But after opening the box, the first thing that caught my eye was a pair of exquisitely crafted gold-inlaid jade bracelets. Looking at the intricate patterns and the color of the jade, I knew that this pair of bracelets must be worth a lot of money.

Under the bracelet were several silver bills with a total value of eight hundred taels, as well as a land deed for two hundred acres of land outside the city, and a house deed to a shop in the new capital.

The Xue family is not a wealthy family. Although these things are not many and may not be enough in front of some powerful families, they are already very valuable gifts for the Xue family.

Su Liuyue had lived in the Xue family for such a long time, so she knew about the family's financial situation. Previously, the whole family mainly relied on the salaries of Xue Chengyi and Xue Wenbai to survive. Because their ancestors had been rich, they still had some land deeds left, but not much. Otherwise, they would not have been unable to enter the inner city for so many years, and were often ridiculed by the group of villains in the Su family because of this.

These fields and house deeds were obviously taken out by the Yun family from those things passed down from the ancestors of the Xue family.

And this pair of bracelets was probably given to her by Yun from her own dowry.

Su Liuyue said quickly: "Aunt, you don't have to give me these things. My third cousin hasn't married yet, and my cousin Wan'er hasn't been betrothed yet. You will need money a lot in the future..."

Yun pushed the wooden box into Su Liuyue's arms without allowing it to be refused, and said angrily: "Silly child, this is the makeup that your uncle and aunt specially gave you, how can you refuse it? Don't worry, your uncle and I have already prepared the ones for Wenjin and Wan'er, don't worry that I will let them down..."

Xue Lingwan, who was standing by, immediately poked her head over and said with a smile, "Mother, it's okay to give my share to my cousin. I can earn it back on my own anyway!"

Yun immediately glared at her unhappily, pushed her head away, and said with a smile: "Liu Yue, you don't want to accept it, but you think these things of your uncle and aunt are too shabby?"

"how come!"

Su Liuyue said hurriedly. Seeing Yun's determined face, she could only smile and bring the box over. "Then Liuyue would like to thank my uncle and aunt."

"That's right."

Yun smiled with satisfaction and said in a gentle voice: "Among these silvers, two hundred taels were sent by your second uncle a few days ago. Hengzhou, where he works, is too far from Xinjing. In addition, Hengzhou was previously affected by the war. Your second uncle has been busy with post-disaster reconstruction for most of the past six months and will not be able to come back to attend your wedding, but your second cousin and younger cousin should be able to come.

In addition to the two hundred taels, he also sent someone to make a dressing table, which I sent to the Su family."

Although Su Liuyue had not met her second uncle's family since she came into this world, she knew from her memory that her second uncle was a gentle person with a natural smile on his face.

She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and said, "Second uncle and the others are also thoughtful."

"They miss you very much, too."

Yun smiled and said, "Your second uncle must be very sorry that I can't attend your wedding in person this time.

Tomorrow morning, your uncle and I will personally take you back to the Su family. You should rest early tonight."

After saying that, he stood up and gave Xue Lingwan a warning look, "Don't disturb your cousin's sleep tonight."

Xue Lingwan curled her lips and said, "I know, mother, sometimes I can't figure out whether my cousin is your biological daughter or me, but who can make me magnanimous!"

"Poor mouth."

Yun was so angry that she almost laughed. She glared at Xue Lingwan again before walking out.

The next day, Su Liuyue got on the carriage back to the Su family early in the morning.

In the past few days, the Su family actually sent people to the Xue family several times, wanting to take her back. Their attitude was very different from that of Nanny Lu who had been by Guo's side before and had arrogantly asked her to go back. They were almost kneeling on the ground begging her to go back.

Guo and Su Weili also came twice in person, but were stopped by Yun and Xue Chengyi each time. They didn't even see a hair of Su Liuyue.

Su Liuyue was also happy to have had some peace and quiet for these few days.

Along the way, Xue Chengyi and Yun seemed to be afraid that she would be bullied after returning to the Su family, and they kept telling her that if Guo and Su Weili did anything to her, she should send someone to tell them immediately, and they would definitely rush over to support her.

Su Liuyue said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, let's not talk about whether my parents dare to bully me now. Even if they are really so stupid, I will not let them bully me casually."

She didn't meet them before, not because she was afraid of them, but simply because she thought it was troublesome. Besides, there were still some unresolved issues between her and them.

Facts have proved that although Guo and Su Weili are stupid, they still have brains.

Su Liuyue had just arrived at the Su family and hadn't even gotten off the carriage when Guo's extremely attentive voice rang out outside, "Liuyue, you're finally back! You're getting married in a few days. Your father has been nagging about you these days, constantly worrying about you, and he didn't even have time to have a good meal with you before you get married!"

The tone of his voice was even more servile than when she had previously received General Wu, and it was so greasy that it seemed to be dripping with oil.

Su Liuyue's mouth twitched slightly, and she suppressed her nausea and got off the carriage.

Guo immediately walked forward, held her hand affectionately, looked her up and down, and said with an extremely loving look: "Mother, I specially stewed bird's nest for you today, go back and try it to see if you like it.

Your father originally wanted to take a leave and wait for you to come back home, but unfortunately the Ministry of Revenue has a lot of things to do during this period and he really can't spare the time.

Liuxue has also been talking to me, saying that she misses you as her sister."

As he spoke, he winked at Su Liuxue who was standing beside him.

Su Liuxue just had a gloomy face until Madam Lu, who was standing beside her, pushed her anxiously and pushed her up. Then she pulled the corners of her mouth and said stiffly, "Sister, you're back."

Guo suddenly looked disappointed.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Su Liuyue's eyes.

Su Liuxue is better than her mother in one respect. At least she is honest and won't do such disgusting things as saying one thing and thinking another.

Yun and Xue Chengyi were also disgusted by Guo's excessive enthusiasm, but judging from the situation, the Su family would not do anything weird before Liu Yue's wedding, so they left with peace of mind.

Guo walked into the Su Mansion affectionately holding Su Liuyue's hand, saying as they walked: "Your dowry, Dad and Mom have prepared it all these days. A few days ago, we sent someone to the Xue family to deliver a complete dowry list. Did your aunt show it to you? For your marriage this time, Dad and Mom took out all the good things in the bottom of the box at home!"

However, although Guo spoke enthusiastically, Su Liuyue remained cold and did not even bother to say a word to her.

It is not easy for one person to sing a one-man show. Even if Guo was thick-skinned, he couldn't continue singing after singing alone for a long time.

Su Liuxue had already felt embarrassed, so she ran away halfway through the walk, claiming she was not feeling well.

Guo gritted her teeth secretly and said, "Liu Yue, you seem to be in a bad mood today, but what happened?"

At this time, they had already walked into Su Liuyue's yard at the Su family.

Su Liuyue suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Guo, and said with a half-smile, "Come to think of it, mother, didn't you complain before that General Wu often came to our house to extort money? Why haven't I heard you complain about this recently?"

Guo's face suddenly froze.

This damn girl, why did she suddenly bring up General Wu? Was she trying to annoy me?!
She managed to maintain a smile on her face with great difficulty, and said, "Why did you suddenly bring this up? General Wu did come to our house often to take advantage of us, but your father has already found a way to send him away..."

"How did you get rid of him?"

Guo was even more confused about what this damn girl was thinking. "Your father said he asked a friend for help. How would I know about this kind of man's business?"

Su Liuyue looked at her carefully for a while, and after confirming that she was not lying, he smiled faintly and said, "I mentioned General Wu for no other purpose, but I felt a little emotional. Thinking back to the past, you, mother, did a lot of bad things to me, and this matter of General Wu is just a small matter."

Guo's face became more and more stiff. After a while, she pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? At the beginning... we wanted to match you with General Wu. It was true that Dad and Mom misjudged you, but our original intention was also for your own good!
You are the daughter of my father and mother, how could my father and mother do anything bad to you..."

"Is it?"

Su Liuyue suddenly put away the smile on her face and said in a calm voice: "Then mother, can you explain to me why you, who were thinking only of my own good, deliberately hanged me to death?" (End of this chapter)
