Princess Huaiyang looked at Gu Nan's pale face, with a flash of pride in her eyes.
"What happened today was just a servant slandering the master. When it comes to the censorship, the Wenchang Hou Mansion is an honorable family that has been passed down for three generations, and the censor will give the Hou Mansion a bit of disrespect.
As for using your dowry, you said it was borrowed, and we didn't say we wouldn't pay it back. We just don't have the money right now.
Since you married into the Xie family, the Xie family is one family. If you chase your mother-in-law and husband to pay off their debts, if word spreads, you will not be left behind. "
"Gu Nan, if you have any brains, you should know that it is even more detrimental to you if you make trouble like this.
It's better to put aside the grudge and talk to each other in a friendly manner. I will still treat you as the wife of the prince of the Hou family, and we are still a family. "
Xie Heng followed closely behind and whispered to Gu Nan.
"What mother said makes sense. Although the servants are hateful, you were not harmed.
You have always understood common sense, so please stop making trouble. I promise that I will love you even more in the future. "
Gu Nan was disgusted by their shameless faces.
What does it mean that she was not killed?
If she hadn't been alert and happened to be reborn, she would have been the one being pushed to the ground, mocked and forced.
Anger filled her limbs, making her hands tremble with anger.
Unable to hold back the anger in her heart any longer, she raised her hand and slapped Xie Heng hard again.
Snapped.
Five slender finger prints appeared on Xie Heng's left face, and the palm prints on his right face had not yet dissipated, one on the left and one on the right, exactly symmetrical.
"Gu Nan, don't be shameless."
Xie Heng did not expect that Gu Nan would dare to hit him again, and his roar almost shook the sky.
Gu Nan looked at him coldly.
“I don’t know whether the censor will give face to the Wenchang Hou Mansion, but the matter involves His Highness Prince Jing.
I don’t know whether in the eyes of the Royal Censor, it is the Hou Mansion that has more face, or the King Jing who has more face. "
She told Ruyi and Ruhua, "Take someone with you and let's go."
Ruyi and Ruhua glared at Xie Heng fiercely, grabbed Changshun's wife and rushed out.
"Stop them for me."
Xie Heng roared in a low voice with a sullen face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants of the Hou Mansion rushed over.
Although the servants on Gu Nan's side tried their best to resist, they were still dispersed.
Just as he was about to be stopped at the gate, a tall young man rushed out from among the servants.
I saw that he had long hands and long legs, and with three strikes, five divided by two, he knocked down the guards of the Hou Mansion.
The way to the door opened.
Gu Nan and others had already rushed to the door.
Xie Hengsheng was afraid that Gu Nan would fight to the death and make trouble at the Yushitai, so he quickly shouted: "I promise you."
Gu Nan paused, turned around and looked over.
Xie Heng said with a dark face, "I will return the village, shop and money to you, okay?"
Gu Nan nodded, "Repay it now."
Xie Heng gritted his teeth and turned to look at Princess Huaiyang.
"Mother, give it back to her."
Princess Huaiyang shook her head, "No, how can I have any money at home?"
"Mother!" Xie Heng's veins were exposed on his head, and he almost growled from between his teeth.
"Give it to her, do you really want her to bring the matter to King Jing?"
Princess Huaiyang felt a little frightened when she thought of King Jing's usual behavior.
But asking her to take out the money and give it back to Gu Nan would be equivalent to drinking her blood and cutting her flesh, which she couldn't do.
Xie Heng knew his mother well, so he had no choice but to give orders to Mother Zhang himself.
"Go to my house and get the title deeds to the shop and Zhuangzi."
Gu Nan shook the small book in his hand, "There are still fifty thousand taels of silver."
Xie Heng could only grit his teeth and add.
"Bring me another fifty thousand taels of silver."
Princess Huaiyang looked at Gu Nan and wanted to tear her apart, "No, don't give it to her."
Xie Heng pinched his brows impatiently and shouted angrily: "Hurry up and go."
Mother Zhang went quickly and came back from Nanshan Hall soon, holding several red deeds and a stack of silver notes in her hand.
Princess Huaiyang's heart and liver trembled with pain, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab it, but Xie Heng grabbed it and gave it to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan looked at the banknote in his hand, feeling even more frightened and angry.
If you can, you can take out 50,000 taels of silver notes, which shows that the Wenchang Hou Mansion is not at all short of resources.
They just teamed up to deceive her.
She handed the thing to Ruyi.
"Count carefully to avoid making mistakes."
Princess Huaiyang was so angry that her lungs hurt.
Xie Heng's face turned darker.
Ruyi stepped forward to take the title deed and inspected it carefully, then counted the votes and said loudly:
"Go back to my lady, the six shops, two villages and fifty thousand taels of silver notes that my wife and the prince borrowed have been returned.
If these things were stored in a bank, the interest would be two thousand taels in less than three years. "
Gu Nan pretended to be surprised, "So much interest? Then wouldn't I lose a lot?"
Ruyi was a little surprised that her girl would answer her words, and nodded quickly.
"Who says it's not the case? The girl is just too kind-hearted, that's why she borrowed it for so long without urging her to pay it back."
Gu Nan sneered.
She will not be a kind-hearted person in this life.
"My mother-in-law also heard it, so let's add another two thousand taels of interest."
Princess Huaiyang was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood and pointed at Gu Nan and cursed.
"You're such a shady person, you even have to pay interest when borrowing money from your family. Are you obsessed with money?"
Gu Nan's eyebrows were slightly raised.
"What my mother-in-law said is wrong. The so-called brothers still settle accounts. Naturally, the creditor has the final say as to whether borrowing money counts as interest."
"Oh, it's fine if you don't pay interest. Then let's go to the Yushitai to find out."
Princess Huaiyang covered her chest and rolled her eyes in anger.
With a dark face, Xie Heng pulled off his purse and threw it to Gu Nan.
"There are two thousand taels of silver notes inside. Take it. Can you put an end to this farce?"
Gu Nan held the purse with two fingers, opened it with his thumb and index finger, and took out two banknotes from it.
Then he threw the purse back with his backhand, then took out the handkerchief and wiped his fingers clean bit by bit.
The look of disgust made Xie Heng's eyes sparkle, as if if he threw it slowly or wiped it slowly, his hands would be contaminated by the purse.
Gu Nan felt very happy to be able to make him angry.
"My mother-in-law and the prince are right. It's really not appropriate to make a fuss at the Yushitai. In that case, I won't go there today."
She turned around and left with her people.
Princess Huaiyang only felt her head buzzing, and her whole body seemed to explode.
She quickly pushed Xie Heng, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Let her keep Changshun's wife."
Xie Heng looked at Gu Nan's leaving figure and pursed his lips tightly.
He had a hunch that even if he asked for someone, Gu Nan would not agree.
In the past, Gu Nan could be coaxed with just a few nice words, so why is it so difficult today?
Xie Heng pinched his eyebrows irritably and glanced at everyone with a sullen face.
"What happened today is rotten in my stomach. If even a word of it gets out, I will be killed immediately."
------
Prince Jing's Mansion.
Ping An hurriedly walked into the study and approached him with great interest.
"My lord, do you want to listen to the fresh and hot gossip?"
Xiao Yan, who was wiping his sword, didn't even raise his eyelids.
"No interest, go out."
"Oh." Ping An touched his nose, turned around and walked out, muttering in his mouth, "I finally found out about it from the Wenchang Hou Mansion. If you don't listen, forget it. I'll go talk to Mr. Ye."
Xiao Yan's ears twitched slightly when he heard the words Wenchang Houfu.
"Get back here."
Ping An rolled his eyes and looked at his master while lying on the table with a smile.
"As a child, I know that the prince still cares about your niece-in-law. After all, you two have been through that."
He moved his hands up and down, then patted them three times, and smiled.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and the sword in Xiao Yan's hand was thrown over.
