The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Seeing that she was distracted again, some displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Second Young Master Qin, but to outsiders, he still called out very gently:

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

While shouting, he squeezed Gu Ruolan's elbow tightly, and Gu Ruolan came back to her senses and looked at Nangong Yu who was staring at her coldly.

She lowered her head again.

Qin Mingyuan glanced at her, then raised his head and said:

"So what does Prince Nangong say about the bridal sedan being carried in the wrong direction?"

Nangong Yu looked at Lord Gu:

"What did Lord Gu say?"

What could Lord Gu say? After kicking it around, the question was kicked back to him.

Looking at all the people present, Lord Gu felt that he had never made such a serious statement in his life, and for a moment he felt that he was very important.

He straightened his body, cleared his throat and said:

"My two lords, the servants may have made some mistakes in the panic because we married two girls the other day. However, the ending is good. Yes, the ending is good."

As he spoke, he glanced at Nangong Yu and then at Qin Mingyuan.

That look in his eyes: ...You all understand what I mean, right?

However, Nangong Yu and Qin Mingyuan both looked back at him seriously, as if waiting for him to say what the good ending was.

Lord Gu said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:

"Here's what I think. There are rumors circulating outside every day, but... this matter didn't spread well at the beginning, but now it's okay. It's a good omen. The prince has woken up. And the second son of Qin... Ruolan is also fine."

"They are all alive, that's all good. I think this is the best. If Ruolan had gone to the Nangong family and Ruoxi had gone to the Qin family, we still... we don't know what the result would be. What do you two think?"

What do you think?

Sit and watch!

Neither of them spoke, just staring at Lord Gu without moving.

Lord Gu's forehead was covered with sweat. These two seemed unhappy.

But aren’t they all good things?

The old marquis's wife said in a gloomy tone:

"The girl is from our Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. She has already entered your respective rooms. Do you want to return her?"

Nangong Yu immediately said:

"We have to retreat. We have recognized Ruoxi's opinion."

This is a positive sign that the Nangong family recognizes Gu Ruoxi.

Qin Mingyuan looked at Nangong Yu and Gu Ruoxi meaningfully, and said in a long voice:

"Retreat... but I can't retreat now."

There was something profound in what he said, as if there was some very unfair reason why he couldn't retreat.

But after he finished speaking, he said:

"But Lord Gu wants to tell people outside just this?"

What I mean is, it doesn’t matter who he marries, but you, as the Marquis Gu, have to appease the opinions of people outside.

The Marquis suddenly said:

"What about the dowry?"

Nangong Yu didn't say anything, just smiled.

What should we do? Should we ask Nangong family to withdraw the dowry? You, Gu family, should say this.

Even Lord Gu, who was not in charge of the affairs, knew that this was inappropriate and glared at his wife.

But the Marquis's wife was thinking about the generous dowry she had given to her daughter, and now it was just going to Gu Ruoxi, and she felt like she was being scratched by a cat.

Moreover, it is unclear what's wrong with her daughter, and she won't tell you when asked. The marquis's wife just wants to help her daughter get back the dowry that she deserves.

Nangong Yu was calm and said nothing.

The Gu family owed the Nangong family. After being engaged for more than ten years, a different person married the Nangong family.

Over the past decade, the Nangong family has sent a lot of annual and festival gifts. Gu Ruoxi has definitely never enjoyed a penny of these things.

Now they want to take back the dowry given to Gu Ruoxi. Nangong Yu looked at Madam Hou with some amusement.

The Marquis's wife was a little uneasy after being looked at, and blurted out:

"Except for the dowry from the Duke, the rest of the dowry should be returned to me. That is what I prepared for my daughter, and a lot of it is my own dowry."

Nangong Yu still didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Huang, as if to say, "I see you're going to say something fancy."

Seeing his mother becoming more and more embarrassed, Prince Gu stood up and said:

"Let's discuss this matter carefully. Prince Nangong also knows that carrying the wrong sedan chair is just an accident. There is no way to correct the situation of sending the wrong bride. Fortunately, both sides agree. Let's discuss the other personal belongings carefully."

Gu Ruoxi glanced at Master Gu. She didn't expect him to be able to smooth things over. Although his words implied that they should take out their dowries.

Yesterday, Xie Qingrou discussed the dowry with Nangong Yu.

Xie Qingrou is from the Xie family, and she really doesn't care about things like gold, silver and treasures.

The dowries that were precious in the eyes of Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Huang were really not worth mentioning in the eyes of Xie Qingrou.

Therefore, she also discussed the matter with Nangong Yu. The Gu family would definitely mention the dowry. They naturally knew the situation of the Gu family. This batch of dowry was half of the Gu family's property.

But if you want the Nangong family to return the dowry, you must come up with an explanation.

Nangong Yu originally wanted to force the Gu family to raise Gu Ruoxi's status to that of a legitimate daughter. It wasn't because he really cared about whether she was a legitimate daughter or not, but he didn't want people to point fingers at Gu Ruoxi when she went out to socialize in the future.

But now Gu Ruoxi said she wanted to take her mother away, so Nangong Yu had a bold idea.

If her mother was a good citizen, then Gu Ruoxi would naturally be a legitimate daughter, although her status was lower.

So, he wanted to use the dowry to exchange for Shu Yuhe's bond.

But judging from the Marquis's behavior, he seemed to care about Shu Shi very much. He was afraid that he would not let Shu Shi leave the house.

Nangong Yu decided to take it slow.

So, when Prince Gu mentioned it, he didn't say a word.

What he said is negotiable, so it depends on how he negotiates.

Sometimes, silence can represent many meanings. You can understand it as consent or as disagreement.

Prince Gu’s IQ is not enough to guess what Nangong Yu is thinking.

Of course, no one present could guess what Nangong Yu was thinking.

But everyone is still guessing.

Xiao Huang immediately interpreted Nangong Yu's silence as a guilty conscience.

You, a concubine's daughter, took the dowry of the legitimate daughter. If that's not a sign of guilt, then what is that?

Xiao Huang ignored her son's objection and said confidently:

"I also have the dowry list in my hand. We will give the second girl the dowry she deserves, but my dowry and some dowry specifically for Ruolan must be given to Ruolan."

This means that what a concubine's daughter deserves is what a concubine's daughter should have, and what a legitimate daughter deserves is what a legitimate daughter should have.

I was also generous, so I took back some of the ones I thought were legitimate daughters, and the rest were considered illegitimate daughters.

Gu Ruoxi rolled her eyes. She valued the dowry because she was short of money.

Moreover, she knew from Qingqiu that the dowry belonged to her and even the Nangong family could not touch it.

Now that I have taken away the Gu family’s things, how can I go back to the Gu family?

But Gu Ruoxi knew that she couldn't win the argument with them. She was confused by the whole thing about legitimate and illegitimate children.

So she turned to look at Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu smiled faintly, which comforted her.

But he didn't say a word.
