Every time I dress up as a little pitiful
Chapter 60
After making a big fuss, and then returning to the residence, the maids and servants in the yard looked at the blessings with trepidation, for fear that this ruthless man would remember what they had neglected before and deal with them.
Zhu Zi glanced over and waved: "Chrysanthemum, come here, the rest of the people should do whatever they want, don't stand in front of the master."
The maid named Chrysanthemum followed Zhu Zi into the room with dull eyes, took out the flat box from her bosom, and handed it to Zhu Zi with both hands.
After receiving the box, I prayed and waved: "Okay, let's go out, let the kitchen send some hot water, and I will take a shower later."
Chrysanthemum responded and went out the door, her expression was in a trance, and her eyes became clear.
Lan Hua, who has a good relationship with her, quietly dragged her aside: "What does Eldest Young Master want you for?"
Chrysanthemum lowered her mouth: "What can I do? I'm looking for something to do. I want to take a bath. Let me go to the kitchen to get hot water. It's a daytime bath, tsk~"
Shaking his head, he was very disdainful.
As expected of someone who grew up on Zhuangzi, if he gets a little more powerful, he will be insanely insane.
Lan Hua frowned: "He burned the kitchen, where can I get hot water? Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?"
"Why don't you say he's just looking for trouble? That's fine, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go quickly before it's too late. He's looking for me by the hair."
No matter how disdainful, he is also the master, Mrs. Hou Ye can only suffer in front of him, and now she doesn't have the courage to neglect him in the open.
Inside the house, Zhu Zi opened the flat box with a slight force on his hand.There are several silver bills pressed on the top of the box, ranging from a few thousand taels to tens of thousands of taels. A rough calculation is about 5 taels.Under the bank note is an exquisite booklet with Bing Dilian printed on it. On the red base map, there are several bronzing lower letters-"Wanniang Zhu's Dowry List".
More than ten years have passed, and the booklet is still brand new. It is obvious that it has not been used since it was put in the box.
I wished to flip through the prayers roughly, and I probably had a bottom line in my heart.
Put the banknotes into the flat box, put them in the space, stuff the dowry list into the sleeve pocket, and wait for the people from Le's to come to the door.
Leshi did not disappoint him, and quickly asked the housekeeper to carry six large boxes into the yard: "Young master, the old lady ordered you to bring Mrs. Zhu's dowry here, have you had a look?"
Blessing asked someone to move a chair and put it in the yard. He leaned on it and raised his chin: "Are you sure the old lady asked you to carry it here, and you didn't embezzle my mother's dowry in private?"
The housekeeper didn't look at Qiao Anzhu in the first place before. After today's incident, the housekeeper no longer dared to put on that superior face, nodded and bowed humblely, and said bitterly: "Young master, don't scare me!" I'm a little one, even if I give him a hundred courage, I won't dare to embezzle Mrs. Zhu's dowry."
Zhu prayed and stroked his chin, and suddenly said: "Go and ask Master Hou, when will you send me the agreed agreement. By the way, tell Master Hou, if I am not satisfied with the agreement, I will not be happy .”
The butler's face froze, and he didn't want to send a message.
He's not stupid, and what he said sounds like a threat.
Hou Ye suffered a serious crime at noon, and now he ran over to make this call, didn't he rush to hit the muzzle of the gun?
Zhu prayed and glanced over: "Why? Don't want to go? If that's the case, then I'll go and talk about it myself."
The butler's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "How dare you work for the young master, the young one will go now, this dowry?"
I prayed with a "huh", "Let's put it here first, and these boys stay here and don't move. I will put the dowry in the warehouse later, and I have to work for them to help carry it."
The housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief and just accepted the dowry, at least the old lady's task was completed.
I couldn't help laughing in my heart, as expected, I was still young and ignorant, I only knew how to play tricks, and I didn't even think about it, Mrs. Zhu married into the Marquis Mansion to be the wife of the eldest son, how could she only have a shabby dowry.
After thinking about it, the young master was sent to Zhuangzi since he was a child. After so many years, he is not even as good as a decent servant. He has never seen anything good. In his eyes, six lifts is already a lot, right?
Hey, sure enough, this person still has to accept his fate.
No matter how good the background is, what's the use of not being loved by your father?Didn't she develop a small-sighted look and end up with a happy ending?
This broken life is not as good as his son!
Thinking about it this way, the housekeeper had a strange sense of superiority, and he didn't even feel repulsed when he sent a letter to the Marquis of Min.
When Minhou fell down, his buttocks and back were pierced several times by broken porcelain. After seeing it, the government doctor told him not to see the wound for five days, lest the wound fester and make it more difficult to heal.
Qiao Nan is the most elegant, and he bathes with fragrant soup every day.
Hearing that he couldn't take a bath for five days, his face turned black like ink, and he cursed again, even if a few gentle concubines were around to comfort him, he still couldn't calm down the anger in his chest.
Jiang Shu held back her impatience, and carefully asked the government doctor about various precautions, acting like a good wife.
When the government doctor was sent away, the servant girl just brought up the boiled soup when the steward came over and said the prayers in a polite manner.
Qiao Nan's face turned blue with anger: "You son of a bitch, Ben Hou is not in a hurry yet, he hastened to wake up Ben Hou! Well, Ben Hou wants to see what he can live without Ben Hou Sample!"
Regardless of the pain on his body, he insisted on walking to the study room, and wrote a letter of divorce, using his private seal and fingerprint, and threw it to the housekeeper angrily: "Give it to that little bastard!"
After all, I was scruples about the words of prayer, and I didn't dare to write too much. The main idea is that the relationship is weak, and I can't continue to be father and son.
I wished to read it once, and felt very satisfied. I clapped my hands and greeted the boys who carried the dowry: "Since the divorce letter has been written, it is not appropriate to keep my things in the Marquis's mansion. You carry them out for me and send them to the dowry." Save it in the bank."
The butler didn't dare to agree to this, he hesitated and said, "You have to ask Lord Hou and the old lady what they mean."
Wishing and waving: "Hurry up, don't delay my business. If you can't go out with the dowry at night, I will put the dowry in your yard, and I will ask you for the missing one son."
The housekeeper yelled in his heart and wished him shameless false accusations. This was clearly an attempt to trick him!
Not daring to delay, he ran to report the letter.
Minhou was so angry that he didn't want to hear any news about Nizi at all, so the housekeeper went to Songhetang again after making a futile trip.
On the contrary, Le Shi called the housekeeper in and questioned it carefully, and made sure that there was no suspicion in the prayer, and then he said with a heartbroken look: "Forget it, since he doesn't believe in the mansion, let him decide for himself."
It doesn't matter if you carry it out, as long as the dowry is put in the bank, there will be no reason for this evil person to make a fuss if he finds out the truth about the dowry in the future.
Leshi squinted his eyes, feeling very happy.
The butler got the right words, and didn't bother to run anymore, so he sent someone to tell Zhu Ji, and said the old lady's words again.
After praying for the right words, he said to the boys who carried the boxes: "I won't let you run in vain. After a while, the matter will be completed, and I will reward you with two taels of silver."
The servants who were called to carry the boxes were rough envoys in the mansion, and they all did the dirty and tiring work of miscellaneous work, not to mention the oil and water, and the monthly salary was pitifully low.
At this time, when he heard that there were two taels of silver to take, he was as excited as if he had been beaten.
Zhu prayed with a smile: "Saving money is a happy event, how can such a happy event not be lively?" After thinking about it, he went into the room and took out the bronze mirror and tea bowl.
"Let's go, while it's still early, go early and return early."
He received orders from the housekeeper at the gate, so he didn't dare to stop him. He just watched Zhu Mo lead twelve young men carrying six boxes and left.
When he got outside the door, Zhu prayed without saying a word, and the tea bowl in his hand knocked on the bronze mirror with a "dang dang dang" sound.
Such weird behavior and the weird team behind attracted a group of people to watch.
Where have the boys seen such a battle before? All of them are so nervous that they can hardly think anymore. They only know to follow the prayers.
When they arrived at the destination and put down the boxes, the servants looked up and were scared out of their wits—there were three big characters "Jingzhaofu" written on the high gate as black as ink!
Even those who could not read among them knew that this was a Yamen.
Didn't you mean to go to the bank to save money?Why did the young master bring them to the yamen?
**
"Old madam, old madam, it's bad! Eldest young master sued our house, saying that our house was greedy for his biological mother's dowry!!"
The voice of the servant girl being shocked came from afar.
Le Shi heard it clearly, and stood up abruptly: "Whoever is shouting outside, why don't you come in and say it!"
The servant girl ran in scrambling, and said eagerly: "The butler asked the maidservant to pass the message, saying that the young master went to Jingzhao Mansion to sue our house, saying that our house was greedy for his biological mother's dowry, and let Jingzhao Mansion decide for him. "
Le Shi scolded first: "What young master? The young master is our brother Fu. He is a scoundrel who was kicked out. What kind of young master is he? Let me hear you grinning again, and pay attention to your rotten mouth!"
The servant girl shrank her neck and froze in fright.
Mrs. Jiang rushed over when she heard the news, and when she heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched indistinctly, with an anxious and worried look on her face: "Auntie, An Zhu has sued our family, what should we do?"
Le Shi sat down slowly, with a calm expression on his face: "Why are you panicking? The dowry was completely handed over to him in our mansion, and something is wrong once the dowry is out of the Hou's mansion. Who knows what's going on."
The servant girl was afraid, and whispered: "The butler said, big... the one who knocked and knocked as soon as he came out of the gate attracted the attention of the people in the capital. People surrounded him all the way to Jingzhao Mansion. He There is absolutely no possibility of tampering with the dowry, and those common people can testify to it."
Le Shi: "..."
Le Shi took a deep breath and sneered: "Very well, I underestimated him, I didn't expect him to have such scheming!"
Jiang said worriedly: "Since he dared to make trouble, I'm afraid he was prepared."
After all, when Zhu Wan married, it was 88 who carried the dowry. Now that she has been dismissed in six boxes, everyone would feel wrong. There is no need to find a dowry list, only someone who knows what happened back then can testify.
She thought that what her aunt said to send Qiao Anzhu away, at least she had to put on a show, at least the top of the cage was not bad, but she didn't expect her aunt to be so unreliable and only willing to go out of the way.
At this moment, Jiang Shu couldn't help complaining to Leshi in her heart, she was really confused, and she couldn't do things out of her head.
Le Shi cast a sideways glance at her: "What are you afraid of? Although the dowry that Zhu Wan brought back then seemed to be a lot, most of it was some useless porcelain and rough cloth that took up space. That little beast has been naughty since he was a child, and Zhu Wan pampered her The porcelain is changed every day, and I don’t know how much it is broken. The coarse cloth has been rotten for so many years. He said that the Hou Mansion took advantage of him, so I specially converted it into silver for him. After this calculation, Naturally, there are fewer boxes and cages, but these boxes and cages are full of real things, which are many times better than those made of rotten porcelain and coarse cloth."
What Le Shi said was neither blushing nor out of breath, as if it was true.
Even if this was her own aunt or mother-in-law, Jiang felt that what the other party said was shameless.
In order to reassure Jiang Shi, Le Shi told his confidant woman beside him: "Go to that camphor wood box and take out that brown peach wood flat box with longevity pattern."
The mother-in-law went, and came back empty-handed, with a stiff and apprehensive expression: "Madam, that box is gone."
As Le Shi's confidant, the old woman naturally knew that the camphor wood box contained extremely valuable things, especially the peach wood flat box, which was where the old lady put the banknotes, and now it's gone!
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she couldn't speak fluently.
Le Shi couldn't sit still now, and went into the inner room to look through it himself - everything in the box was there, except for the flat box containing the bank notes and the dowry slip.
Those bank notes were all the money she had saved over the years, a total of 2000 taels, and they were all gone!And that dowry list...
Leshi's whole body is not well, his eyes turn black and he feels dizzy.
Mrs. Jiang quickly supported her, and said urgently, "Mom, what's in that box?"
Don't be what she thinks, right?
If the dowry list is really lost, and it is in Qiao Anzhu's hands, according to that white-eyed wolf, he must not reveal the contents of the dowry list in public?
Some of the rare and famous paintings on the dowry list were all given to her boss by her father!
Thinking of the consequences after the incident was exposed, Jiang also felt dizzy.
Leshi regained his strength, distressed and annoyed: "My banknotes, there are more than 5 taels of banknotes in them, and I planned to leave them for Brother Fu! Which thief stole them? Let me know, he must be skinned!"
While talking, she looked at the mother-in-law with sharp eyes: "You are in charge of Songhetang's affairs, what you said, what's going on?!"
The old woman's legs softened and she knelt down, crying in her voice: "Your servant is wronged, I don't know what's going on, Songhetang has always been inseparable from others, this box has never been touched by your servant without your order, old lady."
Jiang asked anxiously: "The dowry list?"
Le Shi gritted his teeth: "It's inside too!"
Jiang's heart was raised in an instant, and she hurried outside to ask the maid who reported the letter: "The housekeeper asked you to report the letter, what else did you say?"
The servant girl thought for a while, then shook her head: "That's all, that's all."
"The butler didn't say, how did that little bastard prove that the dowry was wrong?"
The servant girl shook her head again: "I didn't mention it."
Leshi also reacted: "You mean, that little bastard took the box?"
Mrs. Jiang: "My daughter-in-law is not sure either. But who else in the whole Marquis Mansion has the guts except him? Now he has gone to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint. Mother, you also said that this little bastard has deep plans and is not sure. Will you dare to go to Jingzhao Mansion to make troubles?"
Le Shi also reacted, and scolded angrily: "This disobedient and unfilial bastard! I am his own grandmother, and I am not allowed to buy private property if there is no separation. Even if Jing Zhaoyin came in person, I wouldn't be afraid!"
Fearful and anxious, Mrs. Jiang reminded: "It's not anymore. That little bastard asked Lord Hou to write the divorce papers, and I only wrote it at noon today!"
With this paper divorce document, the little beast is full of confidence in asking for the dowry, and no one can tell that he is not good.
——As Zhu Wan's only son, Zhu Wan's dowry was originally his.I have never heard of people being driven away and only the dowry left.Such behavior is contemptible even if it is placed in a poor and shabby household, let alone a majestic mansion.
Jiang could almost imagine how people in the capital would laugh at the Hou Mansion after today.
In particular, her step-wife's father actually used the dowry of his original wife to give gifts... His conduct is even worse!Even if other people don't know it, those officials who received the gift will know it.
When this incident breaks out, why shouldn't her family blame her to death?
The more I think about it, the more bleak the future becomes.
Jiang gritted her teeth: "No, you can't let him make such a fuss. Our Hou Mansion can't afford to lose this man! Auntie, think about what's on the dowry list. Let's make it up quickly while we have time. Just replace it with a gift of the same value, and say to the outside world that the servants were careless and carried the box wrong, so at least describe this incident in the past, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion can't be bad!"
Le Shi didn't bother to scold, and said anxiously: "There are so many things, and it's been so many years, they've been used for a long time, I don't remember where they are!"
She also understood now that what the little bastard said to make his servant behave better was just a pretense, and the reason why he made such a fuss this morning was in the final analysis to sever the relationship and ask for a dowry.
It was she who was negligent, and was confused by the first condition that the little bastard put forward, thinking that since he was going to live until he got married, and watched under her nose, she would not be able to make too much trouble.
They were all played by that little beast!
Leshi's liver hurts.
Mrs. Jiang didn't care about her at the moment, and made a decisive decision: "Then pick out all the things you remember first, and take the rest from the public, and make up for the ones you pick. In short, you can make up enough for 88, only a little more. OK!"
If the matter hadn't reached the Jingzhao Mansion, she would still have a way to turn the matter around and make Qiao Anzhu suffer—as the old lady said, after so many years, it is normal for the dowry to wear and tear, just those rare copies of famous paintings. It was also because the servants were not good at keeping it, and it was damaged by moths and water, so it would be fine to just push it to Zhu Wan's dowry.Anyway, those people died scattered, and the little beast was young back then, so I can't tell.
But when the matter got into trouble in Jingzhao Mansion, they couldn't do this anymore. The longer the matter went on, the more embarrassing the Hou Mansion and her natal family would be.Everyone is not a fool, and it is okay to say something to the inside, but it is ridiculous to say it to the outside.
Le Shi also knew that the sooner the matter would be resolved, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Money is something outside the body, the reputation of the Hou Mansion must not be damaged!
It was said that it was from the public office, and the public office could not produce so many things for a while. In the end, it was Jiang and Le who took part from their respective dowries to make up for it, and it was considered enough.
After confirming that there is really a dowry list in Zhuxi's hand, the Hou Mansion immediately sent out the prepared dowry.
Le Shi fell ill immediately, and there was no evidence to prove that Qiao Anzhu took those bank notes, so she had no way to get the money back.Losing the money and getting her own dowry... Le Shi wanted to die.
Naturally she wouldn't die, and she began to call the servants of Songhetang while she was lying on the bed, vowing to find out the spy who stole the flat box and gave it to blessings.
作者有话要说:感谢在2020-06-0423:28:45~2020-06-0523:36:55期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: 10 bottles of Mingming;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Zhu Zi glanced over and waved: "Chrysanthemum, come here, the rest of the people should do whatever they want, don't stand in front of the master."
The maid named Chrysanthemum followed Zhu Zi into the room with dull eyes, took out the flat box from her bosom, and handed it to Zhu Zi with both hands.
After receiving the box, I prayed and waved: "Okay, let's go out, let the kitchen send some hot water, and I will take a shower later."
Chrysanthemum responded and went out the door, her expression was in a trance, and her eyes became clear.
Lan Hua, who has a good relationship with her, quietly dragged her aside: "What does Eldest Young Master want you for?"
Chrysanthemum lowered her mouth: "What can I do? I'm looking for something to do. I want to take a bath. Let me go to the kitchen to get hot water. It's a daytime bath, tsk~"
Shaking his head, he was very disdainful.
As expected of someone who grew up on Zhuangzi, if he gets a little more powerful, he will be insanely insane.
Lan Hua frowned: "He burned the kitchen, where can I get hot water? Isn't this deliberately making things difficult?"
"Why don't you say he's just looking for trouble? That's fine, I won't tell you anymore. I have to go quickly before it's too late. He's looking for me by the hair."
No matter how disdainful, he is also the master, Mrs. Hou Ye can only suffer in front of him, and now she doesn't have the courage to neglect him in the open.

I prayed with a "huh", "Let's put it here first, and these boys stay here and don't move. I will put the dowry in the warehouse later, and I have to work for them to help carry it."

She thought that what her aunt said to send Qiao Anzhu away, at least she had to put on a show, at least the top of the cage was not bad, but she didn't expect her aunt to be so unreliable and only willing to go out of the way.
At this moment, Jiang Shu couldn't help complaining to Leshi in her heart, she was really confused, and she couldn't do things out of her head.
Le Shi cast a sideways glance at her: "What are you afraid of? Although the dowry that Zhu Wan brought back then seemed to be a lot, most of it was some useless porcelain and rough cloth that took up space. That little beast has been naughty since he was a child, and Zhu Wan pampered her The porcelain is changed every day, and I don’t know how much it is broken. The coarse cloth has been rotten for so many years. He said that the Hou Mansion took advantage of him, so I specially converted it into silver for him. After this calculation, Naturally, there are fewer boxes and cages, but these boxes and cages are full of real things, which are many times better than those made of rotten porcelain and coarse cloth."
What Le Shi said was neither blushing nor out of breath, as if it was true.
Even if this was her own aunt or mother-in-law, Jiang felt that what the other party said was shameless.
In order to reassure Jiang Shi, Le Shi told his confidant woman beside him: "Go to that camphor wood box and take out that brown peach wood flat box with longevity pattern."
The mother-in-law went, and came back empty-handed, with a stiff and apprehensive expression: "Madam, that box is gone."
As Le Shi's confidant, the old woman naturally knew that the camphor wood box contained extremely valuable things, especially the peach wood flat box, which was where the old lady put the banknotes, and now it's gone!
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she couldn't speak fluently.
Le Shi couldn't sit still now, and went into the inner room to look through it himself - everything in the box was there, except for the flat box containing the bank notes and the dowry slip.
Those bank notes were all the money she had saved over the years, a total of 2000 taels, and they were all gone!And that dowry list...
Leshi's whole body is not well, his eyes turn black and he feels dizzy.
Mrs. Jiang quickly supported her, and said urgently, "Mom, what's in that box?"
Don't be what she thinks, right?
If the dowry list is really lost, and it is in Qiao Anzhu's hands, according to that white-eyed wolf, he must not reveal the contents of the dowry list in public?
Some of the rare and famous paintings on the dowry list were all given to her boss by her father!
Thinking of the consequences after the incident was exposed, Jiang also felt dizzy.
Leshi regained his strength, distressed and annoyed: "My banknotes, there are more than 5 taels of banknotes in them, and I planned to leave them for Brother Fu! Which thief stole them? Let me know, he must be skinned!"
While talking, she looked at the mother-in-law with sharp eyes: "You are in charge of Songhetang's affairs, what you said, what's going on?!"
The old woman's legs softened and she knelt down, crying in her voice: "Your servant is wronged, I don't know what's going on, Songhetang has always been inseparable from others, this box has never been touched by your servant without your order, old lady."
Jiang asked anxiously: "The dowry list?"
Le Shi gritted his teeth: "It's inside too!"
Jiang's heart was raised in an instant, and she hurried outside to ask the maid who reported the letter: "The housekeeper asked you to report the letter, what else did you say?"
The servant girl thought for a while, then shook her head: "That's all, that's all."
"The butler didn't say, how did that little bastard prove that the dowry was wrong?"
The servant girl shook her head again: "I didn't mention it."
Leshi also reacted: "You mean, that little bastard took the box?"
Mrs. Jiang: "My daughter-in-law is not sure either. But who else in the whole Marquis Mansion has the guts except him? Now he has gone to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint. Mother, you also said that this little bastard has deep plans and is not sure. Will you dare to go to Jingzhao Mansion to make troubles?"
Le Shi also reacted, and scolded angrily: "This disobedient and unfilial bastard! I am his own grandmother, and I am not allowed to buy private property if there is no separation. Even if Jing Zhaoyin came in person, I wouldn't be afraid!"
Fearful and anxious, Mrs. Jiang reminded: "It's not anymore. That little bastard asked Lord Hou to write the divorce papers, and I only wrote it at noon today!"
With this paper divorce document, the little beast is full of confidence in asking for the dowry, and no one can tell that he is not good.
——As Zhu Wan's only son, Zhu Wan's dowry was originally his.I have never heard of people being driven away and only the dowry left.Such behavior is contemptible even if it is placed in a poor and shabby household, let alone a majestic mansion.
Jiang could almost imagine how people in the capital would laugh at the Hou Mansion after today.
In particular, her step-wife's father actually used the dowry of his original wife to give gifts... His conduct is even worse!Even if other people don't know it, those officials who received the gift will know it.
When this incident breaks out, why shouldn't her family blame her to death?
The more I think about it, the more bleak the future becomes.
Jiang gritted her teeth: "No, you can't let him make such a fuss. Our Hou Mansion can't afford to lose this man! Auntie, think about what's on the dowry list. Let's make it up quickly while we have time. Just replace it with a gift of the same value, and say to the outside world that the servants were careless and carried the box wrong, so at least describe this incident in the past, and the reputation of the Hou Mansion can't be bad!"
Le Shi didn't bother to scold, and said anxiously: "There are so many things, and it's been so many years, they've been used for a long time, I don't remember where they are!"
She also understood now that what the little bastard said to make his servant behave better was just a pretense, and the reason why he made such a fuss this morning was in the final analysis to sever the relationship and ask for a dowry.
It was she who was negligent, and was confused by the first condition that the little bastard put forward, thinking that since he was going to live until he got married, and watched under her nose, she would not be able to make too much trouble.
They were all played by that little beast!
Leshi's liver hurts.
Mrs. Jiang didn't care about her at the moment, and made a decisive decision: "Then pick out all the things you remember first, and take the rest from the public, and make up for the ones you pick. In short, you can make up enough for 88, only a little more. OK!"
If the matter hadn't reached the Jingzhao Mansion, she would still have a way to turn the matter around and make Qiao Anzhu suffer—as the old lady said, after so many years, it is normal for the dowry to wear and tear, just those rare copies of famous paintings. It was also because the servants were not good at keeping it, and it was damaged by moths and water, so it would be fine to just push it to Zhu Wan's dowry.Anyway, those people died scattered, and the little beast was young back then, so I can't tell.
But when the matter got into trouble in Jingzhao Mansion, they couldn't do this anymore. The longer the matter went on, the more embarrassing the Hou Mansion and her natal family would be.Everyone is not a fool, and it is okay to say something to the inside, but it is ridiculous to say it to the outside.
Le Shi also knew that the sooner the matter would be resolved, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Money is something outside the body, the reputation of the Hou Mansion must not be damaged!
It was said that it was from the public office, and the public office could not produce so many things for a while. In the end, it was Jiang and Le who took part from their respective dowries to make up for it, and it was considered enough.
After confirming that there is really a dowry list in Zhuxi's hand, the Hou Mansion immediately sent out the prepared dowry.
Le Shi fell ill immediately, and there was no evidence to prove that Qiao Anzhu took those bank notes, so she had no way to get the money back.Losing the money and getting her own dowry... Le Shi wanted to die.
Naturally she wouldn't die, and she began to call the servants of Songhetang while she was lying on the bed, vowing to find out the spy who stole the flat box and gave it to blessings.
