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

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows. This was consistent with Qi Xingzhou's mother's character.

She looked at Qi Xingzhou with a half-smile: "Regardless of whether it was the wrong bride or not, carrying the bride's dowry to the old lady's courtyard, is this the rule of your mansion? It's really impressive!"

Qi Xingzhou's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It must be my mother who was afraid that you would lose your things because there would be too many people in the mansion today, so she carried it over to keep it for you temporarily!"

After saying that, he took the lead and led people to the marquis's yard to carry things.

He did it not for Ruan Shuyan's dowry, but for his own face.

Ruan Shuyan followed slowly behind.

Having lived this life over again, she now just wanted to get her dowry back and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. She felt sick if she stayed a second longer.

So she winked at her personal maid Chuntao, who understood and immediately took seven or eight smart servants to go to Ruan's house to report the news!

As the crowd arrived at the gate of the marquis's courtyard, they heard laughter coming from inside.

"Mother, I never thought that the Ruan family would give so many good things as a dowry. There are more than a hundred East China Sea Night Pearls alone. How generous they are!"

"My dear child, once these things enter the Marquis' Mansion, they will belong to us. When you get married in the future, mother will inlay all these night-shining pearls on your wedding dress and make you the most popular bride in Shengjing!"

"Thank you, mother. Please give me these jeweled headpieces as well. I'm going to attend a flower-viewing banquet in a couple of days, and they'll be perfect for me to wear!"

"Okay, okay... I'll give it all to you! It's yours anyway!"

Everyone outside heard clearly the conversation between the Marquis's wife and the second daughter of the Marquis's family, Qi Mingzhu.

Ruan Shuyan couldn't hide the sarcasm in her eyes.

Qi Xingzhou felt his face burning, and he threw his sleeves in anger and pushed open the door: "Mother! This marriage is wrong!"

The marquis's wife was startled and quickly asked someone to close all the boxes.

But everyone saw that all eighty-eight dowries were opened, and the Marquis's wife seemed to be inspecting her own things, examining each one.

Qi Mingzhu was even more greedy and put all the pearl and jade jewelry on herself, with a proud look on her face.

Qi Xingzhou's face turned red, and he felt like his face was being stepped on. He was so angry that he rushed forward to snatch the things and threw them into the box, gritting his teeth.

"Mother, these are Ruan Shuyan's dowry. We don't want them. Let her take her things and leave!"

The Marquis’s eyes widened and her heart broke.

"What did you say? Take away?"

"I disagree!"

She and Qi Mingzhu spoke almost at the same time.

Ruan Shuyan walked in gracefully, her eyes and brows gentle, with the expected calmness.

She gave a look, and Lai Mama immediately rushed over with her loyal maid, snatched the things away, put them in the box and sealed it.

Qi Mingzhu was so angry that her eyes turned red. She turned around and glared at Ruan Shuyan fiercely.

"No matter whether her marriage is right or wrong, you entered my mansion in public, so you should be my wife, and these things should belong to the mansion!"

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows.

She didn't say anything, but Lai Mama, the dowry manager beside her, laughed out loud: "Not to mention that this marriage was wrong in the first place, even if she married in properly, it's not logical for the dowry to go to her husband's family. If this gets out, everyone in Shengjing will laugh their heads off."

Qi Mingzhu's face turned pale and blue.

Qi Xingzhou immediately protected his sister behind him and said to Ruan Shuyan with a frown and cold eyes: "Is this how you condone the people around you to commit crimes against their superiors?"

Ruan Shuyan looked at him calmly and smiled: "If you think that what Mrs. Lai said is wrong, why not tell others what Miss Qi said and let them judge what is right and wrong."

"You!" Qi Xingzhou was so angry that his chest heaved and he stared at her fiercely.

Madam Hou took two steps forward and held Ruan Shuyan's hand: "Good child, your sister is straightforward. Although her words may sound a little harsh, they make sense."

"You have already entered my mansion. If you leave today, the dowry will be secondary. I am afraid that your reputation will be ruined. Who will dare to marry you in the future?"

There was false kindness in her eyes and greed in her heart.

If Ruan Shuyan is left behind, her generous dowry will belong to the Marquis's Mansion.

"If you are willing, I will make the decision and let you be Xingzhou's concubine. I will support you. If he dares to bully you in the future, I will not allow it."

Ruan Shuyan knew this family too well.

One played the good guy and the other played the bad guy, and they easily devoured the person's flesh and blood.

It was the same in my previous life.

It was her fault for being too naive in her previous life, and wanting to make the best of a bad situation. In this life, even if Ruan Shuhuan hadn't come to force her, she would never jump into the fire pit!

In the Qihou Mansion, whoever wants to marry can marry, she doesn’t care anyway!

She pulled her hand out of the Marquis's hand, her eyes were gentle and she said, "Thank you for your kindness, Marquis. However, my parents are still alive and my marriage is decided by me. I have sent someone to send a letter back, and they will send someone to pick me up."

This was the reason why the Marquis' Mansion gave up the idea of ​​detaining her here.

The corner of the Marquis's mouth twitched violently, her smile was a little forced, and her tone was a little tough: "Child, I really like you and I care about you. If you ruin your reputation, do you want to shave your head and become a nun? Wouldn't that bring shame to your family? How can you still live with dignity?"

Ruan Shuyan's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "I have done nothing wrong, and I have never coveted other people's property. Why do I feel ashamed, and why should I be afraid of what others say?"

These words were neither soft nor hard, but they made the Marquis's face burn with pain.

She just wants Ruan Shuyan's dowry.

Seeing that she was so unmoved, the Marquis's wife simply rolled her eyes, covered her chest, and pretended to be dizzy and uncomfortable.

"Forget it! Since you don't appreciate my kindness, I won't force you to stay..."

Qi Mingzhu, who was standing beside her, immediately supported her and turned to glare at Ruan Shuyan.

"You are too ungrateful. If you didn't covet the status of my mansion, how could you do such a shameful thing as exchanging marriages? My mother is doing this for you out of kindness, but you are so ungrateful!"

Ruan Shuhuan also spoke up at the right time: "Second sister, this is a bit too much. After all, Madam is the elder. If you are dissatisfied, you can come to me. Why embarrass Madam?"

Ruan Shuyan ignored her and directed people to move the dowry.

Qi Xingzhou's eyes were burning with anger, as if he had reached the limit of his patience, and he shouted angrily: "Ruan Shuyan, you are never going to stop making trouble, right? You are just making trouble with me. Now you are bullying my mother. You are really low-minded and have no sense of propriety or shame!"

"Even if Shuhua wasn't around, I wouldn't even look at you! You make me sick!"

Ruan Shuyan looked up at her coldly: "If that's the case, why don't you just let me go instead of bothering me?"

Qi Xingzhou was furious and wanted to tell her to get out.

The Marquis’ wife grabbed him and patted her chest, saying weakly, “Forget it. It’s okay for her to leave if she wants to. But it’s late today. If we let her leave like this, outsiders will not know how to make up stories about our Marquis’ Mansion. Let her family take her back tomorrow!”

After saying that, he looked at Ruan Shuyan, his brows darkened a little: "This is the biggest concession our mansion has made! For the reputation of the mansion, we can't let you go today!"

Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips. Although her dowry was large, she was no match for the guards of the Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis' Mansion wouldn't let her go, and she couldn't get out.

The only solution now is to wait for her people to go to the Ruan Mansion to ask for help. But I wonder if her people can successfully send the letter of wrong marriage? !

"In that case, I will wait a little longer. I just hope that the Marquis' Mansion will keep its word and stop bothering me!" She glanced at everyone coldly and left with her people.

The new house was prepared for Ruan Shuhuan and Qi Xingzhou. She also felt sick and didn't want to go back.

The marquis's mansion arranged another courtyard for her.

Ruan Shuyan didn't dare to sleep at night, so she asked her people to guard various places in the yard, taking turns to keep watch and not let anyone in.

She knew too well the bad nature of these people in the Marquis' Mansion; they would not let go of her dowry!

Sure enough, two people came in the middle of the night, trying to sneak in over the wall, but they were caught red-handed. They were so scared that they ran away crawling.

No one dared to come after that.

Ruan Shuyan dared to take a short nap in the second half of the night, and was awakened just after dawn.

"Miss Ruan, our lady wants you to come over." The housekeeper beside the marquis' wife stood in front of her with drooping eyelids, followed by a few burly old women.

This was to force her to go over.

Ruan Shuyan had an indifferent expression and followed them calmly.

As soon as she stepped into the door, the maid handed her a tray without saying anything and said with a smile: "Madam, it's time to serve tea to the lady."
