A prostitute of rebirth

Chapter 231 Dowry, bride price (2)
"It's ridiculous. There are so many identical things in this world. Why are you only allowed to bring your mother into the house as a dowry, but not me? What's more, my mother's family is not poor, and the things that have been given to me for so many years are not good. Less, why do you say that half of the dowry I prepared for Xueer belonged to your mother."

Murong smiled and stared at her for a long while, took a deep breath, slightly raised the corners of her lips, and there was a faint smile on her face, she knew earlier that she was not easy to please, it didn't matter, they grind slowly.

"Liu Yiniang's words are very reasonable. It seems that I have to ask my grandmother. Dad married a wife and took a concubine. Whenever there is a dowry brought over, the list is placed with the grandmother and the total is recorded on the account book. Not long ago, the grandmother I returned the mother's dowry list to her, but after a couple, I found that it was so much missing, and it was Liu Yiniang who was in charge of the house before, where did these missing things go?"

"Your mother has been in charge of the family for three years, why don't you say whether she has tampered with it during these three years? Even if you tell the old lady, the old lady may not believe you." Although Mo's voice was loud, he said She was very unconfident, and began to panic in her heart. As long as this matter is carefully investigated, it will definitely be tricky. Who knew that Murong Xiaoxiao was suddenly given a marriage. She thought Xue'er would always marry first, and if Xue'er married Well, even if the old lady knows, she can just say a few words at most, and she won't make things difficult.And if she is still the mistress, she will arrange Murong Xiaoxiao's marriage and dowry. If she is more careful, no one will find out. So sharp-tongued.

Murong Xiaoxiao's dark eyes deepened and rippled: "It seems that Liu Yiniang is not going to hand it over, forget it, I can't help but force it, Liu Yiniang's family is only a fifth-rank censor. To be able to add so much gold, silver and jewels to Liu Yiniang, there must be several times more in the house than here. It seems that the character and style of Lord Yushi are really questionable. The emperor hates corrupt people the most. This matter needs to be reported to the emperor."

Mo's face turned pale suddenly, and she stared at Murong with a terrified smile. She just said it casually, how can there be so much gold and silver in her natal family, but Murong Xiaoxiao guessed one thing correctly, that is her father's true love. There is corruption.

Although the censor is only of the fifth grade, he is also an official, so how can there be no people who cater to and flatter horses.

Murong smiled and looked at Mo's terrified expression, she couldn't help but feel happy, she looked at Mo's face with great interest, and said with a coquettish smile: "Liu Yiniang, I won't stay any longer, I will leave."

As she spoke, she put away the list, turned and left Meiyuan.

"Miss, should we tell the old lady? Or ask the general to give the emperor an excerpt, and please refer to Mr. Yushi." On the way back, Linglong asked.

Murong smiled slightly and pursed his lips, and said calmly: "You don't need to tell grandma. After all, we don't have direct evidence. Even if grandma believes it, she will be dissatisfied with me. Maybe in her opinion, I went straight to Meiyuan Mo's behavior in asking for a dowry is very inappropriate. As for the dowry, I don't want it for the time being. How can I say that Murong Yingxue will soon be a member of the royal family? Even if the emperor finds out something, he will not embarrass Yushi. Now, I believe what I said just now has already made Mrs. Mo flustered. You only need to publicize this matter in the house. If there are rumors, grandma will become suspicious. It is better for her to investigate on her own initiative than for me to tell her in front of her. this matter."

Linglong's eyes lit up suddenly, as if a star had fallen into it, the light flickered, and she responded repeatedly: "Yes, Miss, I understand."

Back at the Xiaoyin Pavilion, Linglong asked Xin'er and the others to make up their minds, and spread the word in the mansion that the sixth aunt had embezzled the original dowry of the mistress to add to the eldest lady's dowry. There was an uproar in the mansion, and Mo Shi was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard it.

This damned Murong Xiaoxiao actually gave her the wrong, instead of telling the old lady directly, instead she spread rumors in the mansion first, then not only can the old lady investigate, but also keep her out of the matter.

This matter quickly spread to Furongtang, and the old lady was furious, needless to say, and ordered Mother Qiao to investigate the matter first, because the old lady spoke, and Manager Xiao worked hard with Mother Qiao to clear up the past. The account books when Shi was in charge of the family checked clearly, and it also confirmed that Mo Shi secretly stole the dowry of forsythia, the old lady was so angry that she went to Mei Yuan to question Mo Shi.

The old lady ordered someone to compare the dowry lists of the two, and took all the part stolen by Mo Shi out of the Meiyuan, and even handed over the matter of Murong Yingxue's marriage to Lian Qiao. It was arranged by the mistress, if it wasn't for the fact that Xue'er married into the royal family, she didn't want Xue'er to be sad, so she let Mo's take care of it, who would have known that she would do such embarrassing things for herself.

She once again imprisoned the Mo family in Mei Yuan until Murong Yingxue got married.

Lian Qiao thanked the old lady, took her own things back to Lan Yuan, picked the best ones for Murong Xiaoxiao as a dowry, gold, silver, jewellery, jadeite, jewelry items, packed in boxes, and there were actually eighteen boxes .

The old lady prepared ten boxes for Murong Xiaoxiao as her dowry, Linglong said: "The old lady treats you very well, the dowry is more than three times that of the young lady."

Murong smiled disapprovingly and said, "You know what kind of dowry grandma gave elder sister, even though Murong Yingxue only has three boxes, the value of those three boxes is far more precious than our ten boxes. "

So sometimes you can't just look at the quantity, you have to look at the quality inside. The old lady has always loved Murong Yingxue very much, but because she is married into the royal family as a concubine, if the dowry is too generous, it will inevitably give the emperor a kind of Murong The feeling of being wronged by the daughter of the mansion as a concubine, that is the royal family, how can ordinary people compare with it, after all, Murong Yingxue's concubine still flatters her, not to mention that Murong Yingxue is only a concubine, the old lady can't It's too ostentatious, otherwise it's inevitable that people will talk about it, so there are only three boxes of dowries, but all of them are good things from the mansion.

Afterwards, Liancheng sent six boxes of gold and silver to Murong Xiaoxiao as her dowry for her wedding. Not long after, the queen's order came from the palace, giving twelve boxes of gold and silver jewelry as Murong Xiaoxiao's dowry. At that time, the long line of horse-drawn carriages stunned the common people, and they all secretly sighed the good fortune of Princess Chenghuan.
