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

The two-wheeled carriage left the house, and Xie Zhaozhao went to the old lady's Ci'en Courtyard to report: "Mother, my second sister-in-law said she was going to Ouyang to attend the funeral. I bought some gifts for my family."

When the old lady heard that they were going to buy gifts, she was extremely happy.

He was a nobody in the capital, but when he arrived in Ouyang, the title of Earl was still unattainable for all of them. Moreover, he had the son of a cabinet minister to support him, so he could not be too stingy when spending money.

When Xie Zhaozhao went to buy gifts, she would definitely spend her own money. She was not short of money, so she would definitely buy more high-end gifts, which would make the old lady feel very proud.

Xie Zhaozhao left the house and headed straight for Yuehu Garden.

I didn't go to the island in the middle of the lake, I just waited in the yard at the entrance of the garden.

Dong Qin arrived first, sat down respectfully, and said with a smile: "The place chosen by the eldest lady is the best garden in the whole capital. There is no garden more beautiful than Yuehu Garden, and the Royal Garden cannot compare."

Xie Zhaozhao knew from his words that Dong Qin had also been to the Imperial Garden, but she did not point it out. Time was tight and she did not have much time to chat.

"Dongqin, I have checked the accounts, you can take them back. Also, how many people have you trained in Baiyue City now?"

"One thousand five hundred people, Yunhe is leading them."

"The Black Guards Yun Yao and Yun Yi will leave from the capital today. They will take over. You hand all the people over to them."

Dong Qin was stunned for a moment, and immediately said respectfully: "Yes!"

"Go tell Hongying and Hongshu later and ask them to come see me immediately."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao said a few polite words to him, and then told him to go back first: "I have to go to the countryside to attend a funeral tomorrow, and Yuanyuan will see you off later."

Before Dong Qin left, he reported earnestly: "Years before and after, the Imperial Concubine summoned me three times. Once she asked me what the young lady was doing; once she asked me if the young lady really died at the hands of an assassin; and the last time she asked me to buy the young lady's soldiers and punish the Bo's mansion.

For the first two questions, I answered that I didn’t know; for the third question, I did what the Imperial Concubine asked and reported back.”

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly: "I know."

Dong Qin told her this to show her that he was not unfaithful to her.

Among the people she employed, no one was as shrewd and clever as Dong Qin. Just because she asked him to hand over the control of the military power of Baiyue City to Yun Yao and Yun Yi, he knew that Xie Zhaozhao was on guard against him.

Dong Qin took the account book and left Yuehu Garden. Someone around him asked him, "Should we inform the Imperial Concubine before we leave?"

Dong Qin looked at the dazzling sunlight in the sky and said, "Remember, you don't have to contact the Imperial Concubine anymore."

"But Miss Liuli is still waiting in the yard."

"She won't return to the courtyard and will leave the capital directly. If she can't wait for us, she will leave naturally."

Yunyang arrived shortly after Dongqin left.

"Miss, are you urgently calling me for something?"

"Yunyang, I will go to Ouyang's old house tomorrow to attend the funeral. The old house is in the town at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. There is a group of bandits in the mountain who rob people. We will attract too much attention if we go there. I am afraid that we will attract the attention of the bandits."

When Yun Yang heard this, he immediately said, "How about I bring the palace soldiers to escort you?"

"No need, Yunyang, you, Yunyuan, and Yunxiao, select the palace soldiers with good martial arts and strong combat capabilities, disguise yourself, and set off today to ambush at the foot of Nanshan Mountain and wait for Yuanyuan's signal."

Yunhe has been in the south purchasing supplies for the offshore routes and has not returned. Only Yunyang, Yunyuan and Yunxiao are on standby at the capital's farm.

After some discussion, Yunyang left.

Soon, Hongying and Hongshu arrived.

When the two saw Xie Zhaozhao, they were so excited that tears came out: "Miss, you are finally back."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "You have suffered."

The two were not willing to accept Xie Zhaozhao's praise and expressed their loyalty together.

Xie Zhaozhao said to Hongying and Hongshu: "Tomorrow I will go to Ouyang to attend the funeral. You two should disguise yourself and take the female soldiers with you and stay in Pinghai Town, Nanshan..."

After talking about the plan, Hongying and Hongshu were both furious: "Miss, do they dare?"

"Yes, they dare! So you have to make arrangements early. Whether I can survive depends on you."

Hongying Hongshu took the order and left.

Yuanyuan originally didn't know why Xie Zhaozhao called Dongqin, Yunyang, Hongying and others, but now she seemed to understand.

"Miss, are you saying that it is dangerous to attend the funeral at Ouyang's old house?"

"Yes, there is a group of bandits there, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity to extort money and even life!" Xie Zhaozhao said coldly, "Of course I have to give them a big gift."

"But it's too risky for you to do that."

"I believe they can keep me safe."

In my previous life, I also went to the old house to attend a funeral.

She went to Ouyang's old house with the old lady, Mrs. Tu and others.

It is the custom of the locals to guard the grave for a few days after the burial, which is also called "watching the forest". Starting from the first day of burial, this will last for several days, sometimes three days, sometimes five days, sometimes seven days, or even longer.

Because it was spring, the old lady stayed in a farm on the mountain under the pretext of guarding the forest and spent six or seven days there.

There was a group of bandits in Nanshan, some distance away from Ouyang Town, but when we heard that they were staying in the mountains, we rushed over.

Everyone thought that the bandits came to dig up the second grandmother's tomb, but unexpectedly, the bandits were actually coming for the people in the Bo's Mansion.

Later, the bandits proposed to negotiate with Xie Zhaozhao. In order to protect Gu Jiaojiao, the old lady actually forced Xie Zhaozhao to go to the bandits' lair to talk.

Those bandits were not there to negotiate at all. They were there to destroy Xie Zhaozhao's innocence. Xie Zhaozhao had no choice but to jump off the cliff. Fortunately, an old couple at the foot of the mountain rescued her.

She originally thought it was an accident, that the bandits were greedy for money. It was not until she died that she realized that it was arranged by Guan Yingying, whose purpose was to destroy her innocence and make her live a life worse than death.

......

In this life, Guan Yingying still hates her, but she is confined to the backyard, so it is hard to say whether she will contact the bandits again.

But she had to be prepared, perhaps the gears of fate would bring those bandits to her again.

In the last life, she was forced to jump off a cliff. This grudge must be avenged in this life!

By the way, collect the debts owed by some people.

"Miss, Master Yin is here."

Yin Jinan came in carelessly, looked her up and down, and seeing that she was fine, he sat down unceremoniously and said, "You are living a good life, why are you calling me?"

"I'm doing fine, so why can't I call you over?"

Xie Zhaozhao looked at this childhood friend who said one thing and another, and said with a smile, "I'm going to Ouyang's old house to attend a funeral tomorrow. There's a group of bandits over there, and I sent Yunyang and his men over there. They were able to capture the bandits, but I don't want to take the credit for it. Would you like to take it?"

"When did you become nosy?"

"I'm not meddling in other people's business, but I got news that someone wants to harm me."

"Who? Why not just kill her? Why do we need to catch bandits? She's just a grandmother from our family, not your real grandmother. You won't pretend to be sick and not go?"

"He is the old marquis's benefactor. The minister is not available to go, but I have to go. Besides, I also want to catch that gang of bandits. They have been entrenched there for a long time, and the people nearby have suffered greatly from them."

"Okay, okay, I'm not interested in saving the country and the people. Whoever wants to take the credit can take it. But since someone wants to harm you, I'll go see who's so shameless!"
