She really doesn't want to care about anything and doesn't want anything at this moment!

I just want a divorce!

How could a woman divorce right after getting married? At least there should be a reasonable reason, spend some time, and divorce legitimately, so as not to lose etiquette and preserve the dignity of both parties.

Otherwise, if they divorced, how would the Shangshu Mansion maintain its reputation? Her mother would probably prefer that she marry somewhere else.

Now, we can only take things one step at a time. But what is going on with this betrothal gift of only eight loads?

At noon, Hongdou went to the kitchen to get food, but what she brought back was only one dish and one soup.

She brought this simple meal into the room. Ning Xue looked up and got so angry that her stomachache came back.

The so-called dish was just a bowl of boiled eggs and a portion of stir-fried vegetables, without even a piece of meat.

Hongdou was so angry that she couldn't help but complain: "This Huo family simply doesn't take us seriously at all."

Back then, Ning Xue would have gone to Huo's mother to ask for an explanation regarding Huo Beixuan's meals without hesitation, but now, she was full of disgust towards Huo Beixuan and felt that he only deserved to eat dog food.

"Forget it! Go to the small kitchen next door and order some dishes!" Ning Xue said helplessly.

Hongdou looked embarrassed and replied, "Miss, I was planning to go out to buy groceries this morning, but the concierge refused to let me go out, saying that the Huo family has no rules for women to go out at will."

When Ning Xue heard this, she was immediately furious. This Huo's mother actually wanted to use this method to force her to surrender. It was simply outrageous!

That’s right, Mrs. Huo had exactly this in mind.

She knew Ning Xue was rich and could buy whatever she wanted, but she refused to let her go out. Even if she had money, what good would it do? She had no place to spend it.

If Ning Xue wanted to open a small kitchen and live a luxurious life, she had to please Mother Huo first.

At this time, Mrs. Huo was proudly discussing with the wet nurse in the room, waiting to see how long Ning Xue could hold on.

Mrs. Huo was not afraid at all that Ning Xue would complain to her father who was the Minister.

After all, if you marry into the Huo family, you are the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Following the rules and being filial to your parents-in-law are the most important things. Who will be embarrassed if you make a fuss about such a trivial matter as going out? Besides, the Shangshu is busy with all kinds of affairs, so how can he care about the trivial matters in the backyard?

As for Ning's mother, would she lower herself to negotiate with Huo's mother for her daughter? Don't even think about it, that's impossible.

Looking at the dowry that Ning's mother prepared for her daughter, you can tell that Ning's mother is afraid that she has raised this daughter in vain.

Ning Xue was eating the most unpalatable meal she had ever had. She had been hungry since her wedding night. No matter how unpalatable it was, she still frowned and finished the meal.

In the afternoon, Huo Beixuan returned, and with him came two able-bodied men.

When Huo Beixuan walked into the side room and saw that there were only eight loads of dowry, he understood that Huo's mother had indeed carried away ten loads. He immediately asked the able-bodied men to carry away the other eight loads as well.

Ning Xue walked in with a cold face. Seeing the strong men carrying things, she said nothing and turned back to her room. She had thoroughly witnessed the shamelessness of this family.

After the two strong men finished carrying the things in three batches, they actually said, "These can only be regarded as repayment of the principal. The interest is still owed."

Huo Beixuan's expression changed, and he asked in surprise: "Why do you still owe interest?"

It was clearly only five loads of betrothal money, but now eight loads have been paid back, and it still hasn't been paid off! This underground bank is really too shady!

"It's written in black and white. We won't ask you for more. I think you'd better pay it back now. Otherwise, I don't know how much the interest will increase in two days." The strong man said with a gloomy face and a bad tone.

"Wait a minute!" Huo Beixuan shouted loudly and then walked into the room.

He immediately saw the wedding dress that Ning Xue had thrown beside the dressing table, as well as the golden bridal crown that she had taken off last night. Huo Beixuan walked straight forward and picked up the wedding dress and the golden headdress.

Ning Xue's face instantly turned cold, and she shouted angrily: "These are my things, what do you want to do?"

Huo Beixuan's expression was even colder than hers. He snorted and said, "Where do you think the extra eight loads of betrothal gifts came from?" Huo Beixuan did not hide his anger, and said, "If it weren't for your so-called face, how could I owe money?"

"Isn't it my duty to pay you back with these?" Huo Beixuan looked determined.

"You!" Ning Xue was furious.

Huo Beixuan then mocked her coldly: "If you want to marry in glory and dignity, why don't you find a rich man? You know my family background, but you insist that I pay a lot of attention to the betrothal gifts. Tell me, is there such a good thing in the world?"

Ning Xue stared at Huo Beixuan with vicious eyes, but said nothing. However, she swore secretly in her heart: One day, she will destroy Huo Beixuan, this sanctimonious and hypocritical beast!

……

Back at Prince Shangguan's Mansion, Yun Chang originally planned to catch up on some sleep and get up at noon, but who could have expected that she would sleep until the afternoon.

She sat up dazedly, her head still a little dizzy, and she patted her head subconsciously.

When her eyes swept across the new house, she saw that it was decorated with festive colors. The room was much larger than her previous boudoir. The antique vases placed in the room were of warm color and obviously worth a lot of money.

At this moment, Yun Shang suddenly realized that she was already married! This was her new house!

Yun Shang stretched her body and wondered, didn't she sleep on the couch last night? How did she sleep on the bed? Did the prince see her fall asleep and carry her to bed?

She slowly got out of bed. At this moment, Xiaohong pushed the door open and walked in, saying with a smile on her face, "Miss, you're awake!"

Xiaohong held the warm food in her hands and continued, "It's just right, eat something. Even if you don't wake up, I'm going to wake you up."

Yun Shang nodded, only then realizing that she hadn't eaten since morning and her stomach was already empty.

She walked to the table, sat down, and started eating. While eating, she asked, "Where is the prince?"

"My son-in-law woke up at noon and seemed to have gone to the outer courtyard." Xiaohong answered truthfully.

Yun Shang nodded, thinking to herself that after dinner, she would go for a walk around the yard.

Xiao Hong said mysteriously, "Miss, the servants held a banquet last night. It was a lively scene with a lot of people! There were about 30 tables!" Xiao Hong couldn't help but sigh, "How much money does it cost to support so many people?"

"But today, when I went to the kitchen to get food, I didn't see many servants along the way, except for a few more people in the kitchen."

Xiaohong paused and said, "Even in our yard, there are not many people!" In fact, Xiaohong also wanted to say that no one knew where Liu Meir had gone.

Yun Shang just smiled and said, "It would be better if there were fewer people. It would be quieter."

But I thought to myself: They are all secret guards, hiding to carry out their mission! How can you easily see them?
