Chapter 17: First Meeting with the Regent



The moment she thought about returning Chi Ran's dowry, Aunt Mei felt very painful.

Not only Auntie Wangmei felt pain, but Old Man 꽬그 also felt pain!

All the expenses of this mansion depend on Chi Ran's dowry.

The dowry that the General's Mansion gave to Chi Ran was a full hundred loads! There were countless gold and silver jewelry, countless fine jade and pearls, red sandalwood furniture, yellow rosewood ornaments, and a large amount of golden nanmu...

The clothes and jewelry on the old lady, as well as the furniture in Rongjin Pavilion, all came from Chi Ran's dowry. Now they are not returned, and the old lady is extremely reluctant!

"Xiao'e, make a new list for the girl and send it to her according to the list!"

Aunt Mei's eyes lit up. She made a new list. Then she could write whatever she wanted.

She immediately responded happily, "Aunt! Xiao'e will do it right away!"

After saying that, Aunt Mei got up and left in a hurry. Old Man looked at her leaving back and cursed, "Lazy woman!"

Then he motioned to Aunt Zhao beside him to follow Aunt Mei, lest she did something unknown without telling him!

"Youze, Chi Ran left behind a lot of real estate back then, are they all in the hands of your wife?"

"Let her spit out some of it, so that it won't be ugly when it's handed over to the eldest girl. After all, she has an imperial concubine aunt behind her!"

Tang Youze's face showed no emotion as he nodded in response. However, he was thinking in his heart that his father also owned several shops and properties of Chi Ran, and they were all located in the most prosperous areas in Beijing. Although they did not make a fortune, the annual profit was also quite considerable!

The dozens of shops owned by Aunt Mei are not as valuable as the ten shops owned by his mother!

At noon the next day, Aunt Mei brought her maid to Luoying Pavilion. Tang Chuyao was still lying on the bed, and the whole courtyard was filled with the smell of medicine.

Aunt Mei sat at the table and looked at Tang Chuyao on the bed and said, "Young Miss is not young anymore. It's time to learn what you should learn."

After saying that, he motioned to Bi Tao beside him to hand a list to Tang Chuyao.

Tang Chuyao didn't reach out to take it. Du Juan took it for her, but didn't open it to look.

"Miss, this is the dowry list your mother brought when she got married. Today I have brought all of your mother's dowry."

After saying this, she signaled the maids to bring in a few boxes. After seeing all the boxes were brought in, Aunt Mei stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her body, "Young Miss, have a good rest. I'm going back first!"

After saying that, he left with a group of people...

Du Juan spat at Aunt Mei's departing figure, "This Aunt Mei really thinks she's the boss!"

"Miss, would you like to take a look at this list?" Du Juan turned and looked at Tang Chuyao.

Tang Chuyao shook her head and said calmly, "No need, Du Juan, keep the list!"

"As for these junk boxes, put them in the west wing. It's empty there anyway."

"놆!" Dujuan immediately started to get busy.

Tang Chuyao knew without even opening the boxes that they were filled with worthless junk!

For example, Tang Chuying had been wearing old and ragged clothes over the years, some broken items of Aunt Mei, and some broken silver-plated jewelry!

Tang Chuyao didn't have time to deal with this matter. She would go to Ximazhuang to meet her master and Huagu Master tomorrow!

Early the next morning, Tang Chuyao asked Du Juan to stay in the yard, and she asked Huang Xiaoyu to take her away quietly...

Before Tang Chuyao entered the courtyard, she heard Hua Wangshu's laughter coming from the courtyard. Yu 놆 and Huang Xiaoyu walked in.

Hua Wangshu and Ke Wuwei were playing chess on the stone table in the yard. There was a man standing under the peach tree nearby, looking at Tang Chuyao with a smile, as if waiting for her arrival.

The man was wearing a deep purple robe as bright as violet, and a black belt around his waist inlaid with several gems that sparkled brightly in the sunlight.

His face was white, his features were delicate, especially his peach blossom eyes, which were slightly upturned at the end, as if smiling but not smiling, as if they could carry my soul away. When he smiled gently, the corners of his mouth raised an evil arc, which made my heart beat faster.

Regent Gu Qingchen? !

How come he is here?

Tang Chuyao's thoughts were pulled back to the scene in her previous life when she died and became a lonely soul following Gu Qingchen...

Gu Qingchen held her body carefully, like a couple!

Couple?

Doesn't she remember meeting the Regent?

Wait, the person in front of her looks like someone she once saved, could it be him?

When Tang Chuyao was looking at Gu Qingchen, Gu Qingchen was also looking at Tang Chuyao. Although Tang Chuyao was wearing a veil and his true appearance could not be seen, he was very familiar with those eyes, which often appeared in his dreams!

Ever since Little Bit saved me six years ago, I have often dreamed of her!

The little girl in my dream was extremely beautiful, totally different from the one in the rumors!

Although Gu Qingchen didn't care much about Xiaobudian's appearance, he was very angry when he thought of what Hua Wangshu had just said about her being poisoned by two kinds of poisons, one of which would kill her and the other would cause spots on her face! He hated himself for not finding Xiaobudian earlier and letting her go through so much!

He wanted to do something for the little one...

The moment Hua Wangshu saw Tang Chuyao appear, he stood up and walked in front of her, holding Tang Chuyao's hand, "Yaoyao, you said that you and Jin Zhi didn't discuss it beforehand, and you two came here one after the other!"

Jinzhi? Is this Gu Qingchen's name?

Then Hua Wangshu continued, "Yaoyao, this is my apprentice, Gu Jinzhi!"

Tang Chuyao bowed to Gu Qingchen and said, "I greet the Regent!"

"Miss Tang, there's no need to be so polite!" Gu Qingchen's voice rang out.

Tang Chuyao just thought that Gu Qingchen's voice was very nice. Like his wife, the first person that girls in the capital wanted to marry was Gu Qingchen.

The reason is simple, mainly because of his appearance. Gu Qingchen is the most handsome man in Daqi!

In addition to his status, he is the most honorable existence in Da Qi except Emperor Wen of Song!

But because of his cold and aloof temperament, the girls in the capital can only sigh in despair!

Tang Chuyao felt that the regent in front of him was different from what was rumored, and his appearance was naturally excellent!

This is just a character, but very gentle...

"Why call him Regent? Speaking of which, Yaoyao still owes Jinzhi her life-saving grace!" Hua Wangshu joked.

"Yaoyao, do you still remember? Six years ago, you brought a person to my Wanhua Valley and asked me to treat him. That person was Jinzhi!"

Tang Chuyao nodded slightly, lowering her eyes and not daring to look at Gu Qingchen. She felt that Gu Qingchen's eyes looking at her were very hot, which made her feel a little embarrassed...
