After watching the dowry being brought out, everyone knew from Bai Zhi's words that the couple, who was envied by everyone in the capital, had divorced.

When Xu Jinyi got married, many people said she was stupid.

Later, I learned that Liu Zhuangyuan would only marry her and would not take any more concubines in his life.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhuangyuan was promoted step by step, and everyone in the capital was envious.

Especially those ladies who don't want to marry a man with a clean backyard.

So this couple is a good story in Beijing.

But now they have reconciled, and everyone sighed for a while.

They all divorced, and Bai Zhi was not afraid of making the family scandal public, so she directly talked about Xu Jinyi's life in the past three years.

As each big melon came out of Bai Zhi's mouth, everyone started talking.

"No wonder Miss Xu has been imprisoned since she hasn't been seen out for half a year."

"I'm just telling you why every time I see you, Miss Bai Zhi, you go out to buy groceries, and every time you only buy groceries."

"Poor Miss Xu, her dowry was stolen and she was imprisoned. She can't even eat meat."

"This Mr. Liu is so inhuman. As a man, I can't stand it."

"It's okay to step on Miss Xu to get the position. Now that she's useless, she abandons her and turns around to marry the princess."

"Miss Xu is a fairy-like woman. If she is willing to marry me, I would be willing to support her, but the Liu family doesn't know how to cherish her."

"Yes, when Miss Xu was unmarried, how many people wanted to marry her? She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous talented woman in the capital and has a good family background. Who wouldn't want to marry her?"

The people outside were still chattering, and Mrs. Liu followed Xu Jinyi and the others out to scold her.

Xu Jinyi wore a veil and looked at Mrs. Liu who was chasing after her with a cold look on her face.

At this time, Brother Xu wisely handed over an abacus.

Xu Jinyi looked at Mrs. Liu and started to adjust the abacus: "Let's calculate the accommodation fee first. For two and a half years, the room I will stay in will be calculated according to the inn. The first-class guest room will cost one tael of silver a day."

"It doesn't matter if it's more or less, I'll count it as one thousand taels. For the next six months, I will live in a shabby courtyard that is inferior to the servants. If you want to charge, how about I give you ten cents a day? That's one tael of silver."

"I brought here two personal maids, one of whom was beaten to death by you. Bai Ruo spent three hundred taels of silver to buy it. It's a death contract."

"Then when I got married, you took two sets of jewelry from me, which counted as three thousand taels."

"And the fabric for my dowry, one thousand taels, these were not included just now."

When Liu Yan came out and took a look, he secretly thought it was terrible.

Listening to Xu Jinyi's calculation, she has been living by selling her own jewelry for the past six months.

Liu Yan's face darkened as the people around him looked at him.

"Yi'er, don't forget it, it's our Liu family that feels sorry for you."

As he spoke, he asked someone to stop his mother.

"It's not me who wants to settle the matter, it's your mother who wants to withhold my dowry."

"She is old and confused, don't argue with her."

The people who were watching were talking about this. Then they looked at Xu Jinyi's slender figure and the clothes she was wearing.

Liu Yan looked at her with contempt, spending his wife's dowry, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really embarrassing.

"Then keep an eye on your mother, otherwise I can't guarantee that something will happen."

Stepping onto the carriage prepared by Brother Xu, Xu Jinyi and Bai Zhi finally left this prison.

When Xu Jinyi got married, she had dozens of maids and servants, but these three years have passed.

Mrs. Liu sold half of it on the grounds that she had too many maids and the monthly payment was too much.

Most of the remaining half were bribed, and Xu Jinyi had no intention of taking them away.

The carriage stopped, and before Xu Jinyi got out of the car, she heard the sound of her mother crying outside and out of breath.

When I saw her coming down, I cried even harder.

"My poor daughter, what a mess this is, wuwu..."

"Is this still what I want? Why are you so thin? Come in with mother quickly. Mother has prepared a large table of dishes for you."

Hearing this, Xu Jinyi's eyes lit up.

Even though her mother is the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, her cooking skills are top-notch.

Every year on the birthday of someone in their family, her mother would cook a meal.

It’s not easy to get it usually.

"Mom, let's go in quickly, I'm hungry."

Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment as she was being pulled toward the hall, and became even more worried when she saw her daughter, who had a brisk tone and even seemed a little happy.

"Daughter, just cry when you're sad. Don't let it go when your mother is here." Holding Xu Jinyi's hand, Mrs. Xu burst into tears.

Xu Jinyi broke into sweat when he saw it.

Her mother shouldn't think that she was divorced. She is so sad that her head is going crazy at the moment.

But shouldn’t you be happy to leave that big scumbag?

Or should she cry?

"Mom, I'm not even happy to be able to leave Liu Yan. Why are you crying? Let's have a good meal to celebrate." Pulling down the veil, Xu Jinyi said matter-of-factly.

Seeing Xu Jinyi's pointed face, Mrs. Xu held it up with both hands.

"My daughter, her curvy figure is gone, her face is sharp, and her body is all skin and bones."

Mrs. Xu was heartbroken that her beautiful daughter had become so thin.

Xu Jinyi:......

Are you sure this is her mother?

She knew who her eldest brother had inherited. One said she was ugly as a ghost, and the other said she was skinny and not human.

She looked at her mother with resentful eyes: "Mom, if you don't let me eat, I will faint from hunger."

I was so happy to know I could leave in the morning that I didn’t even eat breakfast.

Now her stomach was singing about the empty city plan.

"Eat, eat first. You don't have to wait for your father. Let's eat first."

Looking at her daughter who fell down when the wind blew, Mrs. Xu supported her with her hands.

Seeing the table full of dishes and the delicious smell, Xu Jinyi sat down directly.

Although this was against the rules, Mrs. Xu and Brother Xu didn't say anything. Instead, they served Xu Jinyi some food with distressed expressions on their faces.

The two of them served Xu Jinyi dinner together.

While Xu Jinyi ate by herself, of course she did not forget Bai Zhi who shared the same hardships.

"Baizhi, you also go down to eat. Eat well. I'll give you ten days off to have a good rest."

Then Xu Jinyi opened her hand to her eldest brother: "Brother, bring me your wallet."

Brother Xu didn't ask any questions and just handed it over.

After pouring it out, Xu Jinyi felt a little disgusted. It was only fifty taels of silver in total.

Too little.

Xu Jinyi handed them all directly to Bai Zhi: "Bai Zhi, it's up to you whether you want to go home for ten days. Take these fifty taels and treat them as compensation for you in the past three years."

Bai Zhi is also a maid under a death contract, so it stands to reason that she can have no monthly money.

But Xu Jinyi is good to her servants, so Bai Zhi can still get one tael of silver every month.

But not in the past three years. After all, Xu Jinyi didn't have any money in the past three years.
