Chapter 203 Disappointment and Despair
Zhongshun, Qiugui, housekeeper Lu and Peng Lu hurried to Zhongshun's house.
The noisy footsteps startled Leng Xian who was in the room.
Leng Xian was just lying on the bed in the room. He felt like his heart was on fire at the moment, so how could he really sleep?
When he heard footsteps, Leng Xian's heart skipped a beat. He thought, this must be Qiu Gui who found Leng Rongyue, and Zhongshun brought Leng Rongyue to see him.
Leng Xian threw back the quilt and forced himself to sit up.
He even has to put on the demeanor of a marquis and a father in front of his eldest daughter!
The door was opened, and Zhongshun saw the Marquis sitting beside the bed, and hurried forward to greet him, "My humble servant greets the Marquis."
Qiu Gui, Steward Lu, and Peng Lu, who followed Zhong Shun in, also came forward to greet him.
Leng Xian seemed to ignore the people in front of him, his eyes were always looking behind the four people.
However, apart from these four people, no one else came in.
Leng Xian couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Qiu Gui directly, "Where's the young lady? Where is the young lady?
Is she outside the house?
Why don’t you come in yet?
Call her in!"
The small room, which was only the size of a palm, seemed even more crowded and depressing with four more people standing in it.
Besides, the people standing here are not the ones he wants to see.
Leng Xian couldn't help but get angry.
Qiu Gui quickly reported: "I am here to tell you, Lord, that the eldest lady... the eldest lady has not returned."
"What? What happened?
Such a big thing happened in the mansion, and I, as her father, sent people to call her back, but she dared not to obey and not come back? "
Leng Xian roared angrily.
"To answer your question, my Lord, it's not that the eldest lady is unwilling to come back, it's... because... because the eldest lady is not in the Duke's Mansion at all.
"What did you say?
She is not in the Duke's Mansion, where else could she be?
Wasn't she taken to the Duke's Mansion yesterday?" Leng Xian asked.
"In reply to the Marquis, the eldest lady was taken to the Duke's Mansion yesterday.
But early this morning, the old lady and two ladies of the Duke's Mansion accompanied the eldest daughter to the manor outside the capital to relax and have fun."
"What?" Leng Xian almost fainted after hearing Qiu Gui's words.
This...what should I do?
Leng Xian was anxious to find Leng Rongyue back. First, he was thinking about how to use Leng Rongyue to report to the authorities on behalf of the Marquis of Qinxing Mansion, so that he could borrow the power of the Duke of Anguo Mansion and the power of the emperor to help him recover the property in the mansion;
He also had to make Leng Rongyue promise that after the property was recovered, it would be returned to him.
The second is something he is too embarrassed to talk about.
He wanted Leng Rongyue to step in and either borrow the financial resources from the Anguo Mansion or, after reporting to the authorities, use the income from the land and shops under Fu Baozhen's name to continue to cover the daily expenses for the Qinxing Marquis Mansion.
But now, Leng Rongyue is not in the Duke's Mansion, she is not in the capital at all!
What should the Hou Mansion do next? What should it do?
He, as a father, was getting extremely anxious, while Leng Rongyue, the eldest daughter, went to the farm to play leisurely!
The more Leng Xian thought about it, the more anxious he became, and the angrier he became, he was so angry that he gnashed his teeth!
"This rebellious girl! Rebellious girl!
Why... why can't she just share the worries of the Marquis Qinxing's family and her father, this Marquis, and fulfill her duty when she is needed!
What does this lord want with such a rebellious girl? "
Hearing the unreasonable roar of Qinxing Hou Leng Xian, Lu Jie'en just raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Leng Xian with disdain.
Leng Xian, at this point in time, still has the nerve to open his mouth and curse the eldest lady. What right does he have?
How has the eldest lady been living in this mansion all this time? As her father, does he really not know?
Her biological mother's huge dowry is controlled by you, who is her biological father but not as good as her stepfather, and her vicious stepmother Yin. The eldest daughter has always been submissive, silent, and never fought or competed.
People have been so tolerant, how else can you ask them to share your worries?
How else can we expect others to fulfill their duties?
Go and sell myself for silver so that I can continue to provide for your enjoyment?
Facing such a cold Qinxinghou, Lu Jie'en felt really disgusted.
He lamented for the late Lord!
The present-day Marquis Qinxing is of this character;
And his only son, although not even ten years old, can be seen to be a spoiled second-generation rich kid, a scoundrel who is bad from the root and is destined to never achieve anything great.
No wonder the emperor refused to make him the prince of the marquisate.
Without a prince, there is no heir in the Marquis's Mansion.
Perhaps, this is the limit of the title that the old marquis has earned.
How could the young lady not feel resentful when they treated her like that before?
Next year, when the eldest daughter comes of age and marries into Prince Yu's mansion, is it possible that she would care about this ruthless and cold-blooded father and that vicious and cruel stepmother?
Lu Jien secretly shook his head and said to the late Marquis in his heart: "My Lord, I'm afraid that the title of Marquis and this Marquisate you have earned will be... I'm afraid that the inheritance will be cut off!
Lu Jie'en secretly complained in his heart.
Mr. Peng Lu, the accountant standing next to him, looked at the scene in front of him and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
