NOVEL WEB Chapter 37 Mu Lingyue's Greatest Sorrow
He Wensheng's face turned pale in an instant. He had heard Mu Ziqian say before that Shen Qing had some skills and was not very good at it, but she was more than capable of abusing him.
He Wensheng subconsciously took two steps back, but Shen Qing forcibly grabbed him by the collar. Then he pointed at a maid from the He family and forced He Wensheng to go to the main hall with him.
Today she wanted to see how the He family explained it.
When Shen Qing came over, the main hall of the He family was in chaos.
The fourth son of the He family, wearing a tan-colored brocade robe, slumped on the ground without any image, his face was pale, and there was blood oozing from his right leg.
Butler Yu stood three steps in front of Lu Yan, smiling with a cold sweat on his face. He was shouting crazily in his heart, why didn't He Shilang come back? He really couldn't hold it anymore!
Shen Qing casually threw He Wensheng beside Fourth Young Master He, and then sat down next to Lu Yan. She greeted him naturally, "Young Master Lu is here too. I wonder if some careless member of the He family offended you." ?”
Lu Yan glanced at the Fourth Young Master He on the ground, and then looked at the bruise on the back of his hand, "Well, it's him. Last night he wandered around the flower house and got dizzy, and today he accidentally bumped into my carriage. Waiting for Mr. He Come back and ask him to give you some compensation no matter what."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Shen Qing, "Where is Miss Shen? Why is she so angry?"
The person calling was Miss Shen, not the Young Madam.
Shen Qing sneered and looked at He Wensheng, who was also lying on the ground. "I saw this scumbag. I felt unhappy and wanted to overthrow the entire palace of the Vice Minister."
Butler Yu: "..."
Why did you provoke such two ancestors!
As soon as Shilang He's carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, the guard at the gate ran over in a panic, "Master, something big has happened! The two young masters have provoked Prince Lu and the young lady of Yanglinghou Mansion, and now the main hall has become a mess. Now, I’m just waiting for you to come back and take charge of the situation!”
Shilang He was stunned and asked the guard to briefly explain the specific situation while jogging towards the main hall.
When Minister He ran to the main hall, he saw two unsatisfactory sons leaning against each other in the corner. Lu Yan and Shen Qing, who were sitting at the top, both looked unhappy. When they saw him coming back, they both looked at him carefully. .
Minister He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiled at the two of them, and said, "Prince Lu, Young Madam, I wonder why you two came here at the same time?"
On the way here, the guard had already told the whole story to Shilang He. Shilang He immediately felt dizzy, but he still pretended to be completely unaware.
Lu Yan looked at Shen Qing and asked who could speak first.
"Master Lu, let's talk first. The matter involves too much and I can't make the decision alone. I have already sent someone to invite my father, and he should be on his way now."
Hearing this, Minister He was immediately shocked. Marquis Yangling was coming too?
If this is the case, I am afraid that what happened today will not be good no matter what.
Shen Qing had already spoken, and Lu Yan began to talk about today's events, "Shilang He, today your fourth son came out of the Flower House, drove fast, and collided with my son who happened to be coming out of Ruyi Lane. Not only the carriage was damaged, but also my son was injured. I wonder how Mr. He is going to deal with this?"
After finishing speaking, he raised the bruised back of his hand in front of Minister He. The red mark on his fair skin was very eye-catching.
He Shilang was startled, and then turned to look at his youngest son, whose clothes were stained red with blood. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he still took the responsibility very politely, "It's the child's blind eyes who bumped into the prince, but also Please forgive me, Your Majesty. In addition, please rest assured that the cost of repairing the carriage and the Crown Prince’s medical expenses will be paid to the Crown Prince’s house.”
He Shilang felt that his attitude was sincere enough, and Lu Yan should not refuse, but Lu Yan waved his hand without thinking, "No need to go to such trouble, Lize has already assessed the damage to the carriage just now The situation is that as we are both officials of Da Chu, I will not be embarrassed by He Shilang. Let’s just consider it as 800 taels. As for my son’s medical expenses, 500 taels are enough. Plus nutritional expenses and frightening expenses, the total is 1,800 taels. It’s a hundred taels, so I don’t need to bother you, Minister He, to make an extra trip, just give the banknote to me.”
Lu Yan said it easily, but He Shilang was immediately confused.
How many?
One thousand eight hundred taels?
This is the He family’s expenses for two months!
But in the end, he was unreasonable, and the Fourth Young Master He came from a brothel. If it was spread, he would most likely be cited by the censors, so He Shilang could only admit that he was unlucky.
While feeling pain in his body, he forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I'm so considerate. I'm grateful to you."
After saying that, he looked at Butler Yu and motioned for him to go get the money from the account.
Butler Yu finally came to his senses. The two scratches on the carriage and the scratch on the back of his hand were worth 1,800 taels of silver. This man was probably not made of gold!
However, he was shocked, so Butler Yu nodded cooperatively, and then went to get the money from the account.
With a smile on his face, Minister He said, "I would like to trouble you, Your Majesty, to wait a moment."
Lu Yan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "There's no rush."
The main hall fell into brief silence again.
Seeing Shen Qing glance at He Wensheng on the ground from time to time, Shilang He was sweating slightly on his forehead and felt really tormented in his heart.
He didn't know Mu Lingyue's current situation, but he heard from the guards that it was quite serious, and even the famous bone-setting master from Shengjing City was invited.
Just when He Shilang's anxiety was about to overwhelm him, Marquis Yangling finally came in a hurry.
As soon as Yangling Marquis came back from the morning court, he was stopped by Mu Lingxi's personal maid, who said that something big had happened in Minister He's mansion, which was related to the reputation of Yangling Marquis's mansion, and Shen Qing asked him to go there quickly.
These words were naturally taught by Shen Qing, and in fact, Shen Qing also firmly grasped the lifeblood of Yangling Marquis. Only when it was related to the reputation of the mansion would he be so anxious.
Seeing Shen Qing, Yangling Marquis immediately asked, "What happened?"
Shen Qing looked into Yangling Marquis' eyes and said in a cold voice, "The second young lady of Yangling Marquis's mansion was beaten so hard that both of her calves were broken, her knee bones were shattered and sunken, and there was no good skin or flesh on her body. Father, do you think this is a big deal?"
Hearing that only Mu Lingyue was injured, Yangling Marquis immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but because Lu Yan was present, he still pretended to be concerned, and then turned around and scolded Minister He, "He Tao! How dare you treat my young lady like this? Don't you want to live?"
Minister He trembled subconsciously and instantly came back to his senses from Mu Lingyue's injury, "Lord, calm down. I really didn't know about this matter. Please allow me to sternly question He Wensheng, the rebellious son!"
The face of Yangling Marquis was better at this time. He found a seat and sat down, motioning Minister He to start.
Shen Qing's lips curled up. She naturally did not miss the scene where Yangling Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was very sure that if she and Lu Yan had not been there today, this matter would have been reduced to a small matter.
It was precisely because of Yangling Hou's indulgent attitude that He Wensheng became more and more aggressive and hurt Mu Lingyue to the current extent.
There is no doubt that Yangling Hou had an unshirkable responsibility for Mu Lingyue's serious injury.
It can be said that compared to marrying into the He family, having a father like Yangling Hou who only cares about power and completely ignores blood ties is Mu Lingyue's greatest sorrow.
