Reborn, meet you again!

Song Wan originally wanted to leave the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible and didn't want to cause any trouble.

But looking at the faces of these people from the Pei family, I thought of Jiang Wanqiao who was heartbroken and forced to death.

She suddenly changed her mind.

Anyway, the divorce requires the presence of the elders of both parties. Even if she gets the consent of Lord Pei, she has to wait until the Jiang family comes to Beijing.

According to Luoluo, it will take another seven or eight days for the Jiang family to arrive in the capital.

If she didn't trick these heartless people before leaving, she would really feel sorry for Jiang Wanqiao.

But when dealing with these shameless people, what's the point of talking big?

We have to make them bleed a little...

Song Wan thought about taking back her offensive words.

"Mother is right, times are different now!"

"Since my mother said so, I should naturally do my best."

"However... since my husband returned, my mother has kept the pair of cards from Gongzhong. I would like to ask her to return them to me for the time being."

"Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for me to go in and out."

Mrs. Pei hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

There was nothing good in the mansion before, so she naturally let Jiang Wanqiao take care of it as an empty shell.

But in the past three years, the shops in the Marquis' Mansion have gradually improved under the management of the shopkeepers brought by Jiang Wanqiao from the Jiang family. Not only have they turned losses into profits, but they also made some surpluses during the Spring Festival last year.

This time Qingyan made military achievements and the palace also rewarded him with many good things, which added up to a considerable amount of money.

She came back on the pretext of her son. Jiang Wanqiao should temporarily focus on her husband's reputation and take back the Gongzhong pair card.

Those things... she didn't want to touch them...

"Mother, is there any inconvenience?" Song Wan looked puzzled.

Mrs. Pei looked at Jiang Wanqiao, pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth, suppressed her heartache and smiled.

"That's as it should be. Don't worry, your mother will have someone deliver the cards to you later."

Although the things in the warehouse are precious, they are only two or three tenths of what she mentioned as the betrothal gifts.

She knows how to do the math.

You have to give in order to gain!

In order to make Jiang Wanqiao willingly subsidize the money, Mrs. Pei thought for a moment and added.

"You've done some stupid things these days, and you've upset Qingyan. It's not a good idea to continue this stalemate."

"If you handle this matter well, Qingyan will know your kindness, and mother will persuade him on your behalf to come to your room as soon as possible."

Song Wan rolled her eyes in disgust in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she showed an extremely sweet smile.

"Don't worry, mother. I will do this perfectly!"

"I will never let my mother down!"

Seeing Jiang Wanqiao being so well-behaved, Mrs. Pei nodded with great satisfaction.

"Okay, the wedding is next month, you have to hurry up!"

"Then go down and get busy first."

If Jiahe wasn't pregnant and was afraid that if she delayed any further people would notice something, she would have prepared the wedding carefully and made it a grand occasion!

Unfortunately, they can't take the risk now.

After all, having an affair before marriage and getting pregnant is a huge scandal no matter where it is.

"Yes! Mother!" Song Wan didn't stay long and got up and left with Hongshang and Luoluo.

After the few people left, Pei Yujiao, who had been silent all the time, immediately looked at Madam Pei with dissatisfaction.

"Mother, why did you return the matching cards from the mansion to her?"

"Her dowry is clearly enough to buy those gifts! The public funds were earned by my brother through his military merits! How can you use them so carelessly?"

She saw that among the things under the palace's skirts there was a set of extremely rare head ornaments.

It was clearly forged in the palace, and it couldn't compare to the craftsmanship Jiang Wanqiao had given her. It was a symbol of status! She was just about to find an opportunity to ask for it!

Mrs. Pei coughed lightly a few times when she heard this and winked at Pei Yujiao. Pei Yujiao immediately reacted and glanced at Shen Jiahe.

"Sister Jiahe, that's not what I meant! When welcoming my sister-in-law into the house, naturally everything will be used."

"I just think Jiang Wanqiao is a little too petty! He's still arguing with us over such a small thing! He's even planning to take over the public storage!"

Shen Jiahe naturally knew what Mrs. Pei and Pei Yujiao were thinking.

But as for Jiang Wanqiao, seeing her appearance yesterday, she thought she was a powerful person, but she turned out to be a weakling.

I guess she still couldn't let go of Pei Qingyan and the title of official wife, so she compromised.

What a fool.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiahe spoke with a gentle smile on his face.

"Sister Jiao'er, what are you thinking? How could I think that? Brother Pei and I are in love with each other. As long as I can marry him, even if I don't ask for a penny of betrothal gifts, I will be willing to do so."

"Madam, I have no direct family in Kyoto. When I marry into the Marquis's Mansion, I will bring all the betrothal gifts back to the palace, okay?"

"The Marquis' Mansion is currently undergoing revitalization, so there will definitely be expenses involved. Brother Pei's future is paramount."

Seeing that Shen Jiahe hadn't mentioned it before Mrs. Pei, she took the initiative to say it and liked the child even more.

This is much better than that stingy Jiang Wanqiao.

"Good! You're a sensible person!"

"Don't worry, the Marquis' Mansion will not treat you badly in the future! You are pregnant now, so you shouldn't work hard. When you give birth to Qingyan's first son, you will be a great contributor to the Marquis' Mansion."

"When the time comes, I will have Jiang Wanqiao hand over the stewardship back to you!"

Pei Yujiao listened to her mother's words and knew that those things would be returned and that she could reasonably turn the dowry in Jiang Wanqiao's hands into public property, so she was very happy.

She also has a share of the public property, so when she gets married in the future, she will be able to buy a decent dowry and marry off in style!

When thinking about getting married, a figure suddenly flashed through Pei Yujiao's mind.

I heard... Prince Huai will be returning to the capital soon.

In the past, when the Marquis's Mansion was in decline, he didn't dare to dream of the Prince of Huaiwang, and the Prince was entangled by the annoying Song Wan in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But now that the witch is dead, he will eventually remarry.

The standards for succession are always a little lower...

Her status has risen a bit, and with Sister Jiahe by her side, maybe one day she can also gain the favor of the Queen Mother...

Does this compromise between the two mean... that she also has a chance?

Thinking of this, Pei Yujiao's eyes were full of excitement.

"Mother is right! How can Jiang Wanqiao, a daughter of a merchant, take on the responsibility of being the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion?"

"My daughter has been embarrassed quite a bit over the past few years when she goes out with her. It's only natural that someone like Sister Jiahe is worthy of her brother!"

Shen Jiahe just looked a little worried.

"But mother... wouldn't it be inappropriate to use Sister Jiang's dowry to buy a betrothal gift?"

"If some rumors spread..."

Mrs. Pei just felt that this child was too naive.

"She's married into the Marquis' Mansion, so her things naturally belong to the Mansion. There's nothing wrong with them! Just relax."

Shen Jiahe then nodded and smiled.

"Everything is up to Madam!"
