Jiang Yuzhu was tired and didn't want to bother with Xie Zhao anymore.

However, Xie Zhao obviously didn't want to let her go. The corners of his lips curved slightly as he asked, "Actually, there's another real reason."

"What's the reason?"

Jiang Yuzhu was about to leave when she stopped out of curiosity.

Xie Zhao did not hide it: "Although our family is wealthy, we can't afford to support a second child."

After Wei Jing came in, she still spent Xie Zhao's money.

Xie Zhao spoke seriously, finding it very amusing to tease Jiang Yuzhu.

Obviously it sounds absurd, but Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but believe it!

"Xie Zhao, are you blaming me for spending your money?"

Jiang Yuzhu was very angry and was about to argue with Xie Zhao.

She has been alone in an empty house for three years. How can the time she has spent be compensated by a little money?

The original owner spent her own dowry, and it was only after Jiang Yuzhu entered the book that she started spending Xie Zhao's money.

If Xie Zhaoruo is so unreasonable, Jiang Yuzhu will have to figure out the compensation she deserves.

"Yuzhu, you misunderstood your husband."

Xie Zhao took out a willow leaf jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Jiang Yuzhu.

"This is not the property of the Xie family but my husband's personal property. It is deposited regularly into the Wantong Bank every year. The jade pendant is the receipt for withdrawing the money."

The words "Yuanhe" are engraved on the jade pendant, representing Xie Zhao's identity.

From now on, the voucher will be kept in Jiang Yuzhu's hands and she can use it as she pleases.

Jiang Yuzhu's eyes flashed. Is there such a good thing?

Money makes the world go round. Jiang Yuzhu was overjoyed, but she suppressed her joy and asked in a serious tone, "How much silver is in there?"

"I haven't checked, but there must be hundreds of thousands of taels."

Jiang Yuzhu was very satisfied with the number Xie Zhao said. Bribing her with money was very reliable.

"Master, if you have any troubles in the future, just tell me. We are husband and wife, and we should share the joys and sorrows."

Jiang Yuzhu's attitude changed 180 degrees. She had to wear such a precious token around her neck.

Seeing this, Xie Zhao took the initiative to step forward to help.

Not far away, the people standing and watching were deeply shocked by this scene.

Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu are showing their affection to the point where they don't care about anyone else?

Soon someone reported this scene to Wei Jing. Wei Jing took a deep breath. Jiang Yuzhu thought she had just let it go. It was impossible. She would not give up!

Before dinner, Wei Jing happened to meet Jiang Yuzhu.

Wei Jing felt extremely upset after making a fool of herself today.

Unexpectedly, the Wei family did not blame her, and Dad said he would find a way to make this happen.

At worst, he could sacrifice his reputation. As long as the Empress Dowager and the Emperor issued an order, Xie Zhao would have to obey even if he refused.

"Jiang Yuzhu, don't be too happy too soon!"

Without outsiders around, Wei Jing revealed her sarcasm and harshness. Over the years, there was nothing she couldn't get, and Xie Zhao was no exception.

Jiang Yuzhu yawned. "What are you talking about, Miss Wei? A married woman should obey her husband. Just call me Madam Xie. Calling me by my full name is not polite."

Wei Jing was so angry that her scalp was numb, but she had no way to refute it.

Faced with provocation, Jiang Yuzhu seemed indifferent.

Wei Jing likes to do small things behind the scenes, and Jiang Yuzhu will not alert her before finding out the cause of Zhang Wanyi's death.

When the lights are on, the sky becomes dim.

The hunting officials returned with a large amount of prey.

Xiao Shelong was very pleased and rewarded all civil and military officials with a whole lamb banquet and sent people to light a bonfire.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager led the team, with officials and their families each occupying half of the circle.

As the sound of stringed instruments rang out, the beautiful dancers in the palace appeared.

The dancer has a hot body, wearing an embroidered and hollowed-out purple dress on the upper body and a long skirt that drags on the ground on the lower body.

Her waist was covered with tassels, and as she danced, her slender waist was faintly visible. The dancer boldly flirted with the official.

The songs and dances were so exciting that some ladies were too conservative to watch and lowered their heads shyly.

The dancer's figure was like a snake, with a certain charm, and the officials present could not take their eyes off her.

Jiang Yuzhu looked for a while, then moved her gaze to Xie Zhao, wondering if the cold and abstinent Lord Xie had been bewitched?

Xie Zhao seemed to be concentrating, but in fact he was distracted.

He noticed an inquiring gaze, turned his head slightly, raised his glass, and responded to Jiang Yuzhu.

The Queen Mother saw this and laughed, "Yuzhu, it's you who's wrong. Lord Xie was just watching the singing and dancing, he didn't do anything else. Is it necessary to be so strict?"

Jiang Yuzhu was at a loss for words and responded with two awkward laughs.

Then, she turned her gaze away and dared not look at Xie Zhao again, for she was afraid that this guy would do something weird again.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed.

The two leading dancers suddenly pulled out hairpins from their heads, looked at each other, and then ran towards the emperor and the empress dowager: "You bastards of the Great Qi, give me your lives!"

The two men's figures were like a gust of wind, and the Queen Mother was caught off guard, and her face lost all color.

Jiang Yuzhu had been reminded by Shen Zhilan in advance, so she remained calm.

There is only one assassin here, and the only way to stay safe is to stay away from the Queen Mother.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu winked at her mother Chen and her elder sister-in-law, suggesting that they should save their lives quickly.

"Quick, protect the Queen Mother!"

Jiang Yuzhu shouted and was about to run away when someone kicked her. Jiang Yuzhu was tripped by her dress and happened to fall beside the empress dowager.

At this time, the assassin had already approached the Queen Mother.

Seeing this, Wei Jing knew that her chance had come.

Only by giving up and gaining can you get what you want!

Wei Jing bit her lip and rushed directly towards the Queen Mother, trying to block the knife with her body. If she was rewarded for saving the emperor, she would ask the Queen Mother for marriage and she would have a chance to marry Xie Zhao.

Jiang Yuzhu climbed up nimbly and was slightly surprised to see Wei Jing rushing towards her.

Wei Jing is so cruel, she really dares to gamble with her life!

I'm sorry then!
