Su Chengye was stunned, asking for a dowry?

When Lin Wanyin heard that Lin Wuchen was back, she told Aunt Bai and others, "You send these to the third young master first, and I will open the warehouse."

Su Chengye and Mrs. Su panicked when they heard this.

Lin Wanyin has been in the family for almost twenty years, and all the money from her dowry has long been gone. The title deeds to the house, shop and land were in Lin Wanyin's hands, and the rest of the things were mixed with the things in the Su family's warehouse.

In the hearts of Su Chengye and the old lady, Lin Wanyin's dowry was the Su family's property.

"Where do you still have the dowry?" the old lady blurted out.

Lin Wanyin glanced at her disdainfully, "I have accounts, don't worry, I'll take everything that's mine. If it's not mine, I won't touch it."

But how could the old lady listen to this? In their opinion, the Su family had nothing of Lin Wanyin's. They didn't care about letting her take away the gold and silver.

Everyone walked from Ziwei Garden to the Su family's warehouse.

Shen Zhixiu accompanied Su Qingyu and whispered: "Mother-in-law came prepared. I think this matter can be settled today."

Su Qingyu's eyebrows were a little worried, "Let's take a look first, touching the money is equivalent to touching the life of the Su family, I'm afraid..."

She wanted to say that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, but she didn't think it sounded good, so she said half of it.

But Shen Zhixiu understood the meaning of her words, held her hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't think too much, nothing big will happen to me if I stand here."

The heat in her palms calmed Su Qingyu's anxious heart, and she followed her mother calmly.

After Lin Wanyin opened the warehouse, she said to Lin Wuchen: "I have marked everything I want to take away. If it is tied with red silk, whether it is a box or a brocade box, I will load it into the car and take it away."

Everyone in the Su family looked around and saw a piece of red silk in the warehouse.

After looking for a long time, I didn't see anyone untied.

The old lady almost fainted while stroking her forehead. Was she going to raid the Su family's warehouse?

Su Chengye had already raised his voice and called out to the housekeeper, "Go, call all the servants in the mansion and kick these people out."

Lin Wuchen snorted. His people were all strong men who traveled around to escort goods. One person can beat ten of the Su family, what should he be afraid of?

Sure enough, let alone beating people out, the Lin family's mercy was the only way to save the lives of the Su family's servants.

Later, I don't know who reported it to the official, and Yin of Shuntian Prefecture came with his servants.

As soon as the yamen servant entered the door, Su Chengye immediately felt confident.

Shuntian Prefecture Yin Li Zhiyong saluted Su Chengye, "Someone reported to the official that there was a thief in Pingninghou Mansion. Isn't the official late?"

Su Chengye said hurriedly: "It's not too late, it's not too late. I'm in the warehouse, so I'll bother Mr. Li."

The two of them chatted and led the people outside the warehouse.

Li Zhiyong shouted loudly outside, "Come here, go in, catch the thieves inside, and throw them all into the Shuntian Mansion Prison."

"You dare to cause trouble in Pingninghou Mansion, are you tired of living?"

Li Zhiyong, like Su Chengye, was a third-grade official, and even Li Zhiyong had much more power than Su Chengye.

But Su Chengye had a title, and the Su family was a serious aristocratic family, which Li Zhiyong, who was born in a poor family, could not compare with. So when Li Zhiyong faced Su Chengye, he unconsciously lowered his head.

Shen Zhixiu was originally in the warehouse, standing by the window talking to Lin Wanli, and suddenly frowned when he heard Li Zhiyong's voice outside.

He opened the window slightly and glanced at the Shuntian government officials in the dark courtyard.

"Uncle, I'm going out to meet Mr. Li."

Lin Wanli said hurriedly: "You go, you have to come forward in this matter."

No matter how arrogant the Lin family is, they cannot challenge Shuntian Mansion.

Shen Zhixiu turned around and walked out of the warehouse and walked up to Li Zhiyong and Su Chengye.

"Why are Master Li here?"

Shen Zhixiu spoke in a calm tone, with no hint of emotion or anger.

Seeing that Shen Zhixiu was also there, Li Zhiyong quickly saluted and said, "Master Shen is also here. I heard that a thief entered Pingninghou Mansion, so I came here to arrest him."

Li Zhiyong was still feeling a little happy, thinking that he was lucky today and could sell Shen Ge to the old one.

Shen Zhixiu stood with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Master Li, please go back. I have a bit of a misunderstanding, so I won't report it to the official."

The tone of his speech is not serious, but he is not angry or intimidating.

Li Zhiyong also had contact with Shen Zhixiu on weekdays, but it was all on official business. This is the first time this has happened today.

He subconsciously looked at Su Chengye. This is not what the Marquis of Pingning said just now.

When Su Chengye heard what Shen Zhixiu said, he was not convinced.

On the side, he asked cautiously: "What do you mean by my good husband, just let them take the things and leave like this?"

There was all the Su family's wealth in there. When he thought of this, he felt like his heart was bleeding.

Shen Zhixiu raised his long eyebrows slightly, "Isn't it mostly the mother-in-law's dowry, as well as the property earned by her mother-in-law's dowry shop over the years?"

Su Chengye didn't want to admit it, but he didn't dare to lie when he saw Shen Zhixiu's deep eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

Shen Zhixiu smiled and said, "Then why are you stopping me? I don't want to give up the three hundred years of reputation of the Pingning Marquis Mansion?"

"This kind of thing can be big or small. It has reached the ears of the officials in Liu Ke Lang. Several leaks have been made to the imperial court. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to speak for my father-in-law."

Shen Zhixiu spoke slowly and analyzed the pros and cons sentence by sentence.

Su Chengye's expression also changed again and again. Everything Shen Zhixiu said made sense.

Money is important, but the reputation of the Marquis and his official career are even more important.

Although he was unwilling to do so, Su Chengye also knew that there was no room for change in this matter.

After figuring out the key, Su Chengye successfully sent Li Zhiyong out. He also asked someone to take a bag of silver and invited the brothers from Shuntian Mansion to drink tea.

But Li Zhiyong tried to evade it again and again, but he confiscated not a penny.

With Shen Zhixiu's intervention, everything went surprisingly smoothly. In an hour, the Lin family loaded all the boxes marked by Lin Wanyin into the car and left the Hou Mansion smoothly.

Mrs. Su looked at the almost empty warehouse and was so angry that she leaned on her chair. Aunt Yuan beside her hurriedly ordered someone to make ginseng tea and bring it.

After everyone in the Lin family left, Su Chengye, Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu accompanied the old lady back to Songhe Hall.

Su Qingyu had a smile on her lips, and her mother's departure made her feel extremely happy. The big stone in my heart was finally removed.

A few people sat down in the side hall, and Zhichun walked in with ginseng tea.

Su Qingyu thought about it, stood up and said, "Don't make this ginseng tea too strong. Grandma and father are old and are not suitable for drinking such strong ginseng tea."

As he spoke, he came to the door, and Zhichun, who was holding a mahogany lacquer tray, also stopped.

Su Qingyu gently lifted the lid of the ginseng tea. When she stood up just now, she quietly took the Duanzi Juesunwan in her hand and dropped it into the stew pot along the palm of her hand.

The pills melt when exposed to water, and no other abnormality is visible except that the color is slightly darker.

Su Qingyu calmly picked up another cup of ginseng tea and handed it to the old lady.

He picked up the cup again and handed it to Su Chengye with his own hands.

"Father, are you tired today? Drink ginseng tea to calm down."
