He only has his official position in his heart, and compared to the others, everything has to stand backwards.

"Uncle, I won't hold a grudge against you, let's talk about the dowry today."

mentioned serious things, the smile on Lu Wenlin's face disappeared again, and he lowered his head bitterly, and the wound on his forehead was also revealed.

Lu Qingrong saw it, but didn't ask.

Instead, he waited for Lu Wenlin's reply, and the main thing today was the dowry.

"Rong'er, speaking of this dowry, Uncle is even more sorry for you, Uncle originally locked the dowry left by your mother in a box and handed it over to Du Shi for safekeeping, I planned to give it to you when you got married, so that you can go out in style, which Cheng wants to ......"

Lu Wenlin vividly showed a person who did not know.

"What Cheng thought that your aunt would use your dowry behind my back, and when I found out, it was too late, there were many shops in your mother's dowry, but Du's mother-in-law was really not good at running it, and she lost a lot."

Lu Qingrong also guessed a little, the uncle was so haggard this time, there must be a problem with the dowry, and this problem is definitely not small.

It seems that it is impossible to get the dowry back intact.

"Uncle, I just want to know how much of the dowry is left now?"

Lu Wenlin's old face turned red, and he was extremely aggrieved when he was questioned by his niece and daughter, and he hated Du's mother-in-law a little.

If the Du family hadn't used Lu Qingrong's dowry, he would have been able to rise to the top by virtue of the power of the Xuanguo Mansion.

Now that there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, he has long been staring at this position, as long as Xuan Guogong's side is willing to move his mouth, that position belongs to him.

But it's not too late, as long as Lu Qingrong doesn't blame him for being an uncle, then everything will still have a turnaround.

"Rong'er, uncle is sorry for you, uncle didn't expect that over the years, the Du family would go behind my back and use your mother's dowry, and now your dowry is less than one-third."

Third?

Lu Qingrong didn't expect it at all.

She had calculated that according to the expenses of the Lu Mansion, if all her dowry was used, at least two-thirds or more would be left, how could there be less than one-third left?

Lu Wenlin trembled and took out a dozen land deeds and house deeds, as well as silver tickets.

The silver tickets on this, as well as the silver tickets with small denominations, should have been made up by Lu Wenlin himself.

"These are your mother's remaining dowry, and now the uncle can only take them out."

Lu Qingrong's face became colder and colder, and he glanced at the so-called remaining dowry.

She took it and took a cursory look, the silver ticket was about two thousand, and there were some shopfronts.

Although she had never gone out when she first came, she also learned from Nie Jingshuang's mouth where the store was the most valuable and where it was the least valuable.

Most of the shops in her hands are worthless, and they are not even a third, or even a quarter.

Lu Wenlin said that one-third of what he said was already making up for himself a lot.

"Uncle, don't tell me, the other dowries left by my mother have all been squandered by my aunt and eldest sister, even if the two of them can squander them, they will definitely not be left with these."

Lu Wenlin's hand trembled, and under Lu Qingrong's gaze, he stood up.

Lu Qingrong's face flashed with coldness, like a sharp sword, reaching deep in people's hearts.

Lu Wenlin trembled subconsciously, and his legs were a little weak, he found out for the first time that this niece would have such a strong chill.

It's not a loss to be the daughter of the second brother, and it's really like her father.

Lu Wenlin suppressed the fear in his heart and said stubbornly, "It's true that there are so many left, these are still what I found from the Du family, and I have made up a lot, but Rong'er, you also know that the uncle doesn't have any private property, even if he hollows out the entire Lu family, he can't make up for it." ”

"Uncle, I'm asking where the rest of the dowry goes?"

At this time, Lu Wenlin still wants to establish a good image?

Lu Qingrong felt a little more disgusted in his heart.

Even the expression on his face was a little colder.

"This, part of the remaining dowry was indeed transferred to the name of the Lu family by your eldest aunt as a weekday expense."

Lu Qingrong thought of this and motioned for Lu Wenlin to continue.

"But it's just a little bit transferred to the name of the Lu family, and all the remaining dowry was given to your eldest aunt to your mother's Zhongyong Marquis Mansion."

Lu Qingrong of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion has also heard of it, and I heard that it is a lord's family, and the ancestral mountain also has a good foundation in the army.

However, because one generation is not as good as the next, in this generation, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has gradually declined, and there are almost no important positions in the court.

Du Shi is the concubine of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and marrying Lu Wenlin back then can be regarded as a lower marriage, so over the years, Du Shi has relied on himself to be the Miss of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, showing off his might.

Lu Qingrong knew how unpopular the Du family was, not only did she not know a few typing, but she didn't even understand some rules.

It's completely an empty shell of a loyal and brave marquis's concubine.

The lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is married to the Han King, who is now the Han Princess, and is the mother of the Chixia County Lord.

When it comes to the county lord of Chixia, Lu Qingrong doesn't like the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion would even move her dowry, such a lord's family should have endless wealth, how could they take a fancy to her dowry?

"You also know what kind of place this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is, Uncle is just a four-grade petty official, how can he confront the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?"

Seeing that Lu Qingrong's face was cold again, Lu Wenlin hurriedly explained.

"However, although the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is powerful, the uncle is not afraid of you, after I know that the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has taken your dowry, I will go to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion to ask for your dowry as soon as possible."

"Uncle is really compassionate for me to dare to go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, but Qingrong wants to know what the final result is, why was this dowry not asked for back?"

"Qingrong, the uncle went to the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, found the Zhongyong Marquis, and directly said that the Du family stole your dowry, but I didn't expect that people would not admit it at all, and said that we had no evidence, and finally beat me back."

As he spoke, Lu Wenlin touched the scar on his head, and there was still a mark on it.

Afraid that Lu Qingrong wouldn't believe it, Lu Wenlin showed the scars on his arms again, and they were also bruised.

"Uncle, this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion really didn't admit it, and beat you out?"

"Of course it's true, when I was beaten out, but many people saw it, I just didn't want to deal with them, or the lord's family, doing things so rudely, it's just insulting."
