The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 39 The arrogant betrothal gift
"No, no, no, it's a complete misunderstanding." Marquis Wenxin's face turned red and white, "I'm just hiring Madam Lu's niece and nephew today, and it has nothing to do with Miss Lu."

"Oh, then Mr. Lu's visit today has nothing to do with Miss Lu?"

The thin but strong fingers tapped on the coffee table, which made some people's livers almost attack.

"Yes, it doesn't matter. I have already sent the betrothal gift. I have something else to do. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, takes his leave."

Xie Zhiyan spoke, and Wen Xinhou, who had just lifted up the edge of his robe and was about to run away, froze in his hands.

"Marquis Lu, don't leave in a hurry. Who is more honorable, the betrothal gift brought by the official or the one you sent to the Xie family?"

No one has ever dared to humiliate him in public, and he was so angry that he said, "You are so outrageous, can you stop me! You, a eunuch, dare to scream in front of me!"

The whole room was shocked.

Lu Wan stared at the jade face with wide eyes.

No wonder...

His face is so white and smooth, he turns out to be a eunuch!
It's a pity that he has a good figure and a good face.

"It's so dirty to ask eunuchs to give betrothal gifts." A thin voice floated out softly, which was particularly harsh in the silent hall.

Lu Wan's face sank, "Cousin, Mr. Yan is my husband's best friend, and you say nothing about it? You are so rude!"

Yu Churong wanted to say something else, but Xie Zhiyan's cold and piercing eyes glanced at him, making his neck shrink in fear.

Most of the senior officials in the Imperial City Department are eunuchs and hold arrogant positions.

Yan Yunhe is indeed an eunuch, but he has been in the Imperial City Division for ten years and is now in charge of most of the Imperial City Division. He is notorious for being ruthless and cruel to people.

Even the distinguished family kept a respectful distance from him and tried their best not to offend him.

Therefore, no one dared to call him a eunuch to his face.

Xie Zhiyan glanced around coldly, and a dozen pairs of eyes looked at him tremblingly.

The pair of glazed eyes suddenly smiled, and his tone was neither urgent nor slow, word for word, "Your Majesty personally appointed this official, is Marquis Wenxin questioning your Majesty?"

Marquis Wenxin was stunned.

The hat is bigger!
Yu Churong saw that Marquis Wenxin's face turned black, and no one came forward to help him. If she took the risk, Marquis Wenxin would definitely look down upon her.

After thinking about it, she endured the pain in her back, and Yingying stepped forward to say blessing, "Master Yan, Mr. Lu Hou is sending a betrothal gift to the daughter of the second wife of the Xie family. Please don't make it difficult..."

Xie Zhiyan lowered his head and adjusted his sword sleeves.

A strong wind blew.

Snapped!
Yu Churong's already shaky body was swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and then landed heavily on the one-foot-high threshold, hanging on her waist.

Click.

There was a shrill scream, mixed with the sound of bones breaking, and then there was no sound.

"You dare to interrupt anything!" Cang Lang looked coldly and wiped his hands on his robe, as if he had just touched something very dirty.

Xiangzhi kept supporting Yu Churong with both hands, staring blankly at her empty hands.

It took a long time to react and pounce on her. The cousin was hanging on the threshold in a strange posture and had fainted.

She was so frightened that she couldn't help her. She wanted to cry but couldn't help her. She was at a loss.

No one in the room dared to say anything, except Xie Zhiyan who laughed jokingly.

"It's a dirty thing. If it dies, it will be thrown into the grave. If it's not dead, train it properly so as not to tire out the whole Lu family."

Mrs. Lu kicked Lu Shanyuan hard, gritted her teeth, and lowered her voice: "Don't let people take it away yet, it's a shameful thing!"

Lu Shanyuan came to his senses and quickly ordered people to lift him away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he was lifted up, he let out a shrill scream, and then fainted from the pain. The servants were so frightened that they did not dare to move.

Xie Zhiyan said slowly, "Master Lu, do you need me to cut it into two pieces and then carry it down?"

"Ah ah ah, Lord Bu Laoyan." Lu Shanyuan was so frightened that his face turned green, and the servants quickly got a wooden board to put him on and carry him away.

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Master Yan, you should hurry up and have the betrothal gift list read out, so as not to keep the future prince's wife waiting for a long time."

If this continues, it will be time to hold a funeral. After all, it was Xie Zhiyan who gave the betrothal gift to his wife, which was unlucky, wasn't it?
The viciousness of Yan Yunhe and his men did not give Marquis Wenxin any face. He was angry, angry and afraid, so he had to sit back and say nothing.

"Read it." Xie Zhiyan waved his hand casually.

Cang Qiong stepped forward holding the gift list, unfolded the two-foot-long red silk scroll, and read aloud.

"The gift is five thousand gold ingots, a box of gold leaves, thirty top-quality mink, wolf, tiger, bear, and leopard skins each, two hundred top-quality east pearls, two peeled jade mountains, one box of peeled red jade, and one box of peeled yellow jade. Two three-foot-high fire corals, top-quality Shu brocade, tapestry, satin, soft smoke, etc., a total of twenty pieces...a total of ten loads."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Lu Wan was stunned.

Such a simple, crude and arrogant betrothal gift is really unheard of.

The gemstones are sent directly from the peeled and intact rough stones, and all of them are rare and huge-sized rough stones. It is estimated that one piece is worth at least a thousand gold.

Not to mention a whole box of Dongzhu, a whole box full of gold leaves...

The value of these ten gifts was more than three times as much as the previous thirty-six betrothal gifts of the Xie Mansion.

Lu Wan did not expect that the eldest son, Prince Xie, was so rich. Then why did the Lu family live in such poverty in his previous life?

Could it be that... Xie Zhiyan didn't marry a ghost wife, and Yan Yunhe didn't hand over his huge wealth.

Yes, in the later period, Xie Zhiyan’s mother, Mrs. Lu, was taken out of the house and lived in a temple. As for where she actually lived, who knows?

With this kind of wealth, who would want to be bullied in the Lu Mansion?

Lu Wan figured it out, with a clear look on her face.

After she entered the palace, all these things were taken care of by her mother-in-law. She could do whatever she wanted with them, including renting a royal temple for her to clean and repair. After all, she took advantage of her status as his son's wife.

After thinking about it, Lu Wan's expression dimmed.

Xie Zhiyan saw the little girl's expression changing unpredictably. He shook his head for a while, tilted his head to think, and seemed to have thought it through for a while. In the end, it was calm, and he didn't look like he was overjoyed with the huge wealth.

Could it be that he disliked the substandard betrothal gift?
He is a grown man, but he doesn't know how to arrange betrothal gifts. His time is short, and he doesn't know how to make these things into finished products such as beaded crowns, heads, faces, and clothes.

I actually wanted to buy the finished product directly, and I went to pick it out specially. I felt that the material was not as good as my own, so I simply brought it over as is.

From now on, if she wants to make a beaded crown, headpiece, skirt, or shoes, it's up to her.

Isn't this bad?
Hey, the little girl is really troublesome.

Qianqiong closed the gift list, walked to Lu Wan, held it in both hands and handed it over, "Miss Lu, please accept the gift list."

Lu Wan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it and hold it in her hand.

No matter what, Xie Zhiyan gave him enough dignity, and she was very grateful.

Lu Wan stepped forward and bowed politely to Li Haoyu and Yan Yunhe, her eyes turning red, "Lu Wan, thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and thank you, Mr. Yan, for sending the betrothal gift to your late husband."

The girl's voice flowed, and her eyes turned red as she spoke, "Lu Wan misses people when she sees things, and she is somewhat comforted by missing her late husband."

Seeing things and missing people? Missing your late husband?
Why is the little girl so thick-skinned?

The 'Dead Husband' was very unnatural, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his lips were pursed unnaturally, and he lowered his head to avoid looking at the fake little girl.

This small movement was keenly captured by Lu Wan.

...Why do you feel that the eunuch dislikes her?
Lu Wan glanced at him quickly and saw that he had his head lowered, his thin lips hanging like a knife under his nose, and he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids to look at her.

The jade-carved face made no secret of its disgust.

Lu Wan was baffled.

It's not like marrying him, why would he dislike it?

Is it possible that he dislikes her for Xie Zhiyan?

No matter what, the person is dead anyway, and it’s impossible for those dead bones to jump out and object.
