Mother Tong, who was standing by, finally understood what the master and servant were saying, and her body was shaking with anger.

"They...they..."

Xu Jinyi saw that Tong's mother couldn't even stand steadily, so he quickly helped her sit down.

"Don't be angry, Mommy Tong. It's not worth it for those two bitches. Besides, I didn't lose anything. Fortunately, I found out not too late. If I had waited until I got married to find out about their affair, it would have been disgusting."

Tong's mother also cried: "Miss, you have been wronged."

Liuli wiped the tears from Tong's mother's eyes and said, "Miss, I just heard Master Lu and Liusu asking about your dowry. I'm afraid they are eyeing your dowry. What should we do?"

"Don't worry, I secretly had someone move the dowry out through the secret passage last night. It's in a very safe place now."

"Liuli, wait a minute and let..." After thinking for a while, Xu Jinyi rolled his eyes cunningly.

Then she whispered a plan that had suddenly occurred to her, and Liuli's eyes lit up when she heard it.

"That's what we have to do. It will make Master Lu so angry that he dies. Hiccup~"

"Miss, I'll take Liusu to the warehouse door in a moment."

Xu Jinyi looked at her hiccups with amusement and poured her a full glass of water: "Drink slowly, and you won't hiccup after you finish."

Liuli took it happily and said, "Thank you, Miss. You are so kind. Liuli is so lucky to have such a good master like you. Don't worry, Miss. I will never be like Liusu. I will stay with you all my life."

Mother Tong looked at Liuli lovingly, and suddenly realized that it was better for the maid to be a little stupid, because being too smart would easily give rise to other thoughts.

Thinking of what she had said to the princess before, if Liuli was too honest to be a dowry maid, it would easily cause the young lady to suffer, Mother Tong looked at Liuli guiltily.

She was just short-sighted. Liuli girl was a good one.

"There's some green bean paste in the kitchen. Liuli girl, go have a bowl too."

"Thank you, Mother Tong. I'll go right away."

A quarter of an hour later, Liusu brought Lu Haoran closer.

Lu Haoran has always known that Xu Jinyi is very beautiful. After all, she is the most beautiful woman in the capital.

But this time when we met, I was still deeply struck by her beauty.

One of them is in the capital, and the other is in a small town here. The distance is not too far, but not close either. After getting engaged over the years, they actually haven't met very often.

The most frequent communication was through letters. Yesterday, Xu Jinyi was wearing a complicated and dignified wedding dress, and only her curvy figure could be seen under the dress.

But today she was wearing a skirt that reached her chest, and her proud features were almost unable to be covered, and looked like they were about to jump out. Lu Haoran was stunned for a moment.

He never knew she was so beautiful, and her charm seemed natural.

One look can make people fall in love with you.

A feeling of regret surged in his heart, and what Lu Haoran wanted most at this moment was to turn back time.

Back to yesterday, he would definitely not let his mother do this. In this way, the beauty would be his and the money would be his too.

Lu Haoran's throat was dry. He glanced at Mother Tong and the maids outside the door and said, "Xiao Jin, do I have something to tell you?"

"Call me Xu, Master Lu, don't you understand? There is no relationship between you and me now, so don't call me so intimately, or you will get gossiped about."

"Besides, since you are an outsider meeting me, it would be better if these servants were here."

Lu Haoran looked at her with a sad look on his face: "Xiao Jin, have you really loved me? Otherwise, why are you so cold to me?"

Xu Jinyi stared at the corners of his lips: "Hey, why are the corners of the prince's lips a little red? How come they look so similar..."

Lu Haoran wiped his lips in panic, thinking that he had gotten Liusu's lipstick on his lips.

"Maybe I got my red stain from eating the candied haws just now. Xiaojin, I really love you. Please come back with me."

"I told you very clearly that day that even though my family has collapsed, my dignity is still there. Since I have decided to divorce, I will never look back."

Lu Haoran couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he still said, "Since you have made up your mind, I still hope you can go back with me."

"Xiaojin, it's not wise to return to the capital in your family's current situation. You don't know what's waiting for you."

"Now that you live here, do you know how many people are watching you? You have such a large dowry, and I heard that those bandits are ready to make a move. There are many new faces in the town these days."

"I am really worried about your safety, Xiaojin. Pingyang Marquis's Mansion is guarded by soldiers. You should come back and live with me. When it is safe, you can leave if you want. I will never stop you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will hire more guards. Please don't worry about it."

"I have divorced you, which means I have no relationship with your family. It would be inappropriate for me to move in with my dowry at this time."

Seeing that she was unmoved, Lu Haoran was distressed: "Xiao Jin, don't be angry with me. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have let my parents make the decision that day."

"I regretted it the moment you left me, Xiaojin, why can't you give me another chance?"

Xu Jinyi just looked at him and said, "Your Highness, you want me to talk about this separately, right?"

"If that's the case, then listen carefully. The prince remained silent that day and acquiesced to your father's suggestion to demote his wife to a concubine. Didn't that mean he agreed to his decision?"

"When I proposed a divorce, your family's reaction was so interesting. Didn't they assume I would sacrifice myself to stay and that I loved you?"

"Why? I didn't stay as you expected. Seeing the large amount of dowry that has nothing to do with you, I came here eagerly."

"Isn't it for the dowry that the prince came to visit you?"

Xu Jinyi's words were so affirmative that they touched Lu Haoran's heart. He couldn't help but take a half step back.

The dirtiest side of him was revealed, and Lu Haoran's face turned ugly, with shame and anger on his face: "I'm doing this for your own good, how could you think so much about our family?"

"Yes, your general's mansion is higher than my family's, and the dowry is huge and considerable, but our Pingyang Marquis Mansion will not set its eyes on the bride's dowry and do such a despicable thing no matter how poor it is."

"Am I so unbearable in your heart?" Lu Haoran said with empathy, but he didn't expect Xu Jinyi to actually nod.

"You know what Master Lu is thinking, and you know even more clearly whether he has any intentions on the dowry."

"You!" Lu Haoran looked at Xu Jinyi's clear eyes and suddenly understood.

"You knew, didn't you? You knew it a long time ago, didn't you? So you just went along and asked for the divorce papers, didn't you?"

"What else?" Xu Jinyi asked back, with mockery in his eyes.
