The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

The word "brother" made Xie Linlin speechless, and then she became angry.

"Ever since Ruan Shuyan married into the Xie family, my brother has become weird. We are obviously his family, so why is he so obsessed with..."

"Linlin!"

Madam Xie suddenly spoke up, gave Xie Linlin a warning look, and said solemnly: "Your second brother will be back in the next two days. With the Shangshu Mansion here, many things will go smoothly. You don't have to take the lead. Do you understand?"

Xie Linlin blinked: "I understand. I'll listen to mother."

Madam Xie touched her forehead, and the solemnity on her face gradually disappeared. She sighed and said, "I will definitely find a good marriage for you."

The next day, just after Xie Yuchun came out of the morning court, he was stopped by the Minister of Revenue Chen Wen.

"Thank you, sir, for staying."

Xie Yuchun bowed and said, "Meet Mr. Chen."

Chen Wen clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "I heard that Yu Rui and Yun Tang are coming back soon?"

Chen Wen is the father-in-law of Xie Yurui, the second son of the Xie family. His daughter Chen Yuntang married into the Xie family earlier, but it is a pity that Xie Yurui has always been unknown.

Xie Yuchun nodded: "I guess it will be within the next two days."

"That's pretty quick. When he comes back, ask him to come to Chen's house and tell him that I have something I want to talk to him about."

Xie Yuchun smiled and agreed: "I will definitely pass on the message."

Chen Wen glanced at him, and his expression suddenly changed as if something had happened to him. But soon, he left as if nothing had happened.

Watching him go away, Xie Yuchun lowered his eyes slightly, and at this moment, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you, sir. Do you have time today?"

When Xie Yuchun turned around, he saw a smiling young man, who was his colleague Guan Zhongyu.

This person was the former top scholar, extremely talented and learned. He was away for only one year before he was called back to the capital by the emperor to work.

"Master Guan, do you have something to ask Xie?"

"Nothing, I just invited some colleagues to go to Xinghua Tower for a chat. I wonder if Master Xie would like to come with us?"

Upon hearing the words "Xinghualou", Xie Yuchun pretended to sigh helplessly: "I am honored to be invited by Lord Guan, but I have some things to do at home, so I can only fail to live up to Lord Guan's kindness."

Xinghua Tower is a place of fireworks, which he usually looks down upon, so why would he set foot there today?

Thinking of this, Xie Yuchun bowed and walked away.

Guan Zhongyu immediately caught up with him, looking at him with an experienced look on his face: "Master Xie, are you worried about your new marriage? It's okay, just go and sit for a while, the young lady from the Ruan family will definitely not mind."

Xie Yuchun pulled the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold: "Master Guan, as a person in the court, do you care about other people's harem?"

Guan Zhongyu's expression froze: "Master Xie really loves to joke around. Why would a man like me care about the backyard?"

"Since you don't care about the harem, then look at the previous dynasty. The natural disaster outside has not been resolved yet, and the court ministers went to Xinghua Tower. Once the news gets out..."

Xie Yuchun gave Guan Zhongyu a meaningful look and left.

At the same time, Ruan Shuyan learned from Lai's mother that the second son of the Xie family was coming back.

"I heard that the second young master was very much liked by the master of the Xie family. When he was alive, he directly let him get married first, bypassing our son-in-law."

Ruan Shuyan knew about this: "As I recall, he married the daughter of Minister Chen of the Ministry of Revenue, right?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Lai nodded, and then lowered her voice: "Miss, I also heard a piece of news that I don't know whether it is true or not."

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows slightly and signaled Lai's mother to speak directly.

"It seems that the marriage of the Shangshu's daughter was arranged for our son-in-law."

Ruan Shuyan paused for a long time, then curled her lips and said, "You also said that it was news you didn't know whether it was true or not, so don't mention it again in the future."

Ending the topic, she asked about the recent earnings of the shop: "Can we buy some food and send it to disaster relief?"

Mother Lai's face was full of worry: "Miss, Madam has already sent 10,000 shi of grain in the name of the Ruan family. If we take action here, I'm afraid it will cause a big disturbance."

Ruan Shuyan curved her eyebrows and said, "Who said that we should send it in the name of the Ruan family? It was because my husband was concerned about the country and the people, and couldn't bear to see the people suffer, that he specially used his salary to prepare the food. This is a small token of my husband and the Xie family's love."

Mother Lai wanted to say something, but seeing the young lady's smiling face, she said nothing and turned to deliver the message to the steward.

Ruan Shuyan walked to the door and smiled slightly as she looked at the rolling clouds in the sky.

Husband and wife advance and retreat together. If she wants to protect Xie Yuchun, she must make arrangements in advance. When Xie Yuchun's reputation increases, even if the emperor wants to take action against him... he will have some concerns.

There are so many things that money can do!

Just as I was thinking about it, a figure appeared at the gate of the yard.

The two looked at each other. Ruan Shuyan stood where she was, smiling as Xie Yuchun came to her.

"Did you have a smooth court session today?"

"Of course it went smoothly. I heard that you haven't left the house for the past two days. Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Ruan Shuyan pointed outside the door and said, "It's going to rain today."

Xie Yuchun looked in the direction her finger pointed. At some point, the sun was covered by dark clouds and the wind was blowing, bringing gusts of cool air.

Seeing this, Xie Yuchun could only give up his plan to leave.

The two chatted for a while, and then the Xie family's housekeeper suddenly came over.

"Sir, the old lady is not feeling well and wants to see you."

Xie Yuchun frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say no, he heard Ruan Shuyan say, "Sir, go and take a look. The old lady is old, so the younger generation should be more careful."

She spoke so gently that Xie Yuchun's eyes were touched and he nodded after a long time.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

As soon as Xie Yuchun left, heavy rain began to fall.

The temperature in May is not that high, but the rain makes people feel very comfortable.

Mrs. Lai turned back holding an umbrella and said, "Miss, everything has been arranged according to your instructions."

Ruan Shuyan nodded, picked up the teacup at hand, sipped tea while looking outside the house. The splashing raindrops had an indescribable beauty.

The next morning, Ruan Shuyan was having breakfast when she heard Lai Mama say, "The main gate has been opened. The second young master should be coming back today."

Ruan Shuyan nodded and did not respond to Lai Mama's question. When she had almost used up the medicine, she asked about Xie Yuchun.

Mother Lai handed over a handkerchief and said, "Look at the sky. My son-in-law should be back soon."

Ruan Shuyan wiped her hands and said, "Let's go to Qingfeng Courtyard."

Let her see what kind of person this second son of the Xie family is?

Qingfengyuan.

Old Madam Xie sat at the top with a smile on her face, next to her was Xie Linlin who was acting coquettishly. There was laughter and joy, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

However, as soon as Ruan Shuyan appeared, the harmony disappeared and was replaced by stiffness.

Ruan Shuyan smiled slightly, as if she didn't notice the change, and stepped forward and bowed: "Hello, mother."

Madam Xie nodded and said, "Please sit down. The second son is bringing Yuntang back today. As his sister-in-law, you should have a good chat with Yuntang."

As he was speaking, a report came from outside the door.

"Madam, the carriage has appeared."
