It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"Brother Lin'an, what do you want to tell me?" Lu Han leaned forward.

"I recently investigated something." Xie Linan paused, looked up and looked around, and confirmed that there were no strangers before continuing, "A few years ago, the elders began to secretly transfer the property within the Xie family. This time, Xie Yunting came back seemingly because he missed the Xie family, but in fact, he came to finalize the matter with the elders."

"No wonder when I checked the accounts before, I always felt that the current money was not worthy of the wealthy Xie family. It turns out that they had already transferred all the money." Lu Han gritted his teeth and said, "These old guys don't contribute to the Xie family, but only want to take Xie's money."

"Moreover, they divided the silver into three parts. One part was kept by themselves, one part was given to Xie Yunting to invest in his mine, and the third part was given to the prince."

"Crown Prince?" Lu Han's eyes were filled with shock. "Isn't the Crown Prince under house arrest?"

"They have been secretly supporting the prince for a long time. Do you think the prince has received so much support from officials just because he is the prince and the future emperor?" Xie Linan sneered. "The emperor is no longer under control, and the major families must train a puppet again. The result is beyond their expectations. The prince will be implicated by the queen. However, they have invested a lot of effort and money in supporting the prince over the years. If it comes to an end now, they will not be willing."

"In the final analysis, they are just too greedy. The worst that can happen is that they are willing to stop even if it means they will die together." Lu Han clenched his fists. "These old guys are really a nuisance. When they run away, the people who stay in the Xie family will all become victims. Brother Lin'an, those are all living lives. We must find a way to save them."

"You saved them just because they are lives?" Xie Linan asked back.

"What else?" Lu Han's eyes were full of confusion.

"Is there no other reason?" Xie Linan asked.

"Other reasons?" Lu Han thought for a while and shook his head honestly. "I can't think of any for now, Brother Lin'an, how about you give me a hint?"

Xie Linan laughed and rubbed Lu Han's head: "You, sometimes you look smart, and sometimes you look naive."

"Are you talking about me, the stupid one?" Lu Han immediately frowned, "You are the stupid one, I just lack experience. If I had enough experience, I would definitely..."

Xie Linan was listening attentively when he suddenly heard Lu Han stop talking, slightly opening his eyes and looking behind him.

He chuckled, "What's wrong?"

Lu Han took a deep breath and immediately stepped forward: "Disciple Lu Han, I greet Princess Jinghe."

Xie Linan was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw Princess Jinghe's face. His expression immediately became the same as Lu Han's: "Princess Jinghe, you... why are you here?"

"After all, Xie is my in-laws' family. Do I need to inform you, the young master, in advance when I come back?" Princess Jinghe sneered. Of course, she said this on purpose. She couldn't let those old guys in Xie's know that she had private contact with Xie Linan.

"That's not what I meant. It's just that you came here without informing anyone." Xie Lin'an bowed and said, "Uncle Yunting's condition has been recurring recently. If you want to see him, maybe..."

"It doesn't matter. I will be the same when I see you." Princess Jinghe took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Xie Linan. "I have been entangled with Xie Yunting for so many years. I am tired. This is the divorce letter. Give it to him."

Xie Linan was stunned, a little shocked: "Princess, you?"

"Hasn't he always wanted to divorce me? Now that I am helping him, isn't that what he wants?" Princess Jinghe no longer had hatred for Xie Yunting when she mentioned him. Instead, she was indifferent, as if he was just a passerby. "Take it."

Xie Linan immediately reached out to take it: "You came here in person just to deliver the divorce letter?"

"Of course it's not this one. When I married Xie Yunting, I sent a batch of dowry. Now that we are getting divorced, I naturally have to take it back. You should hurry up and have someone count it. I will sit here and wait for you."

"Your dowry?" Xie Lin'an's face flashed with doubt, "I didn't know there was your dowry in the mansion. Uncle Yun Ting never told me."

"What? Do you think I'm lying?" Princess Jinghe looked at him with a smile.

"Princess Jinghe, please don't be angry. I have been calculating Xie's property these days. If I remember correctly, there is no item in the book that records the property that is your dowry."

"impossible!"

Princess Jinghe slammed the table, frightening Lu Han to kneel down immediately: "Princess Jinghe, calm down. If you don't believe me, I can call the accountant to come over and confront you."

"Who else can control my dowry except Xie Yunting?" Princess Jinghe jumped up, "Where is Xie Yunting? Ask him to come to see me now!"

"Uncle Yunting is still bedridden, so it may not be convenient for him to see you." Xie Linan also knelt down with a hint of panic on his face.

"I don't want to embarrass you two youngsters, but I came here today just for this dowry. Either Xie gives up my dowry, or Xie Yunting explains it to me in person. If neither of them works, I will send soldiers to raid Xie's house."

She didn't say this to scare the two of them.

If you make her angry, she can really do it.

Xie Linan was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead: "Then I will report to Uncle Yun Ting now. Princess, please wait for a moment."

After saying that, he got up and stumbled out the door.

"Humph."

Princess Jinghe sneered and looked down at Lu Han who was kneeling on the ground: "I have been here for so long, and you don't even know how to serve me tea and water? Lu Han, how did your mother teach you the rules?"

Lu Han didn't dare to speak. He stood up, poured a glass of water, and brought it to Princess Jinghe: "Princess, please have some tea."

"Ah."

Princess Jinghe took a sip and frowned, "The Xie family is a wealthy family after all, how can they drink aged tea that smells musty?"

“This is the best tea ever.”

"what?"

Princess Jinghe looked at Lu Han in disbelief. After a while, she smiled and said, "Lu Han, did Xie Linan feed you some kind of poison?"

"Why do you say that, Princess?"

"What else? Others don't know, but you don't know what kind of place Xie's is, but you rushed in and lived such a hard life?" Princess Jinghe shook her head. "You should learn from your sister-in-law. Always put your own interests first. Don't sacrifice your whole life for a man."

"It is true that I like Brother Lin'an, but I followed him into the Xie family not just because of him."

"Oh? Then what's the other reason?"
