Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 47: Shared Wealth and Misfortune
Xie Xilan, who was about to get married, stayed quietly in her room. Of course she heard the loud noise in the mansion today.
But what does this have to do with her?
She will be married into the marquis's mansion soon, where she can continue to enjoy the wealth and splendor.
Xie Xilan had no impression of her two elder brothers in the mansion. She only knew that they were uneducated and gave her father a headache.
When Gu Feiwan was still a daughter of the Xie family, she asked the then Crown Princess to arrange a job for her in Jingzhao Prefecture.
But I heard a while ago that he made a mistake and was fired and sent home.
But the two of them are rarely seen at home, and they hang out outside all day long. Now they have even caused a murder lawsuit!
"Qiusang, go and put away my jewelry box!" Xie Xilan thought for a moment, then looked up and gave the order.
Qiu Sang agreed, went to the dressing table, and moved the pile of boxes to the inner room.
"Put it in the cabinet beside the bed and lock it!" Xie Xilan was worried, so she went in and put it away herself. Only after she saw Qiu Sang tighten the childproof lock did she feel relieved.
After the master and servant finished all this, the maid outside announced: "Miss, the master is here!"
Xie Xilan frowned and exchanged glances with Qiu Sang. Qiu Sang understood and walked out first, turning sideways.
"Master, when the girl got up this morning, she said she felt dizzy, and she hasn't gotten up yet!"
When Xie Huaizhong heard this, he immediately asked anxiously, "Have you consulted the court doctor?"
Qiu Sang lowered his eyebrows and said: "Not yet, the girl said it's nothing serious, she will be fine after a short sleep, it's not a minor illness, it's just a bother."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Huaizhong slapped the table lightly: "If she is sick, she should see a doctor. She is pregnant, so we can't be careless!"
"Father..." Xie Xilan was dressed in plain clothes, with her hair tied up in a bun scattered behind her head, and she looked like she was struggling to get up.
Qiu Sang hurried over to help her, and Xie Huaizhong also stood up and helped his daughter: "What happened?"
"Maybe it's because I embroidered the handkerchief too late last night, so I have a headache today. It's no big deal." Xie Xilan said it was no big deal, but her brows were furrowed and her cheeks were pale, as if she was in extreme pain.
"If you don't have enough handkerchiefs, just ask someone to buy some. Why waste your health?"
"The mansion is not the same as before, and my daughter also wants to share her father's worries."
Xie Xilan was out of breath and panting, but she pretended to be strong, which made Xie Huaizhong feel very guilty!
I am even more ashamed of the purpose of this trip!
But the situation in the mansion right now has become extremely critical.
Since his daughter has such a heart, he can't let her down:
"Lan'er is such a good daughter to her father!"
"Your brothers are not very good, but you are all brothers from the same mother. I am wondering if I can use your dowry money first."
Xie Xilan was immediately annoyed. She had done this in order to take the initiative and shut up Xie Huaizhong.
I didn't expect Xie Huaizhong to be so shameless that he actually went with the flow and spoke!
"Father, it's not that Lan'er doesn't want to." Xie Xilan took a deep breath, and when her eyes were filled with tears, she raised her head and said:
"The Marquis of Weiwu is in his heyday, and the little princess is the granddaughter of Prince Cheng. My daughter is in decline. If she doesn't have a dowry, how can she hold her head high in front of others?"
"Father, can you really bear to see your daughter go to the Marquis' Mansion and be looked down upon?"
Xie Huaizhong was speechless. The emperor's decree brought great honor to the Weiwu Marquisate, but put his daughter into an embarrassing situation.
Originally, after Gu Feiwan divorced, Xie Xilan could take advantage of the situation to secure her position as the first wife of the Marquis's Mansion.
The child born also suddenly became a legitimate child!
But unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly after the death of the previous emperor!
Xie Xilan is still a co-wife! Equivalent to a concubine!
The one being oppressed is the domineering little princess who is known to everyone in the capital!
Xie Huaizhong loves his daughter so much that he would get anxious every time he wakes up in the middle of the night.
But the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh and blood. Now the two sons are still locked up in prison.
Nothing is more important than saving lives!
Xie Huaizhong spoke with difficulty: "Don't worry, Lan'er, I'm already selling off my property. Once I raise the money, I'll pay you back immediately!"
"Don't you think Lan Er still trusts me?"
It would have been better if these words had not been said. When Xie Xilan heard that Xie Huaizhong was selling off his property, she became even more alert.
"It's not that Lan'er doesn't want to, it's just that all these properties have been written down on the dowry list. If the Marquis's Mansion finds nothing wrong, how can my daughter live with dignity? She can only die with the unborn child in her belly!"
Xie Xilan covered her face and cried!
Xie Huaizhong felt distressed, anxious, and ashamed. He wanted to leave immediately, but after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said:
"There are 10,000 taels of silver in your dowry, which was given by the Gu family. Please give it to me first, and I will return it to the Gu family!"
Xie Xilan raised her head abruptly, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Gu family? What Gu family?"
Xie Huaizhong could only tell the story of the 20,000 taels of silver given by the Gu family three years ago.
Xie Xilan's mind went blank. She really didn't expect that the Gu family had prepared a dowry for her!
And it’s still ten thousand taels!
Even the aristocratic families in the capital can hardly match this kind of effort!
The Gu family is so generous?
Thousands of thoughts ran through Xie Xilan's mind. After a long while, she finally nodded:
"Father is right. My brothers and I are from the same mother. How can I stand by and watch them die without helping them?"
"Qiusang, bring me my dowry money."
Ten thousand taels of silver exchanged for silver notes was just a pile of paper, but when Xie Huaizhong received it, he burst into tears:
"I am ashamed of my father!"
Xie Xilan stood up with the help of the table. Her belly was already showing, so she walked around more carefully.
"Father, I have been in the Gu family for many years. Since they still think of me, I naturally have to thank them. Father, take me with you. Maybe because of our years of friendship, the Gu family will be more accommodating!"
In Xie Xilan's memory, the Gu family was not big, but it was neatly decorated, and her grandparents were in good spirits, as if they were never tired.
Her parents were capable and managed most of the family business, but they were also very busy and had little time to play with her.
On the other hand, her uncle and aunt were kind and amiable, and they often took turns to take her around to see new things.
She was the only girl in the family at that time, and everyone doted on her.
The Gu family doesn't have so many rules, so Xie Xilan lives freely.
Xie Huaizhong of course nodded in agreement to Xie Xilan's proposal:
"You are in a heavy condition now, but I want you to run around for me. You are useless as a father!"
Xie Xilan has always been considerate: "As a family, we share the joys and sorrows. Father, please stop saying that!"
Xie Xilan took out the money, and the government added some more money to the account.
On the third day, at daybreak, Xie Huaizhong took Xie Xilan out of the city and headed straight for the Gu family villa!
"Xie Huaizhong?"
Gu Yechen had just finished a set of boxing in the yard, and when he heard the servants report back, he could immediately pinch a fly to death between his eyebrows:
"What is this old thief doing here?"
"You said you were here to return something, but Miss Lan is here too!" The contempt in the servant's eyes had not yet dissipated.
The Xie Xilan I saw just now was dressed up as an unmarried woman, delicate and bright-colored, but with a big belly.
It's really an eyesore!
