Chapter 43: Missing

The old lady was so angry that her face turned blue, if it weren't for the Jinyi guard watching here, how could she say that she would send the dowry back, I didn't expect Shen Ruohua to have to inch in, and even said that she was going to open the box to check the dowry list, this was a slap in the face!

She forcibly swallowed her anger and vomited blood, gritted her teeth and spit out a sentence: "It's up to you!" "The dowry sent to Liqing Yuan has not been moved, so let people send it back as it is.

She looked at Shen Ruohua with a calm face, this scourge was like being evil, not only did she not know whether she was alive or dead, but she also had a relationship with Jinyiwei, so she couldn't stay even more!

Xue Wenhao even had the heart to step forward and strangle Shen Ruohua to death, which was a great insult to the Hou Mansion, but as soon as he saw the cold eyes of the two brocade guards, he had to hold back his anger and ordered: "Bring those cages over." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info" The urgency of delay is to send these people away as soon as possible, and we can't let them entangle in the Hou Mansion anymore.

When the mothers-in-law carried the cages to the flower hall as they were, they saw that the spacious flower hall was suddenly stuffed, and dozens of vermilion lacquer cages were placed in front of everyone.

The old lady glanced at the cages, and didn't feel angry and distressed, originally these should have been placed in her small warehouse, and the things in it were all hers, but now she had to spit it out as it was, and she had to be slapped in the face, she had never had such a thing at such an old age. She hated to look away, and she refused to look at those dowries.

Shen Ruohua slowly took out a stack of folded paper from his personal purse, handed it to Qingmei and sent it to the two brocade guards: "You have two witnesses to see if there is anything wrong in this marriage." She sighed softly, "I can also give the old lady a clean slate, so that those gossip chew the tongue." ”

Looking at the dowry list, the old lady's face changed, and she looked at Shen Ruohua suspiciously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with all this, how could she take the dowry list with her? She suddenly thought of the time when she asked Mama Chang to take care of the money in the third room to accompany the marriage, her hands suddenly trembled, and she looked at Shen Ruohua in dismay.

The two brocade guards took the dowry list, glanced at it roughly, and were also taken aback, they couldn't imagine that the dowry of the third lady of the Marquis of Guangping was so valuable, just the red sandalwood carved glass large insert, the red sandalwood carved cabinet, the red sandalwood carved case such a complete set of large pieces are full of three sets, Jiang silk, python satin, makeup satin, soft smoke Luo These precious clothes are more than 300 horses, not to mention those ornaments and antiques, Shen's wedding jewelry has two big cages, I am afraid that this kind of pomp is no less than the concubine of a prince's mansion out of the cabinet, or the kind of extremely powerful and wealthy mansion.

No wonder such a dilapidated family like the Marquis of Guangping would fight these ideas of dowry, the two brocade guards glanced at Xue Wenhao, who was sitting precariously, and couldn't imagine that Xue Sanye, a famous romantic tanhua man in Kyoto, also followed the idea of his own wife to marry, and couldn't help but smile with a hint of contempt and disdain.

But just when they were about to open the cage to check, the old lady couldn't care about anything, and opened her mouth and said, "Don't look at it, it's all untouched, you don't need to open it to check." Her face was already pale and uncertain, her expression was panicked, and her eyes were just staring at the dowry list.

For a moment, everyone in the flower hall looked at the old lady in surprise, and did not understand why she suddenly stopped and refused to let people look at it. It was still Shen Ruohua who persuaded softly: "The old lady should not be afraid of troublesome the two adults, this is related to the reputation of the Hou Mansion and the old lady, where can you fool the past at will, if you teach others to talk about it in the future, there is nonsense in a word, teach me how to get by, or let the adults take a good look." ”

The two brocade-clothed guards also ignored the old lady, stretched out their hands to open the cage, and the servants of the Shuntian Mansion on the side also came forward curiously, these are all the dowries of the Hou Mansion Lady, how can they usually see it, naturally they will not let go of such a long-term opportunity.

But to their surprise, the cage was not as jeweled as they had imagined, and it was full of valuable ornaments, and it contained only a few inconspicuous pieces of plain silk and a few pieces of gray squirrel fur, and there were no items on the dowry list at all.

The few people around the cage flipped through in surprise, and looked at Xue Wenhao and the old lady sitting behind the screen who had fallen into the girl's arms, panting and unable to speak. Judging from the dowry list, these cages can barely hold so many items, and it stands to reason that they should be full and there is no room for them, but why is this cage containing things that are not on these lists at all.

The two brocade guards sank their faces and stretched out their hands to open the rest of the cages, but after a while, all the dowry boxes were opened, and the objects inside were also clear at a glance. There were no valuable ornaments and antiques, and there were no clothes woven with gold and silver, but there were some worthless boxes and cups and plates and ordinary flower and pen holders, and few of them were on the dowry list.

Xue Wenhao stretched his neck and glanced at it, his face changed, he knew that his mother would inevitably embezzle some things when she helped take care of the Shen family's dowry, but he never thought that there were only these things left in this cage, originally he knew about the Shen family's dowry, and he never imagined that it would become like this!

Shen Ruohua didn't look at the old lady who was already staring at him with a trembling mouth, and still said softly: "I also ask a few officials to help me see if the dowry title deed and silver ticket placed in the makeup niche are still there." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady's body trembled fiercely, and she squeezed out a low voice from between her teeth: "Shen, you dare!" ”

Shen Ruohua raised her eyes to look at the old lady, and smiled like a spring breeze: "What does the old lady mean by this, since the makeup niche was also taken to Liqing Courtyard by Mama Chang, I have to take a look, but I put the title deed and silver ticket of the grange for the marriage in it." ”

She turned her head and thought for a while: "In addition to the 100 acres of land that the old lady felt sorry for me and took away, there are still two Zhuangzi, two shops and the title deeds of 300 acres of land, yes, there are also 20,000 taels of silver for the marriage and 8,000 taels of silver left before, and there are only 28,000 taels of silver tickets in total, and a lot of them are placed in the small drawer of the niche." ”

Everyone heard her words clearly, and looked down at the half-open and half-closed makeup niche, the small silver locks on the lower floors had been unscrewed, and when they reached out to see it, it was empty.
