Chapter 226 The House Changes Ownership
"Brother-in-law, no matter how valuable something is, it won't fetch a good price in your hands. If you're not careful, you might end up paying for it and losing everything, and end up in trouble."
Lu Mingyang looked at his elder sister who was wiping away tears alone and said calmly, "If you treat my elder sister well, I can give you a few acres of land to farm and a shop so that you can live the rest of your life in comfort. If you can't treat my elder sister well, I don't mind finding her a new husband."
Zhang Fengshou was stunned.
Zheng Hao kicked Zhang Fengshou in the knee and reminded him, "Hurry up and thank the princess."
Zhang Fengshou knelt on the floor with a thud, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Second… No, thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."
He took out the jade bracelet belatedly.
Lu Mingyang put it back on his wrist, slammed his palm on the table, and said angrily: "You dog slave, how dare you be rude to this princess's brother-in-law."
Zheng Hao knelt down, bent his waist, raised his head, and slapped himself in the face. "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die."
The sound of slaps and confessions was right next to Zhang Fengshou's ears, and he felt both delighted and frightened. Yang Pan'er went over and helped her husband up.
Lu Mingyang waved his hands: "Get lost!"
"Yes!" Zheng Hao fell to the floor with a bang and walked away backwards.
"Wait!" Lu Mingyang stood up and walked out. Zheng Hao followed behind him and walked out of the door. Lu Mingyang turned to look at Zheng Hao, and saw that the bandage on his head was red.
"Are you okay?" Lu Mingyang took out a silver ingot and gave it to him.
Zheng Hao waved his hand: "Princess, you are embarrassing me. I understand. It is my honor to serve you."
Although she wanted to warn Zhang Fengshou, if she went too far, it would inevitably make him angry. Even though she didn't dare to show it due to her status as a princess, they were still husband and wife. What was the point of treating them like a slave serving his master?
"Here, buy some medicine." Lu Mingyang threw him some silver and smiled at the bump on his head. "You little bastard, no wonder His Highness likes you."
Zheng Hao also smiled: "Princess, when will you return to the palace? For so many days, Your Highness has not been to the East Warm Pavilion for a single night. He sleeps alone, and it makes me feel sad to see you."
"Get lost!" Lu Mingyang, who had wanted to get some information about Chu Mingzheng, blushed with embarrassment and sternly said, "Prepare some food and send it over. Don't come. Arrange for a dozen guards to come over."
According to regulations, the Prince's Palace had fifty guards. The guards were all warriors with ranks. The emperor had been delaying the provision of these guards, and only after repeated urging from the Empress Dowager did the emperor finally arrange for them.
Zheng Hao moved quickly. Before long, the entire hall was filled with food sent from the palace. There were eighteen guards, six standing inside the room and twelve standing outside, each with their swords slung over their shoulders.
Zheng Hao also arranged three young eunuchs and three maids to serve at the dinner table. The scene was quite frightening and gave people a great sense of vanity.
Mother Yang was delighted to be served dinner, and Yang Pan'er was also happy. Only Zhang Fengshou could feel the guards behind him drawing their swords, and the cold wind whistled.
Lu Mingyang asked, "Brother-in-law, is the food not to your liking?"
"Close your mouth, close your mouth." Zhang Fengshou lowered his head and ate the rice.
Yang Nian'er wanted to laugh when she saw this, and her worry that her father would not want to leave disappeared.
Not long after, Yang Tiezhu returned humming a little tune. The guards in the courtyard startled him, and nervously stepped into the hall, asking curiously, "Second girl, you're back?"
The guards all drew their swords and half-exposed themselves.
Zhang Fengshou hurriedly supported the trembling Yang Tiezhu and said, "Dad, you have to bow to the princess and not address her casually."
"We're family, no need to be so formal." Lu Mingyang ordered, "You guys go out and wait!"
"Yes!" The voices shook the sky.
A young eunuch opened the seat next to Lu Mingyang. Yang Tiezhu nervously sat over and asked, "Erya...Princess, are you back from the temple?"
"What temple?" Lu Mingyang was surprised.
Yang Nian'er quickly interrupted, "Dad, the princess bought you some things, as well as a donkey cart. You should go back tomorrow morning!"
Yang Tiezhu shook his head: "I won't go back for now, Third girl. If you don't want to get married, Dad will support you for the rest of your life. It's not like we don't have a place to live."
Yang Nian'er felt vaguely uneasy and subconsciously looked at her second sister.
Lu Mingyang asked, "Dad, what does my cousin want to talk to you about?"
Yang Tiezhu chuckled and pulled out a yellowed title deed from his pocket: "Prince Wei has transferred this house to me."
"What did you say?" Yang Nian'er stood up suddenly.
"This house belongs to our family now," Yang Tiezhu emphasized again. After that, he happily told Zhang Fengshou, "I'll sell the house and build a new one for you two."
Zhang Fengshou looked at Lu Mingyang's gloomy face and didn't dare to thank him.
Yang Nian'er was furious. "This is my house. Why should he give it to you?"
"Kid, I did all this for you," Yang Tiezhu said righteously. "I worked so hard to earn money to pay off the mortgage, but in the end the deed is still in someone else's hands. Don't you think you're stupid?"
"You know how much effort Dad put in to get the house back for you. Not only are you not grateful to me, but you're also giving me a cold shoulder. If it weren't for me, you'd be his concubine now."
Seeing that Nian'er's plan to become Prince Wei's concubine was about to fall through, he went to the appointment nervously. Unexpectedly, he was able to get the house just by talking.
"You're talking nonsense!" Yang Nian'er ran out angrily.
Lu Mingyang said, "Come here, keep an eye on them. Anyone who dares to sell me a house will be kidnapped."
After saying that, he chased after Yang Nian'er.
In the Duke of Wei's mansion, Wei Luo's study, Wei Luo sat on the couch, looking coldly at the secretary who was kneeling on the ground.
The servant slapped his face and said, "This servant deserves death. This servant shouldn't have guessed what the master was thinking. Please calm down, master. This servant is willing to be beaten and punished, just to calm down and not get sick from anger."
Wei Luo said coldly: "If you do it again, I will kill you."
"Yes, young master!" The secretary kowtowed.
"Get out!" Wei Luo felt depressed and stood up to look for a book on the shelf. He flipped through two pages of this book, then two pages of that book. The books were piled all over the floor, and he couldn't read any of them.
With a bang, Yang Nian'er rushed in angrily despite the secretary's attempt to stop her.
"Brother Wei, I trust you so much, why did you give my house to my father?"
Wei Luo was stunned. He thought she was here to question him why he wanted her to be his concubine, but he didn't expect it was for such a small matter.
Yang Nian'er cried, "I gave you all my money. I worked so hard every day to earn money so that I could pay off the debt for the house one day. But you gave it to someone else without even asking me. What do you think of me?"
Yang Nian'er was so angry that she took off the coral necklace from her wrist and threw it to the ground. The rope broke and the red beads were scattered all over the ground.
