Chapter 609
After thinking about this, He Yueting immediately smiled hypocritically and said, "Miss, you don't have to take the initiative to apologize! The general has always acted impartially, and I believe he will not cover anyone up."

Ling Xiao didn't bother to break up with her, and said with a dull smile: "Okay then! Stepmother! I'll keep the part of the treasure that belongs to you in the warehouse, and you can count it yourself later."

After finishing speaking, Ling Xiao commanded his confidants to remove all the rich dowry left by his aunt. In less than two hours, more than half of the general's warehouse was emptied.

Although the remaining wealth, silk and jade wares are quite impressive, they are definitely inferior to the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry piled up before!

He Yueting was reluctant to leave, so she could only stay at the door of the warehouse like a masochist, watching Ling Xiao take away all those priceless antiques, paintings and rare treasures!
In the end, the maid Ju Ling made a list of the dowry left by Mrs. Xian. The list was fifty pages thick.
He Yueting stared at the dowry list in the hand of the maid Ju Ling, and almost popped her eyes out!
That's money!A thick wad of money!

She is extremely jealous. Although she has no worries about food and clothing after marrying into the general's mansion, she also has her own ambitions. If she can take all the property left by the late wife, then the pair of children she gave birth to will be fine. Ensure a bright future in the future!

However... her ambition and her plan were severely shattered by Ling Xiao at this moment!
He Yueting was so angry that her chest ached, she gave the servant girl who was serving her a sharp look, and the servant girl had a tacit understanding with her, and immediately rushed to the study of the general's mansion to report the matter to General Mu.

General Mu happened to be resting today, he didn't need to go to court, and he didn't need to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to train soldiers. He stayed in his study and slowly flipped through a few books on the art of war.

The maid told the truth to General Mu, and General Mu rushed to the door of the warehouse in the mansion after hearing the news.

When He Yueting saw her husband coming, she was possessed by a playful spirit for a moment, and she wiped her tears eagerly: "Miss! You have to give us a way out!"

"You emptied all the valuable things, how will I live with Biore and the others?"

Ling Xiao also saw General Mu sharp-eyed, and smiled unhurriedly: "Ju Ling, help Madam check out the remaining money, is it enough for Madam and the others to live on?"

Ju Ling had been prepared for a long time, and suddenly raised her voice, and replied crisply: "Reporting to Miss! There are still 40 treasure chests left in the warehouse, including gold, silver, jewelry and silk antiques. The estimated value is about [-] taels of silver. According to our The standard of living in the Great Song Kingdom should be enough for Madam and Miss Birou to live for the rest of their lives!"

Ling Xiao smiled lightly: "Did you hear that? Ma'am, you have left so much money in the treasury. How could you frame me and say that I blocked your way of life?"

Buttoning this big hat immediately excited He Yueting!

The original value of 40 taels of money is also a huge wealth for He Yueting, but people will become greedy, and when they see more money benefits, they will lose themselves.

He Yueting questioned indignantly: "You're just talking nicely! You're just trying to save face! Just now you moved so many treasure chests away, and you didn't take me as the mistress at all!"

"You disrespect your elders and act recklessly!"

Ling Xiao immediately confronted her: "The dowry was left by my mother during her lifetime, and it's not your turn to enjoy it in terms of seniority!"

He Yueting was about to beat her up, but she saw General Mu striding over, yelling in a low voice, "Ma'am! Shut up!"

He Yueting was a little apprehensive, seeing General Mu's stern and ruthless appearance, she recalled the scene of being taught by General Mu in the past.

Everything in the General's Mansion is good, but there is a former wife who occupies an important position in General Mu's heart!This is also the reason why He Yueting has always been brooding.

General Mu glanced around majestically, and said with a sneer, "Ling Xiao just took away her dowry, what's wrong with her?"

Ling Xiao took advantage of the situation and said with a smile: "Father! The lady said that she will keep the dowry for me, and she will take care of it for me when I get married! But I reckon that the dowry will at least be discounted in her hands." Lose half of it?"

He Yueting scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! I'm not the kind of person who is greedy for money and forgets righteousness!"

Ling Xiao had been prepared for a long time, and signaled the maid, Ju Ling, to bring over the dowry list. She flipped through it casually, and smiled at General Mu: "Father! I just checked it! There is one piece missing in the dowry my mother left me." For the white jade bottle from the previous dynasty, a pair of tourmaline Ruyi, several famous paintings by Wu Suanzi... According to Ju Ling's statistics, my mother's dowry has lost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

Ling Xiao smiled pointedly: "Father! If I don't take back these dowries, I'm afraid that when I get married, it will not only be a loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

"I call it timely stop loss!"

General Mu is also a smart person, he recalled it as soon as he heard it, and sneered at He Yueting: "Wu Shuanzi's famous painting? Did you take it away?"

He Yueting's plan was exposed, so she could only deny it, and smiled hypocritically: "Husband! How do I know where Wu Shuanzi's famous paintings are? I rarely deal with these treasures in the warehouse."

In fact, those famous paintings of Wu Shuanzi have long been regarded as human favors by her and given to her precious son Mu Chengjian's mentor!

Mu Chengjian is going to study in the most famous White Deer Academy in the capital. According to the rules, He Yueting must please the dean of the White Deer Academy and give him some sweet gifts, so as to ensure that Mu Chengjian will not be bullied in the academy in the future. Peace of mind to study and participate in the selection of the rich and powerful's children.

Ling Xiao had already sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Seeing He Yueting's guilty conscience, Ling Xiao immediately disclosed the matter completely.

Sure enough, when General Mu heard this, he was furious on the spot: "He Yueting! I treat you well, right? You are also in charge of the central support in the mansion. Why do you want to covet Mrs. Mo Xian's legacy?"

He Yueting never expected that Ling Xiao could grasp the information so accurately and timely.

After a while, He Yueting was scolded by General Mu, so she could only go back in silence.

Ling Xiao was done, and when he returned to his ice-drinking small building, he saw Zhen Qiao standing at the door of the Nuan Pavilion in an orderly manner and asked: "Miss, the building is welcome. Would you like to wash and dress up?"

Ling Xiao was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "He has already gone to court? Are you not busy with business today?"

Zhen Qiao also saw that Ling Xiao was in a good mood to return from victory, so she smiled and replied, "As long as Miss Mu is willing, the Prime Minister is always free to accompany you."

Ling Xiao chuckled lightly, and motioned to the maid, Ju Ling, to wash and dress herself.

In the evening, the setting sun is shining brightly in the sky, and the golden-red sunset glow covers the entire blue sky. Coupled with the dark blue mountains in the distance, it looks even more magnificent.

Ling Xiao put on a white gauze hat, and led her maid, Ju Ling, out. According to the address provided by Zhen Qiao, she came to the Huanhua Building not far from the General's Mansion.

Lou Ce ordered an elegant box, and there was a delicate red sandalwood sign hanging on the door of the box, on which was written Tingzhuxuan in gorgeous and elegant lower script.

Ling Xiao pushed the door straight in, turned around from a landscape painting screen, and could see Lou Ce sitting by the window, dressed in chic white clothes, with clear and picturesque eyes, not like a common man at all.
