Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Xu Nuoyan knew that A Niang had many things to ask her eldest brother in private, so he took the initiative to let them go.

In the carriage.

Without outsiders around, Madam Zhou subconsciously grabbed Xu Nuoshan's arm. Xu Nuoshan felt pain, his face looked miserable, beads of cold sweat the size of beans broke out, and his lips suddenly turned bloodless.

Madam Zhou was startled and subconsciously let go of her hand, confused, "What happened to you?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell from Xu Nuoshan to Chi Mo.

Chi Mo lowered his head and sat outside the car curtain, not daring to say a word.

Mrs. Zhou's tears immediately fell, "Did something happen?"

Mother and son are connected by heart. Xu Nuoshan knew that he could not hide it anymore, so he comforted her weakly, "Mother, I'm fine. It's just that my arm is injured. The doctor and the imperial physician in the palace have all seen me. Even sister Xiaohua has treated me. I just need to take good care of myself for a while and I'll be fine."

"You're injured and you're still saying you're fine!" Madam Zhou began to wipe away her tears. "I thought you'd become the top scholar and would marry a princess. You'd just have to be honest and behave yourself and live a life of wealth without me having to worry about you. It's only been a short time, how come you're injured? Tell me honestly who hurt you, and I'll go and seek justice for you!"

She subconsciously believed that the high-ranking officials in the capital city took action because they were jealous of Xu Nuoshan's success.

Xu Nuoshan shook his head. "Mother, that's not true. The emperor already knows about this matter. He will make the decision for me. Please don't ask anymore."

Seeing her son was so secretive and accompanied by some unfamiliar guards, Madam Zhou had no choice but to shut up and said, "Then I'll go back and take a look at your wound and heal it for you. Don't go out during this period.

Also, I have already helped you pay back the three thousand taels you borrowed from Grandma Yanyan. We can pay back the favor we owe to the prince when we have the ability. Aning said this matter cannot be rushed."

Xu Nuoshan was a little surprised, "Mother, where did you get so much money?"

Madam Zhou sighed, "I sold the shop for two thousand taels of silver, leaving only the small courtyard in the city and the fields on the farm. Apart from other things, I can earn a hundred taels of silver a year just by relying on the income from the farm.

Plus, I've saved more than two thousand taels of silver over the years. After paying back three thousand taels, I still have more than one thousand taels. I don't know if it's enough for you to spend in the capital."

She had inquired on the way and found out that wealthy families also had to hire guards and the like, and the combined monthly salary for servants, big and small, was more than ten or even dozens of taels.

"Ashan, do you think it's okay for me to open another dim sum shop in the capital?" Madam Zhou asked with a frown.

Xu Nuoshan forced a pale smile, "If you like, open it, mother. Anyway, you have Alan by your side. When the time comes, I will buy two maids to take care of you. You can do whatever you want."

Madam Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Xu's house.

Zhou Niang helped Xu Nuoshan get out of the car carefully. Looking at the tall courtyard in front of her, her smile never dropped. "Dad, did you see this? This is our home, our Xu family!"

The group entered the mansion and the housekeeper closed the door.

Madam Zhou didn't have time to look after her own yard and went to check on Xu Nuoshan's wound first. Fortunately, the wound had recovered better today than yesterday and was not scary. She could still hold on.

After Xu Nuoshan applied the medicine again, Madam Zhou asked about the betrothal gift.

Xu Nuoshan told him everything: "My aunt helped to buy the betrothal gifts, but the money was given by the Empress. My aunt used all the money given by the Empress, and also bought a few sets of gorgeous head ornaments, which were brought back from outside the Great Wall by Santie and made by my sister. I estimate that those sets of head ornaments cost 18,000 taels. When the Empress saw them, she was very happy." Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou was happy but also sad, "This way, it will be even harder to repay the favor we owe to the Yang family!"

Xu Nuoshan held Madam Zhou's hand with his backhand, "Mother, don't worry. Although Santie is an official now, it's only temporary. He said that he will go on business in a year or two, and he also said that we can join him. I made a deal with him early, and we'll give it a try then."

Before coming to the capital, he had never realized how important money was. Now that he truly realized how much money can make a hero fall, he naturally had to think of some legitimate ways to make money.

Seeing that her son had taken everything into consideration, Mrs. Zhou stopped worrying at all.

In Guangen Houfu.

Jiang Ning prepared a table of wine and food to welcome his daughter-in-law and daughter.

After they finished their meal, they went back to rest.

Xu Nuoyan thought of Ayana and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. However, it was her first time in the capital, so she couldn't ask too many questions and could only take it step by step.

After a few days of adjustment, Xu Nuoyan and the others had recovered. She also contacted Ayana several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and confirmed that the girl really could not remember much about the things before she was abducted, or perhaps she had even almost forgotten the two years of hardship she had spent in the hands of a human boy. She stayed in the Yang family peacefully, and occasionally went back to the Dong family, but she could not get any information from her.

She was sitting in the pavilion in a daze when Yang Xiaohua came in with a medicine box. "Sister Yan, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Nuoyan came back to his senses and sneered, "We are almost a family, why are you still calling me sister? Just call me second sister-in-law! I was just thinking about my eldest brother Princess Shang.

He was assassinated for no reason, there must be a reason, I think it has something to do with Lord Shang."

Yang Xiaohua paused, then sat down in silence. "Second sister-in-law, just figure it out on your own, don't make a fuss, there's a lot of water behind this. But after this commotion, no one should dare to assassinate Brother Xu again! By the way, I see that Second sister-in-law has been very interested in Ayana these days, have you asked about her life experience?"

Xu Nuoyan shook his head. "I just came to the capital, how can I know as much as you do? I am just a little curious about foreign women."

Yang Xiaohua nodded slightly, smiled, and said, "I have been in contact with Ayana for a while, and I like her true nature. If possible, I also hope to help her find her family as soon as possible."

Ayana's appearance is too special, and most families will not accept women from other tribes. Only by returning to the place where she was born and finding the same tribe members can her future be guaranteed.

The two of them had different thoughts and didn't say anything else.

It was the day of Xu Nuoshan’s wedding.

The Xu Mansion was decorated with lights and everything was ready early on. In order to support the Xu family, the Yang family even loaned out a lot of valuable ornaments.

The princess's procession started from the harem, made a circle, and knelt down to pay homage to the emperor outside the Xuanzheng Hall before leaving the palace.

The two sides of Zhuque Street were crowded with people watching the fun, and many of them envied Xu Nuoshan for becoming a royal consort.

Lan Suiwenhan was standing in a second-floor box facing the street, holding a bow in his hand and making a shooting motion, "Swish! Big brother, do you want to have a go?"

The emperor had clearly found out that they were behind the scenes, but he never said anything. This also encouraged Lan Suiwenhan's arrogance. As long as Xu Nuoshan was killed, Princess Yongyang would not be able to get married! (End of this chapter)
