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

The conversation in the imperial study did not last long.

That afternoon, Ruan Wen was confined to his house to reflect on himself.

When the news reached the Xie family, Ruan Shuyan slightly curled her lips.

Normally, the emperor would not intervene in this matter, but Xie Yuchun exposed the matter, and the second branch of the Ruan family had a reputation for disaster relief, so the emperor would naturally not sit idly by.

It's worth it that this matter has been delayed for so long. The eldest wife should be very honest from now on.

"Miss, the lady has sent something."

Chuntao's voice entered the room, and Ruan Shuyan pursed her lips and smiled softly: "What did you send?"

"This is Miss's favorite snack!"

Chuntao took out the snacks as she spoke.

Ruan Shuyan ate a piece and the smile on her lips deepened.

"Miss, you are so happy today. What good thing happened to you?"

Chuntao blinked and couldn't help but ask.

Ruan Shuyan looked at the snacks and said, "It is true that something good happened, but... I can't tell you."

Chun Tao said "oh" and picked up a cup of tea: "Miss, have some tea."

"Ah."

The next day, the construction of the North City was brought up.

Ruan Shuyan took Chuntao with her for a few days, and after making sure that there were no problems in North City, she temporarily put it aside and turned to work with the Bai family to take over the Ruan family's business.

On the other hand, Xie Yuchun was investigating the North City assassin, but his men couldn't find any clues after searching around.

Xie Yuchun knocked on the table: "If it's done, there will be no traces. Keep investigating."

After leaving the study, Xie Yuchun asked the servants in the mansion and learned that Ruan Shuyan had gone out again. He couldn't help but sigh.

His wife is busier than he is.

Just as I was thinking about it, a servant came running over.

"Sir, the old lady asks you to come over."

Xie Yuchun's expression calmed down, and after a few moments he nodded: "Let's go."

...

In the evening, Ruan Shuyan left the Bai family and as soon as she arrived at the door, she found that the door of the Xie family was closed.

Chuntao went up and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it after knocking for a long time.

"Miss, this...what should I do?"

Ruan Shuyan stared at the gate steadily, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth: "Let's go, to find my parents."

She didn't know whose idea it was, but it was a joke to keep her out.

Ruan Shan and Bai were having dinner and were quite surprised to see Ruan Shuyan coming back.

Bai asked, "Didn't you just go back? Why are you here again?"

"Of course I'm here to accompany mother. Doesn't mother want me to come?"

"Of course not. I'm so happy."

Ruan Shuyan didn't mention anything about the Xie family. She flirted with Bai for a while and then fell asleep here.

Bai and Ruan Shan exchanged glances and sent people to inquire about the situation.

The next day at noon, the Xie family's housekeeper brought people to the door and said, "We are here to pick up the lady from the mansion."

Bai's expression was indifferent: "You just opened your mouth and said to pick someone up. When did your Xie family's wife appear in my house?"

The housekeeper's face froze: "Madam, the wife of our Xie family is your daughter."

"Really?"

Bai smiled, but her eyes were cold: "Now that you admit it, why did you stop my daughter outside last night? I'm telling you, you want her to go back, right? Let Xie Yuchun come and pick her up!"

Here, the people from the Xie family were driven away.

On the other side of the Marquis' Mansion, Ruan Shuhuan frowned and looked at Qi Mingyu: "You took a lot of silver and left last time."

Qi Mingyu's eyes turned slightly: "Last time was last time, sister-in-law, I, I really need money now, please help me again."

Different from her previous strong personality, Qi Mingyu was obviously much softer today.

But Ruan Shuhuan knew that her sister-in-law was not a good person, and that her showing of weakness now was probably intended to take more things from her.

Life in the Marquis's Mansion was not comfortable to begin with, and something went wrong with the Ruan family.

She had clearly left the Xie family, so how come... she had become like this?

Ruan Shuhuan lowered her eyes and pinched the tender flesh of her palm with her fingertips.

If she waited a little longer, she would be able to escape from this situation.

"Go and invite the prince."

"what?"

Qi Mingyu jumped up first: "No, we can't let..."

Ruan Shuhua said calmly: "Do you want some silver?"

Qi Mingyu lost his voice, and said unwillingly: "Then there's no need to let my brother come."

Ruan Shuhuan smiled slightly: "My husband and I are like one person, so he has to ask for the money. If you have any questions, just leave."

Qi Mingyu came here for the money, so why would he leave?

In silence, Qi Xingzhou was invited over.

He looked around and then looked at Ruan Shuhua: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, sister..."

"Sister-in-law wants to give brother a surprise."

Qi Mingyu suddenly spoke, and both of them looked over to her.

Qi Xingzhou glanced at Ruan Shuhuan, his expression softened: "It's been a month since we got married, why are you still planning those surprises?"

marriage……

Only one month?

Ruan Shuhuan looked dazed for a moment, and said coquettishly, "Hasn't it always been like this before?"

But this Qi Mingyu...there's something wrong.

While thinking, Ruan Shuhuan called Luyun and gave a box to Qi Xingzhou.

Qi Xingzhou opened it casually and saw the banknotes inside. He was stunned: "Banknotes?"

Ruan Shuhuan glanced at Qi Mingyu, nodded and said, "Yes, I just wanted to discuss with my husband about using this money to buy a head ornament for my sister, but I didn't expect my sister to refuse it. Does my husband like this surprise?"

Ruan Shuhuan deliberately emphasized the last two words, and when she saw Qi Mingyu's expression change, she turned around and blinked at Qi Xingzhou.

That playful look made Qi Xingzhou smile.

Closing the box, he said with relief: "Of course I like it, Mingyu, you have grown up."

Qi Mingyu's expression froze, and he tried to force a smile: "Brother, as long as you are happy."

However, when she lowered her head, she could barely hide the anger on her face.

The silver was hers, and she asked for it specifically to impress her brother, so that it would be easy for him to get the silver later.

This bitch, how could she let her hopes fall through!

Ruan Shuhuan lowered her eyes slightly: "Husband, I have something to tell you."

Qi Xingzhou was happy about the banknotes, so he immediately said, "Is it about the division of the Ruan family?"

Ruan Shuhuan nodded, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "The emperor has come forward."

Qi Xingzhou touched her hair and said, "Mingyu, go back."

Qi Mingyu was reluctant, but looking at Qi Xingzhou's expression, she turned around and left.

After the door was closed, Qi Xingzhou hugged Ruan Shuhuan and said, "Don't worry, this incident won't last long."

Ruan Shuhuan was stunned, and she relaxed and leaned into his arms: "What does my husband mean?"

Qi Xingzhou lifted her chin: "Xie Yuchun and Ruan Shuyan are going to be in trouble."

At this point, Qi Xingzhou lowered his head again: "After this period of time, I will be back. Don't go back to the Ruan family without saying a word, and don't have any more random thoughts. Shuhua, I won't let you down."

Ruan Shuhuan clenched her fingers and forced a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for my husband to come back."
