After reconciliation, abandoned wives and cubs farm the fields

Chapter 255 Finding the Biggest Backer
"After so many years, it's a bit embarrassing for you to sort out the dowry all at once. Well, I'll give you three days. After three days, I'm bound to return to Tongzhou with the dowry. Let's say goodbye." Su Nanzhen got up.

Xiao Baiye had already forgotten how to treat guests, he just stared blankly at Su Nanzhen's back, and suddenly felt frightened, this is not something people her age would do.

On the other side, when Mrs. Xiao learned of Su Nanzhen's true intention of coming, she almost turned her back in anger. She was angry that Su Nanzhen wanted to get 250 taels and wanted to get back the dowry.

Among those dowries, one Zhuangzi and three shops were the most valuable. The Xiao family also relied on these three shops to maintain their dignity, and some things had already been given away.

"Go, go and call Bai Ye over." Mrs. Xiao said with difficulty, holding her breath.

Mrs. Xiao looked at Mrs. Xiao's uncomfortable appearance, and felt a little relieved in her heart. It was indeed more uncomfortable for her to spit out what she ate than to kill her.

Although she didn't like Su Nanzhen, but seeing her mother-in-law deflated in Su Nanzhen's hands, Mrs. Xiao still gave her a high look.

Seeing her mother-in-law looking at her, Mrs. Xiao quickly lowered her head.

Mrs. Xiao saw her low-browed and pleasing-eyed look, and she calmed down a little. She should have married a wife as obedient as she was for her son. She shouldn't have gone to the Su family back then, and let her give birth to such a rebellious person as Su Nanzhen. female.

And she managed to calm down a little, and when she saw her son's distraught appearance, she didn't feel angry again, "She really said that? Just give 250 taels of silver and want to get back those dowry?"

Xiao Baiye looked at her in a daze, as if he didn't understand what she was saying.

"I'm asking you if she wants to exchange 250 taels for her mother's dowry?" Mrs. Xiao yelled as she covered her stinging chest.

"250 taels? No, it's 750 taels." Xiao Baiye retorted subconsciously.

"The 500 taels was what I gave her back then." Mrs. Xiao stared at him, gnashing her teeth.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Baiye and Mrs. Xiao were both stunned.

Xiao Baiqing came back to honor his mother, and when he heard this, he quickly asked, "Mother, what happened? Brother and sister-in-law, are you making your mother angry again?"

Mrs. Xiao didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so she told him the reason for Su Nanzhen's visit, looked at his panicked face secretly gloating, and comforted him, "Mother hasn't agreed to this matter yet."

Of course, she can't tolerate whether she agrees or not. Even if she is divorced, a woman can still take her dowry away. It is not uncommon for Mrs. Xiao to withhold her dowry, but she is the first one in Yanjing.

Suing the officials for this kind of matter is a sure thing, but at that time the late emperor was furious and the Su family was in trouble, and Mrs. Su had no support, so she didn't dare to sue the officials, for fear of hurting her brother and mother.

Mrs. Xiao probably relied on this point to hold her back, and sent her away with 500 taels of silver, but Mrs. Xiao never dreamed that there would be a Su Nanzhen to break the deadlock.

Xiao Baiqing couldn't accept this fact, and when he thought of taking out what he got, he felt flustered and uncomfortable, "Brother, aren't you proficient in the law? You should quickly think of a way, who would appreciate the things she brought, embarrassing I have worked hard for many years to get what I am now, but I can't just take advantage of her like this."

Mrs. Xiao twitched her lips. She didn't know who was crying in front of her mother-in-law about how hard it was to make a living, and even tricked her into investing money in it. Fortunately, she came from Xie's house, so she knew his tricks so she wouldn't be tricked by him. brought a rich dowry.

Not to mention their cursing and anger, Su Nanzhen felt extremely relaxed, and finally came to this side. She asked Ah Wu to keep an eye on Xiao's reaction, and come back to inform her whenever there was news.

Ah Wu listened to the people of the Xiao family speak bad things about the future mistress of the Hou Mansion, and endured it again and again, until he heard that they planned to fall ill collectively so that the speech officer could take a copy of Su Nanzhen, and then hurried back to report.

The youngest daughter of the Xiao family married He Yanzhang, the speech officer. Mrs. Xiao is sure that with her son-in-law's ability, Su Nanzhen can't afford to go around, and it would be best if even the title of the county lord is revoked.

"It depends on how arrogant you are." Ah Wu euphemistically relayed Mrs. Xiao's little plan.

Su Nanzhen smiled, and still had time to enter the palace.

However, she only entered the palace after confirming that the Xiao family had invited a doctor, and Su Nanzhen borrowed someone from the Empress Dowager only after confirming that the crabapple tree was expected to recover.

"Doctor? Who's sick?" The Empress Dowager asked in surprise, her complexion didn't look like she was sick.

"It's ashamed to say that it happened because of me." Su Nanzhen hesitated for a moment, and told the Empress Dowager about her going to Xiao's house to ask for a dowry.

"I just thought that my mother didn't have to worry about my dowry, so I went looking for it as soon as my forehead got hot. If they were angry with me, it would be my fault. It is also true that the Empress Dowager is a talisman."

"I didn't expect that the Ai family can be used as a talisman." The Empress Dowager smiled and said to Nanny Gui, "The Ai family will fulfill your filial piety. Let Imperial Doctor Tian follow her to Xiao's house."

Nanny Gui immediately complied, and went to the Imperial Hospital in person to pass on the order of the Empress Dowager to order Royal Physician Tian to follow Su Nanzhen to Xiao's house.

Tian Yuyi is the empress dowager's confidant, Xiao Baiye saw him coming to Xiao's house overnight with Su Nanzhen, and immediately realized that he was in a bad situation, and he almost recovered from his illness immediately.

"Master Xiao really doesn't need Tian to take a look?" Tian Yuyi gave Xiao Baiye a cold look, and asked slowly.

"No, no, it's just a small problem, really no need." Xiao Baiye waved his hands repeatedly.

"Look and ask, don't say anything else, Mr. Xiao is too angry, it hurts your body." Tian Yuyi looked at him for a moment, and told him with conscience.

Xiao Baiye secretly took a look at Su Nanzhen who was following Tian Yuyi, seeing this evil girl, could he not be angry!

Xiao Baiye is not the only patient in the Xiao family.

Mrs. Xiao saw that Su Nanzhen dared to come, and brought the imperial doctor, a ready-made patient who was in a hurry.

This kind of disease is what Imperial Physician Tian is best at. After a few injections, Mrs. Xiao can't pretend to be dead. When she wakes up, she can't even point at Su Nanzhen and talk.

This question is worthy of his research. I heard that there is another patient in the Xiao family, but he is not in a hurry. Doctor Tian is busy with work, so he had to let the less sick wait a little longer.

Xiao Baiye looked at Su Nanzhen, and was so angry that his eyes burst out. He didn't know if the servant went to his brother-in-law's house to convey his meaning, but he couldn't deceive his brother-in-law.

It seemed that the Empress Dowager wanted to support Su Nanzhen, and his brother-in-law would not be able to please him by standing up at this time, and he knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't stop what his mother wanted to do.

Xiao Baiye beckoned to Su Nanzhen.

Su Nanzhen pointed to herself.

Pretending, still pretending, Xiao Baiye gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Tian Yuyi, you have to save Mrs. Xiao back, and I will thank you very much." Su Nanzhen sincerely asked.
