Chapter 94 Dowry Dispute
Gu Hengyu saw Xie Chen's thoughts, and did not hide it: "My mother is a goddess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but my father is the general who led the army to attack the Northern Qi Dynasty."

"The first time I saw you was when my mother left the Marquis Mansion to go to the Northern Qi Dynasty. After the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, she committed suicide in front of my father."

When Gu Hengyu said this, his tone was the same as usual, but Xie Chen could hear his sadness.

One side is the country and the other is the family. Thinking about it, it would be difficult for Master Gu to make a choice back then, otherwise he wouldn't have never married again.

"Is that why you didn't enter the officialdom before?" Xie Chen suddenly thought of this matter and asked.

Gu Hengyu nodded and said, "But I figured it out later."

It wasn't Gu Hengyu's own thinking, but Xie Chen needed him, and he would be there.

Xie Chen thought that he asked Gu Hengyu to help Yan Qing'an on the matter of Sun Shilang, and also knew that Gu Hengyu's current official status was largely due to himself, so he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.

"Sorry, I didn't know before." Xie Chen felt guilty.

Gu Hengyu laughed, even if he doesn't become an official now, someone will push him to enter the officialdom in the future.

"Since I'm sorry, then make me a wish." Gu Hengyu said to Xie Chen.

Xie Chen was taken aback, when did Gu Hengyu learn to ask for things from himself, but he still asked, "What?"

Gu Hengyu took a deep look at Xie Chen, but Xie Chen couldn't guess the meaning in Gu Hengyu's eyes.

"There are no secrets between us." Gu Hengyu said.

Gu Hengyu has always kept no secrets from Xie Chen, whether it is Chunfenglou or anything else, he will tell the truth, revealing his trump card.

But Xie Chen was not. Gu Hengyu was worried about the fight with his aunt and the dangerous palace banquet where he lured the third prince into the game.

Xie Chen didn't speak, Gu Hengyu just stood in front of Xie Chen and looked at her.

I don't know how long it took before I waited for a word of thanks from Chen.

"it is good."

The voice was jerky.

Gu Hengyu smiled immediately, rubbed Xie Chen's soft black hair, and said in a good mood: "It's getting late, let's go back."

Xie Chen glanced at the time, and it was indeed time for him to return home.

On the way back to Xie's mansion, Xie Chen felt a little guilty when he thought about Gu Hengyu's abnormality today.

Did he discover his secret?

Impossible, even if he was aware of it, how could he believe in such a strange thing.

In order to calm himself down, Xie Chen read books and account books until late at night, and went to rest when he couldn't stand it anymore.

But in the early morning of the second day, an unexpected visitor came to Xie Chen's yard.

"Chen'er, did you just wake up?" Aunt Jing asked with concern.

Xie Chen was still sleeping when Aunt Jing came, and was hurriedly woken up by Yinhuan.

Xie Chen also knows that he must be sleepy-eyed and messy-haired now.

Xie Chen smiled embarrassedly: "Last night, I read more books and woke up a little later, which made my aunt laugh."

When Aunt Jing heard this, she remembered something, with a sad face on her face: "If Wan'er loves learning half as much as you, it would be great, and I won't be reduced to the current situation."

Xie Chen was a little puzzled. According to what happened in the palace, Aunt Jing must have hated herself to the core at this moment, how could she find herself today, and even brought up Xie Wan on her own initiative?

Xie Chen buried the doubts in his heart, and said with a smirk on his face: "What are you talking about, sister Wan'er is about to become the third prince's side concubine, and it's too late for everyone to envy her!"

It is indeed an honor for Xie Chen to lift Xie Wan to a high place, but everyone in the capital knows how Xie Wan became the third prince's side concubine.

These words fell into Aunt Jing's ears as a mockery, and reminded her of her daughter's embarrassing incident at the palace banquet.

But thinking of the purpose of coming today, Aunt Jing endured her disgust towards Xie Chen, and followed her words: "Isn't it, it's too late for everyone to envy you."

After finishing speaking, there was a look of embarrassment on her face, she sighed and said to Xie Chen: "But you also know that my aunt's status is low, and now she doesn't like your father, poor Wan'er will get married in half a month and she doesn't have much dowry."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Chen immediately knew what Aunt Jing was thinking.

In her previous life, Aunt Jing also focused on her own dowry.

Xie Chen's dowry was very generous, all of which were left to him by Princess Yuning, and most of them were good things brought from the palace.

It's just that when I got married in my previous life, I was deceived by Aunt Jing and Xie Wan, and gave half of the dowry to them, and Prime Minister Xie took a portion from Xie Chen's remaining dowry and left it to Xie Wan.

At that time, many people in the capital knew that Xie Chen married the third prince because he lost his virginity, and seeing Xie Chen's thin dowry made people outside laugh for several years.

Now Aunt Jing wants to repeat the old trick, but how can she be so sure that she will give her the dowry?

Is it difficult....
Sure enough, seeing Xie Chen hesitated after listening to his words, Aunt Jing cursed secretly in her heart, and said, "Yesterday I went to ask your father, and your father told me to come find you."

Xie Chen immediately understood that even though Prime Minister Xie was angry with Xie Wan and disappointed in Xie Wan, his friendship with Aunt Jing could not be wiped out in a few days, especially Aunt Jing was still pregnant with his child.

Thinking of the child in Aunt Jing's belly, Xie Chen couldn't help but glance at Aunt Jing's belly.

Xie Chen's glance made Aunt Jing retreat subconsciously while stroking her stomach. She still hasn't forgotten what happened to Xie Chen and her before entering the palace.

Seeing that Aunt Jing was panicked, Xie Chen showed a smile on his face: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I just think that father treats you well, and when the child in your womb is born, father will treat him better."

Listening to Xie Chen's words, Aunt Jing felt that there was no problem, and her face was a little smug.

"It's just about the dowry..." Xie Chen looked embarrassed.

Aunt Jing thought that Xie Chen didn't want to give it to her, so she took out Prime Minister Xie and said, "Chen'er, you and Wan'er are also sisters. Although your father asked me to ask you, in fact, you have no choice."

What Aunt Jing said clearly, from childhood to adulthood, as long as it was what Xie Wan wanted, Xie Chen would definitely give it to her.

After listening to Aunt Jing's seemingly persuasive but threatening words, Xie Chen showed a smile on his face: "In that case, then Auntie and Father go to the palace to ask the Empress to ask for it."

"What!" Aunt Jing was shocked, and her tone was a little annoyed.

But what Xie Chen was talking about was the empress. Aunt Jing dared not disrespect her. She suppressed her anger and said in a low voice, "You gave the queen the dowry left by Princess Yuning?"

She remembered that the relationship between Xie Chen and the queen was not so good before, but when she thought of the interaction between the queen and Xie Chen on the day of the palace banquet, and the way the queen defended Xie Chen, she couldn't help feeling cold.

Xie Chen nodded lightly, acquiescing to Aunt Jing's words.
