Xue Mei also planned to use most of the silver in the warehouse as a dowry for her daughter Tian Ruojiao when she married into the royal family.

Now, even if all the property in the warehouse was given to Tian Ruojiao as a dowry, it might still be looked down upon by others.

Another 100,000 taels will be moved away for Tian Rumo. What will happen to her daughter's dowry then?

However, there is no other way now. She must first appease Old Lady Tian, ​​successfully become the mistress, and make her daughter eligible to become the prince's consort.

If she continued to insist, or was petty and sent someone to find Tian Wu and bring him back, it would be really bad if Old Mrs. Tian changed her mind in anger and deliberately delayed, thus ruining her daughter's future.

Xue Mei tried hard to keep a smile on her face, "Then when the master comes back, I will tell him that it was the old lady's idea?"

Old Mrs. Tian stiffened her neck and said, "Of course it was my idea. You can just push everything onto me. If he has any objections, just come to me!"

"Could it be that he wants to kill his mother?"

"how is this possible?"

Xue Mei said quickly, "The master is very filial. Even if the old lady gave the entire Tianguo Mansion to Momo, he would not dare to do anything to the old lady!"

"Then I will go to the storeroom first. I must be there!"

The old lady waved her hand impatiently, and Xue Mei bowed and walked out.

Tian Rujiao was so anxious that she stamped her feet secretly, because she knew how much silver was in the warehouse. Xue Mei had promised to give it all to her as a dowry.

Of course, at this time, she had no way to object, and she didn't even have the qualifications to speak.

If you speak up you will only get scolded by old lady Lai Tian!

After loading 100,000 taels of silver onto several ox carts, Tian Rumo and Old Lady Tian had finished their lunch.

Old Madam Tian wanted to send Tian Ruomo out the door, but Tian Ruomo tried her best to dissuade her, "You are the old lady of Duke Tian's mansion, my grandmother, and you will always be."

"Next time, you don't have to pick up your granddaughter at the door in person. That will shorten her lifespan!"

"Just ask Aunt Xue and Sister Ruojiao to send me out!"

When Old Mrs. Tian heard what Tian Rumo said, she ordered Xue Mei and Tian Ruojiao to send Tian Rumo out.

After saying goodbye to Old Lady Tian, ​​Tian Ruomo held Xiaomei in her arms and walked towards the gate of Duke Tian's Mansion.

Xue Mei and Tian Ruojiao followed behind, turned a corner, and came to a corridor where there was a small pavilion.

Tian Ruomo walked over.

Xue Mei and Tian Ruojiao were puzzled. Isn't that the direction of the gate?

Of course, they didn't stop it.

Tian Ruomo came to the pavilion, stopped, and looked quietly at the small pond in front of her.

Xue Mei and Tian Ruojiao looked at each other, somewhat confused as to what Tian Ruojiao was up to.

Xue Mei put on a smile, trying to lighten the depressing atmosphere.

"Momo, do you remember?"

"One year, you were so naughty that you jumped into this pond to catch fish and nearly drowned!"

Tian Ruojiao cooperated by covering her mouth and laughing, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"Yes, I remember it very clearly. When my sister was fished out, she was turned into a mud figure!"

"Hahaha, I even tried to pull my sister, and my clothes got black, and I got scolded by my grandparents too!"

Xue Mei smiled even more happily, "Yes, you two sisters have had a very good relationship since you were young. Ruo Mo, you are the princess now, you have to take care of your sister too!"

However, her smile was met with Tian Rumo's cold face.

She took a deep breath, kept smiling and said, "Ruo Mo, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Rumo slapped Xue Mei in the face.

The crisp sound of a slap made the atmosphere freeze in an instant.

The expressions of the people present were extremely shocked.

Only Xiaomei, who was held in Tian Rumo's other hand, had a look of joy on her face and meowed continuously.

"Well done, well done, well done."

Tian Ruojiao came back to her senses, and anger suddenly appeared on her face, "Sister, why did you hit my mother?"

Xue Mei was also filled with rage. She covered one side of her face with her hand, looking as if she wanted Tian Rumo to give her an explanation.

"Ruo Mo, what are you doing?"

Tian Ruomo's beautiful eyes were cold, "When I took Grandma's pulse, I found that there was some residual poison in her body that had not been completely eliminated by my medicine."

"She was poisoned by a very large amount of poison, and it was only this morning. If I hadn't prepared in advance and added a magical medicine that can cure all poisons into the medicine she gave her, she would have been a corpse by now."

Xue Mei's eyes suddenly widened!

She finally understood why Mrs. Tian seemed fine even after she had been given the medicine for the past two days.

It turned out that she gave the medicine every day, and Old Mrs. Tian would also take the good medicine provided by Tian Rumo every day, and the poison was detoxified by Tian Rumo's medicine.

She quickly explained, "Ruo Mo, you misunderstood. I didn't poison the old lady. If the old lady was poisoned, it really has nothing to do with me. I..."

Snapped!

Tian Ruomo slapped her again, stopping her words abruptly!

"Mrs. Xue, I warned you last time. Since you have endured it for so many years, you should continue to endure it."

"If I find out that anything happened to my grandmother, or that she was hurt, I will blame you for it."

"You still want to quibble in front of me?"

Before Xue Mei could explain, Chun Mian behind her drew out a soft sword and placed it across Xue Mei's neck.

This scene scared Tian Ruojiao who was standing next to her.

Feeling the chill of the sharp sword blade on her neck, Xue Mei's hair stood on end and her face turned pale as paper.

Tian Ruomo's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Aunt Xue, I don't need evidence to do anything. If I determine it's you, then it must be you."

"I'm just asking you now, do you want to live or die?"

Xue Mei's knees instinctively softened and she fell to the ground with a thud. With red eyes, she begged for mercy in fear and with a hint of grievance.

"Ruo Mo, no, Princess, I was wrong. I won't do it again!"

"I do this only for Ruojiao and Ruowen!"

"They are called bastards and cannot even hold their heads up when they go out."

"Now, one of them is determined to take the imperial examination and become famous, and the other is facing marriage. I... I have no choice!"

When Xue Mei said this, she was already in tears.

"Think about it, have I ever treated you and the old lady harshly in all the years since I married into the Tian family?"

"Especially the old lady. I visit her every morning and evening. In front of her, I am respectful and cautious. I accept everything she does and endure her cold stares and criticisms."

"I hope she can recognize me and give me a chance, and give her grandchildren a chance. I think I have done a good enough job over the years."

"Do you understand the grievance in my heart?"

Tian Rumo quietly looked at Xue Mei, who was crawling on the ground with her body trembling slightly, then turned around and waved her hand after a while.

Chunmian took back the soft sword!
