The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Gu Jinchu turned his head and looked at Jiang Nansheng: "I'll go over and take a look too."

She and her sisters-in-law had just returned from Lanyuan in the morning. At that time, Li was just crying. She felt that the quarrel in the third room was probably related to that cup of rose tea.

Jiang Nansheng took Jin Chu's cloak from Bai Shao's hand, raised his hand to put it on her, tied the laces for her personally, raised the corners of his lips slightly, smiled and said: "I'll go with you."

Gu Jinchu nodded and asked him along the way if he knew what had happened recently in the third room.

After all, Fifth Master and Third Master are brothers. If Fifth Master intervenes, the problem will be easier to resolve.

The dusk deepened. Although the yard was not so dark that you could not see your hand in front of you, it was still dim and hazy.

Jiang Nansheng held a lantern in one hand, and the faint glow flickered in the night. He stepped onto the stone steps before her, and reached out to hold her hand.

After she stepped forward, he held her fingers together and said slowly, "The money He Youzhi mentioned in the account book was prepared for my third brother. I thought if he came to look for me, I would help him."

Gu Jinchu looked at his tall and upright figure and felt inexplicably at ease.

After they got married, Master Wu handed over all his property to her to manage. When she was looking at the account book today, she saw that expenditure, but she didn't think of asking him.

Mr. Jiang Wu, who used to be as gentle as jade, has gradually become a ruthless and ruthless person in the eyes of others since he became the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

However, he always took family affection into consideration when dealing with his half-brothers.

I just don't know whether Mr. Jiang San will appreciate this favor. I guess Mr. Wu is waiting for him to speak up.

Gu Jinchu felt that it would be more appropriate for the Crown Prince and his wife to pay off Mr. Jiang San's deficit.

It's not that she is stingy and cares about the money.

After all, the dowry of the previous Duke's wife was all in Wang's hands. The Crown Prince and Mr. Jiang San were brothers from the same mother, and the property left by their deceased mother was shared by the two brothers.

……

As soon as Jiang Nanyi entered the mansion, he heard someone calling him in a low voice. It was Taozhi, who was standing under the veranda in a daze.

After getting off the carriage, the cold moonlight outlined his tired figure.

When Taozhi saw the Third Master, she ran over in a panic and shouted without hesitation: "Master, you are back. Please save Auntie quickly. She has been kneeling for three hours!"

Jiang Nanyiyi ran into many setbacks outside today, and his depressed mood became extremely irritable. He frowned and shook off her hand with impatience.

He scolded in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is this the place for you to cry?"

Taozhi staggered for a moment, not daring to move forward, and could only trot behind Master Jiang Sanye.

"Master, I don't know what happened to the mistress... She punished Auntie by making her kneel in the yard and took away most of the things in the room..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanyi strode towards Lanyuan.

There was a breeze under his feet and his back was full of anger.

He paused as he stepped into the hanging flower gate, then stepped back and stood on the stone steps, looking up at the plaque.

The two words "Lanyuan" have become torn into pieces, and it can be seen that they have been destroyed vigorously by someone.

Seeing this, Taozhi complained quietly, "Master, it was the Madam who ordered people to smash it. Didn't you see how fierce and scary she was at the time..."

Jiang Nanyi's expression became even gloomier, and before she could finish speaking, he kicked open the half-closed door.

The door panel hit the doorpost with great force, making a loud "clang" sound.

The smoke and dust fluttered down and drifted in the air.

Maids and old women ran out from the inner courtyard, and seeing the Third Master coming in with a sullen face, they bowed their heads and bent their knees in greeting.

Jiang Nanyiyi walked into the inner courtyard and found that the courtyard was brightly lit with candles today, and maids and old women were coming in and out, looking very busy.

"Father." Jiang Yiyun called softly when he saw his father come in.

Only then did Jiang Nanyi see Aunt Zhao and the concubine's daughter kneeling in front of the main door.

He strode over, took Aunt Zhao's arm, and asked in a calm voice, "Qiaolan, what happened?"

But his eyes were looking towards the main hall, his eyes full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

In the house, when Mother Xia heard the noise outside, she knew that the master had returned.

Standing beside Li, he said with a worried look on his face, "Madam, the master is back. Do you want to go out and take a look? Otherwise, I don't know what Aunt Zhao and the Second Miss will say."

Li sat behind a desk with an account book and her dowry list on the table.

She looked pale and focused, and turned a deaf ear to what Mother Xia said.

He checked the list one by one, muttering to himself, "…I redeemed the farm in Daxing, and spent a little more money on the shop in Ruyifang, thanks to my family's connections…I also have the farm in the suburbs, but I don't have enough money at the moment…"

She rubbed her aching neck, raised her head and looked around the room. Recalling something, she quickly walked towards the inner room.

She reached out and opened the dressing box. From the most secret place at the bottom layer, she took out a brocade bag and took out a jade pendant from it.

Li's dry eyes seemed to be filled with nostalgia and determination. She handed the jade pendant to Mother Xia beside her and told her, "Give this to Che Tong. Ask him to exchange it for silver at the pawnshop and then buy back the farm in the suburbs."

After saying this, she took a deep breath, and all her dowry was returned. Although some money was wasted in the process, it was finally returned intact.

No! It's Gui Li!

Che Tong is Mother Xia's son, who is in charge of his wife's dowry. Mother Xia is a little undecided holding the jade pendant.

After agreeing, she did not leave immediately, but asked in a low voice: "Madam, do you want to think about it again? Or should I ask Tongge'er to sign a living contract?"

This jade pendant was a token given to his wife by Mr. Jiang San when the Jiang family went to the Li family to propose marriage. She had been with his wife for so many years, so she knew how much his wife cherished this jade pendant.

Li was trying hard to hold back her tears. Her chin trembled slightly and her lips twitched involuntarily.

Her eyes were full of pain. She closed them slightly, and when she opened them again, she had regained her determination.

"Dead pawn! Now it can help me redeem my dowry, which is its greatest value."

"Isn't the Third Master back? Let's go out." When he turned around, he pressed the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief before walking out.

Li walked to the front door of the main room and looked up to see Jiang Nanyi bending down and pulling Aunt Zhao up from the ground.

The two people were very close to each other. When they saw her appear at the door, one of them had a face full of anger and a frown on his face; the other one lowered his head, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.

When Jiang Nanyi saw her appear, he said, "Ms. Li, you knew that Qiaolan was injured during childbirth, why did you torture her like this?"

Li stood in front of the main door, less than ten steps away from the three of them walking down the stone steps.

The cold moonlight and dim candlelight shone on them. Even after more than ten years, this scene still makes people feel blinded.

She looked down at them with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "Third Master, don't rush to convict me. Listen to me first..."
