After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 35 It doesn’t belong to you, it’s useless to force it to stay

In the past, whenever he wanted something, Jiang Xiyu would try her best to satisfy him, not to mention that he was hinting at her to pour tea. Xu Rui narrowed his eyes, and always felt that the Jiang Xiyu in front of him seemed not the same Jiang Xiyu as before.

"What do you mean?" Xu Rui took the teapot and poured himself a cup, saying a little impatiently.

Jiang Xiyu placed the teacup on the table and looked at Xu Rui with a half-smile. "Marquis, do you know how much money I have received in the five years since I married into the Marquis' Mansion?"

Xu Rui frowned slightly and stared at her silently.

"When I married into the Yonglin Marquisate, my father gave me all the wealth from the General's Mansion to bring to the Marquisate. It was over one million taels of silver, but now there's less than eight thousand left."

Xu Rui didn't expect such a huge number. He looked at her apologetically and said, "I haven't been in the Marquis' Mansion for many years and didn't know you gave so much. Don't worry, I will return all of this to you in the future, and even give you more."

If she had heard these promises in her previous life, she would have been very happy, but now she just found them ridiculous.

But he put on a smile and said, "I have always remembered what the Marquis said. I hope the Marquis will keep his word."

Xu Rui always felt that her smile was very dazzling, but he nodded and said, "Of course."

"That's good. These things are rewards from His Majesty, so you should keep them in the public treasury. But there are two places where the money is needed right now. One is to repair the Marquis' Mansion, and the other is to rebuild the golden body of the Buddha in Lanruo Temple, which requires ten thousand taels." Jiang Xiyu said directly.

It’s not that she doesn’t want these things, but although they are given to her for her private treasury, in the end they still have to be used to subsidize the public. In this case, she doesn’t want to accept his favor.

Xu Rui put down his teacup and asked in confusion, "Rebuilding the Buddha's golden body?"

He knew about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion, but another matter made him very confused.

Jiang Xiyu said slowly, "Everyone thought the Marquis was truly dead at first. It was only when the Buddha of Lanruo Temple appeared in my dream that I learned that the Marquis was still alive. I promised the abbot of Lanruo Temple, Master Wuming, that I would rebuild the Buddha's golden body to thank him no matter what. Now that the Marquis is back, and the dream the Buddha gave me has come true, I naturally have to go and fulfill my vow and thank him."

Jiang Xiyu had already prepared this excuse, but she was busy with other things during this period and had no time to say it.

Seeing that she mentioned the Buddha's dream again, Xu Rui looked at Jiang Xiyu with deep eyes.

Jiang Xiyu met his probing gaze calmly, her face darkening a bit, "My Lord, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm trying to frame you?"

Seeing Jiang Xiyu's serious expression, Xu Rui didn't quite believe her words at first, but she didn't show any signs of lying. Xu Rui lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Since it's something you promised, you must do it. I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll go with you. Mother will stay behind to pack the things to move to the Princess's Mansion."

Jiang Xiyu frowned, "My Lord, are you really planning to take your family to live in the Princess's Mansion?"

Xu Rui raised his eyes and said, "Since I have already promised His Majesty, do you think it is just a joke?"

Thinking that Jiang Xiyu was unwilling to go, he comforted her, "Don't worry, we are just borrowing your place temporarily. We will move back in when our mansion is repaired."

Originally, she felt that living in the Princess's Mansion would be disrespectful to the deceased Princess, but she did not explain, letting Xu Rui misunderstand and just nodded.

The fact is just as Xu Rui said. Since they have promised Gu Wei, they have no choice but to move out of this house.

However, he was only staying for a while. As long as he could find more craftsmen and bricklayers to do the repairs, the princess wouldn't be bothered for long. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiyu felt a little better.

Suddenly, I felt a warmth on my wrist, and Xu Rui's hoarse voice rang in my ear, "Yu'er, it's late, we should go to bed."

Jiang Xiyu raised her head and saw the fiery look in Xu Rui's eyes. She felt her stomach churning and she felt like she was going to vomit in the next second.

Jiang Xiyu broke free from the hand being held and poured herself a cup of tea. On the one hand, it was to avoid being held by Xu Rui, and on the other hand, it was to suppress the urge to vomit.

After drinking a cup of tea in big gulps, I managed to suppress the nausea.

Xu Rui didn't notice anything unusual about her and thought she was shy. He couldn't help but stand up and come to her side. But when Jiang Xiyu smelled the scent on his body, she felt nauseous again and could only drink water again.

When Jiang Xiyu was thinking about whether to turn hostile, Liu Ye's voice rang out from outside the door, "My Lord, my daughter has refused to take medicine since she came back from the palace. Please go and persuade her. You know the daughter's health condition. If she doesn't take medicine, something bad will happen."

Jiang Xiyu suddenly felt that the sound of willow leaves was hundreds of times more beautiful than that of the lark.

Xu Rui's face darkened and he stopped moving. Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes and looked at him steadily.

After a few seconds, he said, "I'll be back soon," and walked out directly.

Jiang Xiyu looked at his back and just found it funny.

But I also felt that the air was much fresher, but still turbid. I stood up and opened the window to ventilate, just in time to see Liu Ye smiling provocatively at Qing'er, and Qing'er's face was full of anger.

Jiang Xiyu shook her head and sat down to drink tea.

Soon Qing'er walked in and said angrily, "Madam, they are going too far. The Marquis has only been here for a short time and they are already calling for help. You didn't see Liu Ye's smug smile just now. If the Marquis hadn't been here, I would have wanted to tear her face off to see how she can be so proud in front of this servant."

Jiang Xiyu was amused by Qing'er's appearance and deliberately said, "Why do I feel that Liu Ye is a good girl? She is busy for her master in the middle of the night."

"Madam, you should be angry. Why are you still saying good things about her?" Qing'er said angrily.

Jiang Xiyu raised his hand and poked her chubby face, "Don't be angry, what if you get angry and make yourself sick? It's just a man, if she likes him, just give him to her."

This carefree and indifferent look made Qing'er look at Jiang Xiyu with suspicion.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Xiyu said with a smile.

Qing'er seemed to be hesitant to speak, but she still expressed all the questions in her mind.

"Madam, I feel like you've changed since you came back from Lanruo Temple. You used to care a lot about the Marquis, but now you don't seem to care at all."

Jiang Xiyu didn't expect that this silly girl could see her changes. She didn't tell her about her rebirth and said nonchalantly, "It's like you've met a god or Buddha, so you don't care about everything anymore. It's useless to force something that doesn't belong to you. What belongs to you can't be taken away no matter what."

Seeing Jiang Xiyu's attitude of letting things take their own course, Qing'er had many words stuck in her throat. Thinking about what Jiang Xiyu had experienced in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion in recent years, she didn't say anything.
