"In the meantime, we will stay here for a while. As for the people from the three escort agencies that are escorting the dowry, you will pay them and let them leave."
Xu Jinyi took out nine silver notes of one hundred taels each and handed them to Mother Tong. Three hundred taels for one escort agency was the agreed price at that time.
"Although my dowry is huge, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to take care of things on my parents' side. As for the servants I brought here, as long as they are not indentured, Mama Tong should send them away."
Many of those servants on living contracts have been bribed, and Xu Jinyi dare not use them, so he takes this opportunity to make a major change.
By keeping them by her side, she was afraid that they might accidentally capsize in the ditch.
Mother Tong also thought of the princess she had watched grow up, and tears could not help falling: "Miss, don't worry, the princess will be fine, and the general will be fine too. We will all be reunited."
Xu Jinyi nodded and handed over the small change: "Mother Tong, you can use this money to pay their monthly wages, and keep the rest for living expenses. You can also see if there are any other things we need for the house and buy whatever we need."
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Miss, you're tired too, go take a rest. The kitchen is already cooking. I'll have Liuli bring it over later."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mother Tong."
At the same time, Di Zisheng, who was squeezed among a pile of toilets and was about to faint from the suffocation, finally heard the words of the soldiers at the city gate letting him pass.
He breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the city gate of the capital. There was a fierce light in his eyes, and the hatred in his eyes almost solidified.
He was careless.
He thought that the Queen Mother, a woman, could not cause any trouble, but he did not expect that she had deployed so many things under his nose.
I was not careful for a moment and let her take advantage of me.
Di Zisheng looked at his body covered in blood and stinking smell, his black hair was covered with dried blood, yellow mud, and hay, he thought of the miserable and dangerous days, and how he had almost fallen into the hands of those people several times.
The dog's body exuded a strong sense of hostility, and a terrifying aura all around it.
It was still the dog's body that was staring at him, a look of confusion flashing across his black eyes.
Who would believe that a dignified emperor could turn into a dog and go out?
The most important thing is that he now has no idea how to regain his human form.
Otherwise, let alone revenge, it would be difficult to survive.
Being chased and beaten, this body has already reached its limit of what it can hold on to.
Watching the city gate gradually become distant, Di Zisheng endured the pain and struggled to crawl out from a pile of toilets, then jumped into the weeds.
The piled-up toilets clattered to the ground, and the old man who was emptying the night incense got out of the car cursing and complaining about his bad luck.
Finally safe, Di Zisheng fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, Liusu was punished to kneel again, and she finally understood that Xu Jinyi wanted to punish her.
"Liuli, can you please help me beg for mercy from the young lady? I really can't kneel any longer. If I kneel any further, my knees will be broken."
Liuli looked at Liusu helplessly: "I asked you to restrain yourself before. The young lady is good to us, so we should know our duties. What about you? You are getting more and more excessive. You dare to say anything about the young lady's affairs."
"You deserve to be punished. Let me tell you, the young lady is being very polite to you. If it were any other young lady, she would probably sell you out."
"Instead of begging for mercy, you might as well kneel down and let the young lady calm down. The young lady is not a stingy person and will not bother with you."
Liu Su angrily said, "If you don't want to help me, then don't help me. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I think you just want to make fun of me."
Liuli was dumbfounded. "I saw you were kneeling so hard, so I kindly poured you a glass of water. And you scolded me? You are so ungrateful. No wonder the lady wants to punish you."
"Who asked you to be so hypocritical and kind? If you really cared about me, why didn't you plead for me?"
This self-righteous look made the usually honest Liuli angry.
He took a half step back, letting the scorching sun shine on Liusu: "Since you said so, why should I rush to get close to your cold butt? Just kneel down slowly."
After saying that, Liuli took away the parasol and the boiled water, leaving Liusu dumbfounded.
"Let's go, let's all go. Who needs your charity?" Liusu said stubbornly.
Xu Jinyi lay lazily on the beauty couch, eating grapes that had just been chilled from the ice cellar and enjoying the coolness brought by the ice bucket.
The white and tender arms are exposed, and the snow-white skin is faintly visible from the thin gauze skirt, which is very tempting.
That small dress couldn't cover the half-exposed roundness and tender white parts that made people blush and envy.
Liuli, who rushed in angrily, also blushed. The lady is really, really beautiful.
That face was rosy and charming, and every bit of it captivated people.
Liuli couldn't help but sigh that Master Lu was really unlucky. He didn't even want the fairy-like lady.
Even a woman like her felt her heart pounding when she saw it.
"Why did you come back so angry? Do you know that you are wasting your time?" A soft voice sounded, and Liuli came to her senses and walked over to salute.
"Miss, how did Liusu become like this? We grew up together, and I sent her something out of kindness, but she suspected I had ulterior motives."
"She wasn't like this before. She would tell me everything, we would sleep together and chat. Now... I feel like she's changed a lot."
Xu Jinyi licked the grape juice on her fingertips, her eyes as charming as silk, almost stunned Liuli.
"Hasn't she always been like this? High expectations, low skills, selfish. When you share something good with her, does she ever think of you?"
"When she chatted with you, you were the one chattering away. She never expressed her own thoughts, did she?"
"You slept together before, but that wasn't because you hadn't become a maid and weren't assigned a separate room?"
Liuli was stunned by what she said, and after thinking carefully, she said, "It seems to be true."
"Has Liusu always been like this?" Liuli was a little confused by this discovery.
"Before, in the mansion, my mother didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of her. Now if she is not punished properly, she will become even more unruly."
Liusu was so hot that the back of her clothes was wet, her cheeks were sunburned and her mouth was very dry.
Deep down, she hoped that Lu Haoran would appear and save her like a god.
Little did they know that the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion had already been in chaos, and the entire mansion was filled with angry roars.
Marquis Pingyang looked at his wife and felt more and more uncomfortable. Thinking of the teasing looks of the guests, he felt that he had lost all face.
After the guests left, the red color that filled the house became a joke.
From this wedding, the Lu family did not gain any benefit, but instead became a laughing stock for the whole city.
"Look at your well-educated daughter. What has she done? She insults her new sister-in-law and interferes in family affairs, but she even dares to ask for a betrothal gift."
"You're such a grown-up girl, don't you know the importance of reputation? You finally found a good family, and now what do you expect them to think?"
