Xin Nianyan couldn't feel how much Zhang Yunhui hated him, but thinking about it, it wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

She watched as her servants moved the dowry from six warehouses back to the warehouse in the courtyard where Chen Shiying lived.

In order to prevent omissions, she specially asked Butler Zhu to count them. If there were any missing items, she would find something of equal value in Huilan Courtyard to replace them.

Butler Zhu was personally promoted by Chen Shiying back then, so he was naturally willing to listen to Xin Nianyan.

It wasn't until all the dowries were gone that Xin Nianyan left with satisfaction.

Along the way, the smile on her lips never faded.

In her previous life, she didn't get back any of these dowries. When she got married, because she was marrying the prince, the Prime Minister's Mansion did purchase a pretty good dowry, plus some additional dowries prepared by the Duke's Mansion.

Not bad either.

But compared to this, it's still far behind.

Finally, Qin Yan ascended the throne, and Xin Rouer was carried into the palace as a noble concubine. What she brought with her was a dowry that could shock half of the capital.

In this life, whatever belongs to her or does not belong to her, Xin Rouer will never get it again!

She just wanted to make her lose everything!

The dowry incident caused a sensation in the entire prime minister's house. When Xin Rouer learned about it, she fainted from anger.

It was not easy to be awakened by Caixia. Her first words were: "It's gone, it's gone, it's gone!"

"Those things clearly belong to me, why should Xin Nianyan take them away, why!!"

Xin Rouer's expression was no better than Zhang Yunhui's, her eyes were also red and her whole body was shaking with anger.

No matter how much Caixia tried to comfort her, it was of no use. In the end, Xin Rouer slapped her in the face and vented all her anger on her.

Caixia was so frightened that she fell to her knees and did not dare to say another word.

…

Back at the Yanyun Courtyard, Xiaozhu, who had been reluctant to speak, was so happy that she almost hugged Xin Nianyan.

"Ah, ah, Miss, Miss, I really got those dowries back, I really got them back, ah, Miss, you are so amazing!!"

The little girl's face turned red with excitement and she wanted to scream.

She had watched helplessly as Zhang Yunhui's people moved away those dowries over the years.

She thought she would never get them back, but she didn't expect that the lady would get them all back today. How could she not be excited?

The other servants of Yanyunyuan were naturally aware of what was going on outside. Seeing how excited Xiaozhu was, and hearing her words again, they all had complicated expressions.

Especially Chunxiang Chuncao, they didn't know how to describe their mood for a while.

Perhaps they should be glad that they woke up early and moved to the eldest lady's side.

Otherwise, if I keep doing things for my wife, I'm afraid the outcome will not be much better in the future.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current eldest lady is no longer the weak and incompetent eldest lady before.

"Well, you are also very powerful."

Xin Nianyan patted Xiaozhu's head and couldn't help but feel happy when she saw her face flushed with excitement.

After returning to the house, Xiaozhu was excited for a while, and then slowly calmed down.

Seeing that she was finally quiet, Xin Nianyan said amusedly: "Are you happy?"

Xiaozhu smiled sheepishly: "Miss, you are teasing me~"

Xin Nianyan shook his head, and then Shi Wu walked in from outside.

Xin Nianyan and Xiao Zhu both looked at her: "Sister Shi Wu is back."

"Is the matter done?"

Shi Wu said: "Well, I listened to the young lady and bought a coffin. I found a few people to help her bury her mother and gave her five taels of silver before she came back."

Xin Nianyan nodded: "Well, thank you for your hard work. Let's go back and rest."

"Yes, I will leave this slave." Shi Wu withdrew.

Xiaozhu looked at her back, thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss, why did you say she would come to you again?"

"You have already given her money, and you have not said you want to buy her. Shouldn't she find a place to live a good life on her own?"

Can that woman still sell herself into slavery?

Who would sell himself into slavery unless absolutely necessary?

"I don't know, I guess." Xin Nianyan said casually.

"Guess?" Xiaozhu was even more puzzled, but Xin Nianyan had no intention of explaining, stood up, and went back to the inner room.

…

The next day, as Xin Nianyan said, Gu Shuang really came to see her.

After burying her mother with the help of Shi Wu yesterday, she knelt in front of her mother's grave for most of the night, went back and rested for most of the night, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion early this morning.

Gu Shuang mentioned Xin Nianyan's name, so the concierge took her directly to Yanyun Courtyard.

At that time, Xin Nianyan was reading under the pavilion in the yard, so he was not surprised to see her coming.

"What do you want from me?" Xin Nianyan just glanced at her and continued to look at the book in his hand, asking in a calm tone.

Gu Shuang stared at her blankly for a moment, and couldn't help but be infected by the cold and indifferent aura emanating from her body.

After a while, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "The little lady came here specifically to thank the eldest lady for her help yesterday."

Xin Nianyan said: "You're welcome, it's just a little effort. You can get up first."

Gu Shuang pursed her lips and did not move. Instead, she saw that Xin Nianyan had no intention of leaving her behind. After hesitating for a while, she took the initiative and said:

"Miss, this slave sold her body to bury her mother yesterday. Since the miss helped me bury her mother, I will be hers from now on. I am willing to follow the miss and work as a horse for the miss. I hope the miss will not dislike me.

"

Xiao Zhu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this woman would actually sell herself into slavery. For a moment, she didn't know what to say about her.

Xiaozhu looked at Xin Nianyan, wanting to see what she said.

Xin Nianyan paused while flipping through the book, then looked at Gu Shuang again.

She watched intently until the woman on the ground was heartbeating faster and she was so nervous that she slowly said: "I don't lack servants here. You'd better go back. Seeing that you are not young, you should be old enough."

, it would be better to go back and find some work, or find someone to marry, than to be a slave here."

Gu Shuang was startled and said hurriedly: "Miss, I don't want to get married. My mother is dead. It would be desolate for me to guard that cold little house by myself. Miss, please take me in."

Her mother had just passed away, so how could she get married?

But as a girl, she couldn't possibly live in that small house. Not to mention the desolation, she might even be missed by others.

Therefore, she would rather come to serve Xin Nianyan and serve her as a way of repaying her kindness.

Xin Nianyan stared at her for a long time, and after a while, she said again: "In that case, you can stay with me first, but remember, without me, you can't leave Yanyun Court even half a step...
