Fu Jiang said: "The young master is busy with Miss Nanyao and Li Yu today to retrieve the dowry, so he is not in the mansion." He has something to say. "
It is not convenient to meet at the Duke's Mansion.
It is not convenient to meet somewhere else. If someone is interested, they will probably make a fuss.
“Yes, Miss.”
Yan Funing added: "Tell him to work slowly and I will wait until the restaurant closes."
Fu Jiang said he was leaving.
Back at Fu Mansion, the master has not returned.
He then went to the Dong family, and then he learned that his son had asked the Jingzhao Mansion to intervene in the divorce matter, and the Dong family had been reported to the government office.
When he arrived at the government office, Mr. Fu Yin was mediating: "The Dong family and the Fu family are all well-known families in the capital. We can make money in harmony, get married happily, and part ways in harmony. This is very good."< br>
Mrs. Dong snorted: "We are all going to make peace, why are we so peaceful?"
Fu Ciyi's cold eyes glanced past Mrs. Dong and towards Dong Kuang: "As the emperor said, all the dowries will be taken back. Basically, the Dong family will pay a compensation of 10,000 taels. Today, Fu came to Jingzhao Mansion to ask Mr. Fu to be a witness."
After that, he took out a letter of resignation signed by Fu Nanyao. out.
"Dong Kuang, please sign."
The tone was extremely cold.
How dare Dong Kuang violate the holy will? He took the He Li book, looked at it carefully, and signed with his pen.
“A Kuang.” Mrs. Dong called.
Dong Kuang shook his head.
The matter of He Li passed through Jingzhao Mansion. If he offended Fu Ciyi, this person would be determined to expose the matter between him and Cai Muchi immediately.
If the emperor hadn't specifically mentioned it, the matter between him and Cai Muchi would be handled through consultation by the Dong family and the Cai family, which would be regarded as protecting the face of the imperial official.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the city will be full of trouble at this moment.
He doesn’t care, it’s best to marry Mu Shi.
But a woman’s reputation is important, so he naturally has to protect her.
Fu Ciyi took back the letter from He Li, raised his eyelids and looked at it: "I would like to ask Mr. Fu Yin to help you stamp the seal of Jingzhao Mansion."
"Yes, I will serve as a witness. , since then the seal has been finalized.”
After saying that, Lord Fu Yin took out the official seal.
Taking this opportunity, Fu Jiang walked up to Fu Ciyi and whispered: "Young madam wants to see the young master."
Fu Ciyi thought that he had to go to Dong's house and had no time to walk away.
Besides, he didn’t want to see her.
Then he said to Fu Jiang: "No."
Fu Jiang shut his mouth tightly.
Not long after, the group went to Dong’s house.
Fu Ciyi ordered a search for the dowry list. The Fu family searched hard, and finally Liu Lu found half of it in the room where Fu Nanyao lived.
"Master, there is only half a card left."
"It doesn't matter."
Fu Ciyi checked the remaining half of the list with his newly prepared list, and in front of the Dong family, ordered people to move out Fu Nanyao's dowry one by one and count it.
Although the dowry is not much, it is arranged in this way, and the Dong family deliberately hides valuables.
In this way, the count was not completed until sunset.
Seeing the dowry carried out of the Dong family, Mrs. Dong felt heartbroken.
After hearing Fu Ciyi say to Dong Kuang: "Are you planning to pay 10,000 taels by banknote or cash?"
She almost fainted.
Dong Kuang said: "Part of it is banknotes, part of it is cash."
He doesn't have that much money.
Yesterday I asked my family to collect some on the spur of the moment, and my father scolded me.
Not long after, the 10,000 taels were counted, and the Fu family left with Fu Nanyao's clothes, dowry and compensation.
On the way back to the house, when there was no one else in their car, Fu Jiang said softly: "Master, the young lady is waiting for you at Chengwen Building. She said she would wait until the restaurant closes."
"I won't go." Fu Jiang Ciyi's voice was light.
“You are not allowed to call her young lady in the future.”
Fu Jiang was stunned: “Yes, young master.”
——
It’s hot.
Even if there is wind at night, the wind is blowing hot.
Although people generally have a poor appetite in summer, Chengwenlou’s cold dishes and iced desserts are very popular, so business is pretty good.
Yan Funing went back and forth between the counter and the door of the restaurant dozens of times, but she didn't see him coming.
Liu Song saw this and asked in a low voice: "My daughter is waiting for someone?"
Yan Funing nodded.
"I just heard from the guests that Nan Yao and the young master of the Dong family reconciled today, and many people saw that the dowry was shipped back to the Fu Mansion. How are Nan Yao's legs and feet doing now?"
As soon as Liu Song said this, he heard a guest in the hall shout: "Have you heard of a wonderful thing?"
"What wonderful thing is it?" Someone immediately answered and asked.
"The legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Cai had an affair with the legitimate son of Dong Shangshu." The man covered his lips and whispered, "It is said that the two were having an affair in bed and were caught in the act."
To put it lightly, But all the guests present wanted to hear the gossip, and it was so quiet that almost everyone heard it.
Immediately someone said: "Don't talk nonsense, isn't Prime Minister Cai's daughter betrothed to a new top scholar?"
Some people also said: "Miss Cai is such an elegant person. You can do that kind of thing.”
Some people even advised: “Yes, if you talk nonsense like that, be careful not to be beheaded.”
"I'm not making this up. Many people are already spreading the word." The man's voice slowly became louder, "The emperor has withdrawn his marriage decree. This is the first time in hundreds of years. Think about it. If this kind of thing didn't happen, how could the marriage decree be withdrawn immediately?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present nodded one after another.
"It makes some sense."
"I was just thinking about how Miss Fu and Mr. Dong reconciled, and I think it was for this reason."
In this way, The discussion became more and more lively.
Everyone has a gossip heart, and Liu Song also has it.
He asked Yan Funing quietly: "Daughter, do you really mean what the guest said?"
Yan Funing nodded slightly.
Liu Song said happily: "Then my daughter and Master Fu are going to make peace again?"
"Uncle..."
Yan Funing was suddenly speechless.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Liu Song quickly called He, and the couple took her to the backyard.
Mr. He waved the cattail leaf fan to fan Yan Funing: "If my daughter is unhappy, tell your uncle and aunt."
"I was given a marriage by the Queen Mother to Prince Chi. From now on, I will be with you. Mr. Fu really has nothing to do with him anymore. My uncle and aunt will be careful in their words and deeds when they see Mr. Fu in the future."
"Is this a big deal?" Liu Song was puzzled, "Daughter, you are the Duke of the country. The daughter of the government!”
Yan Funing smiled helplessly and said: "Yes, only now do I know that a daughter from a noble family cannot make the decision on her own marriage."
Her parents can't help her make the decision, and she can't make the decision herself.
This era is different from modern times after all.
Liu Song guessed: "The person my daughter is waiting for today is Mr. Fu."
"Well, I want to have a chat with him, but he seems not to want to see me."
Mrs. He said softly: "Prince Chi is kind and should be a good husband."
"That being said, it depends on whether our daughter likes it or not." Liu Song suddenly raised his voice.
Yan Funing smiled.
On the one hand, the Queen Mother granted her a marriage, and on the other hand, she tried to cover up the Yan family's guilt. She felt so helpless that she had no one to talk to.
After chatting for a while, the three of them returned to the front yard of the restaurant.
Until closing time, no one from the Fu family came, let alone Fu Ciyi.
Liu Song deliberately delayed the closing time for half an hour, moved Zhang Xiaozhuo to sit at the door of the restaurant in person, and looked at the few pedestrians on the road.
In the hope of helping my daughter find Fu Ciyi. (End of this chapter)
