Reborn, meet you again!

Mrs. Pei, who was just feeling a little happier, was stunned by Song Wan's words.

What does Jiang Wanqiao mean?

She knew how many things there were in the public treasury. After today, there was not much left. It was not even enough to pay the balance for the items she had ordered.

Since she took on this job, she should naturally take the initiative to make up for it.

She thought she understood what she meant.

Why now...

Mrs. Pei tried her best to maintain her expression and looked at Song Wan tentatively.

"Wan Qiao, those shops and farms are the ancestral property of the Marquisate. How can we use them as betrothal gifts..."

"Furthermore, if there is no gold, silver, or jewelry, and only the wedding dress and furniture ordered today, what will the betrothal gifts look like when they are carried out..."

"Can't you... think of something else?"

Song Wan's face was full of confusion.

"Any other idea?"

She seemed to think about it seriously, and then her eyes lit up.

"Mom, I got it!"

Mrs. Pei's heart dropped a little. She said Jiang Wanqiao was not that stupid, but pretended to be confused when she asked.

"Oh? Then tell me."

Song Wan nodded and said seriously.

"Mother is right. We must have gold, silver and jade. Otherwise, people will laugh at us."

"It's true that the ancestral property of the Marquis's Mansion is not easy to move."

"But luckily, we just ordered the items, and the stores haven't taken any action yet. We can still return them and exchange them for inferior ones. After all, once the red cloth is covered, no one will be able to tell the difference."

"The money I saved can be used to buy some gold and silver jewelry that looks impressive but is lightweight. It doesn't matter what kind of workmanship it is. It will save my face!"

"As for the farm and the shop, just tell everyone that you've given it to me. It's not public anyway, so I don't think Miss Shen would mind. What do you think, mother?"

Mrs. Pei's face darkened when she heard this.

How does she feel?

She thought it was ridiculous!

She had just personally decided on the item in front of Mrs. Fang, and now she was backing out. Where would she put her face?

I don’t know what the Fang family is plotting against her behind her back!

"Stupid! How can our mansion do such a thing as going back on our word?"

"If outsiders come here, how will they view our mansion, and how will they view Yan'er?"

Song Wan was scolded by Mrs. Pei and seemed very aggrieved.

"The daughter-in-law has no other choice."

"Mother also knows that even the best cook cannot cook without rice..."

Mrs. Pei was speechless for a moment. She couldn't ask her to use her own dowry to make up for the loss.

This kind of thing can only be done by her on her own initiative, just like the past three years, otherwise it will inevitably give people something to talk about.

But hasn't Jiang Wanqiao always been very smart in this regard?

Whenever she and Yue'er mentioned that something was missing, she would immediately ask someone to deliver it. To save their face, she would also say that she was just giving it to them for their enjoyment and told them not to worry about it.

Why did she suddenly become so inflexible at this critical moment?

Thinking about how ugly Jiang Wanqiao had been a few days ago, it was possible that after she woke up from her suicide, although she accepted Jiahe's marriage into the Pei Mansion, she was still unhappy in her heart.

So you are not willing to take the money?

Then he handed over all matters to a little girl, and asked her to come in person today, and he did not interfere.

The more Mrs. Pei thought about it, the more she felt that this must be the case, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction for the time being.

"Forget it. The wedding is still some time away. There's no rush. We can think about it slowly."

"There will always be an idea..."

Qingyan has not yet consummated his marriage with Jiang Wanqiao.

She felt uncomfortable and wanted to take it to task.

It seems that Qingyan has to step in and coax her personally in this matter.

Just as Mrs. Pei was thinking, the carriage suddenly shook violently for some unknown reason, and Mrs. Pei almost fell forward.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Pei, who was feeling annoyed, couldn't help but shout angrily after steadying herself.

The carriage had come to a complete stop at this time. Upon hearing Mrs. Pei's question, the driver's somewhat panicked voice soon came from outside.

"Husband, Madam...someone is...blocking the way."

Mrs. Pei became more and more impatient listening to the hesitating voice. Without thinking too much, she directly ordered the maid next to her to lift the curtain and said.

"Which family? Tell them first, let us..."

But as the curtain was lifted, Mrs. Pei's voice was suddenly swallowed back.

In front of the Pei Mansion's magnificent carriage, there was a team of cavalrymen wearing black armor and with solemn faces.

It looked like there were nearly a hundred people.

The leader sat tall on his horse, with a hideous ghost mask covering his face, which still shone with a cold light even in the afternoon sun.

Even though Mrs. Pei was ignorant, as a member of the imperial family, she quickly guessed the identity of the person in front of her.

Regent, Jun Jiuchen.

But the road they are on now is not wide.

and so.

Their carriage blocked their way.

"The Black Armor Guards are on duty! Why don't you get out of the way?"

A somewhat rough-looking man saw that the group of people in front of him did not move, so he rode forward and shouted.

Mrs. Pei was so frightened by this murderous man that her heart skipped a beat and she forgot to speak for a moment.

The man raised his eyebrows and was about to urge again when the only other man in white in the team suddenly appeared from behind the burly man.

The man did not have a cold and resolute expression like the black-armored guards behind him. Instead, he had a fair complexion and a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes. He called out softly.

"Huodu, don't be rude!"

Then, he shifted his gaze to the inside of the carriage, gently waved the feather fan in his hand, and spoke politely.

"The Black Armor Guards are rushing to confiscate our property. Could you please take a detour, Madam?"

When Song Wan saw this "elegant" young man in white, her first reaction was...isn't he cold?

Of course, now that she was Jiang Wanqiao, she didn't dare to ask.

He glanced at Mrs. Pei, whose face turned pale when she heard the word "confiscation of property", and thought to himself.

This is really a bully.

But she was still a member of the Pei family and didn't want to get into any trouble, so she could only return a polite smile to the man in white and spoke loudly.

"That's what I should do!"

"But you may not know, sir, the nearest fork in the road behind us is about two hundred meters away, and the carriage we are riding in today is too large to turn around."

"If we use human power to drive the carriage backward, it will probably take quite a while. This... is really difficult to do."

"Why don't you come up with an idea, sir? We will fully cooperate!"

It wasn't that she intended to compete with the Black Armor Guards for priority.

She had also heard a little about the "bad reputation" of the Black Armor Guards in Shangjing City, and she was not stupid enough to fight against them with an egg against a rock for such a small matter.

The truth is, these people seemed to have urgent matters to attend to. If she didn't explain, and if things were delayed, it might cause even more trouble.

After all, she had no idea what the regent's temper was like.

She just didn't dare to ask the Black Armored Guards to make way for them.

So the best way right now is...

Throw the decision back to them.

In this way, no matter what, the results cannot be blamed on them.
