The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 239 I have a condition

The previous chapter has already been supplemented with 2000 words, so it is recommended that you go back and read that first before reading this chapter.

"So the thing I treasure is just a worthless junk in your eyes?"

Lu Tingen said nothing.

Ning Yuer continued, "I know that the Marquis has a big family, but don't forget that you took the hairpin from me yesterday and the painting from me today. These are all rare and valuable things.

You always say later, later, when is later?"

Ning Yuer was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for her.

If it were usual, Lu Tingen would definitely humble himself and coax her.

But now, seeing her like this, Lu Tingen just felt annoyed.

"Over the years, the things I've given you are worth more than just a hairpin or a painting.

Leng Shi spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the Marquis's Mansion, but she never talked about it all day long like you do."

"Master Hou?"

When Ning Yuer heard Lu Tingen mention the Leng family, she was suddenly stunned.

Over the years, Lu Tingen seldom mentioned Leng in front of him. Even if he did, he would say that she was dull and boring, and only cared about making money.

Unexpectedly, this is what the Marquis thought in his heart.

"My Lord, do you think I am not as good at making money as Leng? Then why have I endured all these years, living in this dark Yongning Lane, raising children for you?

Has the Marquis forgotten the original agreement?"

"How could I forget?"

As childhood sweethearts who grew up together, Lu Tingen still felt a little sorry for Ning Yuer.

"Alright, alright, stop being so petty with me. The prince's way doesn't work, so I have to try other methods. I'm leaving now. Mother is still waiting for me to find a solution."

Ning Yuer looked up at him and said, "You said you would leave, so what about my paintings?"

"Can your painting be as urgent as your mother's? It's totally unreasonable."

The two eventually parted ways unhappily.

Ning Yuer wiped away her tears, carefully took the painting out of the box, placed it on the table and gently unfolded it.

When it was rolled up, you could only see damage on the top of the painting, but when you really opened it, you discovered that an entire strip of the upper half of the painting was missing, and the stretch of green hills seemed to have been cut in half.

Ning Yuer couldn't hold back any longer, and tears as big as beans rolled down the corners of her eyes.

In the current situation, it would be better to give it to the prince as a favor. At least the painting can play its role.

But now the painting is in tatters, and no matter how valuable it is, it has become a piece of waste paper.

How could Ning Yuer not feel heartbroken?

"Lu Tingen, you bastard!"

Ning Yuer stomped her feet in anger!

Lord Lu had already walked onto the main street at this time, and he had a new plan.

Although the situation just now was not good, Prince Rui said that Lu Xinran could enter their palace.

This means that Ye Xinran has a say in front of King Rui.

Lu Tingen couldn't understand what method this girl used to make the prince look at her differently, but this was a good thing for the Marquis' Mansion.

If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have bothered to do anything else.

The carriage stopped in front of the Marquis's mansion, and Lord Lu got out of the carriage on his own without even asking for help from others.

He walked back to the courtyard in two steps at a time. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Leng Qingyu and Ye Xinran preparing perfume.

Grind various materials and mix them together. Different proportions will produce different flavors when burned.

This is Ye Xinran’s recent pleasure.

Seeing the two people's leisurely appearance, Lu Tingen couldn't help but get angry again.

But this time, he held back.

He did not question how the two of them could still spare the time to make perfume. Instead, he said with a smile, "Have you two had lunch? Why don't you take a break?"

Leng Qingyu said calmly: "I didn't know that the Marquis would come back at this time. Xinran and I have just had lunch. I'll ask the maid to prepare it for you now."

Lu Tingen hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, no."

As he said this, he also sat down at the table.

Seeing that he said no, Leng Qingyu did not ask any more questions and continued to sift the spices carefully with Ye Xinran.

Lord Lu sat there for a long time and even coughed twice, but no one paid any attention to him.

Finally, Lu Tingen couldn't hold it in any longer and had to take the initiative to say, "Um, Xinran!"

Ye Xinran was carefully memorizing the weight of the spices. When she heard Lu Tingen calling her, she was annoyed and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"

Lu Tingen received a cold face, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he continued to ask in a gentle voice: "Are you familiar with King Rui?"

"Not familiar!"

Ye Xinran did not stop what she was doing. While taking notes, she said, "But I am somewhat familiar with the princess of the Rui family!"

"That's great!"

Lu Tingen clapped his hands.

"You have such a relationship, why didn't you tell me earlier."

Ye Xinran finally stood up and looked at Lu Tingen and said, "But the Marquis didn't ask me either?"

"You kid, why are you still calling me Marquis? You should call me dad!"

Lu Tingen seemed to be complaining, but in fact he was doting.

But seeing him like this made Ye Xinran want to vomit.

"Forget it, I'm still not used to it," she said.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't shout."

Lord Lu looked at her and said, "You already know everything about your grandmother. I have tried every possible way these past two days. Now only you can save her!

Since you came back, your grandmother has not really approved of you, but if you can save her this time, she will definitely treat you like the apple of her eye. "

"Whether she admits it or not, I am also a member of the Marquisate. After all, you are my father, and this is an indisputable fact."

Ye Xinran was not moved at all.

"As for whether she agrees or not, I don't think it matters."

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that soft tactics didn’t work, Lu Tingen quickly threatened, “Don’t you know that if we prosper together, we all prosper; if we suffer together, we all suffer together?

If something happens to your grandmother, the reputation of our mansion will be damaged, and your marriage with Zhiyi will probably be affected in the future."

Ye Xinran smiled softly after hearing this, "My Lord, have you forgotten that I'm already married?

The only one who will be affected is Lu Zhiyi!"

Lu Tingen's face looked a little ugly, he forced himself to maintain a smile and looked at Leng Qingyu, "Look at this child's temper, it's exactly the same as yours when you were young.

You and your daughter are connected by heart, so you should try to persuade her.

Nothing can happen to my mother."

"My mother doesn't need to persuade me."

Ye Xinran didn't wait for Leng Qingyu to speak before saying, "I can promise you that I will go to King Rui to plead for the old lady.

But I have a condition!"

"What conditions? As long as it's what you want, Dad will try his best to satisfy you!"

When Lu Tingen heard there was a chance, he immediately became excited.

"You should pass the title to Changqing." Ye Xinran said this calmly.

"what?"

Lu Tingen's eyes widened: "I'm not even dead yet, and he's already thinking about my position!"

Ye Xinran said: "It's not him who's worried about me, it's me!"

"I'm a person who never does anything without any benefit."

Seeing that Lu Tingen didn't say anything, Ye Xinran continued, "Whether it was grandma who did this or not, you and grandma know it best. You can't do it, but now you want me to go to King Rui to plead for mercy.

How can I, a weak woman, impress King Rui?"

"This is all for the good of this family!"

Lu Tingen said shamelessly again.

“I don’t care whether this family is good or not, I just hope that my efforts are not in vain.

In order to ensure the future, I can only feel at ease if Changqing is in charge of this family."

Lu Tingen tried to discuss with Ye Xinran, "But the title is not something I can pass on just because I want to. According to the court regulations, after I die, the title will naturally fall to Changqing. You don't have to worry too much, Dad will love you as much as your mother does."

Ye Xinran didn't understand anything about the court, and Lu Tingen thought he could fool her with just a few words.

Who would have thought that although Ye Xinran didn't understand, she was still stubborn.

"If not, I can't help you with this. Now the words sound nice, but what if the Marquis brings back a concubine's son in the future and lets the concubine inherit the title?

My efforts have been in vain!"

This one sentence revealed Lu Tingen's concerns.

Lu Tingen didn't even refute and was just stunned.

When he came to his senses, he saw Leng Qingyu looking at him.

He smiled awkwardly and said to Leng Qingyu: "Qingyu, look at this child, how can she think like this!

We have been loving each other for many years. Who wouldn’t envy us as this perfect couple? But Xinran actually thought that I would have a mistress!

Isn’t this the most ridiculous thing in the world? "

After saying this, Lord Lu burst into laughter.

He thought Leng Qingyu would laugh at Ye Xinran's random guesses like he did, but who knew Leng Qingyu would still look at him expressionlessly and said, "I think what Xinran said makes some sense. What if there really is a concubine?"

"You do not trust me?"

Lu Tingen was furious. "You don't even believe me about this? Then what's the point of our relationship over the years?"

"My Lord, please don't embarrass my mother!"

Ye Xinran was afraid that Leng Qingyu would not be able to hold back and wanted to bite this scumbag to death, so she said, "My mother puts all her thoughts into making money. What does she know? Even if she knows, I'm afraid she doesn't know as much as I do."

"As the daughter of my mansion, you should help the mansion solve its problems. You have to go for this matter, whether you want to or not!"

Lu Tingen became ruthless.

Ye Xinran was not moved at all. "I will go to the palace, because I have an appointment with the princess to go there every half a month. If I don't go at the agreed time, the princess will come directly to the marquis's mansion to ask for me."

"you……"

Lu Tingen was furious.

If time could be reversed, he would rather have fallen out with Leng Qingyu a few months ago than agree to her going to Yuntong County.

Without this trip to Yuntong County, I would not have recognized Ye Xinran.

If I hadn't recognized Ye Xinran, nothing would have happened now.

Even Qingyu would not become like this.

This Ye Xinran seemed to have come back specifically to defeat him!

"Are you trying to threaten me with the princess of Prince Rui's Mansion?" Lu Tingen said coldly.

Ye Xinran: "No, I'm not threatening you with the princess, I'm threatening you with Prince Rui.

Anyway, if something happens to me, King Rui will definitely seek justice for me!"

"Humph!"

Lu Tingen snorted coldly.

"There is no such a traitor as you in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Someone, tie up this unfilial girl!"

As soon as the voice came out, two servants ran in with hemp ropes in their hands.

"Lu Tingen, you dare!"

Leng Qingyu was also angry.

Lu Tingen sneered. "Why shouldn't I dare? As her father, I have the responsibility to teach her a lesson. I have never heard of an elder who doesn't dare to teach a younger person a lesson!"

Do it! "

Lu Tingen motioned to the two servants.

The servant immediately stepped forward with the hemp rope.

When he was still one meter away from Ye Xinran, Ding Qiao suddenly stood up from behind Ye Xinran and kicked both servants away with just two kicks.

Ding Qiao used clever strength when kicking, which not only lifted the person up but also changed their direction.

As a result, both of them rushed towards Lu Tingen.

There were two "bang" sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and Lu Tingen was already pinned underneath.

"Master Hou, Master Hou!"

The two servants were terrified and struggled to climb up from Lu Tingen.

But the more anxious they were, the more chaotic they became. As soon as one of them stood up, he was pushed back by another one, and in the process he even stepped on Lu Tingen's hand...

Lu Tingen felt like his intestines were about to be squeezed out.

After the two servants stood up, they quickly helped him up.

Lu Tingen pointed at Ye Xinran, his voice trembling, "Okay, okay, you actually dared to lay hands on your father! Unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter!"

"Shut up! If you don't, I'll tear your front teeth out!"

Ding Qiao threatened.

When Lu Tingen heard this, he quickly covered his mouth with his hands and ran away.

He ran to the yard and looked at the familiar plants and trees in the mansion, and suddenly a strange feeling arose.

Is this still his Jing'an Palace?

How come the world has changed so suddenly?

……

After Lu Tingen left, Ye Xinran felt a little unsure, "Mom, if Lu Tingen just left like that, would he go to get reinforcements? If he brings a team to deal with us, Ding Qiao alone may not be a match!"

When Ding Qiao heard this, he immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Master, rest assured. Ding Qiao can fight a hundred people alone and will protect you till death."

Leng Qingyu smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Lu Tingen won't tell anyone about this. He won't bring troops to the mansion."

"Why?" Ye Xinran asked.

"Because it's embarrassing!" Leng Qingyu said, "The dignified Marquis Jing'an was beaten by his own daughter. If this matter gets out, it will be enough for all the major families to laugh for half a year. How dare he say that!"

"That's good!"

Ye Xinran felt relieved and continued to mix her spices.

"I don't know who the Marquis will ask for help this time." She said as she worked.

"But he kept saying that he was thinking about the old lady and asked others to pay.

Why did he back off when he was asked to make some sacrifices? I don't think he is really filial.

It’s just for show.”

Leng Qingyu heard her sarcasm and found it interesting, so he followed her words and said, "He has been an official for many years and always feels that he is powerful and has a strong background.

I think he's going to hit a wall this time.

The Third Prince is a man who is good at protecting himself. How could he possibly offend Prince Rui for him? "
