Chapter 87 Dowry

Xie Hanyue really couldn't understand how Xie Qingran had become so sharp-tongued.

She was speechless with shock, and Lu Jinzhi, feeling guilty, pulled Xie Hanyue away.

Xie Hanyue chased after him all the way out, looking at Lu Jinzhi with confusion: "Brother Jinzhi, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just tripped and fell. I'll go see a doctor myself." Lu Jinzhi just wanted to get Xie Hanyue back quickly so he could settle accounts with Xie Qingran!

However, Xie Hanyue was very perceptive and immediately sensed Lu Jinzhi's impatience and perfunctory attitude, something that had never happened before.

She frowned, looking at Lu Jinzhi with some dissatisfaction and aggrieved expression: "Brother Jinzhi, do you hate me?"

"No."

Looking at Xie Hanyue's aggrieved appearance, Lu Jinzhi felt a pang of heartache. He sighed helplessly and said, "How could I dislike you? I just didn't want you to see me in such an embarrassing state. I always have to maintain a certain image in front of you!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Hanyue finally felt relieved. She smiled mischievously, shook Lu Jinzhi's arm, and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jinzhi, you look good even like this. I won't dislike you."

Unfortunately, Lu Jinzhi was not in the mood to listen to any of this. He simply smiled faintly and then escorted Xie Hanyue back to her room.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jinzhi turned around and returned to Rose Garden.

"You shameless bastard, you took the money and didn't do the job?"

When Lu Jinzhi opened his mouth, his words still carried the taste of blood.

this……

Seeing Lu Jinzhi's disheveled appearance, Xie Qingran did not hesitate at all, and took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose.

She looked at Lu Jinzhi with a half-smile, then said calmly, "What did I say?"

"You!" Lu Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. His eyebrows furrowed tightly. How had this woman become so cunning?

Xie Qingran didn't say anything wrong. She didn't say anything, but that handkerchief!

"Let me tell you, Yu Niang is a simple-minded person, you'd better not mess with her!"

"If anyone finds out about this, even if you really marry Xiao Jue, I'll still kill you!"

Lu Jinzhi stared fiercely at Xie Qingran, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He looks exactly the same as he did in his previous life when he was thrown into a beggar's den.

When Xie Qingran saw this face, she was reminded of the humiliation she suffered in her previous life. Without the slightest hesitation, she punched him hard in the nose.

"you!"

"Xie Qingran!"

Having been beaten twice by the same woman, Lu Jinzhi's already limited patience completely vanished.

He covered his nose and pointed at Xie Qingran: "Do you want to die?"

"You can try and see who dies first."

"roll!"

Xie Qingran picked up the fruit plate on the table and smashed it hard at Lu Jinzhi, becoming somewhat deranged.

Seeing this, Lu Jinzhi was also stunned. He always saw Xie Qingran as indifferent, but he never expected that an indifferent person could be so crazy when she went mad...

"You should leave now!"

Baozhu got a little anxious and pulled Lu Jinzhi outside.

She didn't want Xie Qingran to stay angry.

Baozhu glared at Lu Jinzhi with displeasure, forcefully shoved him away, and said unhappily, "Lu Jinzhi, don't come here again. My mistress doesn't like you at all and won't marry you. She said herself that she only likes the young master. Don't keep bothering me!"

"How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?"

Lu Jinzhi already had a bad attitude towards Xie Qingran, and now he was even less likely to treat Baozhu well.

Baozhu wasn't afraid at all. She snorted and said sullenly, "Even if I were a worthless person, I wouldn't bother and humiliate a young lady for no reason. My young lady has always been very indifferent. You must have some skill to make her this angry. Now get out of here!"

After saying that, Baozhu turned around and went back into her room.

She knew very well that she shouldn't have said those words; she was just too angry, so she couldn't help but blurt them out.

Seeing Baozhu's stubborn look, Lu Jinzhi spat and said, "Like master, like servant!"

Back in the room, Baozhu looked at Xie Qingran with a somewhat aggrieved expression. She knew very well that Xie Qingran must have overheard something she said.

She knelt beside Xie Qingran and whispered, "Miss, I'm sorry, did I say something wrong again?"

"No, you're absolutely right." Xie Qingran helped Baozhu up. By this time, Xie Qingran had calmed down. She looked at Baozhu apologetically and patted her head: "Did I scare you just now?"

"Miss, I'm not afraid of you." Baozhu lowered her head. "If it were me, I would also change my expression. This Young Master Lu is such a persistent and hateful ghost!"

Xie Qingran smiled and said calmly, "Indeed, she's annoying."

"However, I heard that General Zhao Yuanqi is coming back soon!"

"I heard he's handsome and has already achieved great military exploits at a young age. I wonder if he's really that amazing?"

Baozhu, being carefree, quickly changed the subject.

What they didn't notice was that Xie Qingran clenched her fists tightly after hearing this person's name.

Her face was somewhat gloomy, but she still smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I don't know if it's really that amazing."

Upon hearing this, Baozhu looked at Xie Qingran with some curiosity: "Miss, you said you liked the young master's glorious military achievements and awe-inspiring presence, but now, General Zhao is just like the young master back then. Why don't you wait for him to return and see?"

This Zhao Yuanqi was also the engagement partner that Wang had mentioned before, which is why Baozhu said that.

Xie Qingran glanced at Baozhu and said indifferently, "In my heart, Zhao Yuanqi is not even worth a finger of Ajue."

Upon hearing this, Hongshan, who was guarding Xie Qingran from the shadows, was so excited that he almost fell off the roof beam.

He was deeply shocked by these words, and wondered if the Crown Prince would be pleased to hear them.

Unfortunately, the prince couldn't hear it.

After confirming that there was no danger here, Hongshan quietly left and returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Although Wang was reluctant, she still managed to compile a decent dowry list and sent it over.

Seeing Xie Qingran sitting there quietly embroidering, Wang's heart softened for a moment: "Ahem."

"Mother is here?" Xie Qingran put down her embroidery and immediately stood up to greet her mother.
