Chapter 67 Settlement

of Accounts The servants who came forward to arrest her retreated one after another when they saw the emperor's jade seal.

Shen Qingrong was furious and stamped her feet and said, "Jiang Shu, don't be too proud."

After all, Jiang Shu is now a commoner, and she has plenty of opportunities to punish her.

"Whether I am proud or not has nothing to do with you. You should return the dowry first, otherwise I will sue you for fraud and theft." Jiang Shu said coldly.

She gave in again and again, and Shen Qingrong pressed her again and again. In this case, let's settle the accounts clearly.

"You don't have to worry that I don't have evidence. I have the original list of your dowry. Every item in and out is recorded, and there is even a purchase ticket. You can't deny it."

"So what? You gave it voluntarily. Why do you want me to return it to you?" Shen Qingrong was shameless.

"How can she be so shameless." Jiang Ning's eyes widened in astonishment, and he was enlightened.

Tan Yu and the others also showed contempt on their faces.

Shen Qingrong was angered by them, and when she was about to explode, Shen Changze and Lu Mingke heard the news and rushed over, and just happened to hear Shen Qingrong's shameless words.

"Qingrong." Lu Mingke stopped her.

Shen Qingrong shuddered, turned around and saw Lu Mingke's handsome face full of anger, and she felt timid.

Shen Changze would tolerate her and tolerate her, but Lu Mingke would not.

"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry." Lu Mingke bowed and apologized.

Jiang Shu said indifferently: "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Lu. I just want Shen Qingrong to return her dowry."

Shen Changze frowned and said: "Qingrong's dowry is far away in Pingyang. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for her?"

Jiang Shu laughed angrily: "Why don't you return it for her, or return the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion for the past six years to me first?"

Shen Changze choked and was speechless, embarrassed and ashamed.

No money can make a hero difficult.

Shen Qingrong spoke up for Shen Changze and said, "Your mother said in front of so many people that you don't have to pay back the money. Are you going to go back on your word?"

Jiang Shu sneered and said coldly, "My mother said this the other day as a condition for negotiating a divorce, but the Marquis's Mansion did not agree, so this condition was naturally cancelled."

"As for today's divorce letter, it was exchanged for new conditions and has nothing to do with money."

"Why don't you want to default on the debt?"

Jiang Shu stared at Shen Changze with burning eyes, leaving him no way to avoid it.

Shen Changze was embarrassed and blushed, saying, "We are husband and wife, do you have to force me like this?"

It's not that he didn't want to pay back the money, but he didn't have any intention at all.

"Ha!" Jiang Shu sneered, "When the Marquis insulted me with the idea of ​​divorce, did you think about our relationship as husband and wife?"

When she begged him, he was cruel and heartless. It was simply ridiculous to talk about love with her again.

"But you have already got what you wanted, why are you still pushing me?" Shen Changze clenched his fists, thinking that Jiang Shu was too heartless.

Jiang Ning couldn't listen any longer, and said angrily: "The damage you have done to my sister will never be erased in this life. Do you remember what you promised me before? Did you do it?"

Shen Changze was stunned, remembering the promise he made to Jiang Ning.

"You can't even keep the promise you made with your own mouth, and you still have the nerve to talk about love between husband and wife. Bah!" Jiang Ning spat contemptuously.

Being taught a lesson by a teenager in front of so many people, Shen Changze was embarrassed and angry.

"If you can keep your promise and let me beat you up without fighting back, I'll give you the money, how about that?" Jiang Ning teased and sarcastically said.

Lu Mingke looked at Shen Changze, curious about what choice he would make.

"You are going too far!" Shen Qingrong jumped out again to speak up for Shen Changze.

Jiang Ning said disgustedly: "You are so anxious, why don't you pay it back first?"

"You!" Shen Qingrong was so angry that she cursed without any manners: "You bum, it is your honor to marry into the Marquis's Mansion. You are so ungrateful for marrying up like this, you deserve to be a bum for the rest of your life."

These words were too harsh to hear, Jiang Ning wanted to argue, but was stopped by Jiang Shu.

She asked Shen Qingrong calmly: "Did you forget about being a woman, a woman's virtue and a woman's words when you went to Pingyang, or Pingyang doesn't talk about these things?"

The light words made Lu Mingke's scalp tighten.

Jiang Shu was reminding him that Shen Qingrong had lost not only the face of the Marquis' Mansion, but also the Lu family.

Shen Qingrong still didn't know how to restrain herself, and continued to go crazy: "What does it have to do with you, a bastard, you..."

"Have you made enough trouble? Slap!" Lu Mingke couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Shen Qingrong.

He reminded her several times, but she turned a deaf ear to him, and even made more trouble, losing all her face.

Being beaten in public, Shen Qingrong was ashamed and angry, and stared at Jiang Shu with resentment.

Jiang Shu disdained to pay attention and asked Shen Changze: "Do you want to write an IOU or let Jiang Ning be beaten?"

Jiang Shu knew exactly how much property the Marquis's mansion had. She knew Shen Changze could not pay it back, so she proposed to write an IOU.

Shen Changze had no choice but to agree to write an IOU.

The matter was settled, and Jiang Shu asked Shen Qingrong: "When will you pay it back?"

"You tell me the amount, and I will pay it back for her." Lu Mingke said.

Jiang Shu was surprised and didn't understand why Lu Mingke wanted to pay it back for Shen Qingrong. Could he

still have feelings for Shen Qingrong? If so, she would have to look up to Shen Qingrong and praise her for her cleverness.

As soon as she saw Jiang Shu's expression, she knew that she was angry. Lu Mingke smiled bitterly and said: "Just consider it as the affection between me and her as a couple."

This was too meaningful and thought-provoking.

Jiang Shu's almond eyes flickered, and he agreed. He asked Lu

Mingke to take Shen Changze's IOU with him when she paid back the money.

"The account has been settled, and the Jiang family has no connection with the Marquis' Mansion anymore."

Seeing that Jiang Shu and the others were about to leave, Shen Qingrong covered her face and said unwillingly, "Brother, we can't let them go. She promised to save Yan Yang, but there is no result yet."

Shen Changze hesitated when he heard it.

Lu Mingke looked at Shen Qingrong, his eyes full of disappointment.

At this time, a servant ran in from outside and said in a hurry, "My Lord, someone is coming from the palace."

Shen Changze's face sank, and he hurried out of the mansion to greet him.

After welcoming the eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch into the mansion, Shen Changze personally led the eunuch to the main hall of the mansion.

Lu Mingke and Shen Qingrong followed.

"Let's go." Jiang Shu put away the divorce letter and pulled Jiang Ning away.

Xu Lingyi, who was standing far away, watched Jiang Shu leave gracefully and shed two lines of tears.

The tolerant and generous Jiang Shu left. From now on, Cheng Jinchu will be the only one in charge in the mansion. Her life may not be easy.

She never thought that Jiang Shu would divorce her.

Since the divorce incident, Xu Lingyi has asked to see Jiang Shu several times, but was refused by Jiang Shu.

He only asked Chu Yu to tell her four words: Take care of yourself.

"Madam..." Xu Lingyi was extremely reluctant to let Jiang Shu go, and watched Jiang Shu leave the mansion.

The moment she stepped out of the mansion, Jiang Shu looked up at the sky and smiled.

She was finally free.

"Sister, let's go home." Jiang Ning grabbed Jiang Shu's hand and walked towards the carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

"Okay, let's go home." The brother and sister got into the carriage hand in hand, and Chu Yu and others got on another carriage.

On the high roof not far away, Zhuiyun watched them leave and turned back to report.

In Prince Jing's Mansion, Yu Zheng was writing at his desk.

"Master, Miss Jiang has left the mansion safely." Zhuiyun bowed.

"Well, send someone to secretly watch her and protect her safety, but don't disturb her life." Yu Zheng's pen did not stop.

Jiang Shu thought he could rest easy after returning to the Jiang family, but Yu Zheng didn't think so.
