Chapter Forty-Four: This Loss Is Settled
Lu Wenlin looked at Lu Qingrong very aggrieved, "Rong'er, it's Uncle I'm sorry for you." ”
Saying that, Lu Wenlin was so aggrieved that he cried, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"It's all useless uncle, the eldest uncle was originally just a seven-rank petty official, because he married your eldest aunt, and then took the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, he was able to become this four-grade Beijing official.
Because of this, the uncle has not been able to raise his head in front of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion all these years, and the uncle has trusted your aunt all these years, but he doesn't want your aunt to be bold enough to use your dowry silver, speaking of which the uncle is really ashamed, it is the uncle who is sorry for you, sorry for your dead father. ”
Lu Qingrong was a little shocked, Lu Wenlin actually cried in front of her, and his voice was very moving.
I don't know if he was crying because he was wronged in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, or because he felt guilty about himself.
"Uncle, don't cry, I know you've done your best."
Lu Wenlin Yi really stopped crying, looked at Lu Qingrong in a daze, and smiled movingly, "Rong'er, the rest of the dowry uncle must get it back for you, I really don't want the uncle to sue the emperor, I don't believe that the people of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion can still be greedy for your dowry?" ”
"Rong'er has thanked Uncle first, since that's the case, then please go back and write a book now."
Lu Qingrong was not polite, and directly followed Lu Wenlin's words.
Lu Wenlin originally just wanted to do what he could, and wanted to win favor in front of Lu Qingrong, but he didn't expect her to really follow her words.
I don't know how to end up this time.
"This, Rong'er, this sue for the emperor is also to pass through the Imperial History Terrace, and not all the twists and turns will be seen by the emperor."
"Did Uncle regret it?"
"No, no, no." Lu Wenlin hurriedly shook his head, "No, the uncle really wants to help you get back the dowry, this matter is indeed not much done by the Marquis of Zhongyong, the uncle is completely on your side, but the emperor's side, the uncle is a soft-spoken person after all." ”
Before Lu Wenlin's words were finished, Lu Qingrong smiled.
"Uncle, this emperor has a lot of opportunities, how can he be embarrassed to use this matter to disturb the emperor, besides, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is a lord's family after all, and the uncle is only a four-rank petty official, even if this is written, it may not be able to reach the emperor's face, maybe the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion will retaliate against you, and the official position of these four products will not be kept."
After Lu Qingrong finished speaking, Lu Wenlin nodded awkwardly.
What Lu Qingrong said was exactly what he thought.
"Uncle, take my dowry to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, after all, it was made by the Du family, if the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion thinks that they don't know that it is my dowry, and only regard it as the filial piety of the Du family, this matter will become your responsibility, uncle."
Lu Wenlin pointed and looked at Lu Qingrong puzzled, "How could this matter become my responsibility?" ”
Lu Qingrong knew that Lu Wenlin didn't think about this, what he was thinking about was not caring about his own affairs, and keeping his official position.
"The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion doesn't know about this at all, so the responsibility becomes the Du family, and the Du family is your wife, so doesn't it become your responsibility, so it becomes a matter for the uncle's family and me."
And herein lies the thorny problem in this matter.
If the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion refuses to admit it, the problem will become a personal grudge between her and the uncle's family.
If she insists on returning the dowry, if the matter gets bigger, Lu Wenlin's official position will not be kept, and she will also have a reputation of revenge, and maybe it will drag down the Xuanguo Mansion.
So after the big trouble, it will definitely not be good for her.
It's not good for anyone.
The final result could only be that she knocked out her teeth and swallowed them in her stomach.
This loyal and brave marquis took advantage of it, but in the end, nothing happened.
It's amazing.
Lu Wenlin was told by Lu Qingrong that he also thought of the key to it, and when he thought of the revenge of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, he trembled with fright.
"Rong'er, what should the uncle do, the uncle has already gone to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion to ask for it, according to the personality of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, he will definitely take revenge on me, when the time comes, my official position will not be guaranteed, and the Lu family will also be discredited, what should I do!"
Lu Wenlin was scared, this is really scared.
He couldn't stop trembling and looked at Lu Qingrong for help.
"Uncle, what are you afraid of, now that my niece has married into the Xuanguo Mansion, she is the wife of the prince, with my support for you, the people of the Loyal and Yonghou Mansion want to harm you, and they have to weigh it."
That's right, his niece is the wife of the prince of the Xuanguo Mansion, why should he be afraid of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?
Lu Wenlin figured it out at once.
"However, after all, my niece's dowry was occupied by the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and I must ask for it back, it depends on whether you are on the side of the eldest aunt or on my side."
Lu Qingrong's words are already very obvious, Lu Wenlin must make a choice now, whether to choose the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion or her niece.
Lu Wenlin was embarrassed, the reason why he was able to achieve today's position over the years was indeed because of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
There is no Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and there is no him today, although Du's mother-in-law is angry, but she took the dowry to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion mostly for her official position.
If you give up the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion directly, I am afraid that you will end up ungrateful.
But if you don't give up the side of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, the Xuanguo Mansion is not easy to mess with, especially Lu Qingrong.
Today he met this niece for the first time, and it was not like the niece he remembered, she was very smart and powerful, and she could see that she was a person who had revenge.
If he really chose the side of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion and didn't help her, I was afraid that she wouldn't let herself go easily.
On one side is the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and on the other side is the Mansion of the Duke of Xuanguo, which is really difficult to choose.
But it is also a good choice, although the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is powerful, it is still much worse than the Xuanguo Mansion.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Wenlin chose to come out.
"Rong'er, Uncle will definitely be completely on your side, this dowry, Uncle will definitely help you come back, even if you fight for this life."
Lu Qingrong naturally wouldn't believe the promise that Lu Wenlin made impulsively.
He won't do it if he works hard, but being able to say this sentence can indeed see Lu Wenlin's choice.
"Qingrong won't let the uncle work hard for me, without the uncle, there would be no Qingrong today, if there is a chance, Qingrong will definitely repay the uncle."
Lu Wenlin looked at Lu Qingrong excitedly, he had done so much, and what he was waiting for was this sentence.
