Chapter 420 Difficulty
The three of them got on the car one after another. Yu Linlang thought for a moment and said, "So now, are we responsible for the placement of these girls, or should we hand them all over to the Dali Temple?"

"The remaining 113 people are mostly girls from the vicinity of Pingjiang Prefecture. They will be temporarily settled in our government office. The Dali Temple really cannot spare the time to hand over these girls." Chi Tu sighed and shook his head.

Every time this happens, it makes me feel very distressed.

In fact, as long as these victims' families are willing to accept them, there will always be a way out.

"Most of the Jiangnan noble families don't want a daughter whose reputation has been ruined like this."

Yu Linlang sneered, "You can't even protect your own daughter, and now you have the nerve to complain about this and that."

Ling He: "After all, the government has limited money. Even though we have placed them outside now, it is not a long-term solution. It is difficult to feed so many mouths with two meals a day."

"You don't have to worry about the money. I'll give it to you in a few days." The ornaments, paintings, and jade carvings that were searched out of the small secret room could be auctioned off at Qianjinzhai. It would not be difficult to support some girls.

But Ling He is right. It is not good to keep him in the government office in the long run.

These girls who are rejected by their families still have to rely on themselves to find a way out.

It’s not that Yu Linlang can’t afford to support these people, but she is not a saintly saint who is blessed with holy light, so there is no reason for her to keep supporting them.

Secondly, I have no relationship with these girls, and rescuing them from the wolf's den and supporting them for a while is already the most I can do.

As for the future, everyone has their own destiny, and it is up to them to find their own way out.

Rely on mountains and mountains will fall down, rely on people and people will run away. You can only rely on yourself for everything.

"Hu Hu, you are really rich and powerful." Chi Tu hooked her shoulders and smiled.

Ling He approached the two of them with a playful smile, "Two sisters, when we go back later, we'll pass by Ai Shangni and bring some fruit tea."

Chi Tu rolled his eyes at him, "What kind of passing by?"

"Hey, it's on the way, Bunny."

Chi Tu gave him a vomiting expression, then turned around and smiled at Yu Linlang.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Zheng's house, three people got off one after another with slightly surprised expressions.

Today, Zheng's mansion is hanging big red lanterns, as if they are holding a wedding banquet...

The messenger asked the gatekeeper and found out that it was Aunt Xiao, the head of the Zheng family, who had given birth to a son, and a hundred-day banquet was being held today.

"Is it the concubine who is in charge of Lord Zheng's house?" Yu Linlang was quite curious, and then stopped to look at the row of carriages parked on the left side of the main gate.

"Indeed." Chi Tu whispered gossip, "This Aunt Xiao is also quite famous, and is considered a good socialite in the capital. She is Zheng Hanlin's cousin, and her mother's family is poor so she can't be his wife, but she and Zheng Hanlin have a close relationship since childhood."

"It had been less than a year since Madam Zheng came into the family when Hanlin Zheng brought in Concubine Xiao. They both had a daughter, who was not much different in age."

Yu Linlang couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Is it because Madam Zheng's physical condition has become increasingly weak since giving birth that the household affairs have been taken over by Mr. Zheng's good cousin?"

"Hu Hu, have you heard of this?" Chi Tu asked in surprise.

"I guess so."

"Mrs. Zheng is also a pitiful woman. She became ill after giving birth to Miss Zheng Manting and has not been pregnant for many years. However, Aunt Xiao gave birth to two boys in succession, and today is the hundred-day banquet for her youngest son."

"My mother is here too."

"what?"

Yu Linlang glanced at the row of carriages and said, "My carriage." "How could Madam Su..." Chi Tu lifted her skirt and followed Yu Linlang up the stairs.

Not only her mother, she also saw Mrs. Lu's carriage.

The three men showed their badges at the gatehouse, and the servants hurried in to inform Zheng Guang.

But in a moment, Zheng Guang came out with a few servants to greet them, smiling and bowing, "Ah, all the masters of the Demon Suppression Bureau have come to my humble home to celebrate for my son. It really brings honor to my humble home."

Yu Linlang interrupted him expressionlessly, "We are here to investigate the case."

Zheng Guang choked, then quickly put on a smile and said, "Cooperate, we will definitely do our best to cooperate with Master Yuhu."

Yu Linlang walked into the door with her hands behind her back, "Master Zheng, you don't have to accompany us. Let's go find Mr. Zhou to find out the situation."

Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, "Your Excellency is talking about Madam's nephew Zhou Lanting."

"It's him."

Yu Linlang glanced at Zheng Guang and said, "Just find a steward from the mansion to follow us. Go get busy."

Lord Yuhu said he would find a steward, but how could Zheng Guang rest assured and allow this master to walk around freely in his backyard...

So he called his trusted advisor and the chief steward to accompany Yu Linlang to the lady's courtyard.

"Huakang Academy is closed today."

"I know, so I came here to find Zhou Lanting."

The chief steward smiled and said, "Our Madam is not feeling well. Whenever Young Master Zhou comes back from school, he will go to pay his respects to Madam."

Yu Linlang followed the steward and walked further and further away. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said bluntly, "Your mistress lives in this remote place? I'm afraid she must be having a hard time at home!"

The steward was stunned and had no idea how to respond to the girl's straightforward words.

This Lord Jade Fox is a person who does not play by the rules at all.

Normally when you visit someone's home, no matter how unhappy you are, you can't just speak rudely and criticize the host, right? Don't you care about face at all?
The master's trusted advisor reacted very quickly. Hearing this, he smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Let your Excellency know that it is not that my master wants to treat the Madam badly. It is that since the Madam fell ill, she has been anxious and short of breath and cannot stand any noise, so she moved to this remote garden to live. The servants who serve her are also the best. They usually move very quietly and do not make any noise to scare the Madam."

"That's it? Qingjing Garden? It looks like a run-down house!" Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows and glanced at the dark house number. This is almost the same as Lengyuan...

The area in front of the door was desolate and barren. The leaves had not even been swept away, not to mention the paint-peeling door frame. It was as shabby as it could be.

If others hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that this was the courtyard of Mrs. Zheng Hanlin.

No matter how eloquent the lawyer is, he can't make up any more stories when he sees this poor man...

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that if the master really respected the lady, she would not be exiled to such a dilapidated mansion even if she was ill and could not take care of the household chores.

The lawyer glared at the steward fiercely and planned to go back and report the matter to the master.

Aunt Xiao's arrangement was really too much.

After all, she is the wife. How can you say that you live in such a shabby house? It won't do any good to Master Yu's reputation!

Yu Linlang and the other two were invited into the garden by the steward, only to find that the garden was empty.

The master couldn't hold back his face any more. He glared at the butler and asked, "What's going on? Where are all the servants in the Madam's courtyard?"

He had just boasted that his wife was surrounded by smart people, but was immediately slapped in the face.
