After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Chapter 407 Old Couple and Old Wife

He felt the temperature of the teacup, then pushed the cup, which was eight-tenths full, in front of Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao glanced at it and said nothing.

"Have some tea and talk."

Shen Jinyao smiled faintly. She didn't expect Xiang Hongxuan to be so thoughtful.

After all, the food I just ate was a bit dry at the end.

Xiang Hongxuan watched Shen Jinyao drink her tea before slowly saying, "Actually, this matter is related to you."

Shen Jinyao: "Is it related to me?"

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Shen Jinyao's surprised expression and nodded, "Do you still remember the business you did with the prince?"

It turned out to be that mine.

Shen Jinyao's face looked a little unhappy. After all, the prince had said at that time that he would not tell anyone else.

Xiang Hongxuan seemed to see what Shen Jinyao was thinking.

He explained, "This is just my guess. The prince didn't tell me where the minerals came from."

"When the ore is processed, most of it is turned into weapons, and the rest is used for business."

"This income is related to ore."

I don’t know if it was Xiang Hongxuan’s illusion. If he didn’t explain it clearly, something bad would happen.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the murderous aura around Shen Jinyao disappeared.

"As for what you said, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that Xiang Hongxuan changed the subject, Shen Jinyao did not insist.

The secret of the space must not be discovered by anyone, so she must be more careful in the future.

After she has returned most of the things belonging to the Shen family, her space will only be used for purchasing things from various places in the future.

While the two were talking, voices were heard outside.

Shen Jinyao thought of something and said, "Move in."

Xiang Hongxuan looked over in confusion.

He was stunned at first, then felt helpless.

"Exchange it with that little couch."

"Yes, ma'am."

It turned out that Shen Jinyao noticed in the morning that the small couch in the outer room was a little short, so she asked someone to make a bigger one.

The servants in the mansion work quite efficiently.

I hired a carpenter and it was done in less than a day.

The small couch that was taken off was placed in the warehouse.

Shen Jinyao glanced at Xiang Hongxuan. What was that expression?

Shouldn't we thank her?

She said, "I saw that you might not be sleeping comfortably, so I changed the bed to a longer one for you."

Xiang Hongxuan smiled bitterly, "Thank you, ma'am."

Shen Jinyao smiled faintly, "You're welcome."

Then she remembered something and continued, "I heard that your mother's dowry is still in the old house. What are you going to do with it?"

Xiang Hongxuan nodded and said, "I'll take care of it. You've been busy all day, so take a break."

Shen Jinyao didn't say anything.

In short, Xiang Hongxuan agreed with her on how to treat the people in the old house, and he calmly accepted the asset issue between them, so she had nothing to worry about.

After all, only people with the same ideas can cooperate.

Xiang Hongxuan walked out of the room and called the two brothers Xiang Ming and Quanfu.

"Let's go to the old house."

……

When Xiang Hongxuan came out of the old house, several people pulled two horse-drawn carts full of things.

Standing at the door of the old house, you can still hear the curses coming from inside.

"You are such a heartless person! Don't you even notice who raised you?"

"Now you've grown so powerful that you don't even look at me as your father! You even dared to come back and ask for the family property!"

"It's really outrageous."

Next to him was the sound of a woman crying softly.

Then the woman suppressed her sobs and said aggrievedly, "Master, forget it, let's just treat it as if we've raised an ungrateful person."

"Humph, this isn't an ungrateful person, this is clearly a robber."

Other women complained, "It's all sister-in-law's fault. If she hadn't wanted to see the new bride, how could she have offended that yaksha?"

"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. We went there together."

"Humph, you stole the chicken but failed to eat the rice. I'm talking about you."

"Originally, there was still that woman's dowry, but now it's all gone."

"I've never seen him want these dowries before. Why is he so tough today?"

Someone murmured.

"It's all because of that vicious bride!"

"It's already embarrassing enough for our Xiang family to break off an engagement and remarry."

"Just wait. When the time comes, I'll make him cry and beg our family."

Other persuasive voices were heard from the side, "Keep your voices down, don't come back later, the emperor and the prince both value him very much now..."

No further words were spoken, and the yard fell silent.

Then there was the voice of the weeping woman again.

"Hey, Master, let's listen to our second brother. Let's be patient and wait for Ping'er..."

The voices at the back gradually became smaller. Everyone close to her knew who Ping'er was.

After Ping'er said this, the people in the yard cursed even louder.

……

Xiang Yang clenched his fists upon hearing this.

Quanfu glared at the doorman.

Only Quan Gui was sorting out the list over and over again at the door.

"General, everything is ready."

This list was sorted out by Madam Zhao many times.

Those that have been crossed out were blatantly given away or pawned by the Xiang family for various reasons.

Of course, most of the time it is given as a gift to others.

If a general's mansion had to rely on the dowry of his deceased wife to make a living, the wealthy families in Shangjing City would surely laugh at it.

These are what the Xiang family did when Xiang Hongxuan was not at home.

And they all found a clear path.

Therefore, Madam Zhao carefully recorded everything.

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at Quan Gui and thought that this man seemed to be very concerned about money matters.

He thought of what Shen Jinyao said today, and also of the business genius of the Xiang family, Shen Zhiye.

"The day after tomorrow, you will go to the Shen family with me."

The day after tomorrow? That means returning to the parents’ home.

Quan Gui didn't expect the general to take him with him, so he naturally had no objection.

"The fifth son of the Shen family is a business genius. He has already started his own business at a young age. I remember that you are also quite interested in this area."

Quan Gui was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up as he thought of something.

Did the General mean what he thought he meant?

but……

"General, do you want me to learn how to do business?"

Xiang Hongxuan nodded.

"But, the house is still a mess..."

Xiang Hongxuan said, "If you believe in Madam's ability, there will be no chaos tomorrow."

Xiang Yang, who was standing by, looked around and whispered, "General, is there something wrong at home?"

They wanted to get back the old lady's dowry and also wanted Quan Gui to learn how to do business.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at Xiang Yang with a gloomy face, then smiled: "You are right, your salary will be reduced by half in the future."

"what?"

Xiang Yang looked at General Xiang who was riding in front of him and touched his head.

Quan Gui smiled naively.

Instead, Quanfu smiled and said, "Brother Xiang Yang, why don't you leave quickly? The general will take his anger out on you again."

"what?"

Xiang Yang thought about why the general came to the Xiang family, and then connected it to what happened in the Xiang family today.

Perhaps, perhaps, the general did this because of his wife.

It turned out to be the case.

In the evening, Shen Jinyao and Xiang Hongxuan didn't say much.

Xiang Hongxuan stayed in the study until late at night.

Before going to bed, Shen Jinyao always felt as if she had forgotten to ask Xiang Hongxuan something, but she couldn't remember what it was.

When Xiang Hongxuan returned to the room, Shen Jinyao had already fallen asleep.

Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help but find it funny. The way they got along was a bit like an old couple.
