Liu Qingli frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Liu.

Now that I think about it, my mother would never do something like that.

The dowry of a married woman is of great importance. It is not only the dignity of the married woman's family, but also the basis for the married woman to stay with her husband's family.

Because the dowry is not decent, it is not uncommon for a married woman to be embarrassed by her husband's family.

Even if the mother didn't like her sister, she probably wouldn't treat her badly with the dowry.

Besides, Liu Yanrou is the daughter of the Hou family after all, and the dowry given to her is also related to the reputation of the Hou family.

It is impossible for my mother not to care about the face of the Hou family.

"What's going on? How do I know?"

Mrs. Liu said with twinkling eyes, "When you go back, burn the account book and the dowry list."

"Mother!" Liu Qingli frowned even more tightly, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Qingli's serious look, sighed and said:

"That was an accident. When I found out, the dowry was already too much and I couldn't even change it at the last minute. Besides, didn't I add more than 800 taels to her?"

"More than eight hundred taels?"

Liu Qingli suddenly laughed, "In other words, the original dowry didn't even include the more than 800 taels of silver at the bottom of the box?"

Mrs. Liu’s eyes kept flickering and she shouted:

"Do you think I am willing? I fell ill after I was busy with Qingwan's wedding, so I had to leave the preparation of her dowry to Cuiping. How could I have imagined that Cuiping would do this? By the time I knew it, it was already too late. ”

Liu Qingli smiled bitterly, "So, even if you knew that her dowry was not on the table, you only gave her 880 taels of silver? When Qingwan got married, you gave her a total of 50,000 taels. Silver at the bottom of the box!”

"Then as an elder brother, didn't you even add makeup?"

Mrs. Liu muttered and hummed:

"Besides, I had seen the dowry when the dowry was first prepared. She didn't have any objections at that time. What does it mean to bring it up now? I think she did it on purpose. She didn't say anything at that time, just Waiting to take it out to retaliate against us now!

I just said she was an evildoer and I shouldn’t have taken her back in the first place! "

Listening to his mother's scoldings, Liu Qingli's smile became even more bitter.

But how could he blame his mother?

Didn't he treat her differently and not add makeup to Liu Yanrou?

If he had been more attentive back then, things wouldn't have reached this point.

Liu Qingli got up tiredly and walked out. He stopped again at the door and couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, have you never thought of preparing a dowry for your sister in the two years since she returned to the prime minister's residence?"

From the time a girl from an ordinary family is born, the elders in the family will start to save a dowry.

As far as he knew, his mother would save a sum of money for Qingwan every year. When she got married, she would have the fifty thousand taels of silver from the bottom of the box and countless gold, silver and jade articles as dowry.

But the one given to Liu Yanrou was a last-minute preparation when she was about to get married.

It's better to leave it to the servants to prepare.

A servant is preparing a dowry for the legitimate daughter of the palace?

It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Liu Qingli smiled bitterly and did not listen to Mrs. Liu's explanation.

Mrs. Liu didn't explain much. She sat on the chair and murmured:

"Can you blame me? It's not just that evil person who knows how to irritate people. If she was half as sensible as Qingwan, how could I not be interested in her?

Now he actually went to the street to make the matter known to everyone, deliberately embarrassing the prime minister's house!

She really raised a bad thing, she shouldn't have taken her back in the first place! "

Madam Liu muttered and cursed. The more she cursed, the more she felt that it was all Liu Yanrou's fault.

Since she was dissatisfied with the dowry, why didn't she say it in the first place?

Everyone knows that things have been going bad again in the past year.

"This evil! She did it on purpose!"

Mrs. Liu cursed and sulked.

Liu Qingli left the Prime Minister's Mansion directly, wandered aimlessly on the street, and arrived at the Hou Mansion unknowingly.

Standing at the door of the Marquis Mansion, looking at the gilded characters of Yongchang Marquis Mansion, Liu Qingli was a little lost in thought. He wanted to go in and see Liu Yanrou and ask her why she didn't say anything when she was wronged.

But just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he took it back again.

He didn't seem qualified to ask.

About to turn around and leave.

"Squeak-"

The door suddenly opened.

When Jian Shao saw Liu Qingli at the door, his originally gloomy and ugly expression was immediately filled with surprise, "Second brother, why don't you come in when you're here."

Liu Qingli felt a little embarrassed for a moment and laughed dryly: "I was passing by and came to see my sister."

"Okay, let's go. I'll take my second brother there."

Jian Shao suddenly stopped caring about other things and led Liu Qingli towards Liu Yanrou's yard with a smile on his face.

He was still angry about the censor's impeachment.

I went to Tang's house yesterday. I originally wanted to talk to my grandfather about the second aunt's dealings with the Hou Mansion, but in the end, my grandfather didn't see him at all.

He went to find his eldest uncle and his second uncle again, but he also met with disappointment. The two aunts were very angry at him.

Jian Shao was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He planned to have a better attitude today and have a good chat with his uncle and uncle.

As a result, as soon as I went out, I ran into my second uncle.

I almost fell asleep and someone gave me a pillow.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is much more powerful than the Tang Family.

As long as the Prime Minister is willing to help, his impeachment by the censor can be easily solved.

再去金吾卫打个招呼,家中铺子的麻烦也能很快解决。

Jian Shao had a small calculation in mind and enthusiastically took Liu Qingli to Liu Yanrou's yard.

But just as he arrived at the door of the courtyard, he heard Liu Yanrou's laughter coming from the courtyard.

Liu Qingli suddenly stopped.

Jian Shao looked at him in confusion, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

I saw Liu Qingli's expression changing all the time, and suddenly said:

"I suddenly remembered that I had something else to do, so I left first."

Jian Shaoren was stunned and wanted to catch up, but saw Liu Qingli walking very fast, as if he really had something to deal with in a hurry.

But Jian Shao is not stupid. Liu Qingli's words are just an excuse at first glance.

Something must have happened between him and Liu Yanrou.

Jian Shao watched helplessly as the pillow placed under his head was taken away again, feeling annoyed and helpless.

Hearing Liu Yanrou's laughter coming from the yard, she went in with a dark face and asked:

"What's going on between you and the Prime Minister?"

She is obviously her biological daughter who was finally found, but the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't want to see her.

He followed him to the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, but was turned away.

Mrs. Liu finally came here two days ago, but he left without even seeing anyone.

Liu Qingli came over today, but before saying a few words, he left again.

Mrs. Liu stopped talking, and Liu Qingli’s sudden departure was obviously related to Liu Yanrou!

Liu Yanrou was listening to Xunqiao's report on what happened to the Tang family yesterday. When she heard that Tang and Jian Shao were embarrassed one after another, she laughed heartily. Suddenly she saw Jian Shao questioning her with a dark face. She was startled for a moment, raised her eyebrows and smiled. He asked:

"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"

同时看向寻巧。

Xunqiao left for a while, then came back and whispered a few words in her ear.

Knowing that Liu Qingli had just arrived, Liu Yanrou's lips curled up into a smile. She looked at Jian Shao with a bit more gloating, and at the same time she understood the reason for his dark face.

好不容易抓住了柳青礼这个能帮他解决御史弹劾以及汤家铺子危机的稻草,结果临门一脚,这根稻草飞了。

It would be strange not to be angry!

However, it would be better to be angry to death!

Looking at Jian Shao's dark expression, Liu Yanrou felt better. She poured herself tea and took a sip. She admired Jian Shao's ugly face and said slowly:

"It turns out it's because of Young Master Liu. He must be here to cause trouble for me."
