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

An hour later, Madam Xie was helped out of the Ruan Mansion.

Ruan Shuyan wanted to see Bai, but was told that she had to rest: "Madam said that she would not see anyone in the next few days."

Ruan Shuyan opened her mouth and suddenly felt her hand being held tightly: "Husband."

Xie Yuchun asked softly, "Do you want to live here or go back to the Xie family?"

Ruan Shuyan glanced in the direction of the main courtyard and took a deep breath. Her mother had already protected her from too many storms, so she had to do the rest by herself.

"My husband, please go back to the Xie family first..."

She whispered some instructions, and then the two of them parted in front of the Ruan Mansion.

Xie family, front hall.

Old Madam Xie fell into a chair, her face extremely pale.

"Yu Rui, this time I really... tried my best."

"I know, it's the son who is unfilial and makes his mother suffer."

Xie Yurui knelt down on one knee, his eyes full of guilt.

Madam Xie leaned back in her chair and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly fell on the door and she said in a cold tone, "How dare you come back?"

Xie Yuchun stepped into the door: "Why don't you dare? What's the matter with the 100,000 taels of silver?"

His straightforward remarks made both Old Madam Xie and Xie Yurui look a little evasive.

But soon, Mrs. Xie became confident and asked questions instead of answering.

"Are you questioning me? But you have been busy with government affairs externally, and you have only cared about Ruan Shuyan internally. You have never been involved in family affairs. What right do you have to question me?"

Xie Yuchun smiled: "So it was me who asked Xie Yurui to gamble? Or was it me who asked him to owe 100,000 taels of silver? Mother used to favor him, so I didn't say anything. But why do you question me after he got into such a big trouble?"

Xie Yuchun spoke the last few words very sharply, but compared to his tone, his eyes were full of disappointment.

It's not like he hadn't reminded the Xie family to keep a low profile, but he never expected that Xie Yurui would actually incur a debt of one hundred thousand taels of silver.

One hundred thousand taels!

Even if the entire Xie family was torn down and sold, it would not be possible to raise so much silver.

Silence spread, and Madam Xie took a deep breath: "This matter is indeed a bit outrageous, but you are the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is like a father, shouldn't you solve it for him?"

"But have you ever told me? Have you ever mentioned to me the matter of the hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Perhaps because he was extremely angry, Xie Yuchun's mood suddenly calmed down. However, his calmness frightened Old Madam Xie more than his turbulent emotions.

"Isn't there another way to deal with it? That's why... Yuchun, this isn't difficult. As long as you divorce Ruan Shuyan, the 100,000 taels of silver can be written off. I know you like her, but 100,000 taels is not a lot. You should just give in temporarily. At worst, you can marry her back later."

The more Mrs. Xie talked, the more she felt that this method was feasible.

However, as Xie Yuchun listened, his heart grew colder. He looked at Old Madam Xie, then glanced at Xie Yurui, and seeing that the latter kept his head down and remained silent, he knew that Xie Yurui was determined to let Old Madam Xie take the lead.

Divorce? Marry back?

Ah!

Xie Yuchun stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Mrs. Xie saw it and stood up hurriedly: "Stop!"

Xie Yurui also realized that something was wrong. He dared not to shrink back any longer and rushed forward quickly: "Brother, you..."

"boom!"

Xie Yuchun turned around and punched Xie Yurui hard, knocking him to the ground, then stepped forward and kicked him.

Old Madam Xie was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "Xie Yuchun, how could you hit your brother? Stop it, stop it now!"

Xie Yurui was beaten so hard that he curled up into a ball: "Brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

Xie Yuchun took two steps back: "You don't know you are wrong, but what mother said is also right. An elder brother is like a father. I should be responsible for this matter."

Madam Xie's anxiety disappeared in an instant: "Seriously? Do you agree to divorce Ruan Shuyan?"

Xie Yuchun shook her head: "Divorce is impossible. I am going to the palace to ask the emperor for forgiveness and resign."

what!

Madam Xie's figure shook: "No, no, you can't resign. As long as you and Ruan Shuyan divorce, this matter will be over. Why do you have to..."

She staggered forward and tried to grab Xie Yuchun's hand.

But Xie Yuchun raised his hand and dodged.

"Do you really think Xie Yurui is worth 100,000 taels of silver? Their target is me. Now that I have returned to the capital, they will never let me stand in the court again. If I resign now, maybe I can still save the Xie family. If I wait a little longer..."

Xie Yuchun sneered and kicked Xie Yurui again.

At this point, Mrs. Xie was scared, but she still held on to hope.

"What if, what if it's just... just some silver?"

"You don't believe what you say."

Xie Yuchun directly exposed Mrs. Xie's fluke, "Okay, hurry up and pack up. I will go to apologize and resign, and then go to the Ruan Mansion."

"What are you doing at the Ruan Mansion?"

Old Madam Xie screamed. Compared with the former, it seemed that Xie Yuchun going to the Ruan Mansion was even more difficult for her to accept.

But the next moment, Xie Yuchun said something that made her even more devastated.

"I don't agree to divorce you, but I can take my wife's surname. After I pay back the 100,000 taels of silver, we will be strangers in the future."

After saying this, Xie Yuchun let Old Madam Xie shout without staying for a moment.

On the other side, Ruan Shuyan asked for a private room in the teahouse and made an appointment with Yang Ning.

"I heard about what happened at the border. I have to say that Madam Xie has some tricks up her sleeve."

Ruan Shuyan smiled slightly: "General Yang praised it highly, but I asked General Yang to come here today, not because of the border issue."

Yang Ning smiled and leaned back in his chair: "I know you are here for Xie Yurui's matter."

"It seems that General Yang has also heard about the 100,000 taels of silver, so he must be very clear about the details."

As she spoke, Ruan Shuyan poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Yang Ning raised his chin slightly: "I'm not particularly clear, but this matter is a matter of willingness, even if it's me..."

"What if I offer two hundred thousand taels of silver and ask General Yang to solve this matter?"

The surroundings fell into silence. Yang Ning stared at Ruan Shuyan for a long time and said, "Are you kidding, Madam Xie?"

Ruan Shuyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Does he look like someone who is joking?"

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver, but that's twice what the second son of the Xie family owes. Madam Xie, are you really willing to pay it?"

Yang Ning looked Ruan Shuyan up and down, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that she was fooling him.

Ruan Shuyan didn't say anything, but clapped her hands.

The next moment, Lai's mother and Chuntao pushed the door open and walked in.

Both of them were holding trays in their hands, and then they placed the trays in front of Yang Ning.

Ruan Shuyan made a gesture of invitation: "General Yang, please look at the two hundred thousand taels of silver notes one by one."

Yang Ning's eyes were filled with shock; he was stunned by Ruan Shuyan's courage.

"You would rather give me 200,000 yuan than return the 100,000 yuan?"
