As expected, after Shangguan Qingyao returned home, she was so angry that she stopped pretending and smashed the house to pieces.
He was even more angry when he heard from his servants that he had not been able to find out the identity of the woman.
"When did a girl named Xu'er appear in the capital?"
She didn't know anything about this matter. What she cared about most now was Chu Xuazhi's attitude towards Xu'er.
It was a tenderness she had never seen before.
Over the years, she had shamelessly chased Chu Xuazhi, under tremendous pressure, just hoping that one day Chu Xuazhi would look back and see her well.
But Chu Xuanzhi betrayed him.
The more Shangguan Qingyao thought about it, the more sad and sad she became. She was so angry that she yelled, and she no longer had the image of a lady in front of outsiders.
"Sister, King Xuan is already disabled, so why should you cling to King Xuan? There are so many princes and princes for you to choose from, so why not give up early."
Shangguan Yunyao felt sorry for her sister. Although she also felt that Chu Xuazhi had a noble status and was the former God of War, that was all in the past. At this time, Chu Xuazhi was just a loser!
It's not worth my sister's heartache for him.
"That person named Xu'er must be a person of unknown origin. He seduces people randomly based on his good looks. I will definitely send someone to keep an eye on him."
If it falls into her hands, she will definitely find a way to vent her anger on her sister.
Shangguan Qingyao closed her eyes and took a deep breath, with a fierce look in her eyes: "I have paid so much in vain over the years and allowed others to laugh at me. I must get this debt back."
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
Shangguan Qingyao suddenly opened his eyes: "I'm looking for my father to come to break off the engagement! He, Chu Xuanzhi, can't reach me, Shangguan Qingyao!"
Shangguan Qingyao did what he said without hesitation, and went to find King Dongyang without hesitation. As soon as he told the matter, King Dongyang became so angry that he shouted: "Chu Xuanzhi, that's too much. You dare to underestimate me, Prince Dongyang. Back then,
If it were not for the sake of the late emperor, how could I have betrothed my daughter to him?"
So King Dongyang went directly to the palace to find Emperor Lingzhou to annul the engagement without saying a word.
In less than an hour, this matter became a big deal. When the news reached Jiang Yunxu's ears, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is the engagement really broken off?"
"Yes." Hong Qiao covered her mouth and smiled: "When I passed by the small kitchen just now, I heard several maids discussing privately, saying that King Xuan was not lucky, and a good person like the princess had missed out."
Jiang Yunxu didn't think so. The look in Shangguan Qingyao's eyes was uncomfortable and very hypocritical.
He is not as hot-tempered as Shangguan Yunyao, but is actually easy to get along with.
Suddenly there was a knocking sound under the door and window. Hong Qiao immediately stepped forward and found an exquisite wooden box. She brought it to Jiang Yunxu in confusion.
Jiang Yunxu reached out and opened it, and there was a thick stack of banknotes inside. Counting them, there were at least thirty or forty thousand.
"This is a thank you gift from the master."
Yin Lei's voice came through the window.
Jiang Yunxu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he accepted the thank you gift unceremoniously, and immediately said: "Your master is too polite. If you need help in the future, just ask, I will be obliged to do so."
This Chu Xuazhi is too generous, she likes it!
At this moment, the housekeeper walked into the courtyard, stood in the middle of the courtyard and shouted: "Princess, my dear, please go to the hall, someone from the Prime Minister's Office is here to deliver the dowry."
Jiang Yunxu was not interested in the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the second half, she stood up and said, "Hong Qiao, come with me."
"yes."
When she arrived at the hall, Jiang Yunxu looked straight at it. What a good day it was today. It actually made her gain several fortunes.
There are at least a hundred large boxes in front of you. They are filled with gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, pearls and jade, rich clothes, countless knick-knacks, and a whole set of valuable pear wood furniture.
, tables, chairs, benches, imperial concubine couch, everything is complete.
This battle is too luxurious.
"Princess Chen, this is the dowry sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is all compensated to you one by one when Feng entered the mansion. Here is the list, please take a look." The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion handed over a thick stack of lists.
Passed it to Jiang Yunxu.
Jiang Yunxu reached out and took the order. He didn't sign in a hurry, but started to check it.
She had suffered losses and been deceived, so she had to know whether these dowries were tatters.
"Sister, this is a generous compensation from the Prime Minister's Office to you. If you check like this, you don't trust the Prime Minister's Office, and it will chill the heart of the Prime Minister's Office."
Jiang Yaner finally couldn't help but speak. She squeezed the veil tightly and almost tore it to pieces.
Such a large dowry must have been raised by the Prime Minister's Office, which almost emptied the family's wealth.
She regretted it more and more now. Why didn't she kill this bitch directly?
It has become a disaster until now!
It's really annoying.
Jiang Yunxu was in a very good mood today, so she didn't argue with Jiang Yan'er. She made sure that there was no fake stuff and that it was all real good stuff. Then she grinned and signed for the housekeeper to go back and deliver the work. She was just happy,
But he ignored the extremely vicious look in the butler's eyes before leaving.
"Hongqiao."
"My slave is here."
Jiang Yunxu raised his chin: "Call the shopkeepers of several pawn shops in the capital immediately. All these dowries have been sold."
"What?" Jiang Yan'er thought she heard wrongly: "Jiang Yunxu, are you crazy? How could you sell all the dowry? Are you crazy because of poverty?"
Jiang Yunxu frowned: "What's wrong with me selling my own dowry?"
"Of course not!" Chu Youqi also caught up, looking at the dowry that filled the yard, and his eyes turned red. If all these were collected, it would definitely give him a lot of help.
All these dowries must be kept in the Three Princes' Mansion. If he marries Jiang Yunxu, these dowries should be used by the Three Princes' Mansion.
Jiang Yunxu ignored it: "The dowry was compensated to me, so I have the final say, and no one else has the final say."
She glanced at Hongqiao, who immediately turned around and left. An angry Chu Youqi said angrily: "A woman sells her dowry. Those who don't know think that the Three Princes' Palace has treated you harshly. Where do you want my face to go?"
put?"
"That's right, sister, don't be confused. How can a girl sell her dowry on her own?"
Jiang Yaner also refused to let her handle the dowry. These things belonged to the prime minister's house and had to be under her eyes.
One or two obstructions could not stop Jiang Yunxu at all.
"Third Prince, don't worry. I will never mention your harsh treatment of me when I go out in the future. I will also explain to everyone I meet that I want to sell this dowry myself for convenience. Besides, my mother is no longer here. I keep these."
Wouldn’t it be more sad to see things and miss people?”
Jiang Yunxu's clever mouth and sharp teeth made the other party speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, the two people couldn't stop it, so Jiang Yan'er had no choice but to say: "You have to sell it, but you must leave a receipt and write down the amount."
"Yes, the numbers won't match up in the future, so you won't have to falsely accuse the Three Princes' Mansion." Chu Youqi thought about it, and could only settle for the next best thing.
It's also a good idea to keep the banknote, and it will be convenient for him to use.
This reason was so reasonable that Jiang Yunxu couldn't refuse and immediately said: "Yes!"
Soon several pawnshop owners came, accompanied by about a dozen waiters, and began to estimate the dowry.
After taking inventory one by one, it was almost dark. Jiang Yunxu yawned, ate the snacks brought by Hongqiao, and slowly watched a group of people taking stock.
Finally, the inventory was completed in the middle of the night.
"How much silver?" Jiang Yan'er asked impatiently, as if it was her dowry.
The total given by several shopkeepers was two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Jiang Yunxu took a breath, obediently, there were so many, she suddenly became a rich person.
It was another hour when the shopkeepers collected the banknotes. When they saw that twenty thousand-tael banknotes were handed over, Chu Youqi and Jiang Yaner's eyes widened.
"Sister, you are the mistress of the palace, so you should keep some silver in the palace. After all, you are also a member of this family, right?" Jiang Yan'er said.
Chu Youqi expressed that he was very satisfied with Jiang Yan'er's words and nodded in approval.
Hearing this, Jiang Yunxu squinted at the two people. She was really thick-skinned, so she took out a few symbolically.
Jiang Yan'er was overjoyed when she saw this. Now that it was in the hands of the housekeeper, it wasn't her own decision?
But she watched helplessly as Jiang Yunxu put the banknotes in his hands into his arms, took a bulging sachet from Hong Qiao's hand, and threw it on the table; "Are these enough?"
Listening to the clattering movement, it was probably copper coins.
Jiang Yan'er's face instantly stiffened, and she said angrily: "Sister, where are you sending beggars?"
"Since I entered the mansion, I have paid for everything I eat and drink by myself. Even a cup of tea has to be paid for by myself. I haven't even seen a grain of rice in the big kitchen. Why should I hand over money to the father-in-law? What kind of logic is this?"
Jiang Yunxu was still reluctant to part with it, and reached out to take the sachet back: "I don't enjoy the blessings of the hostess, but I have to pay for it. If I spread the word, I won't be afraid of being laughed at!"
