"If the Shen family insists on giving you a divorce letter, what will you do?" Xie Huaizhong's eyes were gloomy:

"You are all alone, without your family to rely on, and holding your dowry, can you live in peace?"

When asked this question, Xie Feiwan was suddenly surprised:

"How much do you distrust the security of the capital, Lord Xie? Or do you doubt the ability of Jingzhao Prefecture to do its job?"

Some things can't be said openly!

Although what Xie Huaizhong said was not wrong, if it were made public, it would be a mistake upon a mistake!

If this gets to the ears of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, Xie Huaizhong will be in for a big drink!

"There is no point in arguing, and sharp tongues are the most useless!"

The teammates are all pigs, Xie Huaizhong can only support himself:

"If we divorce, what good will the Marquis' Mansion bring?"

"My dowry was six thousand taels of silver, and the farm and the shop generate two thousand taels of silver every year, all of which went to fill the hole in the mansion!"

"If we divorce, I don't want the twelve thousand taels of silver, and I won't say a word to you outside!"

"The two hundred acres of farmland in the suburbs of Beijing produce a lot. If we take good care of it, it will be enough for the masters of the Marquisate to eat, wear and use! I won't take this land away!"

Madam Shen originally looked gloomy, but upon hearing this, she immediately perked up!

He stretched his head and asked, "What else? These two hundred acres of land are not enough!"

Shen Zhili also pricked up his ears. He would be criticized for plotting to get his wife's dowry.

But if the wife offers it to you on her own initiative, it will naturally be different!

He could also say to others that his wife made a mistake but he was magnanimous and did not care about it. His wife was so touched that she used her dowry as compensation!

Everyone is happy!

"I also have a shop on East Street, which sells rouge and powder. Not to mention the annual profit, the shop alone is worth at least five thousand taels, right?"

As soon as Xie Feiwan finished speaking, Old Madam Shen immediately turned her head and looked at Xie Huaizhong:

"Really?"

Xie Huaizhong knew about the shop because the Gu family heard that Xie Feiwan was going to get married, so they sent the land deed to her three years ago.

The shop was in a great location and had good business. Xie Huaizhong had wanted to take it over and leave it to Xie Xilan.

But in the end, he was afraid that the Gu family would find out, so he reluctantly gave it to Xie Feiwan.

Now is the perfect time to return the item to its original owner!

Xie Huaizhong nodded with satisfaction: "That's a good shop! It can ensure that Lan'er, her mother and her two children will have no worries about food and clothing!"

When Old Madam Shen heard this, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes relaxed, and she took Xie Xilan's hand and praised:

"I said you are a good person, and you are a lucky person who will bring good luck to your husband!"

Xie Xilan gave birth to two babies, but she still looked shy from time to time.

His brows were lowered in a gentle manner, which made Old Madam Shen laugh!

"Fei Wan, I've seen your dowry list. You have more than just these two properties..."

Old Madam Shen's eyes sparkled, and she wished she could peel off a layer of Xie Feiwan's skin!

"Hmph!" Xie Feiwan, who had never lost his temper in the past two days, suddenly slammed the table, his eyebrows raised:

"I thought Lord Xie was here to discuss things, but I didn't expect he was here to take advantage of the situation!"

"These two properties are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Even if we talk about this to the emperor, it's reasonable!"

"Since both the Shen and Xie families' marriages were granted by the emperor, why not trouble His Majesty the Emperor once more to settle the lawsuit!"

"I would also like to ask the maids in the palace, what kind of magic medicine did Xie Xilan use to give birth to two children in three years and now she is pregnant again? I believe the ladies in the palace will be interested!"

People should not harbor ulterior motives, otherwise they will feel guilty!

Xie Xilan was a little panicked, she looked up and quickly glanced at Shen Zhili.

Shen Zhili clenched his fists, looking nervous!

Xie Huaizhong's face was expressionless, but he was a little anxious in his heart!

Where can we see the emperor nowadays?

The Crown Prince is the regent, and the Crown Princess is Xie Feiwan's best friend.

Although Xie Feiwan severed his relationship with the Xie family, the Crown Princess was in a high position and might not care about this.

Do not!

Perhaps, since Xie Feiwan has severed his relationship with the Xie family, the Crown Princess will only treat Xie Feiwan better!

Xie Huaizhong wanted to be a loyal minister, but how could it be so easy?

The officialdom in the capital is like a pot of boiling porridge. Who can stay out of it?

In order to be noble, Xie Huaizhong never showed his affection to the crown prince.

On the contrary, ever since the Crown Princess married into the Eastern Palace, he has become more distant from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in order to avoid suspicion and prevent others from saying that he relied on his daughter's relationship to get the crown prince's attention!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also despised the incompetence and stupidity of the Marquis of Weiwu.

If this lawsuit is brought to the palace, who can come out on top except Xie Feiwan?

Now is the critical moment for my promotion. If I annoy the crown prince again, wouldn’t all my efforts in my whole life be ruined?

Thinking of this, Xie Huaizhong coughed lightly: "We are all family, why bother..."

"Let's go! Who is afraid of seeing the emperor?" Old Madam Shen straightened her back:

"The Shen family saved the emperor's life! The last time I went to see the emperor, he agreed to grant a marriage between Zhili and Lan'er without saying a word. Who do you think you are? How can the emperor still favor you? Don't let the dowry belong to my Shen family, and you end up on the streets and die a miserable death!"

Madam Shen put one hand on her waist, stood with her legs apart, and swung her fingers, almost poking Xie Feiwan's nose. She spoke excitedly, spitting:

"Zhili's grandfather saved the emperor's life! Do you know how great a favor this is? Even if the emperor uses his life to protect the Marquis' Mansion, it is what he should do..."

"Shut up!" Xie Huaizhong's face was dark, as if he went to the kitchen and crawled through the stove door when he went out!

Shen Zhili was so frightened that he took a step forward and covered his mother's mouth tightly!

"Um... um..." Old Madam Shen struggled desperately, but how could she beat her own son?

In a short while, Madam Shen's body softened and she fainted on the ground!

Only then did Shen Zhili realize that in a moment of desperation, he had covered his mother's mouth and nose tightly with his hands!

"Mother!" He was a little panicked and shouted outside, "Why don't you go and get the palace doctor?"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door; I guess it was the servants running away.

Shen Zhili roared loudly, but his expression was one of relief.

How could Xie Feiwan not see what he was thinking?

I sneered in my heart!

This family only wants to enjoy the good times by themselves, and will never share the bad times with others!

This old lady speaks without restraint. If there were outsiders here at this time, I’m afraid Shen Zhili would want to smother me to death!

Looking at Xie Huaizhong again, he was leaning on the table beside him, breathing heavily, with one hand supporting his forehead!

"My Lord..." After a while, a servant stood at the door and replied hesitantly.

"Where's the court doctor? Why hasn't he come yet? What are you doing eating?" Shen Zhili shouted, veins popping out of his neck.

"I just went to ask for the doctor, but he was not in. He left a message... a message..."

"What did you say?" Shen Zhili roared. Since returning to Beijing, nothing has gone smoothly. The anxiety in his heart is about to overflow!

After being yelled at, the servant became fluent:

"The palace doctor said that the Marquis's family is extremely poor, but they still want to save face by marrying a concubine. We won't even be able to pay our monthly allowance next month! So he went to find another job!"

Before Shen Zhili could speak, the servant looked anxious and asked:

"My Lord, can next month's allowance still be issued?"
