"You don't have money, but I do!"
Jiang Yan no longer cared about anything else and put down the fan in her hand.
"I know where the betrothal gift from Tan Lang is. I'll go get it right away!"
After saying this, Jiang Yan turned and walked towards the backyard.
When Qian saw this, she panicked and hurriedly chased after him.
"Stop, stop right there. Those betrothal gifts are for me, you can't move!"
"Did you hear me? Come back here!"
The mother and daughter argued all the way, but Jiang Yan won in the end.
However, the betrothal gift given by Tan Xin was not much to begin with, and all the things put together could barely make up 1,200 taels of silver, which was not even enough to pay off the marriage.
The people in the gambling house hope that they cannot pay off the money so that they can continue to collect the money.
"My Lord, I am sorry to bother you today."
"Miss Jiang, congratulations!"
The thug took the silver and left with a smile.
Jiang Yan couldn't laugh at all.
Our good life was ruined by them.
As soon as the thugs left, Jiang Yan got into the bridal sedan smoothly.
Yangyang saw Qian's expression and was secretly happy in her heart.
[The old witch is in such a bad mood today. Not only did she lose face, but she also lost all the betrothal gifts given by the Tan family.]
[This is just the beginning. After Jiang Yan marries into the Tan family, there will be more and more troubles. This old witch will suffer! ]
Qian was indeed very angry today and refused to go to the Tan family no matter what.
Jiang Huaishu had no choice but to take Yun Wanrou with him to the Tan family to congratulate them as the elder brother and sister-in-law.
Ever since Concubine Xian made a statue for Yangyang and burned three incense sticks every day, Yangyang's spiritual power has greatly increased and his five senses have also improved.
It was okay when there were few people around, she could hear what she wanted to hear from a distance.
But when there are too many people, the noise becomes too loud and it hurts her ears.
[It’s so noisy here, I want to close my ears, it won’t be noisy if I close them! ]
Yangyang covered her ears and frowned slightly.
Seeing that she was in pain, Yun Wanrou turned her head and looked at Wang Shu.
"Wangshu, the front hall is too noisy. Take Yangyang for a walk in the yard. We'll go back after my aunt finishes her wedding ceremony!"
"good!"
Wangshu responded and left the front hall carrying Yangyang.
Jiang Huaishu looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Arou, I heard from my mother that you want to take a concubine for me, is it true?"
"That's right! My aunt had taken a fancy to Chuqiu before, but Chuqiu didn't want to.
But rest assured, my Lord, taking a concubine is a big deal, I will carefully select the right person."
"No, I mean..."
Looking at Yun Wanrou's delicate face, Jiang Huaishu felt a little uncomfortable.
Yun Wanrou was very beautiful and generous, which was the type of appearance he liked.
If possible, he would like to be a loving, ordinary couple with her.
But that incident happened, creating an unbridgeable gap between him and Yun Wanrou.
"My Lord, what do you want to say?"
"nothing."
Jiang Huaishu shook his head and retracted his gaze.
Yun Wanrou frowned, feeling that he was a little weird today.
…
The betrothal gift sent by the Tan family was gone, and a lot of dowry was also lost. The more Qian thought about it, the angrier she became.
On the day Jiang Yan returned home, Qian got up early in the morning.
She stood at the door with a sullen look on her face.
Yun Wanrou stood beside her and couldn't help but ask.
"Mother looks unhappy today, but thinking about my aunt coming home today, did she not sleep well last night?"
"snort!"
Qian snorted and ignored her.
Yangyang pouted and shook her head: "Ugly..."
[The old witch doesn't miss Jiang Yan at all, she's clearly still angry with Jiang Yan. ]
[In order to get married smoothly, Jiang Yan mortgaged all the betrothal gifts sent by Tan Xin to the gambling house.]
[Qian Shi didn't get any betrothal gifts, and she also lost a lot of dowry. Tan Xin is accompanying Jiang Yan to her parents' home today, so shouldn't she be upset?]
It turns out that he was worried about the money.
Yun Wanrou smiled faintly and retracted her gaze.
After waiting at the door for a while, the Tan family's carriage appeared at the end of the street.
"It's the Tan family's carriage. My aunt is back!"
Under Yun Wanrou's gaze, the carriage moved slowly forward.
Jiang Yan slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage, took a look outside, and then the curtain was lowered by Tan Xin.
"Did you remember everything I said to you before I left?"
"I've got it." Jiang Yan nodded slightly, "But Tan Xin, my family can't afford the money.
My eldest brother owes money to the gambling house and has pawned everything in the house that can be pawned."
"How can such a huge mansion be without money? Yan'er, you have been deceived by your elder brother.
Find a chance later to complain to your mother alone. She loves you so much, she will definitely not want to see you suffer with me."
Jiang Yan met Tan Xin's eyes and pursed her lips.
She wanted to say something, but finally held it back.
She didn't dare tell Tan Xin that she lost money in the gambling house.
She also kept the unexpected incident that occurred during the wedding procession a secret.
For this reason, she gave one of her hairpins to the matchmaker, asking her to keep the secret for her.
Now her mother is so exhausted from hating her and being on guard against her, how could she possibly lend her money again?
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Marquis's mansion.
Tan Xin held Jiang Yan's hand and got off the carriage one after another.
The two came to Qian's front, Tan Xin raised the corner of his mouth and called out: "Mother, sister-in-law."
"snort!"
Qian snorted coldly and turned away.
The smile on Tan Xin's face froze and he looked at Yun Wanrou blankly.
Yun Wanrou smiled and shook her head: "Mother didn't get enough rest last night. It's not directed at you. You don't have to worry about it."
"oh!"
Tan Xin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.
Jiang Yan was not as optimistic as he was.
Mother is definitely not targeting Tan Xin, she is targeting her!
Qian didn't treat Jiang Yan well for the entire morning.
It was almost noon when Jiang Yan slowly stood up at Tan Xin's signal.
"Mom, I want to talk to you alone."
"There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it here!"
Qian glanced at her and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
However, Jiang Yan did not give up. She quickly walked up to her, took her hand and shook it gently.
"Mom, just come with me. I really have something to say to you alone."
Qian withdrew her hand and sat still.
Jiang Yan pursed her lips and sighed deliberately.
"Well, it seems that what others say is right. A daughter who is married off is like water poured out.
I just got married and my mother doesn’t want me anymore. I want to talk to her alone but she doesn’t want to.”
Seeing Jiang Yan hanging her head with a hurt look on her face, Qian frowned.
No matter what, Jiang Yan is her daughter, a piece of her flesh and blood.
She really couldn't bear to see her looking so wronged.
"Alright, alright, stop pretending, I'm going out with you!"
Qian stood up and walked out slowly.
Jiang Yan immediately smiled, took her arm and left the front hall.
As soon as the two of them left, Yangyang secretly pricked up her ears.
[Isn't it just borrowing money? Why do you have to go out and talk about it alone? 】
[There are no outsiders here, so why can't we also listen to how Qian rejected you? ]
[Oh my, I'm so curious! I wonder if they will quarrel in a while.]
Yun Wanrou subconsciously glanced in the direction of Tan Xin.
Jiang Yan had only been married for three days when this man revealed his purpose.
Compared with Jiang Huaishu, Tan Xin is still too immature.
Feeling the gaze, Tan Xin turned his head and met Yun Wanrou's eyes.
Seeing that she was looking at him, Tan Xin felt a little happy.
He curved his eyes and looked at Yun Wanrou, his eyes filled with a malicious smile.
