The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 344: Good things can’t be given away cheaply to the Xu family

Seeing that the wedding day is getting closer and closer, Zhuxiang Yayuan has prepared all the necessary matters, and there is only one finishing work left...

On the first day of May, early in the morning.

Aunt Xiao took Xiao Sheng and Wu Ping drove towards the Xu Mansion.

Before going out, Xu Rongrong asked her to take Zhuyu with her. Today's matter might require Zhuyu's skills.

The purpose of this group of people was to go to Xu Mansion to get back the festive gifts given by Weiyuan Hou Mansion at the New Year's Eve.

Xu Rongrong had been away from the Xu residence for nearly six months. Consequently, the nine boxes that the Marquis's residence had sent as New Year gifts remained almost unopened and locked away in the Wutong Courtyard storeroom of the Xu residence.

When she was not married, Xu Mansion would not dare to tamper with her because of her face and her status as the head of Ping'an County. But once she gets married...if she continues to store it in the Xu Mansion, I'm afraid I don't know who will take advantage of her!

Naturally, Xu Rongrong would not stay.

So yesterday, she sorted out the gift list and gave it to Aunt Xiao, asking her to take people to Xu Mansion to move the goods early this morning.

But now the Xu Mansion is so embarrassed that it wants to sell Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, so naturally it will not let these nine boxes be moved out of the gate easily.

She had to tell Aunt Xiao to pay attention to Xu Mansion's dirty tricks.

Madam Xiao took this advice to heart and said with a smile before leaving: "Don't worry, County Lady. I haven't learned anything else in these years in Beijing. I have learned about 70% of the shameless fighting skills. I will have no problem dealing with that family over there!"

Wu Ping drove quickly and steadily, and within half an hour, he arrived in front of the Xu Mansion.

When running errands in front of Xu Rongrong, you have to come to Xu Mansion to interact with people here. Aunt Xiao has already been here twice before, so she is not a stranger.

As soon as we got off the carriage today, Manager Xu was waiting at the door early.

"Why did Aunt Xiao come here in person?" Manager Xu came forward with a smile on his face.

Aunt Xiao folded her hands and glanced at him.

The manager Xu in front of me is a smart man.

Although he was Xu Chaoqian's steward brought to the capital, he had been constantly oppressed by Steward Liu for the past few years. If Xu Rongrong hadn't sent Steward Liu to prison, how could he be where he is today? Therefore, while he was officially Xu Chaoqian's top steward, he secretly longed for the opportunity to serve Xu Rongrong. Previously, when Chu Yun stayed at the Xu residence, he had also been keeping an eye on him.

From time to time, news about Xu Mansion will be sent to Zhuxiang Yayuan.

Therefore, although Aunt Xiao was prepared to fight a tough battle, she was still a little bit aggressive towards Manager Xu. As she walked, she said: "Old lady, I am on an official mission for the county manager, how dare I not do my best? I am really tired. I’m in charge of you, Mr. Xu. I’ll be waiting here early in the morning.”

Manager Xu quickly laughed and said, "They are all on official business for the county."

After speaking, he lowered his voice: "I've been watching these days, and no one has touched the warehouse in Wutong Courtyard."

Nanny Xiao smiled and said, "Look at what Manager Xu said. We are all family. Who would always be thinking about other people's courtyards? What's more, Master Xu is an official, and the two young ladies in the mansion are well-educated and well-mannered. The door of the storehouse in Wutong Courtyard is sealed with the county lady's identity seal. Not to mention being pried open, even if it is blown open by the wind, there is a risk of offending the majesty of the royal family, don't you think?" Her voice was neither loud nor soft. The servants standing on both sides of the gatehouse looked at each other after hearing her words and did not dare to say a word.

Aunt Xiao crossed the threshold and asked, "Is the master in the house? Since I'm here, I must kowtow to him."

The servant at the porter said hurriedly: "The master is in the front hall."

Aunt Xiao frowned slightly when she heard this.

Ordinarily, Mr. Xu should not take a rest today.

She glanced at Manager Xu suspiciously, and he said almost inaudibly: "I was originally on duty today."

The word "original" immediately revealed Mr. Xu's thoughts.

Yesterday, Zhuxiang Yayuan sent a letter saying that she would come to pick up things today, and Xu Chaoqian specifically asked for leave and stayed at home.

Naturally, he didn't stay here just to see Aunt Xiao.

His purpose was to seize Xu Rongrong's things! Madam Xiao spat in her heart: Bah! Shallow-eyed.

She turned around and glanced at Zhu Yu and Xiao Sheng who were standing outside the door: "You should follow me and kowtow to the master."

The concierge saw that he was going to pay his respects to the master, so naturally he didn't dare to stop him.

In the front hall, Xu Chaoqian was sitting in the first serious seat. There was an empty seat at the lower right corner. On the lower seat was a young girl with a sallow complexion and a sour look on her face.

Manager Xu lowered his voice: "This is our third young lady... The second young lady occasionally caught a cold and is recuperating in the inner courtyard."

Aunt Xiao nodded, looked at the empty seats, and sneered in her heart: The second young lady of Xu Mansion is indeed a shrewd person. She will make a mess of things today and look ugly. After she has done it, she can pick it up ready-made, there is no need to come out. Charge into battle.

As her thoughts swirled, she took Xiao Sheng and Zhu Yu to salute Xu Chaoqian.

Xu Chao waved his hand forward and said in a pretentious manner: "No need to be formal, I have something else to do today, so I'll take care of your affairs first."

Aunt Xiao sneered in her heart and handed over the gift list in her hand.

"Why is there still a list?" Xu Chaoqian frowned, "Sister Rong, are you worried about being a father?"

"The master doesn't know something." Aunt Xiao smiled faintly, "The county owner is just staying at Zhuxiang Yayuan. Her dowry was all moved from Wutong Courtyard. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to pick up the pretend list that day, the county owner For the sake of Xu Mansion's face, everything in the warehouse of Wutong Courtyard was entered into the dowry list. Because today the slave is here to carry the dowry, so naturally he has to draw up a list."

Xu Chaoqian almost jumped up.

On New Year's Eve, the Marquis of Weiyuan came to present New Year's gifts and carried ten large boxes. He took only one box and threw it in front of him. The rest was carried directly into Xu Rongrong's yard without even saying hello. He didn't know until today that there were so many treasures hidden inside.

And all of these were turned into dowry and her private property by Xu Rongrong with a wave of her hand! She knew the embarrassment of the mansion, but she didn't consider him as a father at all.

However, he still cared about the relationship between father and daughter. When Xu Yaoyao saw Tian'er crying to him about poverty, he didn't even reach out to the warehouse of Wutong Courtyard!

Although he had thought about it, every time he saw the seal with the county master's seal on the warehouse door, he put away his thoughts and always thought about not making it too ugly, but who would have thought!

Now it seems... I found a clever boy to climb in through the window and steal a dozen or twenty items, so I wouldn't have been so poor!

But it was absolutely impossible for him to ask for it at this time.

So, he glanced almost inaudibly at his third daughter, Xu Minmin, who was sitting at the bottom.

Xu Minmin immediately understood. She put on a curious girlish look, stood up, grabbed the gift list from Xu Chaoqian's hand, and said with a smile: "I want to see how many good things eldest sister has hidden."
