The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk

Half of the dowry?

Old Madam Zhou couldn't help but take a breath, and her face became a little angry.

Then he scolded her: "How could you donate half of your dowry? Did you get my consent? But fortunately, you didn't donate all of it!"

Old Madam Zhou was suppressing her anger.

However, her previous dowry had already been donated, so she had no choice.

We can't let the people who have benefited from Shanyitang spit them out, right?

Jiang Wanqing laughed when she heard this, and said with her hands covering her lips, "Mother-in-law, you are really interesting. Do I need your consent to decide how to use my dowry? I used my dowry to subsidize the Xingchang Marquis' Mansion. That was my responsibility as the mistress of the house. It shouldn't have been used for more than a year. You naturally think that my dowry is the property of the Xingchang Marquis' Mansion, right? Besides, donating my dowry is also good for the people."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around nodded, and at the same time couldn't help but start to blame Madam Zhou.

"What Jiang Wanqing said is correct. Could it be that if she just uses her dowry, others will really think that her dowry has become the private property of the Xingchang Marquisate?"

"What Madam Zhou said was quite funny. Jiang Wanqing used her own dowry, so why did she have to have a purpose?"

"Originally, the Xingchang Marquisate was struggling to make ends meet, and Jiang Wanqing was the one who provided financial support. Now the Marquis has taken in two concubines, one of whom has a child. Can't we rely on Jiang Wanqing's dowry to support the Marquis's women and children?"

"This Jiang Wanqing is so miserable. She has been devoted to the Xingchang Marquisate, but in the end, her husband still suspects her of having an affair."

Everyone was talking at once, and when their words reached the ears of Old Madam Zhou and Zhou Zigu, both of them looked unhappy.

Zhou Zigu looked at Jiang Wanqing deeply and said, "Why do you have to discredit the Xingchang Marquisate? Don't forget that you are also my wife. If my reputation is ruined, what good will it do you?"

Madam Zhou snorted angrily, "Now that you have married into the Marquis of Xingchang's mansion, you and the Zhou family will rise and fall together. So what if I paid a little dowry? Do you think I'm going to take your life for your dowry?"

Jiang Wanqing looked at the two of them and said slowly, "I'm afraid it's not going to cost me my life, but the life of your Zhou family!"

Madam Zhou immediately retorted: "Don't you think we have to use your dowry?"

"That's the best!" Jiang Wanqing's lips curled up slightly. "Mother-in-law, although I only donated half of my dowry, I forgot to tell you that the remaining half was all given by the emperor. In other words, I have used up all the dowry I could move. I am afraid that I will not be able to support the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion in the future."

Only half was donated, and the rest were all gifts from the emperor.

The things bestowed by the emperor cannot be touched or sold.

Isn't that equivalent to donating all the dowry?

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she rolled her eyes, closed them, and fell backwards.

Fortunately, Zhou Zigu was quick to act and supported Old Madam Zhou in time.

Zhou Zigu pinched Madam Zhou's philtrum, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Mother! Wake up!"

Jiang Wanqing covered her lips with a look of surprise in her eyes: "My Lord, why did my mother-in-law faint again?"

Zhou Zigu looked at Jiang Wanqing meaningfully.

He also noticed it.

From the very beginning, Jiang Wanqing's every word and action led to discrediting the Xingchang Marquisate.

Everything she said was detrimental to her.

After a while, Old Madam Zhou finally slowly opened her eyes.

There was a hint of moisture and some anger in her eyes.

Madam Zhou slowly stretched out her hand and pointed at Jiang Wanqing.

He opened his mouth and said, "Jiang Wanqing! You...you...you are really..."

Before Mrs. Zhou could finish her words, Zhou Zigu covered her mouth. She looked at him in confusion.

But Zhou Zigu shook his head at him.

There was helplessness and reluctance in Old Madam Zhou's eyes, but she could only shut her mouth.

He turned his face to the other side, fearing that he would see Jiang Wanqing's face and get angry again.

There was no trace of emotion in Zhou Zigu's dark eyes.

He just said calmly: "I know you are angry that I took a concubine and you misunderstood you. But I took a concubine with your consent. One is my lifesaver and the other is my cousin. It is difficult for me to have both. You understand.

But your cheating on me shows that you are a bit too promiscuous. If Feng Xingzhi hadn't revealed that she was a woman, everyone would have thought that you two were having a secret meeting, right?

Since Feng Xingzhi dressed as a man, shouldn't you keep some distance from her instead of meeting her secretly and letting others find out and let me hear about it, leading to such a misunderstanding?

Well, Madam, since it is just a misunderstanding, let's clear it up and go home. How many people are going to laugh at us?"

Zhou Zigu's words put the blame on Jiang Wanqing for the crime of catching the adulterer today.

Yes, if Jiang Wanqing hadn’t done something that caused misunderstanding, how could she have caused misunderstanding?

Jiang Wanqing held Xiaoxiao in her arms, with a hint of sadness on her face.

With a somewhat aggrieved tone, she complained, "It's been such a long time since the Marquis came home. If he really cared about me, how could he not know what I have done in the past few days? If the Marquis cared more about me, how could he not know?"

Zhou Zigu was stunned, frowned and said: "I am injured in the leg..."

Jiang Wanqing sneered immediately: "Yes, because of your leg injury, you have to let your aunt serve you, and Her Royal Highness the Princess has to come to see you, but I don't know what's good for me, but I can't fit in this position, I am redundant.

If the Marquis really has someone he likes, I can give up this position for him."

After saying that, Jiang Wanqing turned around and left without giving Zhou Zigu a chance to react.

Nanny Su, Mo Yu, and Feng Xingzhi also hurriedly followed.

Jiang Wanqing's words before leaving also made everyone around him gossip.

"It seems that the rumors are true. Her Royal Highness the Princess actually went to see the Marquis."

"My Lord, you really are... You have a concubine in the house and a princess outside the palace. Jiang Wanqing seems a little redundant."

"But it's Jiang Wanqing who's in charge of the Xingchang Marquis's Mansion..."

.........

Everyone looked at Jiang Wanqing, who was holding the child and looking aggrieved as she passed by them, and they all showed a trace of sympathy.

Faced with all this, Jiang Wanqing tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips.

Originally, Zhou Zigu was planning to slander herself for having an affair so that he could divorce her and marry the princess openly.

Now, she had exposed the affair between Zhou Zigu and Her Royal Highness the Princess in front of everyone. If Zhou Zigu wanted to divorce her, he would probably forget it.

The only way is to divorce and abandon myself? That's just dreaming!
