Jin Xiaotao pounced and pinched her grandmother's body. It took a long time before Madame Wu managed to catch her breath.

Madame Wu's tightly closed and wrinkled eyelids were filled with brown spots. She opened her eyes and turned to look at Golden Fragrance's corpse.

She couldn't help reaching out her dry hand to touch Golden Fragrance's cold, purple face.

Tears streaming down his face, he turned to Zhao Jie and said, "One thousand taels of silver and ten thousand taels of gold, even if it's a mountain of gold and silver, can it exchange for my Xiang'er's life?"

When Madame Wu said this, Jin Xiaotao was actually shocked.

In Jin Xiaotao's heart, his grandmother had always been cold and emotionless. She did not have any tender feelings for them, and was only concerned with passing down incense for the Jin Family, and was even more interested in money.

That was a thousand taels of silver, even hearing it would scare people to death. Jin Xiaotao had thought that his grandmother would be so happy that she would forget Golden Fragrance's death, or even be like him.

Who knew that the Madame Wu, a person who opened her eyes to money, would not be moved.

Madame Wu suddenly stood up and took off his outer robes, throwing it on the ground, then she took off another coat.

"He's gone mad!" Meng Guangmei quickly pushed the hollyhock out of the way. "Quickly hold onto that person, don't embarrass yourself in front of Young Master Huang!"

Meng Guangmei knew that Young Master Huang was a person that came from the capital, and since he had the intention to bring her son up, then for Meng Guangmei, this Golden Fragrance's death was a good thing.

Coincidentally, she had already started to dislike Golden Fragrance, not only had Golden Fragrance died, she also brought good fortune to He Guangkun, her death was truly worth it.

Several servants could not hold Madame Wu back. After Madame Wu took off another piece of clothing, she reached into her undergarment and took out a cloth bag from her chest. With a flick, she threw out a few pieces of silver at Zhao Jie's feet.

This was exactly the twenty-six taels of silver that the Madame Zhou was trying to get at.

Madame Zhou searched through Madame Wu's house but she didn't find anything. Who knew that Madame Wu was hiding on him, even bringing him for a bath and for sleep.

"Honorable person!" "You are a great benefactor!" Madame Wu shouted, and ran to Zhao Jie's front, where he was stopped by a servant.

Madame Wu flung her leg and kicked the cloth shoes forward. The arrogant and shameless woman, how could a person like Zhao Jie have seen her before?

Zhao Jie did not understand, under normal circumstances, these thousand taels of silver would not last for generations, so when Zhao Jie wanted a person's life, it was just a matter of saying a few words. He thought that Jin Family would be deeply grateful, but who would have thought that he would actually throw it around.

Seeing that his shoes were in front of him, Zhao Jie did not dodge or evade, allowing his shoes to hit his body.

He just frowned, and stared at Madame Wu in confusion.

Chang Meng stepped forward and attempted to slash at Madame Wu, but Zhao Jie waved his hand, "Step down."

Lady Wu spat again and shouted, "This 26 taels is my darling, then this 1000 taels is only a piece of your hair! My Xiang'er isn't even worth a single hair on your body, but she is my life! "My wife's life is already gone, what use is there for you to take her heart and liver with you!

Jin Xiaotao was afraid that the Madame Wu would offend Zhao Jie so she hurried to embrace the Madame Wu and whispered in her ear, "Grandmother! Aunt has already gone, so you must be alright. Don't let the grief rush to your brain, you must not let it go to waste! "

Madame Wu took a deep breath and looked at the scattered white silver. After a long while, she finally sat down on the ground and nodded.

Jin Xiaotao hurriedly bowed to Zhao Jie and said, "Junior is Grandmother's daughter, and has always doted on you. For a moment, I feel too much sadness, and I hope that Young Master Huang does not take offense to her."

With that, she bowed and continued, "Grandmother is very satisfied with what Young Master Huang has said."

Zhao Jie looked at Golden Fragrance's body, then looked at Madame Wu who was sitting on the floor dumbstruck, nodded, did not speak anymore, and turned to leave.

Only then did Jin Xiaotao pick up the clothes on the ground and quickly covered Madame Wu up.

Seeing that the Young Master Huang had walked far away, Meng Guangmei ordered the Mallow to look after Jin Xiaotao and the Madame Wu before hurriedly heading to the study room to meet justice.

He Zhixian had been checking on the assassins for the past few days, afraid that he would be unable to protect his black gauze hat and would be extremely busy. He did not want to talk too much with Meng Guangmei at first, but after hearing her promise from Young Master Huang, he was both surprised and happy.

He then asked out loud, "Do you know who exactly that Young Master Huang is?"

Meng Guangmei laughed, "Old master, you have kept it a secret, how would I know?"

"He is the current Crown Prince, Zhao Jie."

If Meng Guangmei did not try to hold on to the wall, she would not be able to stand.

She did not expect that the noble young master would be the crown prince, and that her son's career as a official would be basked in Jin Xiaotao's glory.

Being chosen by the Crown Prince was a great thing.

For a son of a remote county, if he didn't want to live on his father's salary for the rest of his life, he would have to take the first rank in the Humanities examinations. Before he was sixty, it wasn't easy for him to get himself a small official.

However, to be directly brought to the side of the crown prince was the Emperor's right hand man. For the entire family, this was a matter of great fortune.

This Jin Xiaotao, originally, from the bottom of her heart, Meng Guangmei looked down upon him.

At that moment, Jin Xiaotao did not feel that Jin Xiaotao was vulgar anymore, and wanted to help her become the main wife. If she were to climb onto the crown prince's lap in the future, it would be inevitable that Jin Xiaotao would appear. If she was just a concubine, she would lose a lot of face.

Just as he was pondering, he heard Justice mumbling: "This woman from Jin Family is truly more capable than another, with the support of a noble person."

"A woman with Jin Family?" Meng Guangmei was curious.

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had leaked the information, so he hurriedly tried to change the topic.

And the woman who said "Jin Family" instead made Meng Guangmei think of something. After hurriedly saying her goodbyes, she called Mu Jin into her room.

But there was still one more woman, Jin Xiaofeng, who was still in Meng Guangmei's courtyard.

Back then, when he was with Jin Xiaolou, he had used Jin Xiaofeng to cut off Golden Fragrance and Jin Xiaotao's good news. But now, they were trying to rope Jin Xiaotao into their group, then Jin Xiaofeng would not be able to let him stay.

"Go and report to Aunt Ping. Say that the sinner who burned Rong has already been killed. I have already sent off the Wuli River, so she can be at ease." Meng Guangmei fiddled with the pearl string in her hand, and walked towards Mu Jin, "Also bring these words to Jin Xiaotao's room, remember to call her Young Madame."

"Yes." Mu Jin responded, then raised her head and asked, "Then … Does Miss Little Feng really want to pull away her Wuli River? "

"Of course it's true!" Meng Guangmei raised her eyebrows, "Immediately pull her away, and let her scream as loud as possible. It would be best if everyone in the courtyard heard her."

Jin Xiaolou finished her work on Mountain Note, just as she walked to the backyard, she saw that the candle in her own room was actually lit.

Walking over to push open the door, the cradle in the room shook, the Lin'er was peacefully sleeping, Gao Lang sat on the side of the bed gently holding the cradle, upon hearing the door open, he raised his head and smiled at Jin Xiaolou.

Just yesterday, when he was being pestered by Gao Lang on the street, he did not expect that he would appear in his room again tonight.

Jin Xiaolou felt that she had made it very clear, hence she turned gloomy. She stood by the door and asked: "Please leave, if not I will report to the authorities that you trespassed into the house."

Gao Lang stood up, his face was warm from the flames, his voice was very soft: "You are my wife, this is absolutely true. I'm returning to my own home, why is it that the authorities want to capture me?"

"Rascal!" Jin Xiaolou could not help but bite her lips, "We did not get married. Back then, I was tied up by someone from the Jin Family and sold it to you. I am not a husband and wife, I will return that mu of land and ten taels of silver to you."

"Return it to me?" Gao Lang laughed, took two steps forward, and pushed Jin Xiaolou against the wooden door.

"What are you doing!" Jin Xiaolou wanted to struggle free, but Gao Lang's arm was like an iron hoop, preventing her from moving.

It was not the first time that Jin Xiaolou was so close to him, but this time was completely different.

Jin Xiaolou's head was slanted into the man's neck. She held her breath and kept Gao Lang's aura out.

However, the man's strong and vigorous body still made her blush uncontrollably.

Gao Lang lowered his head, his hot air flowing onto Jin Xiaolou's ice-cold forehead: "I only want you, you're mine anyway, what's the point of giving it back?"

"You!" Jin Xiaolou wanted to raise his head to argue, but just as she raised it, her forehead touched Gao Lang's soft lips. She immediately buried his head in fear, "I'm not yours, Lin'er is also not yours, we have nothing to do with you!"

These were originally angry words, but because Jin Xiaolou lowered her head and her face was red, she actually spoke like a spoiled child.

Gao Lang frowned, and laughed even more.

When he was not laughing, he was like an iceberg that had been formed over ten thousand years, or like a star in the sky. When he was not laughing, he was like an iceberg that had been condensed over ten thousand years, or like a star in the sky.

Gao Lang bent the hand that was holding onto the wooden door and hugged Jin Xiaolou who was in front of him, "If you had blamed me for what happened one year ago, I would have accepted all of it. But from today onwards, as long as I am here, you won't suffer any more grievances. "

Gao Lang stood up, stretched out a hand, and gently lifted Jin Xiaolou's face. He let his gaze meet hers, and said word by word, "Jin Xiaolou, I will only want you as my woman in this life."

Through Gao Lang's pair of lake-like eyes, Jin Xiaolou saw the reflection of her small face in her eyes.

She clenched her teeth, broke free from Gao Lang, and rushed out through that gap.

When they were two meters away from Gao Lang, two streams of tears suddenly flowed down his face.

It was only when the tears rolled down her cheeks that she realized she had hastily wiped them away.

For a moment, he did not know why he was crying, did he feel wronged? Moved? or perhaps it was regret, regret that he was not the Jin Xiaolou he spoke of.

"Since you don't want to leave, then I'll leave. As long as you are here, I will not return the Mountain Note for a day. " After Jin Xiaolou finished, she turned and left.

Just as he walked two steps, Gao Lang's voice sounded. "Alright, I'll go."

Jin Xiaolou stopped walking, but didn't hear any movement for a long time. When she turned around, there was already no one behind him.

She stood there in the courtyard, watching the Jade Orchids fall to the ground from the wind. It wasn't until Kuang Ruyue walked over that she regained her senses.

"The shopkeeper found it again." Kuang Ruyue did not notice Jin Xiaolou's expression, so she took out the handkerchief and opened it. There was still a thin needle inside.

"I saw Ru Yi sneaking into the kitchen when I was wrapping the chicken with soy flour. She thought I wasn't paying attention to her, so she went around the cabinet a couple of times and quickly nudged the pizza with her hand. After she left, I took the pizza back to the house and crushed it before I took the needle out of the pizza. "
