Chapter 146 Timely Rain

gave you two bowls of water.""What kind of water""That's the water we boiled last time at the campsite. There's no water source here, so we can only drink the stored water.""Are you sure you didn't gi...Mrs. Cui waved her hand dismissively. "What nonsense Go play with your new daughter-in-law if you want to show off. This old woman won't serve you anymore! As for you, take care of your own daughter at home. If I hear her speak out of turn again, I'll spread the word all over Kyoto about when we separated. After all, I am free now, and I already have my dowry. I won't honor our agreement, so what can you do to me" She gave Mrs. Jiao a long, hard look before withdrawing her triumphant smirk. 。"Don't think I'll come back to fight you for this embroidered pouch! It's just my leftovers, take it if you want! After all...leftovers with a dog, forever and ever!" Saying that, she turned around gracefully, laughing as she left the mansion. 。All the servants in the courtyard lowered their heads, wishing they could hide in a crack in the ground. They didn't dare to look at the faces of the Marquis and his wife. 。But outside the door, Mr. Liu and his companions laughed and cheered, "Good! She is indeed a daughter of the Cui family, not letting down the reputation of Master Cui!"Mr. Wen's status made it inappropriate for him to speak up, so he had remained silent until now. 。At this moment, he stood at the bottom of the steps, looking up at his junior sister who had washed away the dust and regained her brilliance. His heart beat faster than it had when they were young. 。After all, Old Master Liu was getting old and tired. He called Mrs. Cui forward and instructed, "We'll head back now. As for the remaining details, discuss them with your brother-in-law." 。As a woman, it's best to stay out of the limelight and let him do more work. Don't spread rumors about this outside. 。"Alright, Uncle. I won't stand on ceremony. Right now, the only people I can rely on are my own family. How could I be formal with you and my brother-in-law" 。Mrs. Cui readily agreed, without any hesitation. This made Old Master Liu even happier. 。Before, this child was hesitant and even after his father passed away, he didn't visit their family much, fearing they would overthink things. Now that he is completely free from the shackles, he seems much more carefree. 。Then Mrs. Cui bowed and thanked the other two old gentlemen, who were also pleased. 。"Back then when we were down on our luck, it was thanks to your father's righteous words and tireless efforts that we managed to..." 。It's a pity he passed away too early. Now we can do our best for his daughter, which is also considered to comfort his soul in heaven. 。"Soon, the old men all got into the carriage. Liu Ziheng also stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to take people to get your manor and shops back as soon as possible. If it's too late, be careful that the Hou Mansion will make a move." 。"Go back quickly and get your dowry ready. If anything comes up, just have someone find me." 。“Thank you, brother-in-law, for your help. When things are settled, I will surely repay you.” 。Among family, there's no need to be polite. 。Liu Zhiheng waved his hand, finished speaking and turned to Mr. Wen, asking, “Mr. Wen, are you still going back to the court”

Mr. Wen nodded, “Thank you, Brother Liu, for your concern. I will go to the Ministry of Officials soon.” 。This time I don't want to be at the Hanlin Academy anymore, I want to make up for what's missing. 。I used to view power as worthless, but now I realize that power is also a protective armor for my family. 。" Well, well, about time. " 。If I had a younger brother with all this knowledge, I wouldn't have to spend my days doing chores. 。sense are you talking about If this gets out, the whole family will be ruined!”There are some things that can be planned, but absolutely cannot be spoken out loud.What are the Empress's relatives plot...
