Lu Haoran wrote with difficulty, feeling unwilling.

He was wrong. He shouldn't have agreed to demote his wife to a concubine after the wedding ceremony. He could still achieve his goal by bringing it up on the wedding night.

Everything is easy to discuss in private, but now with so many people watching them, they are in a difficult situation.

Staring at Xu Jinyi, whose expression remained cold, Lu Haoran felt extremely unwilling.

"Xiao Jin, where are you going after you leave here? It's not safe for you to be alone, why don't you stay in the mansion?"

The Marquis' eyes twinkled: "Yes, Xiaojin, if you and Haoran can't be husband and wife, you can be adopted sisters. We will take good care of you if you stay here."

In an instant, the father and son thought of another method. If they could trick people into staying now, then when the matter was settled, we could deliberately see them, and the result would be what they wanted to see.

At that time, she would have no choice but to be a concubine, and she would even be the one who was criticized for having sex.

The more he thought about it, the better this method seemed to the Marquis, and he tried his best to convince Xu Jinyi.

"No need for that. Now that the divorce has been written, there will be no relationship between our two families from now on."

"Now I am the daughter of a criminal, and the two families have no relationship, so it is not good to disturb the mansion, so as not to implicate the Marquis's mansion."

"I hope you, Master Lu, will meet a wife who is more suitable for you in the future and have a happy and fulfilling life."

Lu Haoran: "Xiaojin, I..."

"Master Lu, I am now an abandoned woman, so it is inappropriate to address me like this. When we meet in the future, Master Lu should just call me Xu."

Lu Haoran was devastated and didn't understand why the beautiful woman in front of him became so cold.

"Alright, you disgrace yourself. I'm clearly trying to distance myself from you. Don't you understand? Isn't it enough to just give up on someone you don't like?!"

Everyone sighed. They didn't expect such a wonderful wedding to end like this.

Lu Haoran looked at Xu Jinyi who left without any reluctance, and felt a sense of regret in his heart.

Liusu, who followed Xu Jinyi out, was completely confused. She glanced at Xu Jinyi secretly, not understanding why she suddenly made this choice.

Based on her understanding, she would have kept her even if she was a concubine.

"Miss, where are we going now? It will take at least five days to get back to the capital from here. Everyone is already very tired after carrying the dowry all the way here. Why don't you take a rest in the Marquis' Mansion for a day?" Liusu asked.

Xu Jinyi glanced at her coldly and said, "If you are tired, you can ask the Marquis to arrange a customer service break for you."

After saying this, without even noticing Liusu's changed expression, he turned around and got into the sedan chair.

"Mother Tong, have someone go to Yijing Garden."

Her mother also bought a lot of properties for her here as a dowry. Yijing Garden is a large mountain villa with beautiful scenery.

The manor has a stream, a lotus pond, rockery and fruit trees.

Not only that, when she bought it, the princess also thought of using it to escape the summer heat, so she dug a cellar to store ice and planted precious flowers.

That manor can be said to be the best manor in this place.

Xu Jinyi and his men left in a mighty manner, leaving behind the unwilling Lu family members.

As the guests were invited to take their seats, the Lu family members walked back to the inner hall.

The Marquis could no longer contain his anger and raised his hand to slap Lu's mother hard.

"It was all your good idea. Now, I haven't made a penny, and I spent a lot of money on the hundreds of banquets outside."

"Didn't you say that this girl is devoted to you? Didn't you say that she would definitely compromise? Look what's happened now. You've worked so hard for nothing."

The wife of the Marquis was also aggrieved: "I am doing this for this family. How could I know that the damn girl is so ungrateful?"

"She deserves to have her mansion raided. I don't think she can find a family if she leaves here. Bah!"

Lu Haoran frowned, disdaining his mother's crude behavior.

"I told you not to expose this matter in public, but now the person has run away and the dowry is gone. It cost more than 680 pieces of dowry."

"Mother, do you know that it is the family property accumulated by the general's mansion and the princess over decades? I heard that even the princess's dowry at that time is in it."

"Mom, please push this huge wealth away." Thinking of Xu Jinyi's face and graceful figure, Lu Haoran felt regretful and unwilling.

Just thinking about the feeling of a pair of legs wrapped around his waist made Lu Haoran feel ecstatic.

I was about to have a taste of her tonight, but now everything is gone.

The Marquis felt pained when he thought of the dowry: "You, you are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. You have no brains and yet you are giving advice."

The Marquis' wife was so aggrieved. The father and son took turns scolding her, and she became angry.

"You're only speaking up now. Of course, when I said it, didn't you agree with what I said? If you had any objections, you should have said it earlier. Who can you blame for the failure now?"

"It was you who wanted to save face, so you agreed to force her to submit in public. It was also you, Haoran, who said that she would definitely agree and that she loved you so much that she couldn't help herself."

Lu Xinran finally understood why she was slapped, but she still didn't know she was wrong.

"She's gone, so she's gone. With my status as a brother, are you afraid that I won't find someone better than her?"

"Mother, didn't you say you have established a connection with the Prime Minister's wife? By then, the Prime Minister's daughter will definitely have a larger dowry than hers. We don't want hers."

"Look at how well you taught your daughter. Yet you still have time to think about others. Why don't you take your daughter away and teach her well?" The Marquis roared.

The wife of the Marquis also nodded at Lu Xinran's head with a look of disappointment.

"Why are you poking me? Am I wrong? She doesn't care about us, and we despise her."

"A daughter of a traitor, whoever marries her will be in trouble."

Lu Haoran never thought that his sister would be so stupid. He said coldly, "You don't think that the dowry list your mother gave you is something that can be taken out of your family, right?"

"If Xu Jinyi's dowry was not there, when you married into the household of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, your dowry would not have been as high as 168 loads, but only 68 loads at most."

Lu Xinran's eyes widened in shock. "Why? Mother promised me that when I get married, she would prepare 168 pieces of dowry, 20 shops, and a few farms for me, so that I can get married in style."

After thinking for a while, Lu Xinran added: "There are also two shops with the best locations in Beijing."

Lu Haoran sneered sarcastically: "Without Xu Jinyi's 600-odd yuan dowry, as well as her shops, fields, and manors, how much do you think your family can give you?"

Seeing his sister's frozen face, Lu Haoran continued to attack her: "Without Xu Jinyi's dowry, if I really propose to the Prime Minister's daughter, do you think I don't need to prepare a betrothal gift?"

"When the Prime Minister's daughter marries you, do you think she will give you her dowry? You know the situation at home, so how much dowry will you have?"

Lu Xinran was not stupid after all. After listening to Lu Haoran's words, she realized what stupid thing she had just done.

The Xu Jinyi who was driven away was not Xu Jinyi at all, but the God of Wealth.
