"Then what do you want me to do?" Ruan Zhen became impatient, and Lou Lian's scolding tone made her frown deeply.
"What should I do? Mom, you clearly agreed that you will prepare a generous dowry for me! I don't care, I must see ten miles of red makeup on the day of my wedding!" Lou Lianxin's head exploded with a "buzz", she couldn't imagine what would happen if Without a dowry, she is not even as good as a woman from an ordinary family. When she arrives at the Li family, how can she hold up her face
Ruan Zhen trembled from Lou Lianxin's waywardness.
She was already full of anger at the Ruan's house, but at this moment, her daughter pointed at her face and yelled at her like this. She became angry from embarrassment, and her face turned cold.
"Then you don't want to marry!"
"..."
Lou Lianxin was completely stunned, staring at Ruan Zhen in disbelief.
After a long while, he muttered in a daze, "Mother, do you think your daughter is a burden too?"
"Lian'er, I..." Ruan Zhen regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth, but she yelled out as soon as her head got hot. At this moment, seeing Lou Lian's eyes of accusation, her heart was twisted together, and she wanted to explain, but she He just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Lou Lianxin waving his hand!
"I know, you don't need to say it! If there is no dowry, there will be no dowry! I don't need you to care about it!" Gritting his molars and shouting, Lou Lian turned around bitterly, and ran away.
"Lian'er!" Ruan Zhen hurriedly shouted from behind, chased several steps, but failed to catch up with Lianxin upstairs, almost fell, and finally dropped her heart in resentment.
Dejectedly slumped his shoulders, turned around silently, and sat weakly on the chair.
In the end, he tightened the handrail, Lou Qingwu, you have bullied my mother and daughter so far, I, Ruan Zhen, are at odds with you!
In Yifeng Pavilion, Lou Qingwu was lying on a soft couch in the yard reading a book, and sneezed inexplicably. Lan Bai stepped forward immediately, helped her get a cloak and covered it.
"Master, Feng Liang, why don't you go back to the house and have a look."
"It's okay." Lou Qingwu shook her head, she was tired of people after staying in the room for a long time.
Lan Bai wanted to say something else, when a figure suddenly appeared behind her, her back felt cold, and when she turned around, she saw Qian Mian appeared behind her at some time. She patted her chest in shock, stared at Qianmian and said nothing, still angry at being scared by using human skin.
Qian Mian shrugged, turned and walked past her to Lou Qingwu.
"Master, Patriarch Ruan went to the inn to find the Taoist priest again, and I asked him to go back first."
"Well, has Ruan Zhen been to Ruan Mansion?"
"Go, I went early today, I guess Patriarch Ruan didn't give her a good look, and when he came back, his whole face was dark." Qian Mian was full of joy, and now thinking of Ruan Zhen's face is still very relieved.
"That's the time to hand over the mother Gu worm to Ruan Xiuren, and tell him that as long as the jar is protected, Mrs. Ninth will be... safe and sound."
"Will Patriarch Ruan believe this?" Qian Mian was a little worried.
"Believe it or not, it's up to him, he has no choice. Tell him that this is the mother Gu worm of Qiantianzui. Once the mother worm dies, the larvae will also die immediately. Before dying, it will destroy the internal organs of Mrs. Ninth. At that time, the gods will be hard to save." Lou Qingwu paused when his eyes fell on the scroll, and continued, "If he asked about the method of transferring Gu worms into the body of the closest relatives, he would say that it is possible, but if it fails, Ninth Madam's close relatives will die. As long as he protects the mother Gu worm temporarily, Ninth Madam's life will not be in danger for at least twenty years."
"Huh? Then what if he insists on using another method?" Qian Mian felt that Patriarch Ruan would definitely be able to do this.
"Some things, it's not that he said he wants it, so he has to follow him." Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes, without any emotion in her eyes, "However, he won't ask for it for the time being."
"Huh? Why?"
"The foundation of the Ruan family has been shaken now. He is too busy. He will definitely not gamble with my life at this time. My death is not good for him." These days, those rumors in the market are very important to her. Although the words are inappropriate, it is necessary for Ruan Xiuren to think about it. After all, she is connected with the second prince and the third prince.
"Yes, this subordinate understands!" Qian Mian understood immediately, and his eyes lit up immediately.
After taking the Gu worm pot handed over by Lan Bai, he disappeared into the wind-yielding courtyard with a flicker of his figure, only curled up a fallen leaf, and drifted to an unknown corner with the wind.
Two days later, the day Lou Lianxin left the pavilion.
The Lou Mansion is extremely low-key, because Lou Qufeng married Lou Lianxin to the Li family as a concubine, and Lou Qufeng didn't even entertain the guests. , it was Ruan Zhen with teary eyes, and after that, it was just a hatchback dowry. Lou Qufeng frowned, and looked at the back a few more times, it was indeed only the hatchback, his expression darkened immediately, and he secretly pulled Ruan Zhen aside.
"Ma'am, why is there only so little dowry? What about the ten miles of red makeup Patriarch Ruan said?"
"Something happened to the gold shop, the eldest brother said to make up for it another day." Ruan Zhen lowered her eyes, using a veil to hide the resentment in her eyes, Lian'er got married, and he came out from the fourth lady half an hour ago.
Why doesn't she hate this? Why not complain
"Really?" Lou Qufeng obviously didn't believe it, the Ruan family has a big business, when will the dowry be made up later? "But it's just the hatchback, isn't it a bit shabby?"
"If the master thinks it's shabby, why don't the master take out some silver taels to buy Lian'er as a dowry?" Ruan Zhen raised her head, looking at Lou Qufeng with tears in her eyes.
"This... the old man has been a little tight recently. Madam, you know that a few days ago, because of Lian'er, I gave the emperor nearly 10,000 taels of gold, and there is no more money in the house." Lou Qufeng heard If you want to take it yourself, immediately find an excuse to shirk it.
"..." Ruan Zhen gritted her teeth and lowered her eyes and did not speak again.
She had guessed this a long time ago, but when she really heard it, she still felt chilled.
But didn't I already know it? Back then he was able to marry her for the protection of the Ruan family and abandon Ning Xin, wasn't it because the Ning family collapsed and she was the sister of the head of the Ruan family
Taking a deep breath, Ruan Zhen smiled coolly, "If that's the case, then so be it."
But for today's embarrassment, she will make them pay back one by one in the future!
Ten steps away, Li Jingsheng was riding on a tall horse with no expression on his face, his body was covered in red, and he looked at the bride indifferently.
Looking away again, she landed on the dowry behind her, which was equivalent to no dowry, and a sneer twitched from the corner of her mouth. If it wasn't for Patriarch Ruan's face that he insisted on this marriage, how could he have married her? Thinking of the embarrassment of that night, the cold light in Li Jingsheng's eyes could almost shine on Lou Lianxin through the red hijab.
The hijab flicked inadvertently, and Lou Lianxin's eyes fell on Li Jingsheng, just in time to see this scene.
Suddenly, fell into the ice cellar.
