"Dad, my daughter has the courage to say something unpleasant today. Xi Qingyan's reputation as the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion has been completely ruined. From now on, my father still hopes that Xi Qingyan, who has given birth to children, will marry into a good family.

?」

Xi Chuyu insulted Xi Qingyan wantonly.

During this period of time, she had suffered a lot from Xi Qingyan, and today she wanted to get it all back from Xi Qingyan.

"I, Xi Chuyu, am the upright eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion. Dad, you also know that if you want to have a smooth career, besides performing well in front of Your Majesty, there is actually a shortcut to the south."

"Oh? As a father, I didn't know before that your daughter's family actually studies the official career?"

Lord Shangshu Xi had no children in his life and only gave birth to two daughters.

The most regretful thing in his life was that he could not pass on his experience as an official to his son. Now, his youngest daughter Xi Chuyu actually said such a thing.

It couldn't help but make Lord Shangshu Xi feel a little interested.

"Dad, you used to think that you would recruit a husband for your daughter to protect the property you created, but dad, your idea is too narrow-minded."

"My daughter has an idea, daddy, if I become the princess, and one person can ascend to heaven with a chicken or a dog, you will not only be the Minister of Rites, but also a relative of the emperor!"

"Dad, one is to be a diligent minister all his life, the other is to become a relative of the emperor, which one do you think is better?"

As soon as Xi Chuyu said these words, she saw the sparkle in her father's eyes.

It was obvious that her father was very interested in her proposal!

"Do you still need to choose? All three-year-old children know that royal relatives are the most majestic and lively!"

"Dad, look at our whole family, I am the only one who can make your dream come true."

"Although Xi Qingyan gave birth to a child for His Highness Prince Jin, dad, ask yourself, with the appearance of the eldest sister Xi Qingyan, can she enter Prince Li's Mansion and become Princess Li of Prince Li's Mansion?"

"The royal family pays so much attention to appearance, and His Royal Highness Prince Li is His Majesty's prince. If Xi Qingyan appears in front of everyone with a disfigured face, then the royal family will not only not let us, Shangshu Mansion, become relatives of the emperor, but

Maybe they will still hold us accountable!"

"But if I were your daughter and entered Prince Li's Mansion, my pretty face would definitely not embarrass the Chancellor's Mansion. And His Highness Prince Li's youngest son is your grandson, so he will naturally get close to my aunt."

"Dad, what do you think of this method of killing several birds with one stone?"

Xi Chuyu was bewitching her father, Mr. Xi.

"I don't think so!"

Xi Qingyan retorted with a sneer.

She was in Hanliyuan when she heard Chuntao report back to Mrs. Shangshu for defaulting on her debt. Originally, Xi Qingyan wanted to find Mr. Xi to come forward and force Mrs. Shangshu to bow her head, but she didn't expect that she would hear such ridiculous words outside the study!

"You...you...why are you back?!"

Xi Chuyu was frightened half to death by the sudden appearance of Xi Qingyan, and staggered back two steps.

If there hadn't been a table and chair behind her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Xi Qingyan, are you so unruly? I was talking to my father, and you were secretly listening outside!"

"Do you know that our Shangshu Mansion also has rules?!"

Xi Chuyu held onto the table and stood upright, then scolded Xi Qingyan.

She believed that what she just said had completely figured out her father. Now that Xi Qingyan jumped out, she was here to ask for a beating!

"You tell me the rules? Xi Chuyu, then I'm here today to tell you what the rules are!"

Xi Qingyan sneered and sat directly opposite Xi Chuyu.

"First of all, I am the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion. Whether you, the second lady, are in front of me or behind my back, you keep saying 'Xi Qingyan', 'Xi Qingyan, Xi Chuyu'.

People who don’t call me Ju Changjie are still picking on me for being unruly?”

"you……!"

Xi Chuyu did not expect that Xi Qingyan was no longer as timid as before and would dare to fight with her in front of her father.

"What are you? Did I say something wrong?"

Xi Qingyan didn't take Xi Chuyu seriously at all, but continued to speak out without hesitation.

"Second, Concubine Dong suffered from a serious disease. In the end, it was the miracle doctor Gu Guzhu whom I hired who saved Concubine Dong's life. Xi Chuyu, you spent so much money at home and finally bought a useless pill for Your Majesty.

It was such an empty rejoicing that it almost cost the whole family

A minister is buried with you for your reckless behavior! Xi Chuyu, you can't even handle such a small thing. Do you think that even if you cry and shout to marry into the royal family, His Majesty and the prince in the palace are willing to marry you?

A good-for-nothing person?"

"Xi Chuyu, what do you think the royal family is?"

"Xi Qingyan, at least I don't want you to be like this, with a face that no one else wants to see!"

Xi Chuyu couldn't stand Xi Qingyan's belittling of her, so she directly attacked her.

"Face?"

When Xi Qingyan heard this, she sneered.

"So what about my face? Xi Chuyu, after all, you are also a lady from the Shangshu Mansion. Don't you think that those women who have established a foothold in the palace rely on what you call a face?"

"Every three years, the royal family will select a group of beautiful women to enter the palace. None of them are like you. They want to fly up the branches and become phoenixes day and night. It's a pity that they are swallowed up directly by the palace in the end.

It fell."

"Xi Chuyu, if a brainless fool like you marries into the royal family, I'm afraid our Shangshu Mansion won't be able to chop off ten heads!"

Xi Qingyan was not soft-spoken at all when she attacked Xi Chuyu!

She is not at all interested in Princess Li's position! However, she cannot let someone who comes out of nowhere become her son's stepmother!

Su Xiaomo's life was so miserable in the past. If Su Lixiao finds a cruel and ruthless stepmother like Xi Chuyu in the future, Su Xiaomo's hard-working body will be severely damaged again!

"Xi Qingyan, you call me stupid? How dare you call me stupid? Who do you think you are!"

Xi Chuyu's anger was fully supported by Xi Qingyan. She didn't care about anything else and made a show of attacking Xi Qingyan.

"Xi Chuyu! Have you had enough trouble?"

Master Xi looked at his second daughter, who looked like a shrew, and frowned.

The delusion that Xi Chuyu had just encouraged was completely given up after seeing every move of the second daughter Xi Chuyu.

Those who can survive in the royal family are all human beings!

His daughter Xi Chuyu couldn't even be happy but she would probably do what his eldest daughter said when she was sent to the palace, and she would end up causing trouble for everyone in the Shangshu Mansion!

"Dad, how can you be so partial to her!"

Xi Chuyu never expected that instead of criticizing Xi Qingyan, who was deliberately looking for trouble, his father would yell at her, his most beloved daughter!

"Okay! Shut up!"

Mr. Xi hates it most when a woman cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself. Now, when his second daughter talks to him in a crying tone, Mr. Xi just feels bored.

"Xi Qingyan, there is something wrong with you too. If you don't stay well in your own garden, what are you doing here in my father's study?"

In order to prevent his younger daughter from continuing to mess around, Master Xi had no choice but to scold his eldest daughter Xi Qingyan.

"I'm here for this dowry list post."

Xi Qingyan placed the roster in front of Master Xi.

"At the beginning, when my father asked me to invite the master of the Valley of Divine Medicine, he promised in front of everyone that all my mother's dowry would be handed over to me for safekeeping."

"Now, my wife has returned part of it, but the remaining land deed of the farm shop has not yet been returned to me!"

"I know that it will not be easy to get the land deed back for a while, so I gave it to Madam at 80% of the market price. Even at such a loss, Madam is still unwilling to redeem it for me. Father, today I

I came to my father’s study just to know who is in charge of the Shangshu Mansion right now?”

"Father, do the words you said in this house still count?"

The list of Xi Qingyan's dowry is clear, and Mr. Xi can know the whole story with just a glance.

Mr. Xi has now come to his senses. The reason why his second daughter Xi Chuyu came to him and made such a fuss today was actually because of the dowry.

"Xi Chuyu, you stay with your mother every day. Why don't you and your mother do what I say?"

Lord Shangshu Xi felt that his authority in Shangshu Mansion had been challenged.

My heart suddenly felt unhappy.

In his opinion, a woman is a woman, and the man is the master of the house and the man is the master of the house. He has given orders, and the lady of the minister has not followed his instructions. Where does this matter put his face as the head of the family?

"Father, according to my inference, this lady probably used all my mother's dowry to support the family, right? However, when she married into the Shangshu Mansion, there were rumors that she had dozens of boxes of dowry. Why is it all gone now?

Could it be that those dowries back then were all fabricated by Madam?"

Xi Qingyan deliberately added fuel to the fire.

"Father, if my wife even lied about the dowry she brought when she married my father, wouldn't she have been lying to my father all along?"

"Madam has now secretly taken my mother's dowry. If this matter is known to outsiders, when the reputation of my father embezzling the late wife's dowry spreads, I am afraid that my father will not be able to raise his head and behave at all outside, right?"

"Xi Qingyan, you are talking nonsense!"
