Jiang Qingyao asked someone to bring over a potted plant with brightly colored flowers.
"The weeping crabapple tree is very pleasing to the eye. I brought it back from the Xue family and wanted to let the Marquis appreciate it too."
He Zheng has all kinds of flowers here, including plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, but the only thing missing is the delicate and bright red crabapple.
The girl in front of me has a beautiful smile, just like the crabapple tree, extremely eye-catching.
He Zheng's heart moved slightly, and he held the teacup with his bony fingers and handed it over, "Try it."
The teacup was moist and translucent. Jiang Qingyao took it and it looked even more pink when she pinched it with her fingertips. She took a sip and raised her brows.
This is not queshe tea.
The tea juice is apricot yellow, with a fresh aroma and a sweet and mellow taste.
It turns out to be "gold inlaid with jade".
"Gold inlaid with jade" is Junshan Silver Needle, also called White Crane Tea, and is still the tribute tea of the imperial court.
Jiang Qingyao: "There are so many good teas in the Marquis' Mansion."
In her previous life, she had seldom had the chance to drink it after she got married. It was clearly the private collection of the Marquis of Anguo.
He Zheng looked at her eyes which were slightly curved into crescents because of her love, and found her quite cute.
"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Jiang Qingyao suddenly remembered the important matter, "I want to borrow some people from the Marquis. To be more precise, can I borrow a few Qilin Guards?"
He Zheng paused while drinking his tea and said, "Yes."
“…”
You answered too straightforwardly.
Jiang Qingyao was surprised and asked him, "Why did you borrow someone from me, Lord?"
He Zheng: "What?"
You are quite receptive to good advice.
Jiang Qingyao smacked her lips. "The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion seized my biological mother's dowry and used a few boxes of worthless things to trick me. I had no choice but to come here in person to ask for my dowry."
Jiang Qingyao's words sounded a bit pathetic.
"I can't defeat their whole family by myself, so I want to borrow some people from the Marquis to stabilize the situation, at least in terms of momentum."
The key to asking for a dowry is to be aggressive, otherwise the other party will be unscrupulous and act like a cheat.
Jiang Qingyao could indeed spend money to hire some people to compete with the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, but if that happened, the two sides would fight and the hired people would inevitably get injured.
But the Qilin guards are different. They are murderous and fierce, and just standing there makes people tremble with fear.
Those people in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion who bully the weak and fear the strong dare not act rashly.
After listening to this, He Zheng still said in a deep voice, "Okay."
Because of this rare good tea, Jiang Qingyao stayed a little longer. It was great to drink tea together even if they didn't talk much.
At this time, He Huaixuan's face behind the pillar was full of anger.
Jiang Qingyao actually smiled at her father, and her smile was so sweet! When he came back from college and saw this scene, his throat choked.
She is obviously his wife...
Without him, Jiang Qingyao was indeed living a good life, as if it didn't matter whether he was there or not.
But he couldn't leave her.
He needs her, he loves her.
After seven years of marriage, he had seen all her efforts. Even though Qin Yurong had given birth to three children in her previous life, he never intended to let Qin Yurong replace Jiang Qingyao. He only wanted Qin Yurong to be his co-wife, which could not shake her status as the mistress of the marquis's family.
"Qingyao, you have no idea how good I am to you and how much I care about you."
He Huaixuan froze in place, feeling that if this continued he would really lose Jiang Qingyao.
Suddenly my heart sank.
If Jiang Qingyao knew the truth about being rescued from the icy lake last year, she would probably...
No, she couldn't know that this was the only bond between him and her.
He Huaixuan returned to the dormitory in a daze, thinking in his mind how he could regain Jiang Qingyao's attention?
He wanted to make her fall in love with him again.
A piece of information suddenly came to mind in my confused thoughts - Xue's death!
He knew the truth about the death of Jiang Qingyao's biological mother, Xue. Perhaps he could use Xue as bait. He didn't believe that Jiang Qingyao would not take the bait.
…
"Oh no, sir, our house is surrounded!" the servant shouted.
Seeing the Qilin guards surrounding the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, Zhitao's eyebrows jumped: "Miss, didn't you say you would borrow a few people from the Anguo Marquis? Why did you borrow so many?"
Jiang Qingyao was also a little surprised, "Yeah, I didn't expect the Marquis to be so generous."
She asked for a few men, and he borrowed them... Jiang Qingyao counted them and found that there were about a hundred Qilin guards.
It's just a dowry, not that serious.
People on the street saw this and started to wonder, "Is the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion going to be raided?!"
Hearing this, Jiang Qingyao thought that it was not wrong to confiscate the house. Many things in the mansion were bought with her mother's dowry. It was her mother who maintained the dignity of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.
But they have always treated her harshly, wanted to kill her, and now they are seizing and embezzling her dowry.
Jiang Yisong thought that Jiang Qingyao would make a fuss, and he also thought of letting the servants send her away like a beggar. What could she do to him?
I didn't expect her to make such a fuss.
It is loud and powerful.
The people in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion looked at the Qilin guards and were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats and their legs went weak.
Xu looked at Jiang Yisong in panic, "Husband, husband, what should we do now?"
Qin Yurong's expression changed slightly, and she pointed at Jiang Qingyao: "Where can you hire so many people?"
Seeing those people wearing golden swords, he immediately said, "Jiang Qingyao, you are so outrageous! You actually let people break into private houses with weapons! You will go to jail!"
"Does the Marquis of Anguo know that you are so arrogant? I will have someone tell the Marquis of Anguo right now, and see how he treats you then. I'm afraid he will cancel the engagement and give up on you."
The others fell silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became wrong, Qin Yurong's heart skipped a beat and her momentum weakened: "Did I, did I say something wrong?"
Jiang Yisong, standing aside, couldn't hold back his expression anymore and cursed, "Idiot, this is the Qilin Guard of the Marquis of Anguo. You ignorant thing, get out of here and stop embarrassing yourself!"
Qin Yurong opened her mouth wide.
The person that Marquis Anguo gave her?
Then didn't what she just said make her look like a clown and make people laugh?
Qin Yurong's face turned as purple as liver. She thought that the servants in the mansion were probably despising her in their hearts. It was so embarrassing.
She stepped aside in embarrassment, and now she dared not say anything more.
Jiang Qingyao was straightforward and gave the order - "Move".
The Qilin guards heard the sound, rushed into the hall, and moved things according to the list in their hands.
"You, you evil creature, what are you doing?" Old Madam Jiang roared viciously while being supported by her servants.
"You are robbing!"
"I just took back my mother's dowry. How can that be considered robbery?" Jiang Qingyao tossed out Xue's dowry list. "Madam Jiang, take a look at the list. Does it look familiar?"
When Mrs. Jiang saw the list, she was shocked. "How did you get this?"
