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

She must eat this bowl of dumplings? Ha!

Good etiquette is for people who pay attention to etiquette to see.

No matter who is behind Ruhua, there is no need to give him face.

Xie Zhaozhao put down his chopsticks and said to Ruhua, "This bowl of dumplings is given to you as a reward. Eat it and I'll give you fifty taels of silver."

Manman and Yuanyuan also noticed the problem. Manman picked up the dumplings and stuffed them into Ruhua's mouth with a smile: "Sister Ruhua, my wife gave you this as a reward. You can't refuse it."

Ruhua refused again and again, and said with an awkward smile: "Third Madam, please forgive me. If I take away your blessing, how can I live?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled faintly and said to the old lady and Mrs. Tu, "This bowl of dumplings was brought by Ruhua. I didn't even touch it. I gave it to her as a reward. Do mother and sister-in-law have any objections?"

Mrs. Lu was almost jealous. She gave fifty taels of silver for a bowl of dumplings for Xie Zhaozhao? This was a huge gift from heaven!

She wants to eat it.

Ruhua didn't dare to eat it at all and kept making excuses.

Manman was furious and said, "Ruhua, how dare you refuse the master's reward?"

Yuanyuan also shouted: "Or is there poison in the bowl of dumplings you brought?"

The word "poisonous" scared everyone. They put down their chopsticks and looked over here.

The old lady was furious and said, "Ruhua, why are you making excuses? Eat the dumplings."

The noise in the inner room attracted the attention outside, and Gu Shaoyu pricked up his ears to listen to his wife's voice.

When he heard Xie Zhaozhao ordering Ruhua to eat the dumplings, he said in a coercive manner: "Mother, whoever brings the dumplings should eat them!"

He then ordered Yuanyuanman: "Take two dumplings out of Madam's bowl and show them to me."

Yuanyuan used chopsticks to put two dumplings into a small bowl and brought it out to show Gu Shaoyu. Seeing that the situation was going nowhere, the old lady shouted at Ruhua, "Eat it, or I'll beat your father, mother, and brother to death."

Gu Chengyan also said: "Ruhua, what can a big pot of dumplings have? Aunt San asked you to eat, so you ate. This is a blessing, and you should eat it well."

Ruhua had no choice but to eat a bowl of dumplings in front of everyone with a fearless attitude.

She originally thought that she would be poisoned if she ate it, and was prepared for a stomachache and a headache, but in the end -

It didn't hurt at all, and it was extremely comfortable, dizzy and soft, as if I saw an endless garden and a warm spring breeze!

Her parents said to her, "We don't have to be slaves anymore. We have our own yard. Look how big it is."

In a daze, she saw Gu Chengyan gently say to her: "Ruhua, I have always been attracted by you..."

Ruhua was lazy and confused in public, and acted very seductively.

The women present were all experienced people, and even the maids understood the situation pretty well.

There is indeed poison in these dumplings, the kind that makes people look ugly.

Xie Zhaozhao angrily said to the old lady: "Mother, the mansion must give me an explanation. Why is this bowl of dumplings of mine poisonous?"

The old lady was furious. She and Mrs. Lu all ate dumplings. Except for Ruhua, everyone else was normal.

Need I say more? The conspiracy was against Xie Zhaozhao.

Outside, Gu Shaoyu was already "dissecting" his own bowl of dumplings and Xie Zhaozhao's two dumplings.

This is the first meal of the first day of the Lunar New Year. Eating vegetarian dumplings in the morning means "eat vegetarian food and don't eat meat". Not eating meat means not getting angry or upset. You will have a peaceful and worry-free year.

The vegetarian dumplings in the Marquis' Mansion were made by blanching slices of raw radish, squeezing out the water, and chopping it up, then adding dried tofu, dried vegetables, chopped beans, chopped vermicelli, etc. Gu Shaoyu spread out the contents of the dumplings and called the cook from the main kitchen to come over and identify them one by one.

The cooks in the big kitchen were almost frightened to death. Something had happened to the dumplings, and it was specifically aimed at the Third Master and the Third Madam. They were going to die.

Before Lord Gu got married, he almost never ate at home. After he got married, a small kitchen was opened in Qingpu Courtyard, and he would just take some servants' food from the big kitchen, or bring some dishes directly. He cooked his own meals.

The only New Year's dumplings they had during the Chinese New Year were actually poisoned. They were almost terrified.

The cook identified more than a dozen fillings in front of Gu Shaoyu.

There was nothing wrong with Gu Shaoyu's bowl, but there was something wrong with Xie Zhaozhao's bowl.

There are five or six tiny amber particles in each dumpling. If you don't open it up a little bit and check it out, you can't see them at all.

The cooks don’t know what this is?

"Report to the Lord, this was definitely not placed there by this slave. This slave does not even know of such a thing."

The cooks kowtowed desperately.

Gu Shaoyu threw the small grains collected from the two dumplings to the cook: "Eat it."

The cook didn't dare to eat it and kowtowed to beg for her life.

Zhang Qing, who had a limp on one leg, brought two servants with him. They held down the cook and stuffed the pills into her mouth, asking her to swallow them.

A quarter of an hour later, the cook looked pleased.

Gu Shaoyu already had an idea in mind.

He stood up and said to Gu Boyu: "Brother, check where these things came from and give me an explanation. In addition--"

Through the screen, he said to the old lady and Mrs. Tu: "Mother, sister-in-law, from now on, no one in the third room will eat in the big kitchen, nor will they use any ingredients from the big kitchen. The salary I submit to the mansion will be reduced by half! The income from the farm shop should be reported separately to Qingpuyuan."

After this incident, who would dare to eat dumplings? Everyone went back to their own yards.

The old lady assured Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao that she would conduct a thorough investigation.

"Third brother, Ruhua plotted to murder the master, so she should be beaten to death or sold off. You should not become alienated from your eldest brother and sister-in-law. What do you mean by the third room having its own kitchen and handing over half of the salary? I'm still alive, do you want to split up the family?" the old lady scolded.

Gu Shaoyu said seriously, "It has become so serious that the servants have forced my wife to take poison, and mother is still blaming me for filial piety? I would like to ask, mother, how do you manage the family?"

Gu Shaoyu refused to give in, and the old lady had no choice but to ask Xie Zhaozhao, "Third Madam, mother will personally investigate this matter and give you an explanation, okay?"

Xie Zhaozhao was almost poisoned, but she still respected propriety and filial piety?

"Mother, if I eat that bowl of dumplings today, I will have no place to stay in the mansion. At home, I obey my father, and after marriage, I obey my husband. I have no objection to the elder's handling of the matter." Xie Zhaozhao answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Okay, okay, you are actually very filial. You want to share the kitchen, right? Go ahead! But you can't just hand over half of your salary! How can you support such a large family if you don't give them money?"

After hearing this, Gu Shaoyu smiled coldly.

"Mother, since I was a child, I have never spent a single ounce of money from the Marquis' Mansion. All my food, clothing and expenses were sponsored by Master."

“I entered the government at the age of seventeen, and all my salary, farm, and shop went to the government. For more than ten years, I have not kept a penny.

I even ate public meals in the palace every day, and I never asked the government to spend a single ounce of silver to present treasures to Your Majesty every year.

At most half of the salary can be left to the mansion! If mother disagrees, then call all the elders to judge the matter."

After a pause, he said calmly, "Mother, if you don't agree with me, I will move out and build another house!"
