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

After leaving the Ruan family, Ruan Shuyan returned to the Xie family.

Not long after we sat down, Madam Xie sent someone to deliver something.

"The old lady said that there was some misunderstanding between us before, and these are her apologies. Please don't take it to heart."

Ruan Shuyan glanced at the things that were delivered, which were some medicinal herbs, cloth, and two sets of jewelry.

As time passed, the servant in charge of delivering the message lowered his head unconsciously, with cold sweat slowly sliding down his face.

Just when she was feeling desperate, Ruan Shuyan said, "Go down and tell the old lady that I don't care."

"Yes Yes!"

The servant left in a panic, and Chuntao couldn't help asking, "Miss, do you really not care?"

Ruan Shuyan smiled slightly: "Does it matter whether you care or not?"

Chun Tao turned her head and said seriously, "Of course it's important. Miss is a respectable person and behaves in a way that is respectable, but other people don't think so. Miss, you can't let others bully you."

Ruan Shuyan laughed and wanted to say that she would not allow herself to be bullied, but seeing Chuntao's serious expression, she also became serious.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

She looked doting, which made Chuntao feel embarrassed. She stammered, "Slave, I was too anxious just now. Miss, please don't take it to heart."

Ruan Shuyan's eyes curved, and as she was speaking, the housekeeper came in to report.

"There's a man outside the door, saying he has a letter for you."

Ruan Shuyan's expression became serious: "Did you say your name?"

"No, I only gave this thing."

As he spoke, the butler took out a jade pendant.

When Ruan Shuyan saw it, her face changed immediately. It was her brother's jade pendant.

"Invite the person into the hall immediately."

"Yes!"

In the hall, as soon as Ruan Shuyan stepped into the door, she saw a young man sitting on the left with a nervous look on his face.

Their eyes met and the young man stood up immediately.

"Seen..."

Ruan Shuyan didn't want to waste time, so she got straight to the point: "Where is the letter?"

The boy scratched his head and took out an envelope from his arms.

Chun Tao took it and tore it open before handing it to Ruan Shuyan: "Miss."

Ruan Shuyan nodded, quickly read the contents of the letter, and her heart was instantly relieved.

"Are you Bai Tianyou? A member of the Bai family?"

After receiving a positive reply, Ruan Shuyan handed the letter to Chuntao: "The letter says that you want to work for my mother?"

Bai Tianyou nodded and said sincerely: "I know a lot of things, I will definitely be able to help my aunt."

Ruan Shuyan did not respond immediately. Although her elder brother had given her the letter, whether to keep the person depended on Bai.

Thinking about this, she asked Chuntao to take Bai Tianyou to look for Bai Shi, and then said to Bai Tianyou: "Whether you can stay depends on your own ability."

Bai Tianyou was very confident in his abilities and left happily with Chuntao.

On the other side, Xie Yuchun had already met the Minister of Justice Zhuang Yanyu in the Tianlao.

After a conversation, he confirmed Ruan Shuyan's statement that Zhuang Yanyu did have a secret, but Ruan Shuyan didn't tell him, so he wasn't sure what the secret was.

Silence spread, and Zhuang Yanyu laughed: "Master Xie is worthy of being the emperor's man. He was able to discover my hidden secret. In this case, I will help Master Xie."

Having said that, Zhuang Yanyu waved to Xie Yuchun.

Xie Yuchun narrowed his eyes slightly and walked forward without thinking. Then he saw Zhuang Yanyu spread out his five fingers and smiled at him without saying a word.

What does this mean?

Xie Yuchun frowned and was about to ask further questions when he suddenly realized something was wrong. With a "bang", Zhuang Yanyu fell down, and a trace of black blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Someone, open the door!"

Xie Yuchun turned around and shouted, and the jailer from the Tianlao came running, but it was too late when the cell door was opened.

Zhuang Yanyu is dead.

"He committed suicide by taking poison."

The jailer checked the situation and informed Xie Yuchun of his judgment.

Xie Yuchun's face turned cold: "I remember that prisoners were searched when they entered the prison, so why did he have poison on him?"

The jailer's eyes flickered: "This..."

As soon as Xie Yuchun saw it, he knew what the problem was. He looked at Zhuang Yanyu's body again and left.

Xie family.

Ruan Shuyan was silent for a long time when she learned that Zhuang Yanyu had died.

Xie Yuchun was helpless: "It happened suddenly, and I didn't react in time, but before he died, he made a gesture to me."

"What's the gesture?"

Xie Yuchun imitated Zhuang Yanyu and spread out his five fingers.

Ruan Shuyan was puzzled: "What does this mean?"

She knew about the iron mine, but what did the five fingers spread out have to do with the iron mine?

Xie Yuchun shook his head gently: "I don't know, but Zhuang Yanyu is dead, and the palace is probably going to summon me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chuntao trotted in: "Miss, son-in-law, the doorman came to report that someone... has arrived from the palace."

Ruan Shuyan and Xie Yuchun looked at each other.

After a few moments, Xie Yuchun patted her hands and said, "I'll be back soon."

Ruan Shuyan wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally watched Xie Yuchun leave without saying a word.

"Miss, is your uncle in trouble again?"

Ruan Shuyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Chuntao: "Why do you think so?"

Chun Tao said confidently, "If the uncle hadn't gotten into trouble, the young lady wouldn't be worried. Humph, the uncle is really something. He just came back from the prison and hasn't had a rest yet, but he's already started to make trouble again. I really feel sorry for the young lady."

What Chuntao said makes a lot of sense.

Ruan Shuyan was speechless, so she simply stuffed a silver ingot over and said, "Don't worry about your son-in-law, go out and buy some snacks."

Chun Tao looked down, then looked up again, and said resentfully, "Young lady despises me."

Ruan Shuyan coughed lightly and smiled without saying anything.

"Ugh!"

Chuntao sighed again, then walked away with her head down.

Ruan Shuyan shook her head, took out a piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote down some arrangements.

Xie Yuchun is out of trouble, and the Xie family should be more stable. She has to continue to make arrangements for the follow-up. After all, the peace of the capital...

Ruan Shuyan paused, a complex look appeared in her eyes. She hoped that she could avoid those troubles in this life.

The next day.

Ruan Shuyan was looking at the account book when Lai Mama came over with a manager.

"Miss, this is the manager of the cloth shop."

"Well, something happened at the cloth shop?"

The cloth shop manager looked embarrassed and said, "There is a problem with the cloth shop's supplier."

Ruan Shuyan was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

"Five days ago..."

From the narration by the manager of the cloth shop, Ruan Shuyan learned that five days ago, the cloth shop's supplier suddenly sent a message saying that they would not supply goods to the Ruan family cloth shop.

It just so happened that the cloth shop had already dealt with some of the silk brocade because of Ruan Shuyan's arrangement, and the remaining part was only enough to sell for seven days.

The manager said with a sad face, "I thought it was normal, so I asked people to find new suppliers, but no matter how hard we tried, those people always agreed and then changed their minds. Miss, I really have no choice. What do you think we should do?"

Ruan Shuyan rubbed her fingertips with an indifferent expression as if she was listening to someone else's story.

The manager is panicking, but is there anything the young lady can do?
