Chapter 613 Difficult Husband and Difficult Wife (27)
Over there, Lu Haoran was already busy with the bandits and the whereabouts of the large amount of dowry. When he learned that something had happened to Liao Keren, he almost burst into curses.
When Lu Haoran arrived at the cell, Liao Keren was already wearing prisoner's clothes, looking so shabby that Lu Haoran could hardly recognize her.
Liao Keren felt wronged. She had never thought that one day she would be imprisoned in prison.
And it was because of theft. Theft is not a capital crime and is not considered a felony, so he was not held in solitary confinement. Instead, he was held together with a group of people who had committed minor crimes.
Even men and women were not distinguished. When they were pushed into the cell, those dirty men who looked like beggars took advantage of the chaos to rape her...
Liao Keren didn't dare to think about that scene. She only knew that her body was sore and there were many pinch marks on it.
Lu Haoran felt so distressed when he saw her expression: "Don't cry, I'll take you away right now."
After saying this, he became very angry with the jailer. What could the jailer do? How did he know that this ordinary woman had a relationship with the prince?
But things are not so easy now: "Sir, a bunch of stolen goods were found in public from this... lady's house. Although they have been returned now, they produced a list, accusing her of stealing a box of dowry."
"We have only recovered part of the things now. We require her to pay back the rest, or she will spend the rest of her life in jail."
Lu Haoran's face turned pale: "These things are clearly..."
Lu Haoran choked, because he couldn't really tell the origin of these things, because some of them were stolen by him, and some of them were given to his mother by others when she came to beg for money.
How can you say these?
If they tell anyone, how will the Pingyang Marquisate put their face?
"How much is still missing? How much silver do you need?" Lu Haoran could only ask with gritted teeth.
Soon Lu Haoran got a list, which recorded every item of jewelry and the value of each item was also written down.
What this meant was that if the item couldn't be found, compensation would be paid according to the price. Lu Haoran roughly calculated the amount and found it was as high as 20,000 taels. He was so angry that he started shaking.
He couldn't help but yell at Liao Keren: "Stupid, who told you to provoke her? What do you want to do?"
After following Lu Haoran for so many years, this was the first time that Liao Keren was yelled at. Her eyes turned red with grievance.
"Brother Hao, I was wrong. I didn't know. I didn't know those things belonged to her. Otherwise, why would I wear them outside?"
"Brother Hao, Junsheng still needs me, I can't stay here."
Lu Haoran was furious. If he really got that batch of dowry, the twenty thousand taels would be just a matter of words.
But now, where did he get 20,000 taels?
I could only leave Liao Keren here and go back to his father for help.
"Twenty thousand taels? Don't you know what the situation is at home? Forget twenty thousand taels, there's not even ten thousand taels. Since she's your mother's niece, let her figure it out herself."
Mother Lu had no choice. Although she was in charge of the family's finances, she could only spend a certain amount from the account every month.
"Hao'er, those things were originally given by the princess, how can this be considered stealing? Go find that bitch and ask her to stop suing and say it was a misunderstanding, see if that works?"
……
After standing in the sun for an hour, Lu Haoran's cheeks were red from the sun. He couldn't help but yell at Liu Su who was picking flowers in the garden: "What's wrong with Xu Jinyi? It's been an hour, why hasn't she come out yet?"
Liusu is also having a hard time. Although she has not been punished to kneel or do hard labor recently, she still has to walk around the garden every day.
She had become much darker due to the tanning. Not only was her skin darker, but she was no longer a personal maid and she no longer had the whitening skin cream that Xu Jinyi gave her every month.
He looked dark and ugly, with dry and yellow hair. After all, the food was no longer as good as before.
"Ever since the incident at the General's Mansion, the young lady's personality has been unstable. I'm afraid she has annoyed the prince, so she deliberately made you wait."
"Prince, are you here for my indenture? Are you here to redeem me?" Liusu asked.
Before Lu Haoran could answer, a stunningly beautiful woman in a red dress walked slowly towards him with lotus steps.
Her gorgeous red lips were slightly raised, and the gold hairpin on her head made her look more lively. There was a red flower painted on her forehead, and with her bright eyes, she looked like a seductive fairy.
As midsummer had arrived, the thin dress could not hide her graceful figure at all, and people wanted to tear her dress into pieces.
Lu Haoran didn't expect that after not seeing her for more than a month, she had become so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Under the sunlight, her snow-white skin was dazzlingly white, and she looked like a fairy that had fallen into the human world.
Lu Haoran's expression was filled with shock and regret, his heart beating violently. Thinking that he now had nothing to do with the woman in front of him, his chest ached.
Di Zisheng's face was filled with anger as he shouted at Lu Haoran.
Xu Jinyi touched his body soothingly: "Be good, Goudan."
The voice was gentle and pleasant, which made Lu Haoran's anger disappear without a trace.
"Xiao Jin, I heard about what happened to you. How have you been lately?"
Xu Jinyi is not used to standing in the sun and being tortured. Although her skin will not get tanned, it is still very hot.
He walked to the pavilion and sat down. Liuli also brought an ice bucket and fanned Xu Jinyi.
"Prince Lu came here just to see how I was doing?" The rocking chair was very comfortable, and Xu Jinyi simply hugged Di Zisheng and half-lay down.
As the chair began to shake, so did...
Di Zisheng's heart sank, and then he unceremoniously pressed his small body on the two soft lumps, blocking Lu Haoran's disgusting sight.
Xu Jinyi knew that he was jealous, but she let him be.
Lu Haoran looked concerned: "Xiao Jin, I'm just concerned about you. I heard that the bandits robbed all your dowry, and the general's mansion is in this situation. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly."
"I still say the same thing. As long as you are willing, my position as your legal wife will always be reserved for you, and the door of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion will always be open for you."
Xu Jinyi nonchalantly twirled her hair with her index finger, her expression cold: "My manor was not robbed in the past two days. Is it too late for Lord Lu to show his concern?"
Lu Haoran's face flashed with embarrassment: "Xiao Jin, I've been too busy recently. I was thinking about doing my best to find the dowry for you, so I didn't come to see you the first time. Are you angry?"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault that I couldn't get the dowry back for you."
Xu Jinyi nodded: "It's really useless. You can't even find any trace of such a large amount of dowry."
Lu Haoran's face twisted for a moment, then returned to normal and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Jin, I know you are angry at me for being cowardly and not protecting you and standing by your side, but I am here to apologize sincerely."
