Xi Qingyan did not take his father's words seriously.

Because she knew that if Xi Chuyu could marry Su Yiting and become the princess in the next moment, her father, Lord Xi, would definitely choose to betray her and Prince Li Su Lixiao without saying anything.

This is the truest face of her father.

"Chuntao, send someone to follow the madam and the second lady to see how they go to the Ministry of Finance to apologize."

"Yes, Miss!"

After receiving the order, Chuntao followed Madam Shangshu and Xi Chuyu to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Hubu Shangshu Mansion has always been sideways in Kyoto, so when Mrs. Shangshu came to visit with Xi Chuyu, the Hubu people directly asked Xi Chuyu and her daughter to wait in the cold wind.

Originally, Xi Chuyu had been beaten, and she had to hold herself up and bring a red sandalwood brocade box to the Ministry of Household Affairs to apologize. This had already made Xi Chuyu feel extremely aggrieved.

Unexpectedly, the Minister of Household Affairs looked down upon others and turned them away directly!

"Mom, why should we let others insult us here?"

Xi Chuyu didn't know that his father had given orders to her mother, and she just thought that all this was her mother's willful action.

"The House of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance does not take my daughter or mother seriously, so why should we humiliate ourselves here? Mother, the pain on my body is dead, let's go back to the house?"

Xi Chuyu was punished by the family and beaten up by the people in the house. Although those people were merciful and did not dare to take her life, the pain on Xi Chuyu's body was not much at all.

"shut up!"

Mrs. Shangshu suddenly became angry when she heard Xi Chuyu chattering in her ear.

"Do you know that the reason why we, mother and daughter, are today is because you are too stupid? Do you know that there are some people in Kyoto that you cannot mess with?"

In front of outsiders, Mrs. Shangshu usually defends her daughter Xi Chuyu.

But what Xi Chuyu did this time really disappointed her!

"When you left Wutong Garden, you swore to me that you could convince His Highness Su Yiting, and then use His Highness Su Yiting's hand to bring down Xi Qingyan!"

"Look what you did after you tricked me into staying at Wutong Garden for you?"

"You are actually wandering around the market with such arrogance? Do you know that I at home have been waiting for news about you with trepidation?"

"It's fine if you're just wandering around. Why do you want to provoke that unreasonable woman from Zhou's family?"

What Xi Chuyu did and did made Mrs. Shangshu unable to bear it any longer!

"I took you to so many banquets and met with so many powerful people when you were a child. Why can't you learn from them?"

Mrs. Shangshu devoted her life's efforts to Xi Chuyu.

She worked hard to train Xi Chuyu into a famous lady praised by everyone in Kyoto, but the result was such a disappointment to her!

"Well done! Mrs. Xi, now you finally know how much your daughter can't stand up to the wall!"

Before Xi Chuyu could speak, the door of the House of Lords opened from inside.

Mrs. Zhou took her daughter Li Jiaojiao out of the mansion and ridiculed Xi Chuyu and her daughter.

"If you had seen earlier that your daughter was a complete waste, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"you……!!"

When Xi Chuyu heard Zhou's words, he immediately became furious.

She has always been the distinguished second young lady of the Ministry of Etiquette, but now Mrs. Zhou actually called her a waste in front of her!

Xi Chuyu felt that it was too much for the other party to be so unwilling to forgive even though she personally came to apologize, which had given the House of Revenue a lot of face!

"What are you? Xi Chuyu, is it wrong for my mother to scold you? You don't even look at how many embarrassing things you have done in Kyoto these days!"

Li Jiaojiao was raised by the Zhou family. In addition to being unruly and willful, Li Jiaojiao also has a very aggressive personality.

When she saw that Xi Chuyu was not convinced, she was angry at Xi Chuyu.

"Do you think that anyone can wear my Li Jiaojiao's jewelry? Xi Chuyu, you are not even worthy of carrying my Li Jiaojiao's shoes! You actually want to possess my things!"

As a noble girl from a well-known family in Kyoto, Li Jiaojiao would not take Xi Chuyu and her daughter seriously at all.

In her opinion, Xi Chuyu and her daughter's visit this time was tantamount to humiliating themselves!

"...!"

"...!"

The words of Li Jiaojiao and her daughter made Xi Chuyu and Mrs. Shangshu stunned. Fortunately, Mrs. Shangshu knew that this matter was of great importance, so she suppressed her aggravation, forced out a smile, held the brocade box in both hands, and handed it to Li Jiaojiao.

"It is true that my daughter did something wrong in this matter. Today I brought her and this red sandalwood brocade box to my door to apologize. Miss Li and Mrs. Li, please have a lot of it, so you can spare my daughter this time.

"

"Forgive me? Madam Xi, are you really saying this lightly?"

Mrs. Li retorted with a sneer.

"My daughter will soon be the princess of the county. Now, your daughter Xi Chuyu has touched the dowry she set. Do you think I can forgive you for this?"

"I just took it with my hands. I didn't wear this pair of hairpins! Don't talk nonsense here and try to put hats on my head!"

Xi Chuyu responded aggressively to Li Jiaojiao and her daughter, and was very dissatisfied.

"Mrs. Xi, look, you think you did something wrong. It's a pity that your daughter doesn't think she did something wrong. Since you and your daughter haven't even made it clear what's right and what's wrong, why don't I give you and your daughter some time?

After you figure out for yourself whether you were wrong, you can come to my house again!"

Mrs. Zhou sneered and sneered.

"It's just that good things are approaching in our House of Ministers of the Ministry of Finance. If you come to visit us next time, I'm afraid we may not have time to see you!"

When Xi Chuyu's mother heard this, she reached out and slapped Xi Chuyu directly!

"Snapped!"

"Mom, why did you hit me?"

Xi Chuyu thought she could go back to the Minister of Rites' Mansion with her mother, but unexpectedly she was slapped by her mother.

"Stop talking! Xi Chuyu, you just need to listen to me as a mother today!"

Xi Chuyu was so scolded by her mother that she froze on the spot, while Li Jiaojiao and the others laughed heartily when they saw the clear slap marks on Xi Chuyu's face.

After all, they were just going out to have fun!

When Xi Chuyu's mother saw Li Jiaojiao and her daughter smiling wildly, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth to endure everything.

She knew that she had no way out today.

If she cannot be forgiven by the Minister of Household Affairs, she may no longer be the wife of the Minister of Rites!

It took a lot of effort for her to achieve the identity and status she has today. She doesn't want to go back to the precarious and impoverished days she once had!

"Mrs. Li, Miss Li, today I am leading Xi Chuyu to seek your understanding. No matter what conditions you propose, I will work hard to achieve them."

"Okay, Mrs. Xi didn't expect you to be cheerful for a while! In that case, I won't continue to waste time with you here, let's open the skylight and talk openly!"

Mrs. Zhou felt very happy when she saw Mrs. Xi's rare resignation.

"My conditions are also very simple. The first one is that you need to go to the best jewelry store in Kyoto and spend ten thousand taels to buy a new set of jewelry for my daughter Li Jiaojiao. Remember, if you dare to fool me, my wife

It will definitely make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in Kyoto!"

The first of Zhou's conditions was to kill Xi Chuyu's mother.

The only house deed in her hand now has been mortgaged to Xi Qingyan, and she exchanged it for silver to buy the red sandalwood brocade box.

Now she has no extra money.

"What? Is my condition very difficult? You are the wife of the Minister of Rites, so you can't even afford a mere 10,000 taels?"

Zhou said deliberately sarcastically.

She was well aware of Xi Chuyu's mother's current status in the Ministry of Etiquette's Shangshu Mansion.

He wants the lion to open his mouth and tell lies, and the vain Mrs. Xi will be punished with a huge sum of money.

"Okay...I promise you."

Xi Chuyu's mother struggled for a long time, but after hearing Zhou's words, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.

They can think of other ways to solve the money problem, but the most important thing right now is that her position as the wife of the Minister of Etiquette cannot be lost.

"mother!?"

Xi Chuyu thought her mother must be crazy!

Mother and daughter now know everything. Where are they going to get these ten thousand taels?

"Shut up! There is no place for you to interrupt here!"

Without saying a word, Mrs. Xi stopped her daughter Xi Chuyu, and then gave Xi Chuyu a trick.

"Mrs. Li, as long as I prepare ten thousand taels, can you forgive my daughter for what she did today?"

"Mrs. Xi, what great things are you thinking about? I just mentioned one thing!"

How could Mrs. Zhou let go of Xi Chuyu and her daughter so easily?
