The jade lady hesitated for a moment before replying: "I didn't buy this, it was a gift from my cousin."
"Oh~~ It's a gift from my cousin." Ning Yujin had a meaningful look on her face, then she turned cold and slapped the table and said, "Your cousin is really affectionate towards you, so I'll give it to you."
Xiangyue’s dowry is here to please you!”
The old lady Pu quickly knelt down and explained: "Princess, that's not the case. You listen to Yu Niang's explanation. You listen to Yu Niang's explanation..."
Na Yuniang was shocked when she heard Mrs. Pu call Ning Yujin "Princess Princess", but after bowing and saluting, she calmly said: "I didn't know this belonged to Sister Xiangyue."
If you don’t know about the dowry gift, you are not guilty. Please forgive me, the princess.”
"If you don't know this, you are not guilty. How can I dare to blame you?" Ning Yujin spread her hands and asked Yu Niang to hand over the warm jade bracelet. She snorted and said, "But you know that your cousin is already married.
My wife spreads gossip about a lonely man and a widowed woman. Doesn’t this mean that the ignorant is not guilty?”
Na Yuniang said: "Princess, your Majesty's law does not stipulate that a man can only marry one wife. There are many dignitaries with three wives and four concubines. Even if my cousin marries a wife, it doesn't matter. He
You can take a concubine, raise a aunt, or even become an equal wife, and no one will say anything."
"This little mouth is really smart." Ning Yujin smiled when she heard these words. When she turned around and put the bracelet on Xiangyue again, she said, "Did you hear that? Pingzhu, Xiangyue, I
In the past, whenever you suffered a little grievance, you would go to someone to fight to the death. Why are you being bullied like this now?"
"Miss, I..."
"Okay," Ning Yujin said after putting on the bracelet for Xiangyue, "You and Xiangqiao have one of these bracelets. You plan to use them as dowries for your daughters in the future. Don't wear them on other people's hands again."
Xiangyue nodded: "Yes."
Ning Yujin patted Xiangyue's hand, turned around, smiled and said to Yuniang: "Do you want to marry your cousin?"
Yuniang said: "My cousin and I have a deep love..."
"Okay, there is no need to say anything else, I understand." Ning Yujin nodded, "Then let Pu Yuan come over and make peace with Xiangyue. It will just make room for these lovers."
"Miss!"
"Princess Princess!"
Everyone present was surprised.
Xiangqiao thought Ning Yujin was just here to teach the Pu family a lesson so that they would not dare to bully Xiangyue, but she didn't expect that she would actually let them go!
You must know that Xiangyue is still pregnant with a child. Is it possible for her to remarry with a pregnant belly?
Xiangyue also didn't expect that Ning Yujin, who had always been so kind to her, would suddenly say such a sentence, which frightened her so much that she couldn't recover for a moment.
The old lady Pu quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess, my dear, Xiangyue is still pregnant with the descendants of our Pu family, you can't do this!"
But Yu Niang straightened her back and said, "Princess, I have no intention of breaking them up."
"Ha." Ning Yujin sneered, "Don't want to break them up? That's good, you can pack up and bow immediately, and go back to where they came from."
"Princess Princess!" The jade lady was a little unconvinced, but Mrs. Pu pulled her hard twice and shut her mouth.
Mrs. Pu quickly agreed and said, "I will send someone to take Yu Niang back."
Ning Yujin nodded and continued: "Didn't you have an old house with two entrances and two exits before Xiangyue got married? Just send the uncle there and hire someone to take care of him. Don't bother the pregnant women here."
"Yes yes yes."
"Go and invite two maids and two wives to come back. Some are responsible for housework and food and daily life, and two are left to take care of Xiangyue. But don't worry, maid Xiangyue can still afford this."
"Yes yes yes."
"I heard that you are still looking after a rice store? In that case, let Xiangyue take charge. She also did a good job when she was my head."
"Yes yes yes."
"Oh," Ning Yujin seemed to suddenly remember something, "By the way, in order to prevent some people from using Xiangyue's dowry to please my cousin or something, I brought an accountant over to prepare for the settlement of Xiangyue's dowry.
There is no problem with this."
As soon as he said this, Mrs. Pu suddenly raised her head and her eyes widened in horror: "This...this...is actually not necessary."
Ning Yujin said with a smile: "It's not necessary. After all, the law in Daye stipulates that the dowry is a woman's private property and her husband's family cannot touch it. But to be on the safe side, it is better to liquidate it."
Old Mrs. Pu still wanted to shirk it, but Ning Yujin said again: "I heard that Pu Yuandao seems to be looking for a low-level official position in Shengjing Mansion?"
When Mrs. Pu heard the mention of her son, her eyes immediately shone: "Yes, yes. A few months ago, my son was promoted by the master of Shengjing Mansion, and he has been working in the Yamen for several months. In the future, I will invite the princess to do more.
Just say a few kind words and give the kid a chance for promotion."
Ning Yujin nodded: "Xiangyue has been with me since she was a child, and I treat her as a sister. As long as you do the things I just said, I will naturally not ignore her husband's future.
, everything is easy to talk about.”
Mrs. Pu immediately kowtowed several times in gratitude and became more and more polite as she spoke.
Ning Yujin clapped her hands and asked the accountant to come in, and said: "Please follow the list carefully, find out the way out if you are not good, and prepare a list to report to me."
"yes."
Ning Yujin turned her head and said to the old lady Pu: "I haven't seen Xiangyue for a long time, so I took her back to the palace to stay for a few nights. When everything is fine here, I will send someone to send her back.
"
Mrs. Pu was a little embarrassed: "This..."
But at this moment, Ning Yujin had already clapped her hands and let all the old ladies come in. They were all so rough and fierce that Old Mrs. Pu was so angry that she didn't even dare to say a word.
Ning Yujin also asked her with a smile: "Do you have any questions?"
Mrs. Pu shook her head quickly: "No problem, no problem!"
This Ning Yujin seems to be easy to bully, but when she really gets aggressive, it's hard for anyone to resist!
Now she took the people away directly, forcing them to find a way to meet the conditions she proposed.
Ning Yujin had someone find a spacious and comfortable carriage to take Xiangyue back.
On the way, Xiangqiao felt relieved just thinking about the faces of those people, but Xiangyue looked sad.
Seeing this, Ning Yujin sighed and asked Xiangyue: "Do you like that Pu Yuandao?"
Xiangyue shook her head and smiled bitterly: "What do you like or dislike about the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker?"
"Is that the child in the worried belly?"
Xiangyue reached out and touched her already bulging belly, with an indescribable sadness on her face: "He is still so young, I'm afraid he will suffer in the future."
Ning Yujin laughed when she heard this: "If you let him grow up in that kind of environment, he will definitely suffer. If you are willing to make peace with that Pu Yuan, I will let Mo Jingxiao adopt your child as his adopted son.
Who dares to say anything about him then?"
Xiangyue bit her lower lip: "But after all, he is the child's biological father..."
Ning Yujin patted her hand: "I won't force you, there is still time, you can think slowly."
