I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Xuande Marquis Mansion.

It is said that when Lady Xuande Hou suddenly received a betrothal gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, she was extremely shocked at first, but when she came to her senses, she was filled with joy.

If there is a fool who marries a concubine's daughter, everyone will rush to give them mountains of gold and silver in the Xuan De Marquis's Mansion. As the mistress of the house, why wouldn't the wife of Xuan De Marquis be happy to do so?

Besides, even though she was a marquis's wife, she was not actually very well-off.

——If you are going to marry four daughters-in-law, you have to make four betrothal gifts to the girls’ families in a row; if you are going to marry off several daughters, you have to prepare a dowry.

To be honest, there are so many places in recent years that require large sums of money!

Lady Xuande Hou was just worrying about not having enough silver, and then Gao Yan sent her the "treasury"!

Do you think she is happy?

Almost instantly, Lady Xuande Hou made up her mind to divide the betrothal gift sent by Gao Yan into seven parts.

The four large ones were used for the four sons to marry wives in the future, and the other three small ones were given to the three legitimate daughters as generous dowries.

After happily making her plans, Lady Xuan Dehou called the housekeeper and a dozen young and strong servants to carry the densely packed betrothal gifts in the yard to the treasury to register them.

Unexpectedly, not long after the betrothal gifts were carried into the treasury, the gatekeeper came hurriedly to report: "Madam, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo has arrived with dozens of servants."

Lady Xuande Hou smiled: "Oh, my mother-in-law is here? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and invite her in... Oh no, I will go to the gate to greet her myself."

Naturally, she welcomed the huge betrothal gift.

After saying this, Lady Xuan Dehou stood up from the armchair and was about to go to the front door with a smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, the concierge stopped him and said:

"Madam, I think something is not right. The Madam of the Duke of Zhenguo and her group are coming here aggressively. They don't look like they are here to visit us, but more like they are here to...rob us."

"Yes, he looks fierce and aggressive, just like a gangster."

Lady Xuandehou: ???

Didn't he just come here happily to give a huge betrothal gift? How come he suddenly became as aggressive as a gangster?

Lady Xuande Hou, full of doubts, stopped cautiously.

Then, he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea: "Go, find out why my mother-in-law came to visit. Go now!"

The concierge was very clever and immediately tried to get some information.

But Lin was not stupid. Facing the concierge's rhetoric, she refused to tell the truth and just said that she came to visit her mother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yuzheng, who came with them, directly spoiled the show:

"My young master is a fool. He emptied his private treasury without telling mother and sent all the money to your house as a betrothal gift. When mother found out, she was furious."

"Look, he has personally brought people to the house... to ask for the betrothal gift back!"

Concierge: ???

This is the first time I heard that someone is asking for the betrothal gift back!

When Lin saw the other party's reaction, she knew that something had gone wrong. She glared at Fu Yuzheng and blamed her for being outspoken and incompetent.

Fu Yuzheng shouted at the concierge in an increasingly high-profile manner: "If you know what's best for you, quickly persuade your wife... to hand over the betrothal gifts. Otherwise, don't blame the Crown Prince's mother... for bringing people to rob it!"

Want the betrothal gift back?

Hard grab?

These words exploded like a thunder in the sky above the Xuan De Marquis Mansion, and the gatekeeper was so scared that she quickly closed the vermilion door with a "clang"!

At this time, Lin angrily said to Fu Yuzheng: "Are you here to help or to cause trouble?"

Fu Yuzheng: ???

Is there any need to ask? Of course they are here to cause trouble and sabotage!

Could it be possible that he could really help Lin get the betrothal gifts back?

joke!

Therefore, Fu Yuzheng just smiled without saying anything, and let Lin open her mouth to question her, but she just smiled with her eyes narrowed and said nothing.

"You, are you here to cause trouble? Get back home right now, you are not needed here!" Lin shouted angrily.

Lin had not refused Fu Yuzheng's coming before because she thought that after all, she was Gao Ni's wife and might have a deterrent effect on Xuan Dehou and his wife, so she allowed her to come.

Seeing that Fu Yuzheng was going to ruin her plans, Lin simply asked Nanny Hua to drive Fu Yuzheng away.

At this moment, a luxurious carriage came from a distance. Fu Yuzheng turned her head and saw that it was Concubine Xiang's daughter-in-law, Princess Jing, passing by.

Fu Yuzheng immediately smiled at Lin and said, "Okay, mother, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Fu Yuzheng lifted her skirt and walked down the stone steps at the gate and went straight towards her carriage.

But what shocked Lin was that Fu Yuzheng did not get on her own carriage, but went head-on to intercept Princess Jing's carriage.

Princess Jing immediately opened the curtain and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Madam Gao? What a coincidence, we meet here."

After Fu Yuzheng knelt down to pay her respects, she smiled and said, "It is indeed a coincidence. I accompanied my mother to the house to take back the betrothal gifts, and the servants hadn't even started yet when we ran into Princess Jing."

Princess Jing: ???

Get back the betrothal gift?

Hands-on?

There is a lot of information in this sentence.

The amount of information was certainly huge, but Fu Yuzheng didn't plan to say much, because she knew that Princess Jing was a very gossipy person, and once she got to know the slightest bit of news, she would definitely find out the whole story.

By then, not only would Lin not be able to get the betrothal gifts back, but her notoriety would spread throughout the entire capital, and she would become the laughing stock of the aristocratic families!

Not long after Fu Yuzheng sent Princess Jing away, Lin led her men to start a violent attack at the gate of Marquis Xuande's mansion.

——banged on the door, shouting: "Open the door, open the door, open the door for me quickly!"

The wife of the Marquis Xuande inside learned that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Lin, was here to snatch the betrothal gifts. After finding out that Lin brought about 50 or 60 servants...

She directly ordered the housekeeper:

"Quick, urgently dispatch a hundred servants to guard the gate of the treasury to the death. Keep a tight watch on the treasury! Not even a fly is allowed to fly in!"

Then, Lady Xuande Hou ordered people to go to the garden to urgently find Gao Yan and Shen Yan, and asked with a sour face:

"My Lord, your marriage is so funny. You came to propose marriage, and your mother came to grab the betrothal gifts right after you. Is this your sincerity towards my Shen Yan?"

"what?"

Gao Yan: ???

His mother came to grab the betrothal gift?

After being stunned for a moment, Gao Yan's face turned black!

He had just managed to feel proud of himself, but his mother came to ruin his plans, making him lose face in Yue's family!

He simply hated his mother!

Filled with anger, Gao Yan left Shen Yan behind and rushed to the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

So, soon, a good show of quarreling between Gao Yan and Lin's mother and son was staged at the gate of the marquis' mansion.

When the mother and son were arguing with each other, they didn't notice that there was a strange face at the gate - it was the servant beside Princess Jing.

The servant memorized the conversation between the mother and son, word for word, and later relayed it to Princess Jing without missing a word.

Princess Jing treated it as a joke and told a bunch of noble ladies that Lin had "issued the betrothal gift and then tried to take it back"...

Just like that, Gao Yan's reputation had finally improved slightly because of "an excellent poem", but his reputation became ruined again because of the betrothal gift controversy.

This time, it wasn't just him who stinked, his mother Lin also stinked!
