Maybe he mentioned Shen's dowry, or maybe he saw that the familiar-looking red coral ornament in front of him was actually from Shen's room. Xu Cifusheng suppressed his anger, lowered his head and coughed lightly.

Xu Yixuan pretended not to see what Xu Cifu was thinking, looked at Nanny Sun with a calm expression, and then said: "Dad, my daughter was at the second concubine's house just now. She learned that her daughter was about to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's house, so she asked out of curiosity. In one sentence, the father and the second wife were planning to give their daughter a dowry. But Sister Han told her daughter that she could not ask her father how much dowry they were going to give her. So the daughter remembered that her mother had said that her dowry would be left to her in the future. Daughter, take her back to the Zhenguo Duke’s Palace, and never let your daughter be looked down upon by the Zhenguo Duke’s Palace because of her dowry.”

"Nanny Shen knows this matter best." After saying that, Xu Yixuan pointed to the grey-haired nanny beside her with a smile.

"Mother Shen has met my uncle." Mother Shen stepped forward and saluted Xu Cifu, and then handed the booklet containing the list of betrothal gifts to Xu Cifu respectfully.

Mother Shen was once the Shen family's nanny, so Xu Cifu naturally knew her. Looking at the booklet handed to him, Xu Cifu didn't understand anything, so he immediately laughed angrily and said: "Okay, very good! As expected of a daughter of the Shen family!"

Xu Yixuan blinked, and Xu Cifu's figure was clearly reflected in her big black and white eyes: "So daddy remembers to keep his promise and let his daughter's surname be 'Shen'?"

Xu Cifu's face turned dark instantly.

I think back then, Xu Cifu, who was still a poor scholar, actually entered the Shen family as his son-in-law. Although this dynasty does not despise the son-in-law as much as the previous dynasty, the son-in-law is still inferior to others and is not even allowed to take part in the imperial examination to gain fame.

Grandpa Shen first cherished his talent, and secondly, he also had some selfish motives. He wanted to keep his only daughter alive. Furthermore, considering that his old wife and daughter had agreed to get along many times, he actually changed his words and no longer agreed. Entered the Shen family.

For this reason, Xu Cifu took the initiative to propose that one of the children born to the Shen family be named Shen in the future, so that the Shen family would not be cut off. It's a pity that when Mrs. Shen gave birth to her second child, she suffered a massive hemorrhage and died...

"What do you want?" Xu Cifu carefully looked at the eldest daughter in front of him for the first time, who had not been around him since she was a child.

Xu Yixuan straightened her sleeves and replied with a smile: "Just now, the second concubine has promised my daughter that before her daughter gets married, she will sort out the dowry left by her mother and send it back to her. On her way to the capital, she heard that The mother-in-law who picked up her daughter praised her second mistress for her virtuous nature. Besides, her father and second mistress had prepared a large dowry for sister Han. Thinking about it, her daughter, the only flesh and blood left by her original wife, should be about the same. Where to go."

Hearing the piano knows its elegant meaning.

Xu Cifu obviously understood the true meaning of Xu Yixuan's words. Ordinarily, it is not impossible to come up with this large sum of money, but it will inevitably break your muscles and bones. This made Xu Cifu, who was poor and scared at heart, feel heartbroken and reluctant to part with him.

Even Xu Cifu vaguely guessed that Xu Yixuan was not willing to completely offend her mother's family, thinking that the Duke of Zhenguo who was about to marry could be her backer.

How childish! ridiculous!

It’s just like this!

A trace of anger flashed across Xu Cifu's eyes. After a brief silence, he almost gritted his molars and said, "As a father, I will not let you down!"

After saying that, Xu Cifu shook his sleeves and left Piaoxiang Yard angrily.

Afterwards, not long afterward, Bai Qing, the most nimble among the maids, brought follow-up news. After Xu Cifu left Piaoxiangyuan, he went straight to the main courtyard. When he saw his true love, Xu Wu, he slapped her.

This slap directly distorted most of Xu Wu's face.
