The Jiang family, in particular, seemed surprised and curious about Jiang Zui taking out so much money all at once.

Liu Yu even questioned Jiang Zui, "Jiang Zui, where did you get so much money?"

Jiang Zui ignored the other party, so Liu Yu cursed loudly, "Jiang Zui, all your money belongs to the Jiang family. If that's not enough, you should also spend money to buy us a house."

"You heartless wretch! The Jiang family provides you with food and drink, and yet you forget your family after marrying a husband. You know how to buy a house for your husband's family, but you don't know how to help your own family?"

Jiang Zui, if you have any conscience and know how to be filial, then obediently arrange a nice house for us.

Otherwise, believe it or not, your reputation will be ruined on your very first day in Sin Slave Town.

Liu Yu's words implied that Jiang Zui was a heartless, ungrateful, and disrespectful person who had no regard for his elders.

Those present had heard Jiang Zui's threats countless times and were already immune to them.

The crowd was simply curious and wanted to know where Jiang Zui got the shadow from.

Qi Chen, unable to contain his anger, was the first to stand up and defend Jiang Zui, saying, "What do you care where we got the money from? Anyway, it wasn't from your Jiang family. Didn't your Jiang family get wiped out long ago?"

Also, don't try to morally blackmail my husband. People aren't stupid; your little tricks are beneath you.

Jiang Zui told him the term "moral kidnapping" on the way.

Ever since Jiang Zui severed ties with the Jiang family, Liu Yu has frequently come to cause trouble, always acting like an elder and verbally abusing Jiang Zui for being unfilial.

In this era where filial piety is paramount, Liu Yu's actions are tantamount to morally blackmailing Jiang Zui.

"You... Qi Chen, you... Jiang Zui, how can your husband speak like that? As his husband, don't you know how to discipline him?" Liu Yu gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes blazing with fury, looking utterly resentful.

"Discipline? My husband did the right thing, why should I discipline him? Isn't what he said true?" Jiang Zui asked calmly, not answering.

"Madam Jiang, if you have the leisure to do so, you should pay more attention to the mess in your own family instead of clinging to others all day long."

As for money, when has your Jiang family ever given any?

After saying that, Jiang Zui pulled Qi Chen and turned to leave, leaving Liu Yu alone in anger.

All of the original owner's expenses in the Jiang family were earned by herself, little by little, and had nothing to do with the Jiang family.

Liu Yu knew he had never given the original owner any money, and feeling guilty, he didn't call out to Jiang Zui.

Zhao Xingyuan, standing nearby, watched Jiang Zui without blinking as he generously took out silver to buy a house, and even bought one for the Qi family as well.

During the conversation between Qi Chen and Liu Yu, Liu Yu defended Qi Chen and then left gracefully, but a strange sense of loneliness inexplicably arose in her heart.

Seeing this, Zhao Xingyuan's father, Zhao Yongnian's concubine Fu Yu, pinched Zhao Xingyuan's arm hard and muttered a complaint:

"You've made things difficult between you and Jiang Zui. Look at Qi Chen now. He's been well protected by Jiang Zui all the way here. When he arrived in Lingnan, he was able to stay in a nice house. Even the Qi family benefited from it."

If you hadn't rejected Jiang Zui back then, the Zhao family would be living in a big house now.

Let's talk about Jiang Zhou. What's so good about him?

But you're stubborn and still like him.

He used to be the eldest son of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion. I don't object to you being with him.

But now, he's just a commoner, with no skills and no money. What do you like about him?

You like him because he's good-looking? But there are plenty of people who are better looking than him.

You like him because he's good at martial arts? What good is martial arts here? He still has to mine.

Look at his parents and his shameless brother, they've made things difficult for you time and time again. Do you think you can live comfortably after marrying into a family like Jiang Zhou's?

Fu Yu frowned, his tone was somewhat cold, but his words carried concern for Zhao Xingyuan.

Although he was a concubine, Zhao Yongnian doted on him the most. Previously, because of Jiang Zhou's background, he did not object to the marriage and was even quite happy about it.

But now, the Jiang family is finished.

Jiang Zhou's arrogant and conceited nature is simply not suitable for Yuan Yuan.

On the contrary... Jiang Zui, who had previously doted on Yuan Yuan, suddenly changed and was no longer as weak and incompetent as before.

On the road to exile, he was brave and resourceful, able to come up with so much silver at once, and even able to support his husband's family.

Based on this last point alone, Fu Yu's heart tipped in favor of Jiang Zui.

Fu Yu's words left Zhao Xingyuan with mixed feelings.

To be honest, one of the reasons he agreed to be with Jiang Zhou was to provoke Jiang Zui and make her jealous.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Zui made no comment after learning that she was with Jiang Zhou.

In addition, Jiang Zhou was devoted to him, so he went along with it.

But he simply couldn't hold on any longer.

Jiang Li harbored resentment towards himself because of the bandit incident and frequently caused trouble.

Liu Yu loves her son and helps Jiang Li deal with her.

The messy affairs of the Jiang family, and the contrast between Qi Chen and Jiang Zui's affection, made him completely unwilling to continue being with Jiang Zhou.

But he was unwilling to give up.

I don't want others to think I made the wrong choice.

Zhao Xingyuan frowned, pursed her lips, and said irritably, "Father, please stop talking."

"Don't tell? Can I not tell? Look at yourself now? Our family is not what it used to be. You don't even have a separate room now, and neither does Jiang Zhou."

If you get married but don't even have a wedding house, and you have nothing to your name, and are poor and destitute.

"Think about your future, is this what you've envisioned?" Fu Yu raised his hand, pressed his index finger against Zhao Xingyuan's forehead, and earnestly advised:

"Yuanyuan, I am your father. I want you to be happy and for your life to be smooth and peaceful."

I know about what happened between you and Jiang Zui, Yuan Yuan. I think Jiang Zui hasn't given up on you yet. Why don't you have a good talk with him again?

Men, they always feel restless when they can't have what they want.

You and he have been together for over ten years, how can you forget him in just a few months?

It's normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines; if you can't be his principal wife, you can be his concubine.

"Father, you know I don't want to be a concubine." Zhao Xingyuan's words did not dispel her desire to rekindle her relationship with Jiang Zui, but only indicated that she did not want to be a concubine.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yu instantly understood Zhao Xingyuan's meaning and excitedly explained, "Yuanyuan, your father is also a concubine. Look, in the entire Zhao family, I'm still the one in charge. Even your father's legal wife doesn't dare to say anything."

Besides, even if someone is a concubine, can they still be promoted to the position of principal wife?

Zhao Xingyuan understood the unspoken meaning behind Fu Yu's last sentence.

Zhao Xingyuan remained silent, pondering the feasibility of the matter.

When Fu Yu saw Zhao Xingyuan hesitate, he knew in his heart that the matter could be accomplished.

He didn't believe Jiang Zui had no feelings for Yuan Yuan.

As long as Yuan Yuan says a few kind words, Jiang Zui will abandon Qi Chen and come running over eagerly.

Actually, the main reason Fu Yu persuaded Zhao Xingyuan to be with Jiang Zui was that he wanted Jiang Zui to help Zhao Xingyuan's brother, Zhao Mingrui.

Jiang Zui was able to come up with so much money all at once, so he must have a lot more on hand.
