"Copy a copy of the items that are missing from the dowry?" Yu Ruiwen asked puzzledly, "What's there to copy? If Jiaoer likes or dislikes something, the father can just go find it."
"Father, I just want to see how many things are missing from the things that the county monarch prepared at that time. If I have a chance to find one or two items someday, I will get closer to the county monarch."
Yu Xijiao lowered her head and bit her lip gently.
Yu Ruiwen sighed. Although his daughter's idea seemed strange, it made sense because his daughter was grateful for Yu Lanxuan's life-saving grace.
"Mrs. Ning, I wonder if this is okay?" Yu Ruiwen turned to Ning, her voice cold.
"Marquis Xuanping does what he wants." Ning said hurriedly with a smile, how could she hesitate to refuse such a thing.
Chu Zihan took a deep look at Yu Xijiao and said nothing, feeling even more displeased with this troublesome Miss Yu.
The steward came over with pen and ink prepared and started copying on the spot. Yu Xijiao took Qingyue over and looked at the steward's excerpts.
The dowry was folded into three sections, and it looked like it was a huge amount, but in fact it was only half, and the second half of the dowry was not sent to Xin Kangbo Mansion at that time.
What Ning took out has been taken back, and what needs to be dealt with now is the part that Xin Kangbo Mansion returned.
Yu Xijiao just looked at it calmly and basically didn't move. She only checked a few things outside. Most of them were covered with red seals. The seals were not opened, but her banknotes were still hidden.
"Miss Yu San, these were originally prepared by the county prince, but now things have changed. If I had known that I was so sad now, it would have been better not to have been engaged." Chu Zihan's voice sounded from behind, his voice was sad and painful.
However, Yu Xijiao was unwilling to listen to this show. As if she didn't hear the words behind her, she pointed at a place and asked the steward about the object written on it.
"Miss Yu San, this golden floral gauze curtain was lost in the chaos of that day. It was not a big thing. When it was kneaded into a ball, I don't know who took it away. It was once the county prince's favorite thing...
…I’m…it’s really useless, I actually let the county prince lose everything he loves.”
Chu Zihan's voice was choked with sobs.
"How does the Crown Prince know that this is the love of the County Lord? I heard that although the Crown Prince and the County Lord are engaged, it is rare for the County Lord to observe filial piety." Yu Xijiao finally turned around, curled her lips at Chu Zihan, and smiled.
The meaning is clear and shallow.
"Although the county prince and I rarely see each other, the marriage between our two families has been arranged for a long time. There are some old things, and the wife has also told me about them. As far as the county prince is concerned, she is my fiancée no matter what.
It is my responsibility, and now that she has passed away... Yin and Yang are separated... I have not been able to fulfill her wish, and I really feel ashamed of her."
Chu Zihan clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the distant sky, the direction where Yu Lanxuan set herself on fire.
The words were affectionate and meaningful, but also frank and natural, indicating that the relationship between him and Yu Lanxuan was a matter of responsibility and friendship, but this friendship was not a personal relationship.
The corner of Yu Xijiao's lips curled up slightly, "The prince is absolutely right. I heard that Yu Lanyan married into the Xinkang Bo Mansion because of the county prince's request. I don't know if this is true or not?"
Chu Zihan sighed, looked away, and nodded heavily: "This is true."
"So, the prince is really affectionate and righteous, but I have a question, I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"Miss Yu San, please speak." Chu Zihan's eyes fell on Yu Xijiao's face. Her expression was gentle. If you look carefully, she was still a bit haggard. Thinking of his experience, it made people sigh.
"Everyone said that day that Lord Lanxuan left the message. I wonder who actually heard what the Lord said?" Yu Xi asked with a smile, her expression cold.
"Mrs. Mrs. Yu sent someone to explain this matter." Chu Zihan was startled, but then said vaguely.
"Actually, I'm just curious. I heard that the fire broke out suddenly. Mrs. Zhengyuanhou and the county prince were both buried in the fire because they slept late at night and were so deep in sleep that they couldn't react for a while. Then...
…When you were rescued, could you really say such things?”
Yu Xijiao tilted her head slightly to one side, with a bit of innocent curiosity, but her eyes were dim and difficult to distinguish.
Deep in the black pupils, a glint of ice-like darkness flashed.
The stage was set up, and she sang with him...
"The incident happened suddenly, and the county king passed away suddenly. He only had time to leave these words before he passed away. Even if these words... are a little inappropriate, for the sake of the county king... I will do it. This is my respect to the county king.
I promised Marquis Zhengyuan that I would take care of the county prince for the rest of my life, treat her well for the rest of my life, and keep her alone."
The weight of these words was extremely heavy. It was clearly a promise to Marquis Zhengyuan that he would stay with her alone for the rest of his life. It meant that he would only love Yu Lanxuan and would not have any other concubines or aunts.
When Yu Ruiwen, who happened to come over, heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Did the Crown Prince actually agree to this matter for Marquis Zhengyuan?"
"It was me who suggested it, not Marquis Zhengyuan's request." Chu Zihan bowed deeply to Yu Ruiwen.
Yu Ruiwen couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty... you really value friendship!"
"I don't care about love and righteousness, I just... think the county gentleman deserves better. What I promised was not fulfilled in the end... I feel ashamed of the county gentleman." Chu Zihan's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't say any more. It could be seen that he was
Hold back the sadness.
"It is not easy for the prince to do this for the county prince. The county prince will definitely like it if he knows it." Yu Xijiao raised her eyes and looked at Yu Ruiwen, "Father, the prince values love and righteousness so much, why don't you come to express your gratitude to the emperor?
Commendation!”
"Children, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Ruiwenxu patted his daughter on the head and said disapprovingly.
"Father, is it possible that my daughter is wrong? There are women in this world who keep the rules, why don't men do the same? The prince is so kind, but he is not willing to live up to the county prince's friendship. He did not see the county prince's last face. He only relied on Zheng Yuanhou
Just a word from the government, he took up the moral responsibility and married Yu Lanyan regardless of the rumors outside. Shouldn't such a person...should be rewarded?"
Yu Xijiao raised her little face and asked in confusion.
Chu Zihan's face froze and he looked at Yu Xijiao in shock.
Yu Ruiwen originally really felt that Chu Zihan was affectionate and righteous, but now he listened to his daughter and inexplicably had an "impossible" thought.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that the meaning was even more strange. I looked at Chu Zihan with a more scrutinizing gaze and blurted out: "Prince Xin Kangbo, do you want to keep integrity for the Lord Lanxuan County?"
Chu Zihan's face turned red, angry and annoyed. He just hated the blind father and daughter in front of him. How could he say such a thing? Is this what a normal person would say?
There is a saying about men observing moral integrity!
"Marquis Xuanping was joking. Even if I had my heart, my parents would not agree."
"Mrs. Xin Kangbo and Xin Kangbo disagree, and this makes the prince very embarrassed, right?" Yu Xijiao sighed softly, looking at Chu Zihan with a look of sympathy, she reached out and gently held Yu Ruiwen's sleeve, "Father
, please help Crown Prince Kangbo. It’s already very sad that the Crown Prince is separated from Juntian and Ren of Lanxuan County forever. If this doesn’t work, I’m afraid the Crown Prince will..."
Yu Xijiao glanced at Chu Zihan with her eyes as she spoke, and motioned to Yu Ruiwen to see that Chu Zihan looked hopeless.
Chu Zihan's face froze, and he hurriedly grabbed the topic with a serious face: "I don't care about this matter, Marquis Xuanping. I have no connection with the county prince. Although it is sad, it will not break the human relationship, otherwise I would not be able to face Lieutenant General."
My ancestors are worthy of being called the descendants of the Chu family."
Yu Xijiao sneered in her heart, Chu Zihan was really good at making superficial remarks as always. If he hadn't been like this, he wouldn't have deceived his father into agreeing to the marriage between the two families. His mother was extremely satisfied with him, but his father had already
When he was suspicious, no matter how much he said, it would only make his father more suspicious.
As soon as the words came out, Chu Zihan also found that he was a little irritable. He coughed and wanted to make up for it, but he saw that Yu Xijiao had already pulled Yu Ruiwen to the side: "Father, come here and take a look at this set of crystal lamps. They are the same as those at home."
?"
Yu Ruiwen glanced at Chu Zihan, followed his daughter, and threw Chu Zihan there directly. Chu Zihan's last words vaguely overturned his previous meaning. The words did not match, but he repeatedly flaunted himself as a man, Yu Ruiwen
It feels a little fake.
He could see that Chu Zihan was definitely not stupid, so... there was a problem...
Chu Zihan watched the fathers leave helplessly, suppressing his emotions, knowing that this time was not appropriate. Just now, he was too eager because of Yu Xijiao's words, so that there was a loophole in his words, but who
To think that such a weak girl in a deep harem would say something to one thing or another, making him pay attention to one thing and not the other for a while.
His brows furrowed slightly, and it looked like he could only wait until next time!
Although this daughter of Marquis Xuanping is not pleasing to the eye, she is backed by a great scholar of the Xie family and has royal blood. Her status is also remarkable. If she can get married to her, it will be of great benefit to herself, not to mention her age.
She is still young and will not ask herself to get married immediately. During this period of time, she can miss Yu Lanxuan in front of others.
It is impossible to observe the festival for a lifetime, but it is still possible to observe it for one or two years. Of course, this can only be superficial!
However, there is still a gap between the two people's identities. If her reputation is slightly damaged, it will be a good opportunity...
Although Ning was in the pavilion, she kept looking over. When she saw Chu Zihan and Yu Xijiao talking, she was almost furious. She looked at Yu Xijiao's back with gloomy eyes and gritted her teeth.
In Ning's eyes, Chu Zihan has always been her son-in-law. He was before and will always be in the future!
At this moment, Ning did not dare to offend Marquis Xuanping again. She swallowed hard and looked up with a gentle smile on her face. She talked to the two clan elders about the current situation in the house.
He also wiped away tears and implicitly told the two clan elders that he had no choice but to do so before.
The Zhengyuan Hou Mansion has been in decline. If she does not form a strong marriage, the entire Zhengyuan Hou Mansion will involve the Yu family and may become a stepping stone for others. In fact, she has nothing to do.
The two clan elders were the two who saw Yu Lanxue fall that day. They were highly respected in the clan and had disdain for what Ning did before. But now after hearing what Ning said, they actually fell silent. They even felt that
There is some truth to the rhetoric. This is not a matter for the Zhengyuan Hou family, but for the entire Yu family.
Now it’s time to tide over the difficulties together.
The two of them looked at each other and felt that they had to persuade Marquis Xuan Ping about this matter so that his family would not really cause trouble.
"Husband...Madam, Prince Duan and Prince Qi...the crown prince is here." A steward ran in from outside with a disheveled look on his face. When the Prince of Qi is mentioned in the current Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, whoever's teeth will fight...
