The group returned with a full load.

Tan'er's hands were sore from holding it: "Gold is so heavy!"

Meng Qianqian: "Stop saying that. Of course the heavier the gold, the better."

However, the box for holding gold should not be too heavy, as it will really tire your arms.

"Circle, beautiful."

After Baoshu got off the carriage, she showed off her gold necklace to everyone she met and boasted all the way.

When Meng Qianqian and Tan'er brought a pile of gold jewelry back to the main house, Nanny Li and Banxia were stunned.

Banxia said: "Miss, you went out... and bought so much?"

Madam Li opened the box and took a look. She gasped, "Oh, this quality and this style, I'm afraid it's not cheap, right?"

Meng Qianqian nodded seriously: "Yes, I bought all the most expensive ones."

Nanny Li was about to speak but stopped herself. She closed the door first, then returned to the table and asked in a low voice, "Miss, although we have some income, aren't we spending too much?"

Meng Qianqian felt the same way: "I think it's too much."

Nanny Li had been in the Lu family for five years and was tired of spending money. When she saw her own young lady spending money like water, bad memories came to her mind.

"Miss, don't blame me for being nosy. Even if you want to honor your mother-in-law, you don't have to do this."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Mammy, these were bought by the Madam."

Nanny Li was shocked and looked at the table of jewelry in disbelief: "Did Madam buy them? All of them?"

"Ah."

Meng Qianqian nodded.

Nanny Li quickly opened all the boxes, and the bright golden light almost blinded her eyes.

Banxia covered her mouth: "Oh my god."

The last time I saw so many jewels was when the Governor’s Mansion came to propose marriage.

Meng Qianqian divided the box and took out two: "These are mine, the rest are for Madam. Banxia, ​​give them to Madam."

Nanny Li took a look at the two boxes that were separated and suddenly realized that only two of them belonged to the young ladies.

She said, how could there be such a rich and generous mother-in-law in the world?

It’s the best if you have any one of them.

Banxia thought so too, and she reached out to hug the dozen or so boxes.

Meng Qianqian said: "Wrong, these two are right."

They were both startled.

Meng Qianqian sighed, "Madam doesn't like gold, she only bought two sets of headgear for herself."

Banxia opened her eyes wide: "So the rest are all..."

"Not all of them are mine." Meng Qianqian pointed to one of the boxes, "You have some too, one gold bracelet each."

thump!

Nanny Wan, who was drying clothes in the yard, knelt down.

From now on, whenever you hear a cicada chirping in the yard, it will be her fault!

Meng Qianqian distributed the bracelets.

Nanny Wan and the others were overjoyed. It turned out that they were right to follow the young lady and leave the Lu family. Otherwise, how could they have the good life they have now?

A few days ago, when Nanny Wan went to buy vegetables, she met Mrs. Liu from Haitangyuan.

After only a few months of not seeing each other, Mrs. Liu looked more than ten years older. After asking her, I learned that her life in the Lu family was very difficult.

After the old lady took charge of the household, she not only withheld monthly wages, but also drove away many of the servants' children.

The wages of the house-born children were high, so the old lady, in order to increase income and reduce expenditure, actually set her sights on them.

Although Liu Pozi's family was not driven away, their monthly salary was reduced by half.

Those who did not follow Meng Qianqian and leave the Lu family now regretted it deeply.

-

When Lu Yuan returned to the main courtyard after work, Meng Qianqian was sitting cross-legged on the bed admiring the gold jewelry all over the bed.

She had just finished taking a shower and was wearing dry pajamas. Her half-dry black hair was like smooth and shiny brocade, softly draped over her shoulders, setting off her jade-like skin. She was so beautiful that it was almost enchanting.

"Ingenious workmanship."

“It’s gorgeous.”

"Jewelry!"

She picked up one and praised it, then sighed.

"What a pity, none of them are mine..."

She was too happy during the day and forgot that her marriage with Lu Yuan was a fake one. She really treated Liu Qingyun as her mother-in-law.

These jewellery were given by Liu Qingyun to her daughter-in-law, but they are fake, really fake!

What a sad story!

Just as she was feeling sad, everything suddenly went dark above her head.

"You block my light..."

Meng Qianqian looked up, and promptly suppressed her anger at being interrupted from admiring the jewelry, and got out of bed very obediently, "My husband is back."

Even the title has changed.

She used to call him that only in front of outsiders, but when she got home she would call him Grand Commander as a subordinate.

Lu Yuan keenly caught her little jump of joy that was about to burst out. He even looked behind her and seriously suspected that there was an invisible little tail wagging there.

"Why are you back so late today? Is it because you have too much business to attend to in the court?"

She asked with a concerned look on her face.

However, Lu Yuan clearly saw some urging in her eyes, as if she was saying: Go quickly, go quickly, I want to see the gold!

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he replied indifferently: "I checked the emperor's homework."

Meng Qianqian was pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh, the child has come back to the right path?"

Lu Yuan said coldly: "Do you care about others so much?"

Meng Qianqian blinked and asked in a very servile manner, "Husband, are you tired? Are you thirsty?"

She brought a stool and said, "Husband, please sit down."

Lu Yuan sat down calmly.

She began to massage Lu Yuan's shoulders and asked tentatively, "These jewellery were bought by my mother. Can I...keep two sets?"

Lu Yuan: "Meng Xiaojiu!"

Meng Qianqian quickly closed her eyes: "One set!"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and resisted the urge to pry open her head: "What I bought for you is yours!"

Meng Qianqian leaned down and blinked at him from the side: "Really?"

Her warm breath fell on his ears, stirring up a burning sensation.

His throat slid for a moment, and he said calmly, "Forget it if you don't want it."

Meng Qianqian nodded rapidly: "Yes, yes!"

-

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xun Yu went to the study to see his father, and the two gentlemen were also there.

He told them what had happened during the day. When they heard that the daughter of Miao Jiang whom Lu Yuan rejected was actually the granddaughter of the Miao King, both Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Yu were surprised.

Prime Minister Xun did not show it on his face, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Mr. Gongsun stroked his beard and asked, "Does Lu Yuan know?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "He doesn't seem to know. If he knew, he would definitely not refuse."

She is the granddaughter of the Miao King. Marrying her is equivalent to marrying half of the Miao territory.

Mr. Yu asked thoughtfully, "Why would the Miao King promise his granddaughter to Lu Yuan?"

Mr. Gongsun said, "Why not? Don't forget, before our Prime Minister returned to the court, Lu Yuan had always held great power in the government. It's not surprising that the Miao King would want to win him over. This just shows that the Miao King has his own ambitions. He came to the capital this time, ostensibly to celebrate the wedding of the Emperor and Empress, but I'm afraid he wants to find new allies."

As he spoke, he looked at Xun Yu, "Prince, your chance has come."

Xun Yu nodded: "Lu Yuan has offended King Miao, King Miao is looking for a new grandson-in-law, and I am the best candidate."

Prime Minister Xun suddenly spoke up: "The Miao King has a daughter. Have you found out her name? Where is she?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "I found out that the young master of Miaojiang is very patient, while Bai Yuwei is much simpler. The Miao king's daughter is called Bai Zheng. She angered the Miao king before and was confined by him. She should be in Miaojiang now."

Prime Minister Xun was silent for a moment, then said shrewdly, "Find a way to let the brother and sister meet Liu Qingyun."

Xun Yu's smile faded: "Father is suspicious... It's impossible. Liu Qingyun is Liu Qingyun, Bai Zheng is Bai Zheng, they can't be the same person!"

Lu Yuan was just a lowly stable boy, how could he be the descendant of the Miao King?

He clenched his fists: "Father, I will prove to you that you are wrong. Lu Yuan's body...only flows with the lowest blood!"
