Chapter 34

Changsun gasped after hearing the steward's report, "She really said that?"

"That's right." The butler's ears were still wrapped in gauze, but he could still hear Jinning's deliberately high-pitched words clearly, "She told Mr. Li that way, and Mr. Li obviously agreed."

"This Li Liangsheng is so ruthless!" Changsun said through gritted teeth.

"Cousin, we can't delay any longer, let the general do something right away!"

The Changsun family pondered for a while, "However, the supervisory office is currently investigating eldest brother, if you act rashly at this time..."

The housekeeper said: "Cousin, because of this, we must act quickly. Before Lord Hou returns to Beijing, it is best for Miss Cousin to marry into the Hou Mansion. Even a flat wife is better than a concubine. A flat wife is also a serious marriage. When the time comes, can Lord Hou just sit back and do nothing about the affairs of Zhang Sun's family? Once we get married, we will all be prosperous, and all will be damaged. With Lord Hou around, we have to be afraid of inspecting the yamen and even the Southern Prison."

"You're right, go find your brother right away, and tell him what the stakes are," Changsun said.

"Yes!" The butler quickly bowed and retreated.

Mrs. Jiang Ninghou has always acted vigorously and resolutely.

After Li Liangsheng went back and told Jin Ning what he meant, Mrs. Jiang Ninghou had already asked someone to choose an auspicious day, and called a matchmaker to come to Changsun's mansion to inform her, and told Changsun Yan'er to choose a day to enter the house.

The next day, the gift from the Hou Mansion arrived.

According to the rules of taking concubines, the etiquette is not much, and almost all of them are converted into silver.

This was a slap in the face of Changsun Ba.

He is already a general, but Mrs. Jiang Ninghou's approach is to treat the eldest grandson's family as a small family.

Changsun Ba's simple and honest face showed a ferocious look.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the Ewha Garden is gradually on track.

After Haitang recovered from her injury, Jin Ning let her only serve in the house, and she was not allowed to do any other work.

Qingying and Lihua were promoted, while Shiliu was in charge of the affairs outside the house.

As for Chen Gou, the princess's guard who stayed in the Ewha Garden, he became good friends with Xiao Hei. The reason was that Xiao Hei ran out that day and met Chen Liangzhu, the son of the Duke's Mansion. They called a few servants to surround him, just as Chen Gou arrived and rescued Xiao Hei, but he also offended Chen Liangzhu.

Since then, Chen Gou has become the hero of Ewha Garden, wherever he goes, Xiao Hei follows him, one person and one dog, almost inseparable.

However, as long as Jin Ning whistles, Xiao Hei will run back wagging his tail. The generation of hero Chen Gou is very sad about this, pointing at Xiao Hei and berating him for hurting others.

Lihua always looked at him with wide eyes, and then covered her face and ran back to tell Haitang that Hero Chen Gou is very educated.

Chen Gou won the favor of several maids in Ewha Garden.

On this day, Changsun ordered someone to come to Lihuayuan, explaining that he would take Jinning out to look at the shop tomorrow, and meet the shopkeeper in the shop by the way.

Hearing this, Haitang happily said to Jinning: "Madam finally returned the Zhuangzi shop to you, miss. It's really great."

Jin Ning smiled slightly, "Yeah, I've waited too long, call the hero, I have something to tell him."

She will always get back her mother's wealth, she is not in a hurry.

She was just waiting for the Changsun family to make a move.

The next day, Changsun called Leng He, the maid beside her, to inform Jinning that the sun was so bad during the day that Shen Shimo left for Zhuangzi and would stay overnight in Zhuangzi.

"Didn't you say to go to the shop? Why did you go to Zhuangzi?" Haitang asked Leng He.

Leng He glared at her, "Madam said to go to Zhuangzi, then go to Zhuangzi, why are you talking so much?"

Haitang was choked up, she didn't dare to make a sound, and retreated back in a murmur.

On the contrary, Qingying said coldly: "Sister Leng He, the itinerary has changed, and Miss San can't ask?"

Leng He looked at Jin Ning's indifferent face, remembering what she did to Zhang's mother, she held back her breath and said, "That's what Madam said, we are slaves, how dare we ask more questions?"

"Go back and tell Madam, Shen Shimo, I'll be waiting for her at the door." Jin Ning said calmly.

Hearing this, Leng He didn't answer, turned around and left.

Haitang said indignantly: "Even though you are serving by Madam's side, you can't be so arrogant to Miss San!"

Jin Ning smiled lightly, "Little Haitang, we are used to getting angry in this Ewha Garden."

"The servant is wronged for the young lady."

Ever since Haitang betrayed Jin Ning, but Jin Ning rescued her younger brother regardless of past suspicions, she swore to herself that even if she put her life to the test, she would not allow anyone to hurt Miss.

Seeing Leng He disrespecting Jin Ning now, her teeth itch with hatred.

Jin Ning said: "Okay, let's get ready to go to Zhuangzi, Haitang, you and Shiliu will follow me, Qingying and Lihua will stay in the house."

Shi Liu, who was standing outside the door, was racking her brains on how to get Jin Ning to take her there, when she heard Jin Ning's words, she hurriedly said: "Yes, this servant will clean up right away."

Jin Ning watched her leave quickly with cold eyes, raised her lips and smiled lightly.

When Jinning's biological mother, Mrs. Zhen, married Chen Guogong, Mrs. Zhen gave her a lot of dowry because she was afraid that she would suffer hardship in the future.

Mrs. Zhen's natal family is in business, and there are not many other things, but a lot of money and a lot of business. Mrs. Zhen only has one daughter, and the lintel of her marriage is not high, so there are six Zhuangzi in dowry. Yaoting Zhuangzi, where Qingzhou lived, was also Zhen's dowry.

There are more than 30 stores in each state.

Among them, the silver deposits in the gold and silver jewelry and silver accounts are not counted. These alone are enough to make Jin Ning worry-free for a few lifetimes.

However, most of these things are in the hands of the old lady, and the rest are held by Changsun.

Chen Guogong trusted his aunt very much, and he never doubted the Changsun family before. He never asked about the affairs of the inner house, and his own salary was also handed over to the Changsun family for management.

Before Jinning said that he would get back Zhen's dowry, he said that he could not trust Changsun and the old lady. He was very angry in his heart. He felt that Jinning was a villain and valued interests more than family affection.

But later, seeing that Changsun even wanted to covet the 500 taels of gold that the emperor rewarded, he became resistant to Changsun. These days, he asked her to return the Zhuangzi shop to Jinning several times.

The Changsun family had no choice but to agree, and told Chen Guogong that she would take Jinning to the Zhuangzi to hand over.

Chen Guogong saw that she agreed simply, and thought about which woman is not short-sighted?

The bit of grudge against her was let go, and he moved back to Yongming Pavilion.

However, to be on the safe side, he asked Junior Three to accompany him to Zhuangzi.

Naturally, Jin Ning didn't know about this. After packing up her clothes and belongings, Shen Shimo was at the gate on time.

It was only when Jinning reached the door that he realized that Chen Jinrui and Changsun Yan'er were also accompanying him.

When Chen Jinrui saw Jinning, his expression was very indifferent, and he turned his head to talk to Changsun Yan'er.

On the contrary, Mrs. Changsun stepped forward and said to Jin Ning: "We are going to stay in Zhuangzi for one night, have you packed all your clothes?"

Jin Ning said: "Bring it."

"That's good, let's get in the carriage." Changsun raised his hand and ordered his servants to come and carry things.
