The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day before the wedding.

During this period of time, Qu Xinzhu stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion obediently as a woman waiting to be married.

But when people are in the mansion, they are never at peace.

After the incident in the Imperial Garden last time, Qu Xinzhu's identity as a concubine's daughter became known to everyone, but the groom-to-be Mo Li was unaware of it.

With the deliberate concealment by those who had ulterior motives, the news never leaked out.

But truth will come out eventually, at the wedding tomorrow.

"Grandmother, mother, I'm going to marry Li tomorrow, so there must not be any mistakes. At least you have to let me enter the gate of Li's mansion. Has the dowry you prepared arrived? Why haven't I seen even a shadow of it yet?" Qu Xinzhu urged impatiently.

Mrs. Qu Wen hurriedly comforted her, "Zhu'er, don't worry. I have sent several letters. The dowry is already on the way. If we calculate the time, it should arrive today."

"Mother, having said that, my eyelids have been twitching. I always feel that something bad has happened. How about you find someone to go and welcome them? After all, there are more than a hundred loads of dowry, and the family property is your life savings. You can't afford to let it go." Wen Suhua was uneasy, which made her have a bad guess.

When Qu Xinzhu heard this, she could no longer sit still. She hurriedly urged, "Grandma, the road to Beijing is long and steep, and we may run into bandits and robbers along the way. You should go and welcome them as soon as possible."

She was about to marry into the royal family, and nothing could go wrong at this time.

After hearing what the two said, Qu Wenshi's heart began to beat. She nodded carefully and went out.

Wen Suhua stayed in the room and tried on the wedding dress for her daughter for tomorrow's wedding.

"Zhu'er, His Royal Highness Prince Li really cares about you. He has prepared everything including the phoenix coronet and bridal robe. He values ​​you so much, he will definitely not treat you badly after marriage." Wen Suhua looked at her daughter who had grown up to be so outstanding with satisfaction. She felt happy and sad at the same time.

After Qu Xinzhu was dressed, she danced in front of the huge bronze mirror.

In the end, she was not very satisfied. "This wedding dress is troublesome to wear, with layers inside and outside. Are you trying to heat me to death? It's not as comfortable as a wedding dress. It's a pity that the antiques here can't be made into new century clothes. When I have time in the future, I must think of ways to move modern things here. First of all, this bronze mirror is not very clear. When the time comes, I will tell you the manufacturing process of glass..."

She mumbled a lot of things, but Wen Suhua didn't quite understand what she said. When she was about to ask more, she saw Qu Wenshi being carried back.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Grandma, are you okay?"

The two of them rushed over.

The two men in black put her down, said nothing more, and turned away.

Wen Suhua was extremely anxious and kept pinching Qu Wenshi's Ren Zhong point.

Qu Xinzhu also kept calling out.

Not long after, Qu Wen slowly woke up. Her voice was barely audible. "All the dowry and savings... are gone."

After saying this, he broke down and cried.

Wen Suhua couldn't believe it. "Mom, what are you talking about? Aren't those things escorted by our trusted confidants? We also hired the most powerful escorts. How come they are gone now?"

"No, no! Without the dowry, how can I marry into the Prince Li's Mansion tomorrow? I have worked so hard to climb to my current position, and I cannot lose it all." Qu Xinzhu was almost in despair.

Qu Wen was in tears, but she continued to explain: "As soon as I walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qu San came out of the alley in a panic. He told me that he encountered bandits on the way here, and all his dowry and property were robbed. Except for him, everyone else was killed by the bandits..."

"How could this happen?" Wen Suhua stood there in a daze.

Qu Xinzhu also started crying, and it was unclear whether she was crying because of the loss of her dowry savings or because she was sad that she could not marry into the Li Wang Mansion.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren wailed in pain for a long time, and finally the three of them gritted their teeth and came up with a new idea.

"Your father won't help. It's useless to ask him. Now we can only talk to Prince Li and see if he can come up with some money to buy our dowry." Qu Wenshi set her sights on Prince Li.

Wen Suhua disagreed and said, "Mother, if you do this, won't Prince Li look down on our Zhu'er in the future? Which husband would value her if she wants to get money from the palace before she even gets married? From my daughter's point of view, not only can we not ask Prince Li for help, but we can't let him know, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"Mother is right. We can't go find Mo Li." Qu Xinzhu wiped away her tears, her eyes full of malice. "Grandma, the only solution now is to go find that woman Qu Qingyan. Although my granddaughter hates her, she is the most important person in this mansion besides my father. Besides, my father dotes on her so much, he must have bought a lot of dowry for her. Grandma, as long as she goes and asks her for help, it will solve my granddaughter's urgent need."

Qu Wenshi did not refuse, and sighed, "This is the only way. Let me, an old man, be shameless and beg that damn girl."

She straightened her clothes, then stood up and walked out the door.

Wen Suhua and Qu Xinzhu were worried, so they followed from a distance.

At this time in Qingluo Garden, Qu Qingyan was holding a thick stack of account books in his hand and was looking at them carefully.

Lvliu poured tea for her, "Miss, since the things have been stolen... and taken back, there will be a good show to watch tomorrow."

"I never thought that my grandmother would have so many businesses. She's almost as rich as the richest imperial merchant." Qu Qingyan teased, and then his face turned cold, "The prime minister's mother alone received so many bribes, not to mention the other people in the Qu family."

These people are all using her father's name to bully others and show off their power.

Lvliu was illiterate, but she could tell from the thick account book that a lot of money must have been embezzled. "Miss, are you planning to..."

"These people relied on my father's family to bully men and women and cause trouble to the area. My father was busy before and didn't take care of them. So I will take care of them."

In the previous life, these people eventually became Qu Xinzhu's loyal defenders, so they could not be kept.

She wants to eradicate them all!

As the two were chatting, they saw the secret guard coming to report on the movements of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

"Miss, they are too shameless. They actually want to ask you for a dowry. I will beat them out right now!" Lvliu has practiced a few moves with the secret guards in the mansion these days and is much more confident than before.

Qu Qingyan smiled and said, "No hurry, let's see what other tricks they have."

After saying this, the secret guard retreated.
