Wu went all the way back to Lu Mansion.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Lu Huaian came in a hurry.

"What news did you hear?"

"Is Fang Shuming determined to ask me to pay back the money?"

Wu, on the other hand, didn't even raise her eyelids and spoke calmly,

"You only care about Yinzi. You don't care about your sister's situation at all."

Lu Huaian was stunned for a moment, and then he spoke naturally,

"Rushuang is the old lady of the Duke's Mansion. She has worked hard all her life and now she is ill."

"The people in their Duke's mansion dare not not serve them well."

"If Fang Shuming doesn't take good care of her, I, as my brother, will naturally not let him go."

Wu smiled contemptuously,

"In any case, Rushuang is in this situation because of you."

"Shouldn't you go and see her yourself?"

How could Lu Huaian withstand Wu's contempt?

He stepped forward quickly, raised his hand and slapped two big mouths on Wu's face.

"How dare you talk to me like this? Are you tired of living?"

"I asked you to go to the Duke's Mansion to find out the news. Can you find out?"

"Don't waste so much nonsense with me, or you won't get any good results."

Wu was beaten until she was dizzy. She gritted her teeth and wished that she and Lu Huaian would die together right now.

But thinking about what Fang Ling said, she endured it.

"It was my fault, I shouldn't have said anything."

With that said, she knelt down as she always did when she admitted her mistakes.

Only then did Lu Huaian calm down.

"Fang Shuming, you really want me to pay back the 210,000 taels of silver."

"And does he have any evidence?"

Wu knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and said the words she had prepared in advance,

"Fang Shuming is not at home."

"I only saw Qing'er here. But Qing'er was also implicated because of the Zhongfu matter and was not welcomed."

"I couldn't get any useful information from her."

After hearing this, Lu Huaian waved his sleeves and said,

"What a waste. You can't handle even a small thing."

After that, he didn't stay in the room and turned around and went out.

No news is good news.

Fang Shuming only dared to send letters to his house.

He didn't even dare to come to ask for the account in person, which showed that he still wanted to lose face.

Since, he cares about face.

Then he himself is a bit shameless and just refuses to admit his fault.

Then Fang Shuming would never want a single copper coin back.

Seeing that he was gone, Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

And subconsciously, he touched the drug in his sleeve pocket.

He became more determined to send Lu Huaian to jail.

Fang Ling saw Wu off and went to her father's study.

"I met my father."

Fang Ling bowed respectfully.

When Fang Shuming saw Fang Ling coming, he probably guessed why she was here.

He asked his daughter to sit down and spoke first,

"Ling'er, are you here to ask for a debt from the Lu family?"

Fang Ling nodded,

"Father, I know you still have room for Lu Huaian."

"If he persists and refuses to pay back the money, do you plan not to pursue the case?"

She knew her father, who always valued friendship and was soft-hearted.

Otherwise, he would not just write a letter to Lu Huaian instead of going to ask for money in person.

And Lu Huaian is a very shameless person.

How could he submit without resorting to extraordinary measures?

It is very possible that he took advantage of his father's weakness and ignored the matter.

My father has always been like this and is not very concerned about money.

But even if his father is generous, he can't take advantage of it in vain, isn't Lu Huaian?

"Cough cough..."

Fang Shuming was aware of his daughter's thoughts and coughed slightly in embarrassment.

"Now that your step-grandmother has suffered a stroke, she has been punished."

"As for Lu Huaian, I naturally hate him."

"But there is no conclusive evidence that he got all the money your step-grandmother sent to her family over the years."

"Even if there are accounts kept by your step-grandmother in private, it is not enough."

"Besides, Lu Huaian is Xinyue and Ruotian's grandfather."

"I don't want to make things too ugly just for money."

"If it doesn't work, just forget about the money."

"From now on, our Duke's residence will never have any contact with the Lu family."

Fang Ling was not surprised when her father said this, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

You know, the money Lu Huaian has in his hands will push his father and brother to the guillotine in the future and add fuel to the fire.

She stood up and gave her father a deep bow.

"Father, Lu Huaian owes our Duke's Palace, and we must get it back. Otherwise, if word spreads, everyone will think that our Duke's Palace is easy to bully."

Fang Shuming's face looked troubled.

"But Ruotian and Xinyue are going to get married in the future."

"If this matter comes to blows, both of their reputations will be completely ruined."

"Their maternal grandfather's family has such a bad reputation. It is estimated that no good family will be willing to marry their daughter to Ruotian in the future."

"And Xinyue will be looked down upon even more when she goes to Prince Gong's Mansion."

After hearing these words, Fang Ling felt even more sour in her heart.

Fang Xinyue and Fang Ruotian, these two would kill their father for their own glory and wealth in the future.

But their father protected them like this.

Fang Ling still clearly remembered that in her previous life, when Fang Xinyue pointed a sharp knife at her chest, she kept saying that her father was an old man.

She said that her father was partial and was not good to her.

But her father is now willing to save her reputation even for more than two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Yes, my father has always been a wonderful person.

Even if he prefers himself and his brother more on weekdays.

But he also loves the children of concubines.

This is my father's pure nature.

However, his father didn't know that Fang Xinyue and Fang Ruotian were not his biological children.

The two of them are just a scourge to the Duke's government.

But she wasn't afraid, she went to add fuel to Lu Manqing's fire.

She will definitely be unable to hold back, and the truth will soon surface.

Fang Ling knew that she couldn't say anything more now.

She didn't want to break her father's heart.

If she continues to argue with her father.

Her father would think that she was a heartless person who didn't even care about the love between sisters and brothers.

You will definitely be disappointed and sad.

Fang Ling didn't say anything more, but bowed respectfully to her father again.

"It's late autumn now. Father, please remember to add some clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Fang Shuming's face was full of relief and he nodded.

Fang Ling turned around and went out.

She was thinking about how to add fuel to Lu Manqing's anger and ask her to take the initiative to contact her concubine.

As soon as he went out, he met Fang Jinhang.

"Brother."

Fang Lingfu bowed.

"Ling'er, this is the dowry list that father asked me to make for you."

Fang Jinhang said and handed the dowry list to Fang Ling.

"Read it first. If you find anything inappropriate or need to add something, just say it."

Fang Ling didn't hesitate, took the order, opened it and read it.

She looked at the items listed on the list and not only included all the dowry left by her mother, but also added a lot to her.

She couldn't help but wet her eyes, raised her eyes to look at her brother, and spoke in a hoarse voice,

"You gave me all the dowry left by your mother?"

"How should you pay for the betrothal gift for your future marriage?"
