Tong's mother, who was standing by, finally understood what the master and servant were saying, and her body was shaking with anger.
“They…they…”
Xu Jinyi saw that Tong's mother couldn't even stand steadily, so he quickly helped her sit down.
"Don't be angry, Mommy Tong. It's not worth it for those two bitches. Besides, I didn't lose anything. Fortunately, I found out not too late. If I had waited until I got married to find out about their affair, it would have been disgusting."
Tong's mother also cried: "Miss, you have been wronged."
Liuli wiped Tong Mama's tears and said, "Miss, I just heard Master Lu and Liusu asking about your dowry. I'm afraid they are eyeing your dowry. What should we do?"
"Don't worry, I secretly had the dowry moved out through the secret passage last night. It's now in a very safe place."
"Liuli, wait a minute, you let..." After thinking for a while, Xu Jinyi rolled his eyes cunningly.
Then she whispered the plan that suddenly came to her mind, and Liuli's eyes lit up when she heard it.
"That's what we have to do. It will make Master Lu so angry that he will die. Hiccup~"
"Miss, I'll be there in a moment... I'll take Liusu for a walk around the warehouse door."
Xu Jinyi looked at her hiccups with amusement and poured her a full glass of water: "Drink slowly, and you will stop hiccuping after you finish it."
Liuli happily took it and said, "Thank you, Miss. You are so kind. Liuli is so lucky to have such a good master like you. Don't worry, Miss. I will never be like Liusu. I will stay by your side all my life."
Mother Tong looked at Liuli lovingly, and suddenly realized that it was better for the maid to be a little stupid, because being too smart would easily give rise to other thoughts.
Thinking of how she had previously told the princess that if Liuli was too honest to be a maid accompanying her as a dowry, it would easily put the young lady at a disadvantage, Mother Tong looked at Liuli guiltily.
She was short-sighted. Liuli girl was a good person.
"There's some mung bean soup in the kitchen. Liuli girl, go have a bowl too."
"Thank you, Mother Tong. I'll go right away."
A quarter of an hour later, Liusu brought Lu Haoran over.
Lu Haoran always knew that Xu Jinyi was very beautiful. After all, she was the most beautiful woman in the capital.
But this time when we met, I was still deeply shocked by her beauty.
One of them is in the capital and the other is in this town. The distance is not too far, but not close either. After getting engaged over the years, they actually haven't met very often.
The most frequent form of communication was letters. Yesterday, Xu Jinyi was wearing a complicated and dignified wedding dress, and only her curvy figure could be seen underneath the dress.
But today she was wearing a skirt that reached her chest, and her proud parts were almost unable to be covered, and looked like they were about to jump out. Lu Haoran was stunned for a moment.
He never knew she was so beautiful, and her charm seemed natural.
One look can make people fall in love with her.
A feeling of regret surged in his heart, and what Lu Haoran wanted most at this moment was to turn back time.
Back to yesterday, he would definitely not let his mother do this. In this way, the beauty would be his and the money would be his too.
Lu Haoran's throat was dry. He glanced at Tong's mother and the maids outside the door and said, "Xiao Jin, do I have something to tell you?"
"Call me Xu, Master Lu, don't you understand? There is no relationship between you and me now, so it's better not to call me so intimately, or you will get gossip."
"Besides, since you are an outsider meeting me, it would be better if these servants were here."
Lu Haoran looked at her with a sad look on his face: "Xiao Jin, did you really love me? Otherwise, why are you so cold to me?"
Xu Jinyi stared at the corners of his lips: "Hey, why are the corners of the prince's lips a little red? How come they look so similar..."
Lu Haoran wiped his lips in panic, thinking that he had gotten Liusu's lipstick on him.
"Maybe I accidentally got red from eating the candied haws just now. Xiaojin, I really love you. Come back with me."
"I told you very clearly that day, even though my family has fallen, my dignity remains. Since I've decided to divorce you, I will never look back."
Lu Haoran couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he still said, "Since you have made up your mind, I still hope you can come back with me."
"Xiao Jin, it's not wise to return to the capital in your family's current situation. You don't know what's waiting for you."
"Now that you live here, do you know how many people are watching you? You have such a large dowry, and I heard those bandits are ready to make a move. There are a lot of new faces in the town these days."
"I'm really worried about your safety, Xiaojin. Pingyang Marquis's Mansion is guarded by soldiers. Come back with me and live there. When it's safe, you can leave whenever you want. I won't stop you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will hire more guards. Please don't worry about me."
"I've already divorced you, which means I have no relationship with your family anymore. It's not appropriate for me to move in with my dowry at this time."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Lu Haoran was distressed. "Xiao Jin, don't be angry with me. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have let my parents make the decision that day."
"I regretted it the moment you left me. Xiaojin, why can't you give me another chance?"
Xu Jinyi just looked at him and said, "Your Highness, you really want me to talk about this separately, right?"
"If that's the case, then listen carefully. The prince remained silent that day and tacitly agreed to your father's decision to demote your wife to a concubine. Didn't that mean he agreed to his decision?"
"When I proposed a divorce, your family's reaction was so fascinating. Didn't they assume I would compromise and stay, and that I loved you?"
"Why? I didn't stay as you expected. Seeing the large amount of dowry that has nothing to do with you, you came here eagerly."
"Isn't it for the dowry that the prince came to visit you?"
Xu Jinyi's words were so affirmative that they touched Lu Haoran's heart. He couldn't help but take a step back.
The dirtiest side of him was revealed, and Lu Haoran's face turned ugly, filled with shame and anger: "I'm doing this for your own good, how could you think so much of our family?"
"Yes, your General's Mansion is higher than my family's, and the dowry is huge and considerable. But even if we are poor, we at the Pingyang Marquis Mansion would not set our eyes on the bride's dowry and do such a despicable thing."
"Am I so unbearable in your heart?" Lu Haoran said with sympathy, but he didn't expect Xu Jinyi to actually nod.
"You know what Prince Lu is thinking, and you know even more clearly whether he has any intentions towards the dowry."
"You!" Lu Haoran looked at Xu Jinyi's clear eyes and suddenly understood.
"You knew, didn't you? You knew it a long time ago, didn't you? So you just went along with it and asked for the divorce papers, didn't you?"
"What else?" Xu Jinyi asked back, his eyes full of sarcasm.
