spring boudoir secret

"Mother..." Zhao Minglian still wanted to struggle.

"Give it all to her."

Madam Fang smashed the vase with Wenzhi in her hand angrily, "Give it back to her if she wants it!"

Housekeeper Ma sighed as he looked at the fragments on the ground, but he still took people to retrieve the belongings from Haitang Court despite Fang's pressure.

Zhao Minglian held Fang's hand distressedly, "Mother, no, my daughter likes these things so much..."

The brothers and sisters in the house have all reached the age of getting married. Even though the Duke's house has some property, it cannot be squandered.

Over the years, the Fang family has become more powerful, and even Zhao Minglian has followed Jiaogui. They have been used to it for so many years, but now they are told that Zhao Ming wants to come and take it away.

Who would have thought that a person who had been married and divorced would come back to fight with them.

Butler Ma stepped forward and said with an uneasy smile, "Fourth Miss, the gold-wired beaded flower on your head is also the key to Miss Third's roll call..."

Without waiting for Zhao Minglian to speak, Fang took out the pearl flowers and threw them into Butler Ma's arms, "Take them all!"

"Leave no one behind."

Butler Ma nodded repeatedly and retreated, holding back a cold sweat.

Mrs. Fang watched helplessly as Butler Ma took the things away, her face turned livid, "Damn girl, I haven't even gone to trouble her yet, but she provoked me again and again."

"Mother, why are you like this? Why should Zhao Ming give it to you if he wants it? We have been using these things for so many years, and it's all ours."

Zhao Minglian cried, "I like the beaded flower hairpin the most. My friends in the boudoir praise me for how beautiful I wear it. How will I answer if they ask me in the future."

"Why are you crying? Isn't that embarrassing enough?"

"If you don't go out, you will give that damn girl a reason to tell her to complain in front of your father!"

"But..." Zhao Minglian cried and snarled, "But this is so unfair."

"She is the one who divorced. Her father should have severely reprimanded her, but his father took her back from outside. What method did she use to coax her father to value him so much."

"My father doesn't care about me anymore."

Fang calmed down and said, "I'll be back when I'm back."

"We were beyond our reach when we were in Anyuanhou's Mansion. She came back to seek death on her own."

Before the mother and daughter could finish their angry words, housekeeper Ma, who was carrying things, came in again holding a handful of cold sweats, "Old madam, the third lady also said..."

"She also said that she wants the land deed, ledger and key of the real estate shop. In addition, she wants you to return the two Mao Wenzhi porcelain vases you accidentally broke to her at a discount..."

Fang's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

"It's so dangerous, little boy. The old lady must be in a bad mood these days. We must be careful not to get into trouble when we are on duty."

When Butler Ma went out again, he took a heavy breath. He was the steward promoted by Fang Family and was loyal to Fang Family.

But Zhao Mingruo used Changning Gong to force him to go to Fang to ask for something. Even if Fang didn't hate him, she would still feel resentful towards him. Every time she saw him, she would think of how Zhao Mingruo made her angry!

Can you not be angry!

How can I value it in the future?

"This third lady has completely changed her temperament after getting married. She is much calmer and more capable than before she got married. With just a few words, she made the old lady unable to step down and had to give in. We should also be careful about the third lady in the future."

Butler Ma couldn't express his pain, he just felt that he was wronged.

When he learned that the third lady would come back to the Changning Palace, Butler Ma had thought about how the old lady would handle the dowry. He thought that the third lady would use other means to save face, but she was so straightforward.

The Duke of Guo secretly favors the old lady, but he will not ignore the issue of face. Compared with trying to find a solution in private, it has to be said that it is much easier to be direct.

Is this the same third lady that she used to be, always confronting the Duke, always willing to take the soft side but not the strong side?

The boy looked enlightened and said, "Daddy, I understand." "Go and give the account books, keys, and land deeds to the third lady."

He stopped going, but he couldn't ask the old lady for anything anymore.

-

Zhao Mingruo slept until sunset and didn't wake up until dusk.

Ah Fu came excitedly and said, "Miss, you are awake. I will help you prepare dinner."

"it is good."

As the month progressed, Zhao Mingruo no longer suffered from morning sickness and his appetite improved a lot. He ate many meals during the day and often had snacks at night.

"That slave will help you get up." Lu Wei was also very happy.

"what happened?"

"Go back to Miss Ma. Butler Ma has already sent back all the things you asked for. It's quite a lot. I just did a rough calculation with Sister Afu. The dowry adds up to a million taels."

In the past, I only knew that their ladies were wealthy, but I didn't expect that they would be so rich, with millions of taels, and they would have no worries in this life.

"But miss, you took part of these dowry lists to the Anyuan Hou Mansion, and the other part was spent by Fang and her children. The remaining hundreds of thousands of taels are mostly used for land and shops. Farms, rare treasures, etc., not much real money left.”

Lu Wei said angrily, "Fang only returned the land deed account book, but the rental profits over the years have not been seen at all. She also deliberately broke two of your vases!"

She had never seen such a shameless person!

"It doesn't matter. It's good to have these back. Let me take a look at the ledger. I'll check the accounts after dinner."

Zhao Mingruo sat at the mahogany round table, Ah Fu served the food for her, and Mrs. Wei's figure appeared in Haitang Courtyard again.

Only this time, there were two little people beside her, one big and one small.

Mrs. Wei walked forward with a smile on her face, leading Sister Xuan in one hand and holding An Geer in the other. There were several maids behind her, all carrying red lacquered and carved food boxes. The aroma of the food could be smelled from a distance.

"Second sister-in-law, you are here."

Zhao Mingruo stood up to greet them and looked at Brother and Sister happily, "This is Sister Xuan and Brother An, they are both so old."

Sister Xuan wore a hairpin in a bun with lifelike butterflies on the top. Her pink and white face was flushed, and her big dark eyes stared at Zhao Mingruo carefully.

Brother An was young and had just learned to speak, but he still couldn't speak completely. He just pointed at Zhao Mingruo and smiled sweetly, "Gu Gu, Gu Gu..."

You could vaguely tell that he was calling aunt.

Zhao Mingruo reached out and took An Ge'er into his arms, carefully caring for her. Her heart almost melted at the squishy little dumpling.

This is her second brother's bloodline, and he is also the person closest to her in the world besides the child in her belly.

"An'er is good, it's aunt, aunt."

"Sister Xuan, come here too."

Zhao Mingruo also did not neglect her sister. In her heart, whether she was a brother or a sister, they were still treasures and would be valued equally.

Mrs. Wei also signaled, "This is your third aunt, Sister Xuan. My aunt is calling you."

"aunt."

Sister Xuan spoke obediently, and her voice was so sweet that it touched Zhao Mingruo's heart.
