Liu Hui is an official of the imperial court, and when he sees Wang Xu, he only needs to perform the etiquette of seeing the upper peak, but he can't do it when he is facing Wang Jibao.

Don't look at Wang Jibao's usual few princesses in the Heshun Marquis Mansion, but in fact, everyone should bow to the monarch and ministers when they see her.

Liu Hui hurriedly led his father, mother, Wang Siniang, Xue Qin and others to bow to Wang Jibaoxing.

"Xia Guan took his family to greet the princess of Zhenguo. Princess Chitose! Chitose! Chichitose! ”

Seeing that the rest of the people only knew that they knelt down with him, and there was no mountain calling for a thousand years old, Liu Hui hurriedly glanced at everyone.

Wang Siniang still had some insight, and then led her daughter Ziyun to follow the mountain and shouted: "Princess Chitose!" Chitose! Chichitose! ”

Liu Hui's father and mother knew that there were so many things to say when they saw the princess, so they hurriedly followed the mountain.

This uneven set of salutes made the corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitch.

Didn't they send someone to inform them just now, and their little aunt was about to come. Why did these people go earlier?

So he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Lord Liu, is this dissatisfied with my little aunt, the princess of Zhenguo, or is he dissatisfied with today's saint?" ”

Wang Xu then sneered and said, "This is clearly contempt for the royal family!" After that, he raised his eyebrows again and said: "Although my little aunt is from our Heshun Mansion, her status as the princess of Zhenguo represents the royal family. ”

After this set, Liu Hui and others were in a cold sweat.

He immediately admitted his mistake and said, "The lower officials don't dare!" The lower officials don't dare! Please also forgive the princess and the two little princes. Xiaguan's father, concubine and others are all from the countryside and don't understand these rules. Please also ask the princess and the two little sons to forgive! ”

Wang Xu waved his hand and said, "Let's write this down for the time being." We're here for something else. ”

Liu Hui thought that Wang Jibao brought Wang Xu and Wang Brown over at this time, and it must be to record his eldest son in Wang Siniang's name tomorrow.

So he realized that he was reasonable: "Could it be that the princess and the two little sons are for tomorrow's business?" ”

Wang Xu and Wang Brown didn't say anything, nor did they ask everyone to get up, they just looked at Liu Hui condescendingly.

Liu Hui thought he had guessed correctly, so he continued: "This can't be blamed on Xiaguan and others, the main thing is that his wife Wang and Xiaguan have been married for more than ten years, and they only gave birth to a daughter for Xiaguan. When the lower officials were established in the year, there were no sons-in-law under their knees, so they had to do it. I also hope that the princess of Zhenguo and the people of Heshun Marquis Mansion are Haihan. ”

Wang Xu sneered and said, "I'm afraid Liu Xiancheng will be wrong." Seeing Liu Hui looking up at him for unknown reasons, Wang Xu continued: "We are here for another thing this time. ”

"Could it be that the Wang family said something when they went back to their parents' house a few days ago?" After Liu Hui finished speaking, he looked at Wang Siniang.

Wang Siniang also stared at Wang Xu with a puzzled expression.

Didn't they come for tomorrow's business? So what else can it be for?

Seeing that Wang Siniang also looked puzzled, Liu Hui had no choice but to bow his hand at Wang Xu and said, "Please also ask the prince to explain." ”

Wang Xu didn't say anything, Wang Brown smiled slightly: "It's mainly because someone embezzled the dowry of the concubine I and the Shunhou Mansion, and my grandfather sent a few of us here this time." ”

"This, this is not." Liu Hui looked at the clothes on his mother and Xue Qin's heads and bodies with some emptiness.

"Oh? Surely not? Wang Brown said with a smile, like a harmless little Zhengtai.

"Definitely not." Liu Hui hurriedly argued.

Wang Brown still smiled and said, "Then the adult refuses to admit it?" Then his expression closed, and he said coldly: "Come and find a few people for me to search in!" ”

"Wait! Even if there is, it is Wang who took the initiative to give it. Liu Hui said stiffly.

Wang Brown raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? We haven't heard of whose woman's dowry is used for her in-laws' family? ”

Regardless of Dayong, Dingguo, Shaoguo and other countries, the dowries of women in all dynasties are protected by the law.

These dowries can only be used by the bride woman herself or by her children. The rest, not even their closest husbands, have the right to use them.

Otherwise, before a woman gets married, her dowry list must be filed with the government.

And once the woman leaves, is divorced, or dies, the woman's maiden family can recover the woman's dowry with the dowry list.

"Those were just borrowed by them temporarily." Liu Hui hurriedly said.

"Since it's borrowed, that's good. This time, we are mainly going to check on Wang Siniang's dowry for my grandfather and grandmother. After Wang Brown finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xu.

Wang Xu took out a re-copied list of Wang Siniang's dowry from his arms and said, "Later, let's start reconciling." If there is anything wrong, please make up for it in time. ”

This, how can this still be made up?

Liu Hui's father and mother were stunned when they heard it, so how to make up for the ones they have used and spent all these years? Also, how can these things that have already been handed over to them just like that.

No way! Absolutely not!

Liu Hui's mother was originally a shrew in the countryside, and that is her strength for Sapo, and now she has no pressure to do it.

So he stopped kneeling and sat directly on the ground. As he spoke, he kept pounding the ground and crying: "Isn't this our death? This daughter-in-law took the initiative to bring us something back to ask for it. I'm not alive anymore, isn't that bullying? Come on, let's see how the people of Heshun Mansion oppress our ordinary people! ”

She remembered the example of being able to kick out her daughter-in-law in the countryside without having to pay the dowry. So he said to Liu Hui: "Son, the Wang family has been married to you for more than ten years, and you haven't even given birth to a son." Let's divorce her and get her out of the house. ”

Liu Hui reprimanded: "Mother, this is not good. ”

It's not that Liu Hui is reluctant to give up Wang Siniang, but once he really divorces Wang Siniang, their family will immediately finish playing.

The Marquis of Heshun Mansion can ignore a married concubine, but it can't ignore a divorced concubine. This is a slap in the face and touches the bottom line of others.

"Why not?" Liu Hui's mother said with an expression of you deceiving the old lady.

Before Liu Hui could answer, Wang Xu took over and said, "If Lord Liu wants to divorce his wife, our Hou Mansion will raise his hands in favor." But please also ask Lord Liu to return the dowry now. ”

"No, the lower official has no intention of divorcing his wife." Liu Hui hurriedly waved his hand.

"I didn't divorce my wife, but I have plans to make a wife, right?" Wang Brown asked with interest.

"No?" Liu Hui replied with a sweaty face.

For so many years since the founding of the country, there has been no such thing as a wife. If he confirms this matter, then let alone his official position, I am afraid that the lives of his family will not be guaranteed.

Wang Brown pointed at Xue Qin casually, "Then who is she?" Isn't she Lord Liu's wife? ”

Liu Hui carefully looked at what Xue Qin was wearing today.

Oh, my God! is dressed in a bright red dress that can only be worn by a wife, and the head is still a gold silk coil dragon with a jade hairpin.

That, that's a tribute, I'm afraid it's Princess Bao's dowry to Wang Siniang.

This is a big crime.

Other dowries can also be said to have been lent by Wang Siniang to his mother and his cousin. This is the only royal item, and it is an accessory that can only be worn by people who have a high level of county lords and princesses like Princess Bao.

If other people wear this kind of jewelry, it is overstepping, which is equivalent to rebellion. It's like if a dragon robe appears in the Prince's Mansion, it is directly equivalent to rebellion, this is a big crime to kill the head or even punish the nine clans!

So Liu Hui immediately denied it: "This person is just a distant relative of my family, and he has nothing to do with our family." ”

"What? I'm just a distant relative of yours? Xue Qin looked at Liu Hui with an unbelievable expression, "Then what is it that I gave birth to two sons and a daughter for you with all my hard work?" ”

"That's right! Son, how can you disown the piano girl? Liu Hui's mother also stared at her son with an expression of disbelief. Why did this son suddenly disown Qin Niang.

"Mother, this person is a distant relative of our family, and he has nothing to do with our family." Liu Hui stared at his old lady with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel.

No matter how stupid Liu Hui's mother is, she knows that her son must have a reason for saying this. So he said, "Whatever you say, it's what it is." ”

"Daddy! How can you disown your mother? She's your wife, huh? Liu Hui's eldest son, Liu Yunpeng, didn't kneel anymore, he stood up and ran over and pulled Liu Hui's sleeve.

Wang Brown looked at Liu Hui with a smile, and said with an expression of begging for an explanation: "Lord Liu, please give me an explanation." ”

Liu Hui took a deep breath and said, "They are all nonsense. This man is a distant relative of our family. ”

"Whose children are these children? But do they call you, a distant relative, a mother, and a father? Wang Brown paused and continued: "If this is the case, Lord Liu has committed the great crime of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife and replacing his wife with a concubine. ”

"They are the children of this relative and someone else, not the lower officials." If this is confirmed by his great sin of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, the official hat on this head will be taken off immediately.

"Aren't these your sons anymore?" Wang Brown looked at Liu Hui with some surprise.

This person is a little too amazing. They haven't come up with a more severe charge, and this man, in order to get rid of his own charges, has thrown away this little concubine and all the sons and daughters of their province?

Liu Hui said fiercely: "Neither." ”

"That's good." Wang Brown said coldly: "Arrest this woman who violates the rules and wears royal jewelry." This is clearly a great crime of contempt for the royal family and rebellion! ”

"What? I, I didn't. Xue Qin saw that there was a servant brought by Wang Jibao, and after taking down her favorite golden silk dragon and jade hairpin that she usually wears from her head, she immediately said: "This is what I took from my wife, not something borrowed, how can I be regarded as overstepping?" ”

"We don't care about this, the piece you wear on your head is a jewelry made by the Royal House of Internal Affairs, and only people of the county lord or above can wear it." A mother-in-law who came up to arrest her did not forget to popularize her knowledge.
