Gu Ruoxi stood up suddenly and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu really felt angry and amused:

"what are you doing?"

Gu Ruoxi said anxiously:

"Madam Hou has no moral principles. Lord Gu had promised to give it to us, but she wanted to snatch it away."

In the last days, if anyone wants to steal her things, there will be many people who will help her get them back.

Because they all wanted to be healed by her, so in Gu Ruoxi's world, nothing that was promised to be theirs had ever been taken away by someone else.

Nangong Yu said lightly:

"Don't worry, what's yours will definitely be yours. I'm here with you."

Gu Ruoxi snorted, sat down again, and glared at Xiao Huang with eyes that looked like they were about to burst into flames.

The dowry was promised to be returned, but they didn't give it away.

Gu Ruoxi sat down and stretched out her hand:

"Where's my mother's indenture?"

Generally speaking, we should get our mother's indenture first.

Although the old marquis's wife also looked down on Xiao Huang's behavior, she thought it was too embarrassing in front of her two sons-in-law.

But he was still very annoyed by Gu Ruoxi's righteous request for a body contract:

"Who promised to give her a birth contract? She is your father's woman, and your father is still alive. How could he let his woman go out? There is no precedent for this in the entire Shangjing."

Gu Ruoxi nodded and said:

"There are many precedents that have never been seen in the capital: for example, the change of the bridal sedan, the return of the dowry, and the case of the marquis's wife snatching things. If you say there is no precedent, we can create one now."

"you……"

The old marquis's wife didn't expect that Gu Ruoxi would block her response with just one word.

She wanted to say something else, but she heard Lord Gu say coldly:

"Bring the box here."

He was talking to the Marquis's wife, Xiao Huang.

But Xiao Huang said firmly:

"No! This is the inheritance left by the old marquis, and it can only be passed on to the descendants of the Gu family. She is a woman who is not even a concubine, and she gave birth to a whore who is not even on the family tree. How dare she..."

She hadn't finished her words yet.

Everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and then heard a "pop" sound.

The Marquis's wife fell to the ground, and the box in her arms fell to the ground and hit Gu Ruolan's feet.

"oops!"

Gu Ruolan burst into tears in pain. It was a golden nanmu box with four corners covered with iron sheets. It was specially used to store valuables.

If this thing hits your foot, it really hurts!

It wasn’t just Gu Ruolan who cried out in pain, but also Madam Hou who fell to the ground.

The man who beat her stood in the middle of the room, glaring at Madam Hou and saying:

"Does it hurt? If you curse again, I'll hit you again! What a bitch, you are the one!"

Nangong Yu’s face turned pale.

But it doesn't blame him for not dragging Gu Ruoxi to beat someone up.

Madam Xiao Huang, the wife of Marquis Gu, deserves to be beaten.

Xiao Huang was stunned. After being the marquis's wife for so many years, who would dare to slap her in the face?

Now I was slapped hard in the face, and it really hurt.

I could see his face swelling up.

Little Huang was so angry that her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. She stood up with the help of her daughter-in-law Yang and Nanny Zhu, pointing at Gu Ruoxi and yelling:

"Someone, catch her and beat her to death."

"you dare!"

Nangong Yu shouted.

Qingqiu quickly stepped forward and pulled Gu Ruoxi back. Gu Ruoxi was so angry that her face turned red. She felt very aggrieved. The people who stole her things also scolded her. Since she entered this family, they have been trying to suppress her and her mother in every way.

She has been holding it in for a long time.

I didn't expect that she would curse after stealing things!

If you really can’t bear it anymore, there is no need to endure it anymore!

Following Nangong Yu's shout, Qingyi immediately stood in front of Gu Ruoxi.

I've learned my lesson this time. I have to protect the young lady too.

The few old women who were yelled in by Xiao Huang retreated immediately when they saw the sword in Qingyi's hand.

"How dare you! How dare you! Prince Nangong, do you still want to kill someone in our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?"

When the old marquis’ wife saw Qingyi draw out the sword, she was so angry that she trembled all over.

Nangong Yu said coldly:

"Why don't you dare!"

The five short words seemed to pop out one by one, and the temperature in the whole room suddenly dropped. Everyone felt a chill on their necks.

To be honest, if Nangong Yu really killed two people here, there would be no way to deal with Nangong Yu.

Lord Gu hurried forward and rebuked those old women:

"Get out!"

Then he picked up the box on the ground and took out the key from his waist to open it. The old marquis's wife also shouted:

"My Lord! Are you being bullied like this?"

Lord Gu looked at them coldly and said:

"Mom, which one would you rather have, one person die or everyone in the whole prefecture die?"

The old marquis’ wife was startled!

If young Huang is bullied, it is a slap in the face of old Huang.

But now his son said that it would be okay if Xiao Huang died, otherwise, everyone in the whole prefecture would die.

The people in a mansion include himself and his children and grandchildren!

So...is it because of the piece of paper that Nangong Yu took out?

What's on that piece of paper? Can it kill everyone in the prefecture?

The old marquis' wife naturally knew that every mansion had some hidden things. And now it seemed that their mansion also had some secrets. There was also a matter that would kill everyone in the mansion, and it was in Nangong Yu's hands.

She wanted to know what it was about, and Qin Mingyuan also figured it out, he also wanted to know what it was about!

The old marquis's wife remained silent. The marquis used two keys to open the two locks, then took out a house deed and handed it to Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu handed it directly to Gu Ruoxi. Gu Ruoxi didn’t seem to think the paper was precious and handed it directly to Shu.

"Mom, take a look."

Shu was trembling.

She actually didn't know where Corning Street was, but they all said it was a good place, so it must be very good and valuable.

But can I really live alone?

Lord Gu locked the box again and handed it to his attendant. He turned around and called out:

"Madam Zhu, go get Shu's indenture."

Xiao Huang was so angry that she was beaten. Not only did Lord Gu not support her, but he also tried to please her.

"You are not allowed to go! When they bring the dowry, I will give you the indenture contract!"

With the master around, Nanny Yang and Genbo, who had been useless, had been guarding the yard outside. At this time, Nangong Yu called out:

"Uncle Gen, Madam Yang, go back and bring back all the dowry that was brought home the day before yesterday. Remember, carry it back the same way you carried it at home."

Then he motioned Qingqiu to hand the house deed to Madam Yang and said:

"Madame Yang, take this back and ask my mother to find someone to clean up the yard and select someone from our house to serve Madam Shu. When you come back, send a carriage to pick Madam Shu up."

Then he said to Lord Gu:

"In addition, Lord Gu also needs to return our engagement token to me, as well as my engagement letter, and the marriage certificate between Ruoxi and Mr. Qin, shouldn't all of them be given to me?"
