Chapter 281 Another strange opportunity
Hearing the people behind them bringing up this topic, everyone started talking about it again.
"Hey, this is really something!
We didn't pay attention to it before.
Now that the Marquis's mansion has been robbed, the matter has become public.
It turns out that the Marquis' Mansion is just an empty shell, without a single hair on it!
The Marquis, his step-wife, and the two little ones born to his step-wife have been stealing all along!
What they are enjoying are all the dowry of the late wife!"
"Yes! Oh, how many years have they been doing such shameless things?"
"Who says it's not?"
“If you put it that way, they used the dowry of the other person’s former wife before;
What is lost now is the dowry of the late wife;
The remaining few items in the shop were the dowry of the late wife!
Even if Shuntian Prefecture did a good job and caught the thieves and recovered the lost items, they were still the dowry of the late lady and belonged to her daughter!"
Could it be that the Marquis and his concubine, as well as the concubine's bastard child, have been living comfortably for so many years by stealing the late lady's dowry, and now... they have to continue to be supported by the eldest lady?
Oh my, oh my, I didn't realize it until you said it, but now that you've said it, this... how can there be such a shameless person?"
"Haha, shameless! Anyway, the whole family has been enjoying it for so many years, stealing it openly and secretly!"
"you do not say!
This time the marquis's mansion was completely robbed, but they still had the audacity to send a maid on the left and a servant on the right to take turns to pick up the young lady!
Why did you pick up the young lady? Did you want the young lady to get money?
Or let the eldest daughter come forward and ask for money from the outsiders of the Anguo Mansion to support the concubine and the bastard for her scumbag father?
Hey! I've seen shameless people, I've seen shameless people, but the shamelessness I saw today is even more shameless!"
"Who says it's not?..."
Standing near the carriage were some shopkeepers and their assistants, who were there to collect old debts.
Those who gathered behind were just there to watch the fun.
When Ta Yun and the other two stepped out from the crowd, people's unreserved discussions instantly condensed into a strong northwest wind, bringing a chill that penetrated the bones!
Leng Xian's body is cold, but his face is hot!
This is completely tearing off his face!
Leng Xian gritted his teeth and endured the pointing and criticizing of everyone.
When the discussion died down a bit, Leng Xian clasped his hands together again and said, "No matter what, the theft of my Marquis Qinxing's Mansion is also a disaster for the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion!
After all, my daughter Leng Rongyue is the eldest daughter of the Marquis’s Mansion!
As the eldest daughter, she should stay in the mansion at this time, with her grandmother, parents, and siblings, and work together to find a way to help her family get through this difficult time."
"Hehe! Lord, what you said is interesting!
The Marquis Qinxing’s mansion was robbed. Should the eldest daughter stay with her parents?
Excuse me, where is the eldest lady's mother?
The eldest lady's mother that the Marquis mentioned, could it be that he is referring to your mistress?
As for my father, hasn’t the Marquis always been with his concubine and the bastard born from her?
I heard that before, the Marquis had always allowed your concubine and two bastards to bully and abuse the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife!
He seized someone else's mother's dowry, but treated her daughter harshly!
What's the matter? You guys can't make it now, and you remember that I'm the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion?
"My Lord, you are so shameless, so thick-skinned, and so big-mouthed. How dare you say that!"
“This guy is right!
Even if he was his biological father, so what? He still allowed his own daughter to be bullied by his concubines and his illegitimate daughter?
Now he keeps saying that the eldest daughter is his eldest daughter, so what were you doing before?
Are you trying to bring the poor young lady back to help them get out of trouble, and then use threats and bribes to rob the last few shops left by her mother?"
“That’s definitely the case.
If he were really a father, at this moment, he would definitely protect his own daughter behind him, deal with everything by himself, and bear all the difficulties by himself!
If anything goes wrong, he would want to run a thousand miles away to pull back his legitimate daughter who was bullied by his concubine and illegitimate daughter to stand in front of him!
Let your daughter face everything!"
"Hey! Look at the immoral things they did in the past. Even if they do immoral things a few more times... that's nothing new!"
"If you ask me, given their greed and viciousness, let alone the fact that they are still trying their best to get money from that poor young lady;
If he and his mistress really get desperate for money, maybe... they might even kill people for money!"
"Then... isn't that young lady in danger?"
“I see…it’s hanging!
Just think about it, the late wife of Marquis Qinxing was only in her early twenties when she died, how young!
Everything was fine, how come it suddenly disappeared?
Think about it again, after the late wife passed away, was there a penny of her huge dowry left in the hands of her biological daughter?
Marquis Qinxing and his concubine directly swallowed up the late wife's dowry!
They have been enjoying it for so many years!
If the late Madam were still alive, would Marquis Qinxing and his concubine be so unscrupulous in seizing the late Madam's dowry and mistreating her daughter?"
"You mean..."
"I didn't say anything, you figure it out yourself..."
At this time, a young man next to him stroked his chin and said, "I think... there is something strange going on here!
Now, the late madam’s daughter is about to reach marriage age, and the emperor has personally granted her marriage.
When the time comes for the eldest lady to get married, it will be easy for her to be controlled. As the eldest lady's in-laws, the Anguo Mansion will naturally have to come forward to clear out the dowry of the late lady, and then take it with her as the eldest lady's dowry when she gets married.
Back then, the late lady married into the Marquis Qinxing's mansion with a grand wedding, and the dowry list was filed with the government.
Now, the eldest daughter has received an imperial decree to marry, and it is said that the concubine has locked the eldest daughter in the yard, wanting to starve her to death.
In the end, he was rescued and taken away by the two ladies of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion!
The eldest daughter didn't starve to death, and the late wife's dowry definitely didn't add up...
As soon as the eldest daughter was taken away by her in-laws, the entire Marquis Qinxing’s mansion was robbed…
You say, this thief chose the right time to steal. Isn't it great?"
"..."
There was a burst of exclamations and sighs...
