The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"Your dowry and the second young master's betrothal gift have actually been moved out separately a long time ago, and are now all in the hands of Aunt Yin..."

Nanny Wan spoke for a long time, but all Xiao Qintang heard was the word "dowry".

Thinking that there were ready-made betrothal gifts in the warehouse, she was delighted, but secretly thought that she was really stupid.

Since we have it in the mansion, just take it directly. Why come here to borrow it?

After borrowing, you have to find a way to pay it back, what a hassle...

"Okay, I'll go find Yin Xiaorou right away." Xiao Qintang said, and warned Aunt Wan, "Don't tell anyone what I just said, especially my sister-in-law, otherwise..."

"No, Third Miss."

Nanny Wan said hurriedly and respectfully.

When she saw Xiao Qintang heading for Longyan Pavilion, she turned around and went back to the house. She said to Ruan Yunluo in admiration, "Madam, you are really a master at foresight."

"Where is it?"

"How not?"

Nanny Wan disagreed. "When you suddenly claimed to be ill two days ago and asked me to keep an eye on the Third Miss, I thought it was strange. Today I finally know why. It turns out that you had already anticipated that she would make trouble and took precautions early on."

"Just like just now, if you hadn't stopped the Third Miss and she had come into the room and directly asked you to borrow the dowry, how much trouble would it have been for you, Madam?

Borrow it, what if you can't pay it back?

If I don’t lend it to you, I will offend the third young lady.

It would be better not to let her in, so as not to dirty the lady's ears."

"How can it be so magical?"

Ruan Yunluo smiled and shook his head.

Borrowing dowry had never happened in her previous life, so how could she possibly guess it in this life?

She just expected that Lu Yitong would not have the money to give a betrothal gift, and Xiao Qintang would definitely come to her for advice.

In fact, ideas can be put forward.

Ruan Yunluo was eager to help her and Lu Yitong get together.

But before she could give any advice, she had to clear herself first.

So he purposely didn't let Xiao Qintang in, just to prevent her from implicating himself when she did something stupid, but not to prevent her from borrowing the dowry.

The matter of borrowing the dowry was just a coincidence.

"Madam, the words you asked me to say to Miss Third..." Nanny Wan looked around warily, hesitating to speak, "Could she really dare..."

After all, she is a lady who grew up in luxury, could she really be so devoted to someone?

I really don't know what kind of drug that Lu outside gave her...

"Whether he dares or not, I'm not sure." Ruan Yunluo rocked lightly in the rocking chair and said with a smile: "Anyway, when that Lu Yitong comes to propose marriage, we will know."

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a light and cold snow fell in the capital city.

But there was a lot of noise and joy at the entrance of the Xiao family's house.

The crowd gathered around the general's mansion, staring at the long list of betrothal gifts behind Old Lady Zhao, and they were shocked.

"Whose noble family is this? How come I have never heard of him? He is so rich."

"What noble? Her son is just a minor official of the sixth rank, nothing special. Humph, I really don't know what Miss Xiao sees in him."

"Alas... it's all because of the incident at Lingzhao Temple a while ago. I guess Miss Xiao really can't marry into a good family..."

"Eh? Why hasn't the Xiao family opened the door yet? Why is my mother-in-law waiting like this?"

"Hehe, just to show your power."

Hearing everyone's chattering, Mrs. Zhao could hardly maintain the smile on her face.

At this moment, with a creaking sound, the vermilion door of the Xiao family finally slowly opened. The housekeeper Cui Shu stepped out and welcomed Mrs. Zhao and her group in.

After letting the betrothal personnel stay in the outer courtyard, the betrothal gifts and Old Lady Zhao were sent to the reception hall in the inner courtyard.

Inside the reception hall.

Old Madam Xi saw how Old Madam Zhao was shrinking, looked her over, and then smiled and said, "Please sit down."

"Eh."

Old Mrs. Zhao nodded stiffly and quickly did as she was told.

Before coming to propose marriage today, she thought that the general's mansion should be a wealthy family, but she didn't expect it to be such a wealthy family.

She was almost dizzy from walking through the hall and courtyard.

If she were to come here alone, she would not be able to find the right place even if she searched for a whole day.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse to be able to marry into a family like this.

Old Mrs. Zhao sighed inwardly, and tried to talk to Old Madam Xi, "Old Madam, you look really energetic."

"Ah."

Madam Xi forced a smile and nodded.

She really didn't want to become relatives with such a small family, but there was nothing she could do. Who made her daughter so determined to get married?

Now that the other party has sent the betrothal gifts sincerely, she can't afford to offend him too much.

After all, no matter how noble a daughter is, she still has to live in someone else's home after getting married. If the relationship becomes too strained now, then the child will be the one who suffers.

Thinking of this, she also smiled and invited Old Lady Zhao to drink tea, and took the initiative to introduce, "Try this Junshan Yinzhen, it is the tribute tea of ​​the palace, and there are less than ten kilograms in the whole capital. Thanks to the great blessing of Concubine Xi, she also gave me a few taels. I usually can't bear to drink it, but now that you are here, we can taste it together."

"Hey, this is actually tribute tea!" Old Lady Zhao looked at the tea in surprise. She swallowed and looked at Old Lady Xi cautiously, "Do you know the Empress in the palace?"

"of course."

Old Madam Xi was faintly proud.

She was eager to let this relative know the nobility of her daughter, so she said: "The Concubine Xi's surname is also Xiao, and she is Qin Tang's aunt."

"Yes, really..."

Old Mrs. Zhao's hands trembled and she almost spilled the tea.

Thinking of the confusing betrothal gifts from next door, she felt filled with regret.

If she had known earlier, she should not have agreed to this marriage! If she had known earlier, she should not have accepted the betrothal gift from unknown sources! If she had known earlier, she should not have come here to deliver the betrothal gift today!

She is the general's sister!

She is the niece of Concubine Xi!

I am from a small family, how can I marry into such a high class family?

If they find out the origin of the betrothal gifts from next door, will I be able to save my life?

Thinking of this, she shivered all over again.

He didn't dare to sit on the chair or drink the tea, and stood up to say goodbye.

"what happened?"

Old Madam Xi found it strange to see her in such a hurry.

We were just chatting nicely, and now you’re leaving?

She didn't want to keep him, but it was a major event in her daughter's life after all, so she had to make it look presentable.

"No, it's okay. I just feel a little dizzy."

"Dizziness?"

Madam Xi frowned and quickly looked at Nanny Fan beside her, "Quick, go get the palace doctor."

“No, no need!” Old Mrs. Zhao was startled and quickly waved her hands. “This is actually an old illness of mine. It’s nothing serious. I just need to go back and rest.”

As she said this, she hurried out and turned back to say goodbye to Old Madam Xi, "You, you are busy, you are busy, I won't disturb you..."

But at this moment, a maid rushed in from outside the door. She leaned close to Madam Fan's ear and said something very quickly...

Nanny Fan's expression changed immediately. She glanced at Old Lady Zhao coldly, leaned close to Old Lady Xi's ear, and whispered:

"Madam, there is a problem with the betrothal gift."
