In order not to destroy his reputation, in the end, Lord Xi still ordered Mrs. Shangshu to return the dowry belonging to Xi Qingyan's mother according to the dowry list given by Xi Qingyan.

"Miss, you're really amazing!"

"But, miss, where should we put our dowry now in such a yard?"

"Madame and Second Miss have taken away all the clothes and jewelry on their bodies this time!"

"If we put this dowry on hold in the Hanlian Courtyard, the lady and the second lady, who have no money, will definitely send someone to come to the Hanlian Garden to snatch the dowry."

Chun Tao admired what their young lady did.

It's just that the husband is not guilty, and Chun Tao also understands the truth of his guilt.

"Don't worry, Chun Tao, as long as Madame returns my mother's dowry, I will naturally have a place to put these things, they took my mother's dowry from me when I was young, but now that I am an adult, I will keep these dowries for my mother no matter what!"

Xi Qingyan said confidently.

Although her mother's dowry was very rich, it was nothing compared to the revenue from the Divine Medicine Pavilion to buy medicines.

Xi Qingyan was ready to put all these things in one place with the revenue of the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

"Miss, as long as you have an idea, Chun Tao won't be worried at all!"

Chun Tao saw that Xi Qingyan had made arrangements, so she didn't worry about the matter for her master.

The master and servant here in Hanlian Garden are harmonious, but the other peony courtyard is full of chickens and dogs.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Chuyu had just solved Xi Qingyan's dowry roster, and in a blink of an eye, he found that his mother had fallen directly when she got up!

For a long time, her mother has been Xi Chuyu's backbone.

Now, when she saw that her mother was actually sick by Xi Qingyan, she felt a little more resentment towards Xi Qingyan's disfigured ugly monster!

"Mother, I'll call someone to ask my mother for a doctor! Mother, hold on!"

Xi Chuyu was worried that his mother would be angry with Xi Qingyan, so he hurriedly wanted to go out and ask for a doctor.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shangshu, who was sick, grabbed Xi Chuyu.

"Don't ...... Don't go ......."

"Now that our mother and daughter are so embarrassed, if you let people outside know that your mother and I were angry and fell ill because of the dowry of our biological mother, then I, Mrs. Shangshu, will be embarrassed and thrown home!"

Mrs. Shangshu operated in the capital for several years before she suppressed the reputation left by Xi Qingyan's biological mother.

Now, the old story is revisited.

When the time comes, she will definitely be teased by the celebrities and ladies of all over Kyoto!

"But...... But mother, you have already fallen ill with anger, if this illness is good, what will you do if you let your daughter be in this Shangshu Mansion?"

Of course, Xi Chuyu knew Mrs. Shangshu's concerns.

But this matter is no longer something that can be ignored directly.

"Mother, those messy people in Kyoto, noble lady, we don't have to get along with them, but Mother, how can you not see a doctor and take medicine when you are sick?"

"Daughter, go to the doctor, mother, don't worry, I won't let you suffer from illness!"

Xi Chuyu didn't care about it, got up from the bedside of Mrs. Shangshu and was about to go to the doctor.

"Bastard!"

"Don't you listen to your mother's words now?"

"The face that I have worked so hard to maintain over the years is of course more important than my body!"

"Xi Chuyu, if you dare to take a step out of the house today, I will ask someone to break your legs!"

Mrs. Shangshu supported her sick body and grabbed Xi Chuyu.

"Mother!!"

"I'm just dizzy from being angry, so it's okay! if

You really went out looking for a doctor, and then you really took my life!"

Mrs. Shangshu said this, where did Xi Chuyu dare to go out casually?

For now, she can only honestly guard the bedside of Mrs. Shangshu.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shangshu did not have any other symptoms except for dizziness.

Xi Chuyu's heart gradually became less afraid.

Because Mrs. Shangshu fell ill, Xi Chuyu asked the housekeeper to hand over all the big and small matters up and down the Shangshu Mansion to her in order to prevent her from slandering her mother's reputation.

On the first day, Xi Chuyu handled it well.

Mrs. Shangshu, who woke up from her illness, saw the affairs handled by Xi Chuyu, but she was impressed with her daughter.

"My son, I used to think that you would only be coquettish in front of my mother and please me, but I didn't expect you to have some skills in managing this housekeeper's finances!"

Mrs. Shangshu's praise made the vanity in Xi Chuyu's heart soar.

She has been suppressed by Xi Qingyan these days, and now she can finally grow her face in front of her mother once, how can Xi Chuyu be unhappy?

"Mother, I have always been by your side since I was a child, and I have watched you teach the people in the courtyard, and I have watched you deal with the ladies in Kyoto."

"Although my daughter is ostensibly coquettish with your mother, in fact, I am quietly observing your mother's every move!"

For Xi Chuyu, her mother is the person she admires the most.

Her mother was able to become the lady of the Ministry of Rites from so many Kyoto women, which required a good means.

Her mother was the most powerful woman she had ever met.

So since she was a child, Xi Chuyu has been imitating her mother's every move.

"Sure enough, it's my daughter!"

Xi Chuyu's words made Mrs. Shangshu feel particularly comforted.

These days, they have lost one after another in front of Xi Qingyan, although she has been holding on and pretending, but in fact, the dowry roster has emptied all the savings of Mrs. Shangshu.

She was still worried about the future, but now she sees hope in her daughter Xi Chuyu.

The good reputation accumulated by the first lady of Shangshu Mansion made her remarried wife suffer a lot.

But no matter how tough Mrs. Xian is, and then she is talked about, she is now just a handful of loess in the ground!

As for the daughter Xi Qingyan left by Mrs. Xian, her face was enough to scare off all the men who came to the door to ask for marriage!

"Chu Yu, okay, my good daughter, all the hopes of the rest of my life are pinned on you."

"Not only are you beautiful now, but you can also manage the affairs of your family, and only a woman like you is the most needed help for those royal children!"

"Chu Yu, whether our mother and son can soar into the sky will depend on you in the future!"

"According to my mother, you don't have to keep your eyes on King Li, King Li has been marching and fighting outside, he has long forgotten that he is still a prince, a man who fights on the battlefield all day long, and he can't express too much tenderness to his gentle and lovely daughter's family."

"My daughter is so good, so gentle and considerate, but King Li can't see it, which means that he will not be a good husband in the future."

Mrs. Shangshu saw that her daughter had a soft spot for King Li Shulixiao, but she was a person who had come over, and whether Su Lixiao had a heart for her daughter Xi Chuyu or not, Mrs. Shangshu was clear.

"A few days ago, the mother concubine entered the palace with you to treat Dong Guifei, Chu Yu, what do you think of His Royal Highness Dong Guifei's son?"

"Mother can tell you that this son of Concubine Dong is the most valued prince in the emperor's heart, if you become his wife, you can not only be a princess when the time comes, but when His Royal Highness Su Yiting becomes the prince, you can also become the crown princess, if he finally becomes the king of a country, then you are the queen!"

Mrs. Shangshu said to her daughter Xi Chuyu.

「

Mother knows that what you want to do most from childhood to adulthood is to become a woman that everyone admires, and our mother and daughter have the same wish, but it is a pity that my mother can only become Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in this life, and you Xi Chuyu, my most proud daughter, your future is infinitely bright!"

Mrs. Shangshu's words made Xi Chuyu eager to try.

There were ripples in my heart.

The kind of desire she has always had for Li Wang Shuxiao all came from the idea that she didn't want to lose to Xi Qingyan!

Why can Xi Qingyan, that ugly monster, have a child with the god-like Li Wang?

What is it about her Xi Chuyu that she can't compare to Xi Qingyan, so that Wang Li looks down on her everywhere?

These thoughts have already turned into obsessions in Xi Chuyu's heart.

"His Royal Highness Su Yiting is even better than His Royal Highness King Li, Chu Yu, if you tie the knot with His Royal Highness King Su Yiting, then King Li will need to treat you squarely when he sees you!"

Mrs. Shangshu encouraged her daughter Xi Chuyu at the right time.

These words made Xi Chuyu unable to find the North ...... at all

What she desires most is to let the extremely good-looking man who is so beautiful that she can treat her squarely!

"Mother, what should I do? Can you teach me?"

Xi Chuyu was completely moved by what his mother, Mrs. Shangshu, said.

"This matter is not urgent, Chu Yu, you just need to walk step by step as your mother said, don't worry, your mother will definitely not harm you."

Mrs. Shangshu succeeded in convincing her daughter to change her mind.

"The last palace banquet was originally to choose a princess for His Royal Highness Su Yiting, but we were calculated at that palace banquet and lost a big ugly."

"Fortunately, God has eyes, and Concubine Dong Guifei suddenly became unhappy, so the palace banquet ended hastily, and the matter of His Royal Highness Yiting's selection of concubines was put on hold."

"Now, His Royal Highness Su Yiting has also left the mansion to build a palace, and the matter of choosing a princess is imminent, and our Shangshu Mansion has just done Concubine Dong a great favor recently, so Chu Yu, you have already left a good impression in the heart of the noble lady!"

"As long as the next palace banquet comes, Concubine Dong Guifei once again has the idea of choosing a concubine for His Royal Highness Su Yiting, then the good days of our mother and daughter will come......

She has carefully raised Xi Chuyu's daughter for so many years, just to be able to make her daughter fly on the branches and become a phoenix!

Mrs. Shangshu thought that her good days would come soon, but how could things be as good as she wanted?

"Eldest Miss, the slave maid inquired, Mrs. Shangshu is now handing over the affairs of the family to the second lady, obviously you are the eldest lady of our family, if it is the turn of the eldest lady, your housekeeper is the ......

Mrs. Shangshu was recuperating in the hospital, and Xi Chuyu directly took over the affairs of Shangshu Mansion.

It didn't take long for this matter to reach Chun Tao's ears.

"Don't worry, Chun Tao, do you think housekeeping is a good thing? The steward needs money."

"Don't talk about it far away, she is in a dilemma when things are close to her."

Xi Qingyan did not panic at all, and said unhurriedly.

Soon after autumn, the begging festival arrives.

The ladies of Kyoto gathered together with their children and daughters, and such an occasion was already a comparison, but now Mrs. Shangshu Xi Chuyu and they are poor, where can they stand in front of everyone decently?
