Mrs. Jiang was leaning on the beauty couch with a gloomy look on her face.

Xie Wanru walked in wearing a double-breasted lily dress with engraved gold and hundreds of butterflies and flowers: "Mother, Jinxiu Zhai sent the finished clothes in the afternoon, how do you see it?"

Mrs. Jiang was in a bad mood, and seeing Xie Wanru's happy face made her feel even more disturbed, and said sharply: "What are you looking at! Did you read the account book that I asked you to learn from Momo?"

"Mother, what's the matter?" Xie Wanru was taken aback, and said aggrievedly: "Didn't mother specially ask someone to make clothes for me to attend the Winter Plum Banquet?"

Jiang Shi looked at the maid in the room and said impatiently: "Everyone go out, I will talk to Miss."

After all the girls had gone out, Jiang Shi took a deep breath, rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a hateful voice: "Ping Jianghou came this morning."

"What?" Xie Wanru said in surprise, "Are you here so soon?"

Mrs. Jiang said coldly: "In addition to Marquis Pingjiang, the old lady over there also came. I thought they would get the new year, but who knows...the two came here in a show of force this morning, asking your father to take over the family property in a few days. Sort it out."

Xie Wanru twisted her handkerchief and said anxiously: "What should I do... If we really split up, what about my dowry? Let my father and elder brother figure out a solution quickly?"

Mrs. Jiang became even more impatient when she heard her mentioning the dowry, and said coldly: "Now that I've reached this point, I still only think about your dowry!"

Seeing that Xie Wanru's face turned pale with fright, she was her own daughter after all, she was still young, Jiang's heart softened, and she said slowly: "Okay, you can leave this matter alone, your father has already gone to the Zongzheng Department to ask Chief Supervisor Liu for help, Let’s talk about it when he comes back.”

When Xie Wanru heard the words, she nodded in panic, and didn't go back to her own yard, and waited for Xie Xiaozhang to come back with Jiang's house.

In the evening, Xie Xiaozhang came back reeking of alcohol, with a dejected look on his face.

Jiang Shi and Xie Wanru felt cold when they saw his expression.

"Master..." Mrs. Jiang forced a smile and asked, "What did Director Liu say?"

Xie Xiaozhang slammed the teacup on the table heavily, and said angrily, "What else can I say? Of course it's according to the law!"

Mrs. Jiang said anxiously: "This...isn't Chief Supervisor Liu on good terms with the master? Isn't he willing to help with this kind of help?"

"Good friends? Who wants to make friends with you without money?" Xie Xiaozhang sneered.

Xie Wanru's face turned pale when she heard this, and she lost her voice: "Father, do you really want to distribute the dowry and family property to Xie Mingyu?"

"Otherwise," Xie Xiaozhang's eyes were red with anger, "that bastard's wings are stiff now, he has the ability, and the Zongzhengsi people can let him win over, saying that he wants to deal with it fairly! I'm so mad! "

After speaking, he got up and kicked over a round stool, ignored the two of them, and went out angrily.

When Jiang heard the words, she wished she could grit her white teeth, and when she saw Xie Xiaozhang going out, she didn't have the heart to stop her, so she tried hard to think of countermeasures with a gloomy face.

Xie Xiaozhang didn't know that she had been in charge of the house for the past few years, and she was like a mirror in her heart. The most valuable things in the house were the dowry of Xie Mingyu's mother.

When Xu Ming got married back then, the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion's send-off team sent a total of 120 dowries, each of which was filled with real treasures.Although her eyes have been hot all these years, she dared not move because she was too eye-catching. She only endured a few things that looked ordinary in secret, but she was afraid of being seen by others^

Moreover, Xie Mingyu was secretly detained and rubbed, because he wanted to force him to write a document renunciating the inheritance of the title when he reached his age, and then feed him a bowl of poison that sealed his throat when he saw blood. Then you can enjoy these treasures in an open and honest manner.

But who would have expected that cowardly and cowardly Xie Mingyu to leave the mansion, and her temperament changed drastically after she came back. She seemed to be a different person. Not only did she have the ability to open a shop and make money, but now she also wanted to return the dowry and family property. How could she not hate it!How can you be willing!

Xie Wanru's anxious eyes were red, she grabbed Jiang's sleeve and said anxiously: "Mother, we can't just be so cheap, Xie Mingyu, we have to think of a way?"

Jiang shook her head and said bitterly: "It's useless, those people really know how to watch people order dishes, now your father can't do anything, what can I do?"

Xie Wanru went to the doctor indiscriminately due to illness, and said anxiously: "Should I ask my brother to ask the Lin family? It's my brother's fiancée's house, so we can definitely help!"

Mrs. Jiang said disheartened: "Do you think I didn't think of it? I sent a message to the Lin Mansion a few days ago. Mrs. Lin is really good at Tai Chi. There are a lot of useless words. I even talked to your brother's fiancée." I haven't seen it yet, the Lin family doesn't want to interfere in this matter because of a concubine's marriage!"

Xie Wanru gradually calmed down when she heard the words, and after a while she suddenly said, "Mother, is the day after tomorrow the An Guo Gongfu's Hanmei Banquet?"

"At this moment, I don't even have the mind to attend the Winter Plum Banquet!" Jiang said angrily.

Xie Wanru took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Shizi An is sixteen years old, and he has reached the age of discussing marriage. In the past, wives from various mansions attended the Winter Plum Banquet, but this year's daughter who can stay in the court Go, tell me, what does that mean?"

Jiang Shi was taken aback when she heard the words.

Xie Wanru continued: "A mansion as big as Duke An's mansion, if I 'unintentionally' go the wrong way and bump into An Shizi

At that time, I will cry and make a fuss about my innocence being ruined. At that time, with so many people witnessing, An Shizi will marry me no matter what.

"

Jiang's heart was startled, and she suddenly shouted: "You are crazy! You are an innocent daughter waiting to be married, if you do such a thing, your reputation and face will be ruined!"

Xie Wanru cried: "So what! If Xie Mingyu divides the family property, the mansion will be dilapidated. At that time, which honorable family is willing to give up a daughter who has settled in a dilapidated household? Take care of so much!"

Jiang's body trembled when she heard the words, and her back felt a little chilly, and she couldn't speak for a while.

Xie Wanru took her hand, with a cold light in her eyes, she said urgently: "Mother, you have to help me. As long as you marry An Shizi, even if it's just a concubine's room, then there will be An Guogong's mansion as your concubine." Backstage, the mansion won't be in ruins."

Jiang looked at her with a complicated expression, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. The daughter she had raised for so many years turned out to be such a short-sighted person, and said coldly: "No, the government of An Guo is strictly managed, you can't have a chance, Don't think about it, you don't want to participate in the Hanmei Banquet, I will go by myself. Even if you don't care about your reputation, you have to think about your brother, he is going to participate in Chunwei soon, if something happens at this time, you want to Ruin his future!"

Xie Wanru lost her hope, let go of her hand in desperation, and ran out crying.

Jiang squeezed her handkerchief and pressed her forehead with a headache. Her daughter was hopeless, but luckily she had a son.

Thinking of Xie Minghong who was concentrating on studying and preparing for the exam in another courtyard outside the city, a gratified smile appeared on Jiang's always bitter face.

The day is getting colder and colder, the smoke cage is burning in the house, Xie Mingyu is leaning on the carved soft couch and reading a story book, Shen Yanzhi is wearing a moon-white tunic lying on his lap, fiddling with A series of nine.

The room was very quiet, except for the occasional sound of the nine rings colliding in Shen Yan's hands.

Xie Mingyu turned her head to look at an hourglass on the side, and said with a light smile, "It's about time, can you still open it? If you want me to say it, just throw in the towel, I'm looking forward to it..."

Shen Yanzhi was a little anxious at first, but he became even more anxious after hearing this, and he repeatedly promised: "I will be able to take it apart if there is time..."

Xie Mingyu put down the script upon hearing this, and looked at Shen Yanzhi with a smile.

Just now he made a bet with Shen Yanzhi, betting on whether he can solve the Nine Links in the time it takes for a stick of incense, a bet...

If it is not untied, Shen Yanzhi will help him to untie it with his hands once, and if it is untied, he will agree to any request made by Shen Yanzhi.

Xie Mingyu gently stroked Shen Yanzhi's back, bit his earlobe, and said temptingly: "No hurry, it's okay if you can't take it apart, I'm willing to admit defeat."

Shen Yanzhi blushed slightly, shook his head and refused to admit defeat, and said in a low voice: "It's not time yet, I can take it apart..."

Xie Mingyu smiled in a low voice, and didn't urge him. She just put her warm palm into his clothes and felt a slippery texture. She touched it here and kneaded it there, and started to eat tender tofu without guilt. .

Shen Yanzhi was already sweating in a hurry, but it was even hotter when Xie Mingyu touched it. The more he tried to untie it, the more hectic he became.

Xie Mingyu suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand to take Jiu Lianhuan away and put it aside, leaned into his ear and said: "The time is up, you lost."

One of Shen Yan looked at the hourglass, and the sand on the upper layer had indeed leaked out. He felt a little depressed, and puffed his cheeks and said, "You didn't look at it yesterday, and I will untie it after a while."

Xie Mingyu kissed him on the cheek, said with a smile: "Yesterday was yesterday, you didn't untie it today, just now we made a good bet, and you agreed, you can't renege..."

Shen Yanzhi's face turned even redder, and he puffed his cheeks and said unconvinced: "Don't just let me solve it, brother will solve it once too, if brother loses..."

Xie Mingyu smiled softly: "Okay, I will take it apart once, so that you can be convinced."

Speaking of holding Jiulianhuan in his hand, Shen Yanzhi quickly turned the hourglass down and watched Xie Mingyu disassemble Jiulianhuan anxiously.

Seeing his nervous expression, Xie Mingyu thought it was very amusing, so she intentionally teased him. At the beginning, she deliberately took it apart slowly, and she couldn't untie it after a cup of tea. Shen Yanzhi saw that he was also struggling to untie it. Secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Xie Mingyu smirked, and suddenly speeded up his hands, only to hear a series of ding ding ding, before Shen Yanzhi could react, Xie Mingyu disassembled the Jiulianhuan.

Shaking the dismantled ring in front of Shen Yanzhi, he said with a low laugh: "Now, can you give me the bet just now?

"

Shen Yanzhi's face turned red suddenly, and he said stutteringly: "It's... the sky is still bright, I'll... help you with that at night, okay?"

"Okay," Xie Mingyu knew that he was shy, so she didn't force him too tight. She leaned over and kissed his lips, and said in a low voice, "But interest will be charged when the time comes, so you have to put your heart into it..."
