Reborn, meet you again!

Mrs. Pei's mouth twitched. Looking at the aggressive Jiang Wanqiao and the girl who was acting so fake, her expression was very unpleasant.

Just now, she clearly saw that Jiang Zheng had believed them.

How come when the time came, Liu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly showed up?

Moreover, Jiang Zheng actually listened to her so much?

Mrs. Pei was about to speak to make excuses, but Pei Yujiao, who had been watching in the back hall, could no longer stay and suddenly walked out.

Because the Jiang family was present, she did not call Jiang Wanqiao by her name as she did in the past.

Instead, she acted like the legitimate daughter of a marquisate and appeared to be speaking in a reasonable manner.

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Since you are married into the Marquis' Mansion, we are one family."

"Although the situation at the Marquis' Mansion was not good at the time, it was only temporary. Mother trusted you and entrusted the household affairs to you. What's wrong with that?"

"But my sister-in-law didn't give any instructions. She let a group of servants break into my house and my mother's house without permission. They took out everything in our house without any objection. How is this different from vandalism?"

"Those things were sent here by my sister-in-law herself. If she wants to take them back, just tell me and mother!"

"My mansion is so big, even if it is not good enough, it will not swallow up your things."

"My mother was kind enough not to argue with my sister-in-law, so why is she trying to turn the tables on me today?"

Mrs. Pei felt that it would be better for Pei Yujiao to say this, so she did not stop her.

Only after she finished speaking did he hypocritically blame her for being ignorant.

Unexpectedly, Song Wan not only did not refute Pei Yujiao's words, but instead followed Pei Yujiao's words and spoke.

"I never said there was anything wrong with Madam Pei handing over the household expenses to me. It's just that Madam Pei just kept saying it was for my own good, which was a bit biased, so I just wanted to correct her slightly..."

"After all, as soon as the reward from the palace came back, Mother immediately took back the matching cards, didn't she?"

"However, you're right about one thing. The reason I brought back what belongs to me... isn't it because I'm afraid you'll eat my things?"

"After all, Madam Pei and General Pei took great pains to prepare the betrothal gifts for Miss Shen..."

Song Wan said this and turned to look at Jiang Zheng and Liu.

"Mother should still remember that when the Marquis's family first married me into the family, the betrothal gifts totaled only one thousand taels."

"But now, in order to marry Miss Shen, the Pei family has to pay a whopping 230,000 taels of silver as a betrothal gift!"

"Although the shop at the Marquis' Mansion has been doing well over the past two years, including the reward General Pei received from the palace this time, the total amount of money in the public treasury is only 30,000 taels."

"Mrs. Pei asked me to use these 30,000 taels to buy a betrothal gift of 230,000 taels..."

"What do Father and Mother think...what do they mean by this?"

When Jiang Zheng heard the number 230,000 taels, he was slightly stunned for a moment.

Thirty thousand taels and two hundred and thirty thousand taels are not a small discrepancy. Even if Mrs. Pei is confused and doesn't know how to do accounting, she can't fail to see it.

He wasn't worried about the money, but if it was true as his daughter said, the attitude of the Marquisate towards Miss Shen would be very intriguing...

Mrs. Pei saw that the situation was not right and spoke hurriedly with a righteous look.

"Wan Qiao, it was mother who made the decision."

"But Miss Shen is the Empress Dowager's cousin after all. I also thought that since she must marry into the family, it would be better to make this matter more glamorous and save face for the Marquis' Mansion."

"You know, the Marquis' Mansion declined in recent years, and people have laughed at it a lot. Didn't your mother also receive a lot of cold treatment when she went out for social events during these years?"

"Now that Yan'er has achieved military merit, if we can use this opportunity to restore some reputation for the Marquisate, and satisfy the Empress Dowager, it will be of great benefit to Yan'er's future career. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

"Besides, the maid from the Shen family said that all the betrothal gifts will be brought back to the Marquis' Mansion and returned to the public treasury, although there is still a difference between the money in the public treasury and your own private property."

"But you are Yan'er's legal wife. When you give birth to a child, he will be the legitimate son of the Marquisate. Aren't these things still yours? It's just a formality!"

"If you want to divorce because of this, just pretend that mother never said anything. Mother will never force you!

Jiang Zheng felt better after hearing what Mrs. Pei said.

As for the fact that the Marquis' Mansion had fallen into such a state three years ago, this was the first time that his daughter mentioned it, but it was not a bad thing for them.

He was originally worried that his daughter would be looked down upon after marrying into such a high-ranking family, but if the Marquis's Mansion was really that destitute, his daughter would become even more important and would be valued more, wouldn't she?

Otherwise, how could a new bride be in charge of the household affairs as soon as she enters the house?

In the future, when the Marquis' Mansion prospers, he will be able to remember the kindness of his own daughter more and more.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zheng advised.

"Qiao Qiao, my son-in-law has just made military achievements. If he just wants to save face, it's no big deal."

"Your mother is right. We are all family after all."

When Mrs. Pei heard Jiang Zheng's words, she finally felt a little relieved.

But immediately, Song Wan's voice rang out again.

She looked at Jiang Zheng and spoke word by word.

"Father said this because he didn't know the identity of Miss Shen."

"That Miss Shen is not just the daughter of an old friend of the Pei family, but General Pei's childhood sweetheart, and they are in love with each other!"

"Don't worry about your father laughing at you, but my daughter and General Pei haven't consummated their marriage yet!"

"Let's not talk about whether we will have children in the future. Even if we do, General Pei once told my daughter that he felt he owed Miss Shen the position of principal wife. If he were to obtain the title in the future, Miss Shen's children would inherit it... As for my children, it all depends on my own luck."

"In this case, does Father still think it's okay?"

Mrs. Pei had no idea that her son had actually said such things to Jiang Wanqiao, and was about to forcefully say that Jiang Wanqiao had made it up in order to get a divorce.

After all, she has no evidence to support her claims.

But Song Wan raised her voice and continued.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell Father that Miss Shen... is now pregnant!"
