But although the mastermind is Li Ruyan, Zhang's and Li Shoude's and the old lady all know about it.

After they knew that Li Ruyan was going to plant the blame, they not only blocked Li Ruyan, but deliberately added fuel to the fire.

This is not to blame them, who told the old lady in the family who was going to die that planned to give Li Rulan most of the family's property as a dowry.

The old lady usually treats Li Rulan a little bit better, but so much family property is given to Li Rulan, they can't agree.

Therefore, although Li Ruyan's framing was vicious, it did help them.

They are naturally happy to be able to quietly save most of their family property.

And now, anyway, Li Rulan is married, and she no longer needs a dowry.

What's more, the old lady was already terminally ill and couldn't speak, so they were relieved to let Li Rulan go back.

After hearing Zhang's words, Shen Zhengwen quietly clenched his fists, and looked at Li Rulan with his eyes and couldn't stop the pain in his heart.

When he rescued Li Rulan, who was about to commit suicide by jumping into the lake, he knew that she must have suffered some major blow.

In order not to make Li Rulan sad, he never took the initiative to ask her why she couldn't think about things so much.

Hearing Zhang's words today, he knew that Rulan had suffered such a big grievance in the Li family.

The women's festival is bigger than the sky, and a boudoir woman who lost her name and was expelled from the house will drown in the spittle of people even if she doesn't seek death.

In the past ten years, he has been glad more than once that he passed by the lake and saved Li Rulan.

If you hadn't gone to the lake that day, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Shen Zhengwen stretched out his arm and wrapped his arms around Li Rulan's thin shoulders to show comfort.

Li Rulan understood what he meant, and showed him a reassuring smile.

Xiao Niannian also hugged Li Rulan's neck and rubbed her little face on her mother's face.

Her mood was the same as Shen Zhengwen, she was extremely angry at what the Li family had done, and she was also very distressed about her mother.

She secretly made up her mind in her heart, wait, the things those people did to her mother, the pain that her mother suffered, she would double her to ask them back!

Tiezi and Huzi also understood the meaning of Zhang's words, knowing that their mother's mother had experienced bad things before, so they silently approached their mother's mother, and then stared at Zhang's angrily.

Tuanzi and Yuanzi didn't understand what Zhang was saying, but they all followed suit and glared at Zhang with their brothers.

Li Rulan felt the care and support of her family, and a burst of warmth swelled in her heart, and the boredom brought to her by the Zhang family was washed away.

Being stared at by a group of children, Zhang's expression was a little unnatural, and he pursed his lips and was about to persuade Li Rulan to go back to Li's mansion with her, but Li Rulan said one step ahead of her: "Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me, don't think I don't know the pickled things you are doing behind your back." Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come, you just wait! ”

She said and directly bypassed Zhang's family, and said to Shen Zhengwen and the children: "Let's go, if it's too late, we will miss the morning market." ”

"Li Rulan!" Zhang looked at Li Rulan's back and gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you hate us, don't you even care about your father?" He hasn't eaten since you left yesterday, and I don't think he will last long if he continues like this! The next time you go back, you may have to attend his funeral! ”

Li Rulan's footsteps paused, and a sour feeling rose in her heart, and at the same time, she hated Li Shoude, Li Ruyan and others even more.

But she didn't show it to her face, she knew that she couldn't expose her weakness in front of the enemy.

She pretended to be relaxed and dropped a sentence lightly.

"If you want me to go back, you can carry the sedan chair eight and the gift of nine guests, otherwise you don't have to talk about it."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Zhang standing in place for a long time.

Zhang's personal maid stepped forward to comfort her, and said indignantly: "That Li Rulan has to inch in, it's really too much!" She also has to carry eight sedan chairs and nine guests, what is she supposed to be? I can't help but think too much of myself! ”

The gift of eight sedan chairs and nine guests is the highest etiquette for receiving distinguished guests.

Needless to say, the eight-lift sedan chair is a large sedan chair that needs to be carried by eight people, and only high-ranking officials or distinguished guests will use it.

For example, during the wedding leave, the bride was carried into the house with eight sedan chairs, which showed the importance of the bride.

As the name suggests, nine people should be arranged from the inside of the house to the outside, and when they greet the guests, they call out loudly, and they are passed down from top to bottom, and the momentum is majestic.

The ceremony of the Nine Guests is more solemn, and it is an ancient ritual that only the Son of Heaven can use.

Later, it gradually declined, and the gift of nine guests was also used by some powerful people, and it was the highest diplomatic etiquette for countries to receive foreign envoys.

Such a grand ceremony is still rare in civilian homes.

The Li family had never treated anyone with a nine-bin gift before.

Li Rulan proposed the gift of eight sedan chairs and nine guests, which was clearly deliberately embarrassing them.

Zhang Shi gritted his teeth angrily, but he was helpless.

She thought of what Li Shoude had told her before coming to see Li Rulan, asking her to invite Li Rulan back no matter what the price or the solution, otherwise she would be divorced.

But eight sedan chairs and nine guests are too much.

Such a grand ceremony is to elevate Li Rulan's identity, and at the same time to belittle their Li family.

The Li family is also a big family with a head and face in Qingzhou City, if this matter spreads and people know that their Li family uses such a high-standard etiquette to receive a woman who has been kicked out of the house by the Li family and corrupted her morality, then the Li family's face will be lost.

After thinking about it, she couldn't make a private decision on this matter, so she should go back and discuss it with Li Shoude first.

On the streets of Qingzhou City, the morning market has not yet passed, and all kinds of cries and sales are endless.

Xiao Niannian breathed in the cold air, and his mind became a little clearer.

Shen Zhengwen first went to find a money bank and exchanged the two pieces of gold in his hand for silver.

A tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and the two pieces of gold together amounted to a hundred taels, which they exchanged for a thousand taels of silver.

Shen Zhengwen only took one hundred taels of silver and put it on his body, and the rest of the silver was stored in the bank.

I have to say that it feels really good to be rich, they used to walk on the street and didn't dare to go to those ready-to-wear stores and jewelry stores.

Even if you buy sugar gourds, you are reluctant to buy more, and you can't wait to break it in half and spend it.

Now that they have the money, they can finally afford to buy what they want.

With one hundred taels of silver on his body, the first thing Shen Zhengwen did was to take Li Rulan to the jewelry store to buy jewelry for her.

He bought Li Rulan a jasper hairpin, a pair of phoenix butterfly gilt steps, and a glass bracelet and a pair of pearl earrings.

These jewels cost more than 30 taels of silver, which made Li Rulan feel distressed.

Shen Zhengwen was very happy, staring at Li Rulan wearing new jewelry, as if he couldn't see enough.

Tuanzi Yuanzi slapped his slap around Li Rulan, praising his mother's good looks, Xiao Niannian also laughed together, and the family was so happy.

Li Rulan was a little shy by Shen Zhengwen, she was about to turn her head, but Shen Zhengwen held her hand.

Shen Zhengwen's eyes shone brightly, and he said with some excitement: "Rulan, it's good to have money, especially for you, I'm really happy." In the future, I will make more money and buy you better jewelry, so that the ladies of Qingzhou City will envy you! ”

Li Rulan was moved when she heard this, and the hands of the two were clasped tightly.

Next, they went to the ready-to-wear store, Li Rulan thought the ready-to-wear clothes were expensive, and wanted to buy cloth to make her own clothes.

But Shen Zhengwen was reluctant to let her work so hard, so he bought a set of clothes for one person.

At noon, they went to Hongyun Restaurant, the best restaurant in Qingzhou City, to eat, and spent five taels of silver to order a table of good dishes.

After Shen Zhengwen ate this meal, his desire to open a restaurant became even stronger.

The dishes of Hongyun Restaurant are flashy, although the style is good-looking, but the taste is really unsatisfactory, sorry for the signboard of the first restaurant in Qingzhou City.

Thinking of his craft, Shen Zhengwen is full of confidence and full of expectations for the restaurant he is about to open.
