Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Chapter 213: What is Bai Qingling’s identity, princess or concubine?

"Your Highness, you can't!" Bai Qingling pleaded in a low voice.

Ban Sicao: "The prince is a real man, but this woman, tsk... she is not worthy of him at all!"

Zhou Ruyuan looked at Ban Sicao viciously and angrily asked Shen Lanxi: "Who is he? How dare he talk to me like that? Aren't you afraid that I will punish him for contempt for the royal family?"

Shen Lanxi looked straight at her with sharp eyes: "Who is Bai Qingling? She has been speaking on behalf of the Zhennan Palace, obstructing your decision, and intervening in the matter of returning my dowry? Is she the Princess of Zhennan, or a concubine who has been on the royal list?"

Bai Qingling stared at Shen Lanxi intently, gritting her teeth tightly. Her stomach suddenly ached and a heat surged down her spine.

His expression suddenly changed.

"Doctor, please save my child!"

Shen Lanxi: "She has no name, no status, no rank, and she actually uses the power of the Zhennan Palace to show off to the court officials. Isn't she afraid that the court will punish her for contempt of court officials?"

Zhou Ruyuan stared at Shen Lanxi intently. On one side was Bai Qingling who was carried in in a panic, and on the other side was her aggressive attitude. At this moment, he felt like he was being torn in two.

Ban Sicao: "Why don't you say a word? You grown man are dithering. Where are you, God of War?" He was originally worried that if he said too much, he would get Shen Lanxi into trouble, but now he is not afraid anymore.

There is someone holding Zhou Ruyuan back!

I don’t know what’s wrong with his eyes. He doesn’t want such a dazzling pearl and instead wants a pair of dead fish eyes.

Does he even know what he's missing out on?

"Here, I'll go count the property and ask someone to write a receipt!" Zhou Ruyuan stared at Ban Sicao with a gloomy look.

"I, Zhou Ruyuan, would not do such a dirty thing as to seize the dowry. It was because the palace was robbed that I could not take out so many things at once. I will try my best to give you one third today. If you have something, you can use it as a substitute, and if you don't have anything, you can use it as cash!"

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "The King of Zhennan is indeed the Great Zhou God of War. He is very courageous!"

Zhou Ruyuan felt that this sentence was full of irony. Did Shen Lanxi know that after such a commotion today, she would never be able to step into the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion again?

Does she really not leave herself any way out?

Zhou Ruyuan didn't believe it. Shen Lanxi didn't understand what her father and the queen meant by their actions today.

After receiving Zhou Ruyuan's signal, the butler immediately went to count the property in the palace.

The palace only had antique paintings and calligraphy and some ornaments left. The prince had just returned from the palace, bringing a lot of medicinal herbs and gifts from Concubine Shu. This was actually worth some money. When Shen Lanxi married into the palace, the dowry list was a thick book, which was like moving a mountain of gold and silver into the palace.

Those things are not even enough to offset one third of it!

Zhou Ruyuan looked at Shen Lanxi deeply, then turned and entered the palace.

After a while, people in the palace began to carry things out.

The Shen family took out the dowry list for verification.

"The two-handled vase can be sold for one thousand taels, which is equivalent to the cornucopia of dowry!"

"A painting by a famous artist is worth as much as a dowry!"

"A jade ornament is worth a piece of ornament..."

……

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

Zhou Ruyuan came back in a hurry and handed a stack of banknotes and a box to the butler!

The housekeeper couldn't hold on any longer, and for the sake of the palace's reputation, he had people carry out the ivory and cloth bed bestowed by the emperor. If the prince didn't come back, he would have no choice but to have people carry away the palace's precious tables and chairs.

What a risk!

"The rest will be paid in silver notes and these jewels."

The housekeeper hurried to hand over to the Shen family.

In the end, all the banknotes were used up, and only a red hairpin was left in the jewelry box, which only paid off one third of the money!

Shen Lanxi signed the document neatly.

"Two days later, please ask the King of Zhennan to personally deliver the remaining two-thirds to the Shen family as written in the document!"

"I have copied the dowry list, and I will leave this copy for the palace to check!"

Shen Lanxi climbed onto the horse, and left with her family and six large carts of belongings!

Ban Sicao raised his voice: "The Shen family is having a happy occasion. Anyone who comes to say congratulations tomorrow will receive two copper coins!"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes went dark and he felt the blood boiling in his chest, as if a fire was burning.

He couldn't hold it in any longer, and with a "pu" he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the side.

"My Lord, hurry up and help me..."

Shen Lanxi returned to the Shen Mansion in a very ostentatious manner!

"I'll take the banknotes and the money, and the rest is yours!" After arriving at the Shen family, she cut the Gordian knot and directly divided one third of the dowry.

"Do you have any objections?" Shen Lanxi looked around.

No one spoke.

"Since no one has any objections, let's do it this way! Once the remaining two-thirds are delivered, we'll divide them up!"

She stood up and was about to leave.

"Lan Xi, aren't you afraid of offending Zhou Ruyuan?" Shen Congwen asked with a frown.

After Zhou Ruyuan vomited blood, he regretted it, but at that time he had reached that point and there was no way back.

Shen Lanxi: "You all saw it. He humiliated me at the welcoming banquet today. If I don't fight back, won't the whole court think that our Shen family is spineless?"

Shen Congwen frowned and did not agree with Shen Lanxi's statement.

"Today, the Queen intends to match you with Zhou Ruyuan. If you make a scene like this, can you still expect Zhou Ruyuan to accept you in the future?"

Shen Lanxi knew that the Shen family would think so.

"There is absolutely no possibility between me and Zhou Ruyuan. Instead of worrying about me, you should think about how to redress the grievances for our Shen family!"

Because of the commotion over the dowry, the Shen family had forgotten about it.

"Okay, it's already this hour, let's eat first."

Miao and Tian stared outside without blinking. Everyone wanted it, but no one wanted to be the first to speak.

Tian's eyes turned and she said, "Sister-in-law, today I saw many young ladies from official families staring at Yuan Xu and Yuan Kun. It's time to prepare for the marriage of these two children."

Liu said angrily, "Does it cost money to hire an official matchmaker? Those official matchmakers are the most snobbish. Without money to open the way, they will all stay away."

Liu's eyes lit up: "Mother, Yuanxu and Yuankun came back in a hurry this time, and they didn't even bring two sets of clothes. They say that you should respect the clothes first and then the people. They don't dress well, and those families with daughters will look down on our family!"

Old Madam Shen had a dark face. She glared at Tian first, and then glared at Liu.

What a stupid thing, always making people build rafts!

"I will take care of their affairs. Okay, I'm tired. Have someone send my and your father's meals to the room. Everyone, go away!"

That night, six large carts of things were delivered, four of which went to the old lady's private warehouse, and two of which went to the warehouse of the Shen family's public house.

Royal Palace

"Did she really take the dowry away?" Emperor Renxiao put down the memorial and asked calmly.

Wang Bao bowed and replied, "They took it away. Six carts in total. I heard that the palace is empty!"

Emperor Renxiao snorted and laughed: "What a childish temper!"
