Chapter 79 She said you said it, could it be false?
"How could that be? In fact, as long as you send someone to deliver a message, I will come out to see you." Qin Zhuoyan helped Zhou Baili wipe her tears with pity, forgetting all her previous resentment and dissatisfaction towards her.
I have to say that Zhou Baili is very good at moving people's hearts with her appearance and tears.
"I...can't. The Zhou family is in turmoil, and if I see Your Highness too much, I will cause trouble for Your Highness."
Zhou Baili sat down on the soft blanket beside Qin Zhuoyan. This way, she would not sit higher than Qin Zhuoyan, which would make him feel uncomfortable.
"What's going on? Has someone started to make things difficult for the Zhou family?" Seeing her crying pitifully, Qin Zhuoyan thought that the beauty she had been thinking about was being bullied.
"Although no one bullies us, the Zhou Mansion has lost its master and the family finances are difficult. They even eat and dress simply. I can't eat the food and have lost a lot of weight."
Zhou Baili deliberately raised her hand to wipe her tears, letting her sleeve slide down her wrist, revealing a section of her arm.
She looked really delicate. No matter how thick-skinned Zhou Baili was, she couldn't ask Tan Zhuoyan to give her money directly, so she had to hint at her indirectly.
Tan Zhuoyan held Zhou Baili's wrist, stroking her slender hands, her eyes full of heartache. Zhou Baili's cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her head away shyly, but she did not pull her hand back.
"How could this be? Alas, if the Marquis' Mansion had enough expenses, I could give you some silver to support it, but the Marquis' Mansion can't come up with much." Qin Zhuoyan sighed heavily.
It is actually a bit embarrassing to say that you have no money. Qin Zhuoyan is not a gentleman. It's not that he doesn't want to pretend to be rich, but he doesn't even have the capital to pretend to be rich.
"What?" Zhou Baili didn't expect to get such an answer and was a little bit unbelieving.
Zhou Baili didn't know that without Liu Mingyue's dowry and the shop's revenue from her previous life, the Marquis' Mansion couldn't come up with any money at all. They couldn't even take care of themselves, so how could they have much money for Zhou Baili?
The girl suddenly remembered what Liu Mingyue had said in the palace. She had thought that the Marquis' Mansion was tight on finances and that Liu Mingyue had said that on purpose. She had never expected that the Marquis' Mansion was really so poor!
Was Liu Mingyue's words a joke? Zhou Baili hesitated.
Could it be that her plan was in vain? To confirm, Zhou Baili looked back at Tan Zhuoyan worriedly: "Your Highness is working so hard, what is the situation in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Zhou Baili was worried about angering Qin Zhuoyan and embarrassing him, so she asked in a roundabout way.
"Last time I heard from my sister that the Marquisate wanted to use her dowry to make up for the Marquisate's debt. Is that true?"
If she had just felt a little embarrassed when she confessed that there wasn't much money in the account of the Marquis' Mansion, then at this moment, Qin Zhuoyan felt as if she had been slapped hard in the face, with a burning pain on her face.
Tan Zhuoyan's eyes widened in shock, and her pupils trembled slightly due to excessive shock. If his legs were not unable to walk, he would have been able to stand up directly at this moment. The man let go of Zhou Baili's hand: "Of course it's fake!"
He explained it sternly, but how could he not know the situation of the Marquis's Mansion in his heart? He had not calculated Liu Mingyue's dowry, but his mother must have had this idea.
Tan Zhuoyan was not ashamed of calculating the bride's dowry, but was angry that Liu Mingyue had leaked the news that the Marquis's Mansion had calculated the daughter-in-law's dowry. That bitch dared to stab the Marquis' Mansion in the back! How unreasonable!
"No matter how difficult the Marquis' Mansion is, they will not think about the bride's dowry. Liu Mingyue is just deliberately slandering the Marquis' Mansion!"
Qin Zhuoyan was so angry that the corners of his eyes turned red. In Zhou Baili's eyes, he was so angry that the truth was exposed.
Zhou Baili knew how much dowry the Zhou family gave to Liu Mingyue when she got married, and the Marquis's Mansion was also coveting that little bit of money.
How difficult is it going to be? Especially seeing Tan Zhuoyan's reaction, Zhou Baihe suspected that what Liu Mingyue said was true.
"Your Highness is right. I just thought of it and asked casually." Zhou Baili suppressed the disgust in her heart and pretended to be distressed for Qin Zhuoyan on the surface.
But when Qin Zhuoyan learned that Liu Mingyue was the one who ruined the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, she no longer had the heart to talk about love with Zhou Baili. She said that she had something to go back to the Mansion for, and the two parted unhappily because of this topic.
Qin Zhuoyan returned to the Marquis' Mansion angrily and asked the servants to push him straight to Liu Mingyue's yard.
"Ugly woman!" As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qin Zhuoyan called Liu Mingyue such an ugly name without any courtesy.
It happened that Liu Mingyue was planting medicinal herbs in the yard when someone came in noisily. Liu Mingyue stood up in a daze and when she saw it was Tan Zhuoyan, she gave a look to the servant in the yard.
Seeing that the prince was furious, the servants were eager to retreat. In a flash, only Liu Mingyue, her master and her servant, and Tan Zhuoyan were left in the courtyard, staring at each other.
"I wonder what advice your Highness has for you?" Liu Mingyue saw that he was dressed formally, probably just coming back from outside, and she looked at him with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"How dare you ask me this? You are the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion. I do dislike you, but I have never treated you harshly. Why do you want to smear the Marquis' Mansion and spread rumors that our Mansion is eyeing your dowry?"
When Qin Zhuoyan questioned Liu Mingyue, her eyes were wide open and she looked ferocious as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.
Facing Tan Zhuoyan's questioning, Liu Mingyue looked innocent: "What smear? What dowry? Why don't I understand what Your Highness is saying? Why did Your Highness suddenly say that?"
Liu Mingyue knew a little about who the person in front of him was. Of course, he didn't go to investigate the matter, but someone told him something. Who was that person?
Without waiting for Liu Mingyue to trick her, Qin Zhuoyan confessed the crime herself when she saw that Liu Mingyue refused to admit it.
"Don't pretend in front of me. If your sister hadn't told me this, I would have been kept in the dark by you! You are sisters. If she said you did, could it be false?"
When Tan Zhuoyan mentioned Zhou Baili, Liu Mingyue's heart sank suddenly, and she had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.
wrong.
In the previous life, the reason why Zhou Baili and Qin Zhuoyan got together after the Zhou family fell into decline was because Zhou Baili was greedy for fame and fortune, while the Marquis' Mansion relied on the profits of Liu Mingyue's shop to live a prosperous life.
Qin Zhuoyan was happy to show off his financial strength in front of a beautiful woman, so he did not hesitate to spend money on Zhou Baili. He was very generous. Of course, Zhou Baili was completely dependent on him.
In addition, Bai Ziyu later cured Qin Zhuoyan's leg. He hid it from Liu Mingyue and secretly got involved with Zhou Baihe. What was so difficult about it?
But this life is different. Tan Zhuoyan not only has nothing, but is also just a cripple. Apart from that face, there is really nothing to recommend her. As for the face, there is no shortage of good-looking young men in the capital.
"Your Highness, I really didn't say anything bad about the Marquis' Mansion. Maybe my sister misunderstood me."
