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

For the second time's key, Ruan Shuyan directly asked Lai's mother to send it away. Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Lai's mother brought the key back.

"Miss, she doesn't want it."

Ruan Shuyan rubbed her fingertips and said, "Then send it to the Second Young Master."

Chen Yuntang can resist the urge to do so, but Xie Yurui may not be able to.

On this side, Ruan Shuyan was busy delivering the keys.

On the other side, Ruan Shuhuan was forced to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as she returned to her residence, she saw Qi Xingzhou who was drunk, and her expression instantly sank.

"Someone is coming."

A servant poked his head out: "Princess, what do you want?"

Ruan Shuhuan pointed at the person on the bed and asked, "Where did the prince go last night? Who accompanied him?"

The servant shrank his neck and said, "I don't know about this either."

Ruan Shuhuan was so angry that she laughed and walked up to him and slapped him.

"What a confusing sentence! I think you don't regard me as your master, so you want to fool me? Immediately, call the people who accompanied the prince yesterday!"

The servant covered his beaten face with his hands, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head to hide this fate.

"Yes, I'll go get them right away."

After a moment, six servants knelt in the yard.

As soon as Ruan Shuhuan went out, Qi Mingyu ran over. When he saw the scene in the yard, he couldn't help but sigh.

"With such a big scene, is sister-in-law going to set some rules?"

Ruan Shuhuan didn't expect her to come over. There was a little panic in her eyes, but then she calmed down.

"Your brother went out of the house yesterday, and these people accompanied him. They didn't even know how to stop him from drinking. Your brother got drunk and he hasn't woken up yet. Tell me, should I set some rules?"

Qi Mingyu frowned. Just when Ruan Shuhuan thought she would agree with her, she said the exact opposite.

"As a servant, how can I block the wine for my master?"

Ruan Shuhuan was startled: "Mingyu, what do you mean?"

Qi Mingyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Those who can let my brother drink are people of equal status. If these servants really step forward to block the wine, sister-in-law, how will people outside talk about the Marquis' Mansion?"

Ruan Shuhuan was shocked, her fingertips trembling unconsciously: "Mingyu, that's wine, drinking too much is harmful to your health."

Qi Mingyu smiled, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes: "Are you really just acting like this because you're drunk?"

of course not.

Ruan Shuhuan was just angry. She didn't want Qi Xingzhou to have a mistress, but her parents didn't care, so she could only suppress her resentment and vent her anger in another way.

There was a flash of sarcasm in Qi Mingyu's eyes. She still remembered Ruan Shuhuan's remarks. However, she was here for other matters today and could not fall out with Ruan Shuhuan.

Thinking about this, Qi Mingyu lowered his voice and said, "I can understand that my sister-in-law is angry. I also sympathize with her situation, but..."

Qi Mingyu pursed her lips: "But what?"

"I've been missing a lot of things lately. As long as sister-in-law is willing to buy them for me, I'll help her. After all, I'm his sister, and my words are more useful than others."

Ruan Shuhuan wanted to refuse, but after hearing the last part, she hesitated.

If Qi Mingyu was willing to help her, maybe she could really stabilize Qi Xingzhou.

Seeing that she remained silent, Qi Mingyu continued, "Don't hesitate. There are so many things going on in and out of the mansion right now. I am willing to help you. It's already..."

"what do you want?"

Qi Mingyu curved his eyebrows and said, "Give me some money."

Ruan Shuhuan frowned: "What do you want the money for?"

"I've already said that I'm buying new things. I've met a niece of Princess Duan, and I've heard a lot about Prince Duan. This matter concerns the Marquis' Mansion, so it shouldn't be a problem for my sister-in-law, right?"

Crown Prince Duan? Prince Duan's Mansion!

If Qi Mingyu could become the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Duan's Mansion, wouldn't that be...

But Qi Mingyu wanted money, and she didn't have much on her.

Ruan Shuhuan's eyes flickered, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Qi Mingyu was unhappy: "Sister-in-law, why don't you say anything? Don't you believe me?"

"No, it's just that I may not be able to give you the money you want."

Ruan Shuhuan can spend money on Qi Xingzhou, but Qi Mingyu cannot, even if she gets permission.

Can’t give?

Qi Mingyu's eyebrows raised instantly, and he could see Ruan Shuhuan's thoughts at a glance.

Humph, since she has come here, there is no way she will go back empty-handed.

Thinking about it, she said bluntly: "Can't give it or don't want to give it? People say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother... That's all, I thought too highly of my sister-in-law. I thought my sister-in-law was the same as Ruan Shuyan."

Ruan Shuyan?

The three words that suddenly appeared attracted Ruan Shuhuan's attention.

"Why did you mention her?"

Hooked.

A hint of pride flashed across Qi Mingyu's eyes.

"Of course it's because Xie Linlin got her help. The Ruan family sent gold mines and food, and she sent a batch of food in the name of the Xie family. Now Princess Duan has a good impression of Xie Linlin, unlike me, alas!"

Ruan Shuhuan froze, her lips trembling uncontrollably: "When was it delivered? Why is there no news from the outside world?"

"It was sent before the banquet was held at Prince Duan's Mansion. As for why there was no news, I'm not sure why. But this was said by Princess Duan herself, so it should be correct."

Speaking of this, Qi Mingyu couldn't help but compare Ruan Shuhuan and Ruan Shuyan.

The former married into the Marquis's mansion, but her dowry was too small and she acted very stingy, unlike the latter...

She glanced at Ruan Shuhuan and felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Sister-in-law, you..."

"It's just a little money, isn't it? Come with me into the house."

Ruan Shuhuan clenched her fingers, and her experience at the Ruan family came to her mind, causing her emotions to instantly spiral out of control.

She can compare with Ruan Shuyan, and Qi Mingyu can compare with Xie Linlin.

After a while, Qi Mingyu left with a few banknotes, with the corners of his mouth raised high and never lowered.

In the room, Ruan Shuhuan dismissed all the servants. She pondered for an afternoon and finally made a decision.

She not only wants Qi Xingzhou, but also wants to take away everything that belongs to Ruan Shuyan. She wants Ruan Shuyan to have nothing!

"Ah!"

Ruan Shuyan suddenly sneezed, and in an instant, the eyes of Lai Mama and Chuntao all fell on her face.

Chun Tao asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a little itchy."

Ruan Shuyan replied casually, then turned to ask Mother Lai about the situation of the servants in the mansion.

"It's almost all arranged, but Qingfeng Courtyard... can't be reached for the time being."

Ruan Shuyan smiled: "No hurry, take your time."

The next day, the medicinal herbs prepared by Ruan Shuyan were delivered to North City.

Chuntao followed him around and came back with an envelope.

"This is what the third brother gave to me."

Ruan Shuyan took the envelope, opened it, and after carefully reading the contents, her brows instantly frowned.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Looking at Mrs. Lai's concerned expression, Ruan Shuyan handed over the letter.

"Nothing?"

Mother Lai pointed out the main point and suddenly realized: "Is this about the assassination of my son-in-law?"

Ruan Shuyan nodded: "There is something wrong with this result."

Mother Lai folded up the letter and asked, "What does the young lady mean?"

"It was delivered too late."

If I really hadn't asked, this letter should have been delivered yesterday.

Mother Lai thought for a moment and proposed another possibility: "Could it be that they are waiting for the medicinal materials to arrive?"

"Maybe there is..."

Ruan Shuyan just opened her mouth when another voice appeared: "What are you talking about?"
