Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

"What dowry?" Xu Panyue looked at her blankly, with a hint of hatred in her eyes.

Under the wide sleeves, his hands were clenched into fists, his long, sharp nails dug deeply into the flesh of his fingers, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

"Sister, weren't all your dowry carried into the East Courtyard with you?"

"Yes, yes!" Han nodded repeatedly, "We won't covet your dowry."

Xu Zhimiao blinked, revealing a look that was even more bewildered, innocent, and aggrieved than Xu Panyue's. "But, sister, you are not the Crown Prince's Consort now! You are the eldest daughter-in-law of the second house!"

"Shouldn't you return the dowry that the Xu family prepared for the Crown Prince's Consort to me?"

"That's my dowry!" Xu Panyue's voice couldn't help but become a little sharp.

"No, that's the Crown Prince's wife's dowry!" Xu Zhimiao said seriously, "But it doesn't matter. If my sister wants it, I'll give it to you."

[I will ask Xu Chongshan and Ruan Lizi to give me another one when I return tomorrow! Am I so easy to bully? Can I let you guys take all the benefits? ]

"Where are Mingyue and Mingxin?" Xu Panyue didn't want to continue this topic with her and asked her two maids.

"Oh, the prince was furious last night and accidentally got beaten too hard. The two men couldn't bear it and went to complain to the King of Hell." Xu Zhimiao said nonchalantly.

Xu Panyue felt as if her breath was stuck in her throat and almost choked her to death.

"Young Master, Young Madam. Crown Prince, Crown Princess, it's time to serve tea." Mother Rong, who was beside the old lady, said with a smile.

Then a servant quickly brought tea for the new bride and handed it to the two of them.

Serve tea.

Xu Zhimiao received three big red envelopes for changing his name.

I don’t know how much bigger it is than Xu Panyue’s.

Well, what the old lady gave to her two granddaughters-in-law was the same.

However, what Dingyuan Hou and his wife gave was much more than what Murjin and his wife gave.

Xu Panyue looked at the red seal in Xu Zhimiao's hand and felt dizzy with anger again.

He returned to his yard unwillingly.

Xu Zhimiao naturally took his red envelope and returned to his yard in a happy mood.

As for Marquis Dingyuan and his wife and Mu Shaochen, they were called by the old lady to her inner room.

"Boss, Qiqing, and Shaochen. We are the only ones in this room now. Let's talk about what you think about today's events." The old lady glanced at them with a solemn expression.

Dingyuan Marquis Mu Changlin frowned and looked at Mu Shaochen, "You speak."

"Mother, have you also heard Zhimiao's voice?" It was Madam Hou Xi who spoke first.

After that, the others fell silent.

"Last night, as soon as I lifted her veil, I found that I could hear her inner voice," said Mu Shaochen.

Xi turned to look at Mu Changlin, "What about you?"

Mu Changlin nodded, "Yes, I can hear it."

"I observed that other people couldn't hear it. In other words, only the four of us could hear it. This... is really unbelievable!" There was obvious astonishment on the old lady's face.

"Grandma, this is actually a good thing." Mu Shaochen said, "Right now, we should figure out why everyone in our eldest family died a year later."

"Also, are Second Uncle and his second branch really eyeing Father's Marquisate?"

"Did the Second Branch contact outsiders to kill our First Branch?"

When he said this, a hint of cruelty flashed in Mu Shaochen's eyes.

After all, over the years, my second uncle's family has never shown anything unusual.

He and his cousin Mu Yiwen are very friendly and respectful to each other, and his second aunt and mother are even closer sisters-in-law.

Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is a place of harmony and warmth. Who wouldn't envy Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?

But who could have thought that the second branch was actually coveting the title of Marquis!

"I really can't figure it out!" The old lady also looked confused.

Both of her sons were her own, and she always treated them equally, without showing favoritism.

As for the eldest son's marquisate, half of it was inherited, and the other half was obtained through his own military merits.

Why did my second son develop...disloyal thoughts?

"We will slowly investigate whether Erjin has any ulterior motives." The old lady said sternly, "The most important thing right now is to stabilize Zhimiao. Shaochen, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, yes!" Xi nodded repeatedly, "You have to find a way to get more information from her. That way, we can make better preparations. I don't want to report to the King of Hell in a year."

"Okay, stop hanging around me. Go back and accompany Zhimiao. You have to take care of your own wife!" The old lady started to drive people away.

Mu Shaochen: “……!?”

So that pushed him away?

"Go!" Xi pushed him out the door. "Also, listen carefully! In our family, there is no such thing as divorcing a wife and marrying another, nor is there any such thing as taking a concubine or a mistress! If you dare to have such thoughts, I will punish you!"

"Your mother is right!" Mu Changlin nodded in agreement with his wife.

Mu Shaochen sighed softly, "Got it."

……

Saiin

Mu Yiwenling looked at Xu Panyue with an obviously displeased expression.

Of course, the expressions of Murjin and the Han couple were not much better.

"You have made me lose face!" Han glared at Xu Panyue. "You said everything was arranged properly and that today we could make the eldest wife lose face! Now, we are the ones who are embarrassed!"

"Xu Panyue, how on earth do you do things!"

"Mother, I don't know either." Xu Panyue looked bewildered. "When Xu Zhimiao was in the Xu family, she was not like this. She was timid, submissive, hesitant, and had no opinion of her own."

"Look at her performance today, does she look like the Xu Zhimiao you mentioned?" Han snorted coldly.

"I don't know why it's different from when I was at home." Xu Panyue couldn't figure it out.

"Idiot!" Han glanced at her with disdain, "She is pretending! She is playing the pig to eat the tiger! Your whole family has been fooled by her!"

"Father, do you think my uncle and the others will become suspicious of us?" Mu Yiwen asked Mu Erjin.

He was also very dissatisfied with Xu Panyue's performance today.

However, now that things have come to this, it is not the time to blame others. The most important thing is to solve the problem.

Murjin's brows were knitted tightly. "It's impossible to say that there is no doubt at all. But, at most, they only doubt as far as the marriage exchange. They shouldn't have any other doubts."

"After all, we have never revealed even a little bit in front of them over the years. So, today's matter..."

His eyes fell on Xu Panyue.

Mu Yiwen reacted instantly, "Son knows what to do."

……

In the East Courtyard, Yushengju is Mu Shaochen’s courtyard.

At this moment, Xu Zhimiao was sitting on a chair, happily opening the red envelope and counting the silver bills.

[The Marquis and his wife are really nice people. They gave me so many banknotes.]

[So, Tongzi, do you think I should repay the favor and tell them about Mu Shaochen's tragic death? ]

Outside the door, Mu Shaochen just raised his foot to step in but then retracted it.
