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

Xie Yuchun and Xie Yurui were in a stalemate, neither of them giving in.

As time passed, the noise in the mansion became quieter and quieter.

An hour later, Madam Xie came over and asked everyone to come over.

"Mother."

In Qingfeng Courtyard, Ruan Shuyan followed Xie Yuchun into the house, greeted Old Madam Xie, and then stepped aside.

There were quite a few people in the room, but the most conspicuous one was Xie Linlin. She was lying on Old Madam Xie's legs, dirty all over, looking very pitiful, with no trace of her previous arrogance at all.

Suddenly, Old Madam Xie clapped her hands and asked the maid beside her to take Xie Linlin away. Then she changed her tone and pointed the finger at Xie Yuchun.

"Linlin's yard was burned down. Yuchun, as the eldest brother, shouldn't you take the lead in handling it?"

Xie Yuchun nodded, and then said: "But the cause of this matter has not been clarified yet. Even if we want to deal with it, we have to wait until Linlin calms down. What do you think?"

Madam Xie said in a bad tone: "Linlin has already been wronged, why do we have to wait for her to calm down? Yuchun, she is your sister."

"Because she is my sister, I have to be more cautious, unless my mother wants someone else to handle this matter."

Xie Yuchun was not affected by Old Madam Xie at all. When he talked about other people, he even glanced at Xie Yurui.

Madam Xie saw this and her expression suddenly turned cold: "Brother is like a father. You should handle this matter. I just hope you can handle it carefully and don't make any problems."

"Please rest assured, mother. There will be absolutely no problem with this matter."

Xie Yuchun bowed and left with Ruan Shuyan.

Outside Qingfeng Courtyard, he pinched his brows and said, "It's not dawn yet, go back and rest for a while."

"Okay, if there's any problem you can't handle, just have someone come to me."

Ruan Shuyan left without hesitation and returned to her room, but she was no longer sleepy.

Lai's mother and Chuntao were there with him, both of them with a hint of worry on their faces.

Chun Tao said, "Miss, there are too many things going on in the Xie family, one after another. I always feel that something is not right. Are they targeting you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lai's mother patted her arm and whispered, "Speak less, be careful of ears."

Chun Tao turned her head and looked outside, saying disapprovingly: "The people in this courtyard are all brought by the Ruan family, what could be the problem?"

"People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Who knows who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted? Trouble always comes from the mouth. Be careful."

Mother Lai tried to persuade Chuntao earnestly, but Chuntao covered her ears and repeatedly said that she would not listen.

Ruan Shuyan looked at him with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, perhaps she relaxed. Suddenly, sleepiness came over her, making her cover her mouth and yawn.

"You guys go down, I'll sleep a little longer."

"Yes."

The door was closed, isolating the noise from inside and outside.

When Ruan Shuyan opened her eyes again, it was already noon. When she was having breakfast, the Xie family's housekeeper rushed in.

"Madam, something bad has happened. There are a group of people outside who say they are looking for you."

"Find me?"

Ruan Shuyan was puzzled: "Did you say why?"

"No, I just yelled for you to come over."

Ruan Shuyan moved her fingertips slightly, and went to the gate of Xie's house with doubts. Unexpectedly, as soon as she showed up, there were people kneeling on the ground in front of her.

"Ms. Ruan is truly kind-hearted!"

"Thank you Miss Ruan for saving our lives."

"..."

Praises came one after another.

Ruan Shuyan was confused. Seeing that the noises were getting louder and louder, she could only bring the old man in front into the mansion.

After a moment, Ruan Shuyan, who had figured out the situation, fell silent. All these people came because of the medicinal herbs that Chen Yuntang had given her yesterday.

But she didn't agree to Chen Yuntang yesterday, so why did the news get out?

"Ms. Ruan, are you okay? Did I say something wrong and make you unhappy?"

The old man being questioned showed panic on his face, and after he finished speaking, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Ruan Shuyan quickly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, old man. I just don't understand who spread this news."

The old man was stunned: "Who, who spread it? Miss Ruan, what do you mean by this?"

Although it was a bit cruel, Ruan Shuyan still told him the truth.

"I didn't ask anyone to prepare the herbs, so this news... is problematic."

The old man fell silent, and after a while he lowered his head: "Does that mean we can't get those herbs?"

Ruan Shuyan shook her head slightly: "It's not that I can't get it. Please tell me the purpose of the herbs first, and we can talk about the rest later."

Hope rose in the old man's heart: "We are here to save people, many people."

"Where are those people?"

"Beicheng."

The old man hesitated, then lowered his voice and said, "You may not know that there is a place in the north city that is specially used to take in disaster victims from outside. However, after the disaster, they did not return to their hometowns."

It turned out to be the case.

Ruan Shuyan suddenly realized that she really didn't know there was such a place in the capital. No wonder the quantity of medicinal materials on the list given by Chen Yuntang was so large.

The issue is……

"Do you only need the herbs? Where are the doctors? Are there enough people to take care of the patients?"

Ruan Shuyan asked a few questions and the old man answered them one by one.

"There is a doctor in the north city. There are not many people to take care of the patients, but if someone can help, it can be done."

Ruan Shuyan learned some more about the situation, so she sent the old man away and asked Chuntao to go back to the Ruan family.

"Let Brother Huo help me check what happened in Beicheng."

"it is good."

The people at the gate of the mansion gradually dispersed because of Ruan Shuyan's statement.

After confirming that no one was staying intentionally, Ruan Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Miss, it's time for breakfast." Mrs. Lai reminded her.

Ruan Shuyan nodded: "Send it here. By the way, how is Xie Linlin's situation going?"

"It's over. It seems that the son-in-law gave something and Miss Xie let it go."

Ruan Shuyan held her cheek with one hand: "What did you give?"

"I don't know. It was kept secret before. No one knew what was given except the son-in-law and Miss Xie."

Is that the case?

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes, but anything that could make Xie Linlin give in must not be simple.

On the other side, Xie Linlin looked at the banknotes in front of her, then glanced at the gold and silver jewelry next to it, and her eyebrows immediately became crescents.

"Mom, look, my brother gave me a lot of things."

Madam Xie glanced at them coldly and said, "They are just vulgar things. No matter how much you give them, they are useless. If he really wants to give them away, he should give you a few shops as a dowry."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Xie Linlin's face disappeared. She was well aware of the difference between material possessions and a shop, but being poured cold water when she was happy still made Xie Linlin unhappy.

"My eldest brother will definitely be willing to do so. He loved me the most in the past."

Madam Xie was very disappointed: "In the past, he would definitely be willing to give it up, but now that Ruan Shuyan is here, that's not necessarily the case. Forget it, you won't listen to me even if I tell you to. Keep these things away and don't move them without my permission."
