Chapter 23 Grandma’s Dowry!
Xu Fuxin recalled the glance she had with the prince, and the heat on her cheeks became more and more obvious.

Seeing this, Chun Cui hurriedly fanned her gently.

"Miss, you are very beautiful. It is normal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be attracted to you."

"It's a pity. There are so many people in the princess's mansion, and you couldn't even talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chuncui's flattery made Xu Fuxin feel even more proud.

She couldn't speak to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but in front of the Princess, she could exchange glances with Him, and that was enough.

"Miss, your coming-of-age day will be in a few days. Do you think the princess will come?"

"If she can come, things will go more smoothly for you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Chun Cui sincerely wanted Xu Fuxin to marry into the Eastern Palace.

If Xu Fuxin entered the Eastern Palace, she would definitely become a dowry maid.

And the maidservant who comes with the Crown Princess as a dowry might be taken as a concubine by the Crown Prince.

When the prince ascends the throne in the future, she might be able to get a position!

Thinking of the dignity she would have in the future, Chuncui began to care more about Xu Fuxin.

She gave Xu Fuxin some advice and asked her to visit the Princess's Mansion more often in the future.

The master and servant talked all the way in the sedan chair.

After the carriage stopped, Xu Fuxin drank a cup of tea before getting out of the sedan chair.

After she got out of the sedan chair, Xu Yao came over holding Ling Suisui.

Ling Suisui's little face was rosy from sleeping.

Her head was resting on Xu Yao's neck, and the noise of getting out of the sedan did not wake her up.

"It's getting cold, you can buy more clothes for Sui Sui."

Xu Fuxin looked at the sleeping baby and suddenly said.

Her unprecedented concern made Xu Yao stunned for a moment.

After a while.

Xu Yao reacted and nodded quickly.

The two of them walked into the mansion one after the other.

After Xu Fuxin came back, she didn't rush to find Mrs. Xu.

She tried to please the princess today and even showed her affection to the crown prince...

If Mrs. Xu knew about this, she would probably be punished!

Everyone in the mansion knows that Madam Xu values ​​Xu Yan'an very much!
Xu Yan'an doesn't get along with the prince.

Naturally, Madam Xu also disliked the prince.

Xu Fuxin didn't dare to face Madam Xu at this time. After thinking about it, she decided to secretly go to see her aunt.

She had to ask her aunt to think of a solution for her.

Next, how can she and the prince deepen their relationship?

Xu Fuxin didn't go to see Mrs. Xu herself, and didn't want Xu Yao to go either.

Xu Yao held Ling Suisui in his arms and said with embarrassment: "I want to send Suisui over."

Xu Fuxin: "..."

Xu Fuxin: "After you send Sui Sui off, leave quickly and don't get in the way of your mother!"

Xu Fuxin still dislikes Ling Suisui.

But there was no way, the eldest princess obviously liked Ling Suisui very much.

For the sake of the eldest princess and the crown prince, she had to temporarily give Ling Suisui some face.

Xu Yao lowered his eyes and listened quietly to Xu Fuxin's reminder.

Xu Fuxin always said that her mother hated her.

But Xu Yao could feel that the facts were the opposite of what Xu Fuxin said.

Mother doesn't hate herself.

"Alright, hurry up and leave. Stop hanging around me. It makes me upset."

After saying this, Xu Fuxin turned and left.

Xu Yao stood there for two seconds, then carried Ling Suisui to Madam Xu's yard.

When she passed by, Mrs. Xu was flipping through a booklet.

In front of Mrs. Xu, there were two old maids.

The old nanny is the old lady's person in the mansion.

At this moment, the old nanny was scolding Mrs. Xu with a bad face on behalf of the old lady.

"Madam, you haven't distributed the monthly salary to the family yet, and you even stopped paying for the old lady!"

"The old lady is not in good health. She has to take medicine from Shouchun Pharmacy every day."

"You don't pay the pharmacy, and now the pharmacy has stopped selling the old lady's medicine."

"If anything happens to the old lady, can you afford it?!"

The old nanny questioned her harshly, her words like a sharp sword, hitting Madam Xu. Madam Xu listened to the old nanny's questioning, her face was calm and her tone was neither hurried nor slow.

"Mammy, don't worry, sit down and have a cup of tea."

"All the expenses of this mansion will soon be settled."

Mrs. Xu said a few perfunctory words to the old nanny, then she waved her hand and called Xu Yao, who was standing not far away, over.

As soon as Xu Yao arrived, Mrs. Xu took Ling Suisui from her arms.

Mrs. Xu missed this soft little ball of milk after not seeing it for just one day.

"How was your day outside today?"

Madam Xu asked softly, "Has Sui Sui had dinner yet?"

"I used it in the Princess's Palace."

Xu Yao had nothing to hide from Mrs. Xu.

She lowered her voice and told Mrs. Xu everything that happened today.

Mrs. Xu's eyes darkened.

However, she didn't mean to blame Xu Yao.

"I see."

Mrs. Xu had no intention of continuing the in-depth conversation with Xu Yao.

She has more important things to do now.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, several servants came into the yard with Aunt Meng tied up.

Aunt Meng was dragged around, not only were her clothes loose, but even her hair was messy.

Her usually charming face was now full of panic.

"Ma'am, what do you want to do?!"

"What are you going to do to me!"

The kidnapped Aunt Meng didn't know what Madam Xu was going to do.

She kept struggling and even brought up Minister Xu to intimidate Madam Xu.

"If the master knew that you bullied me for no reason, he would be furious!"

Aunt Meng's struggle was too noisy.

Mrs. Xu frowned and handed Ling Suisui to Xu Yao.

"Yaoyao, put Suisui in the room to sleep."

Mrs. Xu sent Ling Suisui away, then she supported herself on the table and stood up slowly.

She walked closer to Aunt Meng step by step.

Aunt Meng instinctively sensed danger and she shrank back, trying to retreat.

But she was tied up with ropes and had no way to retreat.

"Madam! Aunt Meng did nothing wrong. You took your anger out on her for no reason. If the master and the old lady knew about this, have you considered the consequences?"

The old nanny was very strict with Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu has always been filial. She is filial to the old lady and is also very nice to people around her.

That's why the old lady's attitude is so domineering.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong she is, it’s useless now.

In front of her, Madam Xu raised her hand and slapped Aunt Meng's seductive face hard.

"Snapped--"

The sound of a crisp slap echoed throughout the yard, and Aunt Meng's cheeks swelled up instantly.

When Xu Shangshu, who was hurriedly called over by Xu Fuxin to help, saw this scene, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Stop! Murong Han, are you crazy?!"

Minister Xu strode over and stood in front of Aunt Meng.

He was about to scold Mrs. Xu when he saw Mrs. Xu slamming a stack of papers onto his chest.

"My dear husband, please take a good look. These are all private properties under the name of Aunt Meng!"

"Over the years, the Shangshu Mansion has been unable to make ends meet, and it has been entirely supported by my dowry."

"And she has accumulated so much private property without telling us. Tell me, should I punish her?!"

Mrs. Xu's cold questioning stunned the furious Minister Xu for a moment.

Madam Xu looked at Minister Xu, whose expression changed. She suddenly smiled and asked, "My husband, do you know about Aunt Meng's private property?"

Minister Xu: “…”

Xu Shangshu's face froze, and he didn't dare to say that he knew.

If he replied that he knew about it, it would mean he admitted that he was transferring the assets of the Shangshu Mansion!
If this kind of thing gets out, he'll be finished!

 Sui Sui: Wake up and eat melon immediately!
