Chapter 22
Mrs. Zhu came in a hurry, panting slightly.A pair of sharp, almost mean eyes looked at Xie Qiao: "What are you doing?"

The eldest lady regained her composure, and said first, "Mother, it's not a big deal. Yan'er lost her jewellery, and Ronghua picked it up. There are many misunderstandings in this, and I'm afraid she has been wronged, which will alarm you." , let you make the decision.” Obscure eyes glanced at Xie Qiao lightly, implying a warning: “Ronghua, it’s your mother who misunderstood you. Your grandmother is old and in poor health. I apologize to you, and this matter is over. Let it go!"

Xie Qiao kept staring at the Da Furen's hand, rubbing it back and forth on her leg, showing that she was extremely disturbed.

"Since you say that, I, as a junior, have no choice but to be relentless."

As soon as the lady's tense nerves relaxed, she heard Xie Qiao continue: "Please also give me my birth mother's golden steps, and this matter will be over."

"Jin Buyao?" Mrs. Zhu looked at the eldest lady.

Because of the nervousness in her heart, the eldest lady had fine cold sweat oozing from her forehead.

"That's the golden step that I gave to Lan'er, it's indeed Li's dowry back then." Rong Que rescued the eldest lady at the right time, and said to Xie Qiao displeasedly: "Even if you know it's your elder, why bother to be aggressive?"

Xie Qiao sneered: "You and Da Furen really are husband and wife. When my mother was still alive, she took my mother's dowry to make the outside room happy, and all the children were born outside. I don’t know how much dowry I gave you to subsidize my stepmother!”

Da Furen and Rong Que were exposed in public, which was extremely embarrassing.

Although the eldest lady got her wish and married into the Fuguo Duke's mansion, what happened back then was her stain after all.

Rong Que became angry with embarrassment, his eyes were cold and cold: "Lan'er is my wife, if it weren't for your mother, she would be my original wife! And you are the stain of my life, if it wasn't for your mother's despicable seduction, how could there be such an evil as you?" As for the dowry, she begged me to accept it, even if it was all given to Lan'er, how could it be your turn to comment?"

After hearing Rong Que's last words, the eldest lady thought to herself: Oops!

Mrs. Zhu glanced at her coldly: "Are you really subsidizing Mrs. Wei with Mrs. Li's dowry?"

Wei's miserable, how can she get Li's dowry?It was just a few pieces of jewelry, and he hurriedly said: "Old lady..." Rong Que interrupted before finishing speaking: "Since she is married to me, I am not qualified to handle her dowry yet?"

Rong Que couldn't get off the tiger, so he had to admit it.

Zhu's smile was a little weird, Wei Shi looked at Zhu's smile, felt like being pricked by a needle, and felt restless.Rong Que had already spoken to death, and no one would believe her explanation.

In Zhu's eyes, he has become a guilty conscience. Don't be surprised that when counting the dowry back then, a few sheets were missing, and it turned out that Wei's coaxed them to go!
Now that Rong Que regards Li's dowry as his own private property, it is only natural that Zhu's suppressed thoughts can't help popping up again.

Did Rong Yan choose Furong Residence intentionally or unintentionally?
Mrs. Zhu suppressed her anger, looked at Xie Qiao with flickering eyes, and thought about it: "You say that, it's not appropriate for me to take care of Mrs. Li's dowry. I had no choice but to take over, so I can wait for you When the children grow up, take them out for marriage. Now that Li’s daughter-in-law comes back, the dowry has to be returned to the original owner.” Turning to Xie Qiao, he said, “I’ll have someone copy your mother’s dowry list for you. Take it. When you first entered the mansion, it might not be appropriate for you to be in charge of this huge dowry, so you locked the dowry in the storeroom of Fu Shou Tang, and you will keep the key yourself!"

Xie Qiao sneered in his heart, Zhu Shi was afraid of being offended by Rong Que's words, and also angry that Wei Shi lied to her.I'm afraid to suspect that Wei Shi has been obsequious in front of her all these years, and he doesn't care about the dowry at all, but secretly instigated Rong Que.

Now that Huatou has been made clear, Zhu Shi is not willing to be the one who is being calculated.So give her the dowry and make her a target of public criticism.

Although it was given to her on the surface, as long as the dowry is given to Fu Shou Tang, it will be under the control of Mrs. Zhu!

Just let her be a shield!
Xie Qiao raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhu in amazement, as if he didn't believe that the dowry was really given to her: "It's all up to the old lady to decide!"

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zhu's eyes flashed with contempt.Holding a cup of hot tea, she took a sip and said, "The dowry is now stored in Furongju. Wei Shi, you are her stepmother now, and you will count the dowry and move it into Fushou Hall." After a pause, she looked at Wei Shi with sharp eyes. , said coldly: "It's a little bit less, only you are asking!"

When the eldest lady heard that the dowry was in the Furong residence, she felt as if struck by lightning, her entire body stiffened.

It suddenly dawned on her why Rong Yan abandoned Chonghua Building and moved to Furong Residence.

But now-

The eldest lady looked at the smiling Xie Qiao with a disheveled face, her heart sank, she was fooled!

Xie Qiao knew from beginning to end that she would not let it go, so he specially sent the handle up for her to handle!Yes!Xie Qiao knew that Chunyu and Chunzhu belonged to her, so why would she make a fuss about finding Rong Yan's Jin Buyao?Let people hold the handle as a raft?
If she was a stupid person, it would be reasonable, but she is not a stupid person, and she has some tricks!
I'm afraid that the purpose of her making a fuss is for the dowry?
Thinking of this, the Da Furen gave Xie Qiao a hard look, her fierce eyes seemed to eat her up.But he had to bear back the bad breath choked in his throat: "Yes."

"Thank you." Xie Qiao saluted, seeing the eldest lady swallowing a fly, and immediately felt happy.

Her purpose is to dowry, but the most important thing is to drive a wedge between Wei Shi and Zhu Shi.If there is a gap between them, it will be more beneficial to her in the future.

Mrs. Zhu ordered Mrs. Wei to follow her to get the dowry list, walked to Rong Que with a livid face opposite the door, and said, "A man like you should aspire to the court, not the backyard of the inner house!"

"My son knows." Rong Que watched Zhu Shi leave with a gloomy look on his face: "What are you going to do when you come back?"

Obviously a dead person!
Xie Qiao looked at Rong Que in surprise, and said with a mocking smile, "I'm the eldest daughter of the Duke Fu's mansion, if I don't come back, where should I go?"

Rong Que choked, and said angrily: "If you dare to be a monster again, I will definitely not forgive you!" After finishing speaking, he flung his sleeves and left.

The smile on Xie Qiao's face faded away, turning frosty.

Are you scared?

Walking out of the Peony Courtyard, Ming Xiu asked suspiciously: "Miss, why didn't you expose Rong Yan's identity?"

Xie Qiao said: "You think the old lady doesn't know? The master in this mansion doesn't know?" It's just that they haven't been exposed!

And once an opening is torn apart, all this will always be exposed.

"We did all the work, aren't you tired?" Xie Qiao said meaningfully, she didn't want to be used as a gunman.

Mingxiu seems to understand but not understand.

Xie Qiao looked in the direction of Furongju, and said softly, "Let the dumb girl come to see me tonight."

She was the only person of Li Shi who stayed in Fuguo Duke's Mansion, if she hadn't been deaf and dumb, she might have been sent away along with Li Shi's other dowries.

It was also because of the presence of Dumb Aunt that she could guess Rong Yan's purpose of living in Furong Residence!

Calculate her?
Then have a taste of being tricked!
……

"Snapped--"

Rong Yan's eyes were scarlet, and she knocked down a pair of pastel vases on the Duobao Pavilion with her hands, her fingers clasped the edge of the table tightly, the veins on the back of her hands were bulging, as if she was trying her best to restrain the anger surging in her body!

Seeing helplessly that the dowry that was about to come at her fingertips, was instructed by her mother to carry it to the Fushou Hall one by one, wishing to swallow Xie Qiao alive.

"Stupid woman!" Rong Yanyou was puzzled and threw the table to the ground.

She thought her mother was smart, but she didn't expect to fall into Xie Qiao's trap so easily!
Yao Huang and Wei Zi had never seen Rong Yan who was so furious, they were too frightened to vent their anger.

"Change my clothes!" Rong Yan's face was ferocious, and a gloomy look flashed in her eyes.

Xie Qiao——

The bitch!Not only did it defeat her plan of stealing money for a dowry, but it also alienated their relationship with the old lady.

She can't sit still!
