Quick travel: I rely on the childbirth system to pamper my harem

After measuring the size, Yu Shuyao did not stay and went straight back to her own yard.

Yu Qingning started sewing clothes.

He stroked the fabric one stroke at a time, looking very serious.

In the next half month, Yu Qingning went out twice, staying out for two hours each time before coming back. She took no one with her, and no one knew where she went.

Yu Shuyao couldn't hold her temper and secretly met with Cheng Yanzhou several times.

Yu Qingning didn't know how the two developed, but seeing Yu Shuyao's blushing face every time he came back, he guessed that the two must have become closer and had a deep relationship.

However, Yu's mother scolded Yu Shuyao and told her not to be too presumptuous, as she would be criticized by others.

But Yu Shuyao didn't take it to heart at all and continued to do as she pleased. She just wanted to maintain a good relationship with Cheng Yanzhou to avoid being taken advantage of by others!

Yu's mother loved her and couldn't bear to punish her, so she could only let her do what she wanted.

During this period, Yu's mother even pretended to call Yu Qingning over to learn the rules, saying that she didn't want her to go to the general's mansion after getting married and bring disgrace to the Yu family. In fact, she was just doing it for the servants to see.

This made the servants feel that she, as the mistress, did not favor one over the other just because she was a stepdaughter.

That day, Yu's mother asked Yu Qingning to come over to discuss the dowry.

Yu Qingning's biological mother originally gave her a fortune from her marriage, but over the years, since Yu's mother married in, she has spent seven hundred and seventy-eight dollars on it and confiscated it from time to time.

What's more, the money went into Yu's mother's private pocket under the pretext of supplementing the household income.

"Have you finished reading this gift list?" Yu's mother held up her stand and asked, leaning on the chair.

Yu Qingning's eyes narrowed slightly, showing no emotion or anger: "Go back to mother, I've finished reading it."

"Do you have any objections?" Yu's mother paused and smiled very kindly, "You and Yao Niang are getting married on the same day. Mother originally wanted you to take the same thing, but——"

Mother Yu glanced at Yu Qingning, her eyes were not very kind: "But after all, the man Yao Niang is going to marry, Cheng Yanzhou, is relatively poor. As a mother, I must favor her and not let her suffer."

"As your elder sister, she has to endure the hardships for you. Mother believes in Ning Niang and should understand the deep meaning of this."

This man is the one Yu Shuyao wants to marry desperately, but Yu Qingning is forced to bear the love.

This feeling is really funny.

Yu Qingning smiled slightly: "Ning Niang understands what mother said. Ning Niang can get married without asking for anything."

"How can that be done?" Yu's mother still cares about face, so she let Yu Qingning get married without bringing anything. Wouldn't she have to bear the reputation of abusing her stepdaughter in the future?

How will she gain a foothold in the capital then?

How to find a wife for your son?

Mother Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said slowly: "The things on these gift lists are all yours, but you can't argue with Yao Niang about the other things, and your father... you can't say anything too much, do you understand? "

"Mother."

Suddenly, Yu Qingning raised his head.

Mother Zhang next to Yu's mother thought that Yu Qingning wanted to resist, so she immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Girl, Madam has taken good care of you over the years. She has provided you with everything you need in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You can't be ungrateful. Madam doesn't ask you to do many things. Just this one thing, and you won't agree to it?"

A woman's dowry represents her status after leaving her husband's family.

If it's less, the husband's family will definitely feel that the wife's family doesn't pay enough attention to her and will look down on her. What Yu's mother wants is the effect, she doesn't want Yu Qingning to live a good life.

Especially when marrying into the General's Mansion, Yu Qingning had high hopes.

Yu Qingning said: "It's not that Ning Niang refuses to agree, it's just that Ning Niang feels that the dowry is still too much. Ning Niang can give up these and only want one thing."

"What?" Yu's mother became interested.

Yu Qingning said solemnly: "A little wooden figure."

Yu's mother thought Yu Qingning was stupid, but she didn't show it. She just asked, "Where is it?"

"In the warehouse, that is the souvenir left by Ning Niang's biological mother to me."

Seeing Yu Qingning's eyes flushed red and she looked like she was about to cry, Yu's mother twitched her lips and said kindly, "Mother Zhang, go get it with the eldest girl now."

"Yes."

Mother Zhang responded and took Yu Qingning away.

When they arrived at the door, Yu's mother said in a nonchalant manner: "I'll give you the little wooden sculpture. These dowries are also yours. Although I am a stepmother, I won't be so mean. Ning Niang, just take the wooden sculpture and be ready to marry." "

"Mother Zhang, take the older girl with you. Don't take the wrong road or take the wrong things."

Mother Zhang nodded.

It’s not that Yu Qingning didn’t understand.

Yu's mother was just afraid that she would look around and move around when she went to the warehouse. She was not afraid that she would steal things, but that she would know something she shouldn't know, such as the account books.

In the warehouse, many things were newly replaced by Yu's mother.

All the treasures left by Yu Qingning's biological mother have been replaced by Yu's mother, so as to avoid being exposed in the future.

After searching for a long time, Yu Qingning poured out the wooden sculpture in a vase.

It was covered with cobwebs, dirty, black and ugly, and looked very unremarkable.

I can't even tell what material it is made of.

All I know is that the facial features are somewhat similar to Yu Qingning, and it should be carved according to the appearance of her biological mother.

"Miss, have you found it?" Mother Zhang asked at the door.

Yu Qingning nodded: "Found it."

"Then please come out quickly. I'm going to lock the door of the storeroom."

When they came out, Mother Zhang looked at the wood carving in Yu Qingning's hand again and again. Yu Qingning did not stop her and walked out with the dirty wood carving in his hand.

Not long after, Mother Zhang went back to report.

Yu's mother said aloofly: "How?"

Zhang’s mother immediately said: “The eldest girl indeed only took a wooden carving, which looks somewhat similar to her late mother.”

"What are you doing with a wooden sculpture?"

Zhang’s mother said: “Maybe you miss your mother too much?”

"If this is true, then she is really filial, but if not, what is her purpose?" Mother Yu weighed her fingers on the armrest, confused.

"Is it possible that the wood carving has a secret?" Zhang's mother was not brainless and immediately guessed the key to the problem.

Yu's mother's eyes darkened: "That girl is smart. Even though she looks innocent on the outside, she is more scheming than my mother-in-law. Don't let her get into trouble."

Mother Zhang said, "But I can't tell what's in that wood carving."

"Go and call Tao Rui over."

Mother Zhang immediately said yes.

……

After returning to the yard, Yu Qingning sent Tao Rui away and asked her to fetch a basin of water.

After Tao Rui left, she took out the wood carving.

Use a needle to poke a very inconspicuous small hole that looks like a worm's eye.

"Click" sound.

The palm-sized wood carving was split in the middle, and a small token was placed inside. It was very thin and made of the same material as the wood carving. It had not deteriorated over the years and was even more shining.

"Girl, the water is here."

When Taorui came back, Yu Qingning had packed everything up. She put the wood carving into the water and washed it again and again, then wiped it clean and put it in the shrine with great care.

"Girl, whose wood carving is this?"

"Damn it." Yu Qingning said.

Tao Rui said in panic, "But didn't the master say that you are not allowed to offer incense to your mother's tablet?"
