The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

But she couldn't explain it to Aunt Gui in detail yet, so when she saw that Aunt Gui's expression hadn't softened, she started to divert her attention. "Tomorrow I want to go to Nanshan Temple to offer lanterns for the children. Aunt, please inform the main courtyard for me later."

"...Okay, but the stairs to Nanshan Temple are long and steep. Miss, are you physically able to handle it?"

"no problem."

"Then I'll go check on Qinghong Cuiwei and the others and see how they're doing. Once I'm done, I'll go to the main courtyard."

"Ah."

Li Shu nodded, and after Aunt Gui left, she stood up and walked to the drawing board, put a new piece of drawing paper on it, and started drawing again.

Qinghong and Cuiwei were sent by Aunt Gui to count Li Shu's dowry today.

Li Shu's dowry was so huge that it took an entire row of side rooms to serve as storage.

Even though Qinghong Cuiwei asked a few people to help, she was still very tired.

By the time they rushed into Li Shu's room, each holding a list, Li Shu had already drawn two faces.

"Madam! The servants have finished counting your dowry!"

Hearing Cuiwei's voice, Li Shu stopped writing and looked over.

Seeing their little faces covered in sweat and flushed, he stopped writing and walked towards them, "Madam Gui didn't ask you to finish the inventory today, why are you so impatient?"

Cuiwei grinned, but her smile faded in an instant. She snatched the list from Qinghong's hand and held it up to Li Shu, saying, "Madam, look! This is the amount of your dowry now. It's a full one-third less! And you've only been married into the Marquis' Mansion for three or four years! At this rate, your dowry will be gone in seven or eight years!"

Li Shu took it and scanned it quickly.

After finishing the job, he asked in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Didn't you guys include the things I moved to decorate Tongxin Garden?"

"That's right! I completely forgot about the things in Tongxin Garden! I'll go to Tongxin Garden and take inventory now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Cuiwei rushed out like an arrow.

Li Shu opened her mouth to call her, but changed the idea and looked at the two children's faces she had just drawn.

Xu Daijun would definitely send someone to tell Ning Jin that she was going to Nanshan Temple.

Judging from what she knew about Xie Yu in her dream, Xie Yu would definitely not miss this opportunity to stimulate her all the way.

So even if she didn't agree, Ning Jin would take Xie Yu with him.

And she just wanted to confirm something from Xie Yu.

Therefore, Cuiwei went to Tongxin Garden to count her dowry at this time to provoke Ning Jin and Xie Yu. Maybe Xie Yu would try harder to provoke her tomorrow, and then she might be able to get confirmation from Xie Yu more smoothly...

Thinking of this, Li Shu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly called out, "Jingzhe!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Jingzhe appeared in her room.

"The servant is here, please give your orders, young lady."

"Cuiwei has gone to Tongxin Garden. I'm worried she'll be bullied by Ning Jin's men. Please arrange for four people to go with her."

"Yes."

Jingzhe responded and was about to leave, but Li Shu immediately said, "From now on, you will guard the gate and not let anyone in. If they want to attack you, don't show any mercy. I will go out if necessary."

"Yes!"

Jingzhe knew that Li Shu's last sentence was because she was worried that they couldn't win, so he unconsciously raised his voice in response.

The eight of them were just barely able to defeat the boss!

The eldest brother has never known how to be gentle with women or show mercy to his subordinates since he was young. Every time he fights with them alone, he treats them as his enemies and kills them. How could they not be able to beat the people around the brother-in-law!

But she couldn't help but feel happy that the young lady was so considerate of them!

So it’s fine that the son-in-law doesn’t let anyone attack them today, but if they really do, she will show her real skills to the young lady!

Then when she left to arrange for people to go to Tongxin Garden, she specifically instructed them to "prioritize protecting Cuiwei and show no mercy."

Meanwhile, in Tongxin Garden, Ning Jin had already learned from the people sent by Xu Daijun that Li Shu was going to Nanshan Temple the next day. He immediately muttered, "Isn't she sick? How could she still have the energy to go to Nanshan Temple?"

The little maid who delivered the message lowered her head and pretended not to hear.

But Xie Yu, who was lying on the bed, spoke up. "Brother Ning, didn't you say before that sister-in-law didn't originally believe in ghosts and gods, but later started burning incense and praying to Buddha so that you, her father, and her brothers could be invincible and never get hurt? Maybe sister-in-law is praying for you this time too?"

Ning Jin frowned and waved his hand.

The little maid who delivered the message immediately ran away as if escaping.

Then he said, "She's already thinking about divorcing me, how could she possibly pray for me at this time?"

"Brother Ning, we women sometimes say all kinds of insincere things when we're angry! Sister-in-law must have been so angry because you refused to believe her that she threw the jar and had such thoughts. She definitely doesn't really want to divorce you! Otherwise, she would have already begged the Emperor and Empress to divorce you. After all, the Emperor and Empress treat her as their own daughter and would definitely agree to her request. But she didn't go, so it was just her angry words. You just need to go and comfort her and everything will be fine!"

"..."

Ning Jin's brows furrowed even tighter.

The emperor and the empress really treated Shushu as their own daughter and treated her especially well.

But it is impossible for the emperor and the empress to easily agree to Shushu's divorce from him.

Because the current emperor is different from those emperors who like to arrange marriages for others at will.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has only granted marriage to him and Shushu.

Moreover, when arranging the marriage, the emperor even laughed in public and said that he did not like being a matchmaker. If he did not know that the two of them had a deep affection for each other and would never betray or hurt each other in this life, he would never arrange the marriage for them. If they let him down in the future, he would never let them off easily!

Even though it was just a joke, it came from the emperor's mouth, so it concerned the emperor's face and dignity!

And in the years that followed, the emperor would often mention to others how good their relationship was!

So don’t even mention that Shushu is not the emperor’s biological daughter. Even if she is, she would never dare to come to the emperor for help at this time!

And based on his understanding of Shushu, if Shushu really wanted to divorce him, she would never easily go to the emperor to ask for help. On the contrary, she would only go to the emperor if she did not sincerely want to divorce him...

Thinking of this, Ning Jin felt even more upset, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no way he and Shushu can get divorced!

As long as Shushu is willing to admit her mistake and apologize to Yuer, they will soon be able to return to the way things were before!

At this moment, Xie Yu gently tugged at his sleeve and said worriedly, "Brother Ning, I'm a little worried about my sister-in-law dragging her sick body to the temple to pray for blessings. Can we go too?"

Ning Jin's heart moved.

To be honest, although he did not return to Zhuyuan to live and had been with Yu'er, and was very angry at Shushu's attitude of refusing to admit that she had done it, he still missed Shushu.

He wondered if she was really ill and how seriously ill she was.

I also want to know whether she is angry with him or really wants to divorce him.

But he had always bowed his head and begged for peace in the past, and this time he didn't want to indulge Shushu no matter what.

So he has been enduring.
