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

Nangong Yu expressed his willingness to accept the house, but the Marquis's wife and Prince Gu were both unhappy.

They both shouted in unison:

"Master Hou!"

"father!"

The three-story house on Corning Street is currently the most valuable property in the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

Corning Street is located at the corner of East Street and South Street, and most of the houses on the entire street are back doors of wealthy families, and there are not many that form independent courtyards.

The old marquis of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion also put in some effort to obtain this house.

Several wealthy businessmen and high-ranking families have come to ask about buying this house.

At the beginning, I thought of Gu Ruolan marrying into the Marquis of Changyong's Mansion, and considered whether to give Gu Ruolan a dowry, but Lord Gu was reluctant to do so.

But now he was given to a concubine who was sent out of the mansion. No, she was not even a concubine, but just a second-class maid.

The marquis' wife knew about the existence of this house, but the old marquis did not keep the title deed of this house in the palace. Instead, he gave it to the marquis to manage in his study.

Prince Gu also knew about this house, and his father-in-law wanted to buy it, and the price he offered was not low. However, Marquis Gu did not agree to sell it at that time.

Because it is not easy to buy a three-story house in a central location in the capital.

The kind that you can't buy even if you have money.

And now the Marquis gave it directly to the Shu family.

Nangong Yu agreed to accept it, and the Marquis breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Nangong Yu accepts this house, then the matter on the paper I just saw will not cause any trouble from Nangong Yu. The Marquis believes this.

Therefore, facing the calls from the Marquis's wife and Master Gu, the Marquis was not shaken at all.

He directly asked his attendant to go to the study, take the box from the secret compartment, and hand it to Nangong Yu in person.

After the attendant left, Nangong Yu twitched his lips and said:

"About the dowry..."

The Marquis's wife was so angry that her face turned blue. She originally wanted to argue with the Marquis, but then she heard Nangong Yu mention the dowry again.

She glared at Nangong Yu again.

Nangong Yu didn't even look at her, and just said to Lord Gu:

"Ruoxi is no longer in your family tree, so she can't accept your dowry. I will have someone return the dowry to Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion later."

what?

Gu Ruoxi turned her head to look at Nangong Yu.

Should I return all my money? Wouldn't that make me poor again?

Nangong Yu patted her hands and said softly:

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't have a dowry. From today on, all my assets will be handed over to you. Okay?"

Gu Ruoxi asked worriedly:

"Is it much?"

Nangong Yu thought for a moment:

"It should be more than those dowries."

The conversation between the two people made everyone in the room dumbfounded.

Does Nangong Yu have a lot of assets?

Is there any need to ask this?

As everyone in the capital knows, the late emperor has awarded Nangong Yu with various rare treasures, shops and farms over the years. Moreover, he has a Changyong Marquis Mansion behind him.

There is also a Jiangnan Xie family!

Moreover, Prince Gu, who was quite familiar with Nangong Yu, naturally knew that Nangong Yu was also very good at business.

So, when Nangong Yu said that he would give all his assets to Gu Ruoxi, even Prince Gu was jealous.

Gu Ruolan even clenched her toes quietly.

She had learned how to manage household business, and when she was learning, Xiao Huang used Nangong Yu's property to teach her.

Based on their roughly summarized assets that everyone knew about at the time, Nangong Yu's assets were several times more than her dowry.

What's more, after Gu Ruolan became a widow in her previous life, Xie Qingrou gave all of Nangong Yu's and Xie Qingrou's properties to her.

At that time, it was to let her take care of the adopted child with peace of mind. He also said that all these properties would be left to the child in the future.

Gu Ruolan thought again of Nangong Chen, who was adopted as her son in her previous life. She still remembered that child calling her mother in a baby voice, but she had never really liked him.

I also remember the child fishing out the cold body from the lake. He was a tiny person, and his clothes were wet and stuck to his body, making him look even smaller.

Not long after the child died, Xie Qingrou also died.

In that room, I, a widow, was left alone to guard so many assets, which attracted the covetousness of others.

That's why someone took advantage of the situation and seduced me.

Yes, someone else seduced me.

Gu Ruolan would never think that she had failed to behave like a good woman.

Yes, in my previous life, I was harmed by all that money.

This is how she now defines the detour she took in her previous life.

Now she heard that Nangong Yu was going to give all his property to Gu Ruoxi. She was not jealous at all. She felt that the girl who had never worn a new piece of clothing would be easier to fall into the trap.

Gu Ruolan seemed to have imagined Gu Ruoxi's future in her eyes, and she was walking on the path of her previous life.

But when she turned around and saw Nangong Yu, she clenched her teeth again.

It’s different, completely different. In the previous life, these two people were dead!

There was an indescribable light in Gu Ruolan's eyes. No one knew what she was thinking of, but her face was twisted with an inexplicable excitement, which looked scary.

When Nangong Yu talked about taking Shu's indenture, Qin Mingyuan looked at Nangong Yu and began to think deeply.

The person behind him had already told him what the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was like.

Saving Gu Ruolan's life was to preserve the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

I thought that with the Shu family here, the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion was involved with the Changyong Marquis' Mansion.

But unexpectedly, Nangong Yu did this and wanted to take Shu away directly.

This was Qin Mingyuan's first time at Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and he was not yet familiar enough to interfere in Gu family affairs, so the most he did was to add fuel to the fire by saying that he wanted to return the dowry, and he did not dare to say anything else.

But unexpectedly, what Nangong Yu cared about was not the dowry, nor did he feel humiliated by marrying a concubine's daughter.

He really wanted to stand up for Gu Ruoxi.

Qin Mingyuan thought of this and looked up at Gu Ruoxi, who almost became his woman.

It just so happened that Gu Ruoxi was looking at Nangong Yu with admiration. Now, Nangong Yu stepped in and rescued her mother from this mansion, and also got a house.

Although she didn't know how valuable the house was, seeing that the Marquis's wife and Master Gu were against it, and even Nangong Yu was interested in it, it meant that it was a good house.

There is no way to compare, so we can only make some judgments based on their reactions. Gu Ruoxi thinks Nangong Yu is really amazing!

It seems that with such a person standing in front of him, his plan of lying down can be completely realized.

Qin Mingyuan's gaze didn't affect Gu Ruoxi at all.

Just at this moment, Lord Gu's attendant came over with a box in his hand. Just as he was about to hand it to Lord Gu, Xiao Huang took two steps forward and snatched the box in her hands:

"No, I can't give you that house no matter what."
