Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

After he went out, Liu Yurou asked, "What's the problem?"

Du Juan whispered: "Miss, this one hundred taels of silver is not a small amount of money. And it doesn't cost fifty taels of silver to build a brick house in the village, it's just thirty taels. Besides, my uncle said he owes five taels." Ten taels... Forgive me, my servant, but it doesn't look like something you can do with fifty taels of silver."

Liu Yurou's face was filled with anger.

She has money, but that doesn't mean she can't be deceived.

The nanny also advised: "Miss, now you are married, and just two days after you got married, your husband's family is eyeing the dowry. First, he wanted to look for it on his own, but now he said he wanted money to build a house and pay off the debt! This situation will last forever, and no amount of money can survive it."

"Miss, why don't you just ask to see the loan deed..."

Before he finished speaking, a scream of "ouch" was heard, and a thin but agile body rushed in.

Without warning, Du Juan was knocked down by the figure, and then her hair was grabbed.

"I asked you, a cheap girl, to sow discord in front of the master. You are shameless! Our Chen family has room for you to speak? Are you just sowing trouble?"

While scolding, Wu took action.

Although Du Juan has a lot of skills, she is the lady's mother-in-law after all, and she is not easy to use force. Her hair was pulled tightly, and tears came out.

Xiaoyan and Nanny were anxious and stepped forward to pry Wu's hand away, but she still held on tightly and refused to let go.

After finally letting go, Wu even pulled off a handful of Du Juan's hair!

Liu Yurou was so angry that she was dizzy: "What are you doing? You came to my house and heard someone coming from the corner? How dare you hit my people directly!"

Mrs. Wu was also very aggrieved: "Daughter-in-law, you are my daughter-in-law. If you have a girl like this who is sowing discord and applying eye drops, just do as I say and send her away. It is too tiring for your mother-in-law and me to do it ourselves." !”

Du Juan held back her tears and looked at Liu Yurou, hoping that her young lady would come forward.

Chen Xingxue heard the noise, and his family crowded over.

"Yu Rou, according to me, keeping a girl like this around her will really disturb the family. Why don't you send her away?" Chen Xingxue also helped his mother.

"Yes, sister-in-law, what's the use of keeping a maid like this who is better dressed than me and loves to gossip in front of you?"

Chen Xinglian didn't dare to be jealous of Liu Yurou, but she was very unhappy about the fact that the two girls around her sister-in-law were dressed better than her.

"You all get out of here and don't come to my room. Are there any rules?"

Liu Yurou was angry, who are these people?

Mrs. Wu looked surprised: "We are a family, why can't I come to this room?"

Chen Xingxue asked them all to go out and coaxed Liu Yurou a few words.

He went out soon after, and came back with an IOU.

Sure enough, I borrowed fifty taels of silver.

This time, Liu Yurou was no longer so angry. Instead, she felt that Du Juan and Grandma were a little troubled.

She readily handed him two fifty-tael silver notes: "I've given you the money. Please settle all these matters. Let's go back to the county tomorrow."

Chen Xingxue suppressed the joy in his heart, but his face was still quite calm. He took the banknote and said guiltily: "Madam, it's all because of my husband that I have burdened you."

It made Liu Yurou laugh again: "We are husband and wife, there is nothing that can drag us down. As long as life goes smoothly in the future, everything will be worth it."

Wu didn't expect that one hundred taels of silver would be so easy to obtain. She took the two silver notes and kissed them on the left and right before carefully putting them into her arms.

Boss Chen and Chen Xinglian were naturally happy.

Chen Xinglian coquettishly said: "Mom, hurry up and buy me some materials to make two new clothes."

"What new clothes are you cutting? These are going to be used to build a house." Boss Chen was a little dissatisfied.

Chen Xinglian pouted: "Dad, don't think I don't know. Thirty taels of silver is enough to build a big brick house. Besides, that IOU..."

The IOU was obviously written by the eldest brother himself at that time!

In fact, to marry my sister-in-law, I only borrowed a total of twenty taels of silver. In just one day's work, I earned more money than in the past ten years!

Boss Chen's face sank: "What are you talking about here? A little girl doesn't even listen to what I say."

Seeing that her daughter was aggrieved, Mrs. Wu quickly reassured her, "What's the rush? Your sister-in-law has a lot of silks and satins. If you try to please her more, she will definitely give it to you."

Chen Xinglian was a little reluctant.

She had tried to please him in the past two days, but to no avail.

Besides, she herself didn't want to bow her head in front of her sister-in-law. Shouldn't my sister-in-law come to please me?

Su Mulan was like this before, giving in to herself everywhere...

Of course, she became a completely different person later on, so let’s not mention it.

And Su Mulan, who Chen Xinglian didn't even want to mention, got two pieces of news that surprised and delighted her.

Xie Chengan had just left for a few days and unexpectedly came to Qingsong County again.

"Mulan, Xiaobai has passed the imperial examination and can be called a Tongsheng from now on. Are you happy?" Xie Chengan looked at the beauty in front of him and smiled.

"The results are released so soon? But is it worth it for you to go there in person?" Su Mulan was naturally overjoyed to hear that her younger brother had passed the government examination, but Xie Chengan in front of her made her doubtful.

"Others can't know in advance, but I can't? But I do have something else to discuss with you this time." Xie Chengan said with a smile on his face.

"Indeed, you are the eldest son of Zhizhou Mansion! Is there any news about your appointment?" Su Mulan secretly laughed at her confusion and saw the uneasiness in his expression.

"That's true. Although the Ministry of Justice has not yet come down, Minister Ning has sent someone to deliver the news, and has decided to appoint me as the magistrate of Anlan County." Xie Chengan said bitterly.

"Anlan County, where is this?" Seeing his bad expression, Su Mulan guessed that it must be a small and remote county.

"Remember the place where we encountered robbers last time? That's Anlan County!" Xie Chengan explained.

"No, is Anlan County in this province? Xie Zhizhou also serves in this province, doesn't he need to avoid it?" Su Mulan asked in surprise.

Although Su Mulan doesn't know much about officialdom, she also knows that there is a strict avoidance system for officials to hold office. Among them are avoidance by place of origin, avoidance by relatives, avoidance by position, avoidance by teachers and students, etc.

That is to say, officials cannot serve in their own province, nor can they serve in the same province with relatives, teachers, and other close relatives. This is to prevent local forces from colluding and becoming powerful.

"Mulan, you don't know. Although Anlan County is not far from the capital, it is not part of this province. How could that Minister Ning make such a big mistake?" Xie Chengan shook his head.

"Is it possible that Anlan County is relatively poor? This place is not remote. Minister An wouldn't be so kind, would he?" Su Mulan asked curiously.

"No, Anlan County has a household registration of 72 miles, which is a big county!" Xie Chengan said with a bitter smile.
