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

Prince Nangong looked at everyone in the room. They couldn't believe that Nangong Yu was holding them back from returning the dowry in exchange for a concubine's indenture.

Nangong Yu said lightly:

"Lord Gu, my Changyong Marquis's Mansion and Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion have had a friendship since my grandfather's generation. It was the two elders who arranged this marriage for me. Over the past ten years since the engagement, my Changyong Marquis's family has never failed to send a festival gift. But I didn't expect that the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion would set us up at the end."

"So, Lord Gu, do you want to argue with me in the court? The friendship between the Changyong Marquis's family and the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion has been treated as a joke by you. Do you think that I am really dead or disabled and have no use?"

"Qingyi, give the things to Lord Gu to have a look."

With every word Nangong Yu spoke, Lord Gu's heart trembled.

How could he dare to go to court with Nangong Yu?

For a marquis like him who holds an idle position, even if he has to attend court every time there is a grand court, he will just be one more person standing there like a wooden stake.

Did he dare to argue with Prince Nangong, who was the one who set the tone in the court?

To put it bluntly, not only him, but even Duke Qin would have to think twice.

But when Qingyi walked in expressionlessly, took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Lord Gu, Lord Gu just glanced at her.

Lord Gu, whose face was so pale, almost slipped out of his chair.

How come Nangong Yu has these?

He was very flustered, and hurriedly folded the paper and put it close to his body. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked at Nangong Yu with a complicated look.

Everyone else in the room was looking at the Marquis, wondering what was written on it that made the Marquis so scared?

The Marquis looked at Nangong Yu with complicated eyes, but Nangong Yu was calm as if he was facing an ordinary matter.

His hands were still playing with Gu Ruoxi's fingers.

He was waiting for the Marquis' decision.

The Marquis's face turned pale, and he could only turn his head to look at the Marquis's wife:

"Give Aunt Shu...Shu Yuhe's indenture to Prince Nangong!"

He didn't dare to call her Aunt Shu anymore, nor did he dare to regard Prince Nangong as his son-in-law anymore.

Lord Gu looked at Gu Ruoxi who had a naive look on her face and seemed not to understand what was going on.

This daughter is no longer his daughter from now on, and the Changyong Marquis Mansion is no longer his in-laws!

Xiao Huang was surprised, but she was actually happy about taking Shu Yuhe's indenture.

When people reach middle age, they are afraid that men will become nostalgic.

Even if it was only these two days, the love that the Marquis showed for Shu Yuhe made her feel like she was being scratched by a cat.

The 40-year-old Marquis was no longer able to stay in her room. But in the past two days, he heard from the servants that he asked for water two or three times a day from Shu Yuhe.

She is jealous.

She would love to let Shu Yuhe leave the Marquis' Mansion, but not in this way.

Being forced to leave like this will leave an indelible mark on the Marquis' heart.

And there is still no explanation regarding the dowry.

"Master Hou!"

Xiao Huang cried out.

Lord Gu suddenly raised his hand and slammed the table:

"Don't you understand what I said? Bring out Shu's indenture."

After a pause, he said:

"Pay back all the monthly wages owed to Shu Shi and Ruoxi over the years."

The Marquis' wife almost got furious when she heard this. "I haven't even got my dowry back yet, and you're asking me to pay for it? Do you really think there's a mountain of gold and silver in the Marquis' Mansion?"

However, before Xiao Huang could speak, Nangong Yu said calmly:

"No need. I can still support my mother-in-law. But Lord Gu, remember that Xi'er just said that her name is not even on the family tree. So there is no need to put her name on the family tree. From now on, my Yue family will only have my mother-in-law."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Lord Gu had anticipated this, so he asked his wife to pay off the previous debt, so that they could get closer. However, he did not expect Nangong Yu to directly refuse.

He also said bluntly that Gu Ruoxi's family tree did not need to be included, and that he would only recognize one Yue family from now on, which was the Shu family.

Lord Gu's face turned even paler.

He knew that Prince Nangong had given up his Ningyuan Marquisate.

He knew that the old marquis's wife had naturally thought of it as well.

Then, his grandson’s job would be in vain.

The old marquis's wife looked coldly at Shu Shi, who had just been coaxed by her daughter. I didn't expect it. If I had known, I would have let them be beaten to death for the crime of causing trouble for the master.

"My Lord, what you said is not reasonable. The marriage between Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion and Changyong Marquis' Mansion was arranged by the two old marquises. They are gone now, but your grandmother and I are still here."

"Something went wrong with the Gu family's daughter's marriage this time, but it would be inappropriate to cut off the exchanges between the two mansions. Has the prince heard the opinion of the old lady of the Changyong Marquis's mansion?"

Nangong Yu looked at her, without replying to her words, and turned to look at Lord Gu:

"What does the Lord say?"

Lord Gu broke out in a cold sweat and immediately said:

"It's not severed, it's just... I just gave Ruoxi the status of a legitimate daughter. It's the fault of my Ningyuan Marquisate. I will take care of this matter. My Lord, Shu Shi has to find a house after moving out. I have a three-story house on Kangning Street, not far from... not far from Changyong Marquisate. I will give it to Shu Shi as an apology for the Marquisate's wrongs to her and Xi'er over the years, okay?"

Tsk tsk, this marquis is so humble even when giving something as a gift, as if he is afraid that Nangong Yu will not accept it.

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, her eyes lit up.

This is good, mother will be closer to me.

But she didn't know where Corning Street was.

If you don't understand, you have to ask. This is Gu Ruoxi's advantage, so she leaned close to Nangong Yu's ear and asked:

"Is Corning Street far?"

Another breath of hot air came, Nangong Yu narrowed his eyes with a smile, turned around and blew a breath of hot air at Gu Ruoxi, and said in her ear in a voice that everyone could hear:

"Not far away, just behind the Changyong Marquis's mansion."

Gu Ruoxi's eyes narrowed with smile:

"That's good."

Nangong Yu smiled dotingly and said:

"Well, Xi'er, if you like it, take it."

Gu Ruoxi turned around happily and said to Shu:

"Mom, now that you have a house, you can be the master of your own house in the future. I can also visit you often. We live very close."

She was very happy and wanted to pass on this happiness to the Shu family.

Gu Ruoxi didn't care about the discussion at the scene and handed it over to Nangong Yu. She was relieved. Don't ask why, anyway, Gu Ruoxi believed in Nangong Yu.

But Shu was listening, and she was terrified.

She couldn't see the expressions of the people at the scene clearly, but she could guess that no one in the Gu family had a good face.

She was used to being a servant in the Gu family, so she was afraid.

But Gu Ruoxi was not afraid, not only because she was a time traveler, but also because she was not a slave even if it was her predecessor.

Gu Ruoxi just thought her mother was timid, so she comforted her:

"Mom, don't be afraid, Nangong Yu is here."

After listening to this, Nangong Yu felt…so happy, as if he felt more comfortable than having a debate with two old ministers in the court!
