her apparent composure, and her mind flew through the news she had received these days.
Could it be that the last time Zhu Yuan was stopped after the Spring Breeze Banquet, it was someone from the Lu family? Did they get some news that the ledger was actually in Fengle Building? That's why I went to Fengle Building......
If you say that, the account book will definitely fall into the hands of the Lu family.
Your Na is a ruthless character, he got this thing, and he must be rushing back to Yunnan non-stop.
At that time, won't the British government fall into the disadvantage and be controlled by the Lu family?
Mrs. Xu didn't care about anything else, nodded at Second Master Xu carelessly, then sent Second Master Xu away, and hurriedly asked people to invite the prince back.
Second Master Xu is not surprised, anyway, he has never been able to interfere in family affairs, and he does not expect to be able to interfere.
When he went out, Second Master Xu stood under the eaves, thinking about the deal he had negotiated with Zhu Yuan, and he didn't move for a long time.
I hope Miss Zhu can really talk to the talk.
Xu Zhaohai was in a hurry and was recruited back by his mother, but he didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and when he entered Mrs. Xu's house, he poured a sip of tea: "Mother called me back, what's the matter?" ”
He was busy, Zhu Yuan didn't know what was going on, all the people in the family went to Fengle Building today, and he was about to ask someone to ask for clarification, who knew that someone would come to the house.
Mrs. Xu got straight to the point and said directly: "We have already fallen behind." ”
What the?
Xu Zhaohai sighed, he didn't know what Mrs. Xu meant for a while, but after a while, he reacted, opened his eyes and asked, "You mean, the account book was taken away?!" ”
How so? He stared at it, but he didn't see anything abnormal in the Zhu family!
Zhu Yuanna is better than anyone else, if someone really got something from her, no matter whether the thing was useful in the first place or not, she would definitely be suspicious, how could it be so quiet?
Mrs. Xu snorted, a little impatient, and told Xu Zhaohai the news that Second Master Xu heard back, and said very unhappily: "The Lu family said at first that they asked us to help find it, and later said that everyone was communicating with each other, but now even your have been sent to the capital, this is a fool to play our family!" If this ledger falls into their hands and returns to the Lu family, your father will not be a human being inside and out! ”
