Mrs. Liu returned home after holding back her anger, and learned that her son had vomited blood in the street and was sent home.

He was immediately frightened and ran towards Liu Yan's yard.

A young man vomiting blood is not a sign of longevity.

When Xu Jinyi returned home, the Xu family suddenly became lively.

"Sister, you are really my sister. How can you become so beautiful after living in the palace for half a month?"

Brother Xu always had something to say when he spoke. As soon as he said this, Mrs. Liu pinched his ears.

"This is my daughter. She is so beautiful. What does it have to do with living in the palace?"

Everyone expressed concern for Xu Jinyi, and then asked Qi Yichen about the situation there.

Several men in the Xu family were still a little worried about Xu Jinyi's marriage to the prince.

"Yi'er, the prince's legs have improved a bit now. Have you ever thought about that position he will take in the future? What about you?"

Xu Jinyi looked careless: "Father and mother, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, the prince will not let me down."

Seeing her eldest brother's mouth about to open, Xu Jinyi said before he could speak: "Don't compare him to a scumbag, Liu Yan is not worthy."

The people here looked happy and happy, but the Liu family was just the opposite.

After Liu Yan woke up, he didn't say anything about what happened when Mrs. Liu asked.

Mrs. Liu stopped asking questions, glanced at her son who was still a little pale, and asked: "Son, how much money do you have in your private treasury? There are a lot of monthly expenses in this mansion. How much money is there in the accounting office?" There is not enough money for expenses.”

Liu Yan frowned: "Isn't there a total of 20,000 taels of silver in the accounting office? Why is there not enough money in just over two months?"

Mother is the housekeeper of the family and has always taken care of all matters, big and small, and Liu Yan has never interfered.

Moreover, Liu Yan believed that his mother had endured hardship all his life, and now that he was finally prosperous and living in a big house, his mother wanted the right to manage the house, so Liu Yan gave it to her.

Even after Xu Jinyi came to the house, Mrs. Liu was still the housekeeper, so Liu Yan didn't know how much the house's monthly expenses were.

However, after Xu Jinyi and Li took away her dowry, Liu Yan still knew how much money was left in the accounting room.

In just two months, there are not many maids in the house, how could they be all spent?

Mrs. Liu's expression froze: "Don't those ladies always ask me to go shopping? Then everyone is shopping, so I can't go back empty-handed every time."

"Didn't you ask me to hang out with those ladies more?"

Liu Yan glanced at his mother's expression: "Twenty thousand taels, how much is left now?"

Seeing her son continue to ask, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to tell the truth: "Originally, there were more than 6,000 taels left today. If it hadn't been for that bitch, how could I have spent more than 5,000 taels to buy that complete set of jewelry."

"I just wanted to go and take a look. I didn't plan to buy it. It's all that bitch's fault."

Knowing that the bitch in her mother's mouth must be Xu Jinyi, Liu Yan asked what was going on.

After hearing this, he was not very angry: "Mom, please bring that jewelry. I will pawn it somewhere else when I have time, otherwise the family will really have no money."

"I don't have ten thousand taels in my private treasury. I'll go to a pawn shop in the town outside the capital in two days. If you have any unused jewelry or something, prepare it and I'll pawn it too."

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened: "Can't the family even come up with money for expenses?"

Although that set of jewelry cost more than five thousand taels and was very expensive, Mrs. Liu actually liked it very much after buying it. She had never worn such expensive jewelry before?

In fact, she can accept it if she doesn't retreat.

Then Mrs. Liu immediately thought of the princess and said anxiously: "Where is the princess? Is there any news from the princess? Has the emperor not let go yet?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yan's face also darkened, and he didn't know what was going on. The princess had been ignoring him recently.

The two of them met less and less often, and even when they did meet the princess, her attitude towards him was very strange.

As Liu Yan's mother, she knew what was going on just by looking at his expression.

"I told you that you shouldn't agree to divorce that bitch and let her leave with the dowry. Look! Now you have nothing."

"Is there any hope for the princess? You should wait until the princess is sure before you reconcile."

"Or maybe we shouldn't be afraid of offending the Xu family and choose to reconcile, and directly demote Xu Jinyi as a concubine. The dowry is still ours."

After all, Mrs. Liu was still reluctant to part with the large dowry.

Liu Yan was also upset: "Mom, stop talking, what's the use of talking about it now."

After sending his mother away, Liu Yan began to look at the room where he and Xu Jinyi lived.

At this time, he noticed Xu Jinyi's dressing table, walked over and opened the drawer, and found a few inconspicuous trinkets inside.

Looking at each item, I instantly remembered what Xu Jinyi said the day he left.

Indeed, after Xu Jinyi got married, his mother used excuses several times to take away pieces of expensive jewelry from her.

Although the remaining jewelry was not valuable, Liu Yan still collected it.

We plan to pawn it together in two days.

A small box in the corner caught his attention. He thought it might be some valuable jewelry, so he took it and opened it.

He frowned. It turned out to be just some scrolls and papers underneath.

Liu Yan picked up a painting at random and opened it casually.

The moment I saw the painting, my expression became shocked and stunned...

This is not a famous painting, but it was painted by Xu Jinyi himself.

In the painting, it was the day when he was admitted to the first prize and paraded through the streets on horseback.

In the painting, he is riding a horse, walking on a busy street with a flower ball tied to his body, looking up with an arrogant and casual expression, and the amazement in his eyes is also vividly painted.

The painting brings my thoughts back to that day.

That was the first time he met Xu Jinyi, and the surprise in his eyes was seeing her beautiful standing in front of the restaurant window.

Liu Yan had always known that Xu Jinyi was good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but this was the first time he saw his paintings.

Unexpectedly, her painting skills have reached the point where she can turn clouds into flowing water.

In the painting, his appearance and eyes are all so lifelike and lifelike, as if he had just stepped out of the painting.

There are two poems next to this painting: The people on Mo are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.

Liu Yan gently put down the painting in her hand and opened the second one. This time, it was not only him, but also herself.

It was the Lantern Festival of their first year as a couple, and they were guessing lantern riddles at a street stall at night.

He was seriously guessing the lantern riddles with a high-spirited smile on his face, while she was looking at him with a focused expression and her fiery eyes.

This painting is so vivid and lively that the woman in the painting is looking at her sweetheart's expression.
