Xi Qingyan's words greatly disturbed Lord Xi. In order to prevent his reputation from being ruined, Lord Xi finally ordered Mrs. Shangshu to transfer the share that belonged to Xi Qingyan's mother according to the dowry list given by Xi Qingyan.

The dowry was returned intact.

"Miss, you are really amazing!"

"But, miss, where should we put our dowry now that we have such a large yard?"

"My wife and the second lady pawned all their clothes and jewelry this time!"

"If we leave this dowry in Hanlianyuan, the madam and the second young lady who have no money will definitely send people to Hanlianyuan to steal the dowry."

Chuntao was extremely impressed by what their young lady had done.

It's just that the common man is not guilty, and Chuntao also understands the reason why he is guilty of carrying a jade.

"Don't worry, Chuntao, as long as Madam returns my mother's dowry, I will naturally have a place to put these things. They took advantage of my youth and took my mother's dowry from me, but now I am an adult.

No matter what, I will keep this dowry for my mother!"

Xi Qingyan said with confidence.

Although her mother's dowry was very generous, it was nothing compared to the income from the medicines purchased by the Divine Doctor Pavilion.

Xi Qingyan planned to put all these things together with the revenue of the Divine Medical Pavilion.

"Miss, as long as you have an idea, Chuntao won't worry at all!"

Seeing that Xi Qingyan had made arrangements, Chuntao stopped worrying about this matter for her master.

In Hanlianyuan, the masters and servants are in harmony, but in the other Peonyyuan, things are going crazy.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Chuyu had just solved Xi Qingyan's dowry list, and in the blink of an eye, he found that his mother had fallen down when she stood up!

Her mother has always been Xi Chuyu’s backbone.

Now, when she saw that her mother fell ill because of Xi Qingyan's anger, she felt a little more resentment towards Xi Qingyan, that ugly creature with a disfigured face!

"Mother, I will ask my servants to call a doctor for mother! Mother, hold on!"

Xi Chuyu was worried that her mother would be angry with Xi Qingyan, so she quickly wanted to go out and call a doctor.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shangshu, who fell ill, grabbed Xi Chuyu.

"Don't...don't go..."

"Now we, mother and daughter, are so embarrassed. If people outside know that your mother and I were so angry because of repaying the dowry of Xi Qingyan's biological mother, then I, the wife of the minister, will be completely embarrassed!"

Mrs. Shangshu had been operating in the capital for several years before she suppressed the reputation left by Xi Qingyan's biological mother.

Now, old things are brought up again.

By then she will definitely be teased by all the celebrities and ladies in Kyoto!

"But...but mother, you are now so angry that you have fallen ill. If this illness has some good or bad consequences, what will you do if you leave your daughter alone in this Shangshu Mansion?"

Of course, Xi Chuyu was well aware of Madam Shangshu's concerns.

But this matter is no longer something that can be ignored directly.

"Mother, Madam, we don't have to deal with those messy people in Kyoto, but mother, how can you not see a doctor or take medicine when you are sick?"

"My daughter, go find a doctor right now. Mother, don't worry, I won't let you suffer from illness!"

Regardless, Xi Chuyu got up from Mrs. Shangshu's bedside and went to find the doctor.

"Bastard thing!"

"Don't you listen to what mother says now?"

"The face I have worked so hard to maintain over the years is of course more important than my body!"

"Xi Chuyu, if you dare to take a step out of the house today, I will have your legs broken!".

Mrs. Shangshu supported the sick body and grabbed Xi Chuyu.

"Mother!!"

"I was just so angry that I felt dizzy for a moment. It doesn't matter! If

It was you who really went out to look for the doctor, and then you really took my life!"

Mrs. Shangshu said what she said, how could Xi Chuyu dare to go out casually?

At the moment, she can only stay at Madam Shangshu's bedside.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shangshu had no other symptoms except dizziness.

Xi Chuyu's heart gradually became less afraid.

Because Mrs. Shangshu fell ill, Xi Chuyu asked the housekeeper to hand over all the affairs of Shangshu's house to her in order to prevent her mother's reputation from being slandered.

On this first day, Xi Chuyu handled it well.

When Mrs. Shangshu woke up from her illness and saw the affairs handled by Xi Chuyu, she looked at her daughter with admiration.

"My son, I used to think that you would only act coquettishly in front of my mother to please me, but I didn't expect that you actually have some skills in managing the housekeeper's finances!"

Mrs. Shangshu's praise made Xi Chuyu's vanity soar.

She has been suppressed by Xi Qingyan these days, and now she can finally look good in front of her mother. Why is Xi Chuyu unhappy?

"Mother, I have been by your side since childhood. I watched you teach the servants in the courtyard, and I watched you deal with the women in Kyoto."

"Although my daughter is acting coquettishly with you, mother, on the surface, I am actually quietly observing your every move, mother!"

For Xi Chuyu, her mother is the person she admires most.

Her mother was able to become the wife of the Minister of Rites from among so many women in Kyoto, which required extraordinary means.

Her mother is the most powerful woman she has ever seen.

So since she was a child, Xi Chuyu has been imitating her mother's every move.

"She is indeed my daughter!"

Xi Chuyu's words made Mrs. Shangshu feel particularly comforted.

These days, they have been defeated one after another in front of Xi Qingyan. Although she has been holding on and pretending, in fact, the dowry list has emptied all the savings of Madam Shangshu.

She was originally worried about the future, but now she sees hope in her daughter Xi Chuyu.

The good reputation accumulated by the late wife of Shangshufu made her, a second wife who came from behind, suffer a lot.

But first Madam, no matter how strong she is, no matter how popular she is, she is now just a handful of loess in the field!

As for the daughter Xi Qingyan left by the late wife, her face is enough to scare away all the men who come to ask for marriage!

"Chu Yu, okay, my good daughter, all my hopes for the rest of my life are pinned on you."

"You are not only as beautiful as a flower now, but you can also manage all the affairs of the family. Only a woman like you is the kind of wife the royal children need most!"

"Chu Yu, whether we, mother and son, can soar into the sky, it all depends on you from now on!"

"From what I see, mother, you don't have to keep your eyes on King Li. King Li Sulixiao has been marching and fighting outside. He has long forgotten that he is still a prince, a man who fights on the battlefield all day long.

I can’t express too much tenderness to my gentle and lovely daughter.”

"My daughter is so kind, so gentle and considerate, but Prince Li Sulixiao pretends he can't see it. This means that he will definitely not be a good husband in the future."

Madam Shangshu could see that her daughter had a soft spot for King Li Sulixiao, but she was a person who had come before her. Madam Shangshu knew very well whether Sulixiao was interested in her daughter Xi Chuyu.

"A few days ago, my mother and I went to the palace with you to diagnose and treat Concubine Dong Gui. Chu Yu, what do you think of Concubine Dong Gui's son, Your Highness Su Yiting?"

"Mother, I can tell you that the son of Concubine Dong is the most important prince in the heart of the emperor. If you become his wife, you will not only be the princess when the time comes, but when His Highness Su Yiting becomes the prince, you will also be the prince concubine.

, if he eventually becomes the king of a country, then you will be the queen!"

Mrs. Shangshu persuaded her daughter Xi Chuyu.

「

Mother knows that what you have wanted to do most since you were a child is to become a woman that everyone admires. We, mother and daughter, have the same wish, but it is a pity that mother can only become the wife of the Minister of Etiquette in her life, and you, Xi Chuyu, are my favorite.

Proud daughter, your future is infinitely bright!"

Mrs. Shangshu's words made Xi Chuyu eager to give it a try.

There were ripples in my heart.

The desire she had always had for King Li Sulixiao all came from her not wanting to lose to Xi Qingyan!

Why can that ugly Xi Qingyan have a child with the god-like King Li Su Lixiao?

What is it about Xi Chuyu that is inferior to Xi Qingyan, so much so that King Li Sulixiao looks down on her everywhere?

These thoughts have turned into obsessions in Xi Chuyu's heart.

"His Royal Highness Su Yiting is even more outstanding than His Highness King Li. Chu Yu, if you and His Highness Su Yiting get married, King Li Su Lixiao will have to treat you seriously when he sees you!"

Mrs. Shangshu encouraged her daughter Xi Chuyu in a timely manner.

These words made Xi Chuyu completely unable to find Bei...
