After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy
Chapter 24 What do you want to do?
On the surface, it seemed that she was the one who proposed this matter, but if one of them was not coveting Jiang Xiyu's beauty, and the other was greedy for Jiang Xiyu's wealth and the title of their Yonglin Marquis Mansion, how could they be so kind to help her?
Now that something has happened, putting all the blame on her is really a good plan.
Seeing that Zheng remained silent, Zhou shouted even more arrogantly, "Our Lai'er did all those things because of your instructions. Now that something has happened, you're blaming everything on us, mother and son. You're a family reunited now, but you've harmed our Lai'er like this. You're simply not human."
Looking at Zhou crying and cursing, Zheng's head began to hurt again.
Things had come to this point, and she didn't want to argue with her anymore, so she said helplessly, "This matter was indeed caused by us, but it has come to this point. It's useless for you to make a fuss. It's better to just let it go."
"Pooh." As soon as Zheng finished speaking, Zhou spat at her.
Zhou came right up to her and cursed, "Just let it go like this, Zheng Zhenzhu, how dare you say that? We were first beaten by that bitch Jiang Xiyu, then beaten fifty times by the King of Qin, and now we've been castrated by Xu Rui..."
Perhaps thinking of Zhou Lai's miserable appearance, Zhou started to cry again as she spoke.
"I was a good boy named Lai'er, but they just ganged up on me and ruined him. He was my only son, and he was our only heir in the entire Zhou family. Now that Lai'er has been harmed like this, our Zhou family is completely extinct. And you just want to let this go with a simple "forget it"? How can you, Zheng Zhenzhu, be so cruel?"
Zheng knew she was in the wrong, and Zhou was her biological sister. Furthermore, Zhou Lai's fate was truly tragic. Zheng took a deep breath and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"I want Jiang Xiyu to die." Zhou stiffened her neck, gritted her teeth, and her scarlet eyes were full of murderous intent.
Zheng knew that she hated Jiang Xiyu, but it was not easy to kill Jiang Xiyu.
"She is protected by Rui'er, we can't touch her."
Zheng's words infuriated Zhou once again. "With Xu Rui protecting you, you can't touch her? Weren't you good at scheming before? You must have many ways to kill her."
She just wants Jiang Xiyu to die now. As long as Jiang Xiyu is alive, she cannot get rid of the hatred in her heart.
Zheng knew what she was thinking and reluctantly told her everything that happened last night.
Zhou was a person who feared the gods, and she was frightened when she heard what Zheng said.
The fact that Xu Rui was returning to Beijing was right in front of her, and with what happened in the ancestral hall last night as a basis, it seemed impossible for her not to believe these things.
After a moment of silence, Zhou retreated and said, "Since you can't touch Jiang Xiyu, then you should release Lai'er and let him come back to the Zhou Mansion with me for treatment."
Since there was no way to deal with Jiang Xiyu, she could only find a way to bring Zhou Lai back to the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Lai was injured so badly, she had to find a way to treat him. Only when he was brought back to her territory would she feel at ease.
Zheng's face froze, and she said with embarrassment, "You heard it just now. Rui'er refused to let him go, and I had no choice."
The guest house was guarded by guards, and even she found it difficult to get in, let alone secretly release someone.
Seeing her making excuses, Zhou's anger had just subsided a little, but she immediately got angry again.
"You are forcing my son and me to death. If that's the case, I will return to the mansion now and tell our master everything. I will ask him to come and ask for us to be released. Don't accuse me of not giving your mansion face when the time comes."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Since she couldn't deal with the people from Yonglin Marquis' Mansion, she could only go back and find someone who could deal with them.
"Little sister, little sister."
Zheng came to her senses and became anxious. She chased after her to stop her, but Zhou quickened her pace and quickly disappeared from her sight.
Zheng is now regretting her decision to the point of her intestines turning green. This matter has never developed as she expected from the beginning, and now it has gone beyond her control.
If she had known that Xu Rui was not dead, she would not have done those things.
These things would not happen.
**
There was chaos outside, while Jiang Xiyu in Taolin Garden was holding the dowry list and recording it one by one.
After Qing'er had finished everything, she saw Jiang Xiyu still concentrating on the dowry list and couldn't help but urge her.
"Madam, let's save these for tomorrow, okay? I've prepared a flower petal bath for you. Why don't you take a dip in it? Otherwise, it'll get cold soon."
"Didn't you take a shower today?" Jiang Xiyu said without raising her head.
"We washed it in the afternoon. It's evening now, and the Marquis will be here soon." Qing'er reminded with a red face and a smile.
Jiang Xiyu was stunned, then raised her eyes and said, "Why should he come to me? There's no need to go through so much trouble."
She wished her whole body would stink, and Xu Rui would be driven away by him, not allowed to get within a meter of her. If she didn't want to get her dowry back, she would have wanted to kill Xu Rui with a knife, let alone be touched by him.
"Master Hou."
Suddenly, Qing'er stood up straight and winked at Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu turned around and saw Xu Rui behind her, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
This man actually came. Why didn't he go and accompany Lin Rouyu? What was he doing here with her?
Qing'er tactfully left without waiting for Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu's instructions, and considerately closed the door for them.
Jiang Xiyu looked at the closed door speechlessly.
This girl has used her vision in the wrong place.
Xu Rui walked over to the table and saw it was piled with gold, silver, and account books. He asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Xiyu said calmly, "I'm still looking at how much dowry I can give to the mansion."
Hearing this, Xu Rui's face suddenly froze, and then he apologized, "I'm sorry for wronging you over the years."
Jiang Xiyu looked at him expressionlessly and didn't say anything. Xu Rui thought she was angry with Zhou Lai and his mother and Lin Rouyu. Xu Rui didn't care and changed the subject.
"Your Majesty will hold a celebration banquet for me in the palace tomorrow. There will probably be quite a few rewards. I'll give them to you for safekeeping."
Jiang Xiyu sneered in her heart at his hypocritical look.
He had always known that all the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion were supported by her dowry, yet he had the nerve to say so, as if it were a gift, as if anyone wanted it.
Jiang Xiyu refused without hesitation, "No, I can't even spend all my own dowry, so how can I use the reward from the Marquis? It will only be used to supplement the public funds. The Marquis should just give it to mother."
Xu Rui's face was burning, but he still tried to save face and continued, "I have won the battle in the North this time. His Majesty will assign me a formal mission and a separate salary. You won't need to subsidize the public office anymore."
"Oh, I hope so." Jiang Xiyu said lightly.
The expenses of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, with more than a hundred people, are not a small amount, as most people are used to extravagance. His expenses may just be a drop in the bucket.
