The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 210 You Won't Protect Her

"Why?"

Lord Lu looked solemn.

Leng Qingyu held the Marquis's hand and said softly, "Marquis, think about it, I have never worn this hairpin in these years. It has been locked in the warehouse. How did it get into the hands of this woman?"

"This……"

Lu Tingen couldn't answer.

Leng Qingyu continued, "The family's wealth has been lost outside, there must be a thief in the family. I now suspect that not only a hairpin is missing from the storeroom, but also other things.

A hairpin is nothing.

But if those valuable antiques and paintings in the warehouse were lost, wouldn’t we suffer a great loss?

That’s why I said this woman can’t leave. If she escapes now, it will be difficult to find her in the vast sea of ​​people.”

"What does Madam mean?" Lu Tingen asked.

Leng Qingyu said: "My suggestion is to take this woman to the government office first and let the government office be responsible for the interrogation.

Then ask someone to go back to the mansion to take inventory of the warehouse and compare it with the dowry list from that year to see what is missing.

Even if she didn't steal these things, they are definitely related to her. I believe the people from the government office will be able to pry her open. "

Ning Yuer turned pale with fear when she heard this. She knelt forward a few steps and kowtowed to Lu Tingen repeatedly, "I am innocent, I am innocent. My Lord, my Lord, I cannot go to the government office, I cannot go to jail."

Lu Tingen had never seen Ning Yuer like this.

They have known each other since they were young, and Ning Yuer has always been as bright as a star in the sky.

When had she ever looked so miserable?

Seeing Lu Tingen hesitating, Ning Yuer thought that Lu Tingen didn't want to care about her anymore for the sake of the overall situation.

She said quickly, "My Lord, I have a child who is about to take the exam. If I go to jail, the child's future will be ruined!

My son is innocent, he is the best child in the world, I cannot let him suffer any injustice, Lord!"

Ning Yuer was crying and Lu Tingen's heart was broken.

He turned around and looked at Leng Qingyu, unable to hide the resentment on his face.

It's just for a hairpin, why are you so aggressive!

Leng Qingyu received his gaze, but was not moved at all.

She had a gentle smile on her face, but she was secretly mocking in her heart:

It looks like he is heartbroken.

I’m afraid that more painful days are still to come.

Lu Tingen's mind was spinning rapidly. At this moment, he absolutely could not let Yu'er go to the yamen, but he had to give an explanation to Leng Qingyu.

Just when he was in a dilemma, the old lady of the Lu family also came over.

"What are you doing? This is a pure Buddhist place. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Buddha?

Madam Sun, take someone to ask all the pilgrims to leave."

At Madam Lu's order, the Lu family's servants began to drive people away.

Seeing this, the people who were watching the fun had to leave temporarily.

However, some curious people did not go far, but kept staring at this side, wanting to know the final result.

In order to see more clearly, some people even climbed up the big tree outside the courtyard wall.

After driving away the others, Madam Lu finally spoke:

"Leng, you are becoming more and more unreasonable now."

Before coming, she had heard what had happened here from the maid, so she hurried over to put out the fire.

Leng couldn't let her son and Yu'er see through their relationship, so she had no choice but to step in as the mother-in-law to suppress it.

"You are here to argue with a common woman over a hairpin. Where can you put the face of our mansion?"

Leng Qingyu was not polite and replied directly: "You have earned your own face, so you should put it where it belongs."

Old Madam Lu was choked by these words. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She felt so distressed when she saw Ning Yuer kneeling on the ground.

Before she could speak again, Ye Xinran said, "Grandma, don't worry. Look, the officials are here. The government will handle the matter here."

Madam Lu looked up and saw several officers coming towards her.

Seeing Lord Lu and Madam Lu, the officials hurriedly saluted.

Madam Lu's eyes turned red with anger, and she yelled at Ye Xinran, "Who told you to report it to the police?"

Ye Xinran looked innocent, "Of course I have to report to the police if I lose something!

My mother was right. When you see a mouse in the house, there may already be a nest of mice in the house.

Similarly, when you discover that a hairpin is missing, the warehouse may have been almost emptied.

Grandma, I will have a share of these dowries in the future, so of course I will care about them!"

"Nonsense!"

Old Madam Lu knocked her cane on the ground, making a loud bang.

"You don't have to wrongly accuse others. I was the one who took the hairpin out!"

She actually took the responsibility.

Leng Qingyu was not surprised.

She only asked, "Mother, why did you take my dowry? If others knew about this, they would laugh at our mansion behind our backs."

Madam Lu felt embarrassed to admit this, but she still said angrily, "You didn't come back last month, so we can't live like this in our mansion?

You promised to give the second and third sons their monthly wages, so of course they have to come from your storehouse. I just took out a few things from it.

This is our own family matter, why do you involve an innocent woman? "

When several officers saw this situation, they all stared in amazement.

Judging from what Mrs. Lu meant, she wanted them to take the person away.

But it seems that Madam Lu doesn't want to take the person away.

What should I do now?

The chief of the police looked at Lu Tingen and asked for his opinion.

Lu Tingen had no choice but to speak, "Thank you for your hard work, our family will handle this matter."

Leng Qingyu stopped him and said, "Ting En, I still feel it's not right."

"What's wrong again?"

Lu Tingen wanted to ask, "Can't you go home and tell me if there's anything wrong?"

But facing so many people, he had to maintain his image and couldn't say such words to Leng Qingyu.

Leng Qingyu said: "Mother said to give the things in my storeroom to the second and third wives,

But this woman just said that this hairpin was a token of love given to her by her man! The timing is totally wrong.

Mother must have remembered it wrongly! She didn’t take this hairpin out!”

"I remembered it wrongly, I remembered it wrongly!"

Ning Yuer, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly spoke up, "I bought this hairpin on the street a few days ago. It's not the one my husband gave me."

"You keep changing like this, there must be something wrong."

Leng Qingyu finished speaking and turned to look at Lu Tingen:

"Ting En, I think we should send him to the government for trial!

At least let her explain where she bought the hairpin and when she bought it. If everything matches, it means she is not lying.

Tin En, you don't want to protect her, do you? "
