Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

Right now, it's still of some use.

only……

What exactly does the general mean by saying this?

Jiang Qingyue has always been honest and weak, so she would not lie to ask for a dowry. Otherwise, she would not have used her own dowry to fill the Marquis' Mansion.

If this is really what the general meant, then it is not as simple as a dowry list.

She had to collect all the items on the dowry list and return them to Jiang Qingyue.

When the marriage was arranged, the Jiang family knew they were in the wrong and were afraid of what others would say, so they did not skimp on the dowry and gave more instead.

Therefore, although Jiang Qingyue was a concubine's daughter, she was married with a grand wedding.

The Marquis' Mansion had been gradually declining since the generation of the old Marquis, and by the time of Xue Feimu, it was a spent force and only an empty shell remained.

In the past few years, the Marquis' Mansion has been in decline, and it has been able to maintain its dignity by relying on Jiang Qingyue's dowry. She has also made a lot of money under various pretexts.

But now, I'm afraid I'll have to spit it all out.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt upset and stared at Jiang Qingyue with an unfriendly look.

Jiang Qingyue pretended not to see it.

As soon as she got married into the mansion, the old lady handed over the household affairs to her. It seemed like she was delegating power, but in reality she was asking her to clean up the mess.

During these three years, she worked tirelessly, and the Marquis' Mansion began to improve under her management, but the old lady never asked for her dowry to be returned.

The old lady pretended to be confused, but she had to remember it.

First, she had to get her things back, and second, the dowry was worth a lot of money and she had other uses for it.

"Qingyue doesn't know, but that's what the general said. If the old lady has any doubts, why not ask the general?"

Jiang Qingyue's voice was so soft and weak, as if she would cry if she said one more word. Every time she mentioned the general, she could not hide the shame and humiliation in her tone.

The old lady was anxious and didn't dare to ask the most favored general of the emperor.

"Since he asked you for it, you should give it to him. All your dowry that you paid before should be supplemented from the public treasury.

"The Marquis' Mansion was in trouble in the past. I know that it was all thanks to you that it is what it is today. Now that the Marquis' Mansion is on the rise, I cannot treat you unfairly. The Marquis' Mansion has been grateful to you for all these years."

The old lady gritted her teeth and made a loving expression, and her words moved Jiang Qingyue so much that she burst into tears.

"Old Madam, you are too kind. Since Qingyue has married into the Marquis' Mansion, she is a member of the Marquis' Mansion and should always put the Marquis' Mansion first."

"Good boy, you have been wronged these days. Don't worry, I will never let Mu'er know what happened over there. When you two consummate your marriage, I will also cover it up for you. When Mu'er has a firm foothold in the court, you will be a great contributor to the Marquis' Mansion."

"With the old lady's words, Qingyue will not hesitate to die, and will definitely... speak well of her husband."

When the old lady heard this, she nodded with satisfaction.

If the general likes Jiang Qingyue, then it would be great if Jiang Qingyue could whisper in his ear and say some good things about Xue Feimu.

She took a deep breath, concealed the disgust in her eyes, stood up from the first seat, and walked in front of Jiang Qingyue, who hurriedly stood up.

The old lady grabbed her hand, put an emerald bracelet on her wrist, tried to look kind, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Good boy, you have been wronged. I have nothing else to say in return. You can keep this bracelet."

Jiang Qingyue looked flattered and tried to take it off, but was caught by the old lady.

"This is a small gift from me. Just keep it. It's just an object. Compared with what you have done for the Marquis' Mansion, it is really not worth mentioning."

Jiang Qingyue nodded with tears in her eyes, no longer delaying, and then lowered her head and just cried.

The old lady patted her on the back:

"You've worked hard. Go back and have a good rest. When Mu'er comes back in two days, everything will be fine."

Jiang Qingyue was touched by the gentle tone:

"Thank you, old lady. You don't need to rest. They said Qingyue must take care of this matter. I will go to the storehouse and check the dowry list."

The old lady's body stiffened, and although she was reluctant, she nodded in agreement.

Watching Jiang Qingyue leave, the old lady restrained her expression, and the originally loving look disappeared, replaced by disgust.

Nanny Li helped the old lady sit down.

"Madam, are you really going to ask the young lady to return the dowry?"

The old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip, then snorted coldly:

"Since they have spoken, they are very concerned about this matter. We should be more careful and not lose the big picture because of the small details."

Nanny Li asked again, "Logically speaking, the general wouldn't care about such a small matter. Could it be that the young lady... is unwilling to accept this and wants to use the general's hand to get the dowry into her own hands?"

The old lady paused after hearing this, but didn't take it seriously:

"Humph, she doesn't dare."

Jiang Qingyue had been in the Marquis' Mansion for three years, and she knew her quite well. To put it nicely, Jiang Qingyue was kind and naive, but to put it bluntly, she was stupid.

“She can’t do such a thing.

"but……

“If she really has such an idea and wants to go back…, give it to her.

"It's just a matter of keeping it in her name. In the future, if the Marquis' Mansion needs it, can she not take it out? Even if she doesn't want to take it out, it will belong to the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

"Yes, but, listening to what the young lady said just now, she didn't even let her drink the contraceptive soup, but the general wants the young lady to give birth to his child?"

The old lady's expression was serious.

I was wondering what impact this matter would have on the Marquis' Mansion if it was true.

After thinking for a while, he smiled.

"If she wants to have a baby, she can have one. She is the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion. When the time comes, we will replace the prince with a cat. The one raised in the Marquis' Mansion must be his offspring.

"If that's the case, it's easy to deal with. This bitch can take the opportunity to die in childbirth, and General, for the sake of the child, we can get more."

Thinking of this, the old lady's cloudy eyes lit up.

If the younger generation of our family can get the help of a general, the rise of the Marquisate will be just around the corner.

In this case, she hoped that Jiang Qingyue would get pregnant as soon as possible.

Jiang Qingyue took off the bracelet when she left Cisongyuan: "Put it away and put it away when we get back."

"Yes."

Lu Huan hurriedly took it and wrapped it with a handkerchief.

This bracelet is not of good quality. Lu Huan wiped away her tears silently, not daring to say anything more.

Jiang Qingyue did not return to her own yard, but went directly to the warehouse.

Xue Feimu will be back soon, so she has to hurry up and get this done.

Otherwise, with the words of filial piety coming later, even though she is right, it will still be troublesome.

Jiang Qingyue had already planned for this matter and was familiar with the warehouse, so she got things done in less than an hour.

Some of the things that were not completed were filled with silver, so there was neither too much nor too little, and no one could find any fault with them.

When they returned to the yard, the maid Bai Wei saw them and came to greet them from afar.

Like Bai Wei and Lu Huan, Jiang Qingyue brought them out from the Jiang family.

"Madam is back."

"these are……"

Bai Wei was surprised when she saw the boxes of things being carried in by the maids behind Jiang Qingyue.

Just as he was about to ask, he looked up and saw the scrutiny in Jiang Qingyue's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head.

She didn't know what was going on these past few days, but she always felt that the way the lady looked at her was a little different from before, which made her feel uneasy.

"Madam." She called out nervously.
