You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Li also glanced at Mu Yunge, but couldn't see any flaws, so she could only smile awkwardly.

"Ge'er, we are blood relatives, we are a family, why should we be so formal? You two sisters can chat, and Auntie San will go find your mother."

Annan and Anxi, who had been waiting outside the door, looked at each other and then Annan hid aside.

Anxi stepped forward politely and said, "Madam, I will take you there."

Li nodded and followed Anxi to the main courtyard.

After watching Li and his group leave, Mu Yunge started crying again.

"Sister, mother only gave me forty loads of dowry, and I estimate that it will only be sixty loads at most. I can only find a way to buy more by myself.

A few days ago, I saw several sets of headgear and jewelry that I liked in Linglong Pavilion, but I don’t have enough silver. Please return the silver and things you borrowed from me.

Mu Qinxue's face was like a palette, sometimes blue, sometimes white, and she frowned and bit her lips.

After a long while, she finally said, "Sister, we are sisters. You gave me everything, why do you want to go back?"

"Sisters should settle accounts clearly. What I give you is my kindness, and what you borrow is a loan. These are two different things.

I have no choice but to ask you to pay it back. As they say, if you borrow, you must pay it back. It shouldn't be difficult to borrow again, right?

If the dowry is too little, I can only ask Prince Lin to postpone the wedding to the end of the year or next year. After all, I am still young and will only be sixteen at the end of the year."

"How can that be?" Mu Qinxue blurted out to stop him.

He seemed to find it awkward and tried to make amends, "The wedding date has already been set, and postponing it wouldn't be a good idea. Besides, you wouldn't rely on the money I borrowed, would you?"

An Bei brought two pieces of paper. Mu Yunge glanced at them and handed them to Mu Qinxue.

"This one is borrowed from you, and this one is given to you by me. Look, I've only been back in Beijing for half a year, and I've already given you a lot of good things. I've never been stingy in front of you.

I have no choice now. You don’t want me to be ridiculed by others if I marry into the Yongguo Mansion, right?

By the way, please lend me some of your private money, and I will return it to you on the day I return home after the wedding."

Mu Qinxue jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "How can I lend you money from my own pocket?"

The reaction was so great that the curtains were torn apart. Only then did he realize that his attitude was inappropriate. He blushed and said, "I only get five taels of silver a month. How can I have private money? If I did, I wouldn't ask you to borrow it."

Mu Yunge sneered in his heart.

You cried poor in front of me, and two days before the wedding, you let it slip that you had two shops and had a monthly income of several hundred taels of silver.

He has money but still refuses to pay it back after borrowing it. It's really shameful to be greedy.

Humph, return all the things you borrowed from me!

Mu Qinxue weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and her nails dug into the flesh of her palms without her realizing it.

Bitch, what she said implies that she is so good to me. If I refuse, will I be an ungrateful and ungrateful person?

After a while, Mu Qinxue finally made up her mind.

"Sister, I really don't have any private money to lend you. How about this, I'll go back and ask mother for some money and return what I lent you."

He paused, looked at the list in his hand and said, "Just these three pieces of cloth cost one thousand taels of silver. Isn't that too expensive?"

"This is all because of our sisterhood.

You often go to cloth shops and clothing stores. Don't you know the price of these three pieces of cloth? Normally, you might not be able to buy them even if you have money."

Mu Qinxue choked.

Thinking of the letter sent by Prince Lin, asking him to coax this bitch and not ruin the plan, he hurriedly lowered his head to look at the list in his hand, trying to hide the calculation in his eyes.

Annan in the dark left quickly.

Mu Yunge looked at Mu Qinxue, who was only two months younger than him, and felt a little dazed.

The person in front of him looked delicate and gentle, and looked harmless. No one would have thought that such a delicate girl was actually a person with a heart as vicious as a snake.

It is impossible for the mother and daughter to not know what the end would be for the general's mansion and the entire family if their plan succeeded. How did they manage to remain so calm?

Thinking about the past two days before the wedding, when they were still in their boudoirs, chatting and laughing with the ladies who came to add makeup, busying around, Mu Yunge closed her eyes to hide the hatred in her eyes.

Mu Qinxue seemed to be apologetic as she quickly put the list away and put it in her arms.

"Sister is so kind to me! I will sort out the things according to the list when I get back and return them to you tomorrow."

After that, he smiled and said, "By the end of the month, the peach blossoms on the hill behind Puhua Temple should be in bloom. How about we stay at the temple for a few days and enjoy the peach blossoms?"

Ha ha……

Enjoying peach blossoms?

In the past, I happened to meet Lin Jinhao and several young men from aristocratic families in the peach forest of Puhua Temple. I guess it must have been arranged long ago, right?

By the way, when they got married, Mu Qinxue had been secretly pregnant for more than two months. Calculating the date, it was possible that she got pregnant during those days.

It seems that in order to avoid being seen, since there is no chance to meet on weekdays and it seems unreasonable for her to go alone, she dragged herself along and found such a good excuse.

Mu Yunge pretended to wave his hand and refused: "You go by yourself. I'm almost dying of worry about the dowry. I'm not in the mood."

Mu Qinxue hurriedly grabbed Mu Yunge's hand.

"It's because I'm in a bad mood that I want to go for a walk to relax. It's settled. I'll pay for it. You don't have to worry about anything, just go."

"Okay then! Just my mother's place?"

Mu Qinxue patted her chest and said, "I'll go to my aunt and tell her that you're still sick. Lie down and rest, and try to recover soon."

"Thank you very much!"

The goal was achieved. After exchanging a few words of greeting, Mu Qinxue led her maid away with satisfaction.

Mu Yunge said to An Bei: "The couple is trying to meet secretly, and now is our chance."

An Bei nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, I will make sure it's all arranged!"

"Well, Lin Jinhao must have secret guards around him, so we have to plan carefully."

An Bei was full of confidence, "As long as it's not from the palace, we'll be sure."

"At this time, it should not be the Dragon Shadow Guard! This time is crucial. If you succeed, you can ask the emperor to cancel the engagement. If you fail, it will alert the enemy."

"I know the importance of this servant and will definitely make a thorough plan!"

Qingfengyuan.

After Guo Shu got the tip-off from Annan, she couldn't help but laugh: "Forty loads of dowry? It's a shame she could come up with that. Haha... I have to cooperate."

When Li arrived, she saw Guo Shu sitting in the room with a sad face, looking through a pile of account books.

"Sister-in-law, Ge'er is awake, why are you still worried?"

"My third sister-in-law is here, please sit down!" Guo Shu complained while giving up her seat.

"It's your eldest brother who's causing all this trouble. He knew Ge'er was getting married in June and needed a large sum of money to prepare her dowry, but he wrote back saying he wanted to take all the money from the mansion, saying that a group of refugees needed urgent medical treatment."

Mrs. Li hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Sister-in-law, you can't let your brother do what he wants. Marrying your children is a big deal. Are refugees more important than your own children?"

Li secretly glanced at Guo Shu as she spoke, "If Ge'er marries into the Duke of Yong's mansion and her dowry is too small, it won't just be Ge'er who will be embarrassed, but the entire general's mansion. They will be laughed at by the people of the capital."

"I know this, but..."

"Don't bother saying but, just tell your elder brother that the money is for Ge'er's dowry."

Guo Shu seemed to be persuaded.

"Then how much do you think is a suitable dowry?"
