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

Madam Xie was old, and she was frightened when she was stopped by someone so suddenly in the middle of the night.

Ying Er immediately supported Madam Xie and scolded loudly: "What's going on? Who are you? Can you afford to scare the old lady?"

The housekeeper, Lao Qin, was furious and pulled them aside: "If you have something to do, go find the old lady. The old lady doesn't know anything. What are you doing? If you scare the old lady, don't blame the Xie family for being ruthless."

"Madam, you have to save us, we can't survive." The two men refused to leave. Lao Qin asked someone to drag them away, but they hugged Madam Xie's legs tightly and cried.

Xie Zhaozhao came over and said, "If you want to talk, just say it nicely. Grandmother is old. If you scare her, more than just your lives will be in jeopardy!"

The two men quickly let go of their hands and cried, saying that they were tricked by Miss Xie and their whole family could not survive.

"Old Qin, tell them to get up and go in to talk." Xie Zhaozhao didn't want her grandmother to be stopped at the door. Even though the sun was setting, there were still many people walking on the street.

Those who knew would cry out for justice, while those who didn’t would think that my grandmother was taking advantage of her power to bully others.

Old Madam Xie was helped into the mansion and sat down in the main hall of Wutong Garden. Ying'er helped her change clothes and wash her face, and then she drank a cup of ginseng tea before calling the two men over.

"What's going on? Who are you?"

"Madam, I am the uncle of Madam Xu from your family. My name is Qu Yuning."

It turned out that they were relatives. Old Madam Xie asked Ying'er to find a seat immediately, but the two of them didn't dare to do so. They were originally farmers and honest people. Their calves cramped when they saw Old Madam Xie.

"A few days ago, the second young lady of the mansion sent someone to tell us that Prince Gu would participate in a poetry competition at the Peony Flower Festival and would definitely win first place. She asked us to place a bet, saying that we would definitely make money."

Qu Yuning cried and said, "My husband and I put our granddaughter's dowry on the bet, but we didn't know that it would all be lost now."

Xie Zhaozhao followed Old Madam Xie to Wutong Garden, and understood everything after hearing this.

Although Xu had been the mistress of the Xie family for many years, she was in charge of the household expenses with her grandmother and Nanny Xu around, so she was not greedy and had to leave some for her three children, so she really did not take care of these poor relatives much.

This time she had seized an opportunity that was sure to win and would bring honor to her daughter, so she made the news known to the world. All the poor relatives wanted to curry favor with her, the mistress of the Xie family, and almost bet their entire fortunes on it.

But is there any gambling game in this world that is sure to win?

Almost everyone who participated in this gambling game was beating their chests and stamping their feet today. After all, 99% of them bet on Gu Chengyan to win the championship.

Old Madam Xie quickly figured out the whole story and was shaking with anger. She could understand these poor relatives. Although they were a little greedy, it was Xu and Xie Xiangxiang who instigated them.

"Go and call Mrs. Xu and the second young lady."

Not long after, Xu and Xie Xiangxiang were called over, and both of them avoided looking at each other.

"Mother."

"grandmother."

The two of them greeted each other, but Old Madam Xie did not offer them a seat. She asked them to stand and pointed at Qu Yuning and his wife and asked Madam Xu, "Do you know these two people?"

Xu replied: "Mother, this is my uncle."

"Well, the two of them said that you instigated them to bet on Prince Gu. Is that true?"

Xu was terrified when she heard this, and she said timidly: "I didn't instigate them, I just told them that this happened. As for whether they want to place a bet or not, I won't force them..."

Before she could finish her words, her aunt pointed at her and said angrily, "Madam Xie, do you feel guilty for saying this? How can you say that? I don't usually take care of my relatives, but this time, I'm sure to win, so hurry up and place your bets, even if you have to borrow money...Madam Xie, you even cheated your own uncle, are you still a human being?"

Although Xu was a humble servant in Xie's house, she always showed off when she went out. When she was scolded by such a poor relative, she immediately became polite.

"What my aunt said is so unreasonable. Did I force you to place bets? You are greedy, can you blame me?"

My uncle and aunt were so angry that their fingers were shaking. They knelt down and cried, "Mrs. Xie, look, how are we going to survive?"

Xie Xiangxiang lost face at the Peony Flower Festival today, and when she came back, her great uncle's family came to her house. In the afternoon, she didn't say anything polite and directly asked someone to kick her great uncle out. Unexpectedly, the two of them came to her grandmother again.

I was so angry that I said bluntly, "In a bet, it's a 50/50 deal. It all depends on luck. If you lose, you have to settle with my mother. If you win, will you give my mother half?"

Seeing that all her money had gone down the drain, Qu's wife was unable to explain to her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter when she returned, and she was ready to commit suicide.

She pointed at Xie Xiangxiang and said, "We country folk are stupid and don't have as many schemes as you, a high-ranking rich lady. We have lost all our money and can't afford to give your good son-in-law a dowry. So let us give you some red!"

"Oh no, stop her quickly." Xie Zhaozhao didn't understand what he said and immediately asked someone to stop her.

Qu's wife had already hit her head against the door frame.

Lao Qin was the housekeeper, but he was a man after all. He was waiting outside the yard and had no time to stop them.

Yuanyuan was skilled in martial arts. She leaped over and grabbed Qu's wife. The other party was a peasant woman who was determined to die. She was very strong and Yuanyuan staggered.

Both Qu's wife and Yuanyuan fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the person was fine, just had a scratch on his head and blood all over his face.

Qu Yuning never thought that his wife would commit suicide on the spot, and he cried loudly.

He helped his old wife up and said, "Isn't it just the money we lost? We can go back and farm the land. The loss is fine. The children won't kill us. Why are you so stupid?"

Old Madam Xie was old, and she couldn't stand such a shock. Her face changed and she was a little breathless.

Xie Zhaozhao immediately calmed her down and said to Yuanyuan, "Go to my yard and get 50 taels of silver, plus a string of copper coins, and take them back to Uncle Qu."

From what she heard, she found out that Qu Yuning had bet about 30 taels of silver in total, and the two men didn't look cunning, so she decided to pay first.

After all, Gu Chengyan lost the bet, and it was also her fault.

She said to Qu Yuning and his wife seriously, "You should ask my grandmother to find out the cause and effect. Why did she do such an extreme thing? My grandmother is old. If she gets scared and hurt, you can't afford to pay for it with your lives."

Seeing that the old lady was almost frightened to faint, Qu Yuning felt very regretful. But when he heard that Xie Zhaozhao was going to give them 50 taels of silver, he felt regretful and surprised, and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

Yuanyuan soon took out 50 taels of silver and a string of copper coins, handed them to Qu Yuning, and said, "Uncle, it's getting late, so we won't keep you here any longer. The city gates may be closed. You can either stay in the inn and leave tomorrow, or ask Butler Qin to send a carriage to take you back."

The Xie family can just say hello and the city gate can be opened.

Qu Yuning couldn't bear to stay in the hotel and wanted to go home early.

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao's expression, Butler Qin sent a carriage and loaded some snacks and fruits from the mansion for them. Before leaving, Qu Yuning and his wife kowtowed outside the gate of Wutong Garden.

Old Madam Xie was furious, and asked Butler Qin to send someone to keep an eye on them. She punished Xu and Xie Xiangxiang by making them kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, and neither of them was allowed to eat.
