When the prince has the ability to read minds, he switches to the princess

When Xi Rou came back, Xi Min did not dare to hide it, but told her about Dingyuan Hou's visit today.

"Grandpa, you did a good job."

Xi Ming was a little confused.

"If by any chance he really recovers your dowry, will you really marry him?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I can't marry Chen Shizi."

The next day at court, Dingyuan Hou and Ouyang Yushi sued Fang Sheng for taking away his deceased wife's dowry and driving away his legitimate daughter.

In addition, the Marquis of Dingyuan brought up the old story again. Fang Sheng had purchased grain at a crazy price. Not only that, he also made usury at the expense of the people.

Fang Sheng quibbled that it was not the case.

The emperor then ordered the ninth prince to investigate.

The Ninth Prince slowly went to the West Mansion to investigate, but after entering the door, he did not go in. Instead, he waited outside.

If you don't understand, you may ask: "Your Highness, why don't we go in?"

"Let's wait."

What are you waiting for?

Soon, not far away, Fang Sheng hurried over.

It was still Xi Ming who received Fang Sheng.

General Fang Sheng handed over a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and then said: "Yuzhu's things were originally reserved for Xi Rou. Father-in-law, there is no need for us to make such a fuss?"

Xing Shun took the banknotes and counted them in front of Fang Sheng.

"Old man, one hundred thousand silver notes are still short of two hundred thousand taels."

"Father-in-law, Xi Rou is not married yet."

"Well, then you go back."

Fang Sheng couldn't go back alone.

"Where's Xi Rou? Let her go back with me."

"Fang Sheng, although I don't want to admit it, your daughter is very similar to you in temperament. You don't come here to ask me, just talk about you. With this little money, will you go back with me?"

"Father-in-law, if she gets married in the future, she will still rely on her natal family."

"Fang Sheng, Fang Sheng, it's been now, and you're still deceiving yourself. Growing up, have you ever let her rely on you? You didn't. It was you who taught her bit by bit that things are best only when you hold them in your own hands. confident."

"..." Fang Sheng suddenly felt very powerless, "These days, I have been saving up a dowry for her, and this is my limit. Father-in-law, your child is not sensible, and you have to understand. If I fall, I will not be with her." What’s the benefit?”

Xi Min knocked on the table, and Xing Shun immediately presented the things.

"Here is an IOU for 200,000 yuan. Please sign and pledge it."

He had already made preparations and was waiting for him.

"See it clearly for yourself. If you don't pay within ten days, I will use the shop and farm property in your name as collateral for me."

Now that the money was urgent, Fang Sheng had to sign and pledge it.

"Is that all right?"

"Okay." Xi Ming asked someone to ask Xirou to come out. Soon, Xi Rou came out.

Xi Min handed her the bank note and said, "Your father gave it to you here. I'll give you the bank note. I'll keep the IOU first. You can go back with your father now."

"Are you compromising now?"

"The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a good marriage. If he can do this for you, he values ​​you very much. Go back and be married."

"Oh."

In addition, Xi Ming also sent ten new maids to her to follow her back to Fang's house.

Xi Rou went out and saw the Ninth Prince waving at her not far away. Xi Rou didn't know whether to step forward when she saw Fang Sheng stepping forward.

"I have met His Highness Ninth Prince."

"Master Fang, what are you doing here?"

"His Majesty Ninth Prince clearly knows that Dingyuan Marquis has slandered me. I have a very good relationship with my daughter, and I have not been greedy for Mo's wife's dowry money."

Zhu Gaoyong raised his head and looked at Fang Xirou.

"Miss Fang is looking good lately. This Xijia fruit is really nourishing."

When Fang Xirou saw her mentioning herself, she stepped forward to say hello.

"I have met His Highness Ninth Prince."

"Your Highness, I have seen Miss Fang's headdress before. It must be a treasure from the Zhenbao Pavilion. It is said that it is never sold to the outside world."

"Your Highness Ninth, my grandfather paid ten times the price for this."

Zhu Gaoyong smiled.

"Mr. Xi really loves you."

Zhu Gaoyong didn't ask her anything and went back directly, leaving Fang Sheng confused.

On the way, Fang Sheng boldly picked up his daughter, which also told everyone that he had a very good relationship with his daughter.

When he returned home, he was still very gentle.

"Xirou, you go back to your yard first. Dad ordered people to renovate the place where you are."

"Yes."

As soon as Xirou left, the gentleness on Fang Sheng's face completely changed, becoming gloomy and fierce.

Xi Rou returned to her small courtyard, and it was indeed renovated as he said.

The yard is full of flowers, plants, red tiles and blue bricks.

Xiao Tao slightly said in surprise: "Girl, look at this water tank, there are even fishes in it."

Xirou stepped forward and indeed saw several goldfish swimming in the water tank in the yard.

Then she led people into the house, which was rearranged with clever and cute decorations.

Xirou went in and ordered: "Xiao Tao, take them to the yard and look around, and find them a place to live."

Of the ten people given by her grandfather, half were female guards, two knew medicine, and three took care of her daily life.

Just after Xi Rou settled down, Lei Shi came.

The first time Lei Shi saw Xirou, she was a little afraid to recognize her.

Wearing a light purple dress, the hem is embroidered with realistic golden lotus flowers, which are swaying.

Turning slightly sideways, her fair skin and jade hairpin swayed, making her fair face even more translucent.

"Xirou?"

"Mother."

Xirou raised her head slightly, her ink-like pupils and light smile were like floating clouds in the sky, uncontaminated by dust, like a fairy in the sky, with a temperament like orchid.

It was really her. When she went to her home, she turned out to be... No, she was very beautiful before, but she was not good at dressing up.

Now that she is dressed up carefully, she is so beautiful.

Lei Shi concealed the jealousy in her heart and stepped forward enthusiastically:

"Xirou, look, there is still something missing. If it is missing, tell mother and she will prepare it for you."

"Sorry for bothering you, mother."

"No trouble, no trouble, Xirou, you too, Gou... has this friendship with Marquis Dingyuan, but he didn't say anything to us."

Xirou replied: "Mom is joking. If I had friendship with Marquis Dingyuan, I would have become his wife long ago."

Mrs. Hou?

"Xirou, this concubine is not bad." Lei Shi thought for a while, "Not long ago, your cousin came to me and told me that he wanted to marry you. My mother thought that you could develop a relationship with him at your maternal grandfather's house. .”

"My cousin didn't say it. Did my mother hear it wrong?"

"Did you hear wrong? Yes, this Marquis Mansion is indeed better than the merchants." Chen Shizi is different from Wen Chengxiu, and Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is even more different from Yongchang Marquis Mansion. Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a meritorious family, Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a distinguished family. Hou is the one who holds military power.

"Xi Rou is really lucky."

Lei didn't stay long and left. When she returned to her yard, Lei couldn't help but lost her temper.

Fang Shurou was also at home today. When she saw her mother like this, she couldn't help but said: "Mom, what about the Marquis' Mansion? When I marry into the royal family, she will also bend down and salute with me."

Lei Shi felt better after hearing this. Today, Fang Sheng came to ask her for a banknote. It was out of this consideration that she gave him the banknote.

"Have you met the Ninth Prince recently?"

"..."

Fang Shurou can't see the Ninth Prince recently because he is busy.

"Mother, my father is suspended from duty now. How can I marry into the royal family?"

One sentence left Lei Shi speechless.

"Shu Rou, don't worry, your father will be fine."

"Better so."
