Reborn, meet you again!

Mrs. Pei was furious when she saw that her punch had hit cotton.

As for her daughter, she wants to take her time to choose.

Jiang Wanqiao was also a fool. She vaguely heard Yujiao say that she had helped the young lady of the Fang family in the past and had quite a good relationship with her.

Now it seems that no one cares about her at all.

Not only that, but the yin and yang came right in front of him.

But think about it, with Jiang Wanqiao's status, even if she was eager to take the initiative, people might not be interested in her.

But she herself was completely unaware of it and had no idea how to retort. It was really unbecoming.

It’s up to me, the mother-in-law, to do it myself!

Mrs. Pei thought about it and imitated Mrs. Fang's tone, speaking in the same sarcastic tone.

"Mrs. Fang is more open-minded."

"But this girl is too young to be kept. Madam Fang should be careful not to keep her for too long, or she will end up in sorrow and ruin Miss Fang's life."

"As for the good and bad of my husband's family and my husband's style, Madam Fang is probably asking the wrong person. Wan Qiao will enjoy a good life by marrying into my mansion, and my mansion has a clean and upright family tradition. How could she know all that?"

Mrs. Fang looked disapproving.

"Oh? So it's a blessing for a husband to marry a co-wife. I'm really ignorant of this."

"If that's the case, then when Miss Pei gets married, Madam Pei must notify me!"

"I'm acquainted with Madam Pei. If Miss Pei marries someone, I'll have my husband introduce a suitable woman to her future husband as his equal, so that Miss Pei can share in the same 'good fortune' as Madam Pei."

Fang Yuan, who was standing behind Mrs. Fang, cooperated very well and pulled her mother's sleeve, then spoke in a naive tone.

"Mother, mother, your daughter doesn't want such a blessing."

"We agreed that if it were a daughter, she wouldn't marry into a family with such bad morals!"

Mrs. Fang pretended to be dissatisfied and reached out to lightly touch her daughter's forehead.

"What are you talking about? What about a family with bad morals? Didn't you hear what Madam Pei said? That's just enjoying life!"

Fang Yuan puffed out his cheeks and shook Mrs. Fang's arm in feigned anger.

"I don't care. If Mother really listens to such nonsense, I will shave my head and become a nun!"

Mrs. Fang looked helpless, but her eyes were full of indulgence and doting.

"Okay, okay, since Yuan'er says this isn't a blessing, then I won't marry you."

"It's just that Miss Pei is Madam Pei's daughter, so she must have the same idea as Madam Pei. We can't force her to be as ungrateful as us, right..."

Mrs. Pei was a little angry when she saw the two of them singing the same tune.

She thought that Mrs. Fang was just jealous that her son was going to marry a "noble lady", so she was complaining about the sour grapes.

But before she could say anything else, Mrs. Fang seemed to have just seen the wedding dress beside her and looked amazed, and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Huh? This wedding dress... is it made of brocade?"

"I didn't expect Madam Pei to be so generous."

"It's just that... this wedding dress looks incredibly luxurious. After all, Master Pei has just made military achievements. Madam Pei, please don't try to be too boastful."

Mrs. Fang said this and started laughing to herself.

Mrs. Pei's face became increasingly ugly.

What does she mean? Does she look down on the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?

"The Shen family girl is from a family of loyal and brave men, and the Empress Dowager took pity on her loneliness and "personally" arranged for her to marry my son."

"Now that she has no one at home, my Pei Mansion naturally cannot treat her unfairly."

"My mansion doesn't even care about this little bit of money."

Mrs. Fang just glanced at Jiang Wanqiao again and continued to smile.

"Really? I heard that the Jiang family is the richest in Jiangnan. Madam Pei is so arrogant, could it be that... she wants Madam Pei to pay the money?"

Mrs. Pei's heart skipped a beat.

She knew very well that it was absurd to use her daughter-in-law's dowry as a betrothal gift.

Such things can be done secretly, but they cannot be put on the table.

Otherwise, if the news gets out, how will others talk about their mansion?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Pei seemed to have her worries touched upon, and she defended herself with some urgency.

"Nonsense! My mansion has been run by generations, how could I covet my daughter-in-law's wealth?"

Mrs. Fang raised her eyebrows, looking unconvinced.

"Oh? Really? Madam Pei wouldn't say that, but then sign a contract in the name of Madam Pei!"

"When the Marquis' Mansion can't come up with the money, let Madam Pei make up for it..."

Mrs. Pei became even more furious when her secret was revealed again. She no longer cared about the money and immediately turned to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, bring me the contract. I've ordered this dress. Please send someone to the Marquis' Mansion today to take Miss Shen's measurements and have the dress altered as soon as possible!"

"The deposit can be withdrawn from the public treasury by the steward of the Marquis' Mansion!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper of Jinluoge immediately smiled and responded.

"Madam, you are so kind to loyal people. Your generosity is truly unmatched."

"Come here, bring the deed here for Madam to review!"

God knows, this wedding dress made of brocade is precious, but it is too precious and ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Most of these truly wealthy families embroider their own wedding dresses, or have them custom-made by famous embroidery masters according to their preferences.

The world is not doing well these days. Although this wedding dress is called the treasure of the store, it is actually very difficult to sell it.

He finally found this sucker who made the purchase without even checking the price. Wouldn’t he be happy?

So, with the shopkeeper almost unable to suppress his smile, the contract was quickly brought up.

Mrs. Pei looked at the price on the contract, which was even more shocking than she had imagined. Under Mrs. Fang's gaze, she pretended to be calm and stamped her private seal on it.

But my heart aches.

This wedding dress alone is worth one-third of the public's money...

But then she thought about it.

Well, Jiang Wanqiao is always there to back me up.

She turned around and told her not to let anyone else know.

...

What Mrs. Pei didn't expect was that when she took Jiang Wanqiao away from Jinluoge, Mrs. Fang had no intention of parting with them.

Instead, he said he would go shopping with her.

She couldn't chase her away in broad daylight, so she had to swallow her disgust and let her follow her.

But since Madam Fang was around, she put on a lot of pretense. Even though the furniture, jade pieces from famous artists, and ancient zithers that Luoluo later showed her were more valuable than she had expected, she signed the contract without blinking an eye.

The group of people strolled around until after noon before parting ways.

When they parted, Mrs. Fang asked her enthusiastically if she wanted to go to Tianxiang Tower for lunch and chat before leaving.

Mrs. Pei felt depressed.

For the past half day, she spoke in a sarcastic tone and argued with her daughter. However, Jiang Wanqiao seemed to be silent and could not say a useful word for a long time.

She was so angry that she was full of anger, and she still had to eat lunch!

He rejected Mrs. Fang's "kindness" with a stiff face.

It was not until they were on the carriage on their way back that Mrs. Pei gave Song Wan a displeased look and began to complain belatedly.

"That girl Luluo is really reckless. The things she looked at today were too expensive."

"Why are you carving Yan'er and Jiahe's names on those jades?"

No matter how valuable the item is, it is difficult to sell it if it has a name engraved on it.

Song Wan only used Mrs. Pei's own words to stop her.

"Miss Shen is of noble status, so the Marquis' Mansion naturally cannot neglect her."

"Wouldn't it be more meaningful to engrave the names of my husband and Miss Shen and the words 'May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years' on those items?"

"My husband and Miss Shen are both elegant people. I believe they will like it!"

Mrs. Pei was speechless for a moment, but thinking that she had indeed agreed to it today, she didn't want to continue to argue.

That's it.

It’s settled now.

Seeing that the Marquis' Mansion attaches so much importance to Jiahe, the Empress Dowager will certainly be very satisfied.

The Marquis' Mansion finally enjoyed a period of prosperity.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Pei's mood improved. After all, although she was framed by the Fang family today, at least she had regained some face in terms of "financial resources", which was worth it.

"Well, except for the wedding dress, all I saw today were ornaments. Are the rest of the gold and silver jewelry, shops, and farms all listed?"

"Just tell me what you think, and I can give you some advice."

Song Wan showed a look of embarrassment when he heard this.

"Well, I was also troubled by this matter just now!

"Today I originally wanted to let Mother pick out a few things at random, but Mother was so straightforward and actually ordered everything that Luluo liked."

"There were outsiders here just now, so it's hard for your daughter-in-law to persuade you. After we go back, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Luluo to carefully count and see how much silver is left in the treasury..."

"But I just made a rough estimate, and there shouldn't be much left, so I'm afraid I'll have to give up on those gold and silver jewelry..."

"As for the shops and farms, the Marquis' Mansion currently has three shops and one farm. Mother, do you think we should take all of them as betrothal gifts, or choose one or two? I'll listen to you!"

After Song Wan finished speaking, she looked obedient and looked at Madam Pei quietly.
