When the servants who stepped forward to arrest saw the jade seal of the Holy Emperor, they all backed away and did not dare to make any mistake.
Shen Qingrong was furious and stamped his feet: "Jiang Shu, don't be too proud."
Jiang Shu is now a commoner, and she has the opportunity to rectify her.
"My unhappiness has nothing to do with you. Please return the dowry first, otherwise I will sue you for fraud and theft." Jiang Shu said coldly.
She gave in repeatedly, and Shen Qingrong pressed her hard. If so, let's settle the accounts clearly.
"You don't have to worry that I don't have any evidence. I have the original bill of your dowry, and every entry and exit of each item is recorded. There are even purchase records. You can't deny it."
"So what, you gave it to me voluntarily, why should you ask me to give it back to you?" Shen Qingrong had no lower limit for shame.
"Why is she so shameless?" Jiang Ning's eyes widened in astonishment.
Tanyu and others also had looks of disdain on their faces.
Shen Qingrong was angered by them and was about to have a fit when Shen Changze and Lu Mingke arrived after hearing the news, just in time to hear Shen Qingrong's shameless words.
"Qingrong." Lu Mingke stopped.
Shen Qingrong trembled all over, turned around and saw Lu Mingke's handsome face with anger, and felt timid.
Shen Changze would indulge her and tolerate her, but Lu Mingke would not.
"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry." Lu Mingke apologized with his hands in hand.
Jiang Shu said indifferently: "This matter has nothing to do with Master Lu. I only want Shen Qingrong to return the dowry."
Shen Changze frowned and said, "Qingrong's dowry is far away in Pingyang, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"
Jiang Shu laughed angrily: "How about the Marquis repaying it for her? Or maybe the Marquis pay me back the expenses of the Marquis Mansion for the past six years first?"
Shen Changze choked and was speechless, so embarrassed that he felt ashamed.
No money stumps a heroic man.
Shen Qingrong stood up for Shen Changze and said, "Your mother said in front of so many people that there is no need to pay back the money. Is it possible that you want to go back on your word?"
Jiang Shu sneered and said coldly: "My mother said this that day as a condition for divorce, but the Marquis did not agree, so the condition was naturally dropped."
"As for Li Shu today, the new conditions have nothing to do with money."
"What? Mr. Hou doesn't want to default on the debt, does he?"
Jiang Shu stared at Shen Changze with burning eyes, making him unable to avoid him.
Shen Changze was so embarrassed that he blushed and said, "A husband and wife, do you have to force each other like this?"
It's not that he doesn't want to pay back the money, it's just that he doesn't.
"Ha!" Jiang Shu sneered coldly: "When Mr. Marquis abandoned me and humiliated me, did he ever think of us as husband and wife?"
When she begged him, he was cruel and heartless. It's ridiculous to flirt with her now.
"But you've already got what you wanted, why are you so aggressive?" Shen Changze clenched his fists, feeling that Jiang Shu was too unfeeling.
Jiang Ning couldn't listen anymore and said angrily: "The harm you have caused to my sister will never be erased in this life. Do you remember how you promised me before? Have you done it?"
Shen Changze was startled, remembering the promise he had made to Jiang Ning.
"You can't live up to the promise you made so solemnly, and you still have the nerve to mention the relationship between husband and wife. Bah!" Jiang Ning spat contemptuously.
Being taught a lesson by a young man in front of so many people, Shen Changze was disgraced, ashamed and angry.
"If you can keep your promise and let me beat you up and not fight back, then the money will be forfeited, how about that?" Jiang Ning teased and sarcastically said.
Lu Mingke looked at Shen Changze, curious about what choice he would make.
"You are going too far!" Shen Qingrong jumped out to defend Shen Changze again.
Jiang Ning said disgustedly: "You are in such a hurry, why don't you pay it back first?"
"You!" Shen Qingrong was furious and cursed without any manners: "Untouchables, it is your honor to marry into the Marquis's house. You are so high-ranking and ungrateful. You deserve to be a untouchable for the rest of your life."
These words were too harsh. Jiang Ning wanted to argue, but Jiang Shu stopped her.
She asked Shen Qingrong calmly: "When you went to Pingyang, you forgot all about women's looks, virtues, and words? Or is it that Pingyang doesn't talk about these things?"
Lu Mingke's scalp tightened with shock at those light words.
Jiang Shu was reminding him that Shen Qingrong had not only lost face to the Hou family, but also to the Lu family.
Shen Qingrong still didn't know how to restrain himself and continued to say madly: "What does this have to do with you, a pariah? You..."
"Have you had enough trouble? Bang!" Lu Mingke couldn't bear it and slapped Shen Qingrong.
He warned her several times, but she turned a deaf ear to it, and even made the situation worse, causing her to lose face.
Being beaten in public, Shen Qingrong was filled with shame and anger, and stared at Jiang Shu resentfully.
Jiang Shu ignored it and asked Shen Changze: "Does the Marquis pay Jiang Ning a IOU or give Jiang Ning a beating?"
Jiang Shu knew exactly how much property the Hou Mansion had. She knew that Shen Changze still couldn't pay it back, so she asked for an IOU.
Shen Changze had no choice but to agree to issue the IOU.
One thing happened, Jiang Shu asked Shen Qingrong again: "When will you return?"
"You tell me the number, and I'll pay it back for her." Lu Mingke said.
Jiang Shu was surprised and didn't understand why Lu Mingke wanted to repay Shen Qingrong. Did he still have feelings for Shen Qingrong?
If that was the case, then she would have to look up to Shen Qingrong and praise her for her clever methods.
One look at Jiang Shu's expression and it was clear that she was angry. Lu Mingke smiled bitterly and said, "Just think of it as my relationship with her as husband and wife."
This is so profound and thought-provoking.
Jiang Shu's apricot eyes flashed and she agreed.
Ask Lu Mingke to bring Shen Changze's IOU when he pays back the money.
"The accounts have been settled, and the Jiang family has nothing to do with the Hou family anymore."
Seeing Jiang Shu and the others were about to leave, Shen Qingrong covered her face and said unwillingly: "Brother, we can't let them go. She promised to save Yan Yang and the results have not yet come to fruition."
When Shen Changze heard this, he felt a little hesitant.
Lu Mingke looked at Shen Qingrong, his eyes full of disappointment.
At this time, a servant ran in from outside and said anxiously: "Master Marquis, someone is coming from the palace."
Shen Changze looked stern and hurried out of the house to greet him.
After welcoming the emissary into the palace, Shen Changze personally led the eunuch to the main hall of the Hou Mansion.
Lu Mingke and Shen Qingrong followed up.
"Let's go." Jiang Shu put away the book and pulled Jiang Ning away.
Xu Lingyi, who was standing in the distance, shed two lines of tears as she watched Jiang Shu leave gracefully.
The tolerant and generous Jiang Shu is gone. From now on, Cheng Jinchu will be the dominant one in this house, and her life may not be easy.
She never expected that Jiang Shu would leave with Li.
Since the reconciliation incident broke out, Xu Lingyi had asked to see Jiang Shu several times, but Jiang Shu refused.
She only asked Chu Yu to tell her four words: Take care of yourself.
"Madam..." Xu Lingyi was extremely reluctant to leave and watched Jiang Shu leave the Hou Mansion.
The moment he stepped out of the gate of Hou Mansion, Jiang Shu looked up at the sky and smiled happily.
She was finally free.
"Sister, let's go home." Jiang Ning grabbed Jiang Shu's hand and walked to the long-awaited carriage.
"Okay, let's go home." The siblings got into the car hand in hand, and Chu Yu and others got into another carriage.
On a tall roof not far away, Zhuiyun watched them leave, then turned back to report.
In Prince Jing's Mansion, Yu Zheng was writing at his desk.
"Master, Miss Jiang has left the Hou Mansion safely." Zhuiyun bowed.
"Well, send someone to keep an eye on her secretly to protect her, but don't disturb her life." Yu Zheng's pen tip did not stop.
Jiang Shu thought that he would be able to sit back and relax after returning to the Jiang family, but Yu Zheng didn't think so.
