Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Chapter 104 Do I have to abandon my parents’ home after getting married?

Yunyang led everyone to deliver the lychees to the island in the middle of the lake, simmered them with ice, and according to Xie Zhaozhao's arrangement, loaded five baskets with a horse-drawn carriage, about 500 kilograms of lychees and delivered them to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Mo Yan and Guan Yan to send some lychees to the first and second wives respectively, and she personally led people to deliver a basket to the old lady.

The old lady was humiliated because of the witchcraft incident. It was impossible for her to control Xie Zhaozhao and make her give up her dowry willingly.

Xie Zhaozhao brought lychees over. She grabbed a few and said in surprise, "These lychees are really good. They are as big as little eggs."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Not only is it big, the core is small, and the flesh is very sweet."

The old lady ate a few of them. They were so delicious that she ate more than ten of them in a short while.

A basket weighs hundreds of pounds. Such high-quality lychees must cost hundreds of taels of silver, right?

The old lady was jealous again, saying that the third lady was too rich!

As they were talking, Mrs. Tu and Mrs. Lu both arrived, and they were naturally very grateful to Xie Zhaozhao.

Mrs. Lu said, "Mother, I would like to borrow the lychees from my third brother's wife today. I want to go to my mother's house and bring some for them to taste."

The old lady nodded: "Speaking of this, I also want to ask the third lady, our house has been divided up like this, have you given some to the in-laws?"

Xie Zhaozhao said: "I am about to ask for leave from my mother. I want to send a basket to my grandmother while it is still fresh."

The old lady said, "Then you should go, and don't forget to bring good news to my in-laws for me."

When Xie Zhaozhao went out, Lu followed him out.

Mrs. Lu thanked him profusely and said that she had never had so many fresh lychees before.

Xie Zhaozhao said that he also got it with the help of a friend.

Mrs. Lu said with some longing: "Third sister-in-law, if you have any way to make money, please help the second wife. I can't say that I have other abilities in the mansion, but I can still be your spy."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't want to talk to her any more. She didn't want to deal with anyone in Pingyang Marquis's Mansion.

Even if Lu wants to be her dog, he is not qualified. He is a fence-sitter and cannot be trusted.

You shouldn't deal with people who are fence-sitters for too long. Not only can you not open up to them, but they are even worse than the worst.

She asked Moyan and Guanyan to put a basket of litchis on her carriage and went to Xie Mansion with Manman.

The old lady sent Taxue to chase and peek, and Taxue did not go back until Xie Zhaozhao's carriage went out, walked two streets and headed towards Xie's mansion.

Report to the old lady: "The third lady's carriage only has a basket of lychees, which is exactly the same as your basket."

The old lady nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

Xie Zhaozhao walked all the way to Xie Mansion. After walking two blocks, the guard beside her reported to her: "Miss, the people who followed in the Marquis Mansion have returned."

"How shameless! Clearly each room was given a basket for free, but the old lady even sent someone to monitor whether we gave extra to our mother's family! If we had known this would happen, what would have happened if we hadn't given them any?"

Manman was so angry that she yelled at him. She was simple-minded and always aggressive.

Xie Zhaozhao patted her hands and said with a smile, "Why are you angry? It's easier to guard against people with thin eyelids like this. I have already made arrangements."

Entering the street outside Xie's mansion, he slowed down his pace slightly, and soon saw Yunyang driving a large carriage towards him.

The carriage was loaded with lychees, twice as many as those given to the Marquis' Mansion.

The old lady wanted to embezzle her dowry, take all Gu Shaoyu's salary, and let her cut off her relationship with the Xie family?

How can it be!

She has received favors from the Xie family, her father, grandmother, brother, and aunt. She wants to protect the Xie family in this life, and her heart cannot leave the Xie family.

She and Gu Shaoyu are now considered to be in harmony with each other, but she would not abandon the Xie family and her family members for him.

What’s more, there are ungrateful people like the old marquis’ wife and Mrs. Tu, who have been ungrateful for two lifetimes.

Lao Qin had received a report long ago that the eldest lady was coming, and not only him, but also the people from the second house were waiting at the door.

When they saw her arriving, they immediately opened the door and welcomed her into the mansion.

Her grandmother also greeted her personally and held her hand as she walked into Wutong Garden.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Lao Qin to move the lychees to Wutong Garden, and her grandmother had the final say on how to divide them in the mansion.

Grandmother held her hand and asked if she was comfortable living in the mansion and if Lord Gu was okay.

They are always words of worry.

Xie Zhaozhao answered one by one. She was really relieved now. Not only did Lord Gu trust her and not trap her in the backyard, they also did not have separate houses. He even gave all his assets to her when she did overseas business.

There was something fishy about the basket of lychees in Xie Zhaozhao's carriage, so she asked Mo Yan and Yun Yang to carry it to the old lady's inner room.

Mrs. Xie had been waiting for her for a long time. She thanked her profusely and said that Mr. Xie was working very hard in the Salt and Iron Bureau and was a perfect person, so she could not worry.

Xie Zhaozhao had heard from Gu Shaoyu that his second uncle was a talent tailor-made for the Salt and Iron Bureau.

This man is extremely cunning, yet he is not treacherous enough to be described. He keeps a tight rein on the purse of His Majesty, and no one has ever reported him. Not only does he keep the money tight, but he also keeps increasing taxes. He is a natural born bureaucrat.

The second wife knows how to be grateful and is very respectful to her father and brother, which is really rare.

Just mentioning Xie Jue, Second Aunt got a headache: "He doesn't like to study, he just likes to wield swords and sticks. Your Second Uncle and I are really mad."

Xie Zhaozhao called Xie Jue over, and Xie Jue felt awkward and a little embarrassed.

My eldest sister is highly respected at home and is the most noble lady in Daqian. I don’t like studying and always feel inferior in front of my eldest sister.

Xie Zhaozhao remembered that in his previous life, this cousin also didn't like to study. He was forced into a corner by his uncle and aunt. He first hung around in Beijing, then escaped and joined the border army, and later died in the army.

It seems that without good skills, it is difficult to achieve great things just by relying on courage. How can it be easy to become a general?

She looked at Xie Jue and asked, "Second brother, do you dream of becoming a general?"

Xie Jue nodded bravely: "Sister, I like fighting, riding horses, and killing enemies."

"Have you ever thought that you will die if you join the army? And the chances are very high?"

"Sister, I am not afraid of death or pain..."

"Of course you are not afraid of death, because you are unfilial and have no conscience." Madam Xie II scolded, "The entire Xie Mansion is full of scholars, with so many role models, but you just don't learn from them!"

Xie Jue twisted his neck and refused to accept.

Xie Zhaozhao said to Mrs. Xie: "Second Aunt, there are thousands of ways to become successful, and studying is not necessarily the only way. Since he doesn't like studying, it's useless to force him. Time will pass day by day, and his life will be wasted in the blink of an eye. It's better to let him do what he likes and do it to the extreme without any regrets."

If he wanted to be a general, she would give him the chance.
