Because the second day happened to be resting, Chu Ning lay on the bed and barely woke up from the dark sleep until the sun was high.He was really exhausted, his whole body ached, and he wanted to kick that damned mirror to pieces to relieve his hatred.

But after thinking about it, the mirror was innocent, and the culprit was clearly lying beside him, hugging his waist and legs on him, like a puppy hugging a fleshy bone.

Looking at this face, Chu Ning felt unable to get angry again.Seeing that Xie Heng was still sleeping, he got up first to get dressed.Last night's wedding dress was put aside, and on the small couch next to it was Zhi Fei's new clothes.

He didn't have any clothes on him, so he could only half-kneel on the head of the bed lightly, stretching out his hands, his fair and slender back was pulled out into a beautiful arc.Just when her fingertips were about to touch her clothes, Chu Ning felt a chill behind her back, her ankles were grabbed by two hands, and she was dragged directly back into the bed.

By the time I got up again, it was already afternoon.

Chu Ning was having lunch with Xie Heng with a sore back and a sore back. She heard Xie Heng say that she was going to go around the capital with Prince Yan in the afternoon to observe and appease the people and learn about the situation of this year's autumn harvest.

This matter was decided by the emperor yesterday, and it happened suddenly, so Xie Heng didn't say anything in advance.He was leaving after dinner, and when he said goodbye, he left the key of Jinghu Xiaozhu to Chu Ning.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time to observe the people's situation this time, at least half a month." Xie Heng stuffed the key into Chu Ning's hand, and said with a smile: "Chu Chu is my wife, so naturally she should take good care of the house."

Chu Ning was so confused by Xie Heng's tricks, she realized something was wrong when she took the key, and wanted to return the key to Xie Heng.Since Xie Heng is not here, what's the use of him holding the key?

"Take it, ma'am." Xie Heng pulled Chu Ning's hand over and kissed her fingertips lightly, "If you miss me...it's good to come and see things and think about others."

In this way, Chu Ning could not care about the key issue, and could only say goodbye to him with a flushed face.

After Xie Heng left, Chu Ning also prepared to go home.I don't know if it was because of what Xie Heng said just now, but he was a little bit reluctant when he left.

I don't know whether it's because I don't want to be here, or because I don't want to be Xie Heng.

When Chu Ning returned to Chu's house, Chang Ming stood guard at the door like a little bitch who had been abandoned by others. When she saw Chu Ning come back, she immediately jumped up to meet her.

It made Chu Ning feel uncomfortable, and always felt that Chang Ming had to recite the family tree of the Chu family again.But Chang Mingwei didn't say anything when he came up, he just checked that he was fine and he was relieved, and then handed over the greeting card from the Xu family.

"People from the Xu family invite the young master to come over...to see the dowry that has been counted." Chang Ming said softly. "The counting room at home has been prepared, and if the young master goes there, he will take it with him."

Chu Ning nodded, hesitated for a while, and asked Chang Ming to take someone to Xu's house, and settle the dowry matter while Xiu Mu was at it.

Standing at the gate of Xu's house again, Chu Ning's mood was completely different from before.When he was guarding the northern border, he always felt strange and desolate when he came back, as if there was no place for him.Standing at the gate of Xu's house after being released from prison, I feel that things are different and people are different, with mixed feelings in my heart.

Standing at the door of Xu's house now, she has no emotion at all.At this moment, he just wanted to get back the dowry and had nothing to do with the Xu family.

Chu Ning handed over the post to the porter, asking him to go in and report.The concierge's footsteps were fast, and he ran away in a blink of an eye.

"Young Master, I heard that Mrs. Xu invited a matchmaker to come over and make love to Mrs. Xu." Chang Ming reminded from the side. "The Xu family didn't intend to show off."

"Don't talk nonsense." Chu Ning said in a low voice, "It is common sense for men to marry women, so what does it have to do with us?"

In fact, Chang Ming was only worried about Chu Ning. Seeing that Chu Ning thought like this, he knew that his young master didn't care about the Xu family so much, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, footsteps came from inside the gate, and then the gate was opened again.Chu Ning was ready to go in with the concierge, but when she looked up, Xu Chengxuan came to greet her in person.

Chu Ning was slightly taken aback, and quickly saluted. "Master Xu."

Xu Chengxuan's condition didn't look very good, it seemed that he was still affected by the incident that Xie Heng came out of Chu's house that day.Only when she looked up and saw Chu Ning, there was a little light in her eyes.

"Ah...General Chu." Xu Chengxuan also returned to Pingli.He seemed to want to call him Ah Ning, but he resisted and changed it back to General Chu. "Come with me please."

Chu Ning was still so familiar with everything in the courtyard of Xu's family. After walking through the corridor, there was the front hall, and then Xu Chengxuan's courtyard.Saying familiar is also familiar, saying unfamiliar is also unfamiliar.

Because after all, this was never his home.

"Ah Ning... how are you doing these past few days?" Xu Chengxuan walked on Chu Ning's body, his eyes followed Chu Ning closely, and asked eagerly.

"Very good." Chu Ning nodded, but didn't say anything else.

"Then... can Xie Heng do anything for you?" Xu Chengxuan asked tentatively.He knew that Chu Ningsu didn't have much contact with people in Beijing, and the only one who had good friends was Lin Yanqing.Now that Chu Ning no longer has the jade ring on her body, he can almost be sure that Chu Ning rejected Lin Yanqing.

As for Xie Heng, in his impression Chu Ning and Xie Heng had no friendship, so he could ignore it temporarily.After all, he is the husband-in-law appointed by the grandfather of the Chu family, so he should have a place in Chu Ning's heart.

Thinking of this, several people have already entered the front hall.

Chu Ning originally thought that she would meet the matchmaker and Mrs. Xu, but he seemed to be overthinking.As soon as he entered the front hall, there was no one in the room, only Xu Chengxuan took a small box from the table.

"A Ning, here are the 150 shops you gave to the Xu family, and the five farms in the suburbs of Beijing, and the land deeds of [-] acres of fertile land. You can count them." Xu Chengxuan pushed the box to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning turned her head to look at the accountant, and motioned him to come over and count.

Chu Ning was relieved that the Xu family would not sell these things.He also doesn't have to ask for the profits from paving the farmland.After all, the Xu family has been taking care of it all the time, and it's troublesome to count, and he doesn't care much about petty profits.

It's just that in addition to these, there is 100 million cash in his dowry.For such a large amount of cash, part of it was banknotes, and the other part was carried to Xu's treasury on the day of the wedding.This money Chu Ning only has about 30 banknotes here, and the rest is in Mrs. Xu's hands.

"Master, there is no problem with the land deed." The accountant quickly counted each land deed carefully.

Chu Ning nodded, signaling Chang Ming to accept it.

"The gold and silver jewelry that you married as a dowry is now sealed in the warehouse, and you can send someone to check it at any time." Xu Chengxuan continued, "It's just that it may be slightly damaged."

Chu Ning nodded again, waiting for Xu Chengxuan to continue.

"It's just that there was 70 cash at the beginning, and only 50 banknotes were counted. Because my mother took care of it for me and embezzled some, it will take some time for the remaining 20 cash." Xu Chengxuan hesitated with his head down.

The 50 silver is already his limit.All the income from the farm and shop at home has been counted, and all that can be collected has been collected.It's just that the mother was greedy for the property of the Chu family, and thought that the money from marrying Chu Ning would belong to the Xu family. In the past few years, she had spent a lot of money on her own affairs and her own extravagant life.

Now it is difficult to get it all together.I can only hope that Chu Ning will not care about so much, and see how much he can reduce or reduce based on his sincerity.

"Chang Ming, please draw up a document." Chu Ning said expressionlessly, "Let's say that the Xu family delivered the Chu family's dowry today, with 150 shops, five farms in the suburbs of Beijing, 50 acres of fertile land, and ten boxes of dowry jewelry. [-] cash in cash. Thanks to his seven-year shelter, [-] in cash will be waived. The rest will be delivered at a later date."

For Chu Ning, [-] cash is not a small amount, but when her grandfather asked the Xu family, the money was regarded as a gift from her grandfather.As for him and Xu Chengxuan, the relationship has been severed, and the remaining [-] cash is the proof that they have nothing to do with each other.

Husband and wife are inseparable from each other. How has he and Xu Chengxuan ever been a real couple.

Xu Chengxuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, wondering if he had sensed what Chu Ning meant.

Chang Ming moved quickly, and he was the most active when protecting Chu Ning's interests.The document was written in duplicate, signed by Chu Ning and Xu Chengxuan.

And the last time the two of them did this was when they went through the formalities at the household registration department of Jingzhaoyin.Thinking about it now, it has been a full seven years.

Xu Chengxuan seemed to have thought of this as well, just raised his head and quietly stared at Chu Ning who was writing with her head down.It was the first time that he felt such serious regret in divorcing his wife.

He finally knew that he actually liked the people around him very much, and they were once a couple who could live together for a lifetime, but all of this was destroyed by himself.He really wanted to ask Chu Ning if he still had a chance, but just when he was about to speak, he saw Chu Ning's eyes when she raised her head - she had no attachment to him.

It can even be said to be very indifferent.Like a sharp knife, it pierced into his heart unexpectedly.

"Chang Ming, take someone to collect the documents and put them in the warehouse, and I will go home first." Chu Ning ordered in a low voice.

"To take a rest today, why not..." Before Xu Chengxuan could utter his words, Mrs. Xu's maid, Shi Shiran, came over and bowed to Xu Chengxuan.

"Madam said that Madam Zhao sent a girl from an innocent family, please go over and have a look, if you like it, please take it in and serve him first." Looking at Chu Ning's reaction.

"Go down! Who allowed you to come in!" Xu Chengxuan was so anxious that he directly reprimanded the maid beside his mother.

The maid didn't expect Xu Chengxuan to be so angry, she shivered in fright and hurriedly retreated.

Xu Chengxuan looked at Chu Ning in a panic, trying to know Chu Ning's reaction, but saw that there was no wave on Chu Ning's face, and his expression was still as usual.

Chu Ning was indeed taken aback when she heard the word concubine, but it wasn't because Xu Chengxuan, who had never been close to women, suddenly took a concubine, but because she remembered that Xie Heng had also said about taking a concubine before.I'm afraid it's also what the family said.

At Xie Heng's age, it is indeed time to marry a wife and have children.

"Ah Ning..." Xu Chengxuan interrupted.

"Huh? Congratulations, Mr. Xu." Chu Ning realized that he had left Xu Chengxuan alone for a long time. "Since Mr. Xu still has something to do, I will take my leave. The Chu family will come to move things, so I won't bother Mr. Xu."

What Xu Chengxuan wanted to say was blocked tightly.

After finishing speaking, Chu Ning didn't wait for the servants of the Xu family to lead the way, and went out by herself.He is probably more familiar with this section of the road than some servants who have just entered Xu's house.

Xu Chengxuan wanted to say something, but it was too late, he could only watch Chu Ning leave.Chang Ming, on the other hand, dutifully counted things and arranged for his servants to carry them.

As for Xu Chengxuan... as long as he is from the Chu family, no one has a good opinion of him.Even if he wants to inquire about something, no one will pay attention to him.

It took more than half a day just to count and transport these things, and the accountant and Chang Ming counted them one by one into the Chu family's warehouse.As for the shops and fertile fields, due to lack of manpower, Chu Ning called Zhi Fei to help.

Now that he and Xie Heng are married, it shouldn't be a problem for Zhifei to order him around...

Chu Ning commanded Zhifei with peace of mind, and left Zhifei alone when the two returned to their orders.

Immediately, Chang Ming looked at Zhi Fei fiercely, but because it was Chu Ning's order, he had no choice but to guard the gate.

When Chang Ming left, Chu Ning quickly sat up straight without bothering to hide it, and asked directly, "Zhi Fei, answer me honestly..."

"Is Xie Heng going to take a concubine?"

The author has something to say: Chu Chu started to care about Xie Heng

concubine is not possible

Chuchu is now a little rich woman
