Xie Qingxu's face changed drastically. If the matter really got out of hand and was brought before the emperor, he would be severely punished!

"Miss Su..." Xie Qingxu gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't this too much? My mother just wants more!"

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "I am also following the rules of your mansion." After a pause, she continued, "Besides, it was your Xie Mansion that went too far first!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingxu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

He knew that what Su Jinyue said was true. If the matter really came before the emperor, it would definitely not end so easily!

Just then, a thin servant came hurriedly from outside the door, panting and said, "Sir, there are quite a few people gathered outside."

Mrs. Xie's expression suddenly changed. "What? Get them out of here!"

The servant lowered his head and said, "We can't chase them away. They all heard that the eldest lady of the Su family was coming, so they came to watch the fun..."

Hearing these words, Liu sneered, "If you, the Xie family, don't want this matter to be known to everyone and people will criticize you wherever you go, then why don't we make it public!"

Su Jinyue smiled slightly and sat beside him without saying a word.

Xie Qingxu’s fists were clenched until they turned white. He was a proud man and had never been insulted like this before!

But the current situation does not allow him to continue to be tough!

He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, we can discuss the dowry..."

Su Jinyue nodded, "Since Master Xie is willing to discuss, we are not the kind of people who cannot compromise."

"We can give you the dowry. Thirty-six sets of dowry is the biggest concession the Marquis's Mansion has made."

"It's too little! Your huge mansion only gave out thirty-six sets of dowry to send away beggars!" Madam Xie protested immediately, but Xie Qingxu glared at her fiercely, and she immediately fell silent.

"Okay, thirty-six then!" Xie Qingxu gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's great. Please ask Mr. Xie to sign and seal the document. This matter will be settled." Su Jinyue took out a document that had been prepared long ago.

Xie Qingxu took the document, glanced at it quickly, and wrote his name without hesitation.

Su Jinyue smiled with satisfaction, "If that's the case, then this matter is settled."

Mrs. Xie was a little flustered when she saw Xie Qingxu compromise so easily. She hurriedly said, "Xu'er, how could you sign it so easily!"

Xie Qingxu held Madam Xie and said to her in a low voice, "Mother! If this matter gets out, it will be bad for our son!"

"Chu Ling'er hasn't married yet. If the Minister knew about this, he would definitely not marry his daughter to his son!"

Mrs. Xie was stunned when she heard this, then she frowned.

Although she coveted wealth and glory, her son was the hope for the Xie family's future! She couldn't sacrifice her son's future for this little dowry.

After realizing this, she could only grit her teeth and accept it!

Su Jinyue noticed all the changes in Mrs. Xie's expression. She curled her lips and smiled faintly, then turned to look at Liu.

"Aunt, now that we have the documents, let's go back first." Su Jinyue handed the documents to Liu.

Liu quickly took the documents, put them into her sleeves, took them with her and turned to leave.

Xie Qingxu chased after him at this time, "I agree that your mansion will provide thirty-six dowries! But on the day Su Zhiyao marries into our Xie Mansion, she must not enter through the main gate! She can only be welcomed in through the small door as a concubine!"

What happens between them has nothing to do with her, Su Jinyue.

She didn't want to care about what the two of them were going to do. Su Jinyue raised her eyes and sneered at Xie Qingxu, "It's up to General Xie."

After saying this, he left Xie Mansion with everyone in the Marquis' Mansion.

Xie Qingxu looked at Su Jinyue, Liu and others who were leaving, and felt hatred in his heart!

He clenched his fists, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, but disappeared in an instant!

Liu, Su Jinyue and others went all the way back to the Su Mansion. They didn't get off the carriage until it stopped.

"Su girl...wasn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do that just now?"

Liu got off the carriage and felt a little uneasy. "Thirty-six sets of dowry may lower the status of our daughter of the Marquis's family too much."

"Aunt is confused."

Su Jinyue said earnestly, "Zhiyao's reputation outside has been ruined. It is impossible to expect her to gain much face for our mansion."

"What happened in the palace a few days ago was also related to her. It's good that she didn't cause trouble for the Marquis' Mansion."

"But Second Uncle is different."

Su Jinyue said to Liu: "When Second Uncle becomes successful in his career, won't our mansion rely on him?"

"Aunt, now that my father is not in the mansion, only my second uncle can support the mansion. We must not hold him back."

Su Jinyue glanced at Liu and saw that she looked thoughtful, so she continued, "Aunt, feel free to pick out the things in my storeroom."

Liu immediately changed her attitude towards Su Jinyue and treated her with great courtesy, "Jinyue, I knew you were a good child!"

"Zhiyao is just an adopted daughter of our family. You are different. You are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis with the blood of our Marquisate!"

Su Jinyue pursed her lips and smiled lightly, but didn't say anything.

As expected, not long after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Liu asked the maid beside her to go to Su Jinyue's warehouse and move away a lot of things.

Xiao Tao said to Su Jinyue in the room, "Miss, the people from the second room are too rude. Thank you!"

"Everything valuable in the warehouse was taken away by them!"

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, "But they are all fake, so what if they take them all?"

She paused and continued, "Those things will be fake by then. If they find out about it and come to me, I will have to pay double the price to buy them back!"

Xiao Tao's eyes widened after hearing this. "Young lady is really smart! Now they have lost more than they gained! I was just worried that I couldn't find a chance to punish them!"

Su Jinyue held her chin and chuckled, "Now I really want to know what it was like when my grandmother and the others knew that those things were fake and had to spend a large sum of money to buy them back."

"It feels so good!" Xiao Tao couldn't help but applaud.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Miss, the old lady wants you to come over."

"What's the matter, old lady?" Xiao Tao asked with some confusion.

Su Jinyue smiled slightly, probably because of Su Zhiyao's marriage. She stood up and said, "Go and take a look."

When I walked to the old lady's courtyard, I heard Liu's voice as soon as I entered the door, "Mother, this time it's all thanks to Jin Yue, otherwise we would really be embarrassed in Xie's house."
