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

"I'm your mother-in-law, and you don't listen to me? You're disobedient! You're disobedient!" the old lady said angrily.

"Mother, I kneel to you out of filial piety! You punish me by making me kneel? Not only do I have an imperial decree, I also have a gold medal granted by the Emperor to exempt me from kneeling. Are you older than Your Majesty?"

“You…” The old lady was speechless.

Seeing that the old lady was still going to make a scene, Gu Shaoyu said calmly, "Mother, if I were you, I would be careful with my words and actions!"

"Unfilial! Unfilial! You are all unfilial! Who are you trying to harm by forging the indenture?"

The old lady has made up her mind. She is going to set rules for Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao today.

"You stole property and got into trouble, but you still blame others?"

"With you gone, everything in Qingpu Courtyard should belong to the Bo Mansion!"

"How do you know we're gone? Did you see the bodies?"

"Everyone says so..."

"Oh, you believe that my son is dead just because you heard it from someone else? You are so eager to divide and sell my wife's dowry?"

“You can’t bring anything with you when you’re born, and you can’t take anything with you when you die. Property is meant for the living to enjoy.”

"We don't admit the crime you accused us of!" Gu Shaoyu said coldly, "If you want to file a complaint with the emperor, go ahead! By the way, you can consider separating me from the mansion!"

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at the old lady indifferently. The latter was speechless and suddenly became silent like a chicken with its neck pinched.

Now the Bo Mansion still relies on Gu Shaoyu. If they split up the mansion, the Bo Mansion will have no money and no power, and it will be really over!

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyebrows and eyes, his face expressionless.

Before returning home, Gu Shaoyu accompanied the Tubo prince and princess to meet His Majesty, and she spoke in Concubine Xi's Xingning Palace.

When Concubine Xi mentioned the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, she became furious and said, "In the entire capital, there is no other family as unrefined as the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. How can you rush to grab the dowry just after your son and daughter-in-law are gone?"

Xie Zhaozhao was told everything about the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. Xie Zhaozhao was a little unhappy at the time, but did not show it on her face.

Concubine Xi said happily: "Even though His Majesty kept saying that you were gone, I didn't believe it, so when your soldiers were sold by the Lady of the Bo family, I sent someone to inform Dong Qin."

"Are those soldiers in Dongqin?"

"Yes," Concubine Xi whispered to Xie Zhaozhao about how Dong Qin had cheated the Bo family.

Tu deserves to be imprisoned!

She had been looking unhappy since she left the palace. Gu Shaoyu thought she was angry about what happened in the mansion and said, "Don't be upset. I will take care of it."

This lawsuit completely damaged the Bo family.

It's normal for the old lady to be angry.

But, blame her? Call her vicious?

Would it be unfair for me not to be a little cruel to you?

Gu Shaoyu didn't even need her to say anything, he just fought back against the old lady on his own.

"Mother, the mansion has land and shops distributed by the court according to the title, and there is also a monthly salary. I am in the cabinet, and my income is not small. As long as the daily expenses of the mansion are not too out of line, it is enough."

Gu Shaoyu said, "My son is also a respectable man. He can't rely on his wife's dowry for a living. Why do you always think about Zhao Zhao's dowry?"

"You guys are living a good life outside, how can you understand the difficulties in the mansion!" The old lady cried, "The mansion is almost unable to make ends meet."

"If that's the case, I suggest that we make the public accounts public and find out where all the money has gone!"

Gu Shaoyu said, "Since the sister-in-law can't manage it well, she should stop managing it and change someone else."

The old lady choked.

Gu Boyu was a little embarrassed and said, "Mrs. Tu happens to be in poor health, so it would be good for Mother to have someone else take care of the household affairs."

The old lady looked at Xie Zhaozhao again.

She didn't want to be called Lu's tube.

The Lu family is in charge of the household expenses, so don't even think about giving subsidies. That Lu Ba Pi will just skim off the money everywhere and embezzle it for his own benefit.

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Lu, who seemed to be on the verge of tears, with pleading looks in her eyes.

So he nodded slightly at her.

"Second sister-in-law is very careful with her budget and is good at managing the household. Young Madam is well-informed and has been to many gatherings. The two of them are in charge of the household together, supervising and reminding each other, which is good."

The old lady disagreed: "How can two people be in charge? Who will the people below listen to?"

Xie Xiangxiang said calmly: "I am willing to manage the household together with Second Aunt, with Second Aunt as the main person and me as the assistant."

Mrs. Lu was overjoyed and immediately expressed her opinion: "If you let me take charge of the household affairs, I will save every penny, make sure everyone eats well and wears well, and keep all the accounts clear."

At this point, the old lady could no longer refuse.

Besides, is there anyone else available in the mansion?

Of course, Xie Zhaozhao is the most suitable, but the key is that people don't want to take the job. Guan Yingying can also do it, but her status is not up to par.

After leaving Ci'en Temple, Xie Zhaozhao went to visit Mrs. Tu.

As I entered Tu's room, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.

In front of Mrs. Tu's bed, the medicine bowl on the small table exuded the faint scent of old ginseng.

Tu was lying on the bed, her lower body was completely useless, and her hands were so weak from not being well healed that they were like dumplings, making it difficult for her to even get up.

Her originally jet-black hair had turned almost completely white in just a month and a half, and her originally round face now had high cheekbones.

The man is very skinny.

Xie Zhaozhao went in and didn't sit down. Instead, he looked down at her carefully with an indifferent expression.

Tu lay on the bed, looking at her sideways with hatred in her eyes.

Nanny Wan brought a stool for Xie Zhaozhao and poured some hot water. Xie Zhaozhao sat down and took the full cup of tea and placed it on the table next to him.

Tu looked at Xie Zhaozhao, whose tongue had been bitten off by a female prisoner in the prison. She spoke vaguely, "You did it on purpose! Did she dig a trap for me to jump into?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I can hardly understand what you are saying now. If you are sick, take good care of it. Don't worry about the affairs of the mansion. Mother has handed over the household affairs to the second sister-in-law and the young lady today. They will treat you well."

When Tu heard that the household supplies had been handed over to Lu and Xie Xiangxiang, she was so anxious that she made a "hmm" sound and wanted to refute, but unfortunately her tongue was not long enough and her legs could not move.

Nanny Wan went over to comfort her, "Madam, your leg is injured now. The doctor told you to lie down and rest."

Xie Zhaozhao followed Nanny Wan's words and said, "You need to rest. There are many things to do in the mansion, and sooner or later they will all be handed over to the young lady."

Tu: “Mmm…”

Leave it to Xie Xiangxiang and Lu?

This must be Xie Zhaozhao’s idea!

Xie Xiangxiang hated Yan'er and Aunt Yue, and maybe even herself! She was in charge of the household chores, and she only knew how to deal with Yan'er, treat Yuebai harshly, and even treat herself harshly if things got out of hand.

Lu was his mortal enemy. Xie Zhaozhao recommended her, not to mention giving her ginseng medicine, but would only use her to exploit the eldest wife bit by bit and kill her people.

Xie Zhaozhao, took revenge on the first wife without making any noise, killing people without shedding any blood!

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the hatred in her eyes and said quietly, "Sister-in-law should listen to Nanny Wan. The affairs of the mansion are handled by Sister-in-law and Young Madam. You should learn to let go. You don't need to worry about the affairs of Qingpu Courtyard."

Tu: Uh-huh…

Xie Zhaozhao stood up and said quickly, "Sister-in-law, take good care of him. The eldest young master and the young mistress haven't consummated their marriage yet, right? Before the legitimate grandson is born, you must take good care of your only illegitimate grandson!"
