Before dawn, Beichen quickly went to Yuehu Garden to report to Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao.

"Master, the two masters who came last night were the same as the assassins. I saw their faces. They were Liu Feng and Wan Daohe who were in front of the Queen."

"They?" Gu Shaoyu was still a little surprised. "Are they here to steal or spy?"

The Queen's men are not here to steal. The most likely reason is that they are here to gather information.

"I didn't stop them at first. They came in, went to the study to listen, stayed in the bedroom for a while, and finally went straight to Madam's storeroom."

Is this spying and stealing?

Xie Zhaozhao: ...

Is the Queen also jealous of her dowry?

"Later, the Young Madam's courtyard caught fire, and I saw it. It was Madam Wei from the Young Madam's courtyard who let them escape through the chaos at the back corner door."

However, as soon as the two men went out, they were covered their mouths and taken away by the people from the Imperial City Bureau who had been lying in ambush.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly and said, "No need to check. These two people must have been asked by my stepmother to help. They went to Qingpuyuan to steal the dowry."

After all, Xu's vision was too narrow. It was not so easy to owe a favor to the Queen Mother. Why did she borrow two experts to steal the eldest daughter's dowry and give it to the second daughter?

What can a person with a low vision achieve!

"Madam Bo wants to empty Qingpu Courtyard and give it to Gu Chengyan to prevent Gu Zheng from inheriting it." Bei Chen said, "Last night, Madam Gu and a group of people also tried to force their way in."

Thanks to the two masters who were injured, they were shocked.

Xie Zhaozhao was not surprised. She had long been aware that Tu, Lu and the old lady were coveting her dowry.

"Tell Hongying to go back to the farm and mobilize a hundred people to surround Qingpu Courtyard. No one is allowed to enter." Xie Zhaozhao said.

Gu Shaoyu looked very unhappy.

He had only been "dead" for two days, and the first and second wives, as well as the internal and external thieves, colluded with each other and were eager to divide his wife's dowry.

"No matter what Liu Feng and Wan Daohe are here for, Bei Chen, go tell Leng Luo that they are here to gather information."

Bei Chen received the order and left.

Hongying followed Xie Zhaozhao's instructions and rode to the manor to recruit female soldiers. At noon, Hongying came back with a hundred female soldiers.

After getting off the horse at Bo's house and about to enter, Zhang Qing stopped the door and immediately went to report to Tu.

Tu said angrily: "What do you think of the Bo's Mansion? You are not allowed to enter the mansion."

Hongying said, "We are the guards of the old lady's palace. Why don't you let us in?"

When the two sides were confronting each other, Xie Xiangxiang got the news.

After hearing from Madam Wei that a large number of palace soldiers entered the palace early in the morning and surrounded Qingpu Courtyard, she rubbed the gray under her eyes and said, "Are they my eldest sister's palace soldiers?"

"Yes."

It must be because of the theft last night!

Duo'er told her that she would send the palace masters to help her steal the unmarked yellow and white objects and jewelry, but she said that this was not a good idea.

It’s not easy to steal from Qingpuyuan because the female soldiers are still there!

However, Duoer said that her mother had borrowed help from an expert.

In the end, not only did he fail to steal, he was caught and almost beaten to death.

If they were sent to the government, those two might not be able to endure the punishment, and their mother would certainly be implicated. She had no choice but to burn down the wing room in her own yard with her own hands.

This allowed Nanny Wei to send the person away during the chaos.

Not only did they not steal anything, but my mother also lost a big favor, and half of the yard in Fanghuayuan was burned down.

She rubbed her brows and said to Wei Mama, "Let's go and pay our respects to mother-in-law. My husband has been ill these days, and as a wife, I can't not go and see him, right?"

Xie Zhaozhao is dead, but Aunt Yue is still alive!

Nanny Wei hated it to death, but she could do nothing about it.

I originally thought that Gu Chengyan would be more restrained, but I didn't expect that he would use the excuse of recuperating from illness to spend every day with Aunt Yue.

When she arrived at Tu's courtyard, she saw that Tu was angry. Xie Xiangxiang greeted her first and said, "Mother, these people making noise at the door will affect the reputation of the mansion. Why don't we go and ask the eldest young master what he thinks?"

"You've thought it through. One more person means more strength. Let's go discuss it with Yan'er." Mrs. Tu comforted Xie Xiangxiang, "When Yan'er's injury is healed, you can consummate the marriage. If he dares to treat you badly, mother will punish him."

Xie Xiangxiang smiled faintly and bowed: "Thank you, mother."

The two went to Qinyaxuan first. Gu Chengyan was still not there. Xie Xiangxiang asked Shaoyao, "Did the eldest young master go to Aunt Yue's place again?"

Shaoyao didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Tu's anger was rising rapidly.

Guan Yingying and Gu Chengyan received the news last night that the Tu family and several other groups were blocked outside Qingpu Courtyard, and a group of masters who entered were beaten to the point where they could not take care of themselves.

A large number of soldiers came early this morning to protect Qingpuyuan.

Suddenly, the blood in my heart surged. Damn it, were Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao poisoned? They were both dead, and the servants were still guarding their yard?

As they were talking, Tu, accompanied by Nanny Wan, and Xie Xiangxiang, accompanied by Nanny Wei, came to the mulberry garden.

Looking at the furnishings in the mulberry garden, all of which belonged to Qin Yaxuan, Tu was furious. Xie Xiangxiang pinched her fingers, showing no expression.

When Gu Chengyan saw the two people coming together, he was the first to speak up and change the subject.

"Mother, I was just about to go look for you. Third Aunt's dowry belongs to the Bo's Mansion, and it will fall into your hands sooner or later, so don't rush. These soldiers are also Third Aunt's dowry, and naturally they are also the private property of the Bo's Mansion."

He was not afraid that they would know that he was also coveting Third Aunt's dowry. These women were all his own.

"Tsk, what's the big deal about having too many palace soldiers? The more the better!" Guan Yingying said as a matter of course, lying on the bed, "The master of Qingpu Courtyard has died. If we sell them separately, won't it be a huge income?"

Tu's eyes lit up. Yes, Xie Zhaozhao brought four hundred soldiers from the palace!

I was so angry and confused that I forgot they could all be sold for money.

These palace soldiers are skilled in martial arts and are bought by rich and powerful people to be bodyguards and guardians, or as dowries for their children. They are in great demand.

There are four hundred people, so there will be no problem if each person sells fifty strings of coins.

These soldiers alone can be sold for tens of thousands of strings of cash!

Gu Chengyan said: "When Third Aunt was alive, she had the dowry to support these people, so there is no need for the Bo's Mansion to support them. Servants with martial arts skills are easier to sell, and the Bo's Mansion will have a lot of extra income. Otherwise, keep them to form a group to threaten the master?"

Mrs. Tu was overjoyed and was about to take Madam Wan out when Xie Xiangxiang suddenly said, "Madam Yue snorted and pouted at Mother. Do you think Mother is not as smart as you?"

Tu was originally thinking about making money by selling the palace soldiers. After hearing this, she glanced at Aunt Yue, who had an expression that said "I just know a lot" on her face, and she immediately became annoyed.

Are you so proud of an idea? You are a worthless person.

He rushed over and slapped Guan Yingying all over her face, causing her hand to hurt. He cursed, "Bitch, do you need me to criticize you for selling out the soldiers?"

Guan Yingying: ...Fuck! I gave you advice but instead of saying thank you, I hit me?

She pointed at Xie Xiangxiang angrily and said, "She was the one who instigated it. When did I..."

"Who gave you the courage to call yourself "I" in front of mother?" Xie Xiangxiang said coldly, "When Third Aunt was alive, you called yourself a lowly concubine in front of her. You call yourself "I" in front of mother. Do you despise mother for not being as good as Third Aunt?"
