Fu Guiyun was extremely relieved to have successfully regained his mother's inheritance.

Having dealt with her stepmother for so many years, she knew her stepmother's temper well.

He no longer expected her to be sincere to him. As long as he maintained the appearance of "loving mother and filial daughter" and didn't let outsiders laugh at him, it would be the greatest kindness.

After a peaceful night's rest, the mansion was already bustling early the next morning.

Cuiluo came in with some hot water and said that many relatives and officials' wives had come to the house to congratulate her and were waiting in Pu's yard, urging her to wash and change her clothes.

Fu Guiyun didn't dare to delay and just packed up quickly when he saw Qinglu rushing in.

"Miss, Miss, something bad has happened. Uncle Zeng and his wife came to the mansion to deliver dowry, but they stopped the second young lady in the middle courtyard and refused to let her in."

Qinglu reported while sweating.

Upon hearing that his uncle and aunt had come into the house, Fu Guiyun's thoughts were tangled for a moment, and his calm heart could not stop churning, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

In her previous life, she owed her uncle and aunt's family so much.

My uncle Zeng Ye was just an orphan adopted by my mother and her maternal grandparents when she was young, but he treated me even closer than his own son.

After his mother passed away, he was worried that his stepmother would treat him badly, so every year he would save some gold and silver jewelry and divide them into two parts to send to the Fu family. Even for this dowry, he prepared two parts as usual and did not dare to show favoritism.

When Song Weizhao sneaked back to his homeland and witnessed the entire Earl's family being executed, he wanted to commit suicide. It was his uncle who persuaded him to cheer up and helped him escape from the border of Dakang.

Unexpectedly, Pu found out about this and she instigated her father to expose her uncle, which resulted in the massacre of her uncle, aunt and their families. Even her cousin, whom she had saved with great difficulty, died in the subsequent court struggle.

Although I avenged them, I couldn't bring back the lives of my entire family.

In this life, she only hopes that her uncle and his family can live in peace and happiness.

Gathering his thoughts, Fu Guiyun suppressed his already underdeveloped tear glands and asked calmly, "Why did the Second Miss stop us?"

"The second young lady said she wanted to exchange the dowry that her aunt prepared for her."

Qinglu's eyes were filled with anger.

"That makes no sense."

Cuiluo was so angry that she cursed: "Giving is a favor, not giving is a duty, there is no reason to snatch someone's things in this world."

Upon learning that it was because of this incident, Fu Guiyun did not rush out.

After a brief moment of thought, she roughly guessed the reason and sat down patiently.

The two girls were puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Girls, if we don't go out, will we just watch our uncle and aunt being bullied?"

"If we leave now, our uncle and aunt will be bullied in vain."

Fu Guiyun hated this kind of ungrateful person the most in his life, and he didn't want his uncle and aunt to compromise for him anymore.

Taking a sip of tea slowly, she first asked, "Where is father now?"

Qinglu immediately replied, "I heard that when Prince Liyang learned that the girl was going to marry into the palace, he went to the palace overnight. This morning, the palace issued an order that His Majesty would grant marriages to the three families."

At this point, the little girl showed some joy on her face: "Not only that, the master was not affected by the turmoil in the court. He was promoted to the Minister of Rites. He was ordered to enter the palace to express his gratitude before dawn. I guess it's time for him to return home."

"That's really a double blessing."

Although it was expected, Fu Guiyun couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard that Prince Liyang had rushed into the palace last night.

You know, in the previous life, when Fu Yuanshu and the palace finalized the marriage, it took the old prince several days to enter the palace to meet the emperor and protect the Fu family.

"Take out my most precious pieces of jewelry."

Fu Guiyun continued to sip his tea and gave instructions with a contented look on his face.

Cui Luo was confused again: "Girl, why are you still thinking about organizing your jewelry at this moment?"

"Miss, you don't want to give those pieces of jewelry to the second young lady, do you?"

Qinglu guessed something and felt very sad: "You usually don't even want to wear those pieces of jewelry."

"Don't worry, nothing is missing."

Fu Guiyun couldn't say it clearly, so he urged again: "Go quickly."

Seeing this, the two maids had no choice but to follow the order.

After Cuiluo and Qinglu came out with the jewelry box, Fu Guiyun put down his teacup and slowly stood up.

The master and his two servants walked towards the central courtyard together.

As soon as we arrived in Langfang, we heard the sound of a quarrel.

"Second Miss is from a scholarly family after all, how can she be so rude?"

"Uncle, you are being too kind. I just said it casually. If aunt doesn't want to ignore it, just ignore it."

He stopped and listened for a few words, then heard rustling footsteps coming from all directions. Fu Guiyun quickened his pace and rushed towards the source of the sound.

After walking a few steps, he bumped into Pu.

"This useless girl."

Pu didn't have time to pay attention to her. She cursed herself and rushed forward with Nanny Tu.

Fu Guiyun followed closely behind and arrived at the middle courtyard, where he saw Fu Yuanshu with his hands on his waist, saying proudly:

"If it weren't for my mother, my eldest sister wouldn't have had the blessing of such a distinguished marriage. Uncle is not grateful and is even coaxing me like a three-year-old child, saying that he loves me the same as my eldest sister. Since you don't have a fair heart, why do you say one thing and mean another."

Every time this couple came, they would secretly give my eldest sister more silver and jewelry behind my back to please my parents and make me bear the reputation of being the one who benefited from them.

Take the dowry purchased this time, for example. She had noticed something unusual in her previous life. The box sent to her eldest sister's courtyard was obviously much heavier, but Qi insisted that it was impartial to both sides.

The more Fu Yuanshu thought about it, the angrier she became, and she began to vent her dissatisfaction in a more arrogant manner.

"My father is a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, and will soon be promoted to vice minister. How could he be short of your little dowry? Even if you beg me to accept it today, I won't accept it."

"Without your eldest sister and biological mother working so hard, your father would be nothing."

Zeng Ye was already jealous of Fu Ping for leaving his family without a family, and for breaking his vow to remarry and take a concubine. He was now angered by this little evildoer in his family, and felt even more aggrieved.

Suddenly, she saw Pu rushing over here, so she deliberately raised her voice: "I would like to ask, the Liyang Palace is so noble, why did the second young lady try so hard to push it to your eldest sister?"

"I..." Fu Yuanshu choked and suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

Such confidential matters naturally cannot be told to outsiders.

"Her uncle and aunt, the child is ignorant. I apologize to you two on her behalf. Please don't take it to heart."

Pu hurried forward and looked at the dowry boxes placed all around, her eyes lighting up.

Now the master has given all the dowry prepared by the clan and the inheritance left by Zeng to his stepdaughter. If the dowry from the Zeng family is missing, even if I spend all my family property, I will not be able to make up the difference.

She glared at her daughter in dissatisfaction, then quickly turned to a smiling face and said, "Guiyun, your uncle and aunt have been exhausted from the long journey. Go and accompany them to rest."

They wanted to let the matter rest peacefully, but when Fu Ping came back from court he heard the quarrel.

"stop."

Fu Ping walked over quickly with a dark look on his face.
