As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 130
When Mr. Dou returned to Yilan Garden with a cold face, Xie Xingchen was sitting in the small flower hall drinking tea. Looking at her expression, there was no surprise.

"Auntie didn't agree, right? She has changed a long time ago, and uncle has also changed. Only mother can't understand, and thinks that uncle and aunt are the same as before."

Dou said angrily: "What a white-eyed wolf! Your father lost his life to save your uncle, how could they do this?"

Xie Xingchen said: "What about my dowry? Mom doesn't plan to prepare anything for me to wear? If that happens, I might as well kill myself to avoid the embarrassment of getting married."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Dou said quickly: "Mom only has you as my daughter, so I will naturally prepare everything for you... We have saved a lot over the years, and we will go pick it up tomorrow!"

"Go to the Jade Street and buy some. Whatever you like, my mother has prepared it for you and lets you take it with you as a dowry!"

After hearing this, Xie Xingchen's expression finally softened a little, "I thought I wanted to leave everything to my eldest brother."

"Your eldest brother is far away at the border, so he won't have much use for these."

Dou held Xie Xingchen's hand, "What's more, only if you live a good life can you support your eldest brother. Then we don't have to look at the expressions of the eldest brother and the jealous wife."

"Not bad." Xie Xingchen nodded, with a cold look in his eyes.

Even if King Liang doesn't like her now, she has a child.

This point alone is unmatched by other concubines in Prince Liang's palace.

Concubine Ning and King Zhou also seem to be easy to talk to. If they continue to help me and I work harder, I will definitely be able to secure my position.

However, Chu Nanxuan and Xie Zhaozhao were responsible for everything she has come to today.

These two bastards!
She really couldn't sleep at night if she didn't give them any color.

……

The next day, Mrs. Dou took Xie Xingchen out. First, they went to the Jade Street in the west of the city and bought a lot of jewelry. They were very generous.

I also met some noble ladies in the jade shop, and naturally I couldn't help but give them compliments and congratulations.

No matter how violent King Liang is, he is still a king.

Moreover, he is the vassal king who controls the Sixteen Provinces of Youyun, so his strength cannot be underestimated.

Now Xie Xingchen is like flying up the branches, and many people are fawning over him.

Some ladies also took the initiative to add makeup to her, all of which were nice items.

After buying two carriages with big and small bags, Dou took Xie Xingchen to a place called Mo Baozhai.

The place specializes in selling the four treasures of the study, and the courtyard is usually very deserted.

Dou and Xie Xingchen also walked around and entered through the door of the backyard.

On the street corner not far from Mo Baozhai, Hong Xiu stared sideways for a long time before the mother and daughter came out of Mo Baozhai.

By this time it was already dark and gray, and night had fallen.

Dou and Xie Xingchen chatted and laughed as they got into the carriage and went back to the Duke of Liang's Mansion.

Hong Xiu waited for a long time.

The guys in Mo Bao Zhai loaded three large boxes and put them on the cart.

Hongxiu followed the three carts and watched as the carts delivered the things to Duke Liang's Mansion and then entered Yilan Garden.

Hongxiu went back to Wangyue Tower.

Xie Zhaozhao was very serious about piercing the bronze statue today, so he missed dinner.

Just as he was holding his chopsticks to eat, he heard a very light sound of falling to the ground in the courtyard.

Xie Zhaozhao put down his chopsticks and waited.

After a moment, Hongxiu walked in, "Miss, we know the place." "Where?"

"Mo Baozhai." Hongxiu replied: "The people in the second room have been in for more than an hour in the afternoon. Now three boxes have been sent over there. They look very heavy. The Four Treasures of the Study say that there is no need to prepare so many boxes, and they are not that heavy. That’s it.”

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Then take some time in the evening to see what's in the box, and then ask Lei Xing to go to Mo Baozhai to have a look. Remember to be careful and don't be discovered."

"The servant understands."

……

The next day, Xie Zhaozhao went to have breakfast with Mrs. Yu. When Mrs. Yu mentioned that Mrs. Dou pestered Xie Wei for dowry, her face became very ugly, "She is really not ashamed."

"For so many years, your father has always shown that pretentious and coquettish look, and you don't even realize that you are showing off your ugly face."

"Then dad always turns to you, doesn't he?" Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, "Just treat it as a show, don't be angry with yourself."

Yu said angrily: "How come your dad always turns to me? He's just trying to make peace with me."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Actually, I can understand my father's thoughts. He feels guilty. It is inevitable that he should be more tolerant of this orphan and widowed mother... and father has to deal with the open and covert attacks outside."

"Those dangers are something we cannot sympathize with." Xie Zhaozhao said seriously: "Mom knows how hard dad has worked, so no matter how noisy the second wife is these years, as long as it doesn't go too far, you always turn a blind eye. Isn’t it?”

Mrs. Yu snorted, "I'm too lazy to care. The Xie family is not short of money. If I can spend some money to shut up those two, then I will spend some money. I don't want to tangle with them."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao smiled.

No matter how fiery Mr. Yu's personality is, he always has a gentle side in his heart. Because of Xie Wei's guilt towards his second wife, he has tolerated his second wife all these years.

Xie Weize knew in his heart that Mrs. Yu had suffered some grievances for him, and he seemed to be in harmony with him, but in fact he was also concerned about Mrs. Yu's mood most of the time.

If he had just gone for the second bedroom, the whole family would have been turned upside down.

Hongxiu appeared in Chunhe Building at this time, "Miss."

"Are you going out for something?" Yu asked her daughter, "If you haven't been studying medicine with Mr. Miao recently, why are you going out again?"

Xie Zhaozhao's four maids.

Hong Xiu and Hong Xia Hui Wu were usually the only ones who would follow Xie Zhaozhao when he went out.

The other two, Xianggui and Xiangrong, are personal maids who take care of daily life.

Now that Hong Xiu is here, Yu can't help but guess that she is going out.

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head, "I shouldn't go out today. I just asked Hong Xiu to help prepare some things a few days ago. I think I'm ready."

"What is it?" Mrs. Yu asked, "Isn't it in the house?"

"Yeah." Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "Golden needle."

Yu didn't say anything more, and then asked about studying medicine.

Xie Zhaozhao chatted with Yu for a while before leaving Chunhe Building.

Hongxiu lowered her head in silence and followed. As soon as she entered the corridor, she lowered her voice and said, "I'm sure, the three boxes that came up from Mo Baozhai last night are all jewelry and gold and silver jewelry."

"Lei Xing visited Mo Baozhai last night and found that it is not an ordinary place selling the Four Treasures of the Study. The boxes in the warehouse are filled with fine silks and satins. There are also two locked cellars in the backyard."

"He was afraid of alerting others, so he didn't move."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly and said: "It seems that this Mo Baozhai is where they hide their private treasury? It's really hard for my second aunt. I sent people to keep an eye on her for so long, but she didn't show any clues."

"If I hadn't rushed to prepare a dowry for Xie Xingchen this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hide it for how long."
