The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 35 Insult
"Just do what Wan'er wants." Mrs. Lu's face was full of exhaustion.

Lu Shanyuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Let Zhao Ruyi fingerprint the two orders, so as not to deny them later." Lu Wan said calmly.

Lu Shanyuan was aroused again, "Lu Wan, don't push people too hard!"

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she kicked her over, "Wan'er forced her to do something! Those things belong to Wan'er. It's a good thing that Wan'er didn't send her to the government! You are simply not a father!"

Lu Shanyuan's eyes widened, "Mother, did you kick me?"

Madam Lu was being supported by Grandma Wu, panting, "What's wrong with me kicking you? I'm going to ask my family to beat you!"

"Mother, I am the Marquis!" Lu Shanyuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"You are a Marquis, so you are not my son? Without me, the Marquis, it would be your turn? How about you drive my old woman and the whole family out? You alone will be in charge of this Marquis' Mansion."

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she almost fainted. Aunt Wu was anxious, "Master Marquis, please don't be angry with me anymore. I almost fainted just now."

"Send away immediately." Madam Lu said with a cold face, not wanting to see her again for a moment.

Lu Shanyuan did not dare to say anything.

Manager Qian and Dongqing directly asked people to grab the unconscious Zhao Ruyi, put their fingerprints on the IOU, and handed it all to Lu Wan for collection.

Lu Wan carefully folded the two IOUs and put them into her arms.

He raised his eyes to see his anxious father, his eyes were slightly lowered, he stepped forward to support Mrs. Lu, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Grandma, my cousin has been a widow for many years. There is also loneliness that can't be tolerated, and there is another one." If anything happens, it may affect the sisters in the Lu family, and it will be difficult for the granddaughter to have face in her husband's family."

Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes slightly and patted her hand, "Don't worry, trust grandma."

Lu Wan smiled, "Of course my granddaughter believes in her grandmother. She can only rely on her grandmother's protection in the future."

"Be good." Mrs. Lu turned to look at Grandma Wu, "Send her a bowl of tonic."

As her cousin's niece, another pregnancy surprise would save her life!

Of course Nanny Wu knew what the tonic was, so she turned around to arrange it.

"Old Madam, Lord Marquis... Marquis Wenxin is here, saying he is here to exchange for the betrothal gift for the Xie family." The concierge hurriedly came to report.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Exchange betrothal gift?
What is this operation?
"You bastard, tell me clearly, what do you want in exchange for the betrothal gift?"

Lu Shanyuan was full of anger and had no place to express it, so he kicked the concierge.

The concierge was kicked all over the place, got up and knelt down quickly, and replied tremblingly: "Back to the Marquis, it was Marquis Wenxin of Jin who invited Marquis Wenxin to give the eldest girl a new betrothal gift. He said that the betrothal gift given by the former son was a thank you. The person who was born under the identity of Second Young Master will now be replaced by someone who is in line with the identity of Prince Xie, and the new betrothal gift has been delivered to the gate."

"Oh?" Lu Shanyuan suppressed his anger, "The status of Crown Prince Xie is different from that of Second Young Master Xie, so the betrothal gifts should be different."

Lu Wan was slightly stunned, wondering what was going on in the Xie Mansion.

Mrs. Lu's face also improved, "Marquis Wenxin is the imperial concubine's biological brother, which gives us enough face. Mr. Marquis, hurry up and take over."

The previous betrothal gift for the second wife of the Xie family was not given by anyone with status. This time, asking Marquis Wenxin to exchange the betrothal gift was considered as giving Lu Wan enough face.

The noble family of Dali Dynasty had three princes and four princes.

The three princes are Qin Guogong, Sun Guogong and Xu Guogong.

The four princes are Wenxinhou, Yongchenghou, Jinwenhou and Wuanhou.

Marquis Wenxin is the head of the Four Marquises and the only one with real power among the four Marquises. He is the elder brother of the imperial concubine. The youngest and third daughter-in-law is the consort of the eldest princess. He is the only royal relative among the Four Marquises.

The group of people arrived at the gate. The door was filled with betrothal gifts, the number of which was also forty-six.

"Oh, thanks for the visit, Marquis Lu." Lu Shanyuan smiled and went up to greet him, taking the lead in saluting him.

Marquis Wenxin returned the gift with his hand raised, "Marquis Lu, congratulations to Miss Xie for becoming the wife of Marquis Wen of Jin." "Marquis Lu, please come inside and have a cup of tea." Lu Shanyuan glanced quickly. The box was larger than the previous batch, indicating that There are more things than before.

The haze just now was gone.

Marquis Wenxin said with a smile, "I have been entrusted by others to be loyal. Madam Xie has told me to hand over the betrothal gift in public. It won't be too late for us to have tea after finishing the work."

"Okay, okay. Madam Xie is so polite. It doesn't matter how much the betrothal gift is. Anyway, she will be carried back to Jin Wenhou's mansion with the little girl." Lu Shanyuan smiled and ordered people to go into the mansion to carry out the forty-six betrothal gifts.

It happened that the second and third bedroom masters were in the house, and the second bedroom's wife quickly encouraged them to come out to watch the fun, and the young lady and the young men who were not in school also followed.

The news that Jin Wenhou's house had changed the betrothal gift disappeared for some unknown reason. People in the capital were watching the excitement, and people sent by nearby officials to inquire about the news surrounded the gate of Wu'an Hou's house.

The servants brought by Marquis Wenxin opened the new list of betrothal gifts and started singing reports.

"The bride price is five hundred taels..."

"Wait a minute!" Lu Shanyuan called out hurriedly and stepped forward to look at the list of betrothal gifts in person. The first item indeed said five hundred taels of gold.

The previous betrothal gift was 1,500 gold, but the new betrothal gift became 500 taels?

Is this the wife of the betrothed prince?

Isn’t this deliberately embarrassing?

Lu Shanyuan's face turned ugly, "Marquis Lu, what does this mean?"

Marquis Wenxin smiled and said, "Marquis Lu, Mrs. Xie just asked me to exchange for the betrothal gift, but she didn't tell me what it was specifically. What? Is the amount of the betrothal gift wrong?"

Lu Wan, who was standing among the crowd in the Lu Mansion, heard clearly.

Mrs. Xie really did it, she even lost her face in order to humiliate her.

Lu Shanyuan's face turned ugly and anxious, "Are you sure this is the betrothal gift?"

"Of course, I'm here in person to give you face, right? How can I be wrong?" Marquis Wenxin smiled and said, "Continue reading."

The boy continued to read, "Ten loads of cakes, three loads of seafood, five loads of wine and fruits..."

The more Lu Shanyuan heard, the darker his face became, and the betrothal gift was reduced by more than two-thirds.

The new forty-six sets of betrothal gifts seemed to be displayed everywhere, but in fact they were all worthless things, and the onlookers who were eating the melons were talking a lot.

"Oh, is this betrothal gift too small? Last time, a fifth-rank official from Yushitai married more than this. The person he married this time was the wife of the eldest son of Xie Mansion."

"I have no family, so I can only wear plain clothes for the rest of my life. I can't go out to socialize, and I don't have much to spend."

"This is not the point. The Xie family is clearly trying to slap the Lu family in the face."

"Who wants to be supported by a noble concubine?"

"No, Miss Lu has offended the imperial concubine, and her life will be difficult in the future."

"Stop talking, let's listen to what Marquis Wenxin says first..."

Mrs. Lu drank a bowl of ginseng soup and felt better physically. She was helped out by the servants to accept the respect. She happened to hear that the last load was a box full of paper money. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood and died on the spot.

"What does this mean? The value is less than half of the previous betrothal gift! I also sent a box of paper money. Does the Xie family intend to humiliate me, the Lu family?"

"Mrs. Lu, don't be angry. After all, the eldest son Xie has passed away, and Mrs. Xie can't make the decision for the eldest brother. The eldest brother can only give so much. As for the paper money, it was Mrs. Miss Lu burned it for Prince Xie. Madam Xie is so considerate." Marquis Wenxin said with a smile.

The onlookers were in an uproar.

This is no ordinary excitement, it is simply a blatant insult.

Moreover, deliberately delivering the goods at the gate was clearly intended to slap Lu Mansion and Lu Wan in the face.
