After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

Feng Tingjing's face turned pale after hearing what she said. It's not that he didn't suspect Lu Minjing, but he was troubled by the lack of solid evidence.

In his heart, Lu Minjing has always been a gentle, virtuous and well-behaved woman, and he never thought that she would do anything out of line.

Feng Qiongzhu continued, "Then did you know that Lu Minjing has a nephew who opened five or six shops in Cangzhou? Among them is a restaurant called Lu's Yipinxiang."

Feng Tingjing was not unfamiliar with the name Lu's Yipinxiang.

He had visited that restaurant many times with his friends. The business was booming and it had an excellent reputation.

When this name was linked to Lu Minjing's nephew, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He asked doubtfully, "You mean, that restaurant is related to Lu Minjing's nephew?"

The Lu family doesn't have any decent assets, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen to the point of relying on the Feng family for support.

Feng Qiongzhu glanced at him and said, "It seems that you still don't want to believe it. That restaurant is indeed owned by Lu Minjing's nephew. He is a rich man now. He has been squandering money in the brothel for most of the month. If you don't believe it, you can ask Li Mei'er. That Mr. Lu spent money like water just to make a beautiful woman smile."

After that, she pulled out a property deed from the box next to her and handed it to Feng Tingjing: "Lu's Yipinxiang shop was my mother's dowry shop, but now it has become the property of the Lu family. Lord Feng, how do you think this should be explained?"

Feng Tingjing took the house deed and compared it carefully with the dowry list, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

He muttered to himself: "How...how is this possible?"

"The facts are before our eyes, what is impossible?" Feng Qiongzhu sneered, "Lu Minjing is so bold that she dared to deceive Lord Feng like this."

Feng Tingjing's eyes were filled with anger, and he stared at Feng Qiongzhu fiercely: "You don't have to sow discord here."

Feng Qiongzhu was unmoved and said calmly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and find out the truth yourself. But you should know that the two most powerful women in the backyard are both surnamed Lu. I'm afraid that you, the master of Feng Mansion, are just a decoration."

Feng Tingjing was speechless by her words. He stood up suddenly and left Feng Qiongzhu's yard angrily with a few servants.

Seeing him leave, Feng Qiongzhu turned around and told the guards of Prince Duan’s mansion nearby, “Go and bring Lu Minjing’s nephew to see me in the name of the Crown Prince.”

After that, she turned to the person next to her and asked, "By the way, her nephew's name is...?"

"Miss, the Lu family has only one descendant, and his name is Lu Qiyuan." The shopkeeper beside her responded quickly.

Feng Qiongzhu nodded and said to the guards, "Did you hear that? Bring Lu Qiyuan here. If he doesn't obey, use necessary means. Don't worry too much."

"Yes, sir." Several guards immediately took the order and left.

Feng Tingjing originally wanted to go directly to Nianciyuan to question Lu Minjing, but in the end he went to Madam Feng's residence.

When the maid at the door saw Feng Tingjing coming, she bowed and said, "Master, you are finally here. The old lady has suffered a lot today."

Feng Tingjing glanced at her calmly and said, "If mother had followed my instructions and recuperated, how could she have suffered?"

When the old woman heard this, her face froze and she dared not say anything more.

Feng Tingjing walked into the room and saw the old lady lying on the bed, her face pale, obviously very ill.

He felt guilty and walked to the bedside and asked with concern: "Mom, how do you feel?"

The gatekeeper followed him and said, "Master, the eldest lady came to the old lady's place today, and the old lady has been lying in bed since then."

Another old maid came over and interrupted her: "Master, the eldest lady did come to visit the old lady today, and she also brought bird's nest. The old lady fell asleep after eating the bird's nest, and just woke up now."

After saying this, she glared at the old woman guarding the gate.

When Feng Tingjing heard that Feng Qiongzhu could also send bird's nests, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam An."

"Master, what are you talking about? I have been serving the old lady for almost thirty years. This is what I should do."

Feng Tingjing waved his hand to signal them to leave, and then ordered the butler to guard the door and not let anyone disturb them.

Nanny An grabbed the gatekeeper and scolded her in a low voice, "Do you like to show off your cleverness in front of the master? Don't you see what the situation is now? What is the status of the eldest lady now? Even the master can't do anything about her, what else do you want? Do you think your life is too long?"

The old woman was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly begged for mercy from Nanny An, "Nanny, please forgive me. I know I was wrong and I will never dare to talk nonsense again."

Nanny An sneered, "Next time? I'm afraid you'll lose your life next time. If you want to live, watch your mouth."

"Yes, yes, I remember it." The old woman replied with lingering fear.

Feng Tingjing in the room looked at the still somewhat weak old lady and said, "Mother, I have something to ask you."

The old lady slowly opened her eyes, glanced at him, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"When Feng Qiongzhu checked the accounts, she found that there was a mismatch of 100,000 taels of silver in the account."

After saying this, he observed the old lady's reaction calmly.

The old lady's heart tightened when she knew that Lu Minjing had moved money to her parents' home.

Lu Minjing is her niece, and the only child in the Lu family, so she has always turned a blind eye to her.

But she didn't expect that Lu Minjing would be so bold as to quietly embezzle 100,000 taels of silver.

She thought about it, looked at Feng Tingjing and said, "Do you have any evidence?"

Feng Tingjing saw his mother asking him for evidence so calmly, and he already understood about 70% of the situation.

My mother must know that Lu Minjing was moving money to her parents' home.

After all, they all have the surname Lu and are family.

Feng Tingjing's heart turned cold. With a bit of reluctance, he asked in a low voice, "Mother, do you really know nothing about what Lu Minjing did?"

The old lady's eyebrows twitched. She knew that her son's words revealed his suspicion of her, which made her feel inexplicably frightened.

She didn't want to create any rift between herself and her only son.

She held Feng Tingjing's hand tightly, "Jing'er, you are my only support. We have been dependent on each other for so many years. Although the Lu family is my mother's family, in my heart, how can it be compared with you?"

Feng Tingjing said angrily, "But Feng Qiongzhu has already found out that Lu Minjing actually embezzled nearly 100,000 taels of silver from the account! 100,000 taels, how dare she? What's even more infuriating is that Lu Qiyuan actually owns several shops and a large house. Even the famous Lu's Yipinxiang in Cangzhou is his property. The shop was originally Yi Zhirou's dowry, and later it was transferred to Lu Qiyuan's name. These are all irrefutable evidence. And that Lu Qiyuan once squandered a lot of money in a brothel. Who doesn't know the family background of the Lu family? How could they have so much money to set up a family business?"
