Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 87: Proposal with Silver Notes

Lord Shen stamped his feet in anger, "Ling'er, you are so confused. Why can't you change your mind now? Although you and Gu are not getting along now, you are still husband and wife. A husband and wife is bound by love for a hundred days. Even if she can't understand it temporarily, she can't really do anything to you."

As long as Gu Nianchu doesn't divorce Shen Ling, they have a chance!

This is what Lord Shen thinks, but Shen Ling doesn't think so.

"Dad, please think about how much I have suffered in the past two months. I have new injuries on my body before the old ones have healed. If the Gu family really still had a little affection for me, how could I be in this situation now? Dad, we have no other choice."

Shen Ling's words made Lord Shen ponder: "Ling'er, let's think about this matter again. As long as the Gu family doesn't make any other moves, we will wait and see."

What else could Shen Ling say? He couldn't even move now.

He felt the wounds on his body start to hurt again, both painful and itchy.

Gu Nianchu soon learned that Shen Ling had taken the second magic medicine. She smiled and said, "You can't blame others. You can't control yourself. You deserve it."

Han Chan entered the room quietly: "Miss, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi has brought a message. Aunt Xu is the cousin of the Prince of Wei."

King Wei’s cousin?
So that's how it is. In the previous life, it was the King of Wei who fought for the final position. The key point was that he used me to harm the General's Mansion, and then the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Nianchu's fingernails dug deeply into the palm of his hand.

Gu Nianchu, all this is because you trusted Shen Ling!
Han Chan found that something was wrong with the young lady. She stretched out her hand and pried open Gu Nianchu's hand: "Young lady, what are you doing? Even if her status is high, it's a piece of cake to deal with her. Don't be sad."

Gu Nianchu nodded: "Yes, I understand."

When Han Chan retreated, her eyes were a little red.

Nanny Tian reached out and held Han Chan's hand, then pulled Han Chan to her own room.

"Madam Tian, ​​I know I was wrong."

Han Chan admitted her fault in a low voice. Nanny Tian reached out and gently patted the back of Han Chan's hand: "Han Chan, Nanny knows that you were sent by His Royal Highness Prince Qi to take care of our master. You did nothing wrong. Without your help these days, our master would have been very sad. I invited you here to thank you."

Han Chan repeatedly said that she dared not: "Madam, I don't dare to accept it."

Nanny Tian whispered, "Han Chan, don't be afraid. What Nanny wants to tell you is that we all hope that our eldest daughter can divorce the prince. It's really depressing to live like this."

That night, Gu Nianchu slept soundly. As long as she knew that the Shen family was not doing well, she would feel better.

After the Chinese New Year, many families visit relatives, and the ladies send out invitations to invite guests to dinner.

The Marquis' Mansion is very deserted this year.

No one sent a message to Old Madam Shen and Shen Jiao. Even if there was a message, it was only sent to Gu Nianchu.

Shen Jiao tried to commit suicide for several days, and even tried hanging herself and going on a hunger strike, but given the current situation in the Marquis' Mansion, no one dared to speak up for her and say no to marrying.

There was no trace of Shen Yun, and the Marquis' Mansion was filled with gloom all day long.

The maid beside Shen Jiao persuaded Shen Jiao to stop making trouble and went to find Old Madam Shen to say that she was willing to get married.

"Mother, Jiao'er knows she is wrong, and she is willing to marry into the Taifu Mansion."

Shen Jiao's words finally made Old Madam Shen smile a little: "Jiao Jiao, now there is only one way. Since you are willing, I will ask your father to send someone to the Taifu Mansion to tell him." "Mother, you said before that you wanted to borrow my dowry temporarily. Now I am getting married, and my dowry should be returned."

Shen Jiao opened her mouth and told her the purpose of her visit. Old Madam Shen hesitated, "Jiao Jiao, you know the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion. You should understand your mother."

Shen Jiao sneered: "Mother, I understand you, but who will understand me? If you were not incompetent, I would not have to commit myself to an old man who could be my grandfather? Now you are still withholding my dowry! Mother, are you really my biological mother?"

Faced with her daughter's accusations, Old Madam Shen was so angry that her upper and lower lips trembled and she looked like she was about to faint.

Shen Jiao said calmly: "Mother, there is no need to pretend to faint and accuse your daughter of being unfilial. If the Marquis's Mansion does not prepare a dowry for me to marry in a grand manner, then your daughter will not marry and will stay at home to serve you for the rest of her life."

After saying this, Shen Jiao just stood up and left.

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she burst into tears. Madam Liu and Madam Li hurriedly comforted Madam Shen and asked her to relax.

"Old Madam, the best plan now is to have the Marquis go to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion as soon as possible to inform him. As long as the betrothal gift from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion is large enough, then the Third Miss will naturally have a dowry when she gets married."

Madam Li's words brightened up Old Lady Shen's eyes: "Go and ask the Marquis to come over."

When Lord Shen heard that Shen Jiao was willing to marry, he asked someone to go to the Taifu Mansion to deliver a letter to Taifu Wang. Taifu Wang was very straightforward and said directly that they were willing to give a betrothal gift of 200,000 to show their sincerity.

Lord Shen and Old Madam Shen were still happy when they heard the number of two hundred thousand.

They thought that when the time comes, they would give a betrothal gift of 100,000 as a dowry, and then marry Shen Jiao into the Taifu Mansion, and they would still have 100,000 left for expenses in the mansion.

The Taifu Mansion is going to form a marriage alliance with the Marquis Mansion, and they have agreed on a time to propose marriage.

Old Madam Shen also asked Gu Nianchu to help greet the guests in advance.

Gu Nianchu had heard from Han Chan in advance that there would be something interesting to watch when the betrothal gift was paid, so she came leisurely.

Wang Taifu invited the Prime Minister's wife to come and propose marriage.

The door to the Marquis's mansion was wide open, but what was unexpected was that the Prime Minister's wife entered the mansion alone. There were no servants carrying the betrothal gifts behind her, only two maids holding boxes.

"Mrs. Lin, this is..."

Madam Shen looked behind Madam Lin in confusion: "Where is the betrothal partner?"

Madam Lin smiled calmly at Madam Shen, "Madam Hou, they are the ones who are offering the betrothal gift. The Imperial Tutor's Mansion said the betrothal gift is 200,000 yuan. The Imperial Tutor is old now, and there is no one in his family to help him. He is also afraid that someone will embezzle the betrothal money, so he directly sent the 200,000 yuan in silver notes."

"The Grand Tutor also said that in order not to trouble the Marquis's Mansion, there is no need to be particular about the betrothal gift. Just send the banknote back as a dowry."

Mrs. Lin's words stunned Mrs. Shen: "Mrs. Lin, this..."

Gu Nianchu covered her mouth and laughed.

"Madam Hou, the Grand Tutor said that he had heard that the dowry of the Crown Prince's wife was replaced by the servants in the mansion. He was also worried that such a thing would happen. If he sent the betrothal gifts, but the dowry he brought was all fake, the Grand Tutor's mansion could not afford to lose this person."

"Silver bills are better. You can just send them back the same way they were sent. It's easy to count them."
